Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Wyatt Barnes is Challenged

A moment later, Marshall Tyler and Matteo Buckingham each left the central zone of the dueling arena.

"Next."

The old man spoke again.

Whoosh!

Almost the moment the elder’s words fell, a figure had already darted out, reaching the central zone above the dueling arena first.

"Serenade Nicholson!"

Suddenly, the attention of most people was drawn to the person entering the arena.

The one on stage now was the Nicholson Clan’s eldest young master, ’Serenade Nicholson’.

So far, two of the top six ranking battles had been fought, the first between Serenade Nicholson and Brian Graham. Now in the third round, Serenade took the initiative once again, inciting curiosity among the people.

Who could Serenade Nicholson be challenging this time?

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Serenade Nicholson’s gaze was fixed on one person, "Wyatt Barnes!"

Seeing Serenade Nicholson looking over and calling his name, Wyatt Barnes’ expression remained unchanged. With a small movement, he was in the center of the dueling arena, confronting Serenade.

Wyatt Barnes was not surprised by Serenade Nicholson’s challenge.

After all, he first disciplined Serenade’s younger brother ’Adrian Nicholson’ and later murdered the second-best young contender of the Nicholson Clan – ’Nick Nicholson’.

It was completely logical that Serenade had grievances with him.

"Wyatt Barnes, at such a young age, and with such cultivation... I must say, your talent is extraordinary. Unfortunately, on the Martial Dao, talent is not the only factor, comprehension matters too."

Clearly, Serenade didn’t think Wyatt Barnes had a high realm of understanding in ’realm’.

"Are you lecturing me?"

Wyatt couldn’t help but laugh. "You’re so eager to lecture me before you’ve even confirmed you can beat me. Isn’t that somewhat inappropriate? To put it bluntly, are you really qualified to do so?"

"Humph! You’ll know soon if I am."

Serenade Nicholson snorted coldly, his foot trembling slightly. He flew towards Wyatt Barnes.

In his hand, a psychic blade like a bright moon appeared out of thin air. The Origin Force violently surged from it and reflected his realm, displaying his power.

Star Chasing Moon!

Upon reaching just before Wyatt Barnes, Serenade Nicholson slightly lifted his hand, brandishing a blade in his direction.

Almost at the moment Serenade Nicholson lifted his hand, Wyatt Barnes moved.

Wind Sweeping Clouds!

In the eyes of many martial artists of ordinary cultivation, Wyatt Barnes disappeared from the spot in a blink.

However, those with a higher level of cultivation could see Wyatt Barnes transforming into a violent wind, closing upon Serenade Nicholson even before he could use his blade.

Dull thunder-echoing sounds of wind and thunder suddenly rose and abruptly stopped in this instant.

Whoosh!

Immediately after, a slight sword humming sound rose and disappeared instantaneously.

If not for those with high-level cultivation, this sword humming sound would almost not be heard.

"What a fast sword!"

Seeing the fleeting violet sword light in Wyatt Barnes’s hand, many well-cultivated martial artists couldn’t help but narrow their eyes.

Hum!

At this moment, Serenade Nicholson’s fourth-grade psychic blade was already sweeping toward the nearby Wyatt Barnes, turning into a round bright moon with a violent motion.

It seemed that Wyatt Barnes was already prepared, moving unhurriedly to the side just before Serenade Nicholson swung his blade.

In the eyes of those with high cultivation, Wyatt Barnes instantly completed the actions of drawing the sword and sheathing it. Ironically, when sheathing the sword, he effortlessly avoided danger by moving to the side.

Uncertain of his target due to the interference of other celestial bodies, Serenade Nicholson’s gaze hardened as he attempted to control and redirect his bright moon to attack Wyatt Barnes.

"You’ve already lost."

The calm voice arose abruptly, stunning Wyatt Barnes, who had moved to the side.

Lost?

Serenade Nicholson was taken aback on hearing Wyatt Barnes.

When he noticed the strange looks from those around him, an ominous premonition welled up inside him. After storing his psychic blade, he hastily looked at Wyatt Barnes and asked solemnly, "What do you mean by this?"

Wyatt Barnes didn’t answer Serenade Nicholson. His gaze slightly moved down, stopping at Serenade Nicholson’s throat.

At Serenade Nicholson’s throat, a shallow sword mark had appeared, with a clearly visible bloodstain on it: seductive and striking.

Sensing Wyatt Barnes’s gaze, Serenade Nicholson felt a chill on his neck. When he touched his throat with his hand, his hand was soon covered with dazzling fresh blood.

"You... how is this possible?!"

Serenade Nicholson looked at Wyatt Barnes, his eyes dull, and utterly disbelieving.

Now, he had guessed it.

The moment Wyatt Barnes approached him, he had made his move.

There was that moment when he felt a gust of cold wind on his throat, initially, he had assumed it was the sudden drop in temperature. But thinking about it now, it was because of Wyatt Barnes’s sword.

SO FAST!

Too fast!

Serenade Nicholson never expected Wyatt Barnes’s sword to be so quick that he didn’t even have time to react. His neck was lacerated by Wyatt’s blade.

Meanwhile, Serenade Nicholson broke into a cold sweat from the shock.

He could imagine that if Wyatt Barnes hadn’t been merciful just now, he would have been killed by Wyatt’s sword piercing his throat.

He had seen Wyatt Barnes’ throat piercing strike before.

The young talent of their Nicholson Clan, ’Nick Nicholson’, was killed by Wyatt Barnes’ sword piercing his throat.

"Now, do you still think you have the right to discipline me?"

Wyatt Barnes stood aside, looking calmly at Serenade Nicholson, expressions neither joyous nor angry, revealing no emotions at all.

"I admit, I am not qualified to discipline you... however, I still thank you for your mercy."

Serenade Nicholson took a deep breath, his face revealing a complex play of emotions, and finally managed to force out a sincere smile.

As his words fell, Serenade Nicholson left the center of the fighting ring in the sky.

"This Serenade is quite a character, unlike his younger brother."

Seeing Serenade admit defeat so easily, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but feel slightly surprised.

"Wyatt Barnes wins!"

At this moment, the elder in the sky above the fighting ring announced.

At this moment, the two elders in charge of today’s ’Dynastic Martial Contest’ looked at Wyatt Barnes with a hint of complexity in their eyes.

The young man in the purple robe had entered their sight when they came with the Emperor.

He dared to be disrespectful in front of the Emperor of the Great Turdo Dynasty.

Originally, they thought that the young man in the purple robe was so audacious because he was shielded by his status as Taoi Romero’s son-in-law, but now they didn’t think so.

With the talent and insight shown by this young man in the purple robe, he indeed had the right to be arrogant.

"How is this Wyatt Barnes so strong?"

After Serenade Nicholson returned to the superior spectator seat where the Nicholson Clan people were, his younger brother ’Adrian Nicholson’ looked extremely unhappy. Looking at the young man in the purple robe standing in the distance, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"In the future, don’t provoke this Wyatt Barnes... you, I, and our Nicholson Clan don’t want to mess with him."

Serenade Nicholson glanced at Adrian Nicholson with a warning look, and his words were clearly not just meant for Adrian Nicholson.

The clan chief and the remaining high-ranking members of the Nicholson Clan were all wearing bitter smiles and expressions of helplessness.

They knew that what Serenade Nicholson said was correct.

Regardless of Wyatt Barnes’ own frightening talent and insight, his background alone was enough to make the Nicholson Clan tread carefully around him.

"So, when Brother Barnes was fighting with me earlier, he was hiding so much strength... Even ’Serenade Nicholson’, the top talent of the Nicholson Clan’s younger generation, is no match for him in one go."

After Winnie Romero received the Storage Ring from the fighting ring staff, she gazed at Wyatt Barnes from afar and muttered to herself.

From the moment Wyatt Barnes moved, to his attack, and then to his sidestepping.

All these things happened in a flash, and the extraordinary phenomenon in the sky hadn’t even had time to form.

From this, it could be inferred that Wyatt Barnes’ speed was shockingly fast.

"Good lad... hiding so deep!"

Taoi Romero’s eyes brightened, and a rare hint of a smile appeared on his face.

"Miss, how many original stones did you earn for Brother Barnes this time?"

Elder Kane looked at Winnie Romero and asked with a smile.

"Over eight thousand."

Winnie Romero regained her senses, a brilliant smile blooming on her stunning face.

"Not bad... but, there won’t be such a good opportunity next time."

Elder Kane nodded.

Winnie Romero deeply agreed with Elder Kane’s words. The reason she could earn so much this time was that the people of the fighting ring didn’t know Wyatt Barnes’ true cultivation.

Because of this, during the duel between Wyatt Barnes and Serenade Nicholson, Wyatt Barnes’ ’odds’ were much higher than Serenade Nicholson’s.

But after this contest, Wyatt Barnes’ ’odds’ will clearly not be this high again since he’s capable of defeating Serenade Nicholson in one round.

"This Wyatt Barnes, his strength is so powerful... if he can defeat Serenade Nicholson in one round, does that mean he can also defeat Matteo in one round?"

The Emperor of the Great Turdo Dynasty raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

At this moment, he seemed to have completely disregarded Wyatt Barnes’ initial disrespect towards him.

"Worthy of being Marshall Tyler’s arch-nemesis, with his strength, he is qualified to be Marshall Tyler’s opponent."

The elderly man in black beside him said solemnly.

"How is that possible... How could this Wyatt Barnes possibly have such terrifying strength?"

Sitting next to the elderly man in black, Sophie Tyler had a look of disbelief on her pretty face, mixed with a hint of worry for her brother Marshall Tyler.

She knew in her heart that the battle between her brother Marshall Tyler and Wyatt Barnes was inevitable today.

Moreover, the biggest motivation that has urged her brother to move forward over the years is undoubtedly ’Wyatt Barnes’.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Marshall Tyler himself, at this moment, looked at Wyatt Barnes, his face revealing surprise, but his eyes were filled with a strong desire to fight, "I didn’t expect you to have such a strong strength... well, that’s good. Otherwise, if you were too weak, it would lack interest."

"Impossible... impossible... how old is he? How can he be so strong?"

Matteo Buckingham, who had been defeated by Marshall Tyler just now, his injuries completely healed after taking the Healing Pill Medicine. However, after witnessing Wyatt Barnes’ strength, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Initially, after witnessing the strength of Serenade Nicholson and Brian Graham, he knew in his heart that he was not their match.

As for Hal Buckingham, they were cousins. Even though he had been away for many years, he had practiced with him a while back, and he knew he was far from Hal Buckingham’s match.
