Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 712: The Destined Showdown

Chapter 712: Chapter 712: The Destined Showdown

"Hmm."

Taoi Romero nodded and raised his hand, shooting a Storage Ring towards Elder Kane. "Help me place these hundred thousand lower-grade original stones, betting on Wyatt."

"Hundred thousand lower-grade original stones?"

Elder Kane took the Storage Ring, with a twitching of his mouth, speechless.

At this point, he really wanted to respond with:

Did you just accuse me of messing around?

"Father... aren’t you afraid that Brother Barnes will lose given so many lower-grade original stones?"

Winnie Romero was also shocked by Taoi Romero’s large bet.

"If that boy dares to lose, I won’t marry my precious daughter off to him."

Taoi Romero said indifferently.

"Father... what are you talking about?!"

Winnie Romero’s face turned red as she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Wyatt Barnes would not know what was happening on the Romero Clan’s exclusive superior spectator seats. He was also unaware that Taoi Romero had placed a high bet on him, risking a hundred thousand lower-grade original stones.

If he knew, he would certainly be under even more pressure.

"The ’third’ combatant today, Hal Buckingham, receives a reward of twenty thousand lower-grade original stones."

At this point, one of the elderly men in charge of the combat arena handed Hal Buckingham a Storage Ring and made the announcement.

After Hal Buckingham left, Marshall Tyler moved and instantly appeared in the combat arena sky, confronting Wyatt.

"Wyatt Barnes, do you need a rest?"

Marshall Tyler, with an indifferent expression, glanced at Wyatt, a hint of contempt at the corner of his mouth, "So that I won’t be accused of being unsporting after defeating you."

"Defeating me?"

Wyatt Barnes said lightly, "Marshall Tyler, it seems you are as confident as ever... I remember during our battle at the top of the Heavenly Pivot Peak of the Seven Stars Sword Clan, you were just as confident, yet you ended up defeated."

"Hmph! The miracle of that year won’t be repeated today."

Upon hearing Wyatt bring up that embarrassing past, Marshall Tyler’s face darkened.

"We’ll see."

Wyatt continued.

Although he had thrown caution to the wind, planning to use the Soul Technique ’Thousand Illusions’ against Marshall.

But thinking about the sudden increase in Marshall’s strength after the appearance of the strange black flame inscription on his forehead... Truth be told, there was still a bit of worry in his heart. He was worried that as Marshall’s strength improved, his spiritual power would also increase.

If Marshall’s mental power also increases, he would have no chance of winning unless a miracle happened.

One could say, in this battle, he was betting.

He was betting that Marshall’s spiritual power wouldn’t increase with his strength.

"You’ll find out soon."

Marshall’s eyes were slightly cold, his Origin Force rampaging and pulsating around him as he was enveloped in what appeared to be a white flame. He didn’t seem to be planning on taking out his ancient spiritual zither yet.

"It seems you intend to use your ’secret method’ directly?"

Wyatt narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You’re very smart... it’s just a pity that today, your defeat is certain! I will let you know that being my enemy will be the nightmare of your life, Wyatt Barnes!"

Marshall stated arrogantly, his white clothes fluttering without wind, ready to strike at any moment.

At this time, at the Great Turdo Dynasty’s Imperial Family exclusive superior spectator seats, an employee of the combat arena appeared and respectfully saluted the emperor.

"What’s the matter?"

The emperor frowned.

"Your Majesty, Lord Taoi of the Romero Clan has placed a bet of a hundred thousand lower-grade original stones on this final showdown."

The employee took a deep breath and told the emperor.

"A hundred thousand lower-grade original stones?"

Suddenly, everyone sitting around the emperor, including the emperor himself, was taken aback.

"Yes."

The employee nodded.

"Whom did he bet on?"

The elder in black asked.

"Wyatt Barnes."

The employee continued.

"It seems that he’s very confident in Wyatt Barnes... It’s a pity that he’s likely to be disappointed."

The black-clad elder sneered.

"Uncle, it seems you are quite confident in Marshall Tyler? Wyatt does possess a natural ’secret method’ to rely on..."

The emperor was puzzled by the elder’s trust in Marshall Tyler.

Although he also thought that Marshall Tyler had a higher chance of winning, he didn’t have as much certainty as the elder did.

"Marshall Tyler just told me that he is not afraid of Wyatt’s secret method."

The elder said.

"I see."

The emperor nodded in understanding, then broke into a smile, "It seems Marshall Tyler has a safe bet on this match... looks like Taoi is going to take a big loss."

At this time, the spectators around the arena were all watching Wyatt and Marshall, who were confronting each other in the sky above the combat arena.

Most of them held their breath, waiting for Wyatt and Marshall Tyler’s final showdown.

They knew.

The showdown between Wyatt and Marshall would decide the ’number one’ of today’s martial arts competition.

"Two talented youths, both with ’secret methods’, are going to fight... This battle will definitely be exciting!"

"Who do you think has a better chance to win?"

"I think Marshall has a better chance... After all, when he makes his move, that power matches that of a ’Cave Void Realm’ expert!"

"I believe Wyatt also has a chance of winning. His ’secret method’ is extremely strange, it’s very hard to guard against."

...

Most people thought that Marshall Tyler had the upper hand, yet a small number held that Wyatt Barnes stood a chance to win.

In the sky above the combat arena, the two old foes, who had not crossed paths for years, were once again pitted against each other.

The last time, Wyatt Barnes utterly defeated Marshall Tyler using his soul technique, ’Thousand Illusions’, forcing Marshall to take to his heels.

What would the outcome be today, then?

At this moment, no one could predict the outcome, not even Wyatt Barnes.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes noticed a small black dot that unexpectedly appeared between Marshall Tyler’s eyebrows, which was growing at a steady pace.

"Wyatt Barnes, I know you can employ illusionary soul techniques through your mental strength. Besides, your mental strength has even reached the ’Second Layer of Cave Void Realm’. However, it’s a pity that, once I execute my ’secret method’, my own mental strength will greatly surpass yours. Your illusion soul techniques will then be simply ineffective!"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes heard Marshall Tyler’s arrogant voice, condensed through origin force, whispering in his ears.

Upon hearing this voice of origin force, Wyatt Barnes’ face turned pale within an instant.

This Marshall Tyler, how could he possibly know about his ability to utilize this illusion soul technique?

Besides, how could he also know the strength of his mental strength?

How could this be possible?

Even if this Marshall Tyler may probably not be an ’Inscription Master’, but even if he were and found out about his mental strength, he would never learn that Wyatt Barnes had used ’Soul Techniques’ to defeat Hal Buckingham.

What’s more, from Marshall Tyler’s words, it seemed that he even knew the exact function of Wyatt Barnes’ soul technique.

For a moment, Wyatt Barnes felt a chill running down his spine, as if he was completely exposed before someone else’s eyes.

This feeling, to say the least, was utterly unpleasant.

"How... How the hell do you know that?"

Wyatt Barnes took a deep breath and asked in a calm voice.

"I don’t have any obligation to tell you... you, Wyatt Barnes, are destined to be crushed beneath my foot today!"

Marshall Tyler responded indifferently, growing more and more arrogant with every passing word.

Meanwhile, the black dot between Marshall’s eyebrows was still growing, now even presenting the outline of a flame mark.

"Does it take time for you to execute your ’secret method’?"

Wyatt Barnes sneered, transforming into lightning in an instant and speeding towards Marshall Tyler without any hesitation.

He needed to severely wound or defeat Marshall Tyler before the dark flame mark between his eyebrows fully materialized!

Whilst running, two orbs of dim light began to shine deep within Wyatt Barnes’ eyes.

Thousand Illusions!

In the twinkling of an eye, Wyatt Barnes’ immense mental strength once again constructed an ’Illusion Space’, sweeping it towards a not yet fully emerged Marshall Tyler.

Noticing that Marshall Tyler was engulfed by the Illusion Space and showed no signs of breaking away from it, Wyatt Barnes let out a sigh of relief.

"It seems that it’s not too late after all."

Wyatt Barnes’ eyes flashed coldly, and he suddenly stepped forward.

Swift as the wind and fierce as fire!

In the blink of an eye, Wyatt Barnes reached Marshall Tyler’s side. His eyes turned cold, and with just a small move of his hand, a punch went thundering out full of origin force, furiously aiming right at Marshall Tyler’s head.

If this punch landed, Marshall Tyler would either be dead or severely injured!

But at this moment, Wyatt Barnes failed to notice that almost the instant he made his move, the black dot between Marshall Tyler’s eyebrows transformed into a dark flame mark.

When Wyatt Barnes reached Marshall Tyler’s side and swung his fist, his fist coming within inches of Marshall Tyler’s head,

Marshall Tyler made his move.

Whoosh!

In a split second, Marshall Tyler vanished from his original spot, only to reappear more than a dozen meters away.

Naturally, Wyatt Barnes’ punch found nothing but air.

"Not good!"

Almost at the same time, Wyatt Barnes’ face turned pale as a sheet.

That was because he noticed that his ’Illusion Space’ created with the soul technique ’Thousand Illusions’ had collapsed when Marshall Tyler vanished from his punch.

When he shifted his gaze back to Marshall Tyler, he noticed that the dark flame mark between his eyebrows had already appeared prominently.

At this moment, Marshall Tyler’s eyes were distinctly dull, as if he had turned into a soulless puppet.

"Could it be, has this Marshall Tyler been possessed?"

Wyatt Barnes knitted his brows.

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes realised.

The ’storage ring’ that had already been slightly shaking in his hand was now trembling even more drastically.

It was quite clear that the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ was once again causing trouble.

It was just like throwing gasoline on a fire.

Taking a deep breath, Wyatt Barnes, without any further hesitation, let his mental strength sweep out in an attempt to probe the depth of Marshall Tyler.

Unfortunately, the moment his mental strength got anywhere near Marshall Tyler, it was as if it had crashed into a cotton wall and vanished without a trace in an instant.

"How can this be?"

Wyatt Barnes’ pupils constricted, and his face turned sallow.

Regrettably, from the looks of the current situation, there was simply no time for Wyatt Barnes to think too much, for Marshall Tyler had landed a hit.

Whoosh!

Marshall Tyler darted directly at Wyatt Barnes, moving so swiftly that Wyatt had difficulty in reacting.

By the time Wyatt Barnes reacted, Marshall Tyler had already arrived in front of him.

Bang!

Marshall Tyler raised one hand, and a deafening blast rang out as his iron fist swept through the air, gunning straight for Wyatt Barnes.

Sword Drawing Technique!

At this very moment, Wyatt Barnes only had time to lift his hand and parry Marshall Tyler’s iron punch with one sword.

Bang!

The iron fist smashed onto the spirit sword in Wyatt Barnes’ hand, shattering the origin force on the spirit sword entirely, causing the spirit sword to tremble violently.

Not only that, but the area between Wyatt Barnes’ thumb and index finger, where he was gripping the sword, had been fractured, with bleeding wounds all over.
