Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2654: One Dead, One Wounded

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

The Sword Array formed by the converging multicolored sword rays, the moment it met Tony Campbell, snuffed out the flames on his body as effortlessly as crushing dry weeds, and then all of them landed on him, leaving one bloody hole after another on his body.

In an instant, Tony Campbell’s entire person seemed to have turned into a hornet’s nest, his body covered all over with ghastly, terrifying blood holes, from which glaring, dazzling fresh blood kept spraying out in streams.

Only after a moment, as the weakened Immortal Origin in Tony Campbell’s body dissipated to the surface, did the blood holes on his body finally stop spraying blood.

"Huff~~ huff~~ huff~~~~"

Tony Campbell panted heavily, gulping for air, beads of sweat clearly visible on his forehead—cold sweat forced out by the intense pain wracking his entire body.

Otherwise, with his cultivation, no matter how hot the weather, it would be impossible for him to sweat.

"Why didn’t you kill me?"

After gasping for breath for a while, when Tony Campbell once again looked at Wyatt Barnes, his eyes, besides being filled with shock and disbelief, were also mixed with waves of fear.

Those multicolored sword rays Wyatt had gathered into a Sword Array had indeed left one hideous, terrifying blood hole after another on his body, turning him into a hornet’s nest.

Yet, in the process, those multicolored sword rays seemed to have grown eyes, completely avoiding the vital points on his body, so that he did not die under that strike just now.

"Keeping you alive is naturally because you’re useful."

Facing Tony Campbell’s question, Wyatt said blandly, "But don’t rush... because you’ll die all the same before long. It just won’t be by my hand."

The reason he hadn’t killed Tony Campbell was that he wanted to bring him back to Bloodshade City and let the City Lord of Bloodshade City, Manuel Willow, kill him personally.

By then, he would not only have completed the transaction between him and Manuel Willow, he would also be able to learn from Manuel Willow’s mouth the news about the ’Immortal Fire’ he’d been wanting to know.

"You... who do you want to kill me?"

Tony Campbell’s pupils shrank.

"What do you think?"

Wyatt countered.

"Manuel Willow?"

A flash of insight streaked through his mind, and Tony Campbell instinctively blurted out this name.

The reason this name surfaced was because, other than Manuel Willow, he couldn’t think of anyone else.

Manuel Willow was the City Lord of Bloodshade City.

And Wyatt Barnes also came from Bloodshade City.

"Sacrificial Officer Tony truly is smart."

Wyatt smiled faintly.

"Godfather, use a soul attack! Unless this Wyatt Barnes has a soul-defense Immortal Artifact of ’Top-grade’, there’s no way he can withstand a soul attack unleashed by you, a Daai Law Golden Immortal!"

Almost the instant Wyatt’s voice fell, Felix Campbell—standing in the distance, who had been scared silly by the scene of Wyatt defeating and gravely injuring Tony Campbell—finally snapped back to his senses.

Once he recovered, he immediately roared out to warn Tony Campbell.

As for Wyatt possessing a mid-grade soul-defense Immortal Artifact, Felix had already heard the Army of Silver Sea Dragon’s commander, Eren Maxwell, mention it back in Bloodshade City’s Army of Silver Sea Dragon.

Because of that, Wyatt didn’t fear Golden Immortal-level soul attacks.

However, a mid-grade soul-defense Immortal Artifact could only block Golden Immortal-level soul attacks; a Daai Law Golden Immortal-level soul attack was not something a mere mid-grade soul-defense Immortal Artifact could withstand.

Only a top-grade soul-defense Immortal Artifact could withstand a Daai Law Golden Immortal-level soul attack.

Hearing Felix Campbell’s reminder, Tony Campbell—who had thought himself doomed and was somewhat in utter despair—had his dim eyes light up, like two resplendent stars suddenly gleaming in the night sky, brilliant and dazzling.

Whoosh!!

The next moment, without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed a soul attack.

A tongue of flame that looked almost tangible shot out from the space between his brows, ghostlike, streaking toward Wyatt at extreme speed, and before Wyatt seemed to have reacted, it had already plunged into Wyatt’s body.

That seemingly solid flame was the Daai Law Golden Immortal-level soul attack Tony Campbell had hurriedly unleashed, and after penetrating into Wyatt’s body, it shot straight toward Wyatt’s soul.

Its posture was that of utterly shattering and destroying Wyatt’s soul!

However.

Just as that solid-looking flame was about to approach Wyatt’s soul, about to burn Wyatt’s soul to ashes—

A sudden change!

Whoosh!

A tiny iron fragment that looked extremely broken and utterly inconspicuous—no one knew where it had come from—suddenly appeared between that flame and Wyatt’s soul, like a heavenly chasm, cutting the two apart.

The next instant.

The incomplete iron fragment, which seemed to flicker at all times with mysterious radiance, suddenly flared with a surge of that radiance. A powerful suction force extended out from it, like it was swallowing heaven and earth, and it directly swallowed that solid-looking, aggressively charging flame whole.

After devouring that seemingly solid flame, although the mysterious radiance on the incomplete iron fragment withdrew in a timely manner, compared to before, the light upon it had become a shade deeper and more condensed.

However, because Wyatt’s attention wasn’t on this, he failed to notice it.

Otherwise, he would have been able to confirm something from it:

That is, after Swallowing Technique devoured the soul attack, the mysterious light on the surface of this broken iron fragment also seemed to undergo some strange change.

"For now, this broken iron fragment already works well enough to rival a top-grade soul-defense-type Immortal Artifact... And judging from how easily it swallowed a Daai Law Golden Immortal-level soul attack, this is probably still not its limit."

After the broken iron fragment on his soul’s side easily devoured Tony Campbell’s soul attack, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but mutter inwardly.

"Maybe... even the soul attack of an existence stronger than a Daai Law Golden Immortal, it can still swallow!"

When Wyatt thought of this, he couldn’t help but secretly suck in a cold breath.

"This broken iron fragment is a product formed by the fusion of a Jade Slip and a strange stone... That strange stone’s origin is unknown, but that Jade Slip was something that even Keer’s third uncle—an expert from the Divine Ruin Lands, whose status stands above the Heavenly Emperors of the myriad planes—valued extremely highly."

"I still don’t know what exactly this broken iron fragment is. Is there some other secret hidden inside?"

Right now, Wyatt was getting more and more curious about that broken iron fragment.

And just as Wyatt’s attention shifted onto the broken iron fragment...

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Three distinct sounds of sucking in cold breaths rang out in unison, sounding especially shrill in this silent environment.

They also made Wyatt snap back to himself at the first instant, and he once again looked toward Tony Campbell, who had just launched a soul attack at him.

At this moment, as Wyatt looked at Tony again, a blade-like cold light flickered in his eyes, killing intent flashing.

If he didn’t have that broken iron fragment...

Then just that one strike from Tony a moment ago would have been enough to burn his soul to ash and take his life!

"You... you... you actually... you actually have a top-grade soul-defense-type Immortal Artifact!"

Just as Tony was staring at Wyatt with a horrified, disbelieving expression, Felix Campbell, who was standing on the other side, spoke in a trembling voice, his face filled with terror, so scared he was even stuttering as he looked at Wyatt.

Top-grade Immortal Artifact!

Don’t even mention his adoptive father, the Number One Sacrificial Officer of the Nine Nether County County Governor’s Mansion, ’Tony Campbell’, who didn’t have one.

Even the Nine Nether County’s County Governor likewise didn’t have a top-grade Immortal Artifact.

Yet this Wyatt Barnes in front of him not only had a top-grade Immortal Artifact, but his top-grade Immortal Artifact was an even rarer, harder-to-obtain soul-defense-type Immortal Artifact!

"Hmph!"

Almost at the instant Felix’s words fell, Wyatt let out another cold snort.

With the cold snort, his hand shot up like lightning, sweeping across the air toward Felix’s direction.

Whoosh!

A solid seven-colored sword ray swept across the sky, as if it could slice this stretch of heaven and earth cleanly in half...

Pfft!

Accompanied by a soft sound, where the seven-colored sword ray passed, Felix’s body was cut into two pieces. Even at the moment of his death, Felix’s face still maintained the expression it had a moment before.

Obviously, faced with this sudden, hurried strike from Wyatt, he didn’t even have a chance to react.

Bam!

Wyatt thrust out a palm, boundless and overwhelming Immortal Origin Force howling out like a mountain torrent, obliterating Felix’s bifurcated body. Only a Storage Ring was left floating in the void, which he lifted his hand to seize from a distance.

A moment earlier, Felix, still lively and brimming with energy, in this instant completely vanished from this world, not leaving behind the slightest trace.

From start to finish, Tony stood not far away, not daring to move in the slightest.

Actually, that sword of Wyatt’s just now hadn’t employed the profundities of Supreme Heart Sword, nor had he used the Divine Ability ’Thirteen Swords of Green Lotus’...

If Tony took action, even though he was already heavily injured, he could still barely block it.

But he didn’t dare to do that.

Because he knew that once he did, he would definitely infuriate Wyatt, and he might end up dying even faster!

Swoosh!!

Just as Wyatt had finished putting away Felix’s Storage Ring, amidst flashing thunder and lightning, a sharp, extremely rapid tearing sound of the air rang clearly by his ear.

Following the sound, he looked over and saw:

A streak of swift flowing light was shooting away from the patch of void where Tony stood, flying toward the direction of Nine Nether County’s County City at extreme speed.

"A communication Immortal Talisman?"

Wyatt could easily tell that it was a ’communication Immortal Talisman’, and it was sent out by Tony Campbell. As for Tony’s purpose in sending out this communication Immortal Talisman, he could also easily guess:

It was definitely Tony trying to notify the Nine Nether County’s County Governor, to get the Nine Nether County’s County Governor to come to his aid!

Moreover, that communication Immortal Talisman most likely contained his full "background," completely exposing him.

"Hmph!"

As a chill flashed in his eyes, Wyatt let out another cold snort. Immortal Origin surged out of his body, turning into ten thousand sword rays that gathered into a Sword Array, evolving into a seven-colored sword glow and giving chase after that communication Immortal Talisman.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Though the communication Immortal Talisman was fast, compared to Wyatt’s offensive, it was still much slower. It was quickly overtaken by the Sword Array formed by seven-colored sword rays and destroyed within the array.
