Chapter 2655: Return to Bloodshade City
Chapter 2655: Return to Bloodshade City
The ’transmission talisman’ thrown out by Tony Campbell was personally crafted by him, and its speed could rival that of an average Daai Law Golden Immortal.
Even compared to his full-speed sprint, it was not much slower.
If it was a being below the Daai Law Golden Immortal level, it would be impossible to catch up with that transmission talisman, let alone intercept it!
However, there are exceptions to everything.
Wyatt Barnes’s cultivation, although far from reaching the Daai Law Golden Immortal level, when harnessing the Heavenly Artifact ’Seven Aperture Exquisite Sword’ to unleash his full power, displayed an offensive that was not weaker than an average Daai Law Golden Immortal.
Therefore, his assault quickly caught up with Tony Campbell’s transmission talisman and intercepted it!
This was due to the Heavenly Artifact ’Seven Aperture Exquisite Sword’ losing its Sword Spirit, reducing its power from its past glory.
Otherwise, Tony Campbell’s transmission talisman wouldn’t have flown so far at all.
Swish!
Seeing his thrown transmission talisman intercepted just like that, Tony Campbell’s expression changed drastically.
Looking at Wyatt again, his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, followed only by fear.
Today, before appearing before Wyatt Barnes, he never imagined it would end in such a ’conclusion’!
"An ascender who ascended to Spiritual Heaven just two and a half years ago... his strength is actually stronger than mine! How... how is this possible?!"
Now, even if he thinks it impossible, Tony Campbell has no choice but to accept this harsh reality!
"Wyatt Barnes..."
Meanwhile, Ares Cooper, standing to the side, looked at Wyatt Barnes again, and in his eyes, apart from shock, there was only more shock.
Though he knew Wyatt Barnes’s strength was impressive and he mastered several advanced Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities,
he never thought Wyatt Barnes’s strength could be comparable to a Daai Law Golden Immortal!
And today, witnessing Wyatt’s formidable defeat of Nine Nether County’s County Governor’s Mansion’s first Sacrificial Officer, one of Nine Nether County’s only two Daai Law Golden Immortals ’Tony Campbell’...
Earlier, had Wyatt not held back intentionally, Tony Campbell would have already died!
Unconsciously, as Ares Cooper looked at Wyatt Barnes, apart from shock, there was also a hint of unfamiliarity...
He only felt that at this moment, Wyatt Barnes seemed so strange to him.
Is this truly the Wyatt Barnes he knew before?
It was as if he was possessed by a ’Divine Being’!
"Ares Cooper, do you want to go with me to Bloodshade City... or should I send you back to County City first?"
The multicolored Sword Array, converged and formed, hovered around Tony Campbell, trapping him like a cage. After doing so, Wyatt looked at Ares Cooper and asked with a smile.
Next, he planned to take Tony Campbell back to Bloodshade City and hand him over to Bloodshade City’s City Lord ’Manuel Willow’ for disposal, thereby completing his deal with Manuel Willow.
Not to mention before coming to Nine Nether County’s County City, even before today, he never imagined:
He arrived in Nine Nether County’s County City in just two years and already had the strength to defeat Tony Campbell!
"Ah?"
Wyatt suddenly speaking to Ares Cooper startled him out of his reverie, and only after Wyatt added a question, he responded appropriately, "I’ll go with you to Bloodshade City."
"Okay."
Wyatt nodded, then simultaneously manipulated a multicolored Sword Array to restrain Tony Campbell while handling another one to carry himself and Ares Cooper, moving at a speed comparable to a Daai Law Golden Immortal, heading towards Bloodshade City.
"Wyatt Barnes, as long as you release me, I am willing to pledge allegiance to you! Even if you want to assume the throne of Nine Nether County’s County Governor, I can help you."
Seeing Bloodshade City getting closer, Tony Campbell, trapped and taken towards Bloodshade City, seemingly smelled the ’odor’ of death, lowered his proud head for the first time and humbly spoke to Wyatt Barnes.
"Help me take the throne of Nine Nether County County Governor?"
Wyatt chuckled, squinted his eyes, and glanced at Tony Campbell, "Tony Campbell, if you have the power to help me take the throne of Nine Nether County’s County Governor, would you still be only a mere Sacrificial Officer at the County Governor’s Mansion?"
"Do you... really think I’m a three-year-old?"
Towards the end, Wyatt’s tone carried a hint of taunting.
This Tony Campbell, if he truly had the ability to aid someone in ascending Nine Nether County’s County Governor’s throne, why hasn’t he taken it himself?
"Wyatt Barnes, although your strength is formidable, at most you can tie with Nine Nether County’s County Governor ’Love Rowan’... With my help, if we join forces, killing that Love Rowan isn’t impossible."
Tony Campbell said.
"Ha ha..."
Upon hearing Tony Campbell’s words, Wyatt laughed lightly, "Who can guarantee, at that moment, you Tony Campbell won’t team up with Nine Nether County’s County Governor against me?"
Hearing Wyatt’s words, Tony Campbell’s face darkened.
This point, he actually did contemplate.
But he had a better plan, an intention to accomplish two goals at once!
"You have to trust me!"
Speaking these words, even Tony Campbell himself felt a lack of ’certainty’, but he still forced himself to say, "If you become Nine Nether County’s County Governor, you won’t have to worry about future cultivation resources... Then, you can enjoy the supreme power within Nine Nether County range!"
"Although Nine Nether County is under ’King Cooper’s Mansion’, in normal times, King Cooper’s Mansion will not interfere with Nine Nether County’s affairs... Once you become Nine Nether County’s County Governor, in this Nine Nether County, everything is up to you!"
Through his words, Tony Campbell began to tempt Wyatt Barnes with the position of Nine Nether County’s County Governor.
"Sorry... I’m not interested!"
As Bloodshade City was approaching, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t be bothered to continue wasting breath with Tony Campbell, "What I said to you earlier was just to amuse myself... Did you really think your little schemes escaped my notice?"
The conversation with Tony Campbell earlier was merely to alleviate boredom.
Two years ago, while still in Bloodshade City, Wyatt learned:
Becoming the City Lord of Bloodshade City requires the consent of the Nine Nether County Governor, just as...
Becoming the Nine Nether County Governor requires the consent of ’King Cooper’ of the Qin Royal Mansion!
If he rashly killed the Nine Nether County Governor, it would only result in the Qin Royal Mansion hunting him down, making it impossible to replace him.
When Tony Campbell tempted him with the position of Nine Nether County Governor, Wyatt was immediately aware of Tony Campbell’s treacherous intentions.
Perhaps Tony Campbell wouldn’t team up with the Nine Nether County Governor against him and might even join him against the Nine Nether County Governor...
But once the Nine Nether County Governor was dead, Tony Campbell could entirely shift all blame onto him, prompting the Qin Royal Mansion to come after him.
By then, he would face relentless pursuit from the Qin Royal Mansion, making it impossible to remain in Nine Nether County.
And Tony Campbell would reap the benefits as a fisherman.
This small scheme of Tony Campbell’s—Wyatt had guessed it long ago, but initially chose not to expose it.
"You..."
Listening to Wyatt say that it was out of boredom that he played with him earlier, Tony Campbell was infuriated to the point of nearly puking blood, his face turning quite ugly.
Meanwhile, his gaze began scanning the surroundings, intending to find a ’flaw’ in the seven-colored sword formation trapping him, gather his strength, and escape for his life.
Now, his injuries had mostly recovered.
If he made a desperate attempt, there might not be much certainty, but nonetheless, there was a bit of hope to escape alive.
"What? Thinking of escaping?"
Just as the general outline of ’Bloodshade City’ appeared before Wyatt’s eyes, he suddenly issued a cold shout without any warning, turning to look at Tony Campbell with eyes that became sharp in an instant.
Wyatt’s cold shout startled Tony Campbell, who quickly withdrew his gaze with a guilty conscience.
"Hmph!"
And just as Tony Campbell withdrew his gaze, Wyatt’s cold snort rang out timely.
In the next moment.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
Accompanied by piercingly sharp sword whistles sounding like fleeting blossoms, the seven-colored sword formation beneath Wyatt’s feet, as if it had acquired eyes, whizzed out one after another, targeting Tony Campbell trapped within another seven-colored sword formation.
"No—"
Seeing Wyatt suddenly attacking him without warning, Tony Campbell’s face drastically changed, his Immortal Origin Force surging like flames.
However, although his injuries had recovered quite a bit, he still hadn’t returned to his peak condition.
The Immortal Origin Force rising like flames around him was directly extinguished by Wyatt’s seven-colored sword formation.
The seven-colored sword formation emanating from beneath Wyatt’s feet and the one imprisoning Tony Campbell were both created by Wyatt, thus allowing the former to merge into the latter without facing any obstacle.
Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!
...
The crispy sounds continued, yet it was the seven-colored sword beams from the seven-colored sword formation leaving one terrifying blood hole after another on Tony Campbell, turning him into a human colander again!
Simultaneously, as previously, the seven-colored sword beams raining down on Tony Campbell perfectly avoided all vital spots, ensuring he remained out of lethal danger.
Thus, Tony Campbell could only utilize the limited Immortal Origin Force within him to alleviate and heal his injuries.
At this moment, Tony Campbell’s aura diminished once more.
"Wyatt Barnes!"
After finally catching his breath and sweat pouring down like rain from his forehead, Tony Campbell looked at Wyatt Barnes, gritting his teeth, as if he wished to leap forward and bite off a chunk from Wyatt to vent his fury.
Wyatt’s actions had cut off Tony Campbell’s last ’escape route’!
In his current condition, he couldn’t possibly escape under Wyatt’s scrutiny.
Confronted with Tony Campbell’s gritted teeth, Wyatt completely ignored him.
To Wyatt, Tony Campbell was just a man marked for death.
"Daai Law Golden Immortal... This is a Daai Law Golden Immortal..."
Ares Cooper, standing to the side, although maintained an expression of poised calm throughout the unfolding mishaps, felt his heart stirred with turbulent waves.
Tony Campbell, at least, was a ’Daai Law Golden Immortal.’
Yet, even such a Daai Law Golden Immortal, now in front of Wyatt Barnes, seemed no different from a lamb awaiting slaughter!
