Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1041: Threat

Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041: Threat

Ever since Wyatt Barnes killed Daniel Tucker with a talisman, and the three individuals from the Impermanence Sect appeared, Winnie Romero’s face underwent subtle changes.

At first, she had no idea that her Brother Barnes was being targeted by the Impermanence Sect.

She only thought it was because Camden Taylor was dissatisfied with her Brother Barnes which led to their Sect’s elder taking action, wishing to teach her Brother Barnes a lesson.

It wasn’t until Wyatt Barnes swore an oath by the "Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation" that she realized, the people from the Impermanence Sect had come for more than just seeking vengeance against her Brother Barnes.

They were after something much greater!

The three ’fragments of profound mysteries’ inside the corpse of the Martial Emperor within the Martial Emperor’s secret treasure.

These three ’fragments of profound mysteries’, she was not unfamiliar with.

Upon seeing her Brother Barnes truly take the oath and the "Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation" responding, she involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief, thinking her Brother Barnes could avoid a disaster this way.

Who knew, at the critical moment, more people showed up.

From the North Nether Sect, Toby Fenning!

This name, she heard when the old person from the Impermanence Sect greeted the elder from the North Nether Sect, was not unfamiliar to her.

Back when she was at the Blade and Sword Sect, she had heard detailed talks about the three major ’second-tier forces’ of the Northern Desert, which included the Supreme Elders of the three major forces, the three ’Martial Emperor powerhouses’.

From the Emerging Cloud Sect, Daniel Tucker!

From the North Nether Sect, Toby Fenning!

From the Impermanence Sect, Crystal Buckingham!

Daniel Tucker was killed by her Brother Barnes using a talisman.

Winnie Romero could silently guess his identity from the casual manner in which the elder from the Impermanence Sect faced Toby Fenning.

A Supreme Elder from the Impermanence Sect, a Martial Emperor powerhouse, Crystal Buckingham!

Even she was stunned at that moment.

All the Martial Emperor powerhouses from the three major second-tier forces had gathered in this small, remote kingdom of Crimson Heaven?

Incredible!

As time passed, she finally understood the whole story.

Crystal Buckingham was here for the ’fragments of profound mysteries’ that originated from within the corpse of the Martial Emperor possessed by her Brother Barnes.

Toby Fenning was here to avenge Qadir Adams, the top youth of the current generation from the North Nether Sect.

Then, as the situation evolved in rapid succession, it made her heart hang in suspense.

Seeing her Brother Barnes being targeted by two Martial Emperor powerhouses, a chilling sense of dread rose within her, cold to the bone.

"Hmm?"

Quickly, Winnie Romero noticed that Wyatt Barnes had turned his head upon hearing her calling out, looking at her.

At this moment, she clearly saw the seriousness in her Brother Barnes’ eyes.

"It seems that Brother Barnes isn’t as nonchalant as he appears on the surface... The suppression he feels from the two Martial Emperor powerhouses is too great!" Winnie Romero thought to herself.

At the same time, Winnie Romero’s thoughts were in turmoil.

"If I want to kill these two Martial Emperor powerhouses... it would be very difficult! To kill them, I would have to elevate the ’Emperor Realm Fire Mystique’ to the ’third level’ at least."

After her gaze left Wyatt Barnes, it landed on the two aged figures in the distance. A hint of wariness surfaced on her beautiful face.

"With my current condition, if I forcibly communicate and exhibit the ’third-level Emperor Realm Fire Mystique’ to thereby bring forth the ’third-level Emperor Realm Sword Mystique’, exhibiting strength comparable to that of an ancient Horned Dragon with eight thousand heads... Even if I can kill one of them, the power originating from my ’Fire Spirit Body’ will likely explode in an instant!"

Winnie Romero was more familiar with her own condition than anyone else.

"Winnie, no matter what happens... you must not forcibly communicate with a higher level ’Fire Mystique’ and attack them!"

Simultaneously, a voice Winnie Romero was all too familiar with entered her ears, causing her heart to tremble with warmth, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

Her Brother Barnes, even in the face of danger, was still considering her in every aspect.

"I will find a way to resolve this matter."

Wyatt Barnes took a deep breath, his Origin Force creating a sonorous voice as he spoke to Winnie Romero.

He understood Winnie.

Therefore, he warned Winnie in advance, fearing that she might do something foolish.

His spiritual force had once deeply probed into the conditions within Winnie Romero’s body, and his understanding of the situation inside her was not much less than Winnie Romero’s.

"Once Winnie forcibly communicates and exhibits a high-level ’Fire realm’, even if she can kill either Toby Fenning or Crystal Buckingham, the power originating from her ’Fire Spirit Body’ will completely erupt! She will not last until she makes a move against the second person."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

"Wyatt Barnes, where are the ’Emperor Realm Mystique fragments’?"

At this moment, Toby Fenning stared at Wyatt Barnes with a cold look in his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"I’ve said before, if you want the ’Emperor Realm Mystique fragments’, they’re not here, but you can have my life instead."

Wyatt Barnes replied very bluntly.

Of course, his daring to say this was not because he really wanted to seek death, but because he was certain that Toby Fenning would not dare to make a move against him.

Right now, the most important thing for him was to wrack his brains to find a way to resolve the current crisis.

"Hmph!"

Toby Fenning had yet to speak when Crystal Buckingham, standing not far away, let out a cold snort. His voice, filled with Origin Force, was resoundingly loud, rolling like thunder over the entire territory of the Royal Country of Crimson Heaven.

"Ah!!!"

"It hurts!!!"

...

At the same time, within the palace of the Royal Country of Crimson Heaven, everyone’s eardrums ruptured from the shock, emitting a piercing scream.

Some were knocked unconscious, and others were shaken to death!

A Martial Emperor’s fury can kill a person a thousand meters away with just a single ’hmpf’

Of course, only against those with little to no cultivation.

"Wyatt Barnes, don’t think that we have no way to deal with you just because you are acting this way... We dare not kill you, but killing the people around you is as easy as pie!"

Because of Camden Taylor’s death, Crystal Buckingham seemed to become a different person, his crimson eyes revealing a cold and biting intent to kill, choosing its victim.

His words, as if echoing from within an icy cave, were bone-chillingly cold.

"If you reveal the whereabouts of the ’Emperor Realm Mystical Fragment,’ you live! I won’t touch those friends and relatives around you."

"But if you refuse to disclose the whereabouts of the ’Emperor Realm Mystical Fragment,’ I will kill a person related to you every hour! If you insist on keeping silent, then prepare to watch as the people around you die one by one."

Cyrstal Buckingham’s words were a threat directed at Wyatt Barnes.

Upon hearing Crystal Buckingham’s words, Toby Fenning’s eyes lit up with approval from the bottom of his heart.

He desired the Emperor Realm Mystical Fragment.

He desired Wyatt Barnes’s life just as much.

Crystal Buckingham’s words spoke what was in Toby Fenning’s heart.

"Despicable!"

After hearing Crystal Buckingham’s words, the nation-destroying beautiful face of Winnie Romero was covered in frost as she scolded furiously, "A Martial Emperor threatening a Transforming Void Realm warrior like this, aren’t you afraid of losing face when word gets out?"

As for Wyatt Barnes, as soon as Crystal Buckingham’s voice fell, he struggled to maintain a calm expression, which completely darkened, becoming incredibly grim.

Once he didn’t reveal the whereabouts of the ’Mystical Fragment.’

Killing a related person every hour?

Meaning in just one day, he would have to see twenty-four people related to him killed?

"Despicable?"

The target of Winnie Romero’s scolding, Crystal Buckingham, first looked at Winnie Romero and sneered, "As long as I kill all of you, why should I worry about anyone spreading what I’ve done today?"

"Moreover, even if it does get out, so what? Will I, Crystal Buckingham, lose even a single hair over it?"

By the end of his speech, Crystal Buckingham’s eyes, while appraising Winnie Romero, suddenly sparkled, radiating a sharp brilliance.

No good!

At the same moment, Winnie Romero noticed the gleam in Crystal Buckingham’s eyes and vaguely guessed something, her complexion changing drastically.

Unfortunately, just as she realized it, she found herself enveloped by an extremely powerful force, against which she had no resistance, pulling her away from where she’d been.

"Winnie!"

It was then that Wyatt Barnes reacted, his complexion changing dramatically.

However, by the time he reacted, he found that Winnie Romero had already been pulled to Crystal Buckingham’s side, forcibly dragged over by him.

At this moment, flames on Winnie Romero pulsed and leaped up in resistance.

However, the flames on her were suppressed by an invisible force each time they flared up, even crushed into oblivion and dispersed without a trace.

"What are you trying to do?!"

Seeing this scene, Wyatt Barnes’s face darkened, his eyes flashing with intent to kill, as he glared dead at Crystal Buckingham.

"What do I want to do?"

Crystal Buckingham laughed, a carefree laughter.

But the pair of eyes that looked at Wyatt Barnes showed no change, still shimmering with an intimidating cold light, "I said if you don’t reveal the location of that ’Emperor Realm Mystical Fragment,’ every hour, I will kill a person related to you."

"The first person, I have already chosen... It’s her!"

Crystal Buckingham, saying this, pointed towards Winnie Romero by his side, the corners of his mouth curling into a cold smirk, "Now, you have one hour... If you still don’t speak up after that time, her death is certain."

Crystal Buckingham’s tone was frigidly cold, instilling a chill in one’s heart.

One hour!

Wyatt Barnes’s face darkened.

"Fine! I agree,"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Winnie Romero and then towards Crystal Buckingham, speaking in a solemn voice.

"That’s being sensible!"

Before Crystal Buckingham could speak, Toby Fenning had already laughed, "Speak then, where is the ’Emperor Realm Mystical Fragment’?"

"That location, even if I told you, you wouldn’t know it... I can lead you there."

Even at this moment, Wyatt Barnes was still reluctant to hand over the ’Emperor Realm Mystical Fragment’ to Crystal Buckingham and Toby Fenning, yet he had no other choice but to stall as much as possible.

Perhaps, on the journey to lead them away, he could come up with some solution.

The urgent task at hand was to help Winnie escape Crystal Buckingham’s clutches.

If Winnie were to get hurt because of this, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"Lead the way!"

Crystal Buckingham, with a wave of his hand, flung Winnie Romero away, then looked at Wyatt Barnes and indifferently instructed.

"No!!"

As Winnie Romero was sent flying by Crystal Buckingham, her beautiful face paled, and she immediately realized what was happening, her expression changing, her autumn-like eyes reddening with rising anger, screaming internally.

Brother Barnes, for her sake, was going to lead them to retrieve the ’Emperor Realm Mystical Fragment’?

What the Emperor Realm Mystical Fragment signified, she knew all too well.

"No way! I can’t let them succeed!"

"Kill them! Kill them!"

In her desperate urgency, Winnie Romero was nearly driven mad.
