Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1226: Sword Intent

Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: Sword Intent

"You!!"

The green-clad youth who noticed Wyatt Barnes appearing before his eyes suddenly underwent a drastic change in complexion.

Before he could make a move, Wyatt had already attacked. His lightning-like assault shattered the youth’s defenses as easily as a dry twig.

Bang!!

A booming explosion sounded, and the green-clad youth turned into a cloud of blood mist. From start to finish, he didn’t even manage to defend himself, let alone counterattack.

Without the use of a spiritual weapon, Wyatt was able to exert power comparable to that of four ancient azure dragons combined with the force of three thousand ancient Horned Dragons—this ’Martial Emperor of Ninth-Order’ died by Wyatt’s hands.

Had he been even slightly vigilant, he wouldn’t have met such a fate.

Currently, even if Wyatt unleashed all his techniques, he could only exert a force comparable to five ancient azure dragons, augmented by less than a thousand ancient Horned Dragons.

And the green-clad youth, had he used a ’Grade One spiritual weapon’, could have mustered strength surpassing that of five ancient azure dragons, in addition to the power of three thousand ancient Horned Dragons.

Had he been prepared, Wyatt wouldn’t have been a match for him!

It could be said that his death was both wrongful and suffocating.

"You... You dare to kill Senior Brother Wright?"

As Wyatt killed the green-clad youth, the other four middle-aged men were stupefied. When they came to their senses, their complexions changed dramatically, staring at Wyatt as if they had seen a ghost.

Whoosh!

One of them raised his hand and shot out a streak of flowing light.

"A message jade slip!"

Demetrius Nangle, who had just come to his senses, had a massive shift in expression.

The message jade slip’s speed accelerated, vanishing from everyone’s sight in an instant; no one was confident they could catch up.

Bang!!

Another explosion rang out as Wyatt acted again, killing the middle-aged man who had released the message jade slip.

For a moment, the remaining three were filled with terror.

This purple-clad youth before them was simply a ’God of Killing’!

He took the lives of two of them without even a blink of an eye.

"You... You can’t kill us, we’re from Mystic Profound Peak..."

One of the middle-aged men spoke out in panic.

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was killed by Jaxx Nangle, and the other two unprepared men also died at Jaxx’s hand.

In the blink of an eye, three men were dead, and Jaxx’s stirring blue robe remained free of any bloodstains. Standing in the air, his expression cold and stern, he was like a mountain-like statue that never moved.

"You’ve had a breakthrough?"

Wyatt looked at Jaxx with some surprise.

Although Jaxx moved quickly, the power of heaven and earth hadn’t congregated into a visible phenomenon from start to finish.

However, Wyatt, who observed Jaxx with specific intent, still managed to determine his cultivation level at first notice.

Martial Emperor of Seventh-Order!

Wyatt’s dantian had been wasted, and he needed to retrain his cultivation.

Nevertheless, his spiritual power remained as strong as ever, at the level of a ’Martial Emperor of Fourth-Order’.

With the spiritual power of Fourth-Order of the Martial Emperor Realm, one could see through the cultivation of all martial artists below the Martial Emperor, which is why he could easily see that Jaxx had broken through.

"Three days ago, I just broke through."

Jaxx nodded.

He knew well that although he had broken through to ’Martial Emperor of Seventh-Order’, it would be difficult for him to kill those three men if it came to direct combat.

The reason he could strike successfully was that the three men’s attention was on Wyatt, and they were afraid of him.

Had it not been so, he wasn’t confident he could defeat, let alone kill, any of them.

"Demetrius Nangle, I thought I could catch up with you this time, but I didn’t expect to fall behind again."

Demetrius looked at Jaxx with a complex expression.

"The eldest brother naturally has to look the part," Jaxx coolly replied.

Hearing Jaxx’s words, a bitter smile lingered on the corners of Demetrius’s mouth.

Was he really destined to accept Jaxx as his elder brother?

"Right!"

Suddenly, Demetrius changed the subject. "Just now, someone claimed they were from Mystic Profound Peak... They couldn’t have been disciples or followers of the Mystic Profound Martial Emperor, could they?"

Demetrius speculated toward the end.

"What does it matter if they’re disciples or followers of the Martial Emperor? They sought their own deaths; we are not to blame!"

Jaxx continued speaking coolly.

"I know that. But the problem is... just now, someone managed to send out a message jade slip. It won’t be long before others learn that we killed them."

Demetrius spoke with some apprehension.

"Five people, led by that green-clad youth, it’s likely that only the green-clad youth was a direct disciple of the Martial Emperor... As for the other four, they should only be followers of the Martial Emperor."

"Do you really think, just for those five men, that Martial Emperor direct disciples, let alone Mystic Profound Martial Emperors, would act against us?"

Jaxx glanced at Demetrius lightly, turning the question back on him.

"It does seem that way."

Demetrius Nangle nodded in realization, then added, "However, as of now, all this is just our speculation... Whether or not they are disciples or disciples of the Martial Emperor from Mystic Profound Peak is still uncertain."

"Let’s go."

Wyatt Barnes and his two companions continued onward, passing through the clouds ahead to find themselves in a gray, hazy world.

With their keen eyesight, they quickly spotted a steep mountain beyond the mist, towering into the clouds like a sharp sword thrusting into the sky.

"It is said that the Martial Emperor of Mystic Profound Peak was a powerful ’sword cultivator’. Back in the day, it was right in front of this mountain that he came to understand the ’Emperor Realm Sword Mystique’, and like a carp leaping through the dragon’s gate, he soared to the heavens!"

Demetrius Nangle muttered as he looked at the precipitous mountain rising like a sword in front of him.

"Afterwards, once he broke through to the ’Martial Emperor Realm’ and became a Martial Emperor, he remained to cultivate on this mountain, which then became his cultivation ground... He named it ’Mystic Profound Peak’."

Demetrius Nangle continued, his face filled with admiration as he spoke.

Wyatt Barnes, however, wasn’t too interested in all of this. He came to Mystic Profound Peak to seek the help of the Martial Emperor to uncover his ’past’; he didn’t care about other matters.

"Stop right there!"

As Wyatt Barnes and his party approached Mystic Profound Peak, they were stopped by a middle-aged man patrolling around the peak, "I am a disciple of the Martial Emperor from ’Mystic Profound Peak’, who are you?"

"We have come to participate in the selection trial for disciples and disciples of the Martial Emperor that Mystic Profound Peak is holding in half a year’s time."

Demetrius Nangle stated their purpose.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man first set his gaze on Demetrius Nangle, sizing him up for a while, then turned to look at Wyatt Barnes and Jaxx Nangle, finally nodding his head, "Follow me, and do not wander off."

With that, he took the lead and flew towards Mystic Profound Peak.

Wyatt Barnes and his companions followed closely behind.

Soon, under the guidance of the Martial Emperor’s disciple, Wyatt Barnes and his two companions arrived at a broad stone platform halfway up Mystic Profound Peak.

Groups of three to five people consecutively landed on the stone platform above.

These people, all following someone from Mystic Profound Peak, were clearly there to take part in the selection trial for disciples and disciples of the Martial Emperor that would be held in half a year.

"Wait here for a moment, someone will soon ask you to demonstrate your cultivation level... according to your cultivation, your residence for the next six months will be arranged."

The Martial Emperor’s disciple, who had brought Wyatt Barnes and his company here, said to them.

After speaking, he did not await a response from Wyatt Barnes and his companions but flew away.

Several others from the different groups also departed one after another.

After a while, only a group of people, including Wyatt Barnes and his two companions, remained, all there to participate in the selection trial for disciples and disciples of the Martial Emperor.

Time quietly slipped by.

Before long, some more people were brought over.

Throughout, Wyatt Barnes sat with his eyes closed, resting and quietly waiting.

Of course, he wasn’t just resting; he was also silently cultivating and trying to comprehend the understanding of the Sword Dao that originated from the character ’sword’ in his mind.

"Kid, how come there is such terrifying ’Sword Intent’ in your mind?"

Suddenly, Dominic King spoke, his voice laced with a hint of wariness.

Actually, Dominic King had long since noticed the ’Sword Intent’ in Wyatt Barnes’s mind. At first, he didn’t care, but as time passed, he realized that these Sword Intents posed a great threat to him.

If Wyatt Barnes were to direct these ’Sword Intents’ at his soul, he would surely dissolve into nothingness!

"Sword Intent? Are you talking about the ’intent of the Sword Dao’?"

Wyatt Barnes asked in confusion.

"What sword or Sword Dao intent, ’Sword Intent’ is just Sword Intent. Don’t tell me, you don’t even know the origin of this Sword Intent accumulated in your mind."

Dominic King said.

"I really can’t remember... All I know is that contemplating it can enhance my ’Sword Mystique’."

Wyatt Barnes said.

"How so? Is it very powerful?"

Wyatt Barnes asked again.

"Powerful is an understatement! Forget it, even if I tell you now, you won’t understand... In short, the ’Sword Intent’ in your mind must be the legacy of an incredibly powerful ’Saint Realm expert’."

In Dominic King’s words, there seemed to be a hint of wariness, wariness that stemmed from the soul.

Whoosh!

With a light breeze blowing by, Wyatt Barnes seemed to sense something and opened his eyes.

At a glance, he saw three elders stepping on air and landing, appearing in front of him and a group of people around them, standing there as if they were blending with heaven and earth.

Wyatt Barnes immediately extended his spiritual power to probe the cultivation level of one of the elders.

Martial Emperor Realm Seventh-Order!

"Martial Emperor’s disciple?"

Wyatt Barnes speculated to himself.

When he was about to probe the second elder, his spiritual power inexplicably trembled because he found that when his spiritual power neared this elder, a tremendous spiritual power emerged from the elder.

"Inscription Master!"

Wyatt Barnes’s heart kicked.

This elder was an ’Inscription Master’, and his spiritual power was stronger than Wyatt’s.

It was also because Wyatt retracted his spiritual power timely, otherwise, he would definitely have been detected, and even been singled out.

The elder who was an ’Inscription Master’, stood between the other two elders, frowned slightly, glanced around until he detected nothing amiss, and then returned to his senses.

"Next, each one of you will demonstrate your Origin Force, drawing upon the forces of heaven and earth, and forming a natural phenomenon... You may not use any mystique."

"Your level of cultivation will affect the quality of your training environment for the next six months."

This elder, the leader among the three, was speaking to the group including Wyatt Barnes.
