Chapter 1285: Chapter 1285: A Natural Archer

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

The shockwaves swept through, compressing the air to its limits, as everything nearby seemed destined to turn to ash. Forrest Reid and Colin Yorke then made their move.

The two Martial Emperor powerhouses acted swiftly, easily protecting everything around them, including Forrest Reid’s residence where Mist Hidden Island had prepared accommodations for Mount Departfall.

Mount Departfall was precisely Forrest Reid’s place of cultivation.

Even though Forrest Reid and Colin Yorke acted in time to prevent the surrounding area from turning to ashes, the disturbance caused by the shockwaves still alarmed the other Martial Emperor disciples at Mount Departfall.

Nine figures, one after another, took to the sky and hovered mid-air, gazing distantly at the epicenter of the shockwaves.

"It’s Elder Brother Huggo!"

Someone quickly recognized Huggo Reid.

"Who is that youth in purple? He’s actually able to fight Elder Brother Huggo to a standstill."

Some also took notice of Wyatt Barnes.

"No! It’s not as simple as a standstill..."

A few with sharper vision seemed to realize something and shook their heads.

And at that very moment.

Wyatt Barnes, standing still, casually drew an Emperor Grade spiritual arrow and effortlessly parried Huggo Reid’s full-strength strike, mockingly looked at Huggo Reid’s reddening face, "Is this the extent of your strength?"

"Ha!"

Provoked by Wyatt Barnes, Huggo Reid suddenly let out a thunderous shout, his great axe surging with boundless power.

Alas, his strength ultimately failed to make Wyatt Barnes’ arrow budge the slightest bit, his mighty force vanishing without a trace.

"It’s over."

Wyatt Barnes said calmly, his face serene, as he made his move.

His arrow quivered, and the rampant multicolored flames around him suddenly turned into a sword-like shape, sweeping out from his body like a sword, and slammed into Huggo Reid.

Bang!!

With a loud blast, Huggo Reid’s body trembled and, unsurprisingly, was sent flying by the power sweeping out from Wyatt Barnes.

"Urgh!"

"Wow!!"

...

As another shockwave spread outwards, the onlookers could only see Huggo Reid being flung like an arrow released from its bow, flying over a hundred meters, continuously spewing blood from his mouth in an extremely wretched state.

In contrast, the other party involved stood there, immovable as a mountain.

From beginning to end, he didn’t move an inch.

"So strong!"

The pupils of Mount Departfall’s disciples contracted as they fixed their gaze on Wyatt Barnes, their hearts filled with shock.

Huggo Reid was the number one among the disciples of Mount Departfall.

He was also the only Martial Emperor Realm direct disciple under Departfall Martial Emperor.

Yet, such an existence was defeated by this unfamiliar youth in purple, and the defeat was clean and decisive.

"He showed mercy."

Many realized this.

"That one... looks like Mystic Profound Martial Emperor!"

Quickly, another direct disciple of Forrest Reid recognized Colin Yorke, who was standing not far from Forrest Reid.

Colin Yorke and Forrest Reid, even before their breakthrough to the ’Martial Emperor Realm’, had been friends for many years.

After they both advanced to ’Martial Emperor Realm’, becoming famous Martial Emperor powerhouses of the Cloud Skies Continent, their friendship persisted, often visiting each other.

As direct disciples under their command, they were all familiar with the two of them.

"He’s Mystic Profound Martial Emperor? Then... could that purple-clad youth be his foremost direct disciple, ’Dominic Campbel’?"

"I’ve long heard that Mystic Profound Martial Emperor has a direct disciple who is also a Martial Emperor powerhouse."

...

Many of Mount Departfall’s disciples whispered among themselves.

"He’s not Dominic! I’ve seen Dominic before; that’s not him... and as far as I know, Dominic is not a match for Elder Brother Huggo."

One of Mount Departfall’s disciples shook his head.

As one of the few Martial Emperor direct disciples of Departfall Martial Emperor, he knew far more than the others.

"Not Dominic? Could it be a new disciple recently taken by Mystic Profound Martial Emperor?"

Many privately speculated.

"Haha... Elder Brother Ling Tian is truly capable."

At this moment, Forrest Reid laughed heartily, not the least bit upset by Huggo Reid’s defeat at the hands of Wyatt Barnes.

Even within the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be a hint of pleasure.

It was as if he was happy for Wyatt Barnes for defeating Huggo Reid.

Huggo Reid was too arrogant, and Forrest Reid had long been looking for an opportunity to tame his sharpness.

This time, Wyatt Barnes had done him a favor.

"Departfall Martial Emperor flatters me."

At that moment, Wyatt Barnes returned to Colin Yorke’s side, nodding modestly at Forrest Reid.

"Little Tiger... have you learned your lesson this time?"

Colin Yorke looked at Huggo Reid, who had taken pill medicine to heal and had significantly recovered, and mockingly smiled as he asked.

"Hmph!"

Hearing Colin Yorke’s teasing, Huggo Reid snorted lowly, obediently returned behind Forrest Reid, and looked at Wyatt Barnes again, his gaze filled with more wariness.

His heart still harbored some lingering fear.

Initially, because Colin Yorke regarded Wyatt Barnes as a friend, he, for no good reason, was made to feel inferior, which greatly displeased him, hence the provocation.

He wanted to defeat Wyatt Barnes to prove that Wyatt Barnes was not worthy of being Colin Yorke’s friend.

Who knew, his confidence was shattered with just one exchange, as he was defeated.

Moreover, he could feel that the other party had held back.

Otherwise, he would already be dead.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian."

At this moment, Colin Yorke handed over the "dragon tendons" that Forrest Reid had given him earlier to Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes reached out to take it, feeling a surge of excitement.

The "dragon tendons" of a Flood Dragon at the Second Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm!

Soon, Wyatt Barnes gripped the dragon tendons with both hands and started tugging at them, as if trying to snap them.

However, no matter how much the sword-shaped flames of five colors erupted from his body and he exerted all his strength, the dragon tendons only stretched a bit and didn’t snap at all.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, these dragon tendons come from the Flood Dragon of the Martial Emperor Realm and are extremely tough. Not only you, even I can’t do anything to them," Forrest Reid couldn’t help but laugh as he saw Wyatt Barnes’s actions.

"Yes, Elder Brother Ling Tian... It is said that even an existence at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm may not be able to snap the dragon tendons of a Flood Dragon from the Demon Emperor Realm," Colin Yorke added.

Wyatt Barnes nodded, his expression filled with hard-to-suppress excitement.

With such dragon tendons, once he applied them to the Emperor Grade spirit arch and arrow he had prepared, an Emperor Grade spirit bow and arrow would be born.

In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, an Emperor Grade spirit bow and arrow were known as a ’Sagely Weapon.’

"With a Sagely Weapon, I can officially begin cultivating the Emperor Grade martial arts ’Supreme Falling Star Arrow’!" Wyatt Barnes thought, with an inexplicable thrill.

For a moment, Wyatt Barnes was eager to return.

After bidding farewell to Colin Yorke and Forrest Reid, he hurried away.

Of course, he didn’t return to where the group from Mystic Profound Peak was staying but to the wooden house on the northeast side of Mist Hidden Island, to guard the two young girls while studying the Emperor Grade martial arts ’Supreme Falling Star Arrow.’

The essence of ’Supreme Falling Star Arrow’ had already been etched into his mind, unforgettable.

This was a peculiar ability granted to him by his soul. By merging his mental power into the ’Holy Simplicity’ containing Emperor Grade martial arts, he could firmly memorize the content within.

Ordinary people couldn’t possibly do this.

’Supreme Falling Star Arrow,’ an archery technique, demanded exceptional mastery of the basics, starting with aiming.

However, this wasn’t too difficult for Wyatt Barnes.

In his past life, he was the strongest Weapon King on Earth. Although he never dealt with the ancient long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, he was quite familiar with various firearms.

Even in his past life, his shooting skill reached the pinnacle, able to explode the head of a target hundreds of meters away with a sniper rifle, without using a sight!

Therefore, for Wyatt Barnes, who had already honed an instinct for aiming, getting familiar with the targeting of bow and arrow wasn’t too daunting.

Within just one day and night, he was almost able to make every shot count.

In this life, Wyatt Barnes was a born archer.

The next morning dawned, and the first light covered the land.

The fresh air made Wyatt Barnes comfortably close his eyes. Although he hadn’t slept for a full day and night, he didn’t feel the slightest fatigue.

At his level of cultivation, even going without rest for a month wouldn’t cause fatigue.

Of course, that was just the body.

The heart, more or less, does tire.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes seemed to perceive something, his eyebrows raised, and he immediately looked up at the sky.

There, a flock of seabirds was passing by.

Whoosh!

Wyatt Barnes’s purple clothes billowed, and a bow appeared out of thin air in his hand. The bow was pitch-black as ink, so black that it seemed to suck in the gaze of whoever looked at it, like an unfathomable abyss.

On the bow, there was also a crimson bowstring, as thick as an adult man’s thumb, perfectly integrated with the black body of the bow, as if they were one.

Wyatt Barnes held the bow with his left hand, aiming at the flock of seabirds flying across the sky with the front of the bow.

His right hand, unbeknownst to when, had also approached the bow, and at that moment, a black arrow appeared in his hand, just like the bow.

The arrowhead was sharp, gleaming with a cold luster as if it could penetrate anything.

Creak! Creak!

Unbeknownst to when, Wyatt Barnes had nocked the arrow to the bowstring, and as his right hand, which gripped the arrow, flared with a wisp of milky white flames, he drew the bowstring, but not by much.

It wasn’t that Wyatt Barnes wanted to do so, but with his own Origin Force, he simply couldn’t draw the bow much.

This bow was no ordinary bow.

Not to mention anything else, the bowstring alone was made from the dragon tendons of a Flood Dragon of the Second Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm, said to be something not even peak Martial Emperor Realm powerhouses could snap.

For him, being at the ’First level’ of the Martial Emperor Realm and able to pull it slightly with Origin Force was already quite an achievement.

"It’s starting!"

He set his heart, and Wyatt Barnes’s gaze locked onto the flock of seabirds in the sky.

The seabirds flew leisurely, unaware of the impending danger.

One.

Two.

Three.

Release!

In an instant, Wyatt Barnes’s thoughts flickered, the hand holding the arrow released, allowing the arrow to shoot forth.

Swoosh!

In a flash of lightning, from Wyatt Barnes’s perspective, the arrow he released became a bolt of lightning, shooting through the sky and piercing one of the seabirds.

After penetrating one bird, the arrow continued to fly, piercing through a second seabird.

And then, a third seabird was killed!
