Chapter 1288: Chapter 1288: The Powerful Red-robed Elder

Ice-Sealing Heaven and Earth!

The tiny speck of light was the culmination of the ultimate sword technique Ice-Sealing Heaven and Earth, contained within the top-tier martial art Cold Ice Divine Sword Formula on the Cloud Skies Continent. Once unleashed, it would explode into a dazzling dust storm, whistling through the air.

Any being touched by the dust would be eradicated from existence.

The speck held within it an extreme chill, such that any creature it touched would instantly turn into an ice sculpture upon its eruption.

At almost the exact same instant, the force emitted from the speck’s explosion would shatter the ice sculptures with ease.

Watch, as the speck grew increasingly brilliant, about to burst any moment.

Clang!!

A sonorous twang echoed, tearing through the sky, causing most onlookers to flinch in pain from the assault on their eardrums.

"Impossible!"

Before most people could react, the astonished cry of Martial Emperor chill reached their ears, jolting them awake while simultaneously drawing their gaze.

"Where did that speck go?"

In an instant, many noticed that the tiny light at the tip of the giant sword conjured by Martial Emperor chill had vanished.

Without a trace, it was unknown where it had gone.

Boom!

Though the speck had disappeared, the power that surged through Colin Yorke’s giant sword still struck him, violently blasting him away.

It was because he had thought he was surely doomed and was utterly unprepared.

Otherwise, he could have completely blocked the blow.

"Argh!!"

Colin Yorke, who was blasted away, unsurprisingly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face ashen, his body tottering and on the verge of collapse.

Clearly, he had sustained serious injuries.

Only after he took out and ingested a healing Pill Medicine did some color return to his ghastly pale face.

Bang!!

And at that moment, a deafening explosion sounded from afar.

The tiny, distant speck had erupted, transforming an area of a hundred meters in radius into a white sea in the blink of an eye.

However, that white sea soon dissipated with the wind, as if it had never existed.

The Ice-Sealing Heaven and Earth had come to naught.

No one was killed.

Just then, Wyatt Barnes activated the ’Mother-and-Child Formation’, retrieving the arrow that had carried the speck away.

At the same time, Martial Emperor chill’s gaze finally landed in Wyatt Barnes’ direction.

The black bolt of lightning that had been too swift for even her to catch had come from there.

As Martial Emperor chill was sizing him up, gaze about to fall upon Wyatt, she seemed to sense something, her pupils suddenly shrinking.

Next, she abruptly raised her head, looking up into the high sky.

"Who are you?!"

In that moment, Martial Emperor chill seemed to have seen something, her gaze sharpening, her face darkening as she demanded.

"Hm?"

Wyatt Barnes, who had thought that Martial Emperor chill would realize that he had been the one intervening, was now stunned to find that before chill had the chance to see the Emperor Grade spiritual bow and arrow in his hands, she had turned her attention to the high space above his head.

Listening to Martial Emperor chill, it seemed as though there was someone there.

For a moment, Wyatt Barnes put away the Emperor Grade spiritual bow and arrow in his hands and, following the gaze of the crowd, looked up into the sky above.

There stood a figure.

It was an elder in a fiery red robe, standing so that he seemed to merge with the heaven and earth, eluding easy detection.

Nobody knew when the elder had appeared.

And because no one knew, everyone, including Wyatt Barnes, felt a bit uneasy.

Had the elder intended to launch a surprise attack, they feared none among them would have survived.

In their hearts, they felt fortunate.

"Who are you, sir? Why do you intervene in the matter between them and me?"

Martial Emperor chill watched the red-robed elder with a piercing gaze, her voice grave as she inquired.

Hearing Martial Emperor chill’s words, Wyatt Barnes was stunned, so too were Jovie Lee and Keer.

Martial Emperor chill thought that it was the red-robed elder who had thwarted her Ice-Sealing Heaven and Earth sword technique?

The person who had intervened was, in fact, ’Wyatt Barnes’.

Wyatt Barnes knew this perfectly well – he was the prime mover.

Jovie Lee and Keer had been by Wyatt Barnes’ side all the while, from when he drew the Emperor Grade spiritual bow and arrow to his thunderous archery, they had witnessed everything.

It was only because Martial Emperor chill had failed to notice the Emperor Grade spiritual bow and arrow in Wyatt Barnes’ hands in time.

Otherwise, she might not have been mistaken.

Of course, for her to understand, she must witness it with her own eyes; otherwise, she would never believe it.

Martial Emperor chill had clearly tested Wyatt Barnes’ strength just a short while ago, considering his prowess insufficient to help Colin Yorke against the Ice-Sealing Heaven and Earth.

However, what she didn’t know was that,

Wyatt Barnes, aside from possessing an Emperor Grade spiritual weapon, also practiced ’Emperor Grade martial arts’.

When he had struck, it was precisely by employing the Emperor Grade martial art Supreme Falling Star Arrow.

Though he had only recently mastered it to a beginner level, the power it exhibited was not something even a perfected high-level Heaven Grade martial arts could compare with.

"Leave now, you."

Faced with the intense gaze and urgent questioning of Martial Emperor chill, the red-robed elder merely glanced at her indifferently and spoke.

From beginning to end, as if he had never taken her seriously.

"Seems like you are willing to meddle in these affairs after all?"

Chill Martial Emperor stared at the red-robed elder, a flash of icy light in her eyes, as she asked in a deep voice.

This time, the red-robed elder ignored her.

"Very well... Since your Excellency does not hold me in regard, then I must see for myself whether you possess the strength to meddle in these affairs."

As Chill Martial Emperor spoke, her anger turned into a cold laugh, and she moved swiftly towards the red-robed elder to attack.

Her speed was incredibly fast, as if she had vanished into thin air before everyone’s eyes.

As thunder flashed and lightning sparked, most people thought a fierce battle was imminent and watched intently.

However, what happened next was beyond anyone’s expectations.

Boom!!

A loud noise erupted, followed by a vast shockwave that swept in all directions, overwhelming the sky and forcing many with lower cultivation levels to take several steps back.

Not only that, but many of the nearby trees were also uprooted.

Yet, no one paid attention to this right now.

"This..."

Their gaze fixed in shock on Chill Martial Emperor, who like an arrow released from a bow, was blasted away, looking utterly disheveled.

In just one confrontation.

Chill Martial Emperor was sent flying, her composure completely lost.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes shifted to the red-robed elder.

The red-robed elder stood there, his body surrounded by a ripple of scarlet flames.

Around the scarlet flames, other colored forces flickered rapidly, but these were merely insignificant supports.

"Who in the world are you?"

After spitting out several mouthfuls of blood and taking some healing Pill Medicine, Chill Martial Emperor’s complexion recovered a bit. She looked at the red-robed elder again, her eyes now filled with a few more bits of fear.

She hadn’t had time to react to what had happened before she was sent flying by her opponent.

In the instant her opponent made a move, she only felt an irresistible force strike her, sending her hurtling through the air.

"I do not wish to repeat what I said earlier."

The red-robed elder spoke again, his voice a few degrees colder.

Chill Martial Emperor’s complexion drastically changed, and she didn’t dare to linger any longer.

Quickly, she looked at Wyatt Barnes, her eyes filled with reluctance.

She was so close to taking the third reincarnation of the Martial Emperor away.

Now it seemed that she would have to find another opportunity next time.

Before leaving, Chill Martial Emperor casually glanced at Jovie Lee and Keer. Seeing their hostile gaze, she knew they would not leave with her anymore.

She did not care about this.

These two girls were merely ’tools’ she used for locating the third reincarnation of the Martial Emperor.

Now that she had found the Martial Emperor’s third reincarnation, they were no longer of any use to her.

Whoosh!

Chill Martial Emperor swiftly disappeared from the sight of Wyatt Barnes and the others, causing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

After catching their breath, they once again turned their gaze toward the red-robed elder.

"Thank you, senior."

Colin Yorke hurriedly expressed his gratitude to the red-robed elder; just like the departing Chill Martial Emperor, he failed to realize the key figure who made a move was ’Wyatt Barnes’.

Just like him, the nine other disciples from Mystic Profound Peak, including Dominic Campbel, thought the same.

The red-robed elder simply nodded slightly in response to Colin Yorke’s thanks.

Then, after glancing at Wyatt and the two girls beside him, he left, vanishing without a trace.

He came and left like the wind.

"A hero indeed!"

"Truly, only such a powerful figure can be called a ’hero’."

...

Many disciples from Mystic Profound Peak exclaimed.

Thinking back to the scene just now, they were still somewhat shaken.

"He just used ’Saint-level martial arts’!"

Just then, while Wyatt Barnes was pondering the identity of the red-robed elder, he heard Dominic King’s voice, filled with certainty.

"Saint-level martial arts? Are you referring to the senior just now?"

Wyatt Barnes was taken aback.

"That’s right."

Dominic King confirmed, "Although the Saint-level martial arts he used were not nearly as strong as the one you’re cultivating, they wield significant power... His strength is actually not much greater than Chill Martial Emperor’s, but because he has cultivated Saint-level martial arts, he can annihilate Chill Martial Emperor in just one confrontation!"

Dominic King continued to extol the virtues of ’Saint-level martial arts’.

If Wyatt Barnes had ever doubted the power of Saint-level martial arts before, he had no doubts now.

This was because the Saint-level martial arts he had been cultivating, the Supreme Falling Star Arrow, informed him to some extent of their formidable power—which was far beyond his imagination.

"Young Master, does it still hurt?"

Keer looked over Wyatt with a face full of concern.

Jovie Lee was even more direct, reaching out to feel for any injuries on Wyatt’s body...

High above in the clouds and mist.

A figure in a red robe, instead of departing, stood there, silently gazing down at the scene unfolding beneath the veil of clouds.

"You’re about to leave... won’t you go meet him?"

The red-robed elder turned his head, looking at the woman beside him, also clad in a red garment—a young, beautiful woman.

In terms of beauty, she was in no way inferior to Jovie Lee or Keer.
