Legend of Wyatt -
Chapter 1293: Killing Intent
Chapter 1293: Chapter 1293: Killing Intent
With just one glance, Wyatt Barnes recognized Kingston Stone, the Martial Emperor.
However, the moment he recognized Kingston Stone, the Martial Emperor, Stone had already passed by them from a distance.
Including Colin Yorke, the Martial Emperor of Mystic Profound Peak, and his companions, none had time to react.
In the rush, Yorke did not recognize Kingston Stone and continued talking to Wyatt Barnes without paying further attention.
"You go on ahead... I still have something to take care of; I’ll catch up with you later."
Wyatt Barnes told Colin Yorke and the two young ladies, then without waiting for the three to respond, he left like a gust of wind, vanishing from everyone’s sight except for Yorke.
Yorke’s brow furrowed slightly, and just as he was about to turn back to look at Wyatt, who was heading back, he timely heard Wyatt’s voice condensed with Origin Force by his ear.
Wyatt Barnes, once again, told him to go on ahead.
In that moment, Yorke also faintly realized that what Wyatt encountered was not so simple.
Although he did not know what it was, he could be sure of one thing.
Wyatt Barnes wanted to handle it himself and didn’t want to rely on others.
Taking a breath, Yorke called out to Jovie Lee and Keer, and then ordered a group of Mystic Profound Peak disciples to continue on their way.
At this point, Jovie Lee and Keer also received the condensed voice of Origin Force from Wyatt Barnes. Wyatt’s second reminder also calmed their anxious hearts.
Just now, when Wyatt Barnes said that for the first time, they felt unsure.
Now that Wyatt had clued them in, they were at ease and no longer worried for him.
As Colin Yorke, Jovie Lee, Keer, and the others were leaving, Wyatt Barnes was following from behind Kingston Stone, the Martial Emperor, flying at full speed, even faster than Stone.
The distance between Wyatt Barnes and Kingston Stone was closing.
With Wyatt’s current strength, no matter the ’spiritual weapon’, Kingston Stone was simply no match for him.
After all, Kingston Stone was only at the fourth level of the Martial Emperor Realm.
Unlike Wyatt, who relies more on his own comprehension of ’mysteries’, besides ’mysteries’, Origin Force was also what Kingston Stone relied on, an important component of the strongest power he could display.
And if they were to use spiritual weapons, unless Wyatt deployed the "Supreme Falling Star Arrow", he was not very sure of defeating Kingston Stone.
Now, as Kingston Stone fled for his life without using a spiritual weapon,
Wyatt Barnes, although he also did not use a spiritual weapon, was able to display stronger power without it, hence his speed was consistently ahead of Kingston Stone’s.
"At this rate, it will take some time to catch up to him."
Wyatt Barnes, speeding along, furrowed his brows at some point, seemingly unsatisfied with his current speed.
Since he was unsatisfied, he would find a way to solve it.
Intending to do so, Wyatt Barnes suddenly stretched out both hands, and shortly after, a dark and powerful bow appeared in his left hand, its bowstring appearing extremely extraordinary.
On his right hand appeared a black arrow, dark as ink.
It was the ’Emperor Grade spiritual bow and arrow’ he had recently forged.
Bending, nocking, and releasing.
The not-too-complicated movements seemed effortless and easy in Wyatt Barnes’s hands.
As the bowstring of the bow in Wyatt Barnes’s hand was released, the dark and swift arrow shot out like lightning, speed utterly incredible.
Of course, this was just the initial speed.
The speed of the arrow needed a buffering time to accelerate.
And at the very moment the arrow was shot, in the nick of time, Wyatt Barnes finally moved, shooting out like a bullet, heading in the same direction as the flying arrow.
Because the arrow was just beginning to accelerate and wasn’t too fast, Wyatt Barnes easily caught up with it.
After catching up with the arrow, Wyatt Barnes did not retrieve it but instead firmly landed on it.
At this time, Wyatt Barnes’s feet seemed to take root on the arrow, unable to move even slightly.
Swoosh!
The arrow was still accelerating, but it was doing so with Wyatt Barnes on it, getting faster and faster.
At some unknown point, a colorful protective shield quietly emerged around Wyatt Barnes.
It was Wyatt activating the defensive martial skill "Nine Dragons Protect the Body" to resist the fierce head-on winds.
Standing on the arrow, accelerating with it.
During the acceleration, every gust that blew towards Wyatt Barnes was as sharp as a knife, which could not be withstood without a defensive martial skill.
Not long after, Wyatt Barnes, pursuing Kingston Stone with the speed of the arrow, easily caught up with the Martial Emperor.
Not only did he catch up with Kingston Stone, but he surpassed him.
"Thunderous Martial Emperor?"
When Kingston Stone heard a whizzing sound fly past him, overtake him, reach ahead of him, and block his path, he had not even had time to focus his eyes before his face turned deathly pale.
He thought that it was the Thunderous Martial Emperor who had a change of heart and came after him to kill him.
However, as he hastily halted, he found that the person blocking his way was not the Thunderous Martial Emperor but someone else.
"It’s you!"
Looking at the purple-clothed young man in front of him, Kingston Stone’s face changed drastically as if he had seen a ghost.
"It seems Kingston Stone still remembers me."
Wyatt Barnes, who had just put away the arrows beneath his feet, now stood suspended in midair, calmly locking eyes with Kingston Stone, the Martial Emperor, and said indifferently, "This is indeed an honor for me."
By the end of his statement, Wyatt’s tone was laced with a trace of sarcasm.
Upon hearing this, the corners of Kingston Stone’s mouth twitched.
How could he ever forget the young man in purple standing before him?
That confrontation from over a year ago was still fresh in his memory. Back then, the young man had been his equal in power, all with the help of a ’stele’ that enabled him to use secret techniques.
Latterly, he even exhibited strength that surpassed his own!
Fortunately, the young man eventually lost his senses; otherwise, he might have long since turned into a handful of dust on the Cloud Skies Continent.
As Wyatt Barnes appeared before him, the first thing Kingston Stone did was to survey his surroundings.
He wanted to confirm one thing.
To confirm whether those two ’Missies’ who had later stirred up trouble in his Mystic Stone Forest were around.
Even the weaker one among those two Missies was far beyond his ability to contend with.
"Is Winnie still in your Mystic Stone Forest?" Wyatt inquired coldly, unaware of Kingston Stone’s thoughts, with a glimmer of cold light in his eyes.
Thinking of Winnie Romero, a surge of heartache and concern rose within him.
Originally, he had not managed to save Winnie Romero from the Mystic Stone Forest before losing his senses.
According to Dominic King,
After he had lost his reason, he left the Mystic Stone Forest directly, leaving Winnie behind.
Winnie had willingly entered the Mystic Stone Forest for the sake of his Sect, yet he had abandoned her at the critical moment. Although it was due to losing his sanity, guilt still filled his heart.
Now, upon seeing Kingston Stone, what came to Wyatt’s mind was not the lost ’Demon Sealing Monument,’ but ’Winnie Romero.’
"I never expected that in just over a year, your strength would have improved so much... Using a spiritual weapon, your speed is indeed faster than mine without any assistance," Kingston Stone remarked coldly, ignoring Wyatt’s question, with a flash of cold light in his eyes.
Deep within his gaze, a murderous intent burst forth.
He had confirmed something from the young man in purple’s earlier inquiry.
He had not yet encountered the yellow-dressed young girl, nor the little girl in white.
Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly be unaware of ’Winnie Romero’s’ whereabouts.
He had informed those two untouchable Missies of Winnie’s location back then.
"I’m asking you, is Winnie still in your Mystic Stone Forest?" Wyatt, being ignored by Kingston Stone, spoke with an increasingly deep voice, "If anything happens to Winnie... I, Wyatt Barnes, will exterminate your Mystic Stone Forest to the last man!!"
No sooner had his words fallen did the purple garment on Wyatt’s body begin to stir and flutter with a rustling sound.
At the same time, his grip on the ’Emperor Grade spiritual bow and arrows’ tightened slightly.
Around his body, arcs of multicolored lightning flitted about like numerous electric serpents encircling him, a mere glimpse of which was enough to dazzle and bewilder any onlooker.
"Exterminate my Mystic Stone Forest to the last man?"
As he listened to Wyatt’s words, Kingston Stone was taken aback for a moment, then burst into a loud laughter filled with disdain, "You think you can, just by yourself?"
If the young girl in yellow or the little girl in white were by Wyatt’s side, he might have felt some trepidation.
But with only Wyatt alone, even if he demonstrated astonishing speed with the aid of a spiritual weapon, Kingston Stone was not the least bit afraid.
After all, the young man no longer had that mysterious stele to rely on.
As soon as Kingston Stone finished speaking, the sharp gleam flashing in Wyatt’s eyes streaked out like lightning, and at the same time, his hands moved with the speed of lightning.
Raising the bow, positioning the arrow, pulling the string to the full extension.
The entire sequence was executed in one fluid motion.
Multicolored flames erupted furiously in an instant, enveloping Wyatt’s surroundings; upon converging on the Emperor Grade spiritual bow and arrows in his hands, more flames gathered at the tip of the arrow.
The power continued to condense, eventually appearing like a miniature sun, dazzling and blinding.
A terrifying aura began to spread from it.
By this time, the smile had faded from Kingston Stone’s face. In his hands appeared a seven-foot spear, his very own quasi-Emperor Grade spiritual weapon spear.
Shaking the spear, power swept around him. Surrounding the spear, the forces seemed to manifest into swift-moving pythons, poised to strike.
"Confidence is a good thing. But when confidence becomes arrogance, it’s not a good thing... The day you escaped death by my hand, you were lucky, but today, you won’t be so fortunate."
A killing intent towards Wyatt Barnes rose in Kingston Stone’s heart.
He had to kill. Otherwise, if Wyatt reunited with those two Missies, wouldn’t he be certain to die?
Recalling the young girl in yellow and the little girl in white, he shuddered... If possible, he hoped never to see them again in his lifetime.
"You want to kill me? Then let’s see what you’ve got, Kingston Stone," Wyatt scoffed coldly.
And at the very moment his words ceased, a ’buzz’ resounded, causing the air to tremble and ripples to spread out like water waves.
It was the sound coming from the bowstring of the bow Wyatt held.
And as the bowstring emitted that resounding buzz, it was also the moment the arrow shot forth!
