Chapter 1362: Chapter 1362: The Powerful Middle-Aged Scholar

"Hmm? My arrow..."

Wyatt Barnes’ brow furrowed; he discovered he couldn’t retrieve the arrow he had shot, as the ’Inscription Array’ seemed to have failed.

"Could it be because of the gravity here?"

For the moment, that was the only explanation Wyatt could think of.

He had heard from Julia before that due to the unusual gravity and magnetic fields in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, the ’Inscription Arrays’ of the Cloud Skies Continent would lose their effectiveness.

"Had I known, I would’ve chased the arrow and retrieved it just now... The speed of the arrows shot by the ’Supreme Falling Star Arrow’ is much slower than the speed I can achieve with my ’Body Follows the Arrow’ technique."

Wyatt Barnes felt some regret.

"Now, it’s your turn!"

Wyatt Barnes’ gaze quickly fell upon the remaining thirty-odd Savage Beasts, his lips curling into a strange smile.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

...

The remaining thirty ’fish that slipped through the net’ were all slain by Wyatt Barnes after he used ’Supreme Falling Star Arrow’ again, not a single one survived.

Body Follows the Arrow!

And at the same time as the arrow rain roared down, Wyatt Barnes raised his hand and shot another arrow.

This arrow was condensed from True Energy.

As the arrow flew, he stepped on it, following the trajectory... and just as he approached the sea surface, he successfully caught the arrow he had shot earlier and put it away.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

...

Just as Wyatt Barnes was retrieving the arrow and preparing to leave, a series of strange sounds suddenly came from the sea beneath his feet.

Subsequently, the calm sea surface once again became turbulent.

"Quick, leave! The blood of the Ghostly Armored Beast has attracted other Fierce Beasts!!"

At that moment, a pleasing and melodious voice reached Wyatt Barnes’ ears, warning him.

Wyatt instinctively looked up, only to see that it was the young woman among the three in the sky who was warning him... Without hesitation, he dashed upwards, stepping into the air.

However, he was still a moment too late.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

With a series of loud bangs, the sea was torn apart, and huge waves began to thrash about.

Enormous figures appeared all around Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes’ face changed dramatically, and as he looked all around, he saw that he was surrounded by a variety of Savage Beasts.

The first three Savage Beasts to appear gave him a sense of helplessness.

Simply because, the speed of these three beasts was too swift, absurdly so... Their speed was almost twice his, clearly belonging to beings of the late Transcending Mortal Realm.

"This is bad... I’ve hit a snag!"

Wyatt Barnes’ expression turned ugly.

With the ’Supreme Falling Star Arrow,’ he was confident he could kill Fierce Beasts in the mid-Transcending Mortal Realm... but with those in the late stage, the difference was too great!

Even the Supreme Falling Star Arrow likely would struggle to bridge such a large gap.

However, Wyatt Barnes was not one to sit around and wait for death.

Facing the three late Transcending Mortal Realm Savage Beasts charging at him first, he locked his gaze on one of them, eyes cold.

At the same time, True Energy surged out from the fifteen Saint Veins in his Qi Sea and arrived in his hands in an instant...

With a raise of his hand, Wyatt Barnes unleashed the full force of his physical strength along with the True Energy, pulling the Supreme Falling Star Arrow slightly, and then released the arrow.

Falling Star Strike!

Instantly, the arrow was fired, disappearing into the air, and when it reappeared, it was embedded in the eye of the Savage Beast Wyatt had been watching, blinding it.

"Roar!!"

The Savage Beast that had been blinded in one eye by Wyatt Barnes roared in fury, its speed increasing even more, and in a moment, it was upon Wyatt Barnes.

"Not good!"

Wyatt Barnes’ face contorted with alarm; his arrow stuck in the beast’s eye, he had no way of retrieving it.

For now, he could only condense an arrow from True Energy and perform ’Body Follows the Arrow,’ attempting to dodge the Savage Beast’s frontal assault... However, he had underestimated this beast.

"Roar!!"

Almost at the instant when Wyatt Barnes stepped on the arrow and flew out, a deafening roar exploded in his ears.

Following it was an overwhelming shadow that covered the sky and the earth.

Requiem of the Abyss!

Realizing that he had been approached, Wyatt Barnes didn’t hesitate to unleash the only close-combat maneuver from ’Supreme Falling Star Arrow,’ Requiem of the Abyss.

The string of the Supreme Falling Star Arrow, made of Five-Clawed Demon Dragon tendons, quivered, and a blade of True Energy swept out to meet the Savage Beast.

However, the True Energy blade only left shallow marks on the body of the Savage Beast... and it only enraged the beast further, as if it wouldn’t rest until Wyatt Barnes was dead.

"Am I, Wyatt Barnes, really going to die here before even reaching the Martial Dao Sacred Land?"

Wyatt Barnes’ expression turned grim.

"Enter the Jewel Tower!"

At that moment, Elder Fire’s voice entered Wyatt’s ears.

Elder Fire inside the Jewel Tower, due to the severe spatial turbulence within, was also observing Wyatt Barnes’ situation outside... Seeing that Wyatt Barnes was about to be killed, he promptly reminded him urgently.

"Enter the Jewel Tower? Before fixing the fourth layer of the Jewel Tower, isn’t the space inside unstable and capable of blasting me out?"

Elder Fire’s words caused Wyatt to pause in surprise.

Nevertheless, he didn’t ponder for long, and with a thought, he entered the Jewel Tower.

Upon entering the Jewel Tower, Wyatt immediately felt a force enveloping him, pushing him back out.

Boom!!

Just as he emerged, Wyatt Barnes was slapped away by a Savage Beast and suffered considerable injuries.

Fortunately, Wyatt Barnes managed to hide in the Jewel Tower in time; otherwise, he would have been killed by now.

Inside the Jewel Tower, even though he only hid for a moment, he avoided the Savage Beast’s lethal strike... The force that the Savage Beast exerted on him now was merely the residual power from that attack.

"The Jewel Tower can also be used like this?"

After grabbing the Jewel Tower that nearly fell into the sea, Wyatt Barnes was astonished.

Just a moment ago, he thought he was undoubtedly going to die.

"Roar!!"

The Savage Beast, which Wyatt Barnes had blinded in one eye, was even more enraged seeing that Wyatt Barnes had not died, and charged at him once again.

And the other two Savage Beasts that were in the late stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm also arrived.

"With this situation... even if I hide in the Jewel Tower and avoid the lethal strike from one of the Savage Beasts, I’m afraid I’ll still be killed by another when I’m shaken out."

Wyatt Barnes bitterly smiled and completely dismissed the thought of hiding in the Jewel Tower again.

You can avoid the beginning but not the end!

Whoosh!

Just when Wyatt Barnes thought he was destined to die and had a bitter expression on his face, it seemed a gust of wind blew by, and suddenly there was another person beside him.

Seeing the person who appeared before him, Wyatt Barnes was startled.

He recognized the newcomer—it was one of the three who had been watching the commotion from high above... the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar with a scarf on his head and holding a feather fan.

"Scram!"

After the scholarly middle-aged man appeared, he uttered a word in a calm and unhurried manner.

Almost at the same instant as the scholarly middle-aged man’s words fell, his feather fan left his hand and disappeared into the air.

At least, in Wyatt Barnes’ eyes, the fan had vanished.

Right after that, Wyatt Barnes watched in horror.

The three late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm Savage Beasts that were closest to him were all slashed into two, their upper bodies separated from their lower bodies, as they fell down with their giant, gong-like eyes wide open.

When the three late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm Savage Beasts died, the remaining ones stopped in their tracks, and looked at the scholarly middle-aged man with eyes filled with fear.

Although Savage Beasts don’t possess the same intelligence as humans, they are creatures that follow the Law of the Jungle. Seeing that even stronger Savage Beasts had been killed, they hesitated for a moment.

As the feather fan returned to the hands of the scholarly middle-aged man, the surrounding Savage Beasts scattered in disarray, plunging into the sea, vanishing without a trace.

"Thank you, senior!"

Having narrowly escaped death, Wyatt Barnes took a deep breath and only then did he recover, hastily thanking the scholarly middle-aged man.

At the same time, he was also shocked by the other’s strength.

The scholarly middle-aged man quietly looked at Wyatt Barnes without saying a word.

In his mind, he couldn’t help but recall the scene just now...

Actually, just when the purple-robed young man was about to be killed by that late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm Savage Beast, he had intended to take action.

He never expected that when he was about to make his move, the purple-robed young man would disappear out of nowhere.

He initially thought that the purple-robed young man had hidden his strength and used a speed that even he couldn’t see through... But then the young man reappeared the next moment.

Although he had dodged the Savage Beast’s lethal strike, he had still been affected by the residual force and injured.

By then, he realized.

The purple-robed young man had not hidden his strength but had used some special means to disappear for an instant, avoiding the Savage Beast’s lethal attack.

"Senior."

Seeing the scholarly middle-aged man staring at him without a word, Wyatt began to feel uneasy.

This person with normal human appearance, he wouldn’t happen to have some special preference, would he?

For a moment, Wyatt somewhat regretted it.

If he had known, he would have disguised himself to look uglier... Sometimes, being too handsome was not a blessing.

Wyatt Barnes had made up his mind.

If this guy really intended to force himself, he would definitely choose death over dishonor.

A gentleman may be killed but cannot be humiliated!

One could imagine... If the scholarly middle-aged man knew what Wyatt Barnes was thinking at this moment, he would surely want to slap him and might even regret saving Wyatt Barnes.

"Are you also from Jade Trust Town?"

Finally, the scholarly middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and asked with a smile.

"Jade Trust Town?"

Hearing the words of the scholarly middle-aged man, Wyatt Barnes was taken aback, "What is that?"

"You don’t know about Jade Trust Town?"

This time, it was the scholarly middle-aged man’s turn to be surprised.

"I don’t know."

Wyatt Barnes smiled awkwardly, saying, "Ever since I left my homeland, I’ve been lost at sea... It took me several months to get here."

"Jade Trust Town is Jade Trust Island... That island, do you see it?"

At this moment, the young woman who also came down pointed towards a distant island.

That island was also the one Wyatt Barnes had been planning to visit.

"I was just about to head there to ask for directions."

Wyatt Barnes said with a smile.

"Why did you come here for no reason?"

The young woman asked, puzzled.

"I’m lost..."

As Wyatt Barnes spoke with a bitter smile, he also asked, "I’ve noticed that the gravity here seems quite strong... How far is this place from the Martial Dao Sacred Land?"
