Chapter 1370: Chapter 1370 Wyatt Barnes Takes the Stage

Bang!!

Without any suspense, Foresty Crawford was injured by a palm strike from Jemma Clifford, flung to the ground along with his staff, rolling several times before coming to a halt, looking utterly disheveled.

The once imposing member of the Thirteen Guardians is now defeated by a woman.

"You’ve lost."

Jemma Clifford flicked her black whip, making it taut once again, and calmly said while pointing it directly at where Foresty Crawford was.

Creak!

Before Foresty Crawford and the onlookers could react, the door of the wooden house that belonged to the Thirteen Guardians, specifically house number twelve, was opened.

Following that, a person walked out.

This was a young man whose height was similar to Wyatt Barnes, nearly one meter eighty, seemingly thinner than Foresty Crawford... However, his eyes occasionally revealed a hint of coldness.

One could tell he was not to be trifled with at a glance.

"Tsk tsk... Foresty, you really have shamed the Thirteen Guardians! Defeated by a little girl, from this moment on, you are no longer one of the Thirteen Guardians."

The cold young man looked at Foresty Crawford, who was struggling to stand up, and said with a sneer.

"Luis Lee!"

Foresty Crawford cast a cold glance at the youth but did not say anything else, as he directly jumped off the stage.

Just as Luis Lee had said.

From this moment on, he was no longer a member of the Thirteen Guardians.

The Thirteen Guardians, if those ranked higher were defeated, would usually only drop one place and not be expelled...

However, the problem was that he was ranked ’thirteenth’, with no place to fall back to!

"Jemma Clifford, right? Within a maximum of three months... whatever you’ve taken from me today, I, Foresty Crawford, will retrieve it with my own hands."

After Foresty Crawford jumped off the stage, he directly looked at Jemma Clifford and carefully pronounced each word.

After speaking, without waiting for Jemma Clifford to respond, he transformed into a gust of wind, blowing towards a dilapidated wooden house on the perimeter. He kicked the person in front of the wooden house aside and barged into the house.

"What did I do to deserve this?"

The unfortunate young man who was kicked aside and whose house was taken was left with a bitter smile on his face... With so many people in that row of wooden houses, why did Foresty choose his?

Of course, even though Foresty took his house, he did not dare to retake it.

What a joke!

If he had the ability to take the wooden house from Foresty’s hands, he would have replaced Foresty and become a prominent figure among the Thirteen Guardians already.

"Did not expect us Thirteen Guardians to gain a new female member..."

Luis Lee, standing in front of house number twelve, looked at Jemma Clifford and smiled.

However, Jemma Clifford did not pay him any attention, instead, she looked down below the stage.

Immediately, Luis Lee’s face sank.

Following that, he looked where Jemma Clifford was gazing only to discover that at the place where her eyes landed, a young man in a purple robe was standing.

For a moment, a hint of hostility rose in his eyes.

"Wyatt Barnes, this place I’m in is quite awkward."

Jemma Clifford looked at Wyatt Barnes and said with a smile.

Hearing Jemma Clifford’s words, apart from Wyatt Barnes himself, including Luis Lee, nobody else understood the meaning behind Jemma Clifford’s words...

"It’s your own fault for picking number thirteen at the start."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head with a smile, naturally guessing the meaning behind Jemma Clifford’s words.

Jemma Clifford said her position was awkward because her current rank among the Thirteen Guardians was uncomfortable... Number thirteen, the last one.

At this point, no matter whom Wyatt Barnes defeats ahead of her, she would be eliminated.

"I suppose I’ll have to fight another battle then."

Jemma Clifford shrugged with a hint of resignation in her tone, and at the same time, her gaze landed on Luis Lee, brimming with fighting spirit.

At this moment, including Luis Lee, the people around them began to realize.

Now, they finally understood the meaning behind Jemma Clifford’s earlier words... She, unwilling to settle for being the ’thirteenth’ in the Thirteen Guardians, felt her position was awkward.

And indeed, it was an awkward position.

No matter who among those ahead of her was defeated, she would have to be eliminated.

Just like the former ’thirteenth’ of the Thirteen Guardians, Foresty Crawford, he was willing to stand at the last place because he had fought with everyone else apart from the top five.

Seven battles, seven defeats!

Hence, he could only be resigned to being the last.

As for the top five of the Thirteen Guardians, they were all at the later stages of the Transcending Mortal Realm, he knew his limits well enough not to even think of challenging them, let alone actually doing it.

"It seems Jemma Clifford wants to challenge Luis Lee, the ’twelfth’ of the Thirteen Guardians!"

Quite a few people exclaimed quietly.

"If it were me, being able to defeat Foresty Crawford, I would certainly challenge those ranked above... You know, the higher your rank in the Thirteen Guardians, the more benefits you get."

Someone else said.

Their words found agreement amongst many.

If there was the chance, who wouldn’t want to advance a step further?

Therefore, Jemma Clifford acting in this manner was justifiable.

"I wonder if she could defeat Foresty Crawford..."

"She should be able to. Even Foresty Crawford was defeated by her in a frontal clash."

"Luis Lee’s strength isn’t much stronger than Foresty Crawford’s... It took him nearly twenty moves to defeat Foresty last time."

...

The group of youths under the stage discussed animatedly, their expectations for Jemma Clifford only increasing.

And the young man who was previously robbed of the wooden hut by Jemma Clifford and berated by her for his insolent remarks, now looked at Jemma with a face full of fear.

If he still harbored thoughts of vengeance before,

now, the thoughts of retaliation were completely dispelled by him.

"You want to challenge me?"

Luis Lee looked towards Jemma Clifford, as if seeking confirmation.

"Make your move."

Jemma Clifford nodded indifferently, her black whip in hand shaking like a venomous snake, giving off an eerie feeling... a feeling similar to the one when looking at Luis Lee.

"Good, very good."

Luis Lee’s face alternated between pale and flushed, his cold eyes brimming with viciousness. Despite having no confidence in defeating the woman before him, he was now in a position where he could not back down and not accept the challenge.

If he didn’t accept the challenge, it would mean admitting defeat.

That would undoubtedly be even more humiliating!

And he was not willing to accept that.

"I’m ready."

Luis Lee quickly spat out three words, and before Jemma Clifford was ready, he shot out like lightning, a chilling wind following in his wake. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Jemma Clifford.

"How shameless!"

Seeing Luis Lee’s sneak attack on Jemma Clifford, many people cursed under their breath. Of course, they only dared to curse in secret, not brave enough to provoke Luis Lee.

Luis Lee, ranked ’twelfth’ amongst the thirteen protectors.

Among the several dozen Martial Artists and Taoist Cultivators in Transcending Mortal Realm in the Hidden Dragon Camp, he was ranked ’seventh’... This alone was enough to show his strength was not something ordinary Transcending Mortal Realm Martial Artists could compare to.

However, faced with Luis Lee’s sudden attack, Jemma Clifford remained unmoved.

As Luis Lee appeared in front of her, a pair of steel claws appearing in his hands, exuding a bone-chilling coldness, he swiped toward her. Meanwhile, her black whip in hand suddenly flicked, spinning in front of her.

Instantly, wherever the whip passed, it formed a dark energy shield, enveloping her completely... It was a defensive technique from the Emperor Grade martial arts she practiced.

The appearance of the defense technique blocked Luis Lee’s attack.

Luis Lee’s pair of steel claws left a series of sparks upon it but failed to break through... which made his face extremely unsightly, and he had no choice but to retreat.

The sneak attack ended in failure.

After Luis Lee retreated, Jemma Clifford made her move and rushed straight at Luis Lee.

Luis Lee responded, but his speed was a few notches slower than Jemma’s... certainly much stronger than Foresty Crawford, who was defeated by Jemma just moments ago.

"This Luis Lee is going to lose."

Actually, as soon as Luis Lee’s attack was blocked by Jemma Clifford using a defensive technique, Wyatt Barnes knew there was no doubt he would be defeated... The defense technique blocked Luis Lee’s attack, and although it was a close call, it was still a blockade.

Blocking the opponent’s attack means standing on invincible ground.

Moreover, not only was Jemma Clifford’s defense strong, her movement and attacks were also formidable. Overall, she was a Martial Artist with balanced and strong comprehensive strength.

Just as Wyatt Barnes thought.

In less than ten moves, Jemma Clifford whipped Luis Lee away, defeating him.

Luis Lee was slightly injured.

At the very least, his injuries were less severe than Foresty Crawford’s.

"Jemma Clifford held back in her final move that defeated Luis Lee... otherwise, he could not possibly be so lightly wounded."

Many people noticed the subtlety.

"After all, she’s a woman... perhaps she softened up at the end."

Others made such remarks.

"Take a congenital Pill Medicine; your injuries should heal within a quarter of an hour... After fifteen minutes, you should be able to recover to your peak state."

While many people whispered among themselves, Jemma Clifford looked towards Luis Lee and spoke indifferently.

Luis Lee was taken aback, not understanding the purpose behind Jemma Clifford’s exposé of his injuries.

His injuries were indeed, just as Jemma Clifford said, treatable with a dose of congenital Pill Medicine followed by a quarter-hour’s rest for a complete recovery.

The congenital Pill Medicine Jemma Clifford mentioned was equivalent to the Emperor Grade Pill Medicine of the Cloud Skies Continent.

Above the congenital Pill Medicines were the Holy Grade Pill Medicines.

This was something Wyatt Barnes had learned from Julia a long time ago.

"For Luis Lee’s light injuries, it actually takes a quarter of an hour to heal even with something equivalent to Emperor Grade Pill Medicine... Is it because of the environment of Martial Dao Sacred Land, or because the potency of the congenital Pill Medicine is hard to assimilate into the body of a Martial Artist in the Transcending Mortal Realm?"

Wyatt Barnes also felt puzzled by this.

And as Jemma Clifford said, after taking the congenital Pill Medicine for a quarter of an hour, Luis Lee’s complexion recovered, and he seemed full of vitality again.

He walked towards wooden hut number thirteen with a grim face.

"I think... you don’t have to go inside."

Jemma Clifford said.

"What do you mean?"

Luis Lee’s face darkened; was this girl planning to humiliate him even after defeating him?

"What she means is... you’re about to be eliminated."

And just then, a calm voice rose from below the platform, and by the time it reached Luis Lee’s ears, the third person had appeared on the platform.

Wyatt Barnes stood on the platform, taking a deep breath and involuntarily showing a look of rapture.

While he could adapt to the environment below the platform, now that he was on the platform and could no longer smell the stench, he much preferred the environment above.

Whaa!!

The sight of Wyatt Barnes ascending to the platform took the audience by surprise.

"He means... he wants to challenge Luis Lee?"

Many people looked at Wyatt Barnes, slowly catching on.
