Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1401: Epilogue

Chapter 1401: Chapter 1401: Epilogue

Amidst the thunder and lightning, the bandit, in a timely manner, spotted the arrow shot by Wyatt Barnes, ducked his head, and tumbled awkwardly to the ground.

However, he barely dodged Wyatt Barnes’ True Energy arrow.

In the air, a few strands of long hair floated down.

"Late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm!"

Seeing the bandit evade the arrow, Wyatt Barnes was not disappointed but instead, his eyes brightened.

In an instant, he shot out another arrow.

His body followed the trajectory of the arrow!

Wyatt Barnes leapt up, following the arrow and before blink of an eye, landed steadily in front of the bandit who had just awkwardly got up from his roll, standing before him.

At this moment, the bandit also noticed Wyatt Barnes; his face changed color dramatically, "Was it you who shot the stealthy arrow just now?"

"Late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm, 7 merit points."

Wyatt Barnes looked at the bandit with eyes like a hunter who had just spotted his prey, twinkling like two bright stars in the night sky.

"Boy, you dare to ignore me! You’re courting death!"

Being at the late-stage of Transcending Mortal Realm, the bandit had an arrogance extraordinaire, and upon seeing Wyatt Barnes ignoring him, rage surged within him.

Bang!!

He stamped his legs on the ground, cracking the earth beneath him, then charged towards Wyatt Barnes like a cannonball.

In his hand, a large saber appeared.

The True Energy on the saber surged wildly, and its aura expanded, transforming it into a massive saber several feet long, aiming to split Wyatt Barnes in half as it thundered down upon his head.

"Die!"

As the saber fell, the bandit grinned ferociously, as if he had already seen the scene of the young man in purple being cleaved into two in front of him.

Confronted with the bandit’s saber, Wyatt Barnes remained composed.

His body followed the trajectory of the arrow!

Another arrow shot forth, and Wyatt Barnes, stepping on the arrow, barely dodged the bandit’s cleaving saber, reaching a spot just to the side of the bandit in an instant.

Meteor Arrow Rain!

With a raise of his hand, Wyatt Barnes fired off an arrow.

The bandit’s face changed dramatically as he realized the situation, and he looked up to see a rain of arrows, whistling down from the sky with tremendous momentum, like a meteor shower pouring down.

Faced with the relentless torrent of arrows falling from the sky, the bandit didn’t dare to slack off, swiftly swinging the saber in his hand to block every arrow in the relentless barrage.

Meteor Strike!

Just as the bandit was resisting the rain of arrows and attempting to flee, Wyatt Barnes made his move again.

Whoosh!

A single arrow penetrated the bandit’s forehead, killing him.

To a Martial Artist in the late-stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm who was not at the peak, they were like weaklings before Wyatt Barnes, barely worth mentioning.

"Wyatt Barnes, that bandit actually dodged your arrow just now."

At this moment, Edward Watson, who had caught up, spoke with some surprise.

To know, along the way, the bandits they encountered were almost invariably killed by Wyatt Barnes with a single arrow... and now, this was the first bandit to dodge an arrow shot by Wyatt Barnes.

"He is a Martial Artist of the late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm."

Wyatt Barnes grinned.

"Late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm!"

Suddenly, whether it was Edward Watson or Jemma Clifford who had also caught up, their eyes lit up.

This was the first late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm bandit they had encountered.

"If we include this one, it looks like we have 39 merit points."

Edward Watson said excitedly, even if the points were divided among the three of them, he still could get 13 merit points... and 13 merit points, when converted into the Main Mansion’s ’merit points’ of Hill Mountain City, that would be 1300 points.

"Continue."

Wyatt Barnes leaped into the air once more, traveling from tree to tree, his ’Mysterious Eye’ in his left socket always slowly rotating.

Of course, the rotation was slow.

Otherwise, his mental strength could not keep up.

Because of ’conserving’ energy, until now, Wyatt Barnes had only used up one-fifth of his mental strength, leaving four-fifth to squander at will.

Where Wyatt Barnes and his companions passed, it was as if they were reaping the lives of bandits.

Of course, the one acting was always Wyatt Barnes.

"I really don’t understand why Wyatt Barnes needs to cooperate with others... along the way, the other two haven’t made a move at all."

Hidden in the shadows, a silver-armored middle-aged man trailing behind the trio of Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help shaking his head.

"People say ’It is better to die under the flowers than to be a ghost in loneliness’... This Wyatt Barnes, for the sake of a woman, has made such a choice; it’s truly speechless."

Another silver-armored middle-aged man also shook his head.

Clearly, they thought that Wyatt Barnes, smitten by Jemma Clifford’s beauty, hence cooperated and helped her.

"Indeed. If it weren’t for this woman, our City Lord’s challenge today, the ’first place’, would undoubtedly be his."

The former spoke again, implying ’women are the root of trouble.’

From the beginning to the end, they could see it was not Wyatt Barnes and Jemma Clifford carrying an ’encumbrance’, but rather Wyatt Barnes alone carrying two ’burdens.’

"However, his eyesight is really astonishing... we hadn’t even noticed someone ahead, but his arrow had already shot out. Except for that bandit in the late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm, all the other bandits were killed by his arrow."

"Indeed, even I cannot achieve that! His eyes, they simply don’t seem human... How can human eyes see that far."

...

The two middle-aged men in silver armor who were hidden in the dark, recording the accomplishments of Wyatt Barnes and his companions as well as protecting them, were discussing through the transmission of True Energy.

From the beginning until now, they had all realized that Wyatt Barnes’ "eyesight" far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Perhaps their strength exceeds that of Wyatt Barnes.

But when it comes to eyesight, they are often inferior.

Just as Wyatt Barnes was sweeping through the ranks, in various other directions, figures dashed at speeds not slower than Wyatt’s, heading toward the deep valley.

Ranked second amongst the Thirteen Protectors, ’Baer Bear’ led the charge.

Following closely behind was ’Ingot Gold’, ranked third.

Subsequently came ’Arthur Davidson’, ranked fourth, and ’Jan Clark’, ranked fifth.

Along the way, they encountered a few Transcending Mortal Realm late-stage bandits, as well as a large number of early and mid-stage ones, and they also scored quite a few merit points.

However, both Arthur Davidson and Jan Clark, despite each killing a late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm bandit, also sustained serious injuries.

"People from Hill Mountain City’s Main Mansion are nothing special!"

Accompanied by a mocking laugh, a figure flew backwards with a ’bang’, crashing heavily into the ground, spitting blood messily from his mouth.

As he watched the late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm bandit advancing with murderous intent, step by step, Fenny Graham’s expression was extremely unsightly.

"Wyatt Barnes... it’s all because of you! If it weren’t for you, even if I couldn’t beat him, I could have at least fought to a draw!"

Confronted with the bandit who wanted to kill him, Fenny Graham gritted his teeth in rage, but the person he truly resented at the moment was not the bandit before him, but Wyatt Barnes.

In his view.

If it weren’t for Wyatt Barnes seriously injuring him the day before yesterday, forcing him to take on today’s trial with an injured body, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a dire situation.

Just as the bandit was about to kill Fenny Graham, a silver figure appeared.

"One of the thirty-six personal guards of the City Lord’s Main Mansion of Hill Mountain City!"

Seeing the young man in silver armor, the bandit’s expression changed dramatically and he hurriedly turned to flee.

All he could think of now was one thing.

Flee!

To escape far away!

But could he really escape?

The silver-armored youth disappeared from his original spot and when he reappeared, he was already blocking the bandit’s path. Before the bandit could even beg for mercy, he was slain.

The whole process was smooth as flowing clouds and water.

"You’re eliminated."

After killing the bandit, the silver-armored youth gave Fenny Graham a cursory glance and said so.

Fenny Graham, with a gloomy face, stood up, turned around, and walked back the way he came...

He knew he was doomed not to become the disciple of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

"12 merit points..."

Thinking of the merit points he earned, Fenny Graham’s mood grew even gloomier.

And while Fenny Graham was being eliminated.

In another place, Foresty Crawford was also seriously injured by a late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm bandit. Fortunately, he was saved by one of the thirty-six personal guards, although he was subsequently eliminated as well.

When Fenny Graham and Foresty Crawford walked out of the valley, they discovered that four people had been eliminated before them... these four were the least ranked among the Thirteen Protectors.

However, these four were merely mid-stage Transcending Mortal Realm Martial Artists.

Realizing this, the look on both their faces turned somewhat ugly.

"Damn it! Wyatt Barnes hasn’t come out yet..."

Seeing that Wyatt Barnes hadn’t been eliminated, they couldn’t help feeling annoyed.

While they greatly wished for Wyatt Barnes to die inside, they knew that with the safeguard of members of the thirty-six personal guards, it was impossible for Wyatt Barnes to die there... Now, they could only hope that Wyatt would be eliminated sooner.

Regrettably, they were destined to be disappointed.

Just as Wyatt Barnes and his two companions were nearly at the end of the valley, the other four also reached the end of the valley and saw each other.

"Wyatt Barnes! Jemma Clifford!"

Four pairs of eyes simultaneously fixed on Wyatt Barnes and Jemma Clifford, while Edward Watson, who stood beside them, was outright ignored.

"Wyatt Barnes, I didn’t expect you to be so lucky to have made it this far... I thought you had already been eliminated midway."

Jan Clark said mockingly with a sneer on his face.

"My luck has always been good; nothing surprising about that," Wyatt Barnes cast a glance at Jan Clark, "On the contrary, it truly surprises me that you made it this far."

"Hmph!"

Jan Clark huffed, turning his attention to Jemma Clifford by Wyatt’s side, "Jemma, you should have cooperated with me... Working with Wyatt Barnes along the way, you probably didn’t earn many merit points, did you?"

As he finished speaking, Jan Clark’s face showed a mocking smile directed at Wyatt Barnes.

Hearing Jan Clark’s words, Wyatt Barnes did not respond.

But Edward Watson, who was following beside Wyatt Barnes and Jemma Clifford, almost burst out laughing... Working with Wyatt Barnes and not getting many merit points?

"Hahaha..."

Just as Jemma Clifford’s expression turned grave, about to say something, a wild laughter emerged from deep within the valley, drawing closer and closer.

Shortly after, a figure appeared before Wyatt Barnes and the others.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in a grey robe with several knife scars on his face, giving him a ferocious appearance.

"Being able to come here shows your strength is not bad... Regrettably, you are destined to die here today!"

The newcomer scanned Wyatt Barnes and his party unabashedly.
