Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1408: The Death of Gideon Cruz

Chapter 1408: Chapter 1408: The Death of Gideon Cruz

After giving Jan Clark a deep look, Wyatt Barnes continued to walk downward, leaving the Hall of Merit.

During this process, Jemma Clifford turned her head to look at Jan Clark’s back, showing a trace of pity in her eyes.

Even ’Ingot Gold’, who ranks third among the thirteen protectors, must address Wyatt Barnes as ’senior brother’... And yet, Jan Clark dares to provoke Wyatt?

She couldn’t help but admire Jan Clark’s courage.

Of course, she did not remind Jan Clark.

She held no favorable opinion of Jan Clark.

After leaving the Hall of Merit, Wyatt Barnes and Jemma Clifford returned to their secret camp but did not hurry back to their wooden hut; instead, they stood in front of the wooden hut as if waiting for something.

The movements of the two quickly drew the attention of many.

"What are Wyatt Barnes and Jemma Clifford doing?"

"I don’t know."

"They must have just come back from the Hall of Merit... surely they must have exchanged for quite a few items. Shouldn’t they be going back to their wooden hut to check the items now?"

...

The members of the secret camp in the decrepit wooden huts area looked puzzled.

It wasn’t until a quarter of an hour later, as a voice came from the entrance of the secret camp, that they finally reacted.

"Wyatt Barnes, you really have the guts!"

After Jan Clark entered the secret camp, he sneered and then leapt up, climbing onto the high platform to confront Wyatt Barnes.

Battling intent surged over him.

However, Wyatt Barnes did not respond to him, just looking at him calmly.

Jemma Clifford retreated to one side, watching the two confronting each other with a serene expression.

"I wondered who Wyatt Barnes was waiting for, it turns out he was waiting for Jan Clark... When did these two start clashing?"

Many were astonished.

However, many more were excited, waiting to see the drama unfold.

"Wyatt Barnes, I will soon let you see... with your strength, in my eyes, Jan Clark, you truly amount to nothing! Don’t think that by defeating a few who have just broken through to the late stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm, you can dismiss all those at the late stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm."

Seeing that Wyatt Barnes did not acknowledge him, Jan Clark’s expression completely darkened.

"Other late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm fighters I do not know... but you, Jan Clark, I really have never taken seriously."

Wyatt Barnes finally spoke with a calm tone, as if discussing an irrelevant matter.

Once Wyatt Barnes spoke, everyone was in an uproar.

Except for Jemma Clifford who knew that what Wyatt Barnes said was the ’truth’, others thought Wyatt Barnes was being too arrogant.

"This Wyatt Barnes, isn’t he too arrogant?"

"Jan Clark, whose cultivation has long broken through to the late stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm, is far stronger than those like Foresty Crawford and Fenny Graham who have just broken through... If he thinks Jan Clark is as easy to handle as Foresty and Fenny, then he’s terribly wrong!"

"I want to see how he makes a fool of himself shortly."

...

The members of the secret camp in the decrepit wooden hut area were all talking, with over ninety percent of them not optimistic about Wyatt Barnes.

"Edward Watson, I know you get along well with Wyatt Barnes... but, facing my cousin Jan Clark today, he’s bound to suffer. I suggest you go back to your wooden hut to avoid seeing him get hurt and feel unhappy," said Gideon Cruz, tauntingly, appearing suddenly in front of Edward Watson’s decrepit wooden hut.

"Who wins and who loses is still uncertain."

Edward Watson sneered coldly.

He knew Wyatt Barnes’s strength all too well.

Not to mention, just three days ago during the test set by the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, if it weren’t for him and Jemma Clifford holding him back, Wyatt’s score would definitely have been ’first’.

That’s why he had confidence in Wyatt Barnes.

He believed that Jan Clark was no match for Wyatt Barnes.

"What? You don’t think Wyatt Barnes can defeat my cousin Jan Clark, do you?"

Gideon Cruz laughed, his laughter dripping with sarcasm.

"Other late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm fighters I do not know... but you, Jan Clark, I really have never taken seriously."

Above the high platform, the words of Wyatt Barnes echoed continuously in Jan Clark’s ears, his body trembling severely due to extreme anger.

His eyes turned blood-red, his rage building up, nearly reaching the point of collapse.

Finally, the rage filled to the brim, completely collapsing.

"Wyatt Barnes, I’ll let everyone see now... how I, the person you don’t take seriously, will throw you into the dung pit!"

In a fit of extreme rage, Jan Clark roared, his whole body turning into a swift leopard, lunging at Wyatt Barnes.

Where he passed, the air seemed to be completely sucked out.

The onlooking crowd paused their breathing, watching the scene unfold before them intently.

But the next moment’s scene left them all stunned.

Heaven!

What did they see?!

Bang!!

A loud noise came from the high platform, followed by a painful grunt.

Soon after, everyone saw, with just one clash, Jan Clark’s body flew backward like an arrow released from a bow, flying out of the high platform.

For a moment, Jan Clark uncontrollably soared above the dung pit.

Just as he was about to fly over the dung pit, landing in the decrepit wooden hut area... in that instant, a purple figure suddenly appeared by Jan Clark’s side.

Bang!!

Another loud noise, and except for Jemma Clifford, no one could see clearly what happened; abruptly, Jan Clark’s body plummeted downward.

As the purple figure disappeared, Jan Clark’s body heavily smashed into the dung pit, splashing a mess of yellow and white substances.

Instantly, members of the Hidden Dragon Camp near the cesspool retreated one after another.

"This..."

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the scene before them, unable to come to their senses for a long while.

"Did Jan Clark faint like Foresty Crawford did last time?"

After waiting for a while, seeing Jan Clark lying in the cesspool motionless, many people wore a peculiar expression on their faces.

Even more people were horror-stricken as they watched the purple figure on the platform.

"Wyatt Barnes’ strength has actually become so formidable?"

"Could it be that he has already broken through to the latter stages of the Transcending Mortal Realm, equal in strength to warriors at the Small Perfection of Transcending Mortal Realm?"

...

The news of Wyatt Barnes defeating Foresty Crawford and Fenny Graham when he was only at the middle stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm had long spread throughout the Hidden Dragon Camp, and all the members knew that Wyatt Barnes had the ability to defeat stronger opponents.

Now, having seen Wyatt Barnes send Jan Clark flying with one strike and knock him out with the second, they all thought that Wyatt had broken through to the later stages of the Transcending Mortal Realm, possessing the strength not inferior to a normal warrior at the Small Perfection of Transcending Mortal Realm.

After all, unlike Foresty Crawford and Fenny Graham, Jan Clark had already broken through to the latter stages of the Transcending Mortal Realm long ago.

If there were anyone present who was not surprised by this outcome, it would be only three people.

Jemma Clifford, Edward Watson, and Guardian Harvey, who was unknowingly standing on the pavilion.

"This Wyatt Barnes, really knows no mercy when he’s right,"

Guardian Harvey shook his head, "But Jan Clark is truly asking for trouble. Of all people, he had to provoke this calamity."

"Cousin Jan Clark!"

Gideon Cruz came to his senses and cried out with an ugly look, then immediately leaped forward to fish Jan Clark out of the cesspool.

"Pfft!!"

Just as Gideon Cruz placed Jan Clark on the ground, there was movement, and from his mouth, a mix of yellow and white substance spurted out, hitting Gideon Cruz in the face.

"Ugh..."

Instantly, Gideon Cruz felt nauseous and vomited right on Jan Clark’s face.

Just regaining some consciousness and realizing he had fallen into the cesspool, Jan Clark was filled with fury with nowhere to vent it.

Now, having Gideon Cruz spray his face with filth, he changed color and reflexively slapped out, ’bang’ sending Gideon Cruz flying away.

Bang!

Gideon Cruz flew far away, crashing heavily into the ground, blood continually seeping from the corners of his mouth, completely silent.

Whew!

Just as everyone felt Gideon Cruz was innocent, a figure suddenly appeared beside Gideon Cruz, checked his breathing, and his expression drastically changed.

"What is Guardian Harvey doing..."

Seeing this scene, many people felt a chill in their hearts.

"Jan Clark, you actually killed Gideon Cruz."

Guardian Harvey looked towards Jan Clark with a grim face and said coldly.

"Gideon Cruz is dead?"

At this moment, Jan Clark also fully regained consciousness, his face changing drastically upon hearing Guardian Harvey’s words.

The reason for his shock was not because Gideon Cruz was his distant cousin.

But because of the rules and laws of the Hidden Dragon Camp.

The Hidden Dragon Camp has regulations; members should not kill each other or cause debilitating harm... otherwise, they will be punished.

Murderers will be subjected to severe punishment and will be expelled from the Hidden Dragon Camp, banished from the City Lord’s Mansion!

Before the others could even react, Guardian Harvey grabbed the corpse of Gideon Cruz and swiftly flew in front of Jan Clark, and with his other hand, picked up Jan Clark like an eagle seizing a chick.

"Jan Clark, having killed a fellow member of the Hidden Dragon Camp, your crime is heinous. You are to be sent to the ’Punishment Camp’ immediately!"

Guardian Harvey left, taking with him the body of Gideon Cruz and Jan Clark.

After a moment, the people in the Hidden Dragon Camp finally came back to their senses.

"Gideon Cruz... actually died?"

"Gideon Cruz, looks like he was Jan Clark’s distant cousin... Jan Clark is really ruthless, to be able to do such a thing."

"At that time, he probably didn’t even realize it."

"The strength of Gideon Cruz is far inferior to his... How could he withstand a palm strike from him."

...

A group of Hidden Dragon Camp members chattered amongst themselves.

They all knew that this time, Jan Clark was in trouble.

"The Hidden Dragon Camp has rules; anyone who kills a fellow member will be subject to severe punishment and will be expelled from the Hidden Dragon Camp, banished from the City Lord’s Mansion... What do you think, will Jan Clark really be expelled from the Hidden Dragon Camp, banished from the City Lord’s Mansion?"

"He probably will."

"I don’t think it’s necessarily so... Jan Clark, no matter what, is a figure among the thirteen protectors, with extraordinary talent and strength. He should not just be expelled from the Hidden Dragon Camp, banished from the City Lord’s Mansion like this."

"If they don’t expel Jan Clark, wouldn’t the rules and laws of the Hidden Dragon Camp be in vain? Who would abide by them in the future?"

...

The members of the Hidden Dragon Camp, split into two groups, began to argue.

For a moment, not many people paid attention to Wyatt Barnes.

The scene just now, even Wyatt Barnes himself, did not expect it.

"One reaps what one sows!"

Jemma Clifford snorted.

Hearing Jemma Clifford’s words, the corners of Wyatt’s lips twitched unknowingly.

They say women hold grudges, and today he really experienced it.
