Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 280 Lingering Shadows

Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Lingering Shadows

"Puff!"

Ultimately, Woody Dunn’s qi and blood roiled, and he was so enraged by Wyatt Barnes and a group of disciples from Heavenly Authority Peak that he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

The blood splattered on the ground, glaring and dazzling.

On seeing this, all the disciples of Heavenly Authority Peak, including Wyatt Barnes, were startled.

"Elder Dunn, we didn’t deceive you, we truly..."

A disciple from Heavenly Authority Peak looked at Woody Dunn like a sluggish adolescent. However, before he could finish his words, he noticed Woody Dunn’s fierce gaze sweeping over him, prompting him to promptly shut his mouth.

"You... well done! I will come to find you again."

Woody Dunn took a deep breath, gave Wyatt Barnes a cold look, and left.

The disciples from Heavenly Authority Peak who had been gathered around parted to make way for him.

After Woody Dunn left, a group of disciples from Heavenly Authority Peak looked at Wyatt Barnes with a pitying look. "Brother, it appears that Elder Dunn won’t let you off the hook so easily... Take care."

"Brother, you can only rely on yourself now, we can’t help you."

"Brother, in your next life, don’t have such fair skin... Even women would probably be jealous of your complexion."

"Maybe because of this, you attracted the attention of Elder Dunn."

...

One disciple after another from Heavenly Authority Peak spoke to Wyatt Barnes.

Seeing Wyatt Barnes stand there like a startled chicken, with no reaction, they shook their heads and left.

"Looks like, he’s been scared silly by Elder Dunn."

"I’m not sure whether he’s unlucky or lucky, with so many disciples in Heavenly Authority Peak, Elder Dunn just had to take a liking to him."

"That’s why they say, men shouldn’t be too fair, otherwise it’ll attract the attention of people like Elder Dunn."

...

As these disciples from Heavenly Authority Peak left, they couldn’t help but lament.

Finally, Wyatt Barnes snapped back to reality.

The way Woody Dunn looked at him before leaving indicated that things might not be so simple...

"Could it be that he doesn’t have those preferences? Did I misunderstand him?"

Wyatt Barnes could tell that when Woody Dunn spat out blood in anger, the cold gaze in his eyes wasn’t that of someone throwing a tantrum.

Woody Dunn’s behavior afterward also didn’t resemble a person with those preferences.

"But if he doesn’t have those preferences, why did he look at me with such a ’greedy’ gaze?"

Wyatt Barnes was filled with confusion. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand.

"However, this time, I’ve thoroughly offended that Woody Dunn."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he didn’t take it to heart.

That Woody Dunn, after all, was an outer-sect elder of Heavenly Authority Peak. With the rules of the Seven Stars Sword Clan in place, he probably wouldn’t dare to punish him privately in public.

Taking a breath of relief, Wyatt Barnes set off towards Giovanni Stone’s cave.

Thinking of that Woody Dunn, Wyatt Barnes felt a bit uncomfortable. After observing his surroundings for a while, he gritted his teeth and headed towards the crowded places.

After a short while, he had walked most of the way around Heavenly Authority Peak following groups of people.

It took him a whole half hour.

"My spiritual force isn’t strong enough to sense a Peep Naught Realm warrior. Even if a Peep Naught Realm warrior is following me, I wouldn’t have any idea... However, even a Peep Naught Realm warrior wouldn’t find it so easy to follow me!"

Wyatt Barnes was confident that with all the time he spent wandering around in the last half hour, even if Woody Dunn was really tracking him, he must have shaken him off.

As the ’King among Weapon Kings’ from his previous life on Earth, Wyatt Barnes had this self-confidence.

Soon, Wyatt Barnes confidently found a small path leading to the peak of Heavenly Authority Peak.

That Woody Dunn, if he was really following him, probably wouldn’t expect that his place of residence and cultivation was on the ’peak’ of Heavenly Authority Peak.

When Wyatt Barnes arrived at the peak.

Halfway up Heavenly Authority Peak, Woody Dunn was standing, his face dark and unpleasant, "That kid, he managed to get rid of me... Did he notice me?"

Thinking about how Wyatt Barnes had chosen crowded places all the way, he felt somewhat suspicious.

Now that Wyatt Barnes had slipped away under his eyes and gotten rid of him, his suspicions grew even deeper.

"That kid, at best, is only an Original Pill Realm warrior... There’s no way he can shake me off! He must’ve just been lucky."

Woody Dunn took a deep breath, resolute in his thoughts.

No matter what, he couldn’t believe that a young man around twenty could shake him off.

He was a Peep Naught Realm level warrior!

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes had returned to the cave in the cliff face. Looking at the two small pythons still fast asleep, Wyatt Barnes shook his head with a wry smile.

Following which, he sat on the stone platform and began cultivating.

Nine Dragons War Sovereign, Flood Python Transformation!

During his cultivation, using the memory of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor, Wyatt Barnes discovered something.

It turned out that the ’Trembling Power’ granted by the third variation of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign, ’Flood Python Transformation’, could be enhanced...

When one reached the fourth level of the Original Pill Realm, they could only imbue their internal Origin Force with ’Trembling Power’.

With the subsequent increase in cultivation, the ’Trembling Power’ would subsequently improve.

"At present, I am merely at the fourth level of the Original Pill Realm, if the Trembling Power is so terrifying....if I continue to advance, wouldn’t the Trembling Power become even more against nature?"

Wyatt Barnes opened his eyes, a sudden glint in his gaze, his face full of joy and anticipation.

The power of Trembling Power, he’d deeply experienced in the primitive forest today, was absolutely against nature.

Origin Pill Realm level four’s ’Elephant Rhino’, originally he, with the cultivation of Origin Pill Realm level three, relying on the eighth-grade spirit sword, couldn’t pierce its flesh...

But when he used the Trembling Power, his seventh-grade spirit sword pierced into the skull of the ’Elephant Rhino’ like breaking a decayed tree, shattering the skull and killing the ’Elephant Rhino’!

Trembling Power, it was an extremely domineering way of exerting power!

Beyond martial techniques.

Also, the ’wounded leopard’ at the sixth level of the Original Pill Realm was directly killed by him as if cutting tofu...

Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes trained even harder.

"With my current ’exceptional talent’, and using the ’Strong Origin Pill’ with a purity of over 90%, I will definitely break through to the fifth level of the Original Pill Realm within three months!"

Wyatt Barnes was full of confidence in his current self.

Ever since he consumed the ’milky liquid’ from the ten-thousand-year-old Giovanni Stone, his talent had become incomparably superior!

Cultivate!

Wyatt Barnes closed his eyes again and began practicing painstakingly.

He continued to cultivate until the next day when he woke up from hunger...

After hastily roasting and eating a piglet, Wyatt Barnes left Giovanni Stone Cave and the mountaintop, preparing to go to the ’Exchange Hall’ on Heavenly Authority Peak, which is the big building behind the drawbridge.

Yesterday when they came out of the primitive forest, he had divided the spoils with Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz evenly.

Originally, Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz wanted to give him the core pills of ’Wounded Leopard’ and ’Elephant Rhino’, but he refused as it would not be considered splitting evenly.

In the end, he only took the core pill of the ’Wounded Leopard’.

Now, he was planning to go to the Exchange Hall, to exchange the core pill of the ’Wounded Leopard’ with some resources.

The materials he needed were the ones required for the ’Burning Flame Inscriptions’.

Burning Flame Inscriptions, an attack inscription capable of eliminating the ’Half-step Void Realm’ powerhouses!

The main material for Burning Flame Inscriptions was ’Silver Separation Grass’ which he had attained during an auction in Blackwind City’s Marston Family Auction House on his way to the Seven Stars Sword Clan.

Although he had prepared some of the other materials required, one of them was inadequate.

In order to inscribe ’Burning Flame Inscriptions’, that material must be sufficient.

Therefore, he thought of the ’Exchange Hall’ on Heavenly Authority Peak.

In the Exchange Hall, besides Heavenly Authority Peak disciples trading materials with the Medicine Elder and Artifact Elder of the Heavenly Authority Peak to get Pill Medicine and Spirit Treasures... the disciples of Heavenly Authority peak often conduct private dealings among themselves too.

The ’Wounded Leopard’s’ core pill was not luxurious, but was nonetheless rare.

As for the material Wyatt Barnes needed, although it was rare, it didn’t have much use for alchemists or Artifact Refiners.

Therefore, Wyatt Barnes successfully exchanged it in only half an hour.

Trading a material that he had no use for, in exchange for the ’Wounded Leopard’s’ core pill from Wyatt Barnes, the Heavenly Authority Peak disciple’s face blossomed into a smile.

A smile also appeared on Wyatt Barnes’ face.

He could finally inscribe the ’Burning Flame Inscriptions’!

Just as Wyatt Barnes was rushing to get back and inscribe the ’Burning Flame Inscriptions’, he ran into Woody Dunn again, "this guy sure knows how to stick around!"

Woody Dunn stood in his path, his gaze fixed on him.

"Elder Woody Dunn, what can I do for you?"

Wyatt Barnes didn’t avoid him either, he walked straight over and asked with a frown.

Right now, he could almost confirm that Woody Dunn didn’t have those particular hobbies...

Still, why did Woody Dunn keep bothering him?

This was something he couldn’t understand.

Therefore, he desperately wanted to know the reason now.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Woody Dunn looked at Wyatt Barnes, his face filled with gloom, thinking of what happened yesterday, he couldn’t restrain a trace of chilling murderous intent in his eyes...

Yesterday’s matter had now spread throughout Heavenly Authority Peak.

Wherever he went on Heavenly Authority Peak now, he could feel strange eyes looking at him.

He believed, if this trend continued, it wouldn’t be long before everyone in the Seven Stars Sword Clan would think that he indeed had ’those’ kind of hobbies...

His reputation had been utterly ruined!

And the root of all this was the youth standing in front of him now, an ordinary disciple of Heavenly Authority Peak.

He had made up his mind in his heart.

Once the goal was achieved, after obtaining what he wanted, he must find a way to kill this disciple of Heavenly Authority Peak, to take out his resentment!

"Hmm?"

Wyatt Barnes, having lived through two lifetimes, the former life being the ’Weapon King’ who came out of a rain of bullets and Blood Sea, naturally sensed the murderous intent in Woody Dunn’s eyes.

In an instant, his face became stern, "Elder Woody Dunn, if you’ve something to say, just say it."

Woody Dunn took a deep breath, his sharp gaze fell on Wyatt Barnes, he said in a deep voice: "I can let go of yesterday’s matter...but, you must pay a price for it! My request is not high, just hand over the ’Milky Liquid’ of the ten-thousand-year-old Giovanni Stone!"
