Chapter 362: Chapter 362: The Number One Person Below the Original Infant Realm

"Brother Willow, don’t listen to Wyatt Barnes, you should..."

Jaz Martinez’s face underwent a drastic change, somewhat panic-stricken, as he realized that Aya Willow appeared to be firm in her decision to have him join her on the ’Life and Death Stage’ to duel with Wyatt Barnes.

He knew his own limits.

He was no match for Wyatt Barnes!

If Wyatt Barnes wanted to kill him, one sword strike would suffice.

However, before Jaz Martinez could finish speaking, Aya Willow interrupted, "Jaz, rest assured, as long as Aya Willow is here, I guarantee that not a single hair on your head will be harmed!"

Aya Willow’s words brimmed with immense confidence, the confidence of a martial artist of the Original Infant Realm.

"What, don’t you trust me?"

Seeing that Jaz Martinez’s face was still pale and he gave no response for a long time, Aya Willow seemed humiliated and her face involuntarily darkened.

"Brother Willow, I..."

Jaz Martinez looked bitter. He wanted to tell Aya Willow that since Wyatt Barnes was asking him to fight on the ’Life and Death Stage’, he must be confident in his victory.

However, in the end, he didn’t utter the words, because he saw the determination in Aya Willow’s eyes.

He had known Aya Willow for a long time and was familiar with her character.

He knew that once Aya Willow made a decision, nobody could deter her, and there was no point in saying more.

"Rest assured. When I attacked Wyatt Barnes earlier, it was just to test his abilities, to see how far he’d advanced in the past year... Since he hasn’t reached the Original Infant Realm, naturally, I have nothing to fear."

At that moment, Aya Willow’s voice imbued with Origin Force entered Jaz Martinez’s ears, settling his heart.

As it turned out, Brother Willow’s earlier move was to probe Wyatt Barnes’ skills...

Seeing Aya Willow so confident, Jaz Martinez was a little less worried.

Suddenly,

Jaz Martinez looked at Wyatt Barnes and said in a frosty voice, "Wyatt Barnes, I can accept your conditions! I will join Brother Willow and climb the ’Life and Death Stage’ to fight you!"

Upon hearing Jaz Martinez’s words, Wyatt Barnes seemed taken aback, and a hint of surprise showed on his face.

As if he couldn’t believe that Jaz Martinez would agree to this condition.

However, his reaction, as seen by Aya Willow and Jaz Martinez, seemed to indicate his guilt, thus boosting their confidence.

"Jaz Martinez, who is as timid as... you dare to join me on the ’Life and Death Stage’, that’s quite unexpected."

Wyatt Barnes drew a deep breath and said solemnly.

"I hope you keep your word. Otherwise, Wyatt Barnes, you are destined to be known as a man without honor and will struggle to find a foothold within the Seven Stars Sword Clan."

Jaz Martinez sneered with a smug expression.

Seeing Wyatt Barnes behaving like this, he naturally thought that Wyatt Barnes had deliberately proposed the condition of allowing him to join the ’Life and Death Stage’ battle, expecting him to back down out of fear.

At that moment, Wyatt Barnes could reject Brother Willow’s challenge honorably.

At this moment, Jaz Martinez considered himself to be immensely clever.

"Hmph!"

Wyatt Barnes coldly scanned Jaz Martinez and muttered with his Origin Force resonating in Jaz Martinez’s ears, "Jaz Martinez, even if I lose to Aya Willow, I will kill you before she can attack me! Then, I’ll jump off the ’Life and Death Stage’. At that time, with Brother Sonny’s protection, Aya Willow won’t be able to kill me."

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Jaz Martinez’s expression flickered slightly, but he replied without missing a beat, "We’ll see if you can kill me first or if Brother Willow can kill you first."

Then, Jaz Martinez relayed Wyatt Barnes’s words to Aya Willow, causing her gaze to intensify.

"Jaz, rest assured. As long as I’m here, he won’t be able to kill you."

Aya Willow’s voice filled with Origin Force replied to Jaz Martinez, her tone brimming with confidence.

"I trust Brother Willow."

Jaz Martinez quickly responded.

Now, both Aya Willow and Jaz Martinez had no doubt about Wyatt Barnes’s acceptance of their challenge on the ’Life and Death Stage’.

Wyatt Barnes, was not actually confident.

He just wanted to exploit the situation.

Feigning to battle them on the ’Life and Death Stage’ was a bluff.

His true intention was to kill Jaz Martinez and then escape.

"Brother Wyatt Barnes, would you like to reconsider?"

Sonny Clark frowned, attempting to inhibit Wyatt Barnes further.

Sonny Clark’s act caused Aya Willow’s and Jaz Martinez’s expressions to falter somewhat. At this moment, they genuinely worried that Sonny Clark would thwart their plan.

"Brother Sonny, in one’s life, there are things one must do and things one mustn’t. Since I, Wyatt Barnes, have made this promise, I will honor my words."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, refusing Sonny Clark’s kindness.

A gasp could be heard all around.

"Is Wyatt Barnes really going to fight Aya Willow and Jaz Martinez on the ’Life and Death Stage’?"

"He’s gone mad!"

"A Ninth level Original Pill Realm wants to contend with a First level Original Infant Realm? He’s dreaming!"

...

All the observing disciples from the Inner Sect of the Seven Stars Sword Clan were not in favor of Wyatt Barnes.

"Let’s go, to the ’Life and Death Stage’!"

Aya Willow coldly glanced at Wyatt Barnes, called out to Jaz Martinez, and headed towards the other side of the peak.

The ’Life and Death Stage’ of the Seven Stars Sword Clan’s Primary Peak, Heavenly Pivot Peak, was located at the edge of this peak cliff, stood upright, and was filled with bloodstained bricks.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Upon reaching the ’Life and Death Stage’, both Aya Willow and Jaz Martinez moved swiftly, first to mount the stage.

At this time, Wyatt Barnes and Sonny Clark walked side by side, followed by a group of disciples from the Inner Sect, striding leisurely towards the ’Life and Death Stage’ in a majestic procession.

"Brother Wyatt Barnes, are you really sure?"

Although Wyatt Barnes’s Origin Force exuded a strong sense of confidence, Sonny Clark couldn’t help but worry.

He had always been grateful for Wyatt Barnes.

It was Wyatt Barnes who helped his father break through to the ’Enter Void Realm’!

Such a favor was monumental!

Difficult to repay.

"Brother Sonny, it’s not my first time on the Life and Death Stage of the Seven Stars Sword Clan. But those who have died on this stage have always been my opponents... Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."

Wyatt Barnes was as calm as a cloud, his composure unshaken even facing great adversity.

Sonny Clark nodded, refraining from saying anything more.

He chose to believe in Wyatt Barnes.

Looking at Wyatt Barnes’s past deeds, Wyatt Barnes was not an impulsive man.

No one had favored his chances every time he ascended the Life and Death Stage. Yet to everyone’s surprise, he had always managed to kill his opponents.

Wyatt Barnes had created too many miracles.

Regrettably, he had never been present to witness them...

But this time he finally had the opportunity.

He was really looking forward to it.

Soon, Wyatt Barnes arrived in front of the Life and Death Stage.

The area surrounding the stage was already packed with spectators.

Everyone on Heavenly Pivot Peak, whether they were inner sect disciples or elders, had gathered to watch the spectacle...

"What’s happening?"

Some of the recently arrived inner sect disciples couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Soon, with the explanations from the other disciples, they understood...

It turned out that Wyatt Barnes was going to fight both Aya Willow and Jaz Martinez on the Life and Death Stage.

He was taking on two opponents alone!

"Did Wyatt Barnes break through to the Original Infant Realm?"

This was their first thought after hearing the news, they couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

"No."

Some knowledgeable inner sect disciples shook their heads, "Wyatt Barnes hasn’t broken through to the Original Infant Realm, he’s just reached the ninth level of the Original Pill Realm... The reason he’s willing to go to the Life and Death Stage is probably because of Jaz Martinez."

"That’s right, his conflict with Brother Willow Aya essentially stems from Jaz Martinez, the main culprit. Perhaps, he’s looking to seize this opportunity to kill Jaz Martinez!"

...

"Kill Jaz Martinez?"

"With Brother Willow Aya there, it would be very difficult for him to kill Jaz Martinez."

"Indeed, it would be very difficult."

...

No matter how the group of inner sect disciples debated, the agreement for the duel on the Life Stage and Death Stage was already set in stone and couldn’t be changed.

On the Life and Death Stage, Aya Willow stood there, her disciple’s robe billowing in the wind, her deportment elegant and dashing.

Jaz Martinez, however, stood behind Aya Willow, as if he could only feel safe hiding behind her.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

With a ruthless, blood-lusting gaze, Aya Willow focused on Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes nodded at Sonny Clark, moved his shape into what seemed like a nimble serpent, and lightly landed on the Life and Death Stage to face off with Aya Willow.

"Jaz Martinez, do you intend to hide behind Aya Willow all the time?"

After stepping onto the Life and Death Stage, Wyatt Barnes did not look at Aya Willow; instead, he directed his gaze towards Jaz Martinez standing behind her, and asked gently.

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Jaz Martinez’s face fluctuated between white and green.

"Haha... This Jaz Martinez is truly a coward!"

"It’s not strange. Although Jaz Martinez had recently broken through to the ninth level of the Original Pill Realm, he is still not a match for Wyatt Barnes, who a year ago had the strength to disable Nolan Williams, a fellow disciple’s arm."

"That’s right, a year ago, Wyatt Barnes was only at level eight of the Original Pill Realm, yet he was able to disable the arm of a disciple at the ninth level... Now that he has advanced to the ninth level of the Original Pill Realm, he can sweep across all the warriors in the realm without any hindrance. He could be considered the ’First person below the Original Infant Realm’!"

...

At the edge of Life and Death Stage, a group of inner disciples teased Jaz Martinez while lavishing high praise on Wyatt Barnes.

"It’s a pity, though, that Wyatt Barnes is still too impulsive."

"Yes, indeed. If he had waited another two years, he might have surpassed Brother Willow Aya."

"He’s too impatient."

...

Soon, some of the inner disciples couldn’t help sighing in pity for Wyatt Barnes.

To their minds, even if Wyatt Barnes managed to kill Jaz Martinez today, his chances of survival were slim.

After all, besides Jaz Martinez, Wyatt Barnes had to face ’Aya Willow,’ an inner sect disciple who was in the Original Infant Realm.

Seeing Wyatt Barnes ascending the Life and Death Stage, a cold smile crept across Aya Willow’s face, "Wyatt Barnes, you’ve got guts. I didn’t expect you to have the courage to climb the Life and Death Stage... Today, I, Aya Willow, will send you on your way!"

Wyatt Barnes casually glanced at Aya Willow, not paying him any further mind, instead focusing on Jaz Martinez standing behind Aya Willow.

To the onlookers, it seemed that Wyatt Barnes’s target was not Aya Willow, but Jaz Martinez!

Feeling Wyatt Barnes’s intense gaze, Jaz Martinez’s face changed, and he felt a wave of pressure surge.

In front of Wyatt Barnes, also at the ninth level of the Original Pill Realm, he felt like all his cultivation was inconsequential.

"Jaz Martinez, on that day, out of respect for Elder Cain Wright, I was willing to bury the hatchet... It’s a pity you didn’t appreciate it. Today, I won’t show any mercy."

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes radiated an icy coldness, and his words were laced with bone-chilling frost.
