Chapter 371: The Demon Beast ‘Peter Black’

Chapter 371: Chapter 371: The Demon Beast ‘Peter Black’

"On purpose?"

Facing the hysteria of Nolan Williams, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but laugh, "You’re saying that I deliberately wanted to harm Peak Master Wade Williams?"

"Yes, it was you who killed my adoptive father!"

Nolan Williams’ eyes were bloodshot, filled with a murderous intent that seemed ready to consume anyone in its path.

Glancing at Nolan Williams as if he were a fool, Wyatt Barnes turned to Zeke Foxsong, "Sect Leader, the characteristics of the spiritual fruit I described to Peak Master Wade Williams were indeed the same as the spiritual fruit I had taken before... But the fruit that Wade Williams found was, in my estimation, merely similar to the one I had consumed."

"However, I am puzzled as to why, even I know to probe a spiritual fruit with a silver needle to test for poison before daring to consume it... Did Wade Williams take the fruit he obtained without testing it first?"

There was a sense of doubt in Wyatt Barnes’ tone.

"Wade Williams did test the spiritual fruit."

At this moment, a white-haired, kindly-looking old man stepped forward from the group of Seven Stars Sword Clan’s high-ranking members. After smiling and nodding at Wyatt Barnes, he said, "Wade Williams tested the fruit he got with a silver needle and found no toxicity... Then, still not reassured, he asked me and a few other senior alchemists to help."

Upon saying this, the old man paused for a moment before continuing, "However, according to our tests, that spiritual fruit indeed had no toxicity! Now it appears that the ’poison’ within that fruit was extremely hidden and impossible to detect... I, Zachary Stevens, am seeing such a fruit for the first time in my life."

Upon saying this, the old man let out a sigh.

Zachary Stevens!

Wyatt Barnes’ eyes narrowed.

To his knowledge, the only Sixth-Order alchemist in the Seven Stars Sword Clan was named ’Zachary Stevens’.

He also controlled the ’Pill Alchemy Hall’ as the Alchemy Leader.

Hisss! Hisss! Hisss! Hisss! Hisss!

...

A series of in-drawn breaths echoed throughout, creating a somewhat stifling atmosphere upon Heavenly Pivot Peak.

"Even Elder Zachary Stevens couldn’t detect the poison in that spiritual fruit?"

"The Peak Master of Heavenly Authority Peak, really has some luck..."

"From now on, even if we get some spiritual fruit, we can’t just eat it directly. It is better to cut out a small piece and let the Fierce Beasts consume it first, if the Fierce Beasts don’t die, then we will consume it."

"If Peak Master Wade Williams knew how to test the poison in this way, he wouldn’t have died of poisoning."

"Perhaps, even Wade Williams himself never thought that the poison in that fruit was impossible to detect by conventional means."

...

Unable to hold back their exclamations, the disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan all felt that Wade Williams’ death was injustice.

"Wyatt Barnes, you must have recognized that kind of spiritual fruit, so you purposely let my master go find it, right?"

Nolan Williams glared fixedly at Wyatt Barnes, asking harshly.

"Fool!"

Wyatt Barnes glanced coldly at Nolan Williams, his tone calm, "Didn’t you hear Elder Stevens’ words? Even he has never seen or heard of such a fruit... Could it be that you think I know more than Elder Stevens?"

"Moreover, to my knowledge, many spiritual fruits share similar characteristics but have different medicinal properties."

Wyatt Barnes looked towards Zachary Stevens and asked slowly: "Elder Stevens, is this so?"

Zachary Stevens nodded, "Indeed it is. There are countless types of spiritual fruits on the Cloud Skies Continent, but their medicinal properties differ... To my knowledge, there are quite a few fruits with characteristics similar to other fruits that can be easily mistaken for each other!"

As Zachary Stevens finished speaking, there was, unsurprisingly, a stir at the top of Heavenly Pivot Peak.

"It seems that Wade Williams of Heavenly Authority Peak happened to find a fruit that has similar characteristics... However, the fruit he found was similar in appearance to the one Wyatt Barnes consumed, but their medicinal properties were polar opposites."

"That’s right. The fruit that Wyatt Barnes consumed brought him great benefits, making people envious! But the fruit that Wade Williams consumed was a kind of poison fruit that even Elder Stevens couldn’t detect."

"This kind of fruit, unheard of! I’m afraid that it can only be tested by letting people or beasts personally ingest it... However, people and beasts would hardly share the spiritual fruit."

"Wade Williams will become the most aggrieved Peak Master in the history of our Seven Stars Sword Clan!"

...

These whispered discussions from the Seven Stars Sword Clan disciples fell into Wyatt Barnes’ ears, making him involuntarily crack a smirk.

That Wade Williams was indeed unlucky and died miserably.

He actually managed to come across the Soul-breaking fruit.

Even now, Wyatt Barnes found it somewhat unbelievable and felt as if he were dreaming.

When he casually made up the toxicity of the ’Soul-breaking fruit’, it was simply to fob off Wade Williams.

But he didn’t expect Wade Williams to actually go to the primal forest to find the Soul-breaking fruit...

What he expected even less was that Wade Williams actually found a Soul-breaking fruit!

Perhaps, from the moment Wade Williams found the Soul-breaking fruit, his fate had been sealed.

"Sect Leader, now that we understand the ins and outs of this matter... if Wade Williams truly died because of that poisonous fruit, it’s a mere twist of fate. I didn’t expect that there would be another kind of poisonous fruit in the primal forest that is similar to the one I had consumed, and that Wade Williams would actually find it."

Wyatt Barnes looked at Zeke Foxsong and spoke slowly.

Zeke Foxsong raised his hand, the Origin Force fluctuated, enveloping and gathering the sixth-order spirit sword ’Autumn Water’ from the ground...

Shortly, the sword originally belonging to ’Wade Williams’ of Heavenly Authority Peak landed in Zeke Foxsong’s hand.

"Peak Master Wade Williams of Heavenly Authority Peak died of poisoning by accidental ingestion, which had nothing to do with others... His sixth-order spirit sword ’Autumn Water’ will temporarily be in my custody and passed on to the next Peak Master of Heavenly Authority Peak."

As Zeke Foxsong said this, his gaze sharpened and suddenly fixed on Nolan Williams who was about to speak again.

The fierce gaze made Nolan Williams shiver. He promptly shut his mouth, not daring to say another word...

"You may disperse now!"

Zeke Foxsong’s voice rang out, marking the end of today’s commotion.

The next moment, under the eyes of all the Seven Stars Sword Clan disciples, Zeke Foxsong’s body gradually faded, first turning into a phantom, then disappearing altogether without a trace.

"Wyatt Barnes, come to the Heavenly Pivot Palace in three days."

At the same time, a gentle voice formed by Origin Force reached Wyatt Barnes’ ear.

Wyatt Barnes could tell.

This was the voice of the Sect Leader of Seven Stars Sword Clan, Zeke Foxsong.

"I can’t accept this, I can’t accept this!!"

After Zeke Foxsong left, Nolan Williams roared and picked up Wade Williams’s body, sprinting down Heavenly Pivot Peak...

As he passed, the disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan all moved aside.

"I thought that Nolan Williams had iron-clad evidence to prove that it was Wyatt Barnes who killed Peak Master Wade Williams... I didn’t expect that in the end, this was all a farce."

"However, we finally learned the secret of how Wyatt Barnes won against a stronger opponent."

"Not only does Wyatt Barnes have strong martial arts talent, his luck is unbelievably good, it’s envy-inducing!"

...

Amidst a series of lively discussions, the disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan gradually dispersed.

"Humph!"

Kade Cruz glanced coldly at Wyatt Barnes, gnashing his teeth, and turned away unwillingly.

High in the sky, a group of Seven Stars Sword Clan elders also gradually dispersed.

"Wyatt Barnes, I will get the ’Ching Washes the Marrow Sutra’ sooner or later."

Woody Dunn took a deep breath and flew away.

A moment ago, the peak of Heavenly Pivot Peak was lively. Now, it had suddenly become quiet, leaving only a few Inner Sect disciples standing near the trading hall and Wyatt Barnes’s group.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two figures descended from the sky.

Peak Master of Sunrise Peak ’Colin Clark’, and Peak Master of Shimmering Light Peak ’Kinsley Cooper’.

Just as they landed near Wyatt Barnes and his group.

Whoosh!

From behind the clouds in the distance at the peak of Heavenly Pivot Peak, a piercing wind howling sound was heard....

The howling wind is getting closer!

"Hm?"

Kinsley Cooper’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she looked towards the source of the sound, murmuring, "It’s a demon beast."

For a moment, Wyatt Barnes, Colin Clark, and the others also looked over.

In the distant sky, the clouds were rolling, and an incredibly fast-moving shadow was flying through the clouds and fog. Wherever it passed, it left a long stream, and its aura was like a rainbow.

After a moment.

The shadow approached the peak of Heavenly Pivot Peak.

Once it passed through a few more layers of clouds and fog, it would appear before everyone’s eyes.

"A first level Peep Naught Realm demon beast!"

At this time, Wyatt Barnes’s sharp spiritual power faintly probed the details of the shadow.

"No!"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes’s spiritual power surged, his expression slightly grim, "This demon beast is also carrying a person... It seems to be a warrior in the ’Seventh-Order Original Infant Realm’!"

Whoosh!

Finally, a huge shadow passed through the clouds and fog before Wyatt Barnes’s eyes, appearing and hovering in the sky above.

"What’s that?!"

"It looks like a demon beast... what kind of demon beast dares to trespass into our Seven Stars Sword Clan!"

...

At the peak of Heavenly Pivot Peak, the Inner Sect disciples near the trading hall all gathered, looking up at the huge shadow in the sky.

Now, Wyatt Barnes’s gaze also fell on the shadow.

It was a flying beast-like demon beast, like an eagle but not an eagle. Its entire body was covered with shiny black feathers, its wings spread out like clouds hanging from the sky, and the feathers at the tips of its wings were like sharp blades, which under the thin sunlight, shone with a terrifying glow.

A chill ran down their spines.

"Peter Black!"

Soon, some of the Inner Sect disciples exclaimed.

Peter Black?

Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes began to search through the memories of the Reincarnated Martial Emperor...

In a moment, he got what he wanted to know.

Peter Black, a Peep Naught Realm Demon Beast, when grown to its peak, its strength is comparable to that of a third-level warrior of the Peep Naught Realm...

Peter Black is a hybrid of a Peng-type flying beast demon beast and an eagle-type flying beast demon beast.

"Peter Black has both the speed of Peng-type flying beast demon beasts and the attack power of eagle-type flying beasts... It’s a very terrifying demon beast."

A thought flickered in Wyatt Barnes’s mind.

At this moment, what he was most curious about was the person sitting behind Peter Black.

Suddenly.

Whoosh!

Peter Black descended, and the figure sitting crossed-legged behind him, with a guqin on his lap, also caught Wyatt Barnes’s eye.

Suddenly.

"Zing!"

The person reached out to pluck the strings, the guqin trembled, and the sound spread out.
