Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 427: Taoi Romero

Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Taoi Romero

The sudden appearance of the one hundred and twenty ancient elephant illusions, in a blink of an eye, turned into more than eighty and then gradually increased...

More than ninety.

More than a hundred.

...

One hundred and twenty-seven ancient elephant illusions at its peak, kept fluctuating.

"Seeds of Momentum?"

The pupils of Wyatt Barnes narrowed. But when his eyes touched the Spiritual Whip in the hands of the City Lord’s daughter, he discovered a strange hot breath within the circling Origin Force.

Wyatt Barnes was familiar with this sensation.

It was the breath of fire!

"Fire Seed...It’s a Fire Seed!"

Wyatt Barnes identified the technique used by the City Lord’s daughter.

Next moment, his face turned grave.

He felt a surge of tremendous force spreading from the Spiritual Whip of the City Lord’s daughter, preemptively launching an attack.

Trembling Power!

Even though Wyatt Barnes promptly invoked ’Trembling Power’, he could only counter part of the force.

Swift as the Wind!

Along this surge of power, Wyatt Barnes employed it to fly backward like a gust of wind, standing in the distance, observing the City Lord’s daughter from afar.

"If I had known she had realized ’Fire Seed’ earlier, I would have used ’Trembling Power’ from the start..."

Wyatt Banks regretfully sighed, feeling slightly upset.

He had believed that he could crush the City Lord’s daughter without using ’Trembling Power’ with his own strength.

But the fact proved that he had underestimated the City Lord’s daughter.

The City Lord’s daughter was a Martial Dao genius who had realized the ’Fire Seed’.

In terms of natural talent, she was no less than him.

In terms of comprehending abilities- she was the best amongst the young generation he had ever seen...

Even ’Young Master Blade’ from the Demon Lily Blade Sect of the Green Forest Royal Country was not comparable.

If Wyatt Barnes had used "Extreme Tremor Technique" when he drew his sword, by now he would have completely suppressed the City Lord’s daughter and won the final victory.

Regrettably, he didn’t use it.

Even if he utilized the ’Trembling Power’ later, after mitigating part of City Lord’s daughter’s power, he was unable to counter it.

’Trembling Power’, raised to its limit, requires time.

Just earlier, Wyatt Barnes simply didn’t have enough time to gradually cultivate the ’Extreme Tremor Technique’.

On top of the Martial Arts Contest Platform, Wyatt Barnes and the City Lord’s daughter faced each other.

In his hand, the ’Purple Emperor Soft Sword – its Origin Force was ravaging, pulsating.

Above his head in the empty space, one thousand two hundred and ten ancient elephant illusions seemed vivid, ready to strike.

Same was the case with the City Lord’s daughter; her Spiritual Whip was entwined with Origin Force.

But the ancient elephant illusions floating above her head fluctuated unstably between one thousand two hundred sixty and one thousand three hundred seven.

Moreover, there was no sign of decay.

"The ’Fire Seed’ of the City Lord’s daughter has almost reached the peak comprehension level of Original Infant Realm martial artists... She can now completely control the Fire Seed to some extent and it will not occasionally decay like ’Young Master Blade’s’ ’Blade Momentum’."

Wyatt Barnes felt deep admiration for the City Lord’s daughter in front of him.

A twenty-year-old woman, possessing such skills was absolutely monstrous!

Monstrous enough to make one’s heart tremble.

As Wyatt Barnes kept his gaze on the City Lord’s daughter, she was looking at Wyatt Barnes as well.

"Could it be him?"

A hint of doubt and also a young girl’s shy charm were hidden in the City Lord’s daughter’s autumn eyes.

Of course, Wyatt Barnes didn’t notice this.

When Wyatt Barnes and City Lord’s daughter had separately confronted each other, the surroundings of the platform erupted into discussion.

"Who would have thought, this young man is also a freak!"

"Yeah, I feel his strength is not much less than that of the City Lord’s daughter..."

"Mixed gently with an aroma of chocolate, assertive but not oppressive."

"But his strength still seems less than that of the City lord’s daughter."

"So? Haven’t you forgotten, even though his strength was less than that of the City Lord’s daughter in the beginning, didn’t he still end up driving her back?"

...

For a moment, a series of scorching gazes turned on Wyatt Barnes.

"Elder Kane, his strength seems somewhat strange. And his Origin Force is vibrating at an extremely rapid frequency – giving me the feeling that it is...

A surprised expression was all over the resolute face of the middle-aged man in red.

"It’s like the ’Flood Python’!" said the old man in grey, looking grave.

"Right, it’s exactly like the Flood Python...He has managed to grasp the method of the Flood Python’s Origin Force – a method that transforms weakness into strength. It is truly shocking."

The middle-aged man in red clothing exclaimed in an incredulous tone.

Perhaps, if he knew that the technique Wyatt Barnes was practicing was the third transformation called ’Flood Python Transformation’ from ’Nine Dragons War Sovereign’, he would not be so surprised.

"The young miss is no match for him."

The old man in grey shook his head. A beam of sharp light passed through his cloudy eyes.

Even with a vast sky separating them, he seemed to clearly see the purple figure on top of the Martial Arts Contest Platform...

"You are no match for me."

On the platform, Wyatt Barnes looked at the City Lord’s daughter.

"Humph! Whether or not I am your match will only be known after a trial."

The City Lord’s daughter yelped. Her charming figure once again moved like an angry fire phoenix, vowing to turn Wyatt Barnes into ashes...

Wyatt Barnes could discern the anger in the City Lord’s daughter’s words.

He could imagine that underneath the veil, her pretty face must be filled with anger.

"Heavenly Flower Rain!"

The City Lord’s daughter flicked her Level 5 Spiritual Whip and shadows of the whip again filled the sky, enveloping Wyatt Barnes.

The expression on Wyatt’s face changed as he stood still, unmoved as a mountain.

On his Purple Emperor Soft Sword, the Origin Force began to quiver slightly, reaching its peak frequency...

Extreme Tremor Technique!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

The whip shadows filled the sky, pouring down like a flurry of raindrops to form an impenetrable net, aiming to bind Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes made his move.

Sword Drawing Technique!

The sword flashed out like lightning, aiming directly at the Spiritual Whip that he had mentally locked onto and penetrated with his spiritual power.

The Finishing Touch!

The Purple Emperor Soft Sword drew a flower with a swift flick, hissing out and landing on the Spiritual Whip. Once again, it disrupted the martial technique of the City Lord’s daughter.

"Let go!"

Wyatt Barnes shook his hand and shouted, urging the City Lord’s daughter to promptly release the Spiritual Whip in her hand.

However, he soon realized that she didn’t intend to let go...

In the end, Wyatt Barnes spun the Purple Emperor Soft Sword in his hand, dissolved the Origin Force from the whip in the City Lord’s daughter’s hand, then reached out with his other hand, seized control, and flung the whip aside.

"This woman, she’s too competitive!"

Wyatt Barnes sighed in his heart.

Quickly reacting, he only felt the softness at his fingertips, realizing he was still holding the fair hand of the City Lord’s daughter.

"Ah."

Wyatt Barnes noticed that the City Lord’s daughter no longer looked furious. Instead, she lowered her gaze after glancing at him, resembling a demure young woman.

Compared to earlier, she was like a different person.

"Not good!"

This scene stirred a sense of foreboding in Wyatt Barnes; he hurriedly let go and retreated several steps, "I concede."

"Hee-hee... Brother Wyatt, don’t you want to see what she looks like?"

The voice of Little Gold Rat, made by condensing Origin Force, reached Wyatt Barnes’ ears. "If you want to, I can go remove her veil right now."

"Don’t mess around!"

Wyatt Barnes glared at Little Gold Rat, stopping him.

If Little Gold Rat were to remove the City Lord’s daughter’s veil, and then she declared ’the first man to see my face must marry me’...

Wouldn’t he be wrongly accused?

"This young lad won!"

"Young lad, congratulations on becoming the City Lord’s ’dragon-riding’ son-in-law!"

"Congratulations, young lad."

...

It wasn’t long before Wyatt Barnes realized that the excited crowd around the ring was actually congratulating him.

He was speechless.

Didn’t he say he was only here for the ’Soul-Shedding Fruit’?

Were these people deaf?

Just as Wyatt Barnes was about to explain.

"Hahaha..."

A hearty laugh descended from the sky, getting clearer.

Wyatt Barnes looked up.

He saw a figure in a red robe descending from the sky, appearing before his eyes in no time.

This was a middle-aged man wearing a red gown. He had a natural and imposing air about him. Now his eyes, looking at Wyatt Barnes, were glowing...

"City Lord!"

The reverent voices reached Wyatt Barnes’ ears.

All the people around the ring were saluting the man in the red gown.

The City Lord?

The City Lord of Phoenix Perch City?

Wyatt Barnes finally understood.

"Good...very good... Boy, from today onwards, you are my son-in-law!"

The City Lord of Phoenix Perch City, Taoi Romero, looked at Wyatt Barnes approvingly and nodded. His expression was full of amusement, like a father-in-law eyeing his son-in-law.

"Congratulations, City Lord."

"Congratulations, City Lord."

...

A group of people around the ring came forward to congratulate Taoi Romero.

"Thank you all."

Taoi Romero laughed heartily, in an excellent mood.

"City Lord Romero."

Wyatt Barnes glanced at the lady standing shyly by Taoi Romero’s side, then smiled bitterly, "I think you’ve misunderstood... my stepping onto this platform today was not for your daughter, but for the ’Soul-Shedding Fruit’."

As soon as Wyatt Barnes spoke, the jubilant atmosphere on the scene abruptly halted.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

...

A myriad of gazes from all around the ring fell on Wyatt Barnes.

The crowd was stunned by his words.

Some people just recalled that this young man had indeed said these words before he stepped onto the platform.

However, at that time, no one took his words to heart.

"What did you say?!"

Taoi Romero’s face changed dramatically. Almost instantly, a powerful aura surged from him, pressing down on Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes’ face turned pale.

Taoi Romero’s aura fell on him, causing his internal organs to tremble under the pressure.

In the end, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t bear it anymore; his body shook.

"Puh!"

A mouthful of clotted blood was forcefully coughed out.

Then, Wyatt Barnes struggled to raise his head, looking at Taoi Romero with a horror-stricken face, fear evident.

"The strength of this Taoi Romero is formidable... Even the auras of typical warriors in the Enter Void Realm don’t scare me at all! Yet his aura surprised and injured me!"

A shiver suddenly ran down Wyatt Barnes’ spine.
