Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 688: A Sword Seals the Throat

Chapter 688: Chapter 688: A Sword Seals the Throat

Whoosh!

The moment the Grade Four Spirit Spear fell, the ’Origin Force’ and ’Realm of Water’ around Nick Nicholson also extinguished, falling straight down.

Boom!

Under the horrified eyes of everyone, Nick Nicholson crashed hard onto the iron cage of the duelling arena, hanging in midair.

For a moment, the entire place fell completely silent.

Drip! Drip!

....

Blood was still oozing from Nick Nicholson’s body, dripping onto the duelling ground, blooming into dazzlingly enchanting ’roses’.

Soon, everyone could see that Nick Nicholson was now devoid of all movement and breath.

Due to their viewing angle, a group of spectators on the eastern stands could clearly see that the blood was flowing down from Nick’s throat, a slender gash remained on it.

"It’s a sword mark! One shot...a throat silencing shot! This Nick Nicholson was killed by a throat silencing sword strike."

Suddenly, a spectator on the eastern stands involuntarily screamed in shock.

Very soon, the shock spread from the eastern stands, sweeping over the entire duelling arena.

In no time, almost everyone knew that the second strongest youth in the Nicholson Clan, ’Nick Nicholson,’ was killed with a throat silencing shot from the sword of ’Wyatt Barnes’ from the Black Stone Empire.

"What a fast sword! Despite being an eight-level Void Realm Martial artist, I still couldn’t see the trace left by his sword."

"If you could see it, Nick would probably have seen them too... then he wouldn’t have died."

"His sword seemed to have been wielded only after making Nick drop his Grade Four Spirit Spear... This is even more terrifying!"

"His speed was too fast! The vision of the ancient horned dragon in the heavenly spectacle hadn’t had time to fully coalesce yet."

...

In the entire duelling arena, the discussion was filled with admiration for the speed of Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes may have made a move, but no one knew exactly how strong he was.

That was because, from his move to the killing of his adversary, he had only used one sword, one that was incredibly fast.

As the illusionary figure of the ancient horned dragon in the Heavenly Spectacle was unable to entirely form due to its divine speed, even the crowd of keen-eyed Cave Void Realm powerhouses at the scene was left in the dark about the actual extent of Wyatt Barnes’ strength.

They could only guess for themselves.

"The strength of this Wyatt Barnes is much stronger than Nick Nicholson...When he made that move, there seemed to be more than one ’realm’ at play! I faintly heard a wind thunder sound. It should be the ’Realm of Wind’ and ’Realm of Thunder’ combined."

The slightly solemn old man in the royal box seat remarked.

"I heard it too."

The emperor of the Great Durdo Dynasty sitting next to him nodded, his eyes fell on the youth in purple standing high above the duelling ground, "He really lives up to being Taoi Romero’s son-in-law! He is truly exceptional!"

Now, the Emperor could understand why Wyatt Barnes was so proud when he faced him.

Wyatt Barnes was intrinsically an unworldly talent, proud and unbending, refusing to bend before anyone.

"Two realms?"

The old man’s words changed Matteo Buckingham’s expression slightly.

It should be known that he himself only understood one ’realm’ and the ’approach to the details’...

Understanding two ’realms’ would need a lot more time and energy - this was beyond his comprehension.

"Is Wyatt Barnes’ comprehension ability this strong?"

Matteo Buckingham stared at Wyatt Barnes, his eyes filled with both jealousy and coldness, as he guessed in his heart, "But, since he has demonstrated two ’realms,’ it seems that neither of his comprehensions have reached the ’ninth level’..... Otherwise, he would not need to use the second realm to kill Nick Nicholson."

"Wyatt Barnes... I will definitely defeat you!"

Even after finding out that Wyatt Barnes had understood two realms, Marshall Tyler did not feel any fear whatsoever. The twin flames burning fiercely in his eyes made him seem like a predator ready to prey on others.

Among the royal family, only ’Hal Buckingham’ was considerably calm.

After seeing Wyatt Barnes’ performance, a hint of surprise flashed through Hal Buckingham’s eyes, before regaining his stoic demeanor.

Meanwhile, in the premium viewing area reserved for the Romero Clan.

"This..."

The Clan Chief of Romero clan, Sebastian Romero, was entirely dumbfounded, looking at the youth in purple in the distance incredulously.

He never in his wildest dreams expected this youth in purple to be this formidable.

Killing an eight grade Void Realm martial artist who had comprehended the ’eight-level realm’ seemed as easy as killing a chicken or cutting grass from start to end.

"Young Master, look, the face of the Clan Chief of Nicholson clan has turned black! Hahaha... It’s just a shame that Miss Winnie is practicing and can’t witness this battle. Otherwise, she would be happy for Wyatt as well."

Elder Kane by his side was laughing heartily while speaking to Taoi Romero.

"He killed Nick Nicholson, probably to pave the way for Winnie."

Taoi Romero ignored the Nicholson Clan chief’s expression and muttered to himself as he watched Wyatt Barnes in the distance.

"It seems that Brother Wyatt cares a lot about Miss Winnie."

Elder Kane joked.

At this moment, Kayden Romero, sitting next to clan chief Sebastian Romero, looked a bit stiff, with eyes reflecting a lingering fear as if he had just narrowly escaped from death.

He could imagine that if Nick Nicholson hadn’t challenged Wyatt Barnes before he did,

The person who would’ve died would not have been Nick Nicholson, but him, Kayden Romero!

In this moment, Kayden Romero felt his back drenched in cold sweat.

This was his first brush with death.

"He truly deserves to be the son-in-law of the elder...his level of cultivation is much beyond my reach."

Kayden Romero took a deep breath, looking at Wyatt Barnes again, a touch of fear apparent in his gaze.

Meanwhile, the grim expression on the face of the Nicholson Clan Chief on the other high rank spectator stand was indeed difficult to ignore.

Nick Nicholson was the second strongest among the younger generation of the Nicholson Clan. His death meant that the Nicholson Clan had lost a future warrior of the ’Cave Void Realm’.

A warrior of the Cave Void Realm held a significant position to any power in the Great Turdo Dynasty.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

With vengeful eyes, the Clan Chief of the Nicholson Clan glared at Wyatt Barnes, desperately wishing he could turn into a beast and devour him.

"Impossible... Impossible! How could this Wyatt Barnes be so strong... How could he be!!"

Adrian Nicholson, the second young master of the Nicholson Clan, kept shaking his head, unwilling to believe the reality before him, "I must be dreaming, I must be dreaming!"

"Enough!"

Sitting nearby, Serenade Nicholson seemed to find Adrian too noisy, furrowing his brows and issuing a low shout.

Immediately, Adrian was frightened into silence, stopping his murmuring.

"Bro... Nick is dead!"

After a while, Adrian regained his composure, looked at Serenade Nicholson with an extremely difficult look on his face.

"Nick’s vengeance, I will avenge."

With a composed face, Serenade said in a light tone as if he was talking about something negligible.

From the moment Nick was killed until now, Serenade had not shown any emotional fluctuations, as if he was an outsider.

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope arose in the grieving eyes of Adrian Nicholson.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

"Wyatt Barnes!"

"Wyatt Barnes!"

...

The crowd in the lower ranking spectator stands of the Prisoner Dueling Arena erupted, shouting Wyatt Barnes’s name.

Wyatt Barnes hovered in the sky above the Prisoner Dueling Arena, after listening to the shouts for a while, he looked down and gently shook his head, "I guess there’s no difference between me now and those ’celebrities’ pursued in my previous life on Earth."

"If there’s still anyone who’s not convinced of my abilities, you’re welcome to keep challenging me."

Before leaving, Wyatt Barnes grinned, looked around, and then generously declared.

Arrogant!

It has to be said that Wyatt Barnes is currently quite arrogant.

However, the people at the scene did not think so because he had proven with his strength that he deserved to be ’arrogant’.

For a moment, the remaining thirteen talents, except Walter Simmons and Winnie Romero who was still practicing, all wore bitter expressions on their faces.

Challenge Wyatt Barnes?

Wasn’t that just asking for death?

The previous example was still hanging on the cage of the Prison Dueling Arena.

The corpse of Nick Nicholson seemed to be constantly warning them not to easily challenge Wyatt Barnes.

"Wyatt Barnes, I didn’t expect you not only to advance in cultivation, but also to comprehend the ’realm’ to such an extent...you are indeed our Black Stone Empire’s greatest genius in history!"

When Wyatt Barnes returned to where the people of the Black Stone Empire were sitting, Prince Yakim lost his composure with excitement.

"The day I met Elder Brother Ling Tian, I could tell that Elder Brother Ling Tian was exceptional... Today, your outstanding performance has won me over."

Prince Yakim’s adjacent Valiant Charlesworth also said.

The young talent who had received such high praise from Valiant Charlesworth, deputy head of the Turdo Dynasty’s Artifact Refiners Association, was thus far only Wyatt Barnes.

"Prince Yakim, Pavilion Master Charlesworth, you flatter me."

Wyatt Barnes modestly replied.

"Wyatt Barnes, impressive."

Once Wyatt Barnes sat back down in his seat, he saw Walter Simmons giving him a thumbs up.

"Just a Level Eight Enter Void Realm martial warrior."

Wyatt Barnes laughed and shook his head, not feeling proud about killing a Level Eight Enter Void Realm martial warrior.

Just a Level Eight Enter Void Realm martial warrior?

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s casual words, Walter Simmons twitched his mouth corner and then gave a bitter smile.

That Nick Nicholson who just made a move against Wyatt Barnes was equal to him in terms of cultivation and ’realm’... Perhaps, with the powerful attack of ’Realm of Sword’, he could overpower Nick Nicholson, but it would be extremely difficult to truly defeat Nick Nicholson.

Of course, this doesn’t mean he couldn’t defeat Nick Nicholson.

As long as he used the ’Triple Spirit Sword’ given to him by his master, killing Nick Nicholson would not be difficult.

"Brother Barnes, impressive!"

The representative of Fletcher Empire, an elder with the surname Liu, complemented Wyatt Barnes without hesitating to praise him.

"Yeah, impressive!"

"Really impressive!"

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, with your strength, in one more year, you will definitely shine in the ’Decade Martial Meeting.’

...

The group of young talents in the Fletcher Empire all took turns flattering Wyatt Barnes, without a stingy word of admiration.

Whilst Wyatt Barnes’ strength had stunned them, it had also induced their heartfelt respect.
