Chapter 844: Barehanded Against the Blade

Chapter 844: Chapter 844: Barehanded Against the Blade

"I knew it, that sound earlier did sound like the voice of the Wood Family head, and it actually was!"

"Logically, the Wood Family head isn’t such an impulsive man... but why is he provoking the Walton Family like this today? It’s really baffling."

"Perhaps, it’s because of that purple-clad young man by his side? That young man in purple seems not to belong to the Wood Family; I’ve never seen him before."

"A young man who looks to be about 25 years old, can he actually help the Wood Family against the Walton Family? Whether you believe it or not, I certainly don’t."

...

More and more people gathered over the Walton Family’s mansion, looking from a distance at ’Noah Wood’ and ’Wyatt Barnes’.

At this moment, those who recognized Noah Wood didn’t dare to greet him; each of them was afraid of inviting trouble upon themselves.

"Noah Wood, you’ve got some nerve!"

By now, the space above the Walton Family mansion was surrounded by people. Out of the mansion, a bearded man in blue clothing soared into the sky with a voice like thunder.

In a moment, the bearded man was not far in front of Wyatt Barnes and Noah Wood, his gaze cold as he looked at Noah Wood, "Noah Wood, it seems you really don’t want to live!"

"It’s the Third Elder of the Walton Family, ’Rhys Walton’! They say not only is Rhys Walton very powerful, but he also has an extremely volatile temper... often killing someone over a disagreement! He’s a true brute."

"A brute isn’t scary, but what is truly terrifying is a brute with a strength beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

Soon, someone recognized the bearded man.

For a while, the onlooking crowd was all curious about how Noah Wood would deal with Rhys Walton.

Under expectant gazes, Noah Wood did not even glance at Rhys Walton, he didn’t even intend to look. Instead, he turned to Wyatt Barnes, "Brother Barnes, his name is Rhys Walton, he’s the Third Elder of the Walton Family, his cultivation is equivalent to mine, both of us are at the ’Cave Void Realm Second Layer’!"

"Cave Void Realm Second Layer?"

Wyatt Barnes was somewhat surprised, not expecting that a person from the Walton Family would match the strength of Noah Wood, the head of the Wood Family.

Now, Wyatt Barnes finally understood why the Walton Family was the number one family in ’Drifting Cloud Town’.

Such a foundation was enough to make the other three families, including the Wood Family, blush with shame.

"Noah Wood, it looks like today you really have the audacity of an ambitious leopard!"

Ignored by Noah Wood, Rhys Walton’s bearded face twitched with anger, his eyes suddenly bulging as he bellowed and with a swoosh, he charged towards Noah Wood.

Without any agreement, they came to blows!

This is the Third Elder of the Walton Family, ’Rhys Walton’!

For a moment, the crowd of onlookers sighed, "We have long heard of the notoriety of the Third Elder of the Walton Family, and seeing him today, his temper is indeed as volatile as the rumors!"

"Noah Wood, today your grandpa Rhys will let you know the consequences of provoking our Walton Family!"

Halfway through his charge, Rhys Walton raised his hand and a large blade appeared in his hand. Then, strands of purple lightning crackled around the blade.

Hum!

Thunderblade in hand, Rhys Walton aimed straight at Noah Wood, the blade falling unmercifully toward his head.

In the void above, a sudden change occurred in the heavens and the earth.

Seventy-seven ancient Horned Dragon apparitions, and thousands of ancient giant elephant apparitions, burst forth menacingly.

Cave Void Realm Second Layer!

Second Layer mid-stage Thunder Realm!

Fourth-grade Spirit Weapon!

This was the full extent of Rhys Walton’s power.

Yet Noah Wood, engulfed by the shadow of the thunderblade, stood still, unfazed and calm as ever, evidencing a remarkable serenity.

"Has Noah Wood been scared silly?"

The onlooking crowd was flabbergasted.

Soon, they realized that Noah Wood wasn’t scared silly; he knew nothing would happen to him.

Before they knew it, the purple-clad young man who had been standing beside Noah Wood was already standing between him and Rhys Walton, moving so fast that no one present could see clearly.

What followed was an unbelievable scene.

They saw the purple-clad young man quickly extend his hand towards Rhys Walton’s thunderblade, stunning the crowd once again.

Just one thought remained in their minds:

Was this young man insane?

Quickly, they realized that the young man wasn’t insane, they had simply thought too much.

Crack!

The purple-clad young man moved fast as lightning, actually catching Rhys Walton’s thunder-infused blade, even leaving Rhys Walton himself dumbfounded.

Boom!

A loud noise echoed as they watched the purple-clad young man throw Rhys Walton’s fourth-grade spirit blade aside and land a palm on Rhys Walton’s body, blasting him away.

"Wow!"

Rhys Walton flew out like an arrow released from its bow, his complexion turned pale as paper, and unable to help it, he vomited a mouthful of blood midair and, after a while, managed to stumble to his feet.

"Who are you?!"

Rhys Walton couldn’t help but gasp, looking at Wyatt Barnes where the anomaly in the sky above him hadn’t yet solidified before dissipating, and asked apprehensively.

The young man in purple before him had given him a huge shock.

Although he couldn’t see the anomaly caused by the other’s moves, judging by the fact that the other could catch his full-powered strike barehanded, he had to be at least at the ’Cave Void Realm Fourth Layer’ or above.

"I am Daisy Wood’s big brother."

Facing Rhys Walton’s query, Wyatt Barnes replied indifferently.

"Daisy Wood?"

Rhys Walton frowned, then as if something had dawned on him, he had a sudden realization, "I remember now; that Daisy Wood is Noah Wood’s daughter, and also the intended bride for the marriage alliance between the Wood Family and our Walton Family."

"However, when did the Wood Family have a personage like you?"

Rhys Walton asked in a deep voice.

"I am not a man of the Wood Family."

Wyatt Barnes spoke, "I am here at the Walton Family simply to help Daisy Wood dissolve the engagement... If your Walton Family agrees to dissolve the engagement and promises not to vent your anger on the Wood Family, then everyone can be happy! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?!"

Before Wyatt Barnes could finish his sentence, a loud and authoritative voice interrupted him.

Soon after, a burly figure rose into the air and arrived beside Rhys Walton, "Third Elder, are you alright?"

"Family Head!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, even someone as hot-tempered as Rhys Walton respectfully saluted, "However, this young man is not simple. He was able to catch my full-strength slash barehanded, at the very least he is a being above ’Cave Void Realm Fourth Layer’!"

Wyatt Barnes scrutinized the person who interrupted him, a robust middle-aged man whose presence faintly exuded that of a superior. Hearing Rhys Walton’s greeting, his identity was clear.

Head of the Walton Family, Adan Walton.

Leaving the Wood Family mansion and on his way here, to the Walton Family mansion, Wyatt Barnes learned from Noah Wood that Adan Walton is one of the two ’Cave Void Realm Fourth Layer martial artists’ of the Walton Family.

"Barehandedly caught your full-strength slash?"

Adan Walton’s expression subtly changed upon hearing Rhys Walton’s words, as he had not witnessed the scene of Wyatt Barnes catching Rhys Walton’s slash.

Although he himself could also catch a full-power slash from Rhys Walton, it would be somewhat forced.

"May I ask, young brother, where do you hail from?"

Adan Walton looked at Wyatt Barnes and asked with some apprehension.

At such a young age, possessing a cultivation above the ’Cave Void Realm Four Layer’, in his view, this purple-robed young man was very likely from a distinguished background, possibly even from one of the major powers in the region east of the Northern Desert.

"My background, if I were to speak of it, you might not know of it, so let’s not talk about it."

Wyatt Barnes said indifferently. Even if he mentioned he was from the ’Great Turdo Dynasty’, it’s likely that no one in ’Drifting Cloud Town’ would know of it.

"Do you truly mean to stand up for the Wood Family?"

Adan Walton frowned slightly and asked in a grave tone.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

"Do you realize that by making such a fuss today, if our Walton Family were to back down, we might very well become the laughingstock of the entire ’Drifting Cloud Town’? We, the Walton Family, cannot afford to lose face like that!"

Adan Walton said.

"I am aware."

Wyatt Barnes nodded again and spoke lightly, "But if someone defeats the three strongest members of your Walton Family, even if you back down today, nobody will laugh at you!"

"It seems, young brother, you are quite confident in your abilities!"

Adan Walton laughed angrily in response.

"You flatter me."

Wyatt Barnes responded without the slightest hint of embarrassment or breathlessness.

"Since that’s the case, I, Adan Walton, shall today thoroughly test your esteemed skills! If you can defeat me, I will go and ask our Walton Family’s Supreme Elder to battle you. If you defeat him, the marriage agreement between the Walton and Wood Families will be dissolved, and we will not trouble the Wood Family in the future."

Adan Walton spoke openly and forthrightly.

"Since Family Head Walton is so straightforward, then I shall accept your challenge,"

Wyatt Barnes smiled, rather appreciative of Adan Walton’s frankness. Indeed, he was worthy of being the Head of the Walton Family, ’Drifting Cloud Town’s’ number one family.

"Please, young brother."

Adan Walton nodded and then lifted his hand, a seven-foot long spear appearing, wrapped almost instantly in Origin Force that turned into strands of gray fog-like energy.

"Spear realm?!"

Wyatt Barnes exclaimed in surprise; this was his first encounter with someone who had comprehended the ’Intermediate Spear Realm’. The spear realm was considered an unusual one, with comprehension far more difficult than ordinary realms.

Whoosh!

Above Adan Walton’s head in the swirling void, the power of heaven and earth churned and finally coalesced into an extraordinary phenomenon.

One hundred and fifty-one ancient Horned Dragon phantasms, and thousands of ancient giant elephant phantasms, gradually took shape, vivid and ready to burst forth.

Cave Void Realm Fourth Layer!

Intermediate Spear Realm!

Third-Rank Spirit Spear!

"Family Head Walton, you are the first person I have seen who has comprehended the ’spear realm’ to such a level... Setting other matters aside, just for this, I hold you in high respect."

Wyatt Barnes said with sincere admiration.

"Haha..."

Adan Walton stood tall with his spear, laughing heartily, "To be praised by such an outstanding young warrior like yourself, I, Adan Walton, consider my life not wasted."

Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu!

...

While Wyatt Barnes and Adan Walton were confronting each other, within the Walton Family estate, one figure after another rose into the sky and gathered around Rhys Walton.

They were a group of Walton Family elders and younger members.

They quickly learned of the prior events from Rhys Walton and were all taken aback.

One set of eyes after another fell on the distant purple-robed young man.

This approximate twenty-five-year-old was the one who had caught a full-power slash from their Walton Family Third Elder, Rhys Walton, barehanded?

The strength of Rhys Walton was known to them. Being a Second Layer practitioner of the Cave Void Realm, he ranked among the forefront of the entire Walton Family.
