Chapter 85: Chapter 85 The One That Got Away

Wyatt Barnes regretted it.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have saved that eight hundred thousand USD...

Now look at him.

For eight hundred thousand USD, he was putting his life on the line.

Jovie, Keer...

I haven’t had the chance to cherish you, and I don’t want to die yet!

"Wyatt Barnes, it looks like even the heavens want you dead. You think you can kill me with an Attack Inscription without doing your due diligence...My defense inscription, ’Crystal Barrier Inscription’, was a gift from the former head of the family, who among the old generation of the Lee Family doesn’t know this?"

Johnathan Lee approached, every step like a death sentence for Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes picked up his sword again, standing straight, silent, waiting for Johnathan Lee to arrive.

Even if he was no match, he’d still fight!

If he was going to die, he would go down boldly!

An imposing aura spread from his body, one that held a defiant resolve to die rather than surrender.

Johnathan Lee’s gaze changed once again.

His eyes flashed a cold glint, growing deeper.

If this kid doesn’t die, he will become a great threat!

Bang!

Johnathan Lee shot out a palm, casting a shadow toward Wyatt Barnes.

Whoosh!

In Wyatt Barnes’ hand, the Purple Emperor Soft Sword swept out, meeting Johnathan Lee’s palm.

Smack!

Johnathan Lee’s palm slapped down, knocking away the sword and continued toward Wyatt Barnes’ chest.

Above his head, one hundred and ten ancient giant elephant phantoms roared like thunder.

The full force of the Original Pill Realm Level Eight exploded!

Feeling the suffocating atmosphere closing in, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of Wyatt Barnes’ mouth.

Is he going to die again?

Hum!

However, in the next moment, the sharp ringing of a blade followed by Johnathan Lee’s scream woke Wyatt Barnes from his dream-like state.

In an instant, he felt a hand on his shoulder, pulling him aside.

He looked closely.

Now, Johnathan Lee’s right hand, from which he had struck out, was severed at the wrist, spraying hot blood, his body thrown more than ten meters away by inertia.

Wyatt Barnes turned towards the person who saved him.

Clothed in a tight black outfit with a devilish mask, in his hand was a crescent-shaped blade from which dripped Johnathan Lee’s blood...

"A Level Eight Spirit Weapon!"

With just one glance, Wyatt Barnes recognized the grade of the crescent blade.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes noticed a twinkle of laughter in the eyes behind the masked figure’s devilish mask.

It was him!

Wyatt Barnes was stunned.

"You’re one of the ’Ghostly Shadows’?"

At that moment, the blood-drained and pale-faced Johnathan Lee looked toward the masked figure, looking fearful.

The masked figure ignored Johnathan Lee.

Instead, he turned to Wyatt Barnes and asked, "Now, do you want to issue a mission to kill Johnathan Lee? If not, I’ll leave."

Wyatt Barnes rolled his eyes at him, annoyed: "Of course I am! You’ve been hiding and enjoying the show, haven’t you?"

The masked figure chuckled and then stepped forward.

Above his head, one hundred and twenty ancient giant elephant phantoms appeared instantaneously, overwhelming like dark clouds, their momentum rainbow-like.

"Original...Original Pill Realm Level Nine!"

Johnathan Lee’s face drastically changed.

"One million, one million USD...I’ll pay one million USD for Wyatt Barnes’ life!"

Johnathan Lee panicked.

A Level Nine Original Pill Realm strength, not to mention him who had lost his most vital arm, even in his prime, he might not be a match.

"In my eyes, his life...is worth far more than one million!"

The masked figure gave Johnathan Lee his reply.

Johnathan Lee’s face turned pale.

Escape!

Without hesitation, he turned and fled, transforming into a series of afterimages as he exerted his body technique to the limit.

However, the masked figure was faster, chasing after him like a specter in the blink of an eye.

Hum!

A streak of white light passed by.

Johnathan Lee’s body trembled, he was flung away, both hands clutching his throat, unable to stop the gushing blood.

The dignified Grand Elder of the Lee Family, had thus met his end.

At this moment, the masked figure removed his mask.

It was the manager of the medicine shop!

When Wyatt Barnes saw the true face of the masked figure, he did not appear surprised because he had figured it out a while ago.

However, the masked figure’s cultivation level still gave him a start.

Level Nine Original Pill Realm.

With such a cultivation level, he could compare to the Clan Chief of the Lee Family, Atticus Lee.

"Manager, I’ve known you for so long, yet I don’t seem to know your name."

Wyatt Barnes’ eyes twinkled, staring at the figure in black.

"During the day, I go by ’Bull Don’. At night, I am ’Shally Don’, codenamed ’Blood Moon’."

Shally Don laughed.

"Bull Don?"

A twitch appeared at the corner of Wyatt Barnes’ mouth.

No matter what, he could not associate the decisive assassin, Ghostly Shadow, with this name.

"The inscription you used just now, was it the ’Bloody Inscription’?"

Suddenly, Shally Don turned to Wyatt Barnes and asked.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

"Did you inscribe it yourself?"

Shally Don asked again.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded again.

Shally Don looked closely at Wyatt Barnes, scrutinizing him up and down, "I would love to take you home and dissect you to see what other secrets you’re hiding."

Wyatt Barnes paused slightly, "There’s no need for that."

"I need some Blood Engraving Inscriptions."

Shally Don suddenly reached out.

"Sure, but you have to provide your own materials. Plus, for each Broken Blood Inscription, I’m charging one hundred thousand in processing fees."

A mischievous glint passed through Wyatt Barnes’s eyes.

"You...are ruthless.

Shally Don twitched the corner of her mouth but admitted, "Deal!"

Before Shally Don left, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but ask, "Have you been following me these past few days?"

Shally Don turned a cold shoulder at Wyatt Barnes, displeased, "Do you think I’m you, with so much leisure time? I have to run my store during the day. I had someone shadowing Johnathan Lee. Once Johnathan Lee left Aurora City, I followed. I was curious too, why you seemed so confident that you could kill Johnathan Lee."

"In the end, some people fell into a ditch. Ha-ha-ha-ha..."

Later on, Shally Don couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Wyatt Barnes twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Regardless, this time I owe you a favor, I’ll inscribe the next ten Broken Blood engravings for free."

Wyatt Barnes had never liked being in debt to others.

"So generous? Well, I won’t be stingy either. I will waive the reward for inducing the death of Johnathan Lee."

Shally Don looked surprisingly at Wyatt Barnes. Moving like a phantasm, she disappeared from Wyatt Barnes’s sight within moments.

"Looks like, in future when it comes to life and death, I can’t be too stingy..."

This lesson, Wyatt Barnes remembered deeply.

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes’s ears twitched.

His face changed.

He noticed that a group of people was quickly approaching.

Without time to deal with Johnathan Lee’s body, he dashed up a nearby tree, hiding among the branches and scrutinizing everything underneath.

Soon, seven young men stepped into view.

On their clothes, there was a badge.

King Family.

"Could they be the ’King Family’ from Victory City?"

An idea appeared in Wyatt Barnes’s mind.

Around the Misty Forest, there are three cities: Aurora City, Foggy Water City, and Victory City.

’Greyson Ho’ an Original Infant Realm expert encountered in Misty Forest last time, was part of the Ho Family of Foggy Water City.

"Huh, there’s a body here."

A young man discovered Johnathan Lee’s body and yelled in surprise.

"Hmph! This guy, with no ability yet dares to venture into the inner area of the Misty Forest, he deserved his death."

A person walking in the distance snorted disdainfully.

"No... he was killed by a human, not a Fierce Beast. You see, his amputation is very neat, he was killed by having his throat cut."

A more observant young woman said.

"Indeed. Wait, there’s a emblem on his clothes."

Another young man stepped forward, cleaning Johnathan Lee’s emblem.

"Lee Family!"

Immediately several people exclaimed in surprise.

Finding the identity of Johnathan Lee by these people didn’t panic Wyatt Barnes.

No one would think that he had the ability to kill Johnathan Lee.

"Hmph! It turned out to be someone from the Lee Family. He deserved to die too."

A young man in blue clothes was extremely angry when he mentioned the ’Lee Family’.

"Yes, people from the Lee Family are too hateful. The younger brother of Charles King, ’Charles King’, went to hunt Black Pythons in this Misty Forest with a few disciples last time. At the critical moment, one young man and one young woman from the Lee Family were reaping the benefits, they not only took the advantages but also killed the few surviving disciples of our King Family."

"Thankfully Charles King was lucky. His heart is located offside; otherwise, he would probably become a wandering ghost in this Misty Forest."

"Even so, Charles King was still pierced through his internal organs and is still recuperating..."

"If it wasn’t for Charles King’s inability to travel due to his current physical condition, the Clan Chief would have personally taken him to confront the Lee Family."

"When Charles King recovers, I also want to go to the Lee Family. I want to see who was so cruel."

...

A group of successors from the King Family in Victory City were in a heated discussion.

Their casual conversation reached Wyatt Barnes’s ears, which made him slightly emotional.

Black python?

Reaping the benefits?

Aren’t the young boy and girl from the Lee Family that these people mentioned him and Keer?

"I didn’t expect that my ’luck’ would be so good that I could meet someone with an offside heart."

Wyatt Barnes had the urge to vomit blood.

As far as he knew, among thousands of people, there was hardly anyone with an offside heart.

Although he had killed countless people in his past life, he had never encountered such a person.

In this life, he has killed only a few people, but he actually met such a person.

What bad luck.

"What should we do with this old guy from the Lee Family?"

"I think we should return him to the Lee Family. That way, they will own us a favor. Maybe next time when the Clan Chief brings Charles King to recognize the culprit, they will hand over the murderer for us to deal with in view of this favor."

"Makes sense."

...

Seeing the young men of the King Family take away Johnathan Lee’s body, Wyatt Barnes jumped off the tree and left the Misty Forest.

After returning to Aurora City, he did not go directly back to the residence of the Lee Family.

He went straight to the pharmacy to find Shally Don.

"You’re in such a hurry to see me, is something wrong?"

Shally Don was somewhat surprised to see Wyatt Barnes’s arrival.

"I want to post a task."

Wyatt Barnes addressed straightforwardly.

"Target?"

Shally Don asked.

"Charles King...a man from the King Family of Victory City."

Wyatt Barnes said slowly.

In his opinion, as long as Charles King was alive, he posed a potential threat to him.

Must be eliminated!

"Victory City?"

Shally Don frowned slightly, "We, Ghostly Shadow, have a different contact person in Victory City...he doesn’t have a good relationship with me. It’s not appropriate for me to intervene in this incident. You can sneak into Victory City yourself, and you can post tasks at our Ghostly Shadow spot in Victory City."
