Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 946: The Death of Tatum Cruz

Chapter 946: Chapter 946: The Death of Tatum Cruz

At Wyatt Barnes’s feet, the Demon Sealing Monument stirred, whisking him in the blink of an eye to appear in front of Tatum Cruz, hovering in the air before him.

"Tatum Cruz!"

Wyatt Barnes looked down at Tatum Cruz, his eyes brimming with a cold murderous intent.

"Wyatt Barnes... you... you can’t kill me! You can’t kill me!!"

Seeing Wyatt Barnes suddenly before him, Tatum Cruz’s face changed dramatically, and in his anxious tone, brimming with urgency, he cried out, fearing Wyatt would cut him down before he could finish speaking.

"Can’t kill you?"

Hearing Tatum Cruz’s words, Wyatt Barnes scoffed, "And the reason would be?"

He had long harbored the intent to kill Tatum Cruz.

The previous threat from Marshall Tyler made him acutely aware of the significance of ’cutting the weeds and digging up the roots.’

Back then, at the summit of Heavenly Pivot Peak within the Sword Clan, had he killed Marshall Tyler during their ’two-year agreement’ duel, none of the subsequent events related to Tyler would have happened.

Tatum Cruz posed an extreme sense of threat to him.

He faintly realized that as long as Tatum Cruz was alive, one day he would become another Marshall Tyler!

Outside, the venomous gaze Tatum Cruz threw his way made him realize that Tatum Cruz was an essential threat to eliminate.

If he wasn’t removed, he would surely be a great disaster in the future!

At this moment, standing on the Demon Sealing Monument, Wyatt Barnes hovered in the air, looking down at Tatum Cruz, holding Cruz’s life in his hands.

With just a flick of his sword, he could instantly take Tatum Cruz’s life.

"The reason?"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Tatum Cruz initially froze, then hurriedly said, "I am the personal disciple of the Flame Peak Master. If you kill me, my master will surely not let you go... he definitely won’t let you go!"

"That’s your reason?"

Wyatt Barnes had thought that Tatum Cruz would come up with something new; instead, he had simply invoked the name of the Flame Peak Master, ’Teawhite’, as a shield.

It was disappointing, to say the least.

Had he considered the prospect of offending ’Teawhite’ when he decided to kill Tatum Cruz?

Of course, he had!

But he was not afraid!

Seeing that Wyatt Barnes was indifferent to his ’reason’, Tatum Cruz’s complexion turned alternately pale and flushed, and finally, he suddenly fell to his knees, knocking his head on the ground in front of Wyatt.

"Wyatt Barnes, spare me, please! Spare me!!"

As Tatum Cruz knocked his head and pleaded, he said, "I was blind and offended you before... If you don’t kill me today, I swear, I shall never oppose you again!"

"Spare me, please! Spare me!!"

As Tatum Cruz continued to knock his head, his forehead soon became stained with fresh blood, his face showing genuine fear.

It was undeniable; Tatum Cruz’s actions shocked Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt had never anticipated that in a life or death situation, Tatum Cruz would completely abandon his dignity and grovel so shamelessly before his former enemy.

"Perhaps, I overestimated him... a person who could betray a master who saved his life and showed him great favor, how could he possibly have any integrity?"

Upon further reflection, recalling Tatum Cruz’s despicable past, Wyatt Barnes felt resigned again.

The saying ’a leopard can’t change its spots’ applies to someone like Tatum Cruz.

"This Tatum Cruz has really disgraced Flame Peak, disgraced our Five Elements Sect!"

Brady Yellow said with a look of disgust.

Aside from one Flame Peak disciple who looked on with a complex expression, the eyes of the other Five Elements Sect disciples looking at Tatum Cruz were all filled with contempt, "Tsk tsk... The personal disciple of the Flame Peak Master of our Five Elements Sect, and he’s this spineless?"

"Just like Senior Brother Brady said... he indeed brings shame to Flame Peak and to our Five Elements Sect!"

"If Teawhite, the Peak Master, saw this, he might be so angry he’d slap him to death, right?"

"Disgraceful! Utterly disgraceful!"

...

One by one, the Five Elements Sect disciples looked at Tatum Cruz with disdain, openly criticizing him.

Even disciples from other powers, now looking at Tatum Cruz, were filled with contempt.

"I never imagined the Five Elements Sect would have such a cowardly disciple."

"And to think he’s the personal disciple of the Five Elements Sect’s Flame Peak Master... How blind must that Peak Master be to have accepted such a disgraceful disciple."

"’Wyatt Barnes’ of the Five Elements Sect shows profound strength and ruthless tactics, garnering respect! Yet this ’Tatum Cruz’ of the Five Elements Sect is utterly cowardly, inviting nothing but contempt."

...

The discussions of disciples from other powers were rampant, their words filled with disdain for Tatum Cruz, and some even compared him with Wyatt Barnes, creating a stark contrast.

The surrounding voices were not quiet, clearly reaching Tatum Cruz’s ears, making his body shudder involuntarily.

But he quickly adjusted his mood as if he hadn’t heard anything, continuing to kowtow and beg Wyatt, "Wyatt Barnes, spare me! Please... Please!!"

"You are a great man, a generous man! Spare me... spare me!!"

Tatum Cruz kept his head down, continually kowtowing and begging.

But his eyes brimmed with extreme shame and hatred; internally, he silently vowed:

As long as he could survive, he would definitely make Wyatt Barnes pay tenfold, a hundredfold for today’s events!

"If Master Teawhite saw you kowtowing and begging for mercy in front of me, showing such a lack of backbone... I’m afraid he wouldn’t need to act, as he would personally kill you," Wyatt said, lifting his sword and squinting his eyes slightly.

Seeing Wyatt lift his sword out of the corner of his eye, ready to strike and kill him, Tatum Cruz’s complexion drastically changed, and he hastily stopped kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Realizing that a great disaster was imminent, his gaze shifted to a disciple of the Five Elements Sect from Flame Peak standing not far away, sending a message condensed with Origin Force into the other’s ear.

"..."

"...If you do as I say, I refuse to believe that even the strongest young warriors from all the major forces combined can’t kill him!"

After sending the message with condensed Origin Force, Tatum Cruz looked at Wyatt Barnes and bellowed, "Wyatt Barnes! I’ll be waiting for you on the Netherworld Path!"

Wyatt Barnes had never imagined that, at the last moment, faced with life and death, Tatum Cruz would finally stop kowtowing and begging for mercy; his dignity and backbone seemed to awaken in a flash.

"Then you probably won’t have the chance to wait," Wyatt said.

Suddenly, Wyatt’s expression turned cold, and with a swift motion of his sword, he ended the life of Tatum Cruz, who was helpless before him.

Boom!

It was only after Tatum Cruz’s body fell to the ground that Wyatt finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was aware that he had eliminated a potential threat.

However, at this moment, Wyatt had not noticed

that among a group of disciples from the Five Elements Sect, a disciple from Flame Peak was looking at Tatum Cruz’s body with filled eyes of grief and indignation, but ultimately, he clenched his teeth and did not expose his emotions.

As the disciples of the Five Elements Sect witnessed Tatum Cruz turn into a corpse, they couldn’t help but sigh, yet no one felt pity for him.

Tatum Cruz was notorious within the Five Elements Sect and was called a ’White-eyed Wolf.’

Apparently, his past betrayal of his ’Master’ who had saved his life and his ’Master’ from Niklaus Woodson who had cultivated him before joining Flame Peak was something that many disciples of the Five Elements Sect still could not forget.

As Wyatt Barnes moved to kill Tatum Cruz, the sight alarmed many young disciples from the other four major forces, causing them to break out in a cold sweat, fearing that Wyatt might turn on them next.

The decisiveness of Wyatt Barnes’s action instilled a deep fear in their hearts.

"You are very clever," Wyatt said, looking towards the two black-clothed youths standing alone by the side—the two surviving young disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect—after killing Tatum Cruz.

These two disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect had survived because they had not participated in the recent siege against Wyatt Barnes.

Otherwise, their death would have been certain!

From a distance, the Sun and Moon Sect disciples whose complexion changed as Wyatt looked over, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his words.

"What do you think now?" Leonel Cruz, the leading figure among the young generation of the Sun and Moon Sect, took a deep breath and asked the person next to him.

Standing next to him, John Graham, who was the second figure among the young generation of the Sun and Moon Sect, had his forehead covered in sweat. Hearing Leonel’s words, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "Thank goodness I listened to you... Leonel, I owe you my life."

He had initially planned to join the other disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect to attack Wyatt Barnes as revenge for Dane Gagnon.

It was Leonel Cruz who stopped him at the critical moment.

Remembering the methods Wyatt Barnes had just displayed, he couldn’t stop the cold sweat on his forehead, which kept increasing, dripping like rain.

"Wyatt Barnes... I am looking forward even more to our battle now! After we exit the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret,’ how about we fight it out?" the quiet figure standing aside, Sorrow of the Cloud Sky Temple, the leading figure of the young generation there, said directly as he looked at Wyatt Barnes.

"I’m more than happy to oblige!" Wyatt responded nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders and then adding, "However, our battle doesn’t necessarily have to wait until we leave the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret’... As long as you find something in the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret’ that interests me, we are bound to cross swords."

"What, you also want to snatch things from me?" Sorrow’s eyes narrowed upon hearing Wyatt’s words.

"Of course! As long as you have something I’m interested in, I will snatch it," Wyatt replied matter-of-factly.

"Very well... then I shall look forward to it!" Sorrow took a deep breath, his face full of anticipation.

"Let’s go!" The voice of Flame Graham came from afar.

Following this, Flame Graham, along with Jaxxon Spacewood, Seth Cooper, and seven other disciples from the Heartbreak Sect, began descending the staircase beside the platform, heading towards the pitch-black ’Abyss’.

"Follow up." At the same time, Sorrow called to a group of Cloud Sky Temple disciples, and they followed suit.

The two remaining young disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect stepped forward and followed behind the group of young disciples from the Cloud Sky Temple, descending the staircase.

"The Sun and Moon Sect really took a hit... twenty young disciples were first killed by Brother Wyatt outside, then seventeen more here by Brother Wyatt, leaving only two."

"If you ask me, Grimm Wolf Fortress is the real unlucky one!"

...

Many disciples from the Five Elements Sect whispered among themselves.
