Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 980: Ledger Leigh!

Chapter 980: Chapter 980: Ledger Leigh!

"Megan Coldring?"

Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow, recalling the figure of the young man in black who he had killed not long ago, "It seems that he really was a disciple of the North Nether Sect."

"Hmm."

Rey Jones nodded, "In the current generation of young disciples in the North Nether Sect who have comprehended the ’Triple High-Order Earth Realm’ and are also at the ’Transforming Void Realm Level Three’... there’s only ’Megan Coldring’."

"Megan Coldring is the second strongest among the contemporary young generation in the North Nether Sect, his strength is truly extraordinary! If we were to fight in the sky, I would be more or less evenly matched with him... but if I encountered him here in the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure,’ I would be no match for him."

Towards the end, Rey Jones’s tone carried a hint of wariness.

Wyatt Barnes nodded; he naturally understood why Rey Jones would say such a thing.

The Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure, comprised of caverns hidden deep underground, allowed martial artists who had comprehended the Earth Realm to freely connect with the earth and borrow the ’Power of Earth.’

"So that guy’s name was ’Megan Coldring’!"

At this moment, Brady Yellow suddenly realized and couldn’t help but mockingly laugh, "So what if he’s the second strongest among the young generation in the second-rate ’North Nether Sect’? He was still killed by Wyatt Barnes!"

By the end, a smug look appeared on Brady’s face, as if it was not Wyatt Barnes but he himself who had killed Megan Coldring.

At Brady Yellow’s words, Wyatt Barnes, Walter Simmons, and Brian Graham had no reaction.

But to Rey Jones, those words struck him like thunder, causing him to freeze in place and no longer continue flying forward.

Seeing Rey Jones stop, the four of them, including Wyatt Barnes, also came to a halt.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, you... you killed Megan Coldring?"

Rey Jones looked towards Wyatt Barnes, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

Although, when he found out that Wyatt Barnes had acquired a fragment of ’Profound Mystery,’ he had vaguely guessed that Wyatt’s strength was not simple and was far stronger than he had imagined.

But never had he expected that Wyatt could actually have the ability to kill Megan Coldring!

Megan Coldring, whose cultivation and comprehended realm were equal to his own, would almost certainly defeat him in the Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure.

Megan Coldring had comprehended the Earth Realm and could freely borrow the ’Power of Earth’ within the Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure, giving his Earth Realm a boost of nearly fifty percent.

Faced with Rey Jones’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes simply nodded, appearing calm and collected, as if killing Megan Coldring was nothing extraordinary to him.

Of course, in reality, it indeed was not much of a feat for him.

If he chose to strike first with all his might, unleashing a force greater by over two hundred ancient Horned Dragons than Megan Coldring’s.

He could take down Megan Coldring in just one encounter!

"A freak!"

Watching Wyatt Barnes casually nod in response to his question, Rey Jones’s lips twitched fiercely, and the thought that emerged in his mind was precisely that.

The Third-Rate ’Five Elements Sect’ had produced such a terrifying disciple, which filled him with an inexplicable shock from the bottom of his heart.

The purple-robed young man before him, no matter how one looked, appeared to be only around twenty-five years old.

Even if a profound cultivation could suppress aging and he took particular care of himself, his real age would not exceed thirty.

This was something Rey Jones was certain of.

It was for this reason that he felt so incredibly shocked and incredulous.

"Let’s go!"

Following Wyatt Barnes’s call, Rey Jones continued to travel with the group of four towards the ’central area’ of the Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure.

However, along the way, his gaze frequently wandered to Wyatt Barnes.

This young man, who could be described as an ’unparalleled genius,’ had actually killed Megan Coldring who had the advantage of the ’Power of Earth’...

How strong must his actual strength be?

"Thank goodness I never thought of snatching the ’Profound Mystery Fragment of the Ninth Level Blade’ from his hands... otherwise, it would definitely have been me who died, not him!"

Thinking back to the first time he met Wyatt Barnes, and the ’trade’ they conducted, Rey Jones couldn’t help but feel a bit terrified.

He remembered that trade very well.

He had exchanged his ’Profound Mystery Fragment of the Ninth Level Earth’ for Wyatt Barnes’s ’Profound Mystery Fragment of the Ninth Level Blade.’

At that time, in his eyes, Wyatt Barnes was just a simple-minded youth from a Third-Rate power with negligible strength, not worth mentioning.

Thinking back to when he left and was ’teaching’ Wyatt Barnes, Rey Jones’s face couldn’t help but feel a bit hot.

"And this time... I’m fortunate that I didn’t covet the ’Triple Emperor Realm Wind Profound Mystery Fragment’ in Elder Brother Ling Tian’s hands. Otherwise, there’s no saying that I would be able to obtain the ’Profound Mystery Fragment’ for my Sect, let alone whether I would be able to survive."

With this thought, Rey Jones felt an additional wave of trepidation.

"I used to worry about Ledger Leigh coveting the ’Profound Mystery Fragment’ in Elder Brother Ling Tian’s hands and making a move against him... Ledger Leigh’s strength is on par with mine, but in this ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure,’ he would be inferior to Megan Coldring!"

Rey Jones laughed at himself, feeling he had seriously underestimated Wyatt earlier, "Elder Brother Ling Tian could even kill Megan Coldring... If Ledger Leigh dared to provoke Elder Brother Ling Tian, there would be no doubt, a definite dead end!"

Rey Jones’s thoughts, of course, were unknown to Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt was now fully focused on reaching the ’central area’ of the Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure that lay ahead.

For him, it was a place of the unknown.

Unknown and, therefore, the most terrifying because anything could happen there.

"According to the message left by that Martial Emperor expert, in the central area of his Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure, there’s a palace... That place is where he finished his life."

Wyatt Barnes recalled the information he had gleaned from the message left by the Martial Emperor expert after entering the Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure.

"Getting the three ’Profound Mystery fragments’ inside that palace definitely won’t be easy!"

Wyatt had a very strong intuition about this.

Of course, the reason for this intuition was the memories he had integrated from the Martial Emperor of Reincarnation.

According to the thoughts recorded in the Reincarnation Martial Emperor’s memories, if a Martial Emperor powerhouse had truly left behind their resting place along with their ’Emperor Realm Profound Mystery fragments,’ they would certainly not make it easy to obtain.

In the eyes of a Martial Emperor powerhouse, only the most exceptional individuals deserved to receive their ’Emperor Realm Profound Mystery fragments.’

"Hmm?"

Three days later, Wyatt suddenly stopped in his tracks, and the other four people beside him also came to a halt, standing by his side.

They had discovered that there was no path ahead.

They were now in a spacious cave.

On each side of the cave, there were three openings leading to other caves. They looked perplexed, unsure of which opening was the route to the central area of the Martial Emperor’s secret treasure.

"Shall we separate and explore the paths?"

Brady Yellow was the first to suggest.

"That’s the only way now."

Wyatt nodded in agreement, then his gaze fell on the opening farthest to the left, "I’ll go that way."

"Rey Jones should go that way."

Immediately after, Wyatt gazed toward the opening farthest to the right and said to Rey Jones.

Rey Jones nodded, with no objections.

"Brady, Walter Simmons, Brother Graham... the three of you stick together and explore any opening. No matter the outcome, let’s reconvene here after one day."

Wyatt then turned to address Brady Yellow, Walter Simmons, and Brian Graham.

Considering the safety of the three, who were the weakest among the five of them, Wyatt decided they should stick together.

"Alright!"

The three of them quickly agreed.

"Hmm."

Wyatt nodded to the four, then transformed into a streak of purple lightning, darting into the far-left cave opening, rapidly scouring the interior to investigate the situation.

Rey Jones also leaped forth, entering the cave opening on the far right.

Brady and the other two entered another opening.

Just as they set off, a figure suddenly appeared in front of an outermost cave opening—a stout figure.

"Rey Jones... this time, I want to see how you’ll protect Wyatt!"

The owner of the stout figure was none other than ’Ledger Leigh.’

Ever since splitting from Wyatt and the others that day, he had made his way alone toward the ’central area’ of the Martial Emperor’s secret treasure and had arrived here.

After arriving, with the speed propelled by the force of a thousand ancient Horned Dragons, he quickly identified the correct path leading to the ’central area.’

The correct path was right behind the cave opening on the far right, the same one Rey Jones was investigating.

Just as he was about to continue forward, after confirming the correct route to the ’central area’ of the Martial Emperor’s secret treasure, a flash of inspiration struck him, realizing this might be his chance.

A chance to kill Wyatt and to obtain the ’Profound Mystery fragment’ that Wyatt possessed!

"Level Eight Emperor Realm Thunder Profound Mystery fragment!"

Within Ledger Leigh’s eyes flickered an insatiable greed. His figure surged with motion, his body wreathed in purple lightning, as he rocketed forward, vanishing into the leftmost cave opening.

His target was ’Wyatt.’

To be precise, it was the ’Level Eight Emperor Realm Thunder Profound Mystery fragment’ in Wyatt’s hands.

Naturally, Wyatt was unaware of Ledger Leigh lurking here, let alone that Ledger Leigh was now hot on his trail.

Whoosh!

Once Wyatt entered the leftmost cave, he unleashed his full Origin Force, his four ’realms’ following him like a shadow. He seemed to transform into a giant sword wrapped in earthy yellow power, purple lightning, and cyan energy winds.

Swish!

The giant sword cleaved through the air, shuttling through cave after cave, eager to determine if this was the path to the central area of the Martial Emperor’s secret treasure.

Time silently passed.

A half day had swiftly gone by.

By now, Wyatt had thoroughly scoped out this area—a ’dead-end maze’ with no exit other than the way back.

"I should head back... perhaps they have found some clues."

Thinking thus, Wyatt turned back.

Just as he was nearing the entrance of the cave, Wyatt’s swift figure came to an abrupt halt, his eyes coldly falling on the stout young man not far away.

"Ledger Leigh!"
