Chapter 985: Chapter 985: Leaving the Five Elements Sect

Boom!

Boom!

...

With every step Wyatt Barnes took, it was as if a giant hammer pounded on Riggs Leigh’s chest, making his breathing grow more and more rapid and difficult to calm.

Noticing the killing intent contained in Wyatt’s eyes, Riggs Leigh’s face turned ugly as he hastily took out a healing Pill Medicine and swallowed it.

However, with his current injuries, even after taking the healing Pill Medicine, it would be some time before he could fully recover, affecting the exertion of his strength.

Whoosh!

At some point, Riggs Leigh’s intact left hand produced a blade, a substantial broadsword.

As the flames in his hand surged, they fused into the blade, causing the sword light to burst forth.

Swoosh!

Above his head in the void, the power of heaven and earth condensed once more, forming the phantoms of one thousand one hundred ancient Horned Dragon Spirits, followed by the appearance of over five hundred more ancient Horned Dragon Spirits.

Over one thousand six hundred and twenty ancient Horned Dragon Spirits spiraled above Riggs Leigh’s head in the void, ready to strike!

However, perhaps due to his injuries not yet being fully healed, the one thousand six hundred and twenty ancient Horned Dragon Spirit phantoms above Riggs Leigh’s head were extremely unstable.

In a moment, the number decreased to over one thousand five hundred.

Then, it dropped to one thousand four hundred.

...

After that, they never again surpassed one thousand five hundred.

At this time, as Wyatt Barnes advanced step by step, a sword also appeared in his hand, an Emperor-grade spirit sword.

As soon as the "Emperor-grade spirit sword" appeared, with Wyatt’s strength flooding into it, the ancient Horned Dragon Spirit phantoms above his head in the void gained another four hundred figures on one side.

One thousand six hundred ancient Horned Dragon Spirits.

Such a celestial phenomenon would normally be astonishing, but many in the crowd couldn’t help but feel stunned.

These people were none other than Camden Taylor, Qadir Adams, and Rey Jones, along with the other young disciples from the "second-rate powers."

"This Wyatt Barnes, when using a spiritual weapon, only has the strength of one thousand six hundred ancient Horned Dragon Spirits? That’s over twenty less than the fully-powerful Riggs Leigh wielding a spiritual weapon?"

"But without using a spiritual weapon, his own power exceeds that of Riggs Leigh by a hundred ancient Horned Dragon Spirits! How can this be?"

"Could it be that he’s holding back?"

"That’s the only possibility... Otherwise, wouldn’t Riggs Leigh’s defeat today be too unjust?"

"Due to being severely injured by Wyatt Barnes, Riggs Leigh is now unable to unleash his full strength... even with a spiritual weapon, he can’t bring his power to exceed one hundred fifty ancient Horned Dragon Spirits!"

...

The people engaging in these discussions were the surviving disciples of the Impermanence Sect and North Nether Sect who had arrived at the ’central area’ of the Martial Emperor’s secret treasure, totaling no more than five.

Between their words, there was a certain schadenfreude.

In their view,

As long as Wyatt Barnes dared to kill Riggs Leigh, Riggs Leigh was bound to die today without a doubt!

The two surviving disciples of the Emerging Cloud Sect had extremely unsightly expressions on their faces.

Riggs Leigh was the number one amongst the young generation of their Emerging Cloud Sect, their "Undefeated War God" in their eyes!

But today, their "Undefeated War God" was at a disadvantage in front of a disciple from a third-rate power and was even in mortal danger.

Now, the group of second-rate power disciples who came here all almost knew of ’Wyatt Barnes’’s identity.

The name ’Wyatt Barnes’ was already familiar to them before they arrived here.

The number one of his generation from the third-rate power ’Five Elements Sect’ obtained an ’Omen Fragment’ in the outer boundaries of the Martial Emperor’s secret treasure.

"I thought of encountering this Wyatt Barnes before and then killing him to take the ’Omen Fragment’ he has... Now, it seems lucky that I haven’t encountered him, or else the one who would have perished would definitely be me," one of the Emerging Cloud Sect’s disciples said with a wry smile.

"Of course! Even Brother Riggs has been gravely injured by him; how could our strength compare to his? With such strength, it’s no wonder he obtained the ’Omen Fragment’," another disciple from the Emerging Cloud Sect agreed.

Following that, he added, "However, unless he’s out of his mind, he shouldn’t dare to kill Brother Riggs... Otherwise, it’s not just him that would be at risk— even the Five Elements Sect, the third-rate power he belongs to, would face the wrath of our Emerging Cloud Sect!"

"Yes, unless he can kill all of us who witnessed him killing Brother Riggs... Otherwise, even if he were to kill Brother Riggs, he himself wouldn’t survive, and he would drag his Sect down with him!" the first Emerging Cloud Sect disciple concurred.

Now, it seemed to most people that Wyatt Barnes wouldn’t dare kill Riggs Leigh.

After all, killing Riggs Leigh would be tantamount to making an irreconcilable enemy of the ’Emerging Cloud Sect’!

The Emerging Cloud Sect, one of the three strongest ’second-rate powers’ in the Northern Desert.

With just a ’Martial Emperor’ powerhouse, they could effortlessly strike the third-rate ’Five Elements Sect’ from the Northern Desert!

But how could they fathom Wyatt Barnes’s thoughts?

When they saw Wyatt accelerating and once again moving to attack Riggs Leigh, only needing three confrontations to send Riggs Leigh’s broadsword flying, and once again severely injuring him,

They were completely dumbfounded.

This disciple from a third-rate power was really this fierce?

Watching as Wyatt raised his hand, his sword swept out unhurriedly, about to pierce Riggs Leigh’s throat and kill him,

"He’s insane! This Wyatt Barnes is insane!"

"Isn’t he afraid of the Emerging Cloud Sect’s revenge?"

...

Apart from the two young disciples of the Emerging Cloud Sect who had been frightened into a stupor, disciples from the Impermanence Sect and the North Nether Sect couldn’t help but mutter to themselves, feeling a tingling sensation on their scalps.

Was this purple-robed young man really a disciple from a Third-Rate Power?

Since when had disciples of a Third-Rate Power become so audacious?

"Wyatt Barnes!"

As Camden Taylor, Qadir Adams, and Rey Jones were all startled by Wyatt Barnes’s actions, Rey Jones urgently shouted, intending to stop Wyatt Barnes from killing Riggs Leigh.

In his view,

once Wyatt Barnes’s sword struck, not only he himself would undoubtedly die, but even his associated Third-Rate Power, the Five Elements Sect, would also be doomed!

As a disciple of the Impermanence Sect, he was very clear.

The wrath of the ’Emerging Cloud Sect’ was no joke!

Should any disciple from a Third-Rate Power dare to kill one of their own, the outcome would be the same.

His own ’Impermanence Sect’ would spare no effort to annihilate that disciple from a Third-Rate Power, and then destroy that entire Third-Rate Power!

The dignity of a Second-Rate Power could not be offended by a Third-Rate Power.

In the eyes of those from a Second-Rate Power, people from a Third-Rate Power, and even the Third-Rate Power they belonged to, were mere ants, easily crushed.

"Hm?"

Hearing Rey Jones’s voice, Wyatt Barnes’s right hand shook, moving the sword away, but his left hand was not idle, and with a palm strike, he inflicted another heavy blow on Riggs Leigh, who was already seriously injured.

"Agh!!"

Riggs Leigh vomited another mouthful of blood, his pallor ghastly white and devoid of color, his body swaying, seeming as if he could fall from the sky at any moment.

Whoosh!

With a sweep of his left hand, Wyatt Barnes grasped Riggs Leigh’s throat, lifting him forcibly into the air.

Now, all it would take was a little effort from his hand, and Riggs Leigh would undoubtedly die!

While pinching Riggs Leigh’s neck and lifting him, Wyatt Barnes looked towards Rey Jones, his eyes reflecting a hint of puzzlement, "What’s wrong?"

"Wyatt Barnes, you can hurt this Riggs Leigh, but for heaven’s sake don’t kill him in a rash moment... If he doesn’t die, we can still talk things over. The moment he dies, not just you, but even your backing ’Five Elements Sect’ might be doomed as well!"

Rey Jones didn’t beat around the bush, but directly voiced his concerns.

His reason for saying all this was precisely because he considered Wyatt Barnes a friend and didn’t want to see him head down a path of no return.

"Five Elements Sect?"

Hearing Rey Jones’s words, Wyatt Barnes frowned and then let out a sigh, "I had forgotten... the Five Elements Sect, indeed, cannot handle the wrath of the ’Emerging Cloud Sect’."

Wyatt Barnes’s voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present.

For a moment, including Winnie Romero, almost everyone on scene thought that Wyatt Barnes would no longer kill Riggs Leigh.

"This Wyatt Barnes, he’s backing down after all."

"Naturally! The wrath of the Emerging Cloud Sect isn’t something he and the Five Elements Sect can bear."

...

Disciples from the Impermanence Sect and the North Nether Sect whispered to each other, not at all surprised by the outcome.

As for the two young disciples of the Emerging Cloud Sect, they couldn’t help but smirk with pride for a moment.

The deterrence of the Emerging Cloud Sect was immense, giving them pride in being disciples of the ’Emerging Cloud Sect’.

"Cough... W... Wyatt Barnes, you ultimately don’t dare to kill me! To... Today, whatever you’ve done to me, one day I’ll step on the Five Elements Sect and have you return everything tenfold, a hundredfold!"

Riggs Leigh, whose throat was grasped and lifted by Wyatt Barnes, humiliated to the extreme, glared at Wyatt Barnes with eyes filled with intense coldness, managing to speak through clenched teeth.

Yet, it seemed as if Wyatt Barnes hadn’t heard him at all, frowning intently as though contemplating something.

Finally, Wyatt Barnes came back to his senses.

"Today, I, Wyatt Barnes, hereby declare: from this moment forward, I, Wyatt Barnes, am no longer part of the Five Elements Sect! From now on, the affairs of the Five Elements Sect have nothing to do with me; and likewise, my affairs have nothing to do with the Five Elements Sect!"

Wyatt Barnes spoke.

As soon as he started speaking, he uttered words that shocked everyone present.

As Wyatt Barnes’s voice fell, silence enveloped the entire place.

What did this Wyatt Barnes want to do?

That was the thought in the minds of most people present.

"Brother Barnes..."

Winnie Romero was the first to react, realizing what Wyatt Barnes intended to do next, her pretty face filled with gravity.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, don’t be impulsive! Even if you leave the Five Elements Sect, the Emerging Cloud Sect, caring about their reputation, won’t take action against the Five Elements Sect... but you will have to endure the wrath of the Emerging Cloud Sect and face their pursuit! Offending the entire Emerging Cloud Sect over someone like Riggs Leigh is not worth it!"

Quickly, Rey Jones also came to a realization, his face changing once more as he anxiously advised.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

"Elder Brother Ling Tian!"

Brady Yellow, Walter Simmons, and Brian Graham, all looked towards Wyatt Barnes with worried expressions, fearful he would indeed kill Riggs Leigh and bring disaster upon himself.

"Your name is Riggs Leigh?"

Under the watchful eyes of all, Wyatt Barnes looked at Riggs Leigh and asked in a calm tone.

"Yes... yes, I am Riggs Leigh, the sole personal disciple of the Martial Emperor strongman of the Emerging Cloud Sect."

Riggs Leigh said each word distinctly, his hoarse voice full of arrogance, seemingly oblivious to the looming crisis.
