Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2223: Any Tom, Dick, or Harry

"I really misjudged."

Seeing Wyatt Barnes easily keeping up, Cody Yellow smiled bitterly at Wyatt Barnes and said, "I’m already going at full speed, and yet, Elder Brother Ling Tian, you can still keep up... this can only mean your strength far surpasses mine!"

"It feels like Elder Brother Ling Tian, you’re not much older than me, but your cultivation level is far above mine. It really makes me sweat with shame, even feeling like I want to hide... After all, I’m from the ’Sacred Wander Palace’, while Elder Brother Ling Tian, you’re just a loose cultivator."

As he continued speaking, Cody Yellow’s bitter smile deepened.

Although the Demon Cultivators who have received the Demon Race’s orthodox heritage can freely enhance their strength by consuming other demons’ essence blood energy, there are certain "bottlenecks" in this process.

And what directly affects the "bottleneck" is a Demon Cultivator’s innate talent!

The higher the talent, the greater the strength gained from a single swallowing of the demons’ essence blood energy.

The reverse is also true.

"Just lucky, had some fortunate encounters."

Wyatt Barnes said.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian is being modest."

Of course, Cody Yellow thought Wyatt Barnes was being modest.

After continuing to rush for a while more, the figures of Human Demon Clan members appeared more frequently in Wyatt Barnes’ view.

"We’ve arrived!"

After a while, when Wyatt Barnes saw a group of Human Demon Clan members stop, Cody Yellow’s voice also timely came, making him focus his gaze forward.

In front, there was a stone forest.

In the stone forest, various bizarre giant stones stood tall, the shortest being tens of meters, the tallest reaching over a hundred meters, even several hundred meters.

Even stones over a thousand meters in height stood there like towering trees.

Now, a crowd of Human Demon Clan members swarmed into the stone forest, disappearing in an instant, as though they hadn’t stirred even the slightest ripple.

"In the stone forest?"

Wyatt Barnes asked Cody Yellow.

"I heard so."

Cody Yellow nodded, his eyes gleaming as he said, "Let’s go! Let’s follow them and see."

"Okay."

Wyatt Barnes nodded in response.

Just as Wyatt Barnes was about to enter the stone forest with Cody Yellow,

three consecutive voices filled with sarcasm sounded timely from not far behind them:

"Oh? Isn’t that Cody Yellow?"

"With your measly cultivation, you dare come here and join the fun?"

"I advise you not to embarrass us, because if you do, it’s not just your dignity but the reputation of our ’Sacred Wander Palace’ you’ll be sullying!"

Accompanying the voices were three young men dressed in luxurious clothes similar to Cody Yellow’s.

They swiftly appeared in front of Wyatt Barnes and Cody Yellow, blocking their path.

At the same time, the three young men’s gazes all fell on Cody Yellow.

Their eyes were full of ridicule and mockery.

Seeing the three, Cody Yellow’s face immediately darkened, a trace of anger and apprehension flashing in his eyes.

"Who are they?"

Having his path blocked for no reason, Wyatt Barnes was naturally very displeased, but he still asked Cody Yellow through a sound transmission.

"They’re also disciples of Sacred Wander Palace, of the same generation as me. In the past..."

As Cody Yellow explained via sound transmission to Wyatt Barnes, Wyatts Barnes learned the sequence of events:

The three people before them were all spoiled brats who liked to toy with female disciples who had little background and weaker cultivation in the Sacred Wander Palace.

Because their elders were all high-ranking members of Sacred Wander Palace, no matter how much the female disciples fussed, they wouldn’t face any punishment.

Later, one time Cody Yellow couldn’t stand it anymore and taught them a lesson.

He then kept an eye on them, and if they dared act out, he’d rebuke them.

Because Cody Yellow’s background was stronger than any of the three, even though they had decent backgrounds, they couldn’t use their status to oppress Cody Yellow and had to grudgingly acknowledge his superiority, resenting him secretly.

An accident occurred, Cody Yellow was severely injured, his Saint Veins damaged, hindering his cultivation progression, and eventually, his power was surpassed by the three.

At this point, the three began their revenge on Cody Yellow.

Naturally apprehensive of Cody Yellow’s background, they didn’t dare to go too far, but verbal mockery on a daily basis was unavoidable.

"Spoiled brats?"

After hearing Cody Yellow’s sound transmission, Wyatt Barnes’s lips curled into a cold smile.

"Cody Yellow? This person beside you... is he your friend?"

Among the three youths in luxurious clothing, one let his gaze fall on Wyatt Barnes, revealing a bloodthirsty glean.

As he spoke, the other two also let their gazes fall on Wyatt Barnes.

Swoosh!

As the three looked at Wyatt Barnes, Cody Yellow’s expression inevitably changed, and he fiercely declared, "I don’t know him! He’s not my friend!!"

At that moment, Cody Yellow, speaking fiercely, was also a bit hysterical.

Meanwhile, his figure swayed and blocked Wyatt Barnes, glaring intently at the three people in front of him.

"Hahaha..."

The three young men in brocade clothing, upon hearing Cody Yellow’s cold shout and noticing his actions that seemed to conceal his intentions, couldn’t help but burst into laughter, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Cody Yellow, since he’s not your friend, we might as well kill him!"

"That’s right! Since you say he’s not your friend, let’s treat him as prey and have some fun killing him."

"Tsk tsk... Looks like we’re in for some fun today."

After suppressing their laughter, the three young men in brocade clothing shot a mocking glance at Cody Yellow, then turned their attention in unison to Wyatt Barnes standing behind Cody, their eyes like hunters locking onto their prey through the forest.

From their words, it was evident they intended to kill Wyatt Barnes!

Because Cody Yellow’s background was more powerful than theirs, even though his current strength was not as good as theirs, they dared not act against him lightly, resorting at most to verbal ridicule.

However, when it came to Cody Yellow’s friends, they had no such concerns!

So what if they killed him?

Would the high-ranking members of Sacred Wander Palace backing Cody Yellow really start a conflict with their own over an outsider?

"If you dare harm him, I’ll fight you to the death!"

Listening to the three people’s words, Cody Yellow’s gaze immediately turned ice-cold.

Although, until now, he and Wyatt Barnes couldn’t be considered friends, Wyatt had encountered this ’danger’ because he was on the road with him.

For this reason, at the same time as feeling guilt, he didn’t want anything to happen to Wyatt!

Otherwise, he would feel guilty for a lifetime!

"To the death?"

Upon hearing Cody Yellow’s words, the three young men in brocade clothing began to laugh again, "With just you, you think you’re worthy of fighting us to the death?"

"If it weren’t for the people behind you, Cody Yellow, we would have killed you a long time ago!"

"Cody Yellow, we don’t dare to touch you... but your friend here, we’re determined to act today!"

"Didn’t you say he’s not your friend? Today, whether or not he’s your friend, he’s dead!"

...

The three of them bantered back and forth, completely ignoring Cody Yellow’s threat, and were poised to kill Wyatt Barnes!

At some point, a number of Human Demon Clan members gathered around for the spectacle.

"Eh? Isn’t this the former genius ’Cody Yellow’ from Sacred Wander Palace?"

Soon, someone recognized Cody Yellow.

In the past, within the Human Demon Clan, ’Cody Yellow’ was somewhat of a celebrity, though not the top genius of Sacred Wander Palace’s younger generation, he was ranked in the top five.

"These three seem to be disciples of Sacred Wander Palace too... Tsk tsk, Cody Yellow really has fallen from grace. Any random nobody can bully him now!"

Among the crowd, an unknown Human Demon Clan member remarked.

The voice wasn’t loud, yet it spread around.

"Who?!"

Immediately, the three Sacred Wander Palace disciples, compared to ’random nobodies’, had a drastic change in their expressions. They looked around angrily, attempting to identify who called them ’random nobodies’.

Unfortunately, with so many people, they couldn’t identify anyone.

For a while, the surrounding Human Demon Clan members only dared to whisper like mosquitoes to those beside them:

"That young man in purple seems to be in trouble."

"Blame it on his association with Cody Yellow... Though Cody’s background is decent, it can only protect him. As for his friends, those people behind him won’t intervene to protect them."

"These three Sacred Wander Palace disciples clearly hold a grudge against Cody Yellow... The one behind him is doomed!"

...

The observing Human Demon Clan members looked at Wyatt Barnes with a hint of pity in their eyes.

Cody Yellow stood there, looking increasingly displeased.

Even though he knew Wyatt Barnes was stronger than him, he didn’t believe Wyatt could take on the three people in front of them all at once.

The three before them included two ’Fourth Transform Saint Immortals’ and one ’Fifth Transform Saint Immortal’.

After taking a deep breath, Cody Yellow sent a voice message to Wyatt Barnes, "Elder Brother Ling Tian, I’m sorry for dragging you into this... Here’s the plan, later I’ll hold them off while you quickly enter the ruins left by that Saint Markings Master. It’s said to be a labyrinth; once you’re inside, they definitely won’t find you!"

However, after delivering his message, he didn’t receive any response.

Whoosh!

As if a gust of wind had passed, Wyatt Barnes bypassed Cody Yellow, standing in front of him. His gaze calmly fixed on the three Sacred Wander Palace disciples.

Yet beneath this calm gaze, there was an intense, murderous intent!

Just as Cody Yellow’s expression drastically changed seeing Wyatt stand up.

"You want to kill me?"

Wyatt Barnes spoke, his voice as calm as his gaze, but if listened to carefully, it carried a penetrating chill.

Wyatt stepping forth and asking that question made the three Sacred Wander Palace disciples momentarily stunned.

"I ask you three random nobodies... do you intend to kill me?"

Seeing the three dumbfounded and slow to respond, Wyatt Barnes added another line.
