Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 747: Is Dad a ’Martial Emperor Powerhouse’?
Chapter 747: Chapter 747: Is Dad a ’Martial Emperor Powerhouse’?
The moment Brett Buckingham took a step forward, Wyatt Barnes also made a move.
Wyatt, whose right hand had originally been resting on his back, suddenly experienced a surge in his Origin Force. The mighty Origin Force wrapped around the ’talisman’ in his hand and was thrown towards Brett.
Whoosh!
Being inherently lightweight, even when filled with Origin Force, the talisman, when thrown out, held no real attacking power.
"Huh?"
Brett was surprised that Wyatt would take the first move. Just as his Origin Force was forming a defensive light shield around him, he saw a fluttering piece of paper heading his way.
For a moment, it fell on his defensive light shield, unsuccessfully trying to penetrate it.
"What is this?"
Brett frowned, this strange piece of paper with an unknown, haphazard scrawl on it was causing an inexplicable anxiety in his heart.
"Maybe I’m thinking too much, isn’t it just an ordinary piece of yellow paper?"
Brett shook his head, raised his gaze, re-aiming at Wyatt, and prepared to take Wyatt down.
As he shifted his gaze towards Wyatt, however, he noticed Wyatt’s eyes sharply focused on him. The intensity of Wyatt’s gaze sent a chill down his spine.
It wasn’t that he was scared of Wyatt. It was an uncalled sense of fear that he brought upon himself.
"Hmph!"
With a snort, Brett concealed his emotions, his face revealing a killing intent as he took another step forward.
Whoosh!
The Origin Force and advanced first level lightning realm released from his body agitated the air currents around him. Winds rushed out in every direction, creating a tumultuous scene.
"Strike!"
Just as Brett was about to wipe out Wyatt, Wyatt’s alarmed shout echoed through the air.
Brett subconsciously paused at the alarm.
At that moment, his pupils suddenly contracted. He watched as the unremarkable yellow paper before his eyes eerily vanished into thin air.
The next moment, he felt a sharp pain between his brows, his consciousness gradually blurred, until it finally disappeared.
Until his consciousness was obliterated completely, Brett had no idea what had happened.
In the distance, Wyatt Barnes, looking at the scene before him, stood stupefied.
With his shout of ’Strike!’, he noticed that the ’talisman’ he had thrown had disappeared into the air, almost at the same time, Brett’s brow developed a bloody hole.
Following the appearance of the bloody hole, the origin force in Brett’s body and the ’lighting realm’ wrapped around his origin force were completely obliterated, and his lifeless body collapsed to the ground, void of any signs of life.
"Is...is it solved?"
The scene before him left Wyatt Barnes dumbfounded for a moment.
It was only when Brett’s body started to fall that Wyatt snapped back to reality, hurriedly chasing after it.
Soon, he caught up with Brett’s body, and retrieved a fragment of a purple object from it, which was the ’advanced first level lightning realm fragment’ concentrated in Brett’s body.
Immediately afterwards, Wyatt took the ’Storage Ring’ off Brett’s hand.
After securing the spoils of war, Wyatt’s palm surged with purple-copper flames, immediately descending upon Brett’s body.
Instantly, Brett’s body was reduced to ashes in mid-air, scattering in the wind and disappearing from this world entirely.
With the spoils secured, Wyatt Barnes stood still on the spot, motionless.
At that moment, what filled his mind were the peculiarities of what had just happened:
A formidable being of the ’first Transforming Void Realm’ had so easily been eradicated by a ’talisman’ left behind by his cheap old dad.
The events reminded Wyatt of a dreamlike feeling.
"What kind of ’talisman’ was that? It was too unbelievable, right?"
Recalling everything, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but marvel in awe.
Earlier, he hadn’t clearly seen how the talisman had killed Brett.
He had only seen the talisman disappear and almost at the same time Brett’s brow, had been pierced by something, killing him instantly.
Of course, Wyatt Barnes knew in his heart that it was all the work of the ’talisman’. He just couldn’t capture the specific process of how the ’talisman’ had killed Brett due to his lack of strength.
The speed of the talisman was horrifyingly swift.
So much so, that Wyatt noticed — there was no disturbance in the air in the area where Brett had died.
What kind of speed could avoid influencing the air?
Or perhaps, the disturbance was so minuscule that he, with his current strength, couldn’t detect it at all.
For a moment, Wyatt Barnes felt chills run down his spine.
"Where did dad get these talismans from?"
Wyatt Barnes found himself smiling bitterly.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his adoptive father was so alien to him...
At the same time, his mind was filled with confusion.
"There is clearly no trace of Origin Force in my father’s body... Even if he is a Martial Emperor, if he does not resist my spiritual probing, I can usually sense his Origin Force. But I can be sure that there is no trace of Origin Force in my dad’s body."
About this, Wyatt Barnes was totally baffled, and he suddenly felt his foster father was becoming increasingly mysterious.
"It is impossible that dad doesn’t know the dangers of the world outside the Great Turdo Dynasty, yet he still left with mom and Valentina..."
Wyatt Barnes thought of his father’s departure, and the three talismans along with the mysterious delicate jade box his father left him, "Perhaps, during the twenty-three years of my father’s disappearance, some incredible things happened to him... At least, it can be confirmed now that he is definitely not a martial artist whose dantian is discarded!"
Upon arriving at this thought, Wyatt Barnes’s mind continued to drift.
The scenes of his father’s initial return, one by one, passed through his mind.
From seeing his father at the Barnes Residence for the first time, to their journey home together... And things that happened afterward, there was no omission.
"At that time..."
Wyatt Barnes continued to reminisce, and before he realized, he recalled the scenes when the Three Great Protectors, including Matias Dunn and Firey Don from the Green Forest’s three sects, descended upon the Imperial City of Crimson Heaven.
At that time, although Kinsley Cooper the Peak Master was there, she was no match for the three, including Matias Dunn.
At that time, to protect himself, he tricked the three, by claiming he knew the location of the ’millennial stalactite’, intending to leave with the three and then find an opportunity to escape.
Of course, it was risky. If he was not careful, he would definitely fall into the hands of the three.
But at that time, he had no choice.
However, just at that critical moment, a deep and hoarse voice suddenly came, and even before the owner of the voice showed himself, he effortlessly suppressed the three, leaving them breathless.
Later, under the mysterious powerhouse’s tactics, the three, although reluctant, had to flee.
At that time, Wyatt Barnes simply thought that the owner of the hoarse voice was a mysterious strong person hiding in the Crimson Heaven, who saved him out of contempt for the three.
"Now it seems, that mysterious powerhouse, is very likely to be ’dad’! I didn’t think about it from this perspective, and I ignored a key issue, which is that the owner of the hoarse voice, clearly spoke in a deliberately low voice, as if he did not want to expose his true identity."
Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help guessing, and the more he guessed, the more certain he became.
"At that time, dad must have been the one who stepped in at home... But, that power does not seem to be something a regular martial artist could wield."
When Wyatt Barnes thought of it, he began to rummage through his memories regarding ’Reincarnation Martial Emperor’.
Very quickly, his pupils contracted, confirming one thing.
"According to the memory of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor, only when one reaches the ’Martial Emperor Realm’, can one do that... Commanding the Origin Force from hundreds of meters away with the keen spiritual power for sound transmission, and suppressing people from a distance!"
Murmuring to the end, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but take a breath.
"Could it be that... dad is really a ’Martial Emperor’?"
Wyatt Barnes was completely stunned.
After a while, Wyatt Barnes finally came back to his senses. He recalled the scene when his cheap old dad ’Lanni Barnes’ first returned, "Maybe, the reason I didn’t detect any ’Origin Force’ in dad at that time was because he used some method to deliberately conceal it. After all, in the vast expanse of the Cloud Skies Continent, it is not unusual to have some secret methods that can conceal the Origin Force."
The more Wyatt Barnes thought about it, the more he was sure, and he couldn’t help but smirk, "It seems, I got totally fooled by dad."
Now, he could almost confirm that his father was very likely a strong person above the ’Martial Emperor Realm’.
"I wonder what dad encountered during those twenty-three years... resulting in him possessing such an astonishing strength! Also, he was able to leave those heavenly talismans for me."
Unconsciously, Wyatt Barnes had two talismans in his hand, the only two ’talisman’ left.
"No!"
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Wyatt Barnes shook his head with a frown, "If dad really is a ’Martial Emperor’... why didn’t he bring me to the ’outside territory’?"
"Is this a real dad? Simply leaving me alone to fend for myself in the Great Turdo Dynasty?"
By the end of his talking to himself, Wyatt Barnes was somewhat speechless.
Although, it was just his guess that his cheap old dad Lanni Barnes was a ’Martial Emperor’, he felt his guess was highly likely to be true.
Without his dad having an amazing strength, how did he dare to venture out of the Great Turdo Dynasty with his mother?
"Maybe, dad wants me to stay in the Great Turdo Dynasty for more experience... In the message he left on the sound condensation jade piece, he mentioned that we will meet again, probably in the outside world. What he meant should be ’outside territory’!"
Wyatt Barnes guessed to himself.
Upon thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes felt much better but still could not help but resent a little, "Dad was just mean... If he’s really a ’Martial Emperor’, shouldn’t he bring me out and let me show off in that ’outside territory’? Who dares to mess with the son of a Martial Emperor?"
"It’s fine if he didn’t bring me out... However, he didn’t leave me hundred or eight hundred thousand top-grade original stones, as well as the spiritual fruits that Martial Artists of the Cave Void Realm and the Transforming Void Realm need."
