Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1535: A Battle Without Gunpowder

"I’ve only been here twice, and it’s been three years since the last time... It’s normal for my memory to be a bit fuzzy."

Wyatt Barnes casually replied to Emperor End.

After exchanging a few words with Emperor End, Wyatt Barnes suddenly exclaimed, "That’s right! This is the place."

From his tone, it seemed as if he had discovered a new continent.

And Emperor End’s attention was successfully drawn to him.

Emperor End watched as Wyatt Barnes walked into a cluster of seaweed, inexplicably raised his foot, and stamped it down onto the seabed.

Boom!!

With a loud bang, centered at the spot where Wyatt Barnes stamped, a clear shock wave rippled through the water, causing the seawater to surge in all directions before finally calming down.

However, Emperor End’s attention was not on this disturbance.

His gaze was fixed on the distance, where a giant tower had appeared out of nowhere, shaking the surrounding seawater away as it emerged.

The seawater crashed against the True Origin shield around Emperor End’s body, constantly dispersing, but Emperor End paid no attention to these as his gaze was entirely captivated by the appearance of that giant tower in the distance.

The tower had seven layers, standing like a giant beast.

The most important thing was that Emperor End could clearly sense the aura emanating from the tower.

This aura gave him a profound sense of mystery, even causing an inexplicable trembling from the depths of his heart.

"It’s this tower."

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes spoke, "Back then, when Emperor Yonah and I entered, we didn’t dare venture deeper... However, even so, we found many divine artifacts etched with Three-Star Saint Markings on the outskirts."

"The places we’ve been seem to be just the ’outskirts’ of this tower, not deeper inside... At that time, Emperor Yonah told me there might be more treasures inside."

Wyatt Barnes said to Emperor End.

"Do you know the origin of this tower?"

Emperor End asked.

"I do."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, "When Emperor Yonah and I entered just a short while, we discovered some relics... Various signs indicated that the one who left this tower was named ’Breezy Wind.’

"By the way, his signature claimed to be some ’Sword Saint.’

As he spoke, Wyatt Barnes added.

Breezy Wind?

Sword Saint?

"Sword Saint Breezy Wind!"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Emperor End’s pupils suddenly contracted, showing an expression of horror, "Are you... Are you sure that person left this signature?"

"I’m sure."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, meanwhile, he asked in puzzlement, "Could it be that you know him?"

Faced with Wyatt Barnes’ inquiry, Emperor End did not open his mouth. His emotions were surging, and his eyes gleamed with a vibrant light as he stared fixedly at the seven-layer giant tower in the distance.

"Sword Saint Breezy Wind... To think it’s the relic left by Sword Saint Breezy Wind! It is said that Sword Saint Breezy Wind was once the top powerhouse in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, and in his era, none across the three sects and nine clans of the Martial Dao Sacred Land could withstand a single strike of his sword."

At this moment, Emperor End’s heart was beating rapidly, and his excitement was difficult to suppress.

He wasn’t surprised that Wyatt Barnes didn’t know about Sword Saint Breezy Wind.

Because even he had only seen records related to Sword Saint Breezy Wind in some ancient texts of the Dragonsmith Clan, learning that he was a sword cultivator of unparalleled talent, who amazed an era of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

It is rumored that Sword Saint Breezy Wind left some ’relics’ in the Martial Dao Sacred Land for the destined ones of later generations.

"Could it be that this place is the rumored relic left by Sword Saint Breezy Wind?"

Emperor End’s eyes shone brightly as he stared at the seven-layer tower, just like a hunter who had spotted his prey.

"It seems he has heard of Sword Saint Breezy Wind."

Seeing Emperor End’s expression, Wyatt Barnes breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Proven, his gamble paid off.

Since Emperor End knew of Sword Saint Breezy Wind’s existence, and after his explanation, it seemed unlikely he would see through the ’trap’ set for him.

This ’trap’ was a temporary setup by Wyatt Barnes, upon Elder Fire’s suggestion. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

In essence, this ’trap’ was simple: to lure Emperor End into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and let Elder Fire deal with him.

Elder Fire’s prowess had recovered considerably, though far from his peak period, but judging by Elder Fire’s demeanor, his strength now was evidently not weaker than Emperor End.

This ’trap,’ while simple to say, was actually fraught with difficulties in execution.

The most critical part was to make Emperor End believe him, thus not resisting the pagoda’s pull, allowing the pagoda to ’draw’ him in.

If he showed any hint of reluctance or vigilance, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda would be unable to draw him in.

And once he didn’t enter the pagoda, the ’trap’ would collapse by itself, leaving Wyatt Barnes’ situation perilous once more, possibly leading to certain death.

Just now, on the way here, Wyatt Barnes was thinking about how to make Emperor End believe his words, so that he would willingly allow himself to be ’absorbed’ into the Jewel Tower.

To achieve this, he even spoke off the cuff, saying that Emperor Yonah’s death was also related to the Jewel Tower.

Moreover, he mentioned that there was a treasure hidden inside the Jewel Tower.

All of this was to lure the enemy deeper in.

In order to make his words more convincing, he thought it over, and mentioned the Sword Saint Breezy Wind, gambling on whether Emperor End had heard of him.

Now it seems he has won the gamble.

Emperor End does indeed know of the Sword Saint Breezy Wind.

"You just said that after you entered this tower, you discovered many holy artifacts engraved with three-star Saint Markings on the periphery?"

Emperor End looked at Wyatt Barnes, his eyes flashing, and asked in a deep voice.

Emperor End was being cautious in his words.

Silently cursing Emperor End for being so cautious, Wyatt Barnes did not hesitate and raised his hand, taking out the personal holy artifact of the Moon Radiance Sect inner elder ’Abu Dunn,’ and handed it to Emperor End. "This is the holy artifact I got from inside then... The holy artifact has one three-star Saint Marking and two two-star Saint Markings."

After observing the holy artifact handed over by Wyatt Barnes for a moment, Emperor End nodded, "There are indeed three-star Saint Markings... But is this really what you obtained from inside the tower?"

Even though Wyatt Barnes proved it with facts, Emperor End remained cautious.

The Dragonsmith Clan is inherently a suspicious group.

As a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon of the royal bloodline of the Dragonsmith Clan, Emperor End is naturally more suspicious than other members, with few able to deceive him.

"A person like me coming from a mortal continent, do you think it’s possible to get this holy artifact engraved with three-star Saint Markings from elsewhere?"

Upon hearing Emperor End’s words, Wyatt Barnes smirked self-deprecatingly.

Of course, this was all just an outward show, internally he felt slightly uneasy, not expecting Emperor End to be so cautious.

Even though he had mentioned Sword Saint Breezy Wind, Emperor End still did not fully believe him, consistently appearing calm and careful.

Naturally, Wyatt Barnes knew in his heart that at this moment, he must remain calm and absolutely must not be hasty.

Once he shows a flaw, he loses everything!

When Emperor End asked that question, his gaze locked onto Wyatt Barnes, observing the subtle changes on his face, and when he saw that Wyatt’s self-deprecation didn’t seem fake, he nodded silently.

Wyatt Barnes’ background, which he had thoroughly investigated during his time on Crescent Island.

"Even my cultivation level owes much to a kind of ’herb’ inside this tower... At that time, both Emperor Yonah and I consumed that herb, afterwards my cultivation improved greatly, Emperor Yonah’s improved greatly too. Three years ago, after consuming the herb, his cultivation reached Small Perfection in the Entering the Saint Realm."

"If he were still alive now, he would surely have reached the Saint Realm."

As he continued, Wyatt Barnes sighed again.

"No wonder your cultivation has improved so rapidly."

Giving Wyatt Barnes a deep look, Emperor End couldn’t help but show a shade of greed in his eyes.

That kind of magical herb moved him too, and perhaps, it would help him.

Wyatt Barnes’ ’background,’ he had thoroughly investigated before, knew Wyatt’s cultivation before leaving Crescent Island, and it had not even broken through the Transcending Mortal Realm.

Three years ago, a martial artist from the mortal continent who hadn’t broken through the Transcending Mortal Realm, three years later, breaks through to Small Perfection in the Entering the Saint Realm.

Upon first meeting Wyatt, even Emperor Yonah found it unbelievable.

But the facts lay before him, and he couldn’t help but believe it.

At that time, he had speculated that Wyatt Barnes might have undergone some ’unusual experience.’

Now it seems that the seven-layer giant tower was his unusual experience.

Now, Emperor End’s doubts in his heart had also diminished considerably.

Of course, this was because, until now, Wyatt Barnes had not shown any flaws.

Every word Wyatt Barnes said was guiding the flow of things, as if answering each of Emperor End’s ’questions’ in his mind.

Of course, these questions were something Emperor End hadn’t voiced; it was all Wyatt’s speculation.

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes and Emperor End were engaged in a battle without smoke, a contest of wits.

"It’s a pity that although there are many of those herbs, Emperor Yonah and I found that only consuming the first is effective... For this, we wasted no less than ten herbs. When I left, there were less than ten herbs remaining within."

Seeing a flicker of greed flash through Emperor End’s eyes, Wyatt Barnes continued to guide the flow.

Sure enough, hearing his words, Emperor End’s eyes lit up, silently cursing ’wastrel.’

If initially, when Emperor End first arrived at Crescent Island, he was nearly irrational, killed everyone on the island to vent his anger, making them pay for his son’s death.

Later, however, he calmed down, and when discovering Taoi Romero and the others returning to Crescent Island, he didn’t strike against them.

For nearly a year, patiently staying hidden and waiting.

At that time, he had regained his sanity, wholeheartedly intending to uncover the truth about his son’s death.

Of course, if his son was murdered, he would not let the perpetrator live.
