Chapter 1834: Chapter 1834: Lanni Barnes Reveals Himself
It must be said, as a member of the Black Armored Guards, there wasn’t a single one who feared death.
Even when they realized the power of the person before them was greater than theirs, they showed no intention of retreating and continued to surround him.
In this regard, even Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but show a trace of respect in his eyes.
If it were someone else, after witnessing his superiority in strength, they probably would have either fled or begged for mercy...
Yet the nine Black Armored Guards before him, knowing they were outmatched, still charged forward, surrounding him in a fearless manner!
This iron-blooded scene also awakened the long-dormant passion within Wyatt Barnes, as if he had returned to the years of bloody battles in the underworld of his previous life!
The nine Black Armored Guards earned his respect.
"No wonder the ’Blackarmor Army’ of Mansion of Azure Clouds is so renowned, its reputation is well-deserved."
Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but praise.
"You seem to have some skill... However, deceiving us, even deceiving our House Master, and finally doubting Elder Honorston, is an unforgivable crime! Today, if we let you leave Mansion of Azure Clouds alive, it would be the Blackarmor Army’s incompetence!"
Finally, the centurion moved, directly charging into the encirclement of the Black Armored Guards, attacking Wyatt Barnes.
As a peak existence of the Great Saint Realm, the centurion’s strength was naturally impressive.
The moment the centurion charged, Wyatt Barnes could confirm that this Blackarmor Army centurion’s strength was much greater than East Dunn, the disciple of the Dunn Family in the Mysterious Void who died by his hand earlier.
He could even force out some of his techniques!
Swish!
The centurion’s weapon was a seven-foot spear, and when it pierced the air, it was like a flood dragon emerging from a cave, causing the void to stagnate slightly.
Around the seven-foot spear, the vast True Origin naturally formed a ’spiral force.’
This spear attack had the principle of an impact drill from Wyatt Barnes’ previous life on Earth, seeming to pierce through everything!
"Earth Dragon Drill!"
Simultaneously, with the centurion’s loud shout, the power on the seven-foot spear surged again, and the spiral force grew even stronger.
A single spear strike, aimed at Wyatt Barnes’ heart, faster than lightning.
"Try taking my sword strike!"
Just as the centurion’s shout finished, Wyatt Barnes also shouted.
Immediately, a sword appeared in his hand, entirely condensed from sun True Origin.
Swoosh!
The sword strike appeared simple, yet it was a reduction of complexity to simplicity, containing the profundities of the second realm of Supreme Heart Sword, and its speed clearly surpassed that of the centurion’s seven-foot spear by a few degrees.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
...
The sword in Wyatt Barnes’ hand collided precisely with the spear tip of the centurion’s seven-foot spear, their weaponry clashing for the first time in a probing manner.
After a round of clashing, the centurion was slightly inferior, prompting him to immediately channel his internal True Origin further into his seven-foot spear.
In an instant, the True Origin on the seven-foot spear escalated again!
But, when it came to ’last-ditch efforts,’ how could the centurion possibly compare to Wyatt Barnes, who possessed ninety-nine Saint Veins?
As Wyatt Barnes willed it, the vast sun True Origin within him flowed into the sword in his hand along the ninety-nine Saint Veins, emitting a clear sword hum.
"Don’t say I’m bullying you... The True Origin I’m using now is equivalent to the True Origin you’re using!"
At the same time, Wyatt Barnes spoke calmly.
And indeed, the intensity of the True Origin on the sword in his hand matched the intensity of the True Origin on the centurion’s spear.
Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ provocative words, the centurion was immediately enraged, his arms shaking, the seven-foot spear tilting forward, but he didn’t increase the True Origin on the spear further.
As a member of the Blackarmor Army, he was an upright and stalwart man; if he increased his True Origin now, it would make him seem inferior.
Moreover, he could tell that the opponent’s speed of True Origin deployment far surpassed his.
And judging by the opponent’s calm demeanor, it was clear that he had more tricks up his sleeve.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
...
The seven-foot spear trembled, and the spiral force formed by the surrounding True Origin rotated at an extremely fast speed.
At least, the surrounding nine Black Armored Guards couldn’t see the spiral force’s trajectory at that moment.
This showed how fast it rotated!
Swoosh!
Looking at the other side, Wyatt Barnes casually pointed out a sword strike, a reduction of complexity to simplicity, which to outsiders seemed like a simple thrust.
At least, to the nine Black Armored Guards, it seemed so.
"To dare underestimate the centurion, seeking death!"
"Asking for death!"
...
Each of the nine Black Armored Guards felt Wyatt Barnes was overconfident and certain to lose!
Only the centurion himself, faced with Wyatt Barnes’ seemingly simple sword strike, immediately felt a great threat, as if a sharp energy had locked onto him.
For a moment, the centurion’s expression became solemn.
History was repeating itself.
The sword tip and spear tip collided once more!
When it came to the confrontation of True Origin of little difference, by True Origin alone, it was indeed evenly matched.
However, the duel between the two wasn’t simply a pure clash of True Origin; it also contained the mysteries of martial arts techniques.
The centurion’s "Earth Dragon Drill" and Wyatt Barnes’s mysteries originating from the second realm of the "Supreme Heart Sword."
The outcome surprised the nine Blackarmor Guards.
Bam!
Accompanied by a loud noise, the man they thought was sure to lose stood in mid-air, motionless.
In contrast, their centurion was blown away, his face pale and a trace of dazzling blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Centurion Sir!"
Seeing this, the nine Blackarmor Guards’ expressions changed dramatically, immediately flying out to block in front of the centurion.
Each of them stared vigilantly at Wyatt Barnes, as if deeply afraid he would take the advantage and pursue relentlessly.
Meanwhile, their hearts were filled with shock.
That sword from the opponent was clearly just a simple direct thrust. How could it have destroyed their centurion’s "Earth Dragon Drill" with such overwhelming force!
Mind you, the centurion’s spear technique, "Earth Dragon Drill," was an attack technique within the top-grade Earth Saint Realm martial arts, and the centurion had cultivated it to near the highest realm.
Yet even so, their centurion was defeated!
"Your strength is formidable... However, there’s no one who can tease the people of the Mansion of Azure Clouds and leave alive!"
The centurion slightly eased his injuries, then his eyes flashed electric as he looked at Wyatt Barnes, raising his hand as a jade slip ascended into the air before exploding.
Immediately, a sharp and unpleasant sound resonated from the void.
Almost as the grating sound spread out, the lake surface in the distance began to ripple.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Figures riding on Savage Beasts burst forth from the water, closing in on Wyatt Barnes.
The people on the backs of these Savage Beasts were also Blackarmor Guards!
Meanwhile.
Unnoticed in the high sky behind the clouds, two figures stood one behind the other.
Their gazes easily pierced through the clouds, looking toward the sea surface.
"House Master, could it be the Junior House Master?"
The old man standing behind was none other than Asa Honorston, Elder Honorston.
And it was he who instigated the conflict below.
Of course, if one traces the roots, he was actually acting under orders.
"The silhouette looks very similar... Yet, this face is different! However, the aura around him clearly is my son’s aura."
The one standing in front was Lanni Barnes, the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds.
"This is indeed strange... He hasn’t changed his appearance."
Asa Honorston also found it odd.
Neither Lanni Barnes nor Asa Honorston had ever heard of a ’secret technique’ that could change one’s appearance with their own power and not be seen through by Divine Sense.
Precisely because of this, they didn’t think it was possible.
"However, this young fellow’s strength is quite impressive... Even among the peak martial artists of the Great Saint Realm, he could be considered one of the best! Beneath the Human Saint Realm, few are likely his match."
Asa Honorston added, not sparing any words of praise.
"Elder Honorston, bring him to the main hall... He must be my son, Wyatt Barnes!"
Lanni Barnes spoke to Asa Honorston before disappearing in the high sky as if he had never been there.
"Yet... There’s no trace of disguise on his face!"
Asa Honorston smiled bitterly; he had seen the portrait of their Junior House Master, and it was completely different from the ordinary young man before him.
How could their House Master say he was the Junior House Master?
What Asa Honorston didn’t know was that Lanni Barnes, regardless, was still Wyatt Barnes’s father.
Although the contact time was short, as a peak Earth Saint Realm existence, his sensing of certain auras was very keen.
Even though Wyatt Barnes had changed his face, Lanni Barnes was quite confident it was indeed his son!
High over the Coiled Dragon Lake, three more Blackarmor Army squads had appeared, totaling forty men along with the original squad.
"Haha... Peni Relief, you’ve been injured by someone, that’s rare."
The leader of one squad, also a centurion, looked at the centurion injured by Wyatt Barnes, laughing heartily, his tone filled with schadenfreude.
"Hmph! You should try yourself!"
When Peni Relief heard this, his face sank immediately, snorting coldly.
And just as everyone’s gaze fell upon Wyatt Barnes, the battle teetering on the brink.
Whoosh!
Like a gust of wind passing by, suddenly a venerable figure appeared before everyone.
Seeing this figure, all forty Blackarmor Guards bowed in salute, "Elder Honorston!"
"Hmm."
The one appearing was an elderly man who lightly nodded, his gaze falling on Wyatt Barnes, "Was it you who wanted to see our House Master?"
"Old man, did you fail to deliver my jade box to your House Master?"
Finding out the old man before him was Elder Honorston, Wyatt Barnes’s heart flared up with anger, asking furiously.
