Chapter 1894: Chapter 1894: Another Life and Death Battle!
Everything happened in the blink of lightning!
No one expected that as soon as Maximus Lee made his move, he would attempt a kill, aiming to take Wyatt Barnes’s life.
"Elder Maximus Lee!"
Even Charles Thorn didn’t expect Maximus Lee to strike so viciously, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately tried to stop Maximus Lee.
However, his strength was somewhat inferior to Maximus Lee’s.
Additionally, Maximus Lee struck first.
Hence, although he timely intervened to rescue Wyatt Barnes, he could only block half of Maximus Lee’s power, leaving the other half to hit Wyatt Barnes.
Boom!
Although most of the power was weakened, for Wyatt Barnes, it was still nearly fatal, and when it struck him, he instantly felt heart-tearing pain.
After the pain, he was nearly unconscious!
"No... can’t pass out... can’t pass out!"
Wyatt Barnes tried hard to keep his consciousness, until his whole body felt nearly numb from the pain, and he barely managed to endure it.
After regaining clear consciousness, Wyatt Barnes was aware that he had survived.
Using the True Origin within his body to heal some of his injuries, Wyatt Barnes finally caught his breath, and looked at Charles Thorn with gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Elder Charles Thorn, for saving my life!"
"He didn’t die?!"
Seeing Wyatt Barnes hold on, both Maximus Lee, who attempted to kill him, and Charles Thorn, who timely saved him, were astonished.
"How is this possible?!"
Maximus Lee’s face was full of disbelief, he knew the strength of his own strike perfectly well.
Just from his attack, even if Charles Thorn reduced its power by half, the remaining half should logically be enough to kill anyone below the ’Saint Immortal Realm’, be they humans, Taoist cultivators, or demon cultivators.
However, this purple-clothed youth before him was still alive!
This was something he found unbelievable.
Maximus Lee found it unbelievable, and so did Charles Thorn.
Although he successfully blocked half of Maximus Lee’s power, even the remaining half was enough to kill any human Taoist cultivator, martial artist, or demon cultivator below the ’Saint Immortal Realm’, whose body hadn’t undergone immortal refinement.
"Could he not be human?"
Maximus Lee and Charles Thorn immediately extended their Divine Senses, probing Wyatt Barnes from head to toe, trying to confirm whether Wyatt Barnes was human.
Because it was nearly impossible for someone below the Saint Immortal Realm to withstand that strike and survive!
However, the result of the Divine Sense investigation confirmed Wyatt Barnes was indeed human.
"He truly is human... But how could his body be so strong?"
Soon, the investigation result showed Wyatt Barnes was purely human.
Yet, they also discovered Wyatt Barnes’s body was exceptionally strong, comparable to the body of an average Human Saint Realm Savage Beast, and the true form of a Human Saint Realm Sacred Beast!
In their view, this was something very incredulous.
However, the reality was right before them, which they couldn’t deny.
At that moment, they could only attribute this to Wyatt Barnes’s previous ’fortuitous encounters’.
Otherwise, his body couldn’t be so strong!
"If my body were any weaker, that strike just now would have surely killed me!"
At this moment, Wyatt Barnes also realized this.
He concluded that his survival was primarily due to his formidable body.
In that instant, when he was locked by Maximus Lee’s Qi, his body couldn’t move, and even his True Origin was hard to circulate.
Under such circumstances, he had no way of transforming into a ’Dragon Warrior’!
However, despite surviving, Wyatt Barnes was not lightly injured; his injuries were certainly heavier than Wake Yorke’s.
"Elder Maximus Lee’s palm strike was too ruthless just now! If Elder Charles Thorn hadn’t intervened, this young man would have surely died!"
"Indeed, judging by his injuries, you can tell how terrifying Elder Maximus Lee’s palm was! Even after Elder Charles Thorn’s intervention, the remnants of that palm strike nearly killed him."
"Elder Maximus Lee ultimately favored Warren Yorke... Yet, it’s understandable, since Warren Yorke is the son of his close friend!"
...
The people present gradually came to their senses, and suddenly the sky above the Black Tortoise Pavilion buzzed with noise.
More people, upon looking at Maximus Lee, revealed hints of apprehension in their eyes.
When Maximus Lee first appeared, he seemed open and fair, giving people an impression of impartiality.
However, his subsequent actions made them realize that not every Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Pavilion was like ’Charles Thorn’!
"Just now... I almost died! This Maximus Lee, having no grievance or hatred with me, just because of a slight conflict with Warren Yorke, aimed to put me to death?"
Wyatt Barnes raised his head, his gaze falling on Maximus Lee in the distance, his eyes burned with intense fury.
Aware of Wyatt Barnes’s gaze, Maximus Lee merely swept his eyes over Wyatt Barnes indifferently, then stopped looking at him, let alone acknowledging him.
Even though Wyatt Barnes’s body strength was extraordinary, in Maximus Lee’s eyes, Wyatt Barnes was just an ant, an ant he could trample at will!
Just now, if Charles Thorn hadn’t intervened, Wyatt Barnes would have died at his hands.
"Maximus Lee..."
Faced with Maximus Lee ignoring him, recalling the narrow escape from death, Wyatt Barnes’s heart was filled with raging fury, hating Maximus Lee to the core.
If I were given power stronger than Maximus Lee right now, even if it meant offending the Fire Worship Sect and risking being hunted down by them, I would kill Maximus Lee immediately!
However, right now, even if he uses the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’ and goes all out, he cannot kill Maximus Lee.
So, he can only endure...
Today’s endurance is for a better revenge tomorrow!
"Wyatt, are you okay?"
At this moment, Augustine Landon, having come to his senses, looked at Wyatt Barnes with a face full of worry.
Earlier, he never expected Maximus Lee to be so shameless, to the point of attempting to kill Wyatt Barnes, someone who hasn’t officially joined the Fire Worship Sect yet.
Oliver Watson also looked at Wyatt Barnes, though he didn’t say anything, his eyes were filled with deep concern.
"Elder Maximus Lee, even if he made a mistake, is it to the extent of deserving death?"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Charles Thorn looked gloomily at Maximus Lee and asked coldly.
"I know he’s not worthy of death... Earlier, it was just an accident, not intentional. Besides, it’s not like he’s dead yet, right?"
Facing the aggressive Charles Thorn, Maximus Lee’s expression remained unchanged, speaking indifferently.
Upon hearing Maximus Lee’s near shameless words, Charles Thorn was momentarily at a loss for what to say.
And the others present were also somewhat speechless, never expecting Maximus Lee to lie so brazenly!
"Accident? Not dead?"
Wyatt Barnes’s face darkened again; he never expected Maximus Lee to be so shameless, clearly intending to kill him but too cowardly to admit it.
"Since the two of you have accepted the punishment... then, today’s matter ends here!"
Maximus Lee glanced at Wyatt Barnes and then at Warren Yorke, who frowned upon hearing his words.
Next, he timely reminded Warren Yorke via transmitted sound.
Upon hearing Maximus Lee’s reminder, Warren Yorke relaxed his frowned brow, immediately looking at Wyatt Barnes, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
"Elder Charles Thorn, you have no objections, right?"
Maximus Lee looked at Charles Thorn and asked.
Charles Thorn shook his head; at this point, what opinions could he have?
Moreover, those who should be punished, he had punished.
"Elder Maximus Lee!"
Just as Charles Thorn shook his head, Warren Yorke immediately looked at Maximus Lee and said seriously: "Today, I wish to challenge someone to a ’life and death battle’... I hope Elder Maximus Lee can become the witness of this life and death battle, witnessing the life and death battle between him and me!"
Life and death battle!
Upon hearing Warren Yorke’s words, everyone present instinctively looked at Wyatt Barnes.
Then, their gazes began to shift between Wyatt Barnes and Warren Yorke.
They saw Warren Yorke, whose injuries were nearly recovered, and also the heavily injured, pale as paper Wyatt Barnes.
"This Warren Yorke is really shameless!"
Immediately, many people cursed under their breath.
The cursing was one-sided.
At this moment, for Warren Yorke to initiate a ’life and death battle’ and have Maximus Lee as a witness... they didn’t need to think to guess that Warren Yorke’s target was definitely Wyatt Barnes, who was left with only half a life from Maximus Lee’s injury.
"Shameless! Truly shameless!"
"This Warren Yorke, does he want an unfair victory?"
"Don’t rush! The matter isn’t settled yet... Even if Warren Yorke initiates a life and death battle, the opponent must agree first! If they disagree, regardless, at least within the Black Tortoise Altar, neither Warren Yorke nor Maximus Lee can touch this young man a bit."
...
After a round of discussions among those present, they didn’t think that Wyatt Barnes would agree to the life and death battle initiated by Warren Yorke.
In their view.
Not to mention whether or not Wyatt Barnes in his prime could be Warren Yorke’s opponent, right now, heavily injured Wyatt Barnes, unless seeking his own demise, would surely not agree to the life and death battle initiated by Warren Yorke.
"Let me be the witness? Of course!"
Maximus Lee readily agreed, then asked: "Who do you want to challenge to a life and death battle?"
As Maximus Lee inquired, Warren Yorke’s gaze immediately fell on Wyatt Barnes, "Trash! Do you dare to engage in a life and death battle with me, Warren Yorke?"
Although everyone present had already guessed that Warren Yorke would initiate a life and death battle with Wyatt Barnes, when they truly saw Warren Yorke initiate a life and death battle and call Wyatt Barnes ’trash’ to provoke him.
They couldn’t help but secretly curse: "Shameless! This Warren Yorke is too shameless!"
"How can there be such a shameless person in the world!"
Some cursed quietly, naturally, some cursed out loud, including Augustine Landon.
"Wyatt, you don’t have to pay him any mind! This idiot only dares to challenge you to a ’life and death battle’ when you are injured!"
Augustine Landon reminded Wyatt Barnes, fearing Wyatt would agree.
"Focus on healing... You don’t even need for your wounds to completely recover, just recover a bit more, and killing him would be as easy as slaughtering chickens or mowing grass!"
Oliver Watson also said.
Next, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Wyatt Barnes suddenly narrowed his eyes, his gaze piercing through the slit, landing on Warren Yorke, with a slightly hoarse voice he asked:
"You, challenge me to a ’life and death battle’?"
