Chapter 1896: Chapter 1896: Counterattack
"Trash! If there is another life, remember well, when you encounter someone like me, you’d better walk around... Otherwise, no matter how many lifetimes you have, you’re destined for an early death!!"
Warren Yorke rushed like the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he was near Wyatt Barnes.
The contemptuous words were passed along, accompanied by a chilling three-foot sword.
Whoosh!
The three-foot sword cut through the air, instantly transforming into a seven-foot sword beam. Its chill penetrated all, carrying overwhelming power, seemingly able to pierce everything, shooting straight at Wyatt Barnes.
"Hundred-pattern Sacred Sword!"
Noticing the sharp aura emanating from the three-foot sword in Warren Yorke’s hand, and seeing the power it displayed, many recognized at first glance that this sword was a hundred-pattern sacred weapon.
If it weren’t a hundred-pattern sacred weapon, its power couldn’t possibly be so immense!
Swoosh!
At the same time, within a hundred-meter radius centered on Warren Yorke, the void rippled and then coalesced into a domain.
Within this domain, Wyatt Barnes could clearly feel a gravitational force enveloping him, pressing on his already severely injured state, causing his face to turn alternately pale and dark, and he coughed up a large mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound.
Apparently, Warren Yorke’s domain was a ’Gravity Field’!
"Wyatt, younger brother of mine!"
Seeing that Wyatt hadn’t moved and had already spat up blood, his face becoming even paler, Augustine Landon’s face changed dramatically, his eyes filled with rage, yet he was powerless, almost biting his teeth to pieces in frustration.
Oliver Watson’s face also changed instantly, eyes filled with worry.
"Die!"
Warren Yorke suddenly roared as his figure flickered, entering the gravity domain with lightning speed, walking as if on flat ground, unaffected.
This was his own domain, naturally it wouldn’t affect him.
In the blink of an eye, under the gaze of all, Warren Yorke, with a sword, walked within the domain like a sword god. The wrath of the sword god, blood splattered for thousands of miles, intending to kill Wyatt Barnes!
"This Wyatt Barnes is going to be killed."
"The gap is too big."
"Not in the same league at all."
...
Seeing this, many shook their heads and sighed, as if they could already see the scene of Wyatt Barnes being killed.
"Little bastard, daring to curse me! Consider yourself lucky, if I had done it myself, I would have made sure you died with no place to be buried!"
Maximus Lee looked at Wyatt Barnes, about to die under Warren Yorke’s sword, his eyes flashed with cold light, a sneer on his face.
Earlier, Wyatt Barnes had indirectly cursed him as an ’old dog,’ thoroughly enraging him.
If Wyatt hadn’t cursed him indirectly, but directly, he would have killed Wyatt instantly with thundering might!
Even though Wyatt cursed him indirectly, his anger was no less.
Now seeing Wyatt about to die under Warren’s sword, he naturally felt very relieved.
"Sigh."
Charles Thorn sighed, showing some reluctance in his eyes.
Even he didn’t think Wyatt could contend with Warren Yorke, and was already prepared to turn his head, not wanting to see Wyatt’s blood splatter three feet.
However, just as he was about to turn his head, the situation drastically changed.
"This... how is this possible?!"
Charles Thorn’s pupils constricted, looking in the direction of Wyatt and Warren with a face full of shock and disbelief.
"Impossible!"
Almost at the same moment that Charles Thorn’s pupils contracted, Maximus Lee’s face also changed drastically, showing disbelief, unwilling to believe that what was happening was true.
Under the gaze of Charles Thorn and Maximus Lee, a vortex quickly appeared centered on Wyatt Barnes’ body.
The vortex twisted, drawing the surrounding forces, nearly materialized, into his body.
During this process, Warren Yorke’s ’gravity domain’ directly collapsed!
Whoosh!
However, the collapse of the gravity domain didn’t affect the sword in Warren Yorke’s hand.
Even though the scene before him shocked Warren Yorke, he snapped out of it after a moment of pause and continued to exert force, the hundred-pattern sacred sword in his hand whistling out, aiming to decapitate Wyatt Barnes.
Swish!
In an instant, as fast as lightning, Warren Yorke saw a flash before his eyes, accompanied by a rapid, ear-splitting wind shriek, causing his eardrums to tremor slightly.
Clang!!
The next moment, a loud metallic collision echoed, directly bursting Warren Yorke’s eardrums, causing his ears to spurt blood.
However, before Warren Yorke could attend to his bleeding ears, he suddenly noticed a fierce vibration force coming from the hundred-pattern sacred sword in his hand, as if the sword had landed on something indestructible.
This vibration force not only shattered Warren Yorke’s wrist, it even transmitted into his body, rattling his internal organs, leaving him critically injured!
"Wow!!"
Warren Yorke’s body trembled, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of clotted blood, his head spinning, and his peripheral vision caught where the hundred-pattern sacred sword in his hand had struck.
There, a ghastly claw was stretched horizontally.
It was precisely this claw that blocked his hundred-pattern sacred sword.
At first, he thought it was some sacred beast or savage beast that helped Wyatt Barnes.
But when his gaze shifted upwards, he found that this claw, like a ’dragon claw’, was actually growing on Wyatt’s hand.
Whoosh!
Warren Yorke hadn’t had a chance to closely inspect the dragon claw on Wyatt’s hand before it vanished from his sight, replaced by a human hand.
At the same time, this hand shot out like lightning, grabbed Warren’s throat, and with overwhelming force suppressed Warren’s strength, strangling him and lifting him up.
"Cough... cough cough... cough... cough..."
With his power suppressed, Warren was unable to walk through the air. Being held by the throat and lifted up, his face quickly turned red, leaving him breathless, nearly suffocating.
"It seems that the one about to perish is not me!"
At this moment, a detached voice echoed; it was Wyatt Barnes, who had lifted Warren by the throat, speaking.
Wyatt stared icily at Warren, whose face was flushed red, without a hint of emotion in his eyes.
Just now, when the Holy Sword with a hundred patterns in Warren’s hand was about to strike Wyatt down, Wyatt made his move just in time.
He immediately utilized the advanced divine ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’!
With the divine ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’, although heavily wounded and unable to fully mobilize his solar true essence, he managed to elevate his solar true essence.
Though it couldn’t reach its peak state, it was more than sufficient to strike back against Warren!
At the same time, he transformed his right hand into a dragon.
Now, he could effortlessly transform into a ’nine-clawed Dragon Warrior’, and turning one hand into a dragon claw was the simplest of tasks.
Relying on the dragon claw and the solar true essence enhanced by Minor Devouring Technique, Wyatt easily intercepted Warren’s Holy Sword with a hundred patterns, facing no pressure whatsoever from start to finish.
Although the Holy Sword with a hundred patterns was strong, the problem was Warren’s strength was lacking; the late-stage Human Saint Realm martial artist driving the Holy Sword posed no threat to Wyatt.
With one swipe of the dragon claw, Wyatt not only intercepted Warren’s Holy Sword with a hundred patterns but also severely injured Warren!
This led to the scene that unfolded next.
"This... this... this..."
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"
"How is this possible?! Wasn’t he injured by Elder Maximus? How can he exhibit such formidable strength!"
"Isn’t he a martial artist at the peak of the Great Saint Realm? Even an injured martial artist at the peak of the Great Saint Realm, let alone one at their peak condition, would have this kind of strength?"
...
The onlookers were dumbfounded for a moment before coming back to their senses, showing astonishment and disbelief.
Many felt like their minds had stalled.
Who could explain to them what was happening?
How could a martial artist at the peak of the Great Saint Realm, even in a severely injured state, display such a powerful force, reverse the situation against a late-stage Human Saint Realm martial artist, and place the opponent’s life in his own hands?
They could see that now, if Wyatt wanted to, he could take Warren’s life at any moment.
"Brother Wyatt!"
Unlike the others’ shock and disbelief, Augustine Landon’s eyes brightened at the sight before him, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Freak!"
Oliver Watson stayed in a daze for a long time before slowly uttering these two words.
The strength Wyatt had shown just now shocked him as well!
He never imagined that, even after sustaining such severe injuries, Wyatt could display such formidable power, reversing the situation against Warren, the late-stage Human Saint Realm martial artist, and placing Warren’s life in his grasp.
"Release the Second Young Master!"
Meanwhile, the elderly man who had been following Warren couldn’t hold back any longer upon seeing Warren being strangled by Wyatt, his face showing agony.
With a shout, the old man swept towards Wyatt like a gust of wind, intending to rescue his family’s Second Young Master.
"Hmph!"
However, just as the old man was about to act, a thunderous cold snort rang out directly.
Bang!
Accompanied by the sound was a mighty and terrifying force that directly slammed the old man away.
"If you dare act wantonly again, you will undoubtedly die!"
Charles Thorn coldly glanced at the old man he had blasted away and warned with a chilly voice.
Instantly, the old man trembled with fear, his face turning pale.
The old man took a deep breath, casting his gaze immediately towards Maximus next to Charles, "Elder Maximus, you are a close friend of our family’s Fifth Elder, you must save the Second Young Master... The Fifth Elder only has two sons, and he especially dotes on the Second Young Master; if anything happens to the Second Young Master, he won’t be able to bear it."
Realizing he couldn’t rescue his Young Master himself, the old man quickly turned his plea to Maximus.
Upon hearing the transmission, Maximus’s already grim face grew even darker.
Let him save him?
How could he save him?!
The people present witnessed with their own eyes that Wyatt and Warren were engaged in a fair life-and-death duel.
If he shamelessly intervened, he could indeed save Warren.
But after that, he could forget about remaining in the Fire Worship Sect... because the sect couldn’t afford such disgrace!
