Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1630: Black Clouds Over the Mountain

"Junior Brother, since you’ve already announced your departure from the Swayer Family, there’s no need for you to fight tomorrow."

In Trevor Baillie’s eyes, Wyatt Barnes was no longer an outsider, so he bluntly said, "That Kash Lynch, as the strongest on the ’Heavenly Ranking’, has strength that is recognized by the entire Anderson Manor in Ridge South... Moreover, knowing roughly your full capabilities, he still dares to fight you, clearly he’s prepared!"

"If you face him in a life-and-death duel, you’ll be at a disadvantage."

Trevor Baillie said with a serious expression.

"Indeed, Wyatt, while reputation is important, it pales in comparison to life and death... Besides, you can wait until you break through to the Saint Realm, then challenge Kash Lynch again and defeat him to redeem yourself. Even if some say you fear Kash Lynch now, once you defeat him later, everyone will naturally see you as stronger than him."

Handmi Holland chimed in.

"Young Master, although I don’t know how that Kash Lynch’s strength compares to yours, I also think you should not go tomorrow."

Fill Bear added.

Soon, Enzo Hawkins, Kamari Gold, and the Nangle brothers all joined in, echoing the sentiments of Trevor Baillie and the others, advising Wyatt Barnes against it.

"Don’t worry. If I wasn’t confident, I wouldn’t have accepted Kash Lynch’s challenge! Below the Saint Realm, I’ve never feared anyone."

Facing their counsel, Wyatt Barnes simply smiled confidently.

Seeing their persistent concern, Wyatt Barnes continued, "You’ve all watched me come this far... Do you really think I’m the kind of person who would court death? If I were, would I still be alive and standing here?"

As he spoke, Wyatt Barnes shook his head.

The words left Trevor Baillie and the others silent.

Reflecting carefully, it seemed Wyatt Barnes never recklessly courted death along his journey.

Perhaps many times they had doubts about Wyatt Barnes.

But every time, Wyatt Barnes would surprise everyone, leaving them in awe.

Thinking of this, and sensing the strong confidence emanating from Wyatt Barnes, they all collectively let go of their worries.

"Then tomorrow we’ll watch you defeat Kash Lynch."

Demetrius Nangle laughed.

"Indeed! We want to see how the top of the ’Heavenly Ranking’ falls at your hands."

Handmi Holland added.

With Wyatt Barnes’ reminder, their mindsets underwent a complete transformation in an instant, all filled with confidence in Wyatt Barnes.

"Mhm."

Wyatt Barnes nodded with a smile, though he said nothing, the confident smile on his face said it all.

Without further disturbing Wyatt Barnes, Trevor Baillie and the others bid farewell and left, returning to their respective residences.

Wyatt Barnes also returned to his room.

However, he did not enter the Jewel Tower to cultivate, but instead sat cross-legged on the bed in his room.

"How should I progress to the second realm of the ’Supreme Heart Sword’?"

Wyatt Barnes murmured to himself, a hint of confusion between his brows.

Although he had fully grasped the content of the ’Supreme Heart Sword’ and had long entered its first realm, he felt a considerable distance from the second realm.

He knew roughly what the second realm entailed, but entering it was exceedingly difficult.

During the year he spent in the third layer of the Jewel Tower, he often pondered over it, ultimately concluding that a cutting point was needed to enter the second realm of the ’Supreme Heart Sword’.

As long as he found the cutting point, he could step into the second realm of the ’Supreme Heart Sword’ at any time.

Yet even after contemplating for half the night, he couldn’t come to a conclusion as night fell and quickly passed.

Only when dawn broke the next day did Wyatt Barnes stretch and come to his senses, smiling wryly, "Still no solution... It seems I’ll need an opportunity to find that cutting point. I really hope it comes soon, as that would elevate my strength to another level."

Considering his progress over the past three months, Wyatt Barnes felt quite satisfied.

"The top of the ’Heavenly Ranking’? Even before I secluded myself for cultivation, I didn’t fear you... let alone now! If you seek death, I’ll oblige, and you won’t have to return to Anderson Manor in Ridge South."

Recalling the life-and-death duel at noon today, Wyatt Barnes squinted, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"That Kash Lynch, it seems he’s a direct descendent of a sixth-rate family from Anderson Manor in Ridge South... I’m curious, once he’s killed in Fletcher Kingdom, how will King Archer face that family’s wrath? Although the sixth-rate families of Anderson Manor may not match the Fletcher Kingdom’s Imperial Family, they’re not far behind either."

At some point, a cold smile played at the corner of Wyatt Barnes’ mouth.

Since King Archer wanted him dead, he’d let King Archer taste the bitter fruits of his own making!

In the early morning, Wyatt Barnes stepped out of his room and found Beau Swayer dining in the courtyard.

"Mr. Barnes, you’re up so early? Aren’t you cultivating?"

Beau Swayer was somewhat surprised to see Wyatt Barnes, as he thought that in anticipation of today’s life-and-death duel, Mr. Barnes would remain in his room cultivating right until the duel was about to begin.

But Wyatt Barnes’ appearance, and his calm demeanor, made him realize he’d misjudged. freёweɓnovel_com

Facing the top expert ’Kash Lynch’ from Anderson Manor in Ridge South, Mr. Barnes appeared extremely composed. His calmness made some think that Mr. Barnes might be confident enough to defeat or even kill that expert ’Kash Lynch’ from Anderson Manor.

However, after a moment’s thought, he dismissed that notion.

Kash Lynch, the top expert of Anderson Manor and the number one on the Heavenly List from Ridge South, wasn’t someone easy to deal with. Since he dared to have a life and death duel with Wyatt Barnes, he must be confident as well.

Otherwise, who would seek death without reason?

Seeing Wyatt Barnes sit down, Beau Swayer quickly instructed the maid to prepare another breakfast.

Watching Wyatt Barnes eat breakfast with an indifferent expression, Beau Swayer couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Mr. Barnes, you’re going to have a life and death duel with that Kash Lynch at noon today... Aren’t you worried at all?"

"Worried about what?"

Wyatt Barnes asked in return.

Wyatt’s words left Beau Swayer at a loss for how to respond.

Wyatt’s confidence made it hard for him to find words.

Honestly, he hoped that Mr. Barnes would survive today’s life and death duel and become the final victor... But when he thought of Kash Lynch, his hopes seemed to turn to desperation.

In his view, Wyatt’s confidence was probably because he hadn’t realized how formidable Kash Lynch was.

"Oh well... At most, if Mr. Barnes is in danger, I’ll have Lord Crawford intervene. As long as Mr. Barnes is unharmed, I’ll bear the criticism alone."

Beau Swayer murmured in his heart.

He had a plan, a crazy plan.

As long as Kash Lynch tries to kill Wyatt Barnes at noon today, he would have Jordan Swayer intervene to save Wyatt.

Of course, doing so would certainly bring about criticism.

And he had already planned to claim it was his request for Jordan Swayer to intervene, claiming the whole affair had nothing to do with the Swayer Family.

However, Beau Swayer seemed to have completely forgotten that while he could have Jordan Swayer intervene, surely there would be Saint Realm experts from King Archer’s side prepared as well?

As the saying goes, ’Care leads to confusion,’ and Beau Swayer was clearly in such a state now.

Time quietly passed, and midday soon arrived.

Led by Micah Swayer, a group from the Swayer Family left their mansion and the Capital City, departing through the North Gate heading north.

After leaving the Capital City, the group rose into the air, traveling by air.

Among the Swayer Family group, Trevor Baillie and others were notably present.

Now, Trevor Baillie was an Honorary Minister of the Swayer Family, and as a ’three-star Saint Markings Master,’ he had gained recognition from everyone in the Swayer Family.

Therefore, even if Wyatt Barnes was not present with the Swayer Family, with Trevor Baillie there, Enzo Hawkins and others could live comfortably.

Actually, even without Trevor Baillie’s status as a three-star Saint Markings Master, they could live freely in the Swayer Family, because Taoi Romero, the father of Miss Romero from the Floating Flame Sect, was someone the Swayer Family absolutely had to consider.

"Where is Wyatt Barnes?"

Handmi Holland looked left and right but did not see Wyatt Barnes anywhere.

"I didn’t see him since morning; not sure where he went."

Demetrius Nangle also looked around, shaking his head.

"Mr. Barnes had breakfast with me this morning, and then left first... According to him, since he is no longer our Swayer Family’s Honorary Minister, it’s better for him to go to North Mansfield Mountain alone."

Beau Swayer came forward with a wry smile.

"So, he should already be at North Mansfield Mountain by now."

Handmi Holland and Demetrius Nangle seemed to realize.

North Mansfield Mountain is located tens of thousands of miles north of Fletcher Kingdom’s Capital City.

Tens of thousands of miles, for ordinary people, is a colossal distance.

But for the Swayer Family group, even for Handmi Holland and others with the weakest cultivation, this distance is not far.

Even when considering the weakest among them, the group quickly arrived at North Mansfield Mountain.

"So many people!"

However, upon arriving at North Mansfield Mountain, they were all startled by the dense crowd of people in the sky above.

The sky over North Mansfield Mountain was filled with people, resembling dense clusters of black clouds pressing down on the mountain.

"People from the Capital City started heading to North Mansfield Mountain yesterday, all wanting to find a good place to watch the battle."

Beau Swayer explained, "Besides people from the Capital City, even those from nearby areas who got the news rushed to North Mansfield Mountain overnight... But now they’re crowding the entire sky above the mountain, how will Mr. Barnes and Kash Lynch fight? Haven’t they thought of this issue?"

Looking at the crowded sky above North Mansfield Mountain, Beau Swayer shook his head.
