Chapter 2927: Hit a Real ’Tough Nut’!

"You’re quite loyal."

Just as Leilany was enraged by the unabashedly intrusive gazes of eight out of the nine individuals standing before her, Wyatt Barnes calmly looked at the medium-built middle-aged man, who was addressed by the other eight as "Second Brother," and spoke indifferently.

At the same time, as Wyatt’s robe fluttered, he suddenly stood up.

In the next moment, he took a step forward, stepping through the air to come beside Leilany, naturally placing a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"Brother Wyatt, you... you’re awake?"

Since Leilany had been focused on the nine newcomers, she hadn’t realized that Wyatt had already awakened from his meditation.

"Yes."

Wyatt nodded with a smile, and then added, "It seems from now on, I should be the one to accompany you on our journey... Otherwise, on this path, we might continuously encounter some reckless nuisances!"

Wyatt looked at Leilany with a doting expression, speaking to her seemingly to himself, without even glancing at the nine others.

"Such calm eyes..."

Meanwhile, the medium-built middle-aged man’s mind was in turmoil, unable to recover for a long moment after being swept by Wyatt’s gaze.

He had seen similar eyes before.

However, such steady and pure eyes, devoid of any guilt, he had witnessed only a few times, and in those times, they belonged to those who completely controlled the situation.

Instantly, the middle-aged man’s heart trembled with an increasing sense of foreboding.

"It seems... this time, we’ve really hit a hard wall."

The middle-aged man thought to himself, considering persuading the other eight again, but after seeing their gazes upon the white-dressed woman, he dismissed the idea.

He knew well that his eight companions had become blinded by desire, and no persuasion would be of any use.

"Forget it... Last time, if not for the boss saving my life, I’d be dead already. This time, I’ll take it as repaying the boss."

If the middle-aged man had retained some hope before, Wyatt’s previous calm and unflinching gaze shattered that.

"Flies?"

"Did he... call us flies?"

"Is this kid asking for death?"

...

The other eight, upon hearing Wyatt’s words to Leilany, were all enraged.

The leading short middle-aged man’s eyes flared with indescribable fury as he looked at Wyatt, murderous intent rising rapidly from him.

"Kid, since you’re in such a hurry to die, I’ll oblige you!"

The short middle-aged man suddenly roared, then dashed out, heading straight for Wyatt’s location.

In the process, his Immortal Origin surged forth from him like a torrential flood, gathering in his hand, thundering towards Wyatt.

"Hmph!"

Though Wyatt didn’t regard the short middle-aged man’s attack seriously, the sudden assault still provoked a cold snort of dissatisfaction from him.

Following the cold snort, with a single thought, a beam of golden light enveloped Wyatt, swiftly forming into a golden Buddha’s phantom, enclosing him entirely.

"Immovable Wisdom King!"

Almost as soon as the golden Buddha’s phantom on Wyatt’s body took shape, the complexion of the short middle-aged man charging at him, along with the other eight, changed slightly.

"Immovable Wisdom King is a Monarch Level Immortal Method of the Crossing Region’s Joyous Zen Sect! Moreover, it’s a Monarch Level Immortal Method with both offensive and defensive capabilities!"

"Judging by this, the individual must have fully comprehended and mastered this Immortal Method to such proficiency!"

"Someone like this can easily record the Immortal Method into an Immortal Talisman for others to learn and master!"

...

Now, excluding the medium-built middle-aged man, the rest, including the short middle-aged man, were filled with greed.

Especially the short middle-aged man who charged at Wyatt, intentionally refrained from using his full power.

"Boss, go easy!"

"Boss, sparing his life could yield us a Monarch Level Immortal Method!"

...

When the short middle-aged man held back, the remaining seven, apart from the medium-built man, urgently called out.

Evidently, they feared that the short middle-aged man would kill Wyatt.

In their eyes, Wyatt had become a living, breathing Monarch Level Immortal Method!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

Even though the short middle-aged man intentionally held back, his attack still held considerable force, raging like thunder.

However, when that intense attack struck the surface of Wyatt’s golden Buddha phantom, it was as ineffective as a scratch, leaving no mark.

The golden Buddha phantom stood there, immovable like a mountain, as unbreakable as a fortress.

"No wonder it’s the Joyous Zen Sect’s Monarch Level Immortal Method, truly formidable..."

Unable to break through with his initial strike, the short middle-aged man failed to realize Wyatt’s true power, attributing it to the strength of the Immortal Method itself.

Immediately, he intensified his attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

Despite increasing the intensity, the short middle-aged man still couldn’t shake the golden Buddha phantom.

Confronted with this, the short middle-aged man further escalated his offensive.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

...

However, despite increasing his attack several times, the short middle-aged man still did not move the golden Buddha’s shadow in the slightest.

At this moment, the short middle-aged man finally realized something was wrong.

He glanced at the purple-robed youth, whom he hadn’t paid any attention to initially, only to see the other party looking at him with a faint smile, that indifferent gaze seemingly indifferent to everything.

"This... what’s going on?"

"Big brother... just now was already using almost all his strength, yet still couldn’t shake his defense?"

"Oh my god! This Monarch Level Immortal Method of the Joyous Meditation Sect is too powerful!"

"Is it only the Monarch Level Immortal Method of the Joyous Meditation Sect that is powerful? I think not necessarily... Even if any of us comprehends the Immovable King of the Joyous Meditation Sect to the extreme and masters it, I’m afraid it would still be difficult to easily resist big brother’s near-full strength strike like this, right?"

...

Now, of the remaining eight people, apart from the medium-built middle-aged man who seemed not surprised at all by the scene before him, the other seven’s expressions all changed.

"You’ve attacked me so many times... now, it’s my turn, isn’t it?"

Wyatt Barnes glanced indifferently at the short middle-aged man and said leisurely, "If you survive one strike from me, I’ll spare your life today!"

Swish!

Hearing Wyatt’s words, the short middle-aged man’s face instantly changed, "I..."

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but it was too late.

Whoosh!

Accompanied by a purple sword light like a shooting star, the short middle-aged man’s forehead was pierced through, and when the purple sword light appeared behind his head, it exploded violently.

Boom!!

Rumble!!

...

The void where the short middle-aged man stood trembled several times, and a bloody rain fell, leaving only a Storage Ring, which Wyatt Barnes raised his hand to collect.

To the others present, Wyatt’s strike was so fast that they didn’t see a thing.

They only heard a loud bang in their ears, followed by the short middle-aged man turning directly into a bloody mist, dead beyond measure!

"Alas..."

The medium-built middle-aged man sighed deeply, as if he had anticipated this outcome all along.

The remaining seven’s faces all changed dramatically.

The short middle-aged man was their leader and the only Immortal Lord among the nine of them...

Yet even so, he was killed in an instant.

Killed by the purple-robed youth who mastered the Monarch Level Immortal Method of the Joyous Meditation Sect, obviously executed in one blow!

With one strike, he killed an Origin Immortal Lord...

Such an existence is definitely above the ’Three Talents Immortal Lord’ even if he mastered the Monarch Level Immortal Method of the Joyous Meditation Sect.

"Just as Second Brother said... hit a snag?"

Just as the seven of them were looking at each other, pale-faced, their expressions suddenly froze.

Subsequently, they also followed in the short middle-aged man’s footsteps, slaughtered by Wyatt Barnes.

An Origin Immortal Lord was easily killed with a strike by Wyatt Barnes.

Let alone these mere seven peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals.

"You, collect their Storage Rings."

Just as the medium-built middle-aged man was waiting for Wyatt to kill him after killing his companions, Wyatt’s voice rang in his ear, rendering him utterly bewildered.

"What? Do you also want to die with them?"

Seeing the middle-aged man stunned, Wyatt glanced at him with interest and asked.

With Wyatt’s reminder, the middle-aged man immediately reacted and collected the Storage Rings almost falling to the ground from the seven who had died.

"Sir..."

After collecting the seven Storage Rings, the middle-aged man wanted to hand them over to Wyatt, feeling extremely apprehensive about how Wyatt would treat him.

However, he was slightly relieved.

From the current situation, the purple-robed youth seemed not to intend to kill him.

"You keep them."

Wyatt glanced indifferently at the middle-aged man and said.

Just as the middle-aged man was stunned by Wyatt’s words, a mighty aura suddenly extended from Wyatt without any warning.

Boom!!

Rumble!!

...

The aura currently emanating from Wyatt was that of the Immortal King level, completely different from when he had reserved his strength during his previous strike.

Bam!!

The aura instantly pressed on the middle-aged man, like a massive hammer striking his chest, causing his blood to surge and his consciousness to blur.

"Activate your cultivation methods and break through the bottleneck!"

Just as the middle-aged man’s consciousness blurred, Wyatt spoke with a detached expression, his voice condensing into lines that pierced directly into the middle-aged man’s ears.
