CHAPTER 1698: CHAPTER 1698: THE DEATH OF PEACE ADAMS

Originally, Peace Adams’ face was tense after witnessing Wyatt Barnes’ strength, but upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, his face sank.

The indifferent tone of the other party made him very displeased.

After all, up to this point, he was the one with the absolute upper hand.

And not only did Peace Adams think this, but everyone present, including DonovanTasker, Castiel Mullins, and Serene Adams, also thought so.

However, none of them knew.

This was exactly what Wyatt Barnes wanted.

Noticing a trace of disdain in Peace Adams’ eyes again, Wyatt Barnes knew he had achieved his goal.

In his earlier move, he didn’t exert his full strength.

The purpose was to lure Peace Adams into complacency.

Thus, he was confident he could take out Peace Adams before he admitted defeat.

Although Peace Adams was extremely arrogant, if he realized Wyatt Barnes’ strength far exceeded his own, he would surely put aside all his pride for the sake of his life and admit defeat.

That was not what Wyatt Barnes wanted to see.

So, as Wyatt Barnes and Peace Adams clashed again, Wyatt Barnes still wielded the same strength as earlier in their duel, and for a moment, naturally fell into a disadvantage, appearing somewhat embarrassed.

Upon seeing this, the crowd of Loose Cultivators held their breath for Wyatt Barnes.

"This Eden Lee is obviously no match for Peace Adams; why hasn’t he admitted defeat yet?"

"Yeah. Does he think he can still defeat Peace Adams? This way, he’ll sooner or later be killed by Peace Adams."

"If it were me, I would have admitted defeat for sure... This Eden Lee, does he think his pride is more important than his life?"

...

The crowd of Loose Cultivators worried themselves over Wyatt Barnes, unaware that the person involved was actually enjoying the ’game’.

At this moment, even DonovanTasker and Castiel Mullins couldn’t help but sweat in anxiety for Wyatt Barnes.

"Junior House Master, kill him!"

Just then, among the group from Sky-scraping Mansion, someone shouted, and instantly, others joined in the shout.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

...

The group from Sky-scraping Mansion shouted loudly, and their voices reached Peace Adams, temporarily making him feel somewhat light-headed.

While feeling light-headed, there was a cold gleam in Peace Adams’ eyes as he looked at Wyatt Barnes, and he murmured to himself: "The game is also about time to be over!"

With a thought, Peace Adams’ offensive grew even more ferocious.

Realizing this, a flicker of light flashed deep within Wyatt Barnes’ eyes, imperceptible to others.

His opportunity had finally arrived!

Seeing Peace Adams control the wind dragon to attack, Wyatt Barnes appeared flustered and hurriedly retreated.

"Still trying to escape?"

Seeing Wyatt Barnes’ expression and actions, Peace Adams showed a bit of disdain, and his figure flickered as his speed increased.

Roar!!

Like a true dragon emitting dragon roars, Peace Adams merged strength formed from True Origin with domain, martial arts techniques turning into the wind dragon, tearing through the sky, claws bared, charging at Wyatt Barnes at speeds unmatched by Wyatt’s retreat.

So, the wind dragon quickly caught up with Wyatt Barnes.

As the wind dragon crashed into Wyatt Barnes’ back, Peace Adams paused and smiled victoriously.

Boom!!

Accompanied by a loud explosion, Peace Adams’ ’wind dragon’ erupted, unleashing a fearsome power.

This power shook the void; if any martial artist who had just broken through to the Middle Saint Realm pinnacle were to take this hit, they’d die without question!

However, was Wyatt Barnes’ strength comparable to any typical martial artist who had just reached the Middle Saint Realm peak?

To be precise, was Wyatt Barnes’ defense comparable to any typical martial artist who had just reached the Middle Saint Realm peak?

It should be known, Wyatt Barnes’ physical body was even stronger than that of a Six-Clawed Divine Dragon of the same tier!

Of course, Wyatt Barnes was only at the mid-stage of the Little Saint Realm, so although his body was strong, facing Peace Adams’ attack, even with the protection from the second realm ’Sword Shadow At Will’ of the Supreme Heart Sword exerted by True Sun Origin transforming into Sword Energy, he still suffered a considerable injury.

And just as Wyatt Barnes got injured, while Peace Adams showed satisfaction.

Whoosh!!

A fleeting sword whistling sound suddenly rang out like haunting screams tearing through the quiet night.

In DonovanTasker, Castiel Mullins, and Serene Adams’ eyes, a swift golden sword light shot out from Wyatt Barnes’ hand, faster than his previous displayed attack by more than just a little bit.

Moreover, the speed of this sword light was faster than Peace Adams’ wind dragon.

If they still couldn’t tell Wyatt Barnes had been hiding his strength, then they’d have lived half of their lives in vain.

"Junior House Master!"

Serene Adams’ face changed drastically, and she immediately called out loudly, intending to warn Peace Adams.

Yet, at this moment, Peace Adams was immersed in the joy of Wyatt Barnes being hit, unanticipated Wyatt would retaliate so sharply, so by the time he reacted, the swift golden sword light was only inches away.

At that instant, the golden sword light felt more like a dazzling sun to him.

The sun was about to smash right into him.

Puchi!

Blood splattered, and a bloody hole appeared in the middle of Peace Adams’ forehead.

But his face still wore a smug smile, a smile that would be the last of his life.

"Wow!!"

At the same time, the heavily injured Wyatt Barnes could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of congealed blood.

The blood splattered like stars, resembling dazzling red roses.

However, despite being seriously injured, Wyatt didn’t forget to collect Peace Adams’ Storage Ring, his spoils of war.

It wasn’t until Wyatt snatched away Peace’s Storage Ring, allowing Peace’s corpse to crash into the giant chess piece and turn into a bloody mess, that the crowd finally snapped back to reality.

And once they did, the scene fell silent again.

"Junior House Master!"

Finally, it was Serene Adams’ shout that woke everyone up.

However, as Serene’s shout rang out, two swift figures appeared beside Wyatt Barnes to protect him.

They stared fiercely at Serene, seemingly afraid he would act out of anger against Wyatt Barnes.

They dared not be careless with Serene, who had a ’history’.

Of course, these two were none other than DonovanTasker, Vice House Master of Teng Yue House, and Castiel Mullins, Second Elder of Surge Hayden House.

They were shocked by Wyatt Barnes’ killing of Peace Adams at the critical moment.

Having witnessed the entire battle between Wyatt and Peace, they realized at the moment of Peace’s death that Wyatt’s previous ’weakness’ was just a ’smokescreen’ to deceive Peace Adams.

It was due to this smokescreen that Peace became careless, ultimately leading to his counterattack death.

"It seems Wyatt Barnes had intended to kill Peace Adams from the start, or he wouldn’t have calculated every step so meticulously."

DonovanTasker thought to himself.

Castiel Mullins had similar thoughts at the moment.

They both recognized that although Wyatt was stronger than Peace Adams, even if he wanted to kill Peace in a direct confrontation, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

However, in a direct fight, Peace would have a chance to concede, and Wyatt might not be able to kill him.

By setting up his own trap, Peace fell into his snare, led by the nose, and ultimately met his doom.

At this moment, DonovanTasker and Castiel Mullins were brimming with ideas.

A genius martial artist with such intelligence and strategy would be rare, not just in the Martial Dao Sacred Land Lower Domain but even when viewed across the Martial Dao Sacred Land Upper Domain.

Once someone like this joins their faction, it would only be a matter of time before they become a ’quasi-third-rate power’!

It was precisely this thought that drove them to urgently appear beside Wyatt Barnes to protect him.

"Eden Lee, how dare you kill our Sky-scraping Mansion’s Junior House Master! You have great audacity!"

Seeing that DonovanTasker and Castiel Mullins were already at Wyatt Barnes’ side, Serene Adams knew he couldn’t make a move, but he couldn’t just let it go.

Their Sky-scraping Mansion’s ’hope’ had been cut off by Eden Lee!

He had no doubt that once this news returned to Sky-scraping Mansion, Eden Lee would become their number one enemy.

"He tried to kill me, and I can’t kill him? Ridiculous!"

Having taken a healing pill, Wyatt Barnes wiped the blood from his mouth and sneered, "Are all your people at Sky-scraping Mansion so tyrannical?"

Anyone else facing Serene’s threat might be intimidated.

But Wyatt Barnes came specifically to kill Peace Adams this time, so how could he take Serene’s threats seriously?

"Julia, Brother Wyatt has removed Peace Adams for you... From now on, you can happily live the life you want."

Suddenly, a beautiful figure flashed in Wyatt Barnes’ mind, causing the sneer to vanish and be replaced by a gentle smile.

Of course, to others, it looked more like a foolish grin.

"He... he actually killed Peace Adams?"

At that moment, the crowd finally snapped back to reality, looking at the grinning Wyatt Barnes in shock.

Currently, Wyatt Barnes’ rugged face was adorned with a silly smile, appearing rather contradictory.

But few paid attention to this detail.

Everyone’s focus was on Wyatt Barnes killing Peace Adams.

The people from Brahma Heaven Temple and Pure Sun Temple smiled as they saw Peace Adams being killed, and their gazes towards Wyatt Barnes softened significantly.

"Thank you, Benefactor Eden Lee."

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Eden Lee."

Two voices transmitted promptly to Wyatt’s ears, startling him.

When Wyatt looked up, he realized the voices belonged to the Abbot of Brahma Heaven Temple and the Master of Pure Sun Temple.

Killing Peace Adams was equivalent to indirectly avenging Monk Flower and Silent Void.

"Eden Lee!"

"Eden Lee!"

...

Meanwhile, the loose cultivators present erupted in excitement, each shouting Wyatt Barnes’ alias.

Killing Peace Adams had indirectly avenged GullyAshton Chapman, so naturally, these loose cultivators were elated.
