Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1577: Dragonsmith Clan Chief, Emperor Mountain!
Chapter 1577: Chapter 1577: Dragonsmith Clan Chief, Emperor Mountain!
Lanni Barnes’ words were no less than a bolt from the blue to Emperor End.
However, after being struck by this bolt from the blue, he immediately regained his composure, and with a bitter smile, said to Lanni Barnes, "Lord House Master, could there be some misunderstanding here? I’ve never even seen your son, so how could I have attacked him, almost killing him?"
At this moment, Emperor End’s heart was filled with grievance, like a little girl who had her buttocks pinched.
The middle-aged man before him was the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, a formidable force on par with their Dragonsmith Clan, with strength that might even rival their clan chief.
An existence like this, even if given a hundred freedoms, he wouldn’t dare provoke.
"It seems you truly won’t give up until you reach the Yellow River."
Lanni Barnes sneered coldly, but wasn’t bothered to explain anything further. Yet, the brilliance in his eyes grew even sharper.
"Emperor End, open your ears and listen carefully... Wyatt Barnes is the Junior House Master of my Mansion of Azure Clouds!"
Withered’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he spoke in a deep voice.
Wyatt Barnes!
Withered’s words, as they entered Emperor End’s ears, were like a massive boulder smashing into a calm water surface, splashing innumerable droplets and leaving Emperor End once again in shock.
Wyatt Barnes—this name was certainly not foreign to him.
Recalling the humiliation he suffered at Wyatt Barnes’ hands back then, his anger remained unabated, wishing he could drag Wyatt Barnes out and grind his bones to dust!
Additionally, he suspected that his son had died at Wyatt Barnes’ hands.
As a result, he almost considered Wyatt Barnes as his top enemy.
From beginning to end, he never took Wyatt Barnes seriously. In his eyes, Wyatt Barnes was just a crafty young lad. If it hadn’t been for his own carelessness back then, he wouldn’t have fallen for Wyatt’s trick.
That experience was a humiliation that could only be washed away with Wyatt Barnes’ blood.
"Old Wu, could you be mistaken? Your Mansion of Azure Clouds is a formidable force in the Martial Dao Sacred Land on par with our Dragonsmith Clan... And that Wyatt Barnes is just a kid from the mortal continent. It’s impossible for him to be related to your Mansion of Azure Clouds."
Taking a deep breath, Emperor End said with faint hope.
"Emperor End, perhaps you don’t know... Not only does our Junior House Master come from the mortal continent, but our House Master does as well!"
Hearing Emperor End’s words, Withered couldn’t help but sneer.
And Withered’s words completely shattered that last shred of hope within Emperor End, causing his face to change dramatically, revealing a look of horror.
The Wyatt Barnes he hated to the core was actually the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds!
How could this be possible?!
Even now, Emperor End found it difficult to believe, even though the matter was almost confirmed.
"You nearly killed my son, and if I do nothing, I wouldn’t be worthy of being a father."
With a calm yet chilling gaze, Lanni Barnes glanced at Emperor End and said in a flat tone, "However, I won’t bully you... I will suppress my cultivation to your level. If you can withstand ten moves from me, I won’t kill you."
In Lanni Barnes’ words lay an extremely powerful self-assurance.
Suppressed cultivation to the same level?
Ten moves?
Emperor End, who believed disaster had befallen him, suddenly saw his eyes light up upon hearing Lanni Barnes’ words.
In his view, against a martial artist of the same level, he had a hundred percent confidence in winning.
Unfortunately, the imagination was beautiful, but reality was harsh.
Lanni Barnes was not at all comparable to an ordinary human martial artist.
Even though Emperor End transformed into a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon right from the start, he could barely withstand Lanni Barnes’ eighth move.
Lanni Barnes’ ninth move descended effortlessly, severely injuring Emperor End. The once awe-inspiring Five-Clawed Golden Dragon was now as wretched as a large mud eel.
"Impossible!!"
And Emperor End, gravely injured by Lanni Barnes, found it hard to accept this reality.
He could confirm that Lanni Barnes had indeed suppressed his cultivation to be on par with his own.
Yet even so, before Lanni Barnes, he still felt as if his hands were tied, unable to fully unleash his assaults.
Or to put it more accurately, he simply couldn’t launch any attacks.
In his eyes, Lanni Barnes was like a mountain, a majestic peak that was insurmountable.
Every move Lanni Barnes made seemed like moving mountains and overturning seas, imposing immense pressure on him... This pressure emanated not only from the external environment but even from within himself, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted, nearly collapsing.
At this moment, he truly realized the terrifying nature of the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds.
"And this was with his cultivation suppressed to the same level as mine... Without suppressing his cultivation, how terrifying would his strength be? Even the clan chief might not be as strong, right?"
In that moment, Emperor End was completely shaken by the power Lanni Barnes displayed, so much so that he even forgot what Lanni Barnes had just said to him.
However, as Lanni Barnes withdrew and stood, a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes, Emperor End shivered and finally reacted, his face changing dramatically.
"House Master Barnes, I admit that I almost killed Wyatt Barnes... but the reason I wanted to kill him was because he teased me, and he possibly killed my son!"
At this critical moment of life and death, Emperor End also threw caution to the wind, nearly roaring, "Is your son, House Master Barnes, the only child, and my son not a child? He killed my son, shouldn’t I take revenge? Where is the fairness in that?"
"Fairness?"
Upon hearing Emperor End’s words, Lanni Barnes couldn’t help but chuckle coldly, "Emperor End, my age is probably not even a fraction of yours... In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, since ancient times, it’s all about respecting the powerful. In the face of immense strength, fairness simply does not exist! Surely, this is something you can’t possibly not know?"
"If you truly want to talk about fairness, then when you killed the members of my son’s sect, did you hear them mention fairness?"
"If you truly want fairness, then let me tell you... I, Lanni Barnes, am fairness!"
It was rare for Lanni Barnes to say so much, perhaps because he was happy about Emperor End’s impending death, or maybe for some other reason.
In any case, just as his words fell, the aura around him completely changed.
As his aura shifted, the surrounding void trembled, as if the end of the world had arrived.
The terrifying aura emanating from Lanni Barnes surged in an instant, transforming into a monstrous black flame, as if it would incinerate the heavens.
Whoosh!!
As the monstrous black flames soared, half of the sky was enveloped by the black fire. Whether it was Lanni Barnes himself, Withered standing behind him, or even Emperor End standing in the distance ahead of Lanni Barnes, they were all submerged by the black flames.
As the black flames swelled, the aura of destruction spread wherever it passed, and even members of the Dragonsmith Clan watching from afar could distinctly sense this aura of annihilation.
In an instant, some of the lower-ranked members of the Dragonsmith Clan changed their expressions drastically, blood oozing from their seven orifices, clearly suffering severe injuries.
And this was from a distance.
Emperor End, situated in the very center of the black flames, undoubtedly bore the greatest pressure.
In Withered’s eyes, with the House Master making a move, Emperor End was undoubtedly doomed!
However, at this moment, Lanni Barnes did not have any joy for Emperor End’s imminent demise; his brow furrowed instantly, and he said coldly, "Emperor Mountain, you finally showed up!"
Emperor Mountain!
Upon hearing the House Master’s words, Withered’s heart trembled.
Emperor Mountain was certainly a name he was not unfamiliar with, as it was the name of the current clan chief of the Dragonsmith Clan.
If there was someone in the Dragonsmith Clan he was most wary of, it was undoubtedly Emperor Mountain.
Emperor Mountain, as the clan chief of the Dragonsmith Clan, was a presence comparable to his House Master, beyond his capability to contend with.
As the black flames in the void dissipated, as if night instantly became day, the Emperor End, who was supposed to be killed by Lanni Barnes, was now enveloped within a layer of golden light. Around the golden light, strands of solid golden streamers continuously weaved, resembling little golden dragons.
Within the grand golden light, besides Emperor End, who was extremely pale, there was also a robust old man.
The old man was clad in a golden robe, standing there, as if blending with the heavens and earth, bringing an immense pressure in an intangible way.
Of course, this pressure was directly ignored by Lanni Barnes.
However, Withered could not ignore it; his face turned solemn as he intentionally resisted this pressure.
This old man was indeed the clan chief of the current generation of the Dragonsmith Clan, Emperor Mountain!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
At that very moment, including the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon ’Lewis’ and the Five-Clawed Purple Dragon ’Jelly Tyler’, who had been easily suppressed by Lanni Barnes before, five figures appeared behind Emperor Mountain, guarding Emperor End at the center like stars surrounding the moon.
The five figures, besides Lewis and Jelly Tyler, also included Zen Blood, in addition to two other old men.
Just by sensing the aura emanating from the two old men, it could be concluded that even if their strength was not as good as Zen Blood, it was not inferior to Jelly Tyler.
They were indeed two of the other three Five-Clawed Divine Dragon elders of the Dragonsmith Clan.
In the Dragonsmith Clan, traditionally, there are only nine Five-Clawed Divine Dragons.
And in this generation, because of the appearance of the Five-Clawed Demon Dragon ’Emperor Yonah’, one of those spots was taken, leaving the Dragonsmith Clan with only eight Five-Clawed Divine Dragons.
Now, besides one Five-Clawed Divine Dragon who happened to be absent from the clan, the remaining eight Five-Clawed Divine Dragons, led by the clan chief ’Emperor Mountain’, all gathered together, eyeing Lanni Barnes menacingly.
However, even in the face of seven Five-Clawed Divine Dragons, Lanni Barnes remained unfazed.
It was as if he was facing not seven Five-Clawed Divine Dragons, but seven ordinary people.
"House Master Barnes, it’s one thing for you to break into our Dragonsmith Clan... but to think you want to kill our next clan chief, do you really think our Dragonsmith Clan is without anyone?"
One of the two previously unseen Five-Clawed Divine Dragon elders stepped forward, grimly staring at Wyatt Barnes and asked in a deep voice.
"Who do you think you are, to have the right to speak to our House Master with that tone?"
As Lanni Barnes ignored this Five-Clawed Divine Dragon elder, Withered stepped forward, staring menacingly at the opponent, and spoke coldly.
