Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2302: Trump Card
"Hmm?"
Hearing the voice of the Giant Spirit Palace Master ’Archer Stone’, coupled with the sight of Archer Stone charging toward him, Wyatt Barnes squinted his eyes to slits.
A cold glint flashed through the slits of Wyatt Barnes’s eyes!
Just as Wyatt Barnes was about to transform into the ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior’ to fight two opponents at once...
Whoosh!
A burst of daylight spread from above the tribulation clouds, making those below feel the blinding intensity.
Boom!!
Along with the blinding daylight, a thunderous roar echoed, also originating from above the tribulation clouds.
"Is it the second ’tribulation lightning’ of the Ascension Tribulation?"
The thunderous roar made Wyatt Barnes realize the second tribulation lightning of the Ascension Tribulation had descended!
Unbeknownst to him, he and Sacred Wander Palace Master ’Vast Johnson’ had already been locked in combat for quite a while.
Whoosh! Whoosh! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Two tribulation lightnings, resembling grand dragons, swept down from the horizon. The foremost one targeted Vast Johnson, while the latter aimed directly at Wyatt Barnes.
Having endured the first tribulation lightning of the Ascension Tribulation simultaneously, Wyatt Barnes and Vast Johnson were now facing the second tribulation lightning together!
The second tribulation lightning of the Ascension Tribulation was much stronger than the first.
However, for Wyatt Barnes and Vast Johnson, this level of tribulation lightning was insignificant, easily extinguished with a mere gesture.
After all, this second tribulation lightning was one of the weakest among the eighty-one tribulation lightnings of the Ascension Tribulation.
If such lightning challenged them, then there would be no need to continue facing the tribulation.
Even though the second tribulation lightning wasn’t strong, it did force Archer Stone to halt mid-flight, deterred from approaching Wyatt Barnes as the lightning fell.
It was then he remembered:
Currently, Wyatt Barnes was undergoing a tribulation!
If he rashly approached Wyatt Barnes during his tribulation, the tribulation clouds might perceive it as aiding Wyatt Barnes in overcoming the tribulation...
At that time, the tribulation clouds wouldn’t show him any mercy, likely striking him with a tribulation lightning as powerful as the eighty-first, leaving him with no chance of survival!
"Luckily... luckily this second tribulation lightning reminded me!"
Archer Stone silently retreated, disregarding the odd looks from those around.
"Why did the Giant Spirit Palace Master retreat?"
Seeing Archer Stone retreat, many onlookers whispered amongst themselves.
"Can he not? Now, both the Sacred Wander Palace Master and Wyatt Barnes are undergoing tribulation... If Archer Stone rashly charges in now, he might provoke the ’Ascension Tribulation’, resulting in a thunder punishment and getting struck down!"
An elder from the Crimson Flame Palace said matter-of-factly.
"The Giant Spirit Palace Master must hate Wyatt Barnes... Otherwise, he wouldn’t irrationally try to team up with the Sacred Wander Palace Master to deal with Wyatt Barnes at this moment!"
"If not for the timely descent of the second tribulation lightning reminding him, he probably wouldn’t have survived!"
"So reckless... the people of the Giant Spirit Palace are truly brainless brutes!"
"Shush... be quiet, there are quite a few from the Giant Spirit Palace around; offending them is unwise."
...
The crowd, whispering amongst themselves, also realized why Archer Stone recklessly moved and then timely retreated.
After retreating, with Archer Stone’s keen hearing, he naturally caught these murmurs.
His face alternated between a sullen green and white.
Finally, his gaze fell on Keer, Sienna Barnes, and Paisley Flores, and a wild thought arose in his mind:
"What if I were to capture these three women and use them to threaten Wyatt Barnes... forcing him to not fight back and let Vast Johnson kill him!"
But this thought was quickly suppressed.
For he worried that even capturing these three women might not threaten Wyatt Barnes, and failing to do so would leave him even more vulnerable, effectively burning the bridge with Wyatt Barnes, leaving no room for redemption...
If Wyatt Barnes survived, the Giant Spirit Palace would face unending turmoil!
Of course, Archer Stone’s concern stemmed from his own selfish nature, seeing others through the lens of his own selfishness...
Had he known that Keer and Sienna were Wyatt Barnes’s ’Achilles’ heel’, and could indeed threaten him, he wouldn’t have hesitated!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
While Archer Stone hesitated, on the other side, Wyatt Barnes and Vast Johnson moved again, one maneuvering like a flying beast, the other like a projectile, constantly intersecting paths.
In their movements, they frequently struck at each other...
However, after several rounds of continuous confrontation, they were still evenly matched, neither gaining the upper hand!
"Wyatt Barnes, to think your strength has reached such a level... It seems it’s hard for us to determine a victor!"
A moment later, Vast Johnson withdrew and, looking at Wyatt Barnes, who also stopped not far away, said in a deep voice.
"I never imagined, Palace Master Johnson, that your power would be so formidable!"
Wyatt Barnes also gave Vast Johnson a deep look and said.
As his words fell, Wyatt’s tone changed, "However, Palace Master Johnson, I don’t agree that it’s difficult to determine a victor between us..."
At this point, Wyatt paused.
"What? Are you trying to say that you’ve been holding back?"
Vast Johnson sneered.
He naturally wouldn’t believe that Wyatt had any tactics left unshown because during their confrontation earlier, he’d already seen the means Wyatt could deploy.
Apart from those, he didn’t think Wyatt could come up with any ’new tricks’.
"I have indeed been holding back!"
Almost as soon as Vast Johnson’s voice trailed off, Wyatt responded with a calm smile.
And as he responded, his body suddenly swelled again, as if in an instant, becoming much more robust, stretching the purple robe on his body to fit like tight armor.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
...
Under the gaze of the crowd, Wyatt’s purple robe was torn apart by his expanding body, and the scene that unfolded after the robe was torn caused everyone’s pupils to involuntarily narrow.
It was because, at this moment, Wyatt’s body no longer belonged to a human.
From the neck down, though still humanoid, Wyatt was no longer in human form, the glistening scales covering him were clearly dragon scales.
And his hands and feet at this moment transformed into four sturdy, powerful dragon claws, each of the nine sharp claws on them shimmering with a frightening gleam as if capable of tearing through anything!
Humanoid dragon body!
At this moment, Wyatt finally revealed his trump card, transforming into a ’Dragon Warrior’, and not just any Dragon Warrior, but a ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior’!
"Dragon Warrior?!"
When Wyatt transformed into a Dragon Warrior, the first to react was not the group beneath the Tribulation Clouds but one of the two above them—the gray-robed elder, the mentor of the Human Demon Clan Chief.
"And... a ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior’?!"
The gray-robed elder’s eyes pierced through the Tribulation Clouds and landed on Wyatt, and the previously calm expression on his face turned into one of shock.
"The Holy Domain Plane, could it be that a ’Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon’ has appeared?"
Upon seeing the Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior, the first thing the gray-robed elder thought of was the ’Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon’ behind this Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior.
Because generally speaking, only a Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon could create a Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior!
"Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior!"
The Human Demon Clan Chief beside the gray-robed elder, after the elder, also came back to his senses, his pupils shrank abruptly, his face filled with horror.
He had, of course, heard of Dragon Warriors.
However, he never imagined he would see a ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior’ in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land of the Holy Domain Plane!
It’s important to know that Dragon Warriors come in varying levels and grades.
And the ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior’ stands at the highest level among Dragon Warriors, only a legendary Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon can create it!
"In the current Holy Domain Plane... Could there be a ’Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon’?"
At the same time, the Human Demon Clan Chief had a similar thought as his mentor.
As this thought arose in his heart, an expression of fear unavoidably appeared in his eyes.
After all, a Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon is a legendary being, and if it appeared now in this Holy Domain Plane, it wouldn’t bode well for the Human Demon Clan or even the entire Demon Race!
With the appearance of the Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior, can the Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon be far behind?
This was the apprehensive thought that rose in the hearts of the mentor-disciple pair from the Human Demon Clan...
Under the Tribulation Clouds.
"This is... a Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior?"
Whether it was Vast Johnson of the Sacred Wander Palace or Archer Stone of the Giant Spirit Palace, or the many onlookers knowledgeable of the world, they all instantly recognized what Wyatt Barnes’ current ’form’ signified.
"Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior? What is that?"
Of course, some disciples of the Sacred Wander Palace were hearing about the ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior’ for the first time.
However, with the explanations of some Sacred Wander Palace Elders around them, they also came to know what the Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior ’signified’, and they were all stunned for a moment!
Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior, the ’descendant’ of a Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon?
They hadn’t heard of the Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior, but the Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon was legendary to them, the mightiest existence among the Dragonsmith Clan, and a legendary being!
"Wyatt Barnes, I really didn’t expect you to be a ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior’..."
Vast Johnson looked with a solemn face at Wyatt Barnes and said in a deep voice, "I admit, after you transformed into a Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior, I am not your match..."
"However, just because you have a trump card, do you think I don’t have one too?!"
