Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1454: Panic-Stricken Quentin Campbell

"How is this possible?!"

The smile on Holden Yellow’s face had long disappeared.

His expression was gloomy, unable to comprehend why this was the outcome.

With his strength, any slight movement from Sail Fenning could not escape his eyes.

Just now, Sail Fenning’s attack was clearly about to land on Wyatt Barnes.

However, at the crucial moment, Sail Fenning’s attack suddenly veered to Wyatt Barnes’s side and missed.

It was as if he deliberately exposed himself before Wyatt Barnes, allowing Wyatt to take him down.

In that instant, a thought even rose in his mind.

Sail Fenning was seeking death on purpose!

But, on second thought, it seemed impossible.

Sail Fenning was a strong contender on the Earth List, with such a bright future—what could possibly drive him to despair?

Moreover, he had heard uncertain rumors before, saying that the top five outer sect disciples, all ranked on the Earth List, were secretly taken as direct disciples by figures from the sect’s highest decision-making body.

Although he, Holden Yellow, was an elder in the outer sect, he had not yet entered the sect’s highest decision-making body.

In fact, throughout the outer sect, only the Grand Elder ’Pov Easton’ had entered the sect’s highest decision-making body, and his status was not low.

Having seen the ’Thousand Jun Saint Marking’ on the sacred weapon in Sail Fenning’s hand, Holden Yellow was almost certain that the rumor he heard was true, and Sail Fenning indeed had a master with high status in the Moon Radiance Sect.

For this reason, no matter how he thought about it, Sail Fenning couldn’t be seeking his own death!

Thus, all the oddities obviously fell on the person who killed Sail Fenning.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Holden Yellow looked at Wyatt, his eyes seemingly shooting flames.

Thinking about the 360,000 merit points that had become Wyatt Barnes’s possession, he felt an evil fire rush from his feet to his forehead, "Yesterday, a group of outer sect elders, but this Wyatt accepted a bet only from me, obviously intending to pit me!"

"However, do you seriously think, Wyatt Barnes, that my merit points are something you can just swallow?"

Thinking of this, a fierce light flickered in Holden’s eyes, and killing intent flashed.

The few outer sect elders nearby also turned their gaze to Holden Yellow after recovering from their shock, with some compassion mixed in their eyes.

"That was close. Luckily Wyatt Barnes didn’t take my bet yesterday."

An outer sect elder said, somewhat relieved.

"Yes. Yesterday, I was planning to bet at least a hundred thousand merit points... Now it seems, fortunately, I didn’t bet, otherwise that hundred thousand would have also become Wyatt Barnes’s."

Another outer sect elder nodded in agreement.

"I estimate that this Wyatt Barnes knew from the beginning that Sail Fenning was not his match, which is why he accepted the ’Life and Death Duel’ challenge from Sail Fenning... To achieve such accomplishments at this age, it’s likely he isn’t a simple-minded person."

Another outer sect elder mused.

"Indeed."

His words garnered approval including from Pierce Reid among other outer sect elders.

The strange scene earlier was seen by Holden Yellow, and naturally, they saw it too.

At the crucial moment, Sail Fenning’s attack eerily missed, giving Wyatt Barnes an opportunity to counterattack, allowing Wyatt not only to survive but also to launch a counter-kill against Sail Fenning.

At that moment, Sail Fenning’s body was carried away by two rapidly snatched sacred weapons, preventing him from defending in time.

In front of Wyatt Barnes, he appeared like a target without any defense.

So, Sail Fenning died, died utterly and unexpectedly for everyone.

"I don’t even know what method Wyatt used... Mental power attack? Or some other technique?"

The group of outer sect elders was filled with doubts.

"This... How... How could it be?"

Quentin Campbell, the personal disciple of Inner Sect Elder ’Evander Mullins,’ now also recovered from the scene where Sail Fenning was killed, muttered in a daze and his face changed dramatically.

The scene before his eyes was something he never imagined even in his dreams.

Sail Fenning actually died!

Whether Sail Fenning lived or died, he naturally didn’t care.

However, Sail Fenning’s death made things far from simple.

If Sail Fenning were an ordinary outer sect disciple, it would be fine; yet Sail Fenning’s background was terrifying. Behind him was someone who ranked among the top three in strength among a group of Inner Sect Elders in the Moon Radiance Sect, much stronger than his master Evander Mullins.

Even his master Evander Mullins was respectful and didn’t dare to slight facing that Inner Sect Elder.

And now, Sail Fenning was dead!

Died because of his instructions.

Quentin could imagine that once Sail Fenning’s master, that highly esteemed Inner Sect Elder, knew what happened, things wouldn’t end well for him.

Even though his master shifted his focus entirely to Kai Simmons, showing him much less care than before... even then, his master wouldn’t offend Sail Fenning’s master because of him.

At this moment, Quentin felt the sky collapse around him!

"No, wait!"

Just when Quentin was in despair, a flash of insight sparked in his mind, and suddenly he felt revitalized, "The reason Sail Fenning issued a Life and Death Duel challenge to Wyatt Barnes is only known by me and him... no one else knows."

"Now that Sail Fenning is dead, I’m the only one who knows... can’t I just say whatever I want?"

Thinking of this, Quentin’s heart suddenly felt sunny and his mood brightened.

However, when his gaze fell upon Wyatt Barnes in the distance healing himself with a healing Pill, his face darkened again, "Who on earth is this Wyatt Barnes? How could he possibly kill Sail Fenning in such a situation?"

"Could it be he really knows some ’demonic arts’?"

Thinking of this, Quentin shook his head to himself, "It shouldn’t be demonic arts, but some mental secret technique... something that could confuse others and create illusions, thus redirecting attacks."

Whether it was a group of outer sect elders, outer sect stewards, or Quentin, their speculations were largely the same.

All believed that Wyatt Barnes had used a mental secret technique.

They didn’t consider that even in a grave situation like that, even if Sail Fenning intended to redirect his attack, could he have done so?

No matter how shocked the crowd was at Sail Fenning’s death, dead he was.

Wyatt Barnes emerged as the victor in this life and death duel, surviving successfully.

Of course, although he survived, Wyatt Barnes was far from unscathed, dripping with cold sweat, "Even after taking the ’Three-Star Healing Pill’ given by my teacher, this chunk of flesh taken away won’t grow back for ten days or half a month."

However, thinking of the nearly three million merit points added to the crystal card, he felt the cost was worth it.

"Three million merit points... Tsk tsk, there’s probably nothing I can’t exchange for in the Moon Radiance Sect now."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself with a hint of joy despite the cold sweat.

"And... that sacred weapon of Sail Fenning’s!"

According to the regulations of the Moon Radiance Sect, the possessions of a killed person in a life and death match, except for any special items, belong to the winner and become the victor’s spoils of war.

Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes endured the pain, walked to Sail Fenning’s body, and picked up the ’Thousand Jun Greatsword’ in a raised hand, faintly seeing a special pattern engraved on it, with intricate veining, similar to the ’Inscription’ of the Cloud Skies Continent.

"This should be the two-star Saint Marking ’Thousand Jun Saint Marking.’"

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

"This greatsword, at the very least, would cost over two hundred thousand merit points to acquire... Now, I got it directly, saving over those two hundred thousand merit points."

Wyatt Barnes, exhilarated, stored away the Thousand Jun Greatsword and then reached out to also store away the Gale Hammer.

Although he already knew the Gale Hammer belonged to Quentin Campbell.

But he pretended not to know now.

"Hmph! You think you can touch my sacred weapon, Quentin Campbell?"

Just as Wyatt’s hand was about to touch the Gale Hammer, it disappeared. At the same time, a voice filled with sarcasm echoed, and Quentin Campbell appeared not far ahead of Wyatt.

"Quentin Campbell!"

Wyatt Barnes’s face sank, but he also knew he wouldn’t be able to acquire the Gale Hammer.

After six months, Wyatt Barnes was once again in close contact with Quentin, feeling Quentin was as arrogant and presumptuous as half a year ago.

However, within the sect, Quentin dared not be so presumptuous.

Wyatt didn’t know, when he went to grab the Gale Hammer earlier, Quentin could have directly attacked him, as long as he didn’t kill him or cripple him.

After all, he had a justification, trying to protect his sacred weapon.

But he didn’t strike to distance himself from the incident of Sail Fenning being killed by Wyatt Barnes.

He didn’t want others to think Quentin was trying to kill Wyatt Barnes, to prevent suspicions that he intended to use Sail Fenning’s hand to kill Wyatt Barnes.

If that were the case, the master behind Sail Fenning wouldn’t let him off.

"I truly didn’t expect that a character like an ant half a year ago could rise to this point today."

Quentin stared coldly at Wyatt, using True Energy to transmit a laugh, "However, your lineage from Hill Mountain City will inevitably have a short-lived life in the Moon Radiance Sect... it’s always been this way, and it will be this way for those in the future too."

"Whether we can live long isn’t for you, Quentin Campbell, to decide."

Unlike Quentin’s secret communication, Wyatt spoke loudly.

And Wyatt’s words attracted the attention of many.

Quentin’s face changed drastically.

He realized if he stayed any longer, someone might believe he wanted to kill Wyatt Barnes, so he kept away the Gale Hammer and swiftly left, not daring to linger for an instant.

For Quentin, the top priority was to completely dissociate himself from today’s incident!

Quentin’s sudden departure surprised Wyatt, leaving him clueless, "Why did Quentin Campbell leave in such a hurry, what was he apprehensive about?"
