Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1470: Three-Star Saint Markings
Chapter 1470: Chapter 1470: Three-Star Saint Markings
The Lightning Sword Technique!
This is the single-target offensive move within the top-grade human-tier martial arts training of Center Montes, mastered to the fourth realm: "Skillful Command."
Now, as he employed the movement technique ’Straight Step,’ he quickly closed the distance to Wyatt Barnes in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh!
The blade in his hand, slender like willow branches and three feet long, shot straight at Wyatt like a sharp spike.
The Lightning Sword Technique!
This strike was incredibly swift, causing even the surrounding air to emit a piercing whistle.
The whistling sound seemed to pierce through everything, making the faces of the onlookers grow tense.
Of course, some of the weaker Outer Sect disciples were completely unable to catch this whistling sound in time.
Heavy as a Mountain!
In response to Center Montes’ attack, Wyatt calmly drew the Thousand Weight Heavy Sword and activated the ’Thousand Weight Saint Markings’ on its surface.
With one sweep of the sword, it was as if he were swinging a mountain, smashing it straight toward Center Montes’ piercing sword.
"So reckless!"
Seeing this, Center Montes sneered coldly. The True Energy on his sword pulsed, appearing as leaping green electric snakes, exuding a suffocating pressure.
As this aura emerged, Wyatt’s face grew solemn.
The aura gave him an overwhelming sense of indomitability.
It was as if Center Montes’ sword had undergone a monumental transformation, becoming utterly unstoppable at that moment.
BOOM!!
The Thousand Weight Heavy Sword sliced through the air, creating thunderous roars, meeting Center Montes’ ’Lightning Sword Technique’ head-on.
Center Montes’ Lightning Sword Technique stayed true to the straight path of the character ’一’ (straight), without any intention of turning or dodging, piercing directly toward Wyatt’s horizontally swinging Thousand Weight Heavy Sword.
Faced with the mountain-like sweep of the heavy sword, there was no trace of fear!
Finally, Center Montes’ blade collided with Wyatt’s Thousand Weight Heavy Sword.
At the corner of Wyatt’s mouth, a cold smile appeared. He believed his strike would send both Center Montes and his blade flying.
But then, disaster struck!
An appalling scene unfolded before Wyatt’s eyes.
The horrifying sight froze the cold smile on his lips instantly.
Wyatt’s expression filled with shock.
Center Montes’ sword seemed truly indomitable. As Wyatt swung the Thousand Weight Heavy Sword, it pierced through the True Energy shrouding the sword and penetrated the Thousand Weight Heavy Sword itself.
After piercing through the sword, the thin and long green blade transformed into a venomous snake, lunging toward Wyatt’s face.
The speed was terrifying!
The Mysterious Eye!
In the flash of lightning, Wyatt swiftly unleashed his mental powers, channeling them into his left eye to activate the ’Mysterious Eye.’
In this instant, through the enhanced view of his left eye, Center Montes’ sword slowed slightly.
Seizing this lightning-fast opportunity, Wyatt evaded to the side.
But he was still a fraction too late.
Center Montes’ sword grazed Wyatt’s arm, slicing his robe and drawing a trace of fresh, splattered blood.
Deep into the flesh!
The stinging pain immediately coursed through Wyatt’s nerves, making him gasp sharply in response.
In the next moment, Wyatt retreated swiftly.
Center Montes, however, did not pursue further, adopting a domineering stance as he looked down at Wyatt, his gaze filled with ridicule, "Wyatt Barnes, so this is all you amount to."
"What kind of Saint Markings are these? To think they could pierce through the Thousand Weight Heavy Sword... Even the Thousand Weight Heavy Sword is, after all, a lower-tier earth-grade sacred weapon!"
Recalling the scene just now, Wyatt felt a chill in his heart, glancing at Center Montes’ sword with newfound apprehension.
That strike not only defied the Thousand Weight Heavy Sword’s impact but even pierced through his True Energy and the blade itself, aiming directly at him.
The sight of the hole on the Thousand Weight Heavy Sword’s blade was unsettling in the extreme.
"The Thousand Weight Heavy Sword was pierced through entirely! Could it possibly be the ’Penetration Glyph’?"
An Inner Sect disciple gasped and exclaimed in shock.
The Penetration Glyph!
The mere mention of this caused an uproar in the crowd.
"Is Center Montes’ sword engraved with the three-star Saint Markings, ’Penetration Glyph’?"
"To my knowledge, not even the Hall of Merit contains many weapons engraved with three-star Saint Markings... They only occasionally appear. When they do, Inner Sect elders sweep them away instantly."
"Within the sect, only the higher-ups above Inner Sect elders have the financial capacity to purchase weapons with three-star Saint Markings!"
"Weapons engraved with three-star Saint Markings start at a million merit points."
...
The crowd of spectators voiced their astonishment, their gazes toward Center Montes filled with shock.
"Hmm. That sword looks familiar..."
At some point, an Inner Sect disciple stared at the weapon in Center Montes’ hand, brows furrowed in recollection.
Moments later, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "I remember now! This is the sword of our Inner Sect elder, Evander Mullins. I once had the honor of watching Elder Mullins use this sword... In the Moon Radiance Sect, sacred weapons engraved with three-star Saint Markings never repeat. Clearly, the sword in Center Montes’ hand is Elder Mullins’!"
"Elder Mullins’ sword? I’ve never heard of Center Montes having any connection to Elder Mullins... How does he have Elder Mullins’ sword?"
Many Inner Sect disciples looked at Center Montes in astonishment.
"Perhaps Center Montes is the secret personal disciple of Elder Mullins? To my knowledge, the sect’s high-ranking figures often secretly recruit talented disciples from the Outer Sect and only reveal their identities once these disciples enter the Inner Sect."
One Inner Sect disciple remarked.
"I’ve heard of this too. It seems that Center Montes is likely Elder Mullins’ secretly trained disciple."
Another Inner Sect disciple chimed in.
"Evander Mullins?"
Among the crowd of onlookers, many had their eyes light up upon hearing the name.
"Elder Evander Mullins has made his move, finally? It’s a pity this isn’t a life-and-death duel."
Hidden among the crowd, Outer Sect elder Holden Yellow sneered, "Even though this isn’t a fight to the death, with the grudge between Elder Mullins and Hill Mountain City’s City Lord, Tabo Garcia, Elder Mullins surely won’t let Wyatt Barnes off lightly."
The animosity between Evander Mullins and Tabo Garcia was no secret in the Moon Radiance Sect.
Thus, upon learning that Wyatt Barnes came from Hill Mountain City, Holden Yellow had been anticipating Wyatt’s misfortune.
Holden Yellow was the same elder who had lost over three hundred thousand merit points to Wyatt Barnes a little over a month ago.
Over the past month, Holden Yellow had kept a close watch on Wyatt Barnes, ready to ambush him the moment he left the sect’s premises.
Yet Wyatt had shown no willingness to leave the sect or go out for training.
"Elder Mullins?"
Outer Sect steward Vein Weber also chuckled, "With someone from Elder Mullins’ faction making a move, this Wyatt Barnes is either doomed or disabled! Given Center Montes’ position in the Outer Sect, even if he ruins Wyatt Barnes, he will only face minor punishment."
Although Wyatt Barnes was a prodigious Martial Artist, in a ruined state, his value to the Moon Radiance Sect would vanish entirely.
On the other hand, Center Montes had significant value.
Thus, the Moon Radiance Sect would not cripple Center Montes.
Of course, should Center Montes dare to kill Wyatt Barnes, he wouldn’t escape execution.
This was due to the sect’s rules: If murder were to go unpunished, the Moon Radiance Sect’s authority would crumble, leaving its rules unenforced in the future.
"Wyatt Barnes..."
Mandy Wood was also present, her gaze filled with anticipation.
Wyatt Barnes hailed from Hill Mountain City, sharing animosity with Evander Mullins, an Inner Sect elder—a feud Mandy had heard much about during her three months at Moon Radiance Sect.
Now, Mandy greatly desired Wyatt Barnes to be crippled, simplifying her quest to kill him.
"Three-star Saint Markings, ’Penetration Glyph’? Evander Mullins’ sword?"
Wyatt’s face darkened, realizing that Mullins had lent his sword to Center Montes for the sole purpose of dealing with him.
However, the sheer power of the three-star Saint Markings still left Wyatt both shocked and awestruck.
Last time Wyatt visited the Hall of Merit, he hadn’t seen any weapons engraved with three-star Saint Markings; otherwise, he’d have certainly purchased one.
Straight Step!
The Lightning Sword Technique!
Hearing the Inner Sect disciples reveal the origins of his sword, Center Montes wasted no time launching another strike.
This time, his target was Wyatt’s right arm holding the Thousand Weight Heavy Sword, as though aiming to sever it with one blow.
Confronted with Center Montes’ ruthlessness, Wyatt’s face turned utterly grim.
In the next moment, he directly activated the ’Mysterious Eye.’
A continuous stream of mental power gathered in Wyatt’s left eye, forming a tiny vortex at its center.
The vortex spun faster and faster until it reached seemingly its limit.
At this point, Wyatt had no choice but to employ the ’Mysterious Eye.’
As someone ranked "number three" in the Outer Sect, Center Montes’ innate strength was already remarkable. Adding a sword engraved with three-star Saint Markings, ’Penetration Glyph,’ left Wyatt entirely overwhelmed.
With the Mysterious Eye activated, spatial displacement!
In an instant, Center Montes’ sword veered off course, bypassing Wyatt’s right arm.
Just as Wyatt breathed a sigh of relief, he noticed Center Montes’ gaze had a look of realization, but without any hint of panic.
It was as though he had anticipated this all along.
"He already knew?"
Wyatt’s heart sank, cultivating a sense of unease.
"Wyatt Barnes, Sail Fenning must have fallen to this ’mental technique’ of yours, right? Your mental technique is indeed extraordinary, able to divert my fully powered Lightning Sword Technique... But now, it ends."
Center Montes’ True Energy transmission stabbed into Wyatt’s ears, confirming his ominous premonition.
Next, Wyatt noticed Center Montes’ other hand holding a small yellow sheet, densely adorned with intricate patterns.
"A Taoist Talisman!"
The moment the spectators recognized the Taoist Talisman, so did Wyatt.
The Taoist Talisman swiftly shot toward Wyatt.
"Command!"
Sweeping past Wyatt’s side with momentum, Center Montes fixed his fierce gaze on Wyatt and suddenly shouted aloud.
