Originally, Maximus Lee was shocked at how Wyatt Barnes could possibly block his attack.
Now, seeing the woman beside Wyatt Barnes spit out two mouthfuls of blood, her face pale and her breath weak, looking like she suffered the side effects of a secret technique, he immediately thought it was this woman next to Wyatt Barnes who caused the deception.
Although he didn’t know how this woman allowed Wyatt Barnes to use the Monarch Level Immortal Method ’Immovable King of Ming’ to block his attack, it didn’t affect his belief in this fact.
"Though I don’t know how you, little girl, helped this Wyatt Barnes block my strike... but I suppose you won’t have the power to assist him again, right?"
Maximus Lee grinned coldly, and as he lifted his hand, another attack swept towards Wyatt Barnes.
"Alchemist Barnes!"
At that time, upon seeing Leilany’s state, Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron, like Maximus Lee, believed that Wyatt Barnes survived the crisis completely because of Leilany. Seeing Maximus Lee strike at Wyatt Barnes again, their expressions changed drastically once more.
The next moment, they intended to step forward to help Wyatt Barnes withstand Maximus Lee’s attack.
However, they hadn’t even managed to act when Maximus Lee’s figure appeared ghostly before them, both hands whipping towards them like fans, encompassing Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron.
"You better take care of yourselves first!"
As Maximus Lee attacked Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron, a cold laugh timely echoed out.
Bang! Bang!
However, after the two palms fell, accompanied by two loud noises, the cold smile on Maximus Lee’s face froze.
It’s because his attack didn’t land on Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron.
Somehow, two figures appeared out of thin air between him and Daven Buckingham, and a layer of golden Buddha shadow also appeared in front of him, forcibly blocking his two palms directed at Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron.
"The so-called number one Immortal Lord in the Six Southeastern Regions? Merely this!"
Holding Leilany in one arm, Wyatt Barnes looked at Maximus Lee with a calm expression, a mocking and disdainful smile tugging at his lips.
The layer of golden Buddha shadow flashing around his body was like an impenetrable barrier, unable to be broken.
Just now, Wyatt Barnes easily blocked Maximus Lee’s second attack.
In fact, after fending off Maximus Lee’s second strike, Wyatt Barnes noticed the danger faced by Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron and promptly moved to rescue them.
"You... how could you..."
At this point, no matter how slow Maximus Lee’s reaction was, he could see it clearly.
Wyatt Barnes had stopped his attacks twice and even saved Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron at the critical moment, relying solely on his own strength.
Not with the help of that woman’s side-effect-laden secret technique.
As a result, Maximus Lee was shocked and incredulous.
Because, as it stands:
The power Wyatt Barnes displayed was far beyond his own, and it seemed out of reach...
"Even an ’Immortal King’ above the level of an Immortal Lord couldn’t appear before me without leaving any trace, right?"
During the process of Wyatt Barnes appearing before Maximus Lee to save Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron, Maximus Lee had no idea how it happened.
In that process, Maximus Lee couldn’t capture any trace of Wyatt Barnes’s figure.
This illustrated a single issue:
Wyatt Barnes’s speed was so swift that even Maximus Lee could hardly capture it.
"Who... who are you really... how... how can you possess such formidable strength..."
Maximus Lee gazed at Wyatt Barnes, his face filled with deep apprehension and terror.
This was the first time he had encountered such an anomaly in his entire life.
Clearly less than a hundred years old, Wyatt was an outstanding top-grade alchemist, and the strength he now displayed far exceeded his own, even surpassing an ordinary Immortal King strongman!
"Elder Ancestor, I didn’t expect Wyatt Barnes to have hidden his strength... His speed is beyond my comprehension. Such a person, once grown, will surely be the bane of our Blissful Zen Sect!"
"You... don’t need to play with him like this, kill him quickly! Spare further trouble for the future!"
Not far away, Killian Diaz, the Blissful Zen Sect’s disciple, stepped forward and spoke to Maximus Lee.
Killian Diaz had no idea what just happened.
Moreover, at this moment, he did not see the apprehension and horror on Maximus Lee’s face.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to speak such words at this time.
With his abilities, he couldn’t see Maximus Lee’s actions or fully grasp what Maximus Lee had done...
When Wyatt Barnes appeared by Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron’s side, he realized he couldn’t discern Wyatt Barnes’s speed.
Even so, he merely thought it was his own inability to comprehend Wyatt’s speed.
In his heart, he still believed:
With his Elder Ancestor, Maximus Lee of the Blissful Zen Sect’s prowess, killing Wyatt Barnes should be effortless.
Seeing no immediate action taken against Wyatt, he thought his master was deliberately toying with Wyatt Barnes, not rushing to kill him...
Thus, he now stepped forward advising Maximus Lee to kill Wyatt Barnes quickly!
"No need to play with him?"
"Kill him quickly?"
However, upon hearing Killian Diaz’s words, Maximus Lee’s heart trembled, only feeling his face burning, and when he looked at Wyatt Barnes again, beyond apprehension and terror, there was also doubt in his eyes.
In that instant, many thoughts raced through his mind.
Most of all, he wondered why this young man under a hundred years could possess such immense strength!
However, he also questioned:
Could the young man’s displayed power be a result of some secret technique...
Otherwise, it’s hard to imagine:
How could someone under a hundred years old, such an exceptional top-grade alchemist, also possess strength surpassing ordinary Immortal Kings...
"Not to mention our Spiritual Heaven, I doubt there exists anyone under a hundred, who is both a top-grade alchemist and an Immortal King, in other worlds. Even an Immortal King under a hundred might not exist."
Killian Diaz thought to himself.
At this point, Maximus Lee became increasingly convinced that the purple-clad youth before him had likely used some secret technique to possess strength surpassing typical Immortal Kings.
"Hmph!"
At the same time, upon hearing Killian Diaz’s words, Wyatt Barnes no longer intentionally hid the aura of the Immortal Origin within him, allowing a small portion to diffuse and emanate terrifying energy around.
"This... this is... this is the aura of an Immortal King!"
Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron, closest to Wyatt Barnes, were the first to react. As they looked at Wyatt Barnes’s back, their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
Earlier, when Wyatt Barnes had saved them, the speed and ease with which he blocked Maximus Lee’s attack made them vaguely aware that Wyatt Barnes’s strength was not inferior to Maximus Lee’s.
Indeed, he might even surpass Maximus Lee!
At that time, they, like Maximus Lee, could tell that the strength Wyatt Barnes showed had no relation to Wyatt Barnes’s Leilany.
Because of this, their hearts were shaken, even to the point of stupefaction.
Until Wyatt Barnes’s Immortal Origin aura spread out, those terrifying energies reminded them of when they had felt the aura belonging to an Immortal King.
The Immortal Origin capable of emitting such terrifying aura is only possessed by an Immortal King.
This was the thought that arose in the minds of Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron.
Even the Immortal Origin of a Monarch Level is nowhere near as terrifying as the Immortal Origin emanating from Wyatt Barnes now.
This, Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron were certain of.
After all, they have seen Monarch Levels before.
They had even witnessed the Monarch Level in action...
Swoosh!
Upon sensing Wyatt Barnes’s Immortal Origin aura and seeing Wyatt Barnes look at him with killing intent, Maximus Lee’s face suddenly changed dramatically, with an instinctive sense of impending doom.
Bang!
Accompanied by a loud bang, Maximus Lee lunged forward as if transformed into a meteor streaking across the night sky, fleeing towards the outskirts of the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s grounds.
Though unsure whether Wyatt Barnes had utilized a secret technique for such strength, Maximus Lee knew he was no match and was left with only the thought of escape.
Leaving without even taking Killian Diaz shows how terrified Maximus Lee was.
However, watching Maximus Lee flee, Wyatt Barnes did not rush to pursue.
"Master Ancestor?"
Upon discovering his master ancestor’s disappearance, Killian Diaz was a bit dazed.
Facing the group before him, including Wyatt Barnes, he also felt somewhat apprehensive.
"Maximus Lee!"
Just as Killian Diaz was feeling uneasy, Wyatt Barnes’s voice rang out, not loud, yet imbued with a special magic that clearly reached the ears of everyone within the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s grounds.
"You think... you can escape?"
Wyatt Barnes’s voice, after spreading through the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s grounds, startled everyone within.
"Is that... Alchemist Barnes’s voice?"
"What’s happening? From Alchemist Barnes’s words... is the ancestor from the Joyous Zen Sect, supposedly unbeatable under the first echelon Monarch Level, ’Maximus Lee’, actually fleeing?"
"Seems so..."
"I heard Alchemist Barnes has connections with prominent families from the central land, perhaps there are stronger than Immortal King figures by his side..."
"Let’s go! Watch the spectacle!"
...
As the grounds of the Taiyi Immortal Sect boiled over, many arose through the air, heading to the various parts above the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s grounds, eager to see the spectacle.
And just at that moment:
Boom!!
Rumble!!
...
With thunderous booms echoing above the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s grounds, everyone was shocked to see the originally blue and white sky suddenly transform into purple.
Moreover, after those booming sounds reverberated through the heavens surrounding the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s grounds, the sky visible from every corner stood as purple.
"My heavens... what... what’s happening?"
"Why has the sky changed?"
"Can anyone tell me...what happened? Why has the sky changed like that?"
...
The Taiyi Immortal Sect’s grounds were turmoil, filled with anxiety and panic over the suddenly transformed sky.
