Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2667: ’Golden Body of Ten Zhang

"Mother, it’s him!"

Facing the woman’s question, Anders Mullins immediately looked toward Wyatt Barnes, vicious light flashing in his eyes, like a little dog that had been lying there meek and quiet suddenly turning into a rabid hound, itching to lunge up and take a few bites out of Wyatt Barnes.

The woman was Kathryn Knight, Anders Mullins’ mother. After hearing her son’s words, she too immediately looked toward Wyatt Barnes, killing intent flashing in her eyes.

"Uncle."

When Kathryn Knight looked toward the old man who had come with her, the rage on her face vanished, replaced by a pitiful, delicate expression.

"Elder Nathanael Knight."

And as Kathryn Knight looked at the old man, Khaza Mullins also cast him a glance and greeted him.

This old man was none other than the head of the Inner Mansion Elders of the Nine Nether County’s County Governor’s Mansion, publicly recognized as the number one person beneath the Daai Law Golden Immortal in Nine Nether County.

Among the Inner Mansion Elders of Nine Nether County, only this old man and that Christian Clark surpassed him in strength.

As for why the old man had appeared here, he wasn’t surprised, because he knew that his sister-in-law, Kathryn Knight, was Nathanael Knight’s biological niece.

"Brat, it was you... who wanted to kill my grandnephew?"

Nathanael Knight stared at Wyatt Barnes. Although his gaze was calm, there was no lack of razor-sharp killing intent deep within his eyes.

"Elder Nathanael Knight."

Wyatt Barnes swept Nathanael Knight a faint glance and said, "My advice to you is best not to interfere in this matter... lest you drag your Knight Family into it as well!"

As he spoke to the end, a fierce light flashed through Wyatt’s eyes, as if he were about to devour someone!

When he heard Khaza Mullins address this old man as ’Elder Nathanael Knight’, Wyatt already knew who he was.

The head of the Inner Mansion Elders of the Nine Nether County’s County Governor’s Mansion, Nathanael Knight!

This Nathanael Knight’s strength was even greater than that of the Elder Christian Clark he knew!

Furthermore, this Nathanael Knight was publicly recognized as the number one person beneath the Daai Law Golden Immortal in Nine Nether County.

"What an arrogant tone!"

Almost the instant Wyatt Barnes’ words fell, Nathanael Knight was first stunned, then instantly flew into a rage, his face flushing red, his whole person as if transformed in a blink into an enraged fierce tiger, glaring coldly at Wyatt Barnes.

Waves of powerful aura surged from his body, sweeping toward Wyatt Barnes.

"Who exactly are you?"

Just as Nathanael Knight was glaring at Wyatt like a tiger eyeing its prey, the Mullins Family’s Supreme Elder, Khaza Mullins—an Inner Mansion Elder of the Nine Nether County’s County Governor’s Mansion just like Nathanael Knight—looked gloomily at Wyatt Barnes and asked in a deep voice.

Just now, he had already sent a voice transmission to his elder brother, the Mullins Family Head, Cruz Mullins, to find out the ins and outs of the matter.

He also learned that this person had killed his good friend, the Mullins Family’s Supreme Elder and low-grade Alchemy Immortal Master, Franco Mullins, in the blink of an eye...

Franco Mullins hadn’t even reacted before he died.

Now, he could almost be certain:

This purple-clad young man was at least an existence on the level of a Purple Sun Golden Immortal.

"Who I am is not important."

Faced with Khaza Mullins’ questioning, Wyatt Barnes said indifferently, "Today, as long as your Mullins Family executes Anders Mullins, and then gives me a hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones, the grudge between me and your Mullins Family will be written off... I believe Elder Khaza, you are a smart man."

As he spoke to the end, Wyatt Barnes once again gave Khaza Mullins a deep look.

And the moment Wyatt said this, the entire place instantly fell into a dead silence once more.

Especially the group from the Mullins Family: when they looked at Wyatt Barnes again, their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

"This guy... what an arrogant tone!"

"Not only does he want our Mullins Family to execute Young Master Anders, he actually wants our Mullins Family to give him a hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones?"

"A hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones... even counting the liquid assets on our Mullins Family’s books, there’s no way we can scrape together that many, right?"

"If our Mullins Family really wanted to take out that many top-grade Immortal Stones, there is a way... but we’d have to liquidate some industries."

"Who on earth is he? Elder Khaza and Elder Nathanael Knight, these two Inner Mansion Elders of the County Governor’s Mansion, are both here... yet he still dares to extort our Mullins Family! Could it be that he doesn’t even fear our Nine Nether County’s County Governor’s Mansion?"

...

The group from the Mullins Family simply couldn’t understand where this purple-clad young man got his confidence from, that in a situation like this he still dared to extort their Mullins Family.

"You... you..."

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Khaza Mullins was so enraged his lungs were about to explode. The aura on the surface of his body roiled and surged, Immortal Origin howling out, as if transforming into streams of blazing flames that enveloped him entirely, emitting bursts of ghostly wails and howls.

"Elder Nathanael Knight."

Just as Nathanael Knight was also shocked by Wyatt Barnes’ earlier words, Wyatt swept him a faint glance and said in an even, indifferent tone, "Today, if you truly insist on meddling in this matter, you can... but once you make a move, if you want to resolve things peacefully afterwards, your Knight Family will also have to hand over a hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones."

"Elder Nathanael Knight, you’d better think it through."

As he spoke to the end, Wyatt Barnes once again gave Nathanael Knight a deep look.

"Who exactly are you?!"

Seeing that Wyatt Barnes still dared to threaten him under these circumstances, Nathanael Knight instead calmed down, yet the gaze he cast toward Wyatt still flickered with doubt and alarm.

"Compared to you, Elder Nathanael Knight... I’m nothing more than an unknown nobody."

Wyatt Barnes chuckled lightly, then no longer spared Nathanael Knight a glance. His gaze landed on Anders Mullins, and he bared his teeth in a grin as he said to him, "Anders Mullins... are you thinking right now that with Elder Nathanael Knight and Elder Khaza here, your life should be saved?"

Anders Mullins’s face sank, his gaze flickering uncertainly.

He hadn’t expected that at a time like this, this purple‑clad young man could still look so calm and at ease...

Could it be that he really has some heaven‑shaking backing?

"Uncle, this brat is definitely just putting on an act... he’s deliberately trying to scare you."

Standing by Anders Mullins’s side, Kathryn Knight shot Wyatt Barnes a furious glare, then looked to Nathanael Knight and said.

"It’s not that there isn’t such a possibility."

Hearing Kathryn Knight’s words, Nathanael Knight nodded mildly, then glanced at Wyatt again and said, "However, Yuan’er, in the end, the Mullins Family are the ’hosts’ of today’s affair... If the Mullins Family can resolve this matter today, I have no need to overstep and meddle."

With that, Nathanael Knight made his stance clear:

Before the Mullins Family made a move, he would not act rashly.

"Old ginger really is hotter than fresh..."

Almost the instant Nathanael Knight’s voice fell, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Nathanael Knight’s intentions were not hard for him to guess.

He simply wanted to see whether the Mullins Family could take care of him.

After all, now that the Mullins Family’s Khaza Mullins, whose strength was not much weaker than his, had returned, if Khaza could deal with him, then Nathanael naturally wouldn’t need to lift a hand.

And if Khaza couldn’t deal with him, Nathanael would certainly realize that he himself might not be able to deal with him either.

At that time, Nathanael could completely retreat in the face of difficulty.

That way, he wouldn’t offend him, and wouldn’t drag the Knight Family into the water.

Faced with Nathanael Knight’s stance, Kathryn Knight still wanted to say something, but when she saw Nathanael shake his head at her, she held her tongue for the moment.

However, the gaze she cast toward Wyatt Barnes only grew colder and harsher.

After all, Wyatt wanted her son’s life!

As for why Wyatt wanted her son’s life, she simply didn’t care. In her eyes, her son’s life was the most important; no one’s life could compare to her son’s. As long as her son could live, she wouldn’t care even if ten million people died.

"Good, good... very good!"

Khaza Mullins locked his icy gaze onto Wyatt Barnes and said in a low voice, "Since you’re so confident, then let me, Khaza Mullins, come and experience your methods... I only hope your methods are worthy of that confidence!"

As Khaza Mullins’s words fell, he struck out under the gaze of the crowd.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

...

The instant Khaza made his move, he drew out his Immortal Artifact, a short sword thin as a cicada’s wing, which ripped through the sky, letting out a series of bee‑like hums.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Immediately after, under everyone’s eyes, Khaza’s entire figure seemed to turn into a gust of wind that blew toward Wyatt Barnes. Pursuing along with his charge were the countless afterimage‑like sword rays from the blade in his hand; as the sword rays surged and receded, they emitted waves of extremely ear‑piercing sword cries that seemed to flash and vanish like a bloom of ephemera.

All of a sudden—

Boom!!

Rumble, rumble!!

...

Along with a series of heaven‑shaking, earth‑shattering rumbles, Khaza Mullins’s Immortal Origin on his body surged madly, rising like flames, and finally condensed into a humanoid giant beast over a hundred meters tall. As it charged out together with Khaza, it caused an uproar like the world was being torn apart.

"Hm?"

Just when Wyatt Barnes thought Khaza Mullins’s methods were only so much, a scene that shocked him to the core appeared:

He saw Khaza, who was charging out, along with the countless afterimage‑like sword rays blooming from the Immortal Sword in his hand, suddenly merge into one with that humanoid giant beast in a blur.

In the end, the humanoid giant beast vanished.

And Khaza Mullins’s body began to swell in a bizarre way, and once it started, it simply wouldn’t stop!

In the end, Khaza, who had originally been just over one meter eighty in height, suddenly became over thirty meters tall, turning into a giant whose aura was overwhelming, blotting out the sky and covering the sun.

"It’s not an illusion... his body actually seems to have really grown bigger!"

Extending his Divine Sense, Wyatt Barnes easily discovered that Khaza Mullins’s body actually seemed to have truly become larger, rather than being just an illusion.

Of course, Wyatt understood in his heart:

This only very much seemed like his body had really grown larger; it was impossible for it to be a true physical enlargement.

"What a brilliant technique!"

Wyatt Barnes understood that this was definitely an Immortal Method or Divine Ability that Khaza Mullins had unleashed, allowing his body to become almost truly this large, making Wyatt, his opponent, seem in Khaza’s eyes like a mere insignificant ant.

"Elder Khaza has used... the Ten‑Zhang Golden Body?"

"This ’Ten‑Zhang Golden Body’ is an extremely difficult auxiliary‑type low‑grade Immortal Method to cultivate... Once mastered, it can cause the cultivator’s body to swell, becoming nearly ten‑plus times larger in a near‑real manner!"

...

Right on cue, the murmured discussions of several Mullins Family elders reached Wyatt Barnes’s ears.
