Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2663: Intercept and Kill

From the moment Anders Mullins entered, Wyatt Barnes merely cast him a fleeting glance, and thereafter, did not spare him another look.

Even now, as Anders Mullins employs the ’Mullins Family’ to threaten him, Wyatt remains indifferent.

The Mullins Family in the County City of Nine Nether County, though Wyatt has never interacted with them, he’s heard of them as one of the most formidable families in Nine Nether County’s County City, comparable to the Clark Family backing the elder he knows, Christian Clark.

In fact, due to Christian Clark, the influence of the Clark Family is even slightly more formidable than that of the Mullins Family.

Not to mention the Mullins Family.

Even facing the Clark Family, Wyatt Barnes is unafraid.

Currently, in Wyatt’s eyes, Anders Mullins, who imagines he can act with impunity by using the Mullins Family as a shield, is akin to a ’jumping clown,’ utterly inconsequential!

Therefore, Wyatt doesn’t even bother to spare him a glance.

"You... you dare to ignore me?"

Witnessing Wyatt Barnes completely disregard him, Anders Mullins is instantly infuriated, and waves of Immortal Origin begin to disperse from his body, ready to burst forth.

Just as Anders Mullins couldn’t hold back, intending to make a move against Wyatt Barnes.

"Who are you?"

The elder following behind Anders Mullins, who has maintained a stoic expression from the beginning, steps forward to block Anders Mullins from taking action, while also looking toward Wyatt Barnes and asking gravely.

This elder, initially expressionless, now bears a somewhat solemn expression.

His eyes are filled with a wary hue.

The purple-clad young man before him, while he doesn’t know Wyatt’s ’background,’ the fact that Wyatt is here to purchase the herbs required for crafting the Top-grade Immortal Pill ’Spirit Essence Pill’ indicates that Wyatt has at least one Top-grade Alchemist behind him.

Or perhaps, Wyatt himself might very well be an alchemist!

Of course, the elder more strongly suspects there’s an alchemist behind Wyatt...

Because, based on sensing the inadvertent aura from Wyatt’s flesh, the elder estimates Wyatt’s age does not exceed a century.

And he has never heard of anyone who could become an alchemist under the age of one hundred.

Even someone who becomes a ’Top-grade Alchemist’ before the age of one hundred, he has never heard of.

Though he believes someone under the age of one hundred might acquire ’Immortal Fire,’

However, successfully crafting pills, becoming an alchemist, after obtaining Immortal Fire, though not exceedingly difficult, requires a long process of time and experience.

After all, the technique and experience in alchemy demand a prolonged period of practice and accumulation.

Certainly, he also knows in his heart:

Just because he hasn’t heard of someone under the age of one hundred being a Top-grade Alchemist doesn’t mean there aren’t any...

He only knows that within King Cooper’s domain, there are no Top-grade Alchemists under the age of one hundred.

"Someone you can’t afford to provoke."

Wyatt Barnes gave the elder a deep look and replied.

As Anders Mullins intended to act, Wyatt sensed the murderous intent directed at him, only to find that before Anders could make a move, he was stopped by the elder.

This took Wyatt by surprise.

For this reason, he entertained the elder’s inquiry.

Upon finishing his reply, ignoring the elder’s gloomy expression, Wyatt withdrew his gaze and immediately looked toward the interior of the herbal shop.

There, a clerk was approaching with a Storage Ring.

"Sir, the herbs you requested are all inside... a total of three hundred and seventy-three sets of herbs for crafting the Top-grade Immortal Pill ’Spirit Essence Pill.’ Normally, our shop sells one set of herbs for a Spirit Essence Pill at one Top-grade Immortal Stone. Given your purchase of this quantity, it will be three hundred and seventy Top-grade Immortal Stones."

The clerk respectfully addressed Wyatt Barnes.

Since realizing that the purple-clad young man before him was not affiliated with the Mullins Family, he knew the alchemist behind Wyatt was not one of the three Top-grade Alchemists from the County Governor’s Mansion or Mullins Family, but likely an outsider.

And an outsider alchemist, whether visiting Nine Nether County’s County City for business or exploration, is not someone his family can easily provoke.

"Three hundred and seventy Top-grade Immortal Stones... Can you afford that?"

Originally humiliated by Wyatt’s remark ’someone you can’t afford to provoke,’ Anders Mullins, upon hearing the clerk, smirked at Wyatt Barnes.

As if not believing for a moment that Wyatt could muster such a sum of Top-grade Immortal Stones.

Three hundred and seventy Top-grade Immortal Stones!

That’s no small amount.

Even within their Mullins Family, only a few among the high ranks can produce such a sum all at once.

"Here are four hundred Top-grade Immortal Stones."

With a casual gesture, Wyatt Barnes passed a deauthorized Storage Ring to the clerk, saying indifferently, "You can keep the extra Top-grade Immortal Stones... I’m quite pleased with your service."

As he spoke, Wyatt casually glanced at Anders Mullins and the elder standing in front of him.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Upon receiving Wyatt’s words, the clerk eagerly took the Storage Ring, eyes gleaming and breath quickening.

This was the first time in his life meeting such a generous guest...

Those thirty Top-grade Immortal Stones were quite a windfall!

"Indeed."

Moments later, the clerk confirmed the existence of the Top-grade Immortal Stones in the Storage Ring and handed over the ring filled with herbs to Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt authenticated the ring and quickly glanced inside before nodding in acknowledgment.

"Do you know where I can buy a medicine tripod for alchemy?"

After putting away the Storage Ring, Wyatt Barnes asked the attendant again.

Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, both the attendant and Anders Mullins along with the elder beside him couldn’t help but twitch their mouths.

From the words of this purple-clothed youth, does he intend to buy a medicine tripod?

"Sir... You... You’re not planning to do the alchemy yourself, are you?"

The attendant looked at Wyatt in disbelief and then added, "Or is it that alchemist behind you doesn’t have a medicine tripod at hand, and you need to buy it for him?"

"I’m doing the alchemy myself."

Wyatt said, "Just tell me if you know... If you do, tell me. If you don’t, I’ll find it myself."

"I know, I know."

Faced with the generous customer who had given him thirty Top-grade Immortal Stones as a ’tip’, the attendant naturally answered without reservation, and told Wyatt Barnes all the places he knew where medicine tripods were sold.

Among them, he particularly mentioned the place closest to this herbal shop where medicine tripods were available.

"Thanks."

After learning where he could buy medicine tripods, Wyatt thanked the attendant and left the herbal shop.

"Hmph!"

After Wyatt left, Anders Mullins gave the attendant a cold glare and then departed the herbal shop with the elder.

"Uncle Dawn... Why don’t we take a cut? That guy, although he has quite a few Top-grade Immortal Stones, his age doesn’t seem to be too high. If he isn’t too old, his cultivation can’t be that high either."

Upon leaving the herbal shop, Anders Mullins’ eyes flickered with a cold light as he suggested to the elder beside him.

"He’s less than a hundred years old."

The elder said.

"Less than a hundred years?"

Although Anders Mullins could sense Wyatt’s age wasn’t very high, he couldn’t ascertain his exact age.

Now, hearing the elder say Wyatt is less than a hundred years old, his heart immediately started to move.

"Young Master, though he’s less than a hundred years... From the four hundred Top-grade Immortal Stones he casually took out, it’s evident his background is extraordinary. Moreover, the aura he unintentionally exudes makes it clear he’s no ordinary person."

The elder hesitated and said, "If we make a move on him... Wouldn’t it be too risky?"

Although the elder had followed Anders Mullins in this kind of ’business’ before.

This time, he felt uneasy.

That purple-clothed youth gave him a sense of someone not to be trifled with.

"Don’t worry."

Anders Mullins gave the elder a reassuring look, "Don’t forget, we’ve never failed!"

On the other side.

Wyatt Barnes crossed road after road, heading to the shop the attendant at the herbal store mentioned that sold medicine tripods.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Wyatt’s heart tightened, and his eyes narrowed into slits, a gleam of cold flashing through them.

"So, they’ve actually followed... What exactly are they planning?"

Originally intending to increase his pace, Wyatt instead entered an alley.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just as Wyatt entered the alley, two figures appeared beside him, one after the other, staring at him fiercely.

It was Anders Mullins and the elder beside him.

"You... What do you want?"

Even when Anders Mullins and the elder appeared before him, Wyatt didn’t glance at them directly, asking calmly.

"Kid... Running into me today is just plain bad luck for you."

Seeing Wyatt still so composed at this point, Anders Mullins’ face darkened, and he said maliciously, "Though I don’t know where that alchemist behind you comes from, today, you won’t leave here!"

"What? You want to keep me here?"

Wyatt’s tone remained calm.

"Not only will we keep you, but we’ll kill you! If there’s a next life, remember these four words... Don’t flaunt your wealth!"

Anders Mullins sneered.

As soon as his words fell, without waiting for Wyatt to respond, Anders Mullins suddenly shouted, "Uncle Dawn, do it!"

Bam!!

Following Anders Mullins’ shout, a loud noise erupted, sounding like the crack of doom.

It was the elder standing behind Wyatt, his body swaying as he struck with lightning speed.

After the thunderous noise, overwhelming palm prints covered the sky like dark clouds pressing down on the city, enveloping Wyatt entirely.

"Hmph!"

Upon sensing the elder’s attack, Wyatt’s eyes cooled, accompanied by a snort.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

...

Thousands of sword beams burst forth from Wyatt Barnes, making him look like he had transformed into a blazing sun.
