Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Return to the Seven Stars Sword Clan
At this mont, Dariel Burton is thoroughly frightened.
Just a mont ago, he dared to confront Wyatt Barnes because he had never imagined that Wyatt might be driven to kill him...
Now, with death closing in, he is filled with fear from the bottom of his heart!
He doesn’t want to die!
Even if he were to be crippled, even if he were to beco unremarkable in the future, he doesn’t wish to die.
if he were to die, there would be nothing left!
"I beg you... Wyatt Barnes, I beg you! Don’t kill , please don’t kill ..."
Dariel Burton looks at Wyatt Barnes, hysterically crying and begging for rcy.
The current Dariel Burton stands before Wyatt Barnes with none of his previous arrogance; his face is incredibly pale, hoping only that Wyatt Barnes might show rcy.
A cold sneer creeps upon Wyatt Barnes’s lips.
He hadn’t expected Dariel Burton to be such a weakling, pretending to be tough but essentially weak, which disgusted him thoroughly.
Had Dariel Burton been able to maintain his initial bravado, he might have earned so respect from Wyatt Barnes.
But now...
He doesn’t even feel like killing Dariel Burton anymore.
Despite this feeling, he also knew that He must kill Dariel Burton, not just for himself but also for Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz.
Dariel Burton, alive and well, would be nothing but a nace.
Seeing Wyatt Barnes remain unmoved, Dariel Burton turns his attention to Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz, pleading in a quivering voice, "Leah, Chaim, it was all my fault... I beg you, plead with Wyatt Barnes to spare ... I don’t want to die, I really don’t... Please..."
"Hmph!"
Chaim Cruz glances at Dariel Burton coldly, not reacting to his pleas.
Leah Sykes looks at him, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions. On her face, there is a trace of pity.
Dariel Burton captures Leah Sykes’s expression, a flicker of hope from within his eyes telling him that there might be a way out of this. His body moves, he forces himself to fall before Leah, his face sared with blood as he lands on the ground.
Dariel Burton raises his head, his face covered in blood, a regretful look in his eyes. He looks at Leah Sykes and begs, "Leah, I beg you... save , please! I don’t want to die, I really don’t... Please!"
While imploring, he slams his forehead repeatedly against the ground, blood pouring from the cut.
"Dariel Burton, do you think your ’self-harming strategy’ will be effective?"
Watching this scene unfold, Wyatt Barnes frowns, worried that Leah Sykes might be fooled by Dariel Burton, his face stiffens as he speaks out.
"Leah, I beg you, please!"
However, Dariel Burton, as if he hadn’t heard Wyatt Barnes, continuously kowtows to Leah Sykes, revealing a pitiful look on his face, "Consider the help I’ve given you and Chaim in the past, please help ... I really don’t want to die!"
"Dariel Burton, you helped us? Every ti we entered the prival forest, weren’t you the one who picked the best items first? Weren’t you the one who always took the most valuable materials first?"
Hearing Dariel Burton’s words, Chaim Cruz’s face darkens.
"Why waste words with him? Just kill him with one stroke."
Wyatt Barnes’s eyes are icy as he steps forward, the three-foot-long blade in his hand shimring with a cold glow...
"Leah!"
Seeing Wyatt Barnes approach, Dariel Burton’s face changed dramatically. Looking at Leah Sykes, he makes his last effort, pleading in desperation, "I really don’t want to die... please save , save ! I swear, as long as you don’t kill , I will never bother you again, nor will I let my brother bother you!"
A swear?
Wyatt Barnes scoffs, would he trust the words of such a vicious man in the face of death?
At least, he didn’t!
"Wyatt Barnes."
A sudden voice interrupts, the speaker is Leah Sykes.
Wyatt Barnes frowns, looking at Leah Sykes, "Leah, you’re not actually believing his lies, are you? This man cannot be spared, he’s nothing but trouble."
Leah Sykes took a deep breath, looking at Dariel Burton’s blood-streaked face and sighed, speaking quietly, "Wyatt Barnes, the things Dariel Burton did today are indeed unforgivable... However, the three of us are okay. Even though Dariel Burton lost a leg, I believe he learned his lesson. Can you spare him?"
"Wyatt Barnes, I swear I won’t bother you two again, I promise!"
Hearing Leah Sykes speak on his behalf, Dariel Burton’s eyes lit up. He looks at Wyatt Barnes and piles onto Leah’s plea.
"Spare him?"
Wyatt Barnes looks at Dariel Burton, eyebrows furrowed, "Leah, to , sparing him doesn’t matter. But for you two, he will always remain a threat. Your decision might bring trouble to both you and Chaim."
"Wyatt Barnes, I know you are worried about Chaim and ... But Dariel Burton has sworn."
Leah Sykes adds.
Wyatt Barnes’s lips curve into a bitter smile. Leah Sykes actually believes Dariel Burton’s vow?
"Chaim, what do you think?"
Wyatt Barnes looks at Chaim Cruz, asking for his opinion.
Chaim Cruz is silent. He too has been moved by Leah’s words.
Seeing Dariel Burton’s leg that has been ripped off by the ’Savage Leopard’, he sighs and shakes his head at Wyatt Barnes.
In that instant, Wyatt Barnes understands what Chaim ans.
"Fine... Since both of you have shown compassion, I won’t be the villain."
Wyatt Barnes sighs and sheathes his Seven Stars Spirit Sword, slowly turning his attention back to Dariel Burton...
When the current Dariel Burton heard Wyatt Barnes’s words, and saw Wyatt Barnes sheathe his sword. he breaths a sigh of relief. He collapses on the ground, his eyes filled with joy for surviving this catastrophe.
"Dariel Burton!"
Wyatt Barnes’s voice is icy and indifferent, causing Dariel Burton to shiver, glancing at Wyatt Barnes with so lingering fear.
At the mont, he doesn’t dare to talk back to Wyatt Barnes.
He already knew that this Wyatt Barnes might be young, but his actions were extrely decisive and cunning...
Earlier, if Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz hadn’t pleaded to spare his life, he would’ve been dead by now.
"I’m warning you...When you get back, don’t you dare try anything funny! Otherwise, I’ll make sure you have nowhere to be buried!"
As Wyatt Barnes spoke, a terrifying murderous intention rose from him, covering Dariel Burton. Dariel’s face turned pale, his eyes filled with fear...
Dariel couldn’t believe that a young man who appeared to be barely twenty could possess such a horrifying intention to kill!
How many people had he killed?!
He didn’t dare to imagine it!
"Are you planning to go deeper into the primal forest or return back?"
When Wyatt Barnes looked towards Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz, the murderous intent on his face vanished, replaced with a warm smile.
"Let’s return."
Leah Sykes felt sowhat dispirited, the events of the day had left her feeling tired.
Chaim Cruz also agreed with a nod.
"Then let’s return!"
Wyatt Barnes nodded, they turned around and began their journey out of the primal forest.
As for Dariel Burton, after Wyatt and the others had vanished from sight, he stood up using the Seventh Tier spirit sword as a crutch.
He hobbled out of the primal forest, using the spirit sword as a substitute for his amputated leg.
He knew for certain, staying in his current condition would be suicidal...
"Wyatt Barnes, Leah Sykes, Chaim Cruz...I, Dariel Burton, will never let you off! You, prepare to bear the wrath of my brother!"
Dariel Burton wiped the blood off his face, a glint of vengeful murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
The current Dariel Burton was completely different from the one who had just begged for his life...
Outside the primal forest.
The trio of Wyatt Barnes let out a sigh of relief. Having left the primal forest, there was no longer a need to remain on guard for Fierce Beasts.
Their previously tense nerves began to relax.
"Wyatt Barnes, you’re so amazing! You’re around twenty years old now, aren’t you?"
Leah Sykes looked at Wyatt Barnes with admiration and devotion.
"I’ll be turning twenty next month."
Wyatt Barnes responded with a smile.
He will turn twenty in a month?
At Wyatt’s admission, both Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz were dumbstruck.
Although they had suspected that he might be under twenty...
When Wyatt Barnes actually confird it, they couldn’t help but feel a tremor in their hearts. They were awestruck and the surprise was hard to calm down.
Not yet twenty, yet already at the fifth stage of the Original Pill Realm!
Saying he was a ’freakishly talented prodigy’ seed insufficient to describe his ability.
"Freak!"
Chaim Cruz, after a long pause, bestowed Wyatt Barnes with these two words.
Wyatt Barnes scratched his nose awkwardly.
It seed that wherever he went, he couldn’t shake off the term ’freak’.
"Wyatt Barnes, how did you cultivate to reach such level?"
Leah Sykes was amazed at his achievents at such a young age but more than that, she was curious about his cultivation thods.
"I don’t even know... Just kept practising casually, and before I knew it, I was this far along."
Wyatt Barnes shrugged his shoulders, shaking his head with a smile.
"Leah, every martial artist on the Cloud Skies Continent has different talents... Wyatt’s talent is undoubtedly top tier. This is sothing we can’t envy."
Chaim Cruz shook his head, he was clear about his position.
"You say so, but isn’t the gap just too big?"
Leah looked at Wyatt and blinked her spirited eyes, full of admiration and jealousy.
Soon, the trio returned to the foot of the ’Heavenly Pivot Peak’, the Primary Peak of the Seven Stars Sword Clan.
"Leah, Chaim... You shouldn’t have spared Dariel back there. I have a feeling he won’t just let it go."
Wyatt Barnes thought back to earlier happenings and felt so regret. He should have killed Dariel Burton when he had the chance and he wouldn’t have to worry about it now.
"Wyatt Barnes, Dariel Burton indeed deserved to die. But his pitiful appearance earlier and the fact that none of us got hurt... I think the cri doesn’t deserve death."
Leah uttered a sigh and her eyes shone with a hint of sensitivity.
Wyatt smiled bitterly.
Are all won this sensitive?
"Wyatt Barnes, I understand your concern for us. However, within the Seven Stars Sword Clan, I believe that neither Dariel Burton nor his brother would dare to act recklessly."
Chaim Cruz gave Wyatt a reassuring smile.
"I hope so."
Wyatt nodded somberly. What’s done is done and worrying would be of no use now.
Besides, even if he wanted to return and rectify his mistake, it would be nearly impossible to find Dariel now.
