Chapter 3066: Marcos

"Liuhe Immortal King?!"

Almost instantly after Wyatt Barnes finished speaking, Liam Davidson’s face changed.

The assassins of the Blood Skeleton Clan who have reached the level of Liuhe Immortal King are not ordinary Liuhe Immortal Kings. The profundities they comprehend in the same law rule are far above most Liuhe Immortal Kings within the Mystic Abyss Mansion.

"That assassin is a Liuhe Immortal King?"

Just as Liam Davidson’s expression changed, outside the canyon, a voice came, quickly followed by a massive shadow almost covering the entire sky above the canyon, like a blot that obscures the sun.

Wyatt Barnes looked and saw a green flying beast resembling an eagle. As he looked over, the green flying beast transformed into a green-robed young man, descended in mid-air, and within moments, arrived beside him and Liam Davidson.

"Wyatt Barnes, this is my second brother, Marcos."

After the green-robed youth appeared, Liam Davidson introduced him to Wyatt Barnes.

Although Wyatt Barnes had been followed by Marcos from the time he left the Po Immortal Sect’s base, he had not met Marcos before, making today their first meeting.

"Thank you, Elder Marcos, for following and protecting me all the way."

When Marcos appeared, Wyatt Barnes had already guessed his identity. Hearing Liam Davidson’s introduction now, he hurriedly bowed in thanks to the newcomer.

"I didn’t expect him to trigger the one-time teleportation array for you; I was careless...Fortunately, you’re unharmed, otherwise I truly wouldn’t know how to face Big Brother."

Marcos said calmly.

Wyatt Barnes was a stranger to him.

The only reason he protected Wyatt Barnes was that his big brother, Liam Davidson, asked him to.

Otherwise, Wyatt’s life or death would mean nothing to him.

Wyatt Barnes understood this, and after thanking Marcos, he shifted his gaze away from him.

"That assassin from the Blood Skeleton Clan, did he comprehend the wind elemental law?"

Marcos swept his gaze over the scarred canyon as he asked Wyatt Barnes.

He too specialized in the wind elemental law and had deep knowledge in this aspect. It was not difficult to discern from the devastated scene that the Blood Skeleton assassin employed the wind elemental law.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

"The Blood Skeleton Clan’s Liuhe Immortal King, comprehending the wind elemental law...including the fundamental profundity, Wind Elemental, he should comprehend at least five wind elemental profundities."

Liam Davidson speculated.

And as far as he knew, assassins like those from Blood Skeleton, top-notch in the South Heaven’s Borderlands, at the level of Liuhe Immortal King generally comprehend five profundities of a single law.

"Five kinds?"

Upon hearing Liam Davidson’s words, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but smile wryly, and his mouth twitched slightly because Liam Davidson underestimated the Blood Skeleton assassin who was just killed.

This Blood Skeleton assassin, if the foundational profundity Wind Elemental of the wind elemental law is counted, has comprehended a total of six wind elemental law profundities!

"Not just five kinds."

Just as Wyatt Barnes was about to mention that the Blood Skeleton assassin had comprehended six wind elemental law profundities, Marcos spoke again:

"Looking at the battle scene between Wyatt Barnes and him, including the fundamental profundity Wind Elemental in the wind elemental law, he has comprehended at least six wind elemental law profundities."

Marcos said.

Marcos’s words made Wyatt Barnes involuntarily give him another glance because Marcos was completely correct!

At the same time, seeing the faint hint of confidence on Marcos’s face, Wyatt Barnes felt a chill run down his spine.

This Marcos, who evidently did not witness the battle between him and the Blood Skeleton assassin, accurately guessed how many wind elemental law profundities the opponent comprehended.

"Second Brother, are you sure?"

Upon hearing Marcos’s words, Liam Davidson looked astonished, "You know, even within an assassin organization like Blood Skeleton, among Liuhe Immortal King-level assassins, those who can comprehend six profundities of a particular law are very few and far between!"

"I’m sure."

Marcos’s gaze swept over the scarred canyon again, "Big Brother, you look at the traces of battle left in the canyon..."

"That... is a trace left by the Alejandro Wind profundity of the wind elemental law."

"That... is a trace left by the Cutting profundity of the wind elemental law."

...

"And these wind elemental law profundities, in a Liuhe Immortal King’s hand, have such power...Considering the pure attack-type Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact nurtured by an Immortal Sovereign in his possession, he must have comprehended the Gathered-Wind profundity of the wind elemental law!"

After successively stating the four wind elemental law profundities besides the fundamental profundity Wind Elemental, Marcos mentioned the fifth profundity of the wind elemental law, Gathered-Wind profundity!

After speaking, Marcos gave Wyatt Barnes a profound look and asked, "Am I correct?"

"Indeed."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, his expression as calm as possible, but inside, his heart was surging with waves of shock.

Taking a deep breath, Liam Davidson looked at Wyatt Barnes and asked, "The Liuhe Immortal King, who comprehended six profound mysteries of the Wind System Law... Wyatt Barnes, even though you have the cultivation of the Ten Directions Immortal King due to using a consumption-type King Grade Immortal Artifact, you’ve only comprehended two profound mysteries of the Earth-attribute Law, correct?"

"How... did you kill him?"

Liam Davidson was filled with curiosity about this.

A Liuhe Immortal King who had comprehended six profound mysteries of the Wind System Law could easily kill a Ten Directions Immortal King who had only comprehended two profound mysteries of the Law.

The gap of four profound mysteries completely outweighs the four levels of cultivation difference of an Immortal King!

For a Ten Directions Immortal King to be on equal footing with a Liuhe Immortal King who has comprehended six profound mysteries of the Wind System Law, they would need to comprehend at least four profound mysteries of a certain Law.

Yet Wyatt Barnes had only comprehended two profound mysteries of the Earth-attribute Law, and even with the cultivation of a Ten Directions Immortal King, he could not possibly be a match for that Blood Skull Assassin!

Perhaps Wyatt Barnes could launch a soul attack, but Law profound mysteries can also be integrated into soul force for an attack.

Even with a soul attack, Wyatt Barnes, who had only comprehended two profound mysteries of the Earth-attribute Law, could not possibly be a match for the Blood Skull Assassin who comprehended six profound mysteries of the Wind System Law.

"Sect Leader..."

Facing Liam Davidson’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes, already prepared, spoke in a timely manner, a hint of apology appearing on his face, "Actually, what I’m proficient in is not the Earth-attribute Law... The Earth-attribute Law is just my second Law, comprehended alongside the Fire Laws."

"I have comprehended four profound mysteries of the Fire Laws... In terms of strength, he and I were actually on par, but by risking everything and burning the entire power granted by the consumption-type Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact, I managed to kill him."

"However, even though I killed him, I was also gravely injured... Even with healing pill medicine, it’ll take at least two to three months of recovery to heal my current injuries."

Speaking this, Wyatt Barnes let out a long sigh.

Comprehended four profound mysteries of the Fire Laws.

This excuse was something Wyatt Barnes had prepared beforehand.

Since he could kill a Liuhe Immortal King level Blood Skull Assassin, he naturally needed an explanation; if Liam Davidson found out he had only comprehended two profound mysteries of the Fire Laws, what would he think?

As the Sect Leader of the Mystic Abyss Mansion, Liam Davidson would not have a hard time attributing everything to his other means...

Immortal Artifacts above Emperor Grade?

Or had he used a consumption-type Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact again?

Indeed, upon witnessing the Blood Skull Assassin’s power earlier, Wyatt Barnes did think about using another consumption-type Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact.

In doing so, he could again briefly possess the Immortal Origin and soul force comparable to an ordinary Immortal Sovereign.

In such a situation, even if he couldn’t kill the Blood Skull Assassin, escaping unscathed wouldn’t be difficult.

As Wyatt Barnes’s words faded, Marcos, appearing as if he had anticipated this, watched Wyatt Barnes with a ’so it seems’ expression while Liam Davidson was momentarily stunned, taking a long time to snap out of it.

In fact, when Marcos observed the battle scars inside the canyon a second time, he was also examining them.

He found no trace of the Earth-attribute Law in the battle scars, only evidence of the Fire Laws.

Because he himself was proficient in the Fire Laws.

At that moment, he wondered:

Could it be that Wyatt Barnes was truly proficient not in the Earth-attribute Law but in the Fire Laws?

In that case, Wyatt Barnes’s choice to not select a King Grade Immortal Method or Divine Ability containing the Earth-attribute Law at the library’s top floor, opting instead for those containing the Fire Laws, would be well explained.

After a moment, Liam Davidson came to, looking at Wyatt Barnes with admiration, saying, "Wyatt Barnes, you are the most monstrous genius I’ve ever seen..."

"Not to mention the history within the Mystic Abyss Mansion, but even within the history of the South Heaven’s Borderlands, I’ve never heard of anyone who, under a century old, not only reached the pinnacle of Love Rowan Upper Immortal in cultivation but also comprehended four profound mysteries of a certain Law!"

As he continued, the light in Liam Davidson’s gaze as he looked at Wyatt Barnes grew even brighter.

"Under a hundred years?"

Hearing Liam Davidson’s words, as Marcos’s gaze returned to Wyatt Barnes, there was a trace of astonishment.

Though he knew his elder brother highly valued Wyatt Barnes — otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent him to the Realm of a Thousand Nations to fetch Wyatt Barnes’s servant, nor would he assign him to protect Wyatt Barnes.

However, he had not known Wyatt Barnes was under a century old.

"Indeed... If he wasn’t such a monster, what reason does the elder brother have to value him so highly?"

At this thought, Marcos was relieved.

"What good is genius if you can’t protect those around you?"

Wyatt Barnes quietly walked to the remains of Ismael Mullins, personally rearranging his fragmented body and giving him a proper burial.

In this instant, as Wyatt Barnes’s eyes reddened, a hint of regret gnawed at his heart, "Maybe if I had insisted Ismael stay in the Autumn Holding Kingdom that day, this tragedy wouldn’t have happened..."

Simultaneously.

At a branch of the Blood Skull Assassin organization outside the Mystic Abyss Mansion, it was discovered that the soul bead of an assassin at the Liuhe Immortal King level had shattered!
