Chapter 2603: Staff Shakes the Mountains and Rivers
"Hector Simplicity!"
"I’ll give you three breaths to prepare... You can use all your means!"
"If, after three breaths, I, Wyatt Barnes, cannot defeat you in one strike... then, this position of Centurion in the Black Dragon Army, I, Wyatt Barnes, might as well not have it!"
...
Wyatt Barnes’ icy voice spread, plunging the entire Valley of the God of War into deathly silence, echoing in the ears of everyone within for a long time, as if the lingering sound never faded.
Including the Black Dragon Army Commander-in-Chief, "Makai Holland," and today’s other main character, Centurion "Hector Simplicity," everyone was shocked by Wyatt Barnes’ words and couldn’t recover for a while.
Just because Wyatt Barnes’ words were so terrifying!
"Could it be that I’ve underestimated this Centurion Wyatt Barnes?"
Makai Holland was the first to recover and, upon looking at Wyatt Barnes again, couldn’t help but reveal an expression of incredulous doubt.
As the Commander-in-Chief of the Black Dragon Army, he has his own judgment.
Wyatt Barnes’ current behavior, though seemingly arrogant, upon close observation, revealed:
Wyatt Barnes exuded an incredibly powerful self-confidence!
And such confidence is not something ordinary people have.
People who are bluffing cannot have this kind of confidence.
This was Makai Holland’s assessment.
"Hahahaha... Hahahahahaha..."
Just as Makai Holland was looking at Wyatt Barnes with disbelief and doubt, Hector Simplicity had just regained his composure and couldn’t help but let out a bout of laughter, a laugh so unrestrained as if he had heard the world’s funniest joke.
With Hector Simplicity’s laughter, the rest of the people in the Valley of the God of War also came to their senses.
"This Centurion Wyatt Barnes... actually... actually said he would defeat Centurion Hector Simplicity in one strike? My god... Is he... is he joking?!"
"Defeat Centurion Hector Simplicity in one strike? Within our Black Dragon Army, perhaps only the Commander-in-Chief has that capability, right?"
"If he truly has that kind of strength... why would he join our Black Dragon Army as a Centurion?"
"I think... he’s most likely bluffing. Perhaps, this is a psychological tactic against Centurion Hector Simplicity."
"A psychological tactic? In the current situation, Centurion Hector Simplicity didn’t seem affected by his words."
...
Amidst the discussions among most of the Black Dragon Army soldiers, they all felt that Wyatt Barnes was bragging and bluffing and did not believe Wyatt Barnes truly had the strength to defeat Hector Simplicity in one strike.
"What is the Centurion doing..."
"Although I believe his strength is not below Hector Simplicity’s, him wanting to defeat Hector Simplicity in one strike seems impossible, doesn’t it?"
"What’s the Centurion doing? He actually said he would renounce the position of Centurion if he couldn’t defeat Hector Simplicity in one strike? Does he really not want to be our Centurion that much?"
...
Now, even Wyatt Barnes’ subordinates in the Black Dragon Army were stunned by his words.
Although they had confidence in Wyatt Barnes, believing he couldn’t lose to Hector Simplicity,
they never expected:
Wyatt Barnes could defeat Hector Simplicity in one strike!
If Hector Simplicity were merely an ordinary Centurion who hadn’t yet become a "Golden Immortal," they believed that their Centurion’s strength could defeat him in one strike.
But the problem was, Hector Simplicity was not only no ordinary Centurion but had been their Black Dragon Army Centurion and a "Golden Immortal powerhouse" for quite some time!
Such a person, throughout the entire Black Dragon Army camp, perhaps only their Commander-in-Chief has the ability to defeat in one strike.
"Arrogant!"
"I think he’s crazy!"
Standing behind Makai Holland were four Black Dragon Army Centurions, and apart from Ares Cooper and Eastern Dunn, who just slightly frowned, Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran couldn’t help but snicker.
Knowing earlier that Wyatt Barnes was merely a "Purple Moon Celestial," they inherently looked down on him.
Now, Wyatt Barnes, in front of so many people, claimed he would defeat Hector Simplicity in one strike...
They naturally didn’t believe it!
In their view, this Wyatt Barnes had completely lost his mind!
"Wyatt Barnes!"
At the same time, Hector Simplicity’s laughter subsided, and when he looked at Wyatt Barnes again, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he scornfully and disdainfully said, "Defeating you, a mere Purple Moon Celestial, doesn’t require me to use all my means and power."
"I only need to use half of my strength to utterly crush you, a mere Purple Moon Celestial!"
As the words fell, the Immortal Origin that Hector Simplicity had been accumulating within erupted from his body, like dragons breaking free from the shackles of a cage, once unleashed, became incredibly fierce and spirited!
"Wyatt Barnes, I don’t even need to use an Immortal Artifact... Just one strike can defeat you!"
As he suddenly roared this sentence, his Immortal Origin burst forth, lifting his entire body into the air.
The Immortal Origin swirling around him, resembling a mighty dragon, at this time, also transformed into the shape of a pair of wings.
Clearly, it was a body movement type Divine Ability he mastered.
As for the body movement type Immortal Method he possessed, he didn’t use it because he felt it was unnecessary.
Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
...
In the void, a sound akin to wailing ghosts and howling wolves echoed.
Hector Simplicity opened and closed his hands, and the Immortal Origin Force winding around his body quickly coalesced in his hands, transforming into a long staff.
Evidently, Hector Simplicity’s weapon of choice is the ’staff’!
"Staff Shakes Mountains and Rivers!"
As Hector Simplicity abruptly shouted, he was already not far from Wyatt Barnes.
At this speed, catching up to Wyatt Barnes was merely a matter of moments, if he wished...
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
...
As Hector Simplicity’s shout faded, the long staff formed by Immortal Origin Force in his hands split the air, charging towards Wyatt Barnes with the power to shake mountains and rivers!
"With Hector Simplicity’s strength, this staff strike is enough to easily defeat a Purple Moon Celestial!"
"This staff strike from Hector Simplicity contains the wonders of the Immortal Method and Divine Ability... This ’Staff Shakes Mountains and Rivers’ is his attack technique, combining his grasp of Immortal Method and Divine Ability, and its power should not be underestimated."
At that moment, Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran, Centurions behind Black Dragon Army’s Commander-in-Chief, Makai Holland, watched Hector Simplicity’s rapid assault on Wyatt Barnes with admiration.
They seemed to already witness the scene of Wyatt Barnes being defeated.
"I’d like to see... how you claim it takes one strike to defeat Hector Simplicity..."
Makai Holland, muttering inwardly, also locked his gaze on Wyatt Barnes.
In his view, facing Hector Simplicity’s fierce and fast attack, Wyatt Barnes remained calm throughout.
As if, in his eyes, Hector Simplicity’s ferocious attack was insignificant.
"Hmm?"
Amidst the lightning and thunder, Makai Holland closely observed Wyatt Barnes, catching a fleeting look of disdain in Wyatt’s eyes.
By this time, Hector Simplicity’s long staff, carrying the force to shake mountains and rivers, struck violently towards Wyatt Barnes, drawing ever closer...
Later, it was within mere inches.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
...
In the nick of time, sharp, sky-slashing sword whistles arose.
Under the watchful eyes of onlookers, dazzling sword rays burst forth from various parts of Wyatt Barnes’s body, seemingly emerging from every pore, countless in number, at least in the thousands at a glance.
Just as everyone in the God of War Valley was drawn to the countless dazzling sword rays radiating from Wyatt Barnes’s body.
Bang!!
A dull rumble, like drumbeats, resonated in everyone’s ears.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Amidst thunderous explosive sounds, a fierce wind swept through the vast God of War Valley, causing some weaker Black Dragon Army soldiers to squint.
Under the watchful eyes of onlookers, an enormous sword appeared beneath Wyatt Barnes’ feet.
This giant sword, formed from the countless sword rays emanating from Wyatt Barnes, hovered at his feet like a solid wall, blocking Hector Simplicity’s fierce and powerful staff strike!
In full view, Hector Simplicity’s staff, striking the giant sword at Wyatt Barnes’ feet, caused his hands to tremble violently.
"Ah—"
When the long staff formed by Immortal Origin Force was shattered and vanished, he was blown away like an arrow leaving the bowstring, vomiting a mouthful of congealed blood as he flew.
Blood scattered across the sky, strikingly vivid!
"Wyatt Barnes, I want you dead! I want you dead!!"
As everyone was utterly startled by the scene before them, Hector Simplicity’s body halted after being blown away, and he let out a roar from deep within his throat.
His eyes blazed with humiliation and fury, as though capable of burning everything to ashes!
Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
...
The ghostly howls and cries resounded once more.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
...
When Hector Simplicity attacked again in anger, he not only wielded his Immortal Artifact staff but also unleashed auxiliary Divine Abilities he hadn’t shown before, elevating his Immortal Origin Force by a whole tier and once again performing his attack technique:
Staff Shakes Mountains and Rivers!
The same technique, executed with full force this time, was incomparable to before.
With his full force unleashed, Hector Simplicity’s Immortal Artifact staff roared out like a pillar that spanned the sky, crashing down, threatening to destroy everything!
Bang!!
Finally, his Immortal Artifact staff violently struck the gigantic sword suspended beneath Wyatt Barnes’ feet like a solid barricade.
The power of Staff Shakes Mountains and Rivers unleashed anew!
Of course, this time the power emanating from the technique was two whole levels stronger than before!
