CHAPTER 1713: CHAPTER 1713: THE DEATH OF JACKIE CLOUD

Seeing Jackie Cloud make a move, Harry Watson, Thomas Watson, and Ian Watson all smiled.

At this moment, they seemed to have already witnessed the scene of the young man being killed.

However, their smiles quickly froze.

From starting to smile to their smiles freezing, all this happened in the blink of an eye, so quickly that ordinary people couldn’t react in time.

The reason for the frozen smiles was that the scene before them was completely unexpected.

Jackie Cloud attacked in anger, his figure blurred, and his speed was so fast that even the three of them could hardly catch a trace... Yet, in an instant later, accompanied by the nearly inaudible sound of a sword, Jackie Cloud’s figure that had disappeared reappeared before their eyes.

But the form in which Jackie Cloud’s figure appeared was different.

To be precise, the body of Jackie Cloud that appeared before them was split into two from top to bottom, a severed body.

Moments later, spurts of dazzling blood sprayed out.

"This..."

Seeing this scene, the three of Harry Watson were dumbfounded.

In one encounter, the incredibly powerful Jackie Cloud in their eyes was killed?

At the same time, seeing Jackie Cloud’s death, Trevor Baillie couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, casting an exaggerated look of astonishment at Wyatt Barnes.

The progress of his junior brother’s cultivation had reached the point where he was almost numb.

A peak Middle Saint Realm powerhouse, killed in just one blow.

This meant that, with the powerful sword, his junior brother could unleash an attack comparable to that of a Great Saint Realm powerhouse!

Only a Great Saint Realm practitioner could possibly kill a peak Middle Saint Realm Jackie Cloud in one encounter.

It should be known that Jackie Cloud was a disciple of the prospective Third-Rate Power Mansion of Azure Clouds, whose depth and skills surely were not simple, among Middle Saint Realm martial artists and Taoist Cultivators, perhaps not the very top, but certainly stronger than many.

And yet, such a person was instantly killed by his junior brother’s single sword strike.

Didn’t even know when his junior brother drew his sword, not even hearing the sound of the sword’s whistle.

Of course, he knew that the sound of the sword whistle must be there, but it was just too brief, and his cultivation too low, so he did not hear it.

It proved Trevor Baillie right.

He did not hear the sword’s whistle, but the three of Harry Watson, already at the Middle Saint Realm, heard it; of course, Harry Watson with the highest cultivation heard it most clearly.

For this reason, watching the severed corpse of Jackie Cloud fall to the ground, Harry Watson’s face turned pale instantly, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Jackie Cloud’s death was something he could never have anticipated.

Remembering his previous ’bullying under the guise of borrowing power,’ provoking the young man before him, his heart trembled again.

If heaven gave him a chance to do it all over again, even if given a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare to provoke the young man as he did before.

"Damn! It’s all Jackie Cloud’s fault! Had he not assured me he’d handle it, I wouldn’t have provoked him."

Thinking of this, Harry Watson looked at Jackie Cloud’s severed body, gnashing his teeth in hatred.

"Who would have thought, with my current Sun True Origin’s capability to wield the Splendid Fairy Sword, I could produce such a powerful strike... This Jackie Cloud, a disciple of that so-called third-rate power Mansion of Azure Clouds with peak Middle Saint Realm cultivation, was instantly killed by my single sword."

At some point, the dazzling golden light on the Splendid Fairy Sword in Wyatt Barnes’ hand had completely retracted, and Wyatt Barnes gently caressed the Splendid Fairy Sword, muttering inwardly.

Whoosh!

Like a cannonball, Wyatt Barnes flew out, retrieved Jackie Cloud’s Storage Ring, and in a flash appeared before Harry Watson, Thomas Watson, and Ian Watson.

At this moment, all three had terribly grim faces, their eyes reflecting fear and terror.

"What? Afraid?"

Seeing their expressions and gazes, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but reveal a wicked smile and mock.

"My lord, it was I, Harry Watson, who failed to recognize Mount Tai. I hope you will forgive me! With your strength, that Demon Sealing Monument is surely yours in the end... How laughable that Jackie Cloud believed himself invincible just because he was a prospective third-rate power Mansion of Azure Clouds disciple, not knowing there are hidden masters like you in the world."

Harry Watson took a deep breath, speaking sycophantically to Wyatt Barnes.

Now he showed none of the previous imposing manner, like a mere street scoundrel.

Seeing Harry Watson like this, even Thomas Watson and Ian Watson couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, witnessing their royal uncle in such a state for the first time, as if he had become a different person.

They didn’t know that Harry Watson was scared to death right now.

If he hadn’t mocked and ridiculed the young man beforehand, maybe with the young man’s abilities, he wouldn’t hold it against him.

But the problem was, he had ridiculed him blatantly before.

He asked himself, if roles were reversed, he certainly wouldn’t let himself off easily.

Actually, after killing Jackie Cloud, Wyatt Barnes didn’t plan to do anything to Harry Watson and the other two. In fact, he didn’t take Harry Watson’s previous words to heart at all.

Just like when you’re walking on the street and a dog barks at you; you can’t just go over and kill it, can you?

However, seeing Harry Watson’s fawning demeanor now, Wyatt couldn’t help but feel a bit disgusted. He casually waved a sword, and before Harry Watson could react, he was also slain by it.

The Middle Saint Realm peak warrior, Jackie Cloud, had already died under his Splendid Fairy Sword.

Not to mention a Middle Saint Realm mid-level martial artist.

Even though he just casually swung his sword, and its power was far from what it was when he killed Jackie Cloud, it wasn’t something Harry Watson could withstand or react to.

"Uncle!"

Seeing Harry Watson die just like that, Thomas and Ian Watson’s faces changed dramatically, crying out in grief.

But, with their eyes red, they didn’t dare show any hatred.

Who knows if this young man in front of them, upon sensing their hatred, would also take a ruthless approach and kill them all?

Even though they wished they could just kill the opponent as well, they knew they didn’t have that ability right now. All they could do was try not to provoke the other party, hoping to save their lives.

However, Wyatt Barnes had no intention of killing Thomas and Ian Watson.

Although killing Thomas and Ian Watson would be exceedingly simple for him now, they were, after all, among the few Middle Saint Realm powerhouses in the Fletcher Kingdom imperial family. If they and Harry Watson both died, without any powerful restrictions, chaos would erupt in the Fletcher Kingdom imperial family.

If chaos erupted in the Fletcher Kingdom imperial family, the complicated web of relationships involved might spread, causing the entire capital city, perhaps even the whole Fletcher Kingdom, to fall into disorder.

In such a case, the Swayer family members, being relatives of the royal kin, would inevitably be implicated, which could also affect the Swayer family.

The Swayer family was the refuge for his relatives and friends, and naturally, he didn’t want anything to happen to the Swayer family.

That’s why he didn’t kill Thomas and Ian Watson.

"The Demon Sealing Monument, I am determined to acquire it! If I find out again that your Fletcher Kingdom imperial family has acted against Wyatt Barnes’ companions, stirring up trouble, I will kill you all!"

Wyatt Barnes glanced coldly at Thomas and Ian Watson before disappearing into thin air in front of them.

As for Trevor Baillie, he didn’t take him away.

His current disguised identity had no connection to Trevor Baillie, making it unsuitable to take Trevor away.

Of course, Wyatt Barnes also understood that even though he left Trevor Baillie behind, as long as Fletcher Kingdom’s Emperor Thomas Watson was smart, he wouldn’t trouble Trevor Baillie anymore.

Sure enough, just as Wyatt thought, Trevor Baillie left the palace without obstruction and smoothly returned to the Swayer family.

Seeing Trevor Baillie return after being taken by the Fletcher Kingdom imperial family’s Sacrificial Officer two months ago, the entire Swayer family was in an uproar. Before this, almost everyone thought Trevor Baillie would never return.

Trevor Baillie would either obediently become the Fletcher Kingdom imperial family’s exclusive Saint Markings master, or die.

In their view, those were the only two choices for Trevor Baillie.

But they never expected Trevor Baillie to return. It was like a sheep escaping the jaws of a tiger.

"Master Baillie!"

Upon learning of Trevor Baillie’s return, Family Head Micah Swayer and his son Beau Swayer personally came out to greet him. Besides joy on their faces, there was also guilt for their inability to prevent the imperial family from taking Trevor Baillie.

Especially Young Master Beau Swayer. Seeing Trevor Baillie truly returned, he let out a long sigh of relief.

He still remembered that Master Wyatt had specifically instructed him to take good care of his relatives and friends before leaving.

When Trevor Baillie was taken away last time, he felt he had failed Master Wyatt deeply, even imposing a self-punishment of kneeling in front of a wall for over a month. Seeing Trevor Baillie safe and back with the Swayer family now, he sighed with relief.

However, after the initial surprise, everyone in the Swayer family, including Family Head Micah Swayer, was filled with curiosity about Trevor Baillie’s experience.

In their eyes, the Fletcher Kingdom imperial family couldn’t possibly let a four-star Saint Markings master go so easily.

This was evident from how Sect Leader Amelia Tyler of the Floating Flame Sect was severely injured when she went to the palace to demand Trevor Baillie’s release not long ago.

"A powerful person saved me,"

Trevor Baillie naturally couldn’t reveal the truth, which his junior brother Wyatt Barnes had specifically instructed him not to do.

"That strong person is interested in my junior brother’s Demon Sealing Monument. He was worried that if something happened to me while being captured and tortured by palace people, it would make my junior brother more alert and hide even deeper... So, he rescued me and warned the Fletcher Kingdom emperor not to target me again."

Hearing Trevor Baillie’s words, Micah Swayer, Beau Swayer, and the others were dumbfounded.

Is that even possible?

"A truly eccentric powerhouse... But luckily, Master Baillie, you encountered such a person. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have returned so quickly."

A Swayer family elder sighed.

Wouldn’t have returned so quickly?

Hearing the Swayer family elder’s remark, Trevor Baillie couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
