CHAPTER 2059: CHAPTER 2059: SLAP!!

Bruce?

Upon hearing this true disciple’s exclamation, Wyatt Barnes’ eyes involuntarily narrowed again.

Although he had never met a person by this name, he had heard of him more than once.

Bruce, ranked ’second’ on the True Inheritance List among true disciples, entered ’Saint Immortal Third Change’ years ago, and is one of the prominent figures among the Fire Worship Sect’s true disciples.

Additionally, he is also the second prodigy among the eight great prodigies of the current young generation of Fire Worship Sect!

Moreover, he is the personal disciple of the Azure Dragon Altar’s ’altar master’, one of the Four Symbols Altars of the Fire Worship Sect, and is the elder brother of the former rank ninth ’Emma Wenston’ on the True Inheritance List.

The reason for saying ’former’ is because after Wyatt Barnes fought his way to the fourth place on the True Inheritance List, it also caused the fourth to ninth ranks on the True Inheritance List to move back one position...

As for the person in tenth place on the True Inheritance List, they were directly eliminated from the list!

Now, Emma Wenston is ranked tenth on the True Inheritance List, becoming the gatekeeper of the list, and could be replaced at any time!

"Second on the True Inheritance List? Saint Immortal Third Change?"

Upon realizing the young man beside Emma Wenston was Bruce, Wyatt Barnes’ eyes narrowed again, also realizing the visitor’s unfriendly intentions.

The opponent clearly came for Emma Wenston’s revenge!

For this, he was mentally prepared.

"Unexpectedly, during the time I was at the Enforcement Hall, Bruce actually returned."

Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes also realized Bruce should have just returned to the Fire Worship Sect not long ago, otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited until now to create trouble.

"Elder brother, he’s Wyatt Barnes!"

Even from quite a distance, Emma Wenston couldn’t help pointing at Wyatt Barnes, speaking forlornly to Bruce beside her: "That day, it was he who publicly slapped me several times, causing me great humiliation!"

"Losing face isn’t the worst... his actions not only humiliated me but also brought shame to you, elder brother, and to our revered master! Unknown to others, they might think you’re unable to protect your younger sister or that our master can’t protect his personal disciples."

As Emma Wenston complained, she poured out her grievances to Bruce beside her, intending to stir up even greater fury in Bruce.

"Don’t worry, younger sister... Today, with your elder brother here, we will seek justice for you!"

Listening to Emma Wenston’s complaints, Bruce looked at her with near-indulgent affection.

But when his gaze left Emma Wenston and shifted onto the distant Wyatt Barnes, a frigid intent to kill flashed in his eyes, craving blood.

Indeed, Emma Wenston’s complaints were effective, successfully inciting Bruce’s overwhelming fury!

Throughout the Fire Worship Sect, the two most important people to Bruce are his younger sister ’Emma Wenston’ and his master.

And now, the true disciple standing afar, named ’Wyatt Barnes’, not only massively humiliated his younger sister publicly but indirectly shamed his master.

How could he not be furious?

A group of Holy Land disciples following Bruce and Emma Wenston naturally was passively joining to watch the spectacle.

Just now, Bruce’s earth-shattering shout naturally startled them.

Considering Wyatt Barnes had left the ’Enforcement Hall’ today, they realized there was good drama to watch!

"Bruce elder brother seems very angry..."

"How could he not be? Emma Wenston, his only younger sister, was disrespected like that by Wyatt Barnes. It would be abnormal for him not to be angry!"

"Indeed. If not for Bruce elder brother being away from the Fire Worship Sect previously, he would likely have confronted Wyatt Barnes earlier... With elder brother Wyatt Barnes’ current strength, he might not be able to handle Bruce elder brother."

"Naturally! Bruce elder brother ranks second on the Fire Worship Sect’s True Inheritance List, his prowess reached the ’Saint Immortal Third Change’ years ago. How could the fourth-ranked Wyatt Barnes possibly compare?"

Looks like Wyatt Barnes is in for a bad time... His talent may be good, but his current strength is likely still far from surpassing Bruce elder brother.

...

Among the Holy Land disciples trailing Bruce and Emma Wenston, almost none favored Wyatt Barnes in their discussions.

Of course, there were some differing opinions.

"Hmph! If I recall correctly... in the past, whether facing Wade Yorke or Emma Wenston, didn’t you all think Wyatt Barnes was inferior? And how did that end?"

"Exactly! Weren’t you smacked in the face by Wyatt Barnes every time?"

"I admit, I also underestimated Wyatt Barnes before... But every time events unfolded later, my face burned hot as if being slapped hard! Wyatt Barnes is someone beyond rational prediction."

"No matter who you favor this time... I’m supporting Wyatt Barnes elder brother, I believe in him! Saint Immortal Third Change power? Still should be handled!"

...

These few differing opinions, though in support of Wyatt Barnes, were drowned out by other voices due to their minority, rendering them inconsequential.

Most believed that with Bruce confronting Wyatt Barnes, misfortune was inevitable!

Simultaneously, Bruce and Emma Wenston approached Wyatt Barnes, hovering close, facing off.

"Wyatt Barnes, do you remember the humiliation you gave me that day?"

With cold eyes fixated on Wyatt Barnes, Emma Wenston was the first to speak, sternly questioning.

"Humiliation? What humiliation?"

Confronting Emma Wenston’s aggressive questioning, Wyatt Barnes calmly retorted.

In his words, it seemed like he was discussing a matter of no significance.

Emma Wenston’s face changed again out of anger, and she shouted coldly, "Wyatt Barnes, are you a man who dares to act but not admit?"

"Admit what?"

Wyatt Barnes continued calmly, "Are you suggesting I have humiliated you?"

"Didn’t you?"

Emma Wenston’s gaze turned icy cold, her tone was filled with a chilling frost, making one feel as if trapped in an ice cave, "You won’t have forgotten the day when you publicly slapped me, right? Do you think that wasn’t a humiliation?"

Upon bringing up the past, Emma Wenston’s face turned even darker.

Eventually, it even twisted into a menacing and distorted expression!

From this, one could see how angry Emma Wenston was now...

"Ah, so you were talking about that incident. You almost made me forget."

Upon hearing this from Emma Wenston, Wyatt Barnes displayed a sudden moment of realization, then said lightly, "When I slapped you publicly, I had no intention of humiliating you..."

At this point, Wyatt Barnes paused and continued, "Wanting me to humiliate you, ’Emma Wenston,’ you’re not worthy! I slapped you just because I found you displeasing, that’s all."

As Wyatt Barnes finished these words, Emma Wenston’s face turned crimson with rage, unable to speak for a long time.

Wow!

A group of Holy Land disciples who came to watch the commotion were now astonished, with expressions of shock.

"Wyatt Barnes is too fierce! He actually said Emma Wenston isn’t worthy of being humiliated by him?"

"Does he not know the person standing beside Emma Wenston is ’Senior Brother Bruce’? Tsk tsk... look, Senior Brother Bruce’s face is darkened."

"Senior Brother Bruce definitely didn’t expect Wyatt Barnes to be so arrogant in front of him! However, this also suggests Wyatt Barnes might truly not have recognized Senior Brother Bruce!"

"Wyatt Barnes probably doesn’t know he’s ’hit a brick wall’ now!"

...

As the group of Holy Land disciples made noise, Bruce’s face increasingly darkened, as if it could drip water.

"Wyatt Barnes, right?"

Bruce’s eyes flashed with a cold killing intent, staring at Wyatt Barnes like a dormant venomous snake ready to strike at any moment!

However, facing Bruce’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes still ignored him, instead he turned to Emma Wenston and said calmly, "Emma Wenston, do you feel... now that you have help, you need not fear me anymore?"

"What if I do?"

Emma Wenston didn’t expect Wyatt Barnes to dare ignore her senior brother. For a moment, while feeling excited, she responded coldly to Wyatt Barnes.

The excitement stemmed from realizing that her senior brother Bruce’s anger had risen further.

All of this was because Wyatt Barnes was courting disaster!

In her view:

Wyatt Barnes, daring to ignore her senior brother, was simply asking for death!

"So?"

Getting Emma Wenston’s confirmation, Wyatt Barnes laughed once more.

However, Wyatt Barnes only laughed for a moment, then restrained his smile, his expression suddenly turned cold, and his figure darted out, moving swiftly towards Emma Wenston, taking her completely off guard.

"Then I will tell you, even with your senior brother by your side, if I, Wyatt Barnes, want to slap you, I can still slap you!"

While Wyatt Barnes dashed towards Emma Wenston like lightning, his voice rose timely, shocking those present.

"You’re courting death!!"

Bruce, stunned for a moment, upon regaining his senses, his face changed dramatically, he shouted fiercely and darted with his figure, his target was straight at Wyatt Barnes.

Clearly intending to stop Wyatt Barnes from striking Emma Wenston.

Slap!!

However, accompanied by a crisp, loud slap sound, Emma Wenston’s half-face swelled up directly, and Bruce ultimately failed to rescue her in time.

For a moment, the Holy Land disciples present were stunned, completely stunned!

They never dreamed:

In front of the second-ranked ’Bruce’ on the True Inheritor Ranking, Wyatt Barnes dared to be so bold, giving Emma Wenston a slap with lightning speed right in front of Bruce, swelling Emma Wenston’s half face!

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

...

Immediately, most Holy Land disciples present couldn’t help but gasp.

Many Holy Land disciples looked at Wyatt Barnes with a bit more sympathy.

"Die!!"

Accompanied by an angry shout, the attention of a group of Holy Land disciples quickly shifted, shifting to that lightning-like figure of ’Bruce’.

At this moment, Bruce was only an arm’s length away from Wyatt Barnes!
