Generally, disciples who join the ’Seven Stars Sword Clan’, when they switch to practicing sword techniques, will prioritize selecting the sword techniques that are similar to the martial techniques they had practiced in the past.
In this way, they can quickly master the sword techniques to the ’Complete Realm’ in a short time.
Warriors who have cultivated their skills to reach the ’Original Pill Realm’ have nearly all mastered their advanced profound-level martial techniques to the ’Complete Realm’, except for a few individuals whose comprehension is so poor it’s hard to look directly at them.
They deeply understand a certain type of martial technique.
As a top sect in the Royal Country of Green Forest, the sword skills within the Seven Stars Sword Clan are almost all ’Advanced Profound Level Sword Techniques’. People who join will switch to practicing sword techniques unless they originally practiced sword techniques.
Sword techniques, when performed with a spirit sword, hold an advantage over most martial techniques at a certain level.
Seeing that Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz are chatting casually, Dariel Burton frowned and continued to move forward.
"Wyatt Barnes, let’s follow them."
Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz called out to Wyatt Barnes, and the three followed closely behind.
Along the way, they met several fierce beasts after every interval...
Each of these beasts, the most powerful being a Fierce Beast of the Third Layer of the Original Pill Realm, was swiftly slain by Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz at their appearance.
"Not a bad haul, we’ve already got seven core pills from Third Layer Original Pill Realm Fierce Beasts and fifteen core pills from Second Layer Original Pill Realm Fierce Beasts."
Chaim Cruz, who was in charge of collecting the spoils of battle, grinned.
"Be careful, the beasts will be stronger as we move forward."
Leah Sykes looked ahead with slight apprehension, then turned to Wyatt Barnes. Her warning was mainly intended for him.
Wyatt Barnes smiled at Leah Sykes, indicating that he understood.
At that moment, a massive beast charged towards them, accompanied by a deep growl. In an eye’s blink, it was right in front of the group.
As the beast raced forward, each step sent tremors through the ground under Wyatt Barnes’ feet, making it feel as if the earth was shaking.
Above the head of the rampaging beast, in the void, the phantom images of sixty ancient giant elephants were forming...
The beast was now staring intently at the four of them, seemingly assessing something.
"A Fourth Layer of the Original Pill Realm Fierce Beast, the Elephant Rhinoceros!"
Looking at the beast in front of them, Chaim Cruz swallowed hard, uttering a low growl.
The Elephant Rhinoceros, a formidable beast known for its strength and speed, could knock any ordinary Fourth Layer of the Original Pill Realm Fierce Beast flying with a single charge. It was incredibly dominant.
"Dariel Burton, it’s your turn."
Seeing the Elephant Rhinoceros appear, Leah Sykes’ eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze falling on Dariel Burton.
An Elephant Rhinoceros, a Fourth Layer of the Original Pill Realm Fierce Beast, possesses the power of sixty ancient giant elephants...
Neither she nor Chaim Cruz was as fast as the Elephant Rhinoceros.
Even though she and Chaim Cruz were Third Layer warriors of the Original Pill Realm and possessed a Grade Eight Spiritual Weapon, the power they could unleash with the Spiritual Weapon was only equivalent to the force of forty-six ancient giant elephants...
Compared to the Elephant Rhinoceros, they were much weaker.
Even if she and Chaim Cruz joined forces, they would not be a match for the Elephant Rhinoceros.
As for Wyatt Barnes, in her eyes, he was just an ’Outer Sect Disciple’ who had just joined the Seven Stars Sword Clan and reached the ’First Layer of the Original Pill Realm’. He wouldn’t be able to help.
So, in her opinion, of the four of them, only Dariel Burton could deal with this ’Elephant Rhinoceros’.
Upon hearing Leah Sykes’ words, Dariel Burton’s eyebrows rose slightly, and a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then his gaze fell on Wyatt Barnes as he spoke in a mocking tone, "If I remember correctly, we seem to have one person here who hasn’t ever taken a shot yet, right? Since you’ve joined our group and want to share the spoils evenly... you surely can’t expect to benefit without lifting a finger, right?"
Dariel Burton’s words were piercingly harsh.
A cold smile appeared on Wyatt Barnes’s lips after hearing Dariel Burton’s remarks.
This Dariel Burton was accusing him of benefiting without contributing?
The reason why he hadn’t taken action during their journey was because Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz had always acted before him, not giving him a chance to do so...
If they were really in danger, he would by no means stand by and do nothing!
However, in the eyes of this Dariel Burton, he was an ’First Layer of the Original Pill Realm’ practitioner...
Under such circumstances, faced with the Fourth Layer of the Original Pill Realm Fierce Beast ’Elephant Rhinoceros’, Dariel Burton thrust him forward. His malicious intentions were clear as day!
Dariel Burton was hoping he would sacrifice himself!
Seeing that Wyatt Barnes made no move, Dariel Burton laughed, "Just a pretty boy, what skills do you have besides relying on women?"
As he spoke, Dariel Burton glanced at Leah Sykes intentionally or unintentionally.
Leah Sykes’s face blackened with anger. "Dariel Burton, how could you! Wyatt is only a First Layer of the Original Pill Realm warrior, while this ’Elephant Rhinoceros’ is a Fourth Layer of the Original Pill Realm Fierce Beast. Of the four of us, only you can deal with it... You pushing Wyatt to deal with this, isn’t it sending him to his death?"
Dariel Burton glanced at Wyatt Barnes coldly, sneered and said, "A pretty boy who wants to share the benefits without lifting a finger, is that possible? If he dies, wouldn’t it be better for the three of us to divide the spoils?"
The words stunned Leah, she couldn’t find words to rebut, her body shaking slightly with rage.
"Dariel Burton, you’re just too much!"
Chaim Cruz couldn’t take it anymore and frowned, "Now that Wyatt Barnes has joined us, he’s our companion. How could you treat him like that?"
Dariel Burton sneered, "If you and Leah Sykes want to protect him, then you two should do it yourself. I will not be willing to share the spoils with a man who just reaps without sowing."
As Dariel spoke, he stepped back a few paces.
Then, under the livid faces of Chaim Cruz and Leah Sykes, he added, "By the way, if you expel him from our little group, or if he willingly leaves...then I’ll still lend you a hand."
Dariel’s words were full of satisfaction.
It’s as if he believed that without his help, Wyatt Barnes and the others wouldn’t be able to handle the ’Elephant Rhino’.
"Dariel Burton, you..."
Chaim Cruz and Leah Sykes’ faces changed drastically due to Dariel’s rudeness. Their eyes turned red. They realized that the Elephant Rhino was gathering its strength and could attack them at any moment.
If Dariel didn’t take action, the three of them would be left with no other choice than death!
But, forcing them to expel Wyatt Barnes from their group and submit to Dariel’s tyranny was something they truly didn’t want to do from the bottom of their hearts.
"Wyatt Barnes, you stay behind. Chaim and I will deal with this ’Elephant Rhino’... if anything goes wrong, run away immediately!"
Leah Sykes looked at Wyatt Barnes, her face full of seriousness.
"Yes, Wyatt Barnes, you’re only at the Original Pill Realm First Level, far from being a match for this ’Elephant Rhino’ which is at the Original Pill Realm Fourth Layer. So just stand behind us and watch us fight...if things go south, listen to Leah and run away immediately!"
Chaim Cruz also said to Wyatt, his robust face equally grave.
Hearing Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz’s words, Wyatt Barnes looked on with a complicated gaze, a warm feeling welling up inside him.
Dariel, standing at the back, sneered as he saw this, "What a touching scene... Leah Sykes, Chaim Cruz, let me be clear. If this Wyatt Barnes runs away on his own instead of being expelled from our group by you...even if you guys get killed by the ’Elephant Rhino’, I won’t lift a finger to help!"
Dariel’s words made Wyatt Barnes’ face darken.
This Dariel...he was really pushing him!
Not only that, but he was also treating the lives of Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz like a joke.
Wyatt Barnes was filled with anger...
Chaim Cruz looked at Dariel, a trace of indifference at the corner of his mouth, his gaze becoming colder than ever, "Even if I die, I will not expel Wyatt Barnes! He is my companion."
Leah Sykes clenched her rosy cheeks, full of spiritual energy, her voice resolute.
"Alright, alright...then I look forward to seeing how you will deal with this ’Elephant Rhino’!"
Facing the stance of Chaim Cruz and Leah Sykes, Dariel knew that his plan to force Wyatt Barnes out had failed. He couldn’t help but laugh from irritation.
Then, he turned his gaze to Wyatt Barnes, a cold flash in his eyes.
Wyatt Barnes also sensed Dariel’s hostility towards him.
He understood that Dariel was a petty man who hadn’t let go of the fact that a ’first level Original Pill Realm’ martial artist had entered their group.
Perhaps, in Dariel’s eyes, he could only hold them back.
But he hadn’t anticipated that because of this, Dariel would force Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz to go up against the ’Elephant Rhino’...
Dariel’s ruthless actions made him feel ’disgusted’ to his core!
"Leah Sykes, Chaim Cruz, thank you for your kindness..."
Wyatt Barnes looked at Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz, smiled slightly.
"Wyatt Barnes, what are you talking about? You’re our companion, no matter what, we won’t let you leave our group."
"Yes, Wyatt Barnes, we are companions, we advance and retreat together, share our misfortunes together!"
Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz thought Wyatt Barnes was planning on leaving on his own, and immediately their faces changed, hurriedly speaking out.
"Hmph! You certainly know your place."
Dariel naturally assumed that Wyatt Barnes planned to leave on his own. Instantly, a victorious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
However, the next moment, Wyatt Barnes’ actions completely froze that smile on his face.
"Leah Sykes, Chaim Cruz, what are you talking about? I’m not leaving... I just wanted to say, leave this ’Elephant Rhino’ to me."
Wyatt Barnes knew that Leah Sykes and Chaim Cruz had misunderstood, so he smiled and explained hastily.
He then took a step forward towards the fourth layer Original Pill Realm Fierce Beast, the ’Elephant Rhino’...
It was as if he would use this ’Elephant Rhino’ to test his ’Trembling Power’ with the Flood Python Transformation.
"I’ll suppress my power to the third layer of the Original Pill Realm, unleash the ’strength of forty ancient giant elephants’, and use a Grade Seven spirit sword...no, better use Grade Eight spirit sword. In this way, my attack power will be equivalent to the strength of forty-eight ancient giant elephants."
As Wyatt Barnes moved forward, a thought crossed his mind, "This ’Elephant Rhino’ is a fourth layer Original Pill Realm Fierce Beast, possessing the strength of sixty ancient giant elephants...I will see if I can defeat it with the strength of forty-eight giant elephants, with the help of the ’Trembling Power’!"
Thinking about this, Wyatt Barnes was slightly excited.
"No! You can’t deal with a fourth layer Original Pill Realm Fierce Beast. Wyatt Barnes, get back here!"
Leah Sykes’ face changed upon seeing Wyatt Barnes’ movement.
