In just a moment, the three Void Realm level five martial artists who were trapped within the illusory space created by Wyatt Barnes’ soul technique "Thousand Illusions," had all severely injured each other in their mutual onslaught.
The three barely managed to stand, facing each other in a triangle, gasping for breath.
At that moment, a huge noise drew the attention of Wyatt and Echo Reid.
As for the three Void Realm Level Five martial artists, it was as if they couldn’t hear anything at all.
A section of the distant cavern wall suddenly collapsed, revealing a stone door.
As the stone door ascended, a charming figure stepped out and appeared before his eyes.
Seeing the yellow-clad maiden who slowly walked out, Wyatt’s eyes lit up.
The maiden was none other than ’Karina Hanson’.
"Elder Brother Wyatt."
The maiden bore a troubled expression at first, but upon seeing Wyatt, a hint of a smile is squeezed out.
Seeing that Julia was slightly out of sorts, Wyatt asked, somewhat worried.
"Elder Brother Wyatt, I’m so useless... there are only six tests in the third level of the Sword Emperor’s treasure vault, and I actually failed two of them."
Julia made a mournful face, expressing her depression.
"Which two tests did you fail?"
Wyatt asked curiously.
"It’s the first test of selecting a ’Grade One Spirit Sword,’ I failed... then it’s the last one, the challenge of the ’Mirror Puppet.’ I only managed a draw with it, ending in failure."
As Karina Hanson spoke, she wore a look of unwilling acceptance. "That thing, it knows all my moves. I really had no way to beat it."
When Karina Hanson was speaking casually here.
To Echo Reid, these words were like a thunderbolt that renderd him completely stunned. "A... A Grade One Spirit Sword?"
For Echo Reid, getting a Grade Five Spirit weapon would already be somewhat difficult.
A Grade One Spirit Sword almost scared his heart out.
"So did you end up with a ’Grade Two Spirit Sword’ or a ’Grade Three Spirit sword’?"
Wyatt asked curiously.
"A Grade Two Spirit Sword."
Karina replied, dejected.
A Grade Two Spirit Sword?
Once again, Echo Reid was left dumbfounded.
She received a Grade Two Spirit Sword, and this girl was still not content?
It really was a case of ’everybody envies others’ happiness’.
If it were him, even getting a Grade Three Spirit Sword would make him so happy that he couldn’t sleep for days.
"A Grade Two Spirit Sword is also quite good."
"It’s not that I disdain its grade."
Karina Hanson shook her head, "I just wanted to pass that test... Whether I got a Grade Two Spirit Sword or a Grade Three Spirit Sword, it would have been a failure either way! To me, there’s no difference between the two."
On hearing Julia’s words, Wyatt was shaken.
It seems that Julia really does have a deep and mysterious background. Even a ’Grade Two Spirit Sword’ was not in her eyes.
"Elder Brother Wyatt, what are they doing?"
Soon, Karina Hanson recovered, becoming as lively as before.
When she saw the three people battling fiercely not far away, she couldn’t help but startle.
Wyatt smiled faintly, "They wanted to kill me, so I just gave them a little taste of my own medicine..."
"Elder Brother Wyatt, you... can you use ’soul techniques’?"
After glancing at the three fighting each other, their gazes hollow, Void Realm Level Five martial artists, Karina Hanson exclaimed in amazement.
Wyatt was not surprised that Karina Hanson could tell that the trickery was his doing.
After all, Karina is from the ’outside powers’, recognizing the ’soul technique’ was not strange.
Upon hearing this, Karina could not help but look at Wyatt in admiration. "Elder Brother Wyatt, you’re really amazing... I’ve never heard of a human martial artist being able to use soul techniques before becoming a ’Martial Emperor’."
"I was just lucky enough to have some extraordinary encounters."
Meanwhile, Echo Reid was left utterly clueless on the side.
The former, he had never seen nor heard of it.
The latter, he had only heard of it, knowing that it was an existence standing at the pinnacle of Cloud Skies Continent.
"Elder Brother Wyatt seems to understand something called ’Soul Technique’... And that ’Soul Technique’, human martial artists must become ’Martial Emperors’ before they can use it?"
This was the logic Echo Reid deduced after sorting things out.
"This Brother Wyatt really is... surprising."
Looking at Wyatt laughing and talking with the girl, Echo Reid twitched at the corner of his mouth, he was left speechless by the shock Wyatt had brought him.
"Elder Brother Wyatt, why do they want to kill you?"
"They saw me come out from the third level of the Sword Emperor’s treasure vault and became greedy for the things I obtained there. They wanted to kill me and seize the treasure... so this is how it ended up."
As Wyatt finished speaking, he shrugged, a look of indifference on his face.
"Elder Brother Wyatt, you’re too kind... they wanted to kill you, yet you’ve let them live this long."
Karina Hanson shook her head slightly.
Following that, under the astonished gazes of Wyatt and Echo Reid, Karina Hanson suddenly raised her hand.
With a slow movement of Karina Hanson’s hand.
An extremely cold blast of wind swept out, enveloping the three fifth-grade Void Realm martial artists engrossed in their fight, turning them into ice sculptures.
The three ice sculptures were unique in shape, vivid and lifelike.
Looking at the three ice sculptures, Karina Hanson frowned slightly, and shook her hand gently.
Immediately, three thin needles made of condensed ice formed and hurtled out.
The ice needles hit the ice sculptures, immediately shattering and collapsing them.
The three fifth-grade Void Realm martial artists inside, were dead beyond any doubt!
After completing all this, Karina Hanson looked like an innocent bystander, her gaze falling on the three bodies lying in a pool of blood, "These three are dead as well? I recognize them, Wyatt you kindly helped them before, letting them take shelter on Big Head."
Wyatt Barnes glanced at the three corpses and said, "These three, along with the other three you just killed, had teamed up to kill me and take the treasures I obtained from the Sword Emperor’s vault."
Karina Hanson’s face changed as she angrily glared at the three corpses, "These three ingrates dared to repay kindness with evil? They deserved to die!"
Enraged, Karina Hanson made her move again, and an extremely cold aura swept out, enveloping the three bodies.
In an instant, the three bodies turned into three reclining ice sculptures.
With a slap of her palm, Karina Hanson sent three palm prints hurtling out, blasting the ice sculptures into pieces.
But it didn’t end there.
Karina Hanson’s sleeve swept out, the extremely cold gust of wind, seemingly forming into a ’Alejandro Wind’ in the air, as if forming a dense net, covering the crushed ice sculptures.
In an instant, the crushed ice turned into a mist spreading into the air.
A gasp of shock sounded.
It was Echo Reid looking at the girl’s action, feeling a chill, and couldn’t help gasping.
Seeing Karina Hanson’s actions, Wyatt Barnes shook his head and smiled, feeling warmth in his heart.
It’s said they make men ’Infuriated for Beloved’!
But Karina Hanson was now ’Infuriated for Elder Brother’.
"You, aren’t you coveting what Elder brother Wyatt Barnes holds?"
Shortly, Karina Hanson’s gaze fell on Echo Reid, her eyes shimmering with a hint of coldness.
As if, if Echo Reid’s answer wasn’t satisfactory, she would take action again, freeze him into an ice sculpture, and destroy him.
Echo Reid’s body shivered involuntarily.
He had fully witnessed this girl’s temper up close and was completely terrified.
Now, even if someone killed him, he wouldn’t dare to offend her.
When others kill, at the very least they leave a corpse or some remnants behind.
With just a wave of her hand, she could obliterate someone, leaving no trace in this world.
"Karina, don’t scare Echo Reid... When those six were trying to deal with me, he stood up to help me, ready to fight them till the end."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head.
Hearing this, the coldness in Karina Hanson’s eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by the warmth of spring, "I see, I misunderstood you...I didn’t think you would help Wyatt Elder Brother."
"Since that’s the case, I will give you a ’thank you gift’."
Immediately after Karina Hanson finished speaking, a three-feet-long spirit sword appeared in her raised hand, whistling as it firmly landed in front of Echo Reid, planted in the ground.
Echo Reid was startled, but when he came back to his senses, he looked confusedly at Karina Hanson.
"This is a ’Grade Two spirit sword’ I got on the third level of the cave, and I guess Wyatt Elder Brother doesn’t need it now... You take it."
When Karina Hanson spoke, she turned her head towards Wyatt Barnes, her gaze full of deep meaning.
This made Wyatt Barnes’s heart throb uncontrollably.
This girl, did she figure out something?
"A Grade Two spirit sword?!"
Listening to Karina Hanson’s words, Echo Reid’s body trembled, then he looked at the spirit sword with a horrified expression, feeling an unparalleled excitement in his heart.
After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at Karina Hanson, "You....are you really giving it to me?"
"What, you don’t want it?"
Karina Hanson’s eyebrows rose slightly, and she said indifferently, "If you don’t want it, I’ll take it back now."
"No... No... I want! I want!"
Hearing Karina Hanson’s words, Echo Reid immediately panicked, grabbed the Grade Two Spirit Sword, and put it directly into his Storage Ring, as if he feared she would regret her decision.
After securing the Grade Two Spirit Sword, Echo Reid finally relaxed, turned to Karina Hanson and thanked her hurriedly, "Thank you, Miss Julie, thank you, Miss Julie."
"Why haven’t Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold come out yet?"
Karina Hanson looked around and frowned, there was a hint of worry on her face.
Wyatt Barnes didn’t say a word, but his face clearly showed his concern.
A loud noise shook Wyatt Barnes, Karina Hanson, and Echo Reid awake from their thoughts.
Soon, they saw a thick stone door appearing in the distant cave, moving slowly upwards...
The familiar noise eased Wyatt Barnes’s heart.
A chubby golden mouse quickly appeared before Wyatt Barnes’s sight.
