Talented Martial Hero

Chapter 183 Bloody Battle

"Oh no, this is bad!" Darren exclaimed. Darren feared for Elsa's safety if she used her Omnipotent

Talent Skill. Elder Brenda had warned her of the damage it could do to her. She had advised her not to

use it rashly before she got stable at the Wonder Realm. Elsa had reached the Wonder Realm very

quickly with the help of the sword core and Brenda's valuable natural sources. Her body had not yet

adapted to the intensity that realm required.

"Retreat, Elsa!" Darren shouted.

But it was too late. Strong winds blew under a big, dark cloud, forming a giant whirlpool because of the

endless sword intent.

As a swordsman, Elsa's Omnipotent Talent Skill was terribly strong.

Boom!

The mighty sword intent descended like a huge wave that crashed into the level five demonic monster.

"Roar!"

Feeling Elsa's overwhelming power, the demonic monster thrashed until it managed to escape the

control of Hayes's Omnipotent Talent Skill.

"Hiss!" Darren gasped at the demonic monster's strength. Even the Shackle Rule released by Hayes's

Omnipotent Talent Skill was not able to trap it!

As the demonic monster freed itself, its force sent Hayes flying backward toward the wall of the cliff.

Blood spurted out of his mouth as his body smashed against the hard surface, motionless. The other

three disciples from the Lotus Holy Land with lower realms fared worse. Just the excess force of the

demonic monster was enough to drive them into a coma.

Seeing the emergent situation, Darren was mostly worried about Elsa's safety. He transformed himself

into a fiend directly and used his Spirit Power to trigger the Rule of the Earth he had comprehended not

too long ago. Now, Darren's body was strong enough to withstand an attack from a Wonder Realm

master at the primary stage.

At the same time, he activated his blade intent and sword intent and launched a full attack at the level

five demonic monster to complement Elsa's Omnipotent Talent Skill.

"Whoa, am I so powerful?" Darren thought aloud. Even he was surprised with his own strength. His

blade intent seemed to have improved so much! The combined power went far beyond his

expectations.

The whole valley shuddered violently and the surrounding mountains started to collapse. Even the

dense mist suspended above the valley was also dispersed because of the fluctuations of the

tremendous force. It looked as if the valley was about to fall into doom.

"Awooo!"

Tens and hundreds of sword radiant evolved from Elsa's Sky Shaking Sword Array, all of which lashed

on the monster, searing it with pain.

In a rage, the demonic monster lifted its claw and hit Elsa through the air. A terrible stream of power

shot at her. Immediately, her face turned ghastly pale and her body hung in the air as if suspended by a

thread.

At that moment, a black figure shot into the sword array at lightning speed. The endless blade and

sword intent aided by forceful demonic internal force frightened the demonic monster.

It howled.

Elsa took advantage of the distraction. As the demonic monster's attention was turned towards

Darren's force, she used her sword intent to rip the monster's hard fur apart. Fresh blood drenched its

whole body.

"Golden opportunity!" Seeing the demonic monster's injury, Darren rushed to it immediately.

"Fucking human beings, die!" the demonic monster shouted aloud.

It lifted up one claw to block Elsa's sword intent and another claw to attack Darren.

It had already used up most of its strength just to hold itself against Elsa's Omnipotent Talent Skill. She

already did so much damage to it. As for Darren's attack, his strange aura merely caught the demonic

monster off guard. Once the shock subsided, the demonic monster assumed that his force was too

weak to cause it any serious harm.

Whoosh!

In the next second, the level five demonic monster began to regret its conclusion.

'I should not have allowed that human to attack me without even blocking! He is actually strong enough

to kill me, ' it thought.

Frozen in its stance, it lowered its crimson eyes and found a striking hole the size of a human being

embedded in its chest.

Even Elsa was surprised at Darren's strength. He was no less inferior to a Wonder Realm master.

Momentarily stunned, Elsa managed to regain her composure. She knew that despite having its body

penetrated, the demonic monster would still be able to launch another violent attack. She activated her

sword intent again and delivered another full blow on the demonic monster with her Omnipotent Talent

Skill.

"You vile human beings!" the demonic monster let out a savage roar as blood-red radiance shone out

of its entire body.

Bang!

Heaven and earth trembled! The level five demonic monster's body exploded. Its tremendous force

violently dispersed her sword intent and sent her flying back.

"Elsa!" Darren yelled. His acceleration was enough to propel him thousands of meters away after

penetrating the demonic monster's body. Although Darren got involved in the aftermath of the explosion

of the demonic monster, he also had enough physical constitution to withstand the power from the

explosion.

After steadying himself, Darren shot himself at Elsa as swiftly as he could. He caught her just as she

was flying backward and managed to land safely on a deserted mountain.

"Ough, ough, ough!" Streams of blood spurted out of Elsa's mouth as she coughed. Her face was

deathly pale.

"I am fine, Darren. Go to check Bruce and the other disciples to see if they are still alive," she

suggested. Despite being heavily injured, she was still thinking clearly.

"Okay. Stay here and lie down for a moment. I will be back in a minute." Darren gently laid her on the

ground and flew back to the valley to check on Bruce and the others.

First, he assimilated the talent of the level five demonic monster before its energy completely

dispersed. This improved his talent to the seventh level of the Earth Degree.

Then, Darren relaxed and turned his attention to try to find out if his friends were still alive. With a palm

strike, he removed the debris from the fallen cliff. He soon found Bruce's giant body.

"Good, he's still breathing." Darren was relieved.

Then he removed another pile of debris from the collapsed cliff and rescued Hayes who was also

heavily wounded and lost in a coma.

It was fortunate that the two were hit and buried under the cliff's debris. Else, they would have exploded

along with the demonic monster. The other disciples from the lower realms were, however, not as

fortunate. Darren could no longer sense any trace of life. They were dead.

With one man in each of Darren's hands, he flew back to the barren mountain.

He later found a concealed cavern and settled all of them in. Elsa tended to her wounds herself while

Darren used his spiritual energy to cure Bruce and Hayes until they came around.

Three days and three nights elapsed silently.

With great restoring abilities, Bruce was first to recover. Darren then asked him to cure himself.

Apparently, Bruce could heal himself much faster if he circulated his spiritual energy himself.

Another two days later, Hayes also came around. Unlike Bruce, however, he was too weak to even

move.

For half a month, Darren went out every day to get superior spiritual herbs and distributed them to his

three wounded friends to help them heal.

"How are you feeling now, Elsa?" Darren asked.

"Much better, but my sword core seems to have been damaged because of the forceful dispatching of

my Omnipotent Talent Skill. My strength is limited now," she answered. Her lips were still very pale.

Seeing Elsa's appearance, Darren couldn't help but feel sorry. It was not easy to fix a broken sword

core. She must be in such great pain.

"Elsa, you have to go back to the Holy Land," Darren suggested. Darren no longer had enough

resources to help her with her damaged sword core. Maybe her master had some way to cure her. He

thought that it was best to send her back to the Lotus Holy Land as soon as possible. Without timely

treatment, she might catch some disease and get worse.

"No, I won't come back unless you come back too. Besides, we need to wait for a few more days to be

teleported back," Elsa crooned.

"No, there is no time to lose. You have to go back to see your master. I have a jade card left by Colin. I

can pour my spiritual energy into it to send you back. It could be used three times, just enough for you

three," Darren explained.

Colin gave the jade card to Darren before they came here in the case of an emergency. Using such an Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

item could badly affect the transmission array. Worse, it could even damage the transmission runes

themselves and destroy the array. Ordinary disciples could never possess such kind of jade card. Also,

the jade card would not work if its owner was under attack.

"No. You have to come back with us. Forget the Fire Cave," Elsa begged as she wrapped her arms

around Darren.

"Listen to me, Elsa. Your sword core was damaged and this is very serious. You have to go back and

tend to it immediately," Darren replied firmly.

"As for me, I have to go to the Fire Cave. I am sure 'it' was there," he continued.

When Darren broke through to the Mysterious Realm, Elsa also saw how "it" pull Darren through.

"Are you talking about that terrifyingly powerful fiend who wore the black armor?" Elsa asked. She

immediately recalled that black shadow she saw that day.

"Yes. That's what I'm talking about. I have to go to the Fire Cave to try to find it," he replied. Darren

wanted to find out why the mysterious powerful fiend helped him that day.

"Alright then, I am going. You take care! If you come back with even so much as a scar, I swear, I will

not forgive you!" Elsa said in a huff.

"Haha, I won't." Darren woke Bruce and Hayes who were both busy healing their wounds in meditation

and told them that he was going to send them back to the Holy Land.

Hayes had been so stressed after experiencing the strength of a level five demonic monster. Without

any second thoughts, he immediately agreed to Darren's suggestion.

Darren sent Elsa back first. Half an hour later, he poured his spiritual energy into the jade card and sent

Hayes back as well.

Before his departure, Hayes expressed his gratitude to Darren and left a map on which details about

the most powerful and perilous places were marked. Fortunately, Hayes's treasure bag and the map

were undamaged. Without the map, Darren would not have known which way to go.
