Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 1444 Helping Merle

Merle growled angrily. Suddenly, he felt an intense urge to strangle the Rule Soul Avatar.

'You promised me that you would let me grow stronger, but you are going to run away the moment you have rescued your woman," he cursed the Rule Soul Avatar silently. "How dare you treat me this way!"

"You can't go until you help me reach your level," Merle said coldly.

"After this battle, the senior leaders of the fiend race will definitely find out about me, rendering me a thorn in the flesh of the super masters of the fiend race. If I stay here, I have no chance of survival, and if you follow me, you will also definitely die. There's no other way. I must leave.”

The Rule Soul Avatar paused for a moment before he continued, "If you stay here and press on alone, once you obtain an emperor's mark, you will be no different from the real fiends. As long as you do everything carefully, you will definitely become a top master of the fiend race. If one day a war broke out between the human race and the fiend race, you would be of great use. That's all I have to say. Good luck.”

"I don't give a damn about the fiend race or the human race!" Merle roared angrily. "I want to become stronger. Helping me is what our real body ordered you to do, and you promised you'd do it"

The Rule Soul Avatar fell silent, at a loss for words.

Merle represented the dark side of Darren. He didn't use his brain, and consequently acted recklessly and impulsively.

But he also had his own strength. He was ruthless and loose from all ties. If he stayed in the fiend race for development, he would definitely be of great use in the future.

Therefore, a rational person like the Rule Soul Avatar decided to not make a fuss with Merle, at least for now. He always looked at the big picture when making decisions.

"Stay with her. If she gets hurt, you're dead,”

the Rule Soul Avatar said after thinking for a while. Without another word, he disappeared abruptly. Outside, the battle between Leland and Orlando was still going on. The sky and the earth were cracking, as if it were the end of the world.

A day later, the Rule Soul Avatar finally came back.

With him he carried a fiend body in each hand. One of the two fiends had the strength comparable to that of a human warrior at the upper-level of the Celestial God Realm, while the other one was able to compete with a human warrior at the Superior God Realm.

The Rule Soul Avatar threw the two dying fiends at Merle's feet.

"Merge with them. Hurry up.”

"Ha-ha, I knew you wouldn't be so stupid. Why didn't you do this earlier?” Merle said with a smile. It seemed he was finally satisfied.

Excitedly, he activated the Merging Force to assimilate the weaker fiend. Merle couldn't wait to kill him.

The process was very painful, but the feeling of his strength rapidly increasing was enough to make Merle ignore all the pain.

"Gah!"

Merle raised his head and roared into the sky after the merging. His eyes flashed excitedly.

"I'll merge you into me in three months!" Merle's eager eyes fell on the other fiend that was comparable to a human warrior at the Superior God Realm.

"No, do it immediately,”

the Rule Soul Avatar ordered firmly.

"What?"

Merle turned around to look at the Rule Soul Avatar coldly.

"You know I can't use the Merging Force in succession,” Merle hissed.

The Rule Soul Avatar avoided Merle's gaze, since it made him feel disgusting. "Merge with him forcefully, or you will lose the qualification to inherit an emperor's mark," he said coldly.

Merle looked at the Rule Soul Avatar in confusion. After a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his head. It seemed to have finally dawned on him.

"You want me to merge with that fiend prince, don't you?"

"Yes."

"Ha-ha, okay! Why did you have to act so mysteriously? You could've told me sooner. This time, I will try my best to merge with him!"

Merle's cultivation level was not high enough yet. Only by merging with the fiend in front of him could he qualify to assimilate Prince Orlando of the fiend race, who was as powerful as a human warrior at the middle-level of the Superior God Realm.

Merle shook with excitement at the mere thought of this. It was too easy for him to improve his strength. Hardly even lifting a finger, he was about to reach the middle-level of the Superior God Realm. Who else in the world could improve their strength faster than him?

He even began to look down upon his real body and the Rule Soul Avatar. They had cultivated for so many years, yet he could become comparable to them in a matter of days. He only needed to merge with a fiend!

Merle thought about this happily for a while before he finally activated the Merging Force by force. Crack!

Terrifying thunder and lightning fell from the sky and bombarded Merle.

This was the consequence of him forcefully activating the Merging Force.

The instant the thunder and lightning descended, the Rule Soul Avatar leapt backwards. At the same time, he activated tens of thousands of laws to form a protective wall.

Even then, his protective wall was not enough to resist the terrifying thunder and lightning. The Rule Soul Avatar had predicted this.

Boom! Boom!

The space began to collapse. In the darkness of the void, billions of laws were created and destroyed.

It was the Rule Soul Avatar who had opened the Source of Laws, and the terrifying thunder and lightning fell into it.

In the Source of Laws, billions of laws sensed the arrival of unexpected visitors and instinctively attacked and intercepted the thunder and lightning.

However, the power of the thunder and lightning was beyond imagination. They smashed countless other laws along the way.

With the Rule Soul Avatar's current strength, he was still unable to control the Source of Laws for too long. Many of the laws within the Source of Laws had been destroyed, which in turn harmed him and injured his soul.

In fact, being harmed was not the most terrifying part. The most terrible thing was that the Rule Soul Avatar was not the only one who entered and hosted the Source of Laws. There were also other creatures that had been immersed in comprehension and cultivation in the Source of Laws for billions of years.

Once the thunder and lightning were fierce enough to destroy the Source of Laws, there would definitely be other super powerful creatures noticing the Rule Soul Avatar, a human who had just hosted the place. By then, he would be doomed.

"Hurry up!”

the Rule Soul Avatar roared at Merle.

Merle's face was deathly pale, and his soul was in extreme pain. He forcefully embedded himself into the body of the fiend that he was assimilating, desperately trying to activate the Merging Force. Merle howled in pain.

His face contorted under the stress. Only when a Resurrection Force descended did he complete the merging.

He immediately fell to the ground, and his new body twitched uncontrollably.

On the other end, blood dripped from the silvery eyes of the Rule Soul Avatar. His soul was on the verge of collapse.

"Backflow."

Unable to handle the severe pain any longer, the Rule Soul Avatar activated the Time Backflow Law and let it act on himself. Only in this way could his soul, which was on the verge of collapse, recover slightly.

The Rule Soul Avatar quickly retreated from the Source of Laws. Simultaneously, he sensed that there were several extremely terrifying gazes flashing across the unknown law area.

However, the torn space was closed again. The Rule Soul Avatar was able to retreat successfully, as if nothing had happened.

He immediately sat down cross-legged and activated the Resurrection Force to heal his and Merle's wounds.

It was not until three days later that the two of them finally recovered enough to move about.

After calculating the time, the Rule Soul Avatar figured that the battle between Leland and Orlando was about to come to an end. With that, he disappeared in a flash to check on the battle outside. The whole mining area was in ruins. In the midst of the sea of flames, strings of Leland's flesh and blood were scattered about. Struggling, Leland's blackened skeleton still fought on bravely.

On the other hand, Orlando was also seriously injured. However, while his body was covered with wounds, he was obviously in a much better state than Leland.

The Rule Soul Avatar narrowed his eyes at this scene. It was time for him to make a move.

He activated his silvery eyes. Terrifying laws began to condense in the void.

"Poor human, do you really think you're capable of interfering with this battle? Ridiculous!"

Despite his serious injuries, Orlando was not afraid of the Rule Soul Avatar. He figured there would be a way to deal with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life fighting with Leland.
