Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 256 Mingling (Part One)

"What?" Darren's heart was overwhelmed with great surprise. Now he knew that the domain skill was the most powerful means for a grand warrior.

Compared with Denise's domain skill, the power of the legendary martial skill that she had used earlier was a drop in the bucket. Darren still had a long way to go before he could be anywhere near her level.

"Merge!" Darren shouted. His voice resonated through the whole battlefield. He had come back to his sense once he stopped panicking. When he shouted, his remaining phantoms were merging with each other at once.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

All of Darren's abilities had increased over five hundred times. His strength had reached the unparalleled peak together with the second stage of his talent skill. His energy coursed through his veins. It was so powerful that it couldn't be contained inside his body. It spread throughout the whole area, destroying everything in its path.

The pitch-black space collapsed as the formidable power tore everything apart.

Countless cracks of explosion rose and fell in the void as their fight continued.

Despite this immense power, Darren was still not capable of destroying the real grand warrior. His strength breakout might have increased his strength immensely, but it was still below the real grand warrior.

At that moment, Darren was almost lost in despair. It was crystal clear to him that he could only repulse her, and that was all that he could do. Her domain was still not smashed which meant she would be invincible if she continued to hold out. No matter how hard he tried and how much power he used, it was like his attacks were mere tickles to her.

Darren shrieked. He poured everything in his power to his attacks.

Like the God of the demon, Darren continued to exert more power to his every attack at Denise. He was nowhere near giving up.

"Break! Break!"

He mumbled as if it would help him break her. Meanwhile, numerous attacks were made against Darren. He managed to block the attacks with all his effort, but he was unable to reach Denise or cause any harm to her. It was like she barely even felt anything from his attacks. There was not a single scratch on her.

"I have to say you are very powerful, incredibly powerful,” Denise praised. She looked at him curiously.

This time, even Denise was stunned. Emotionless as she was, she still couldn't help but praise Darren's strength because she felt the threat from a strong cultivator with same level as her. Her domain would have been torn apart if her opponent was a little more powerful. If that were the case, she would have been severely wounded by then.

"Time to finish this!" Denise bellowed. She was done playing games with him. Despite being a bit amazed at Darren's effort and persistence in attacking her, it was no longer fun watching his futile attempts in defeating her. She was far more powerful to be beaten by someone from his level. Denise's figure stabbed at Darren like an unbeatable sword, even the void was somewhat crushed. Bang, bang, bang!

"I refuse to give in to you, I refuse!” Darren shouted aloud as he used his last strength to fight with Denise. In just a few seconds’ time, Denise had already gained the upper hand. He was totally defenseless in front of Denise's attack. She was just too swift and powerful

"Challenger, do you want to court death?"

In fact, the space guardian was not allowed to kill the challenger in the Ancient Void Battlefield if the challenger could admit defeat.

However, the guardian could beat the challenger to death if the challenger refused to throw in the sponge. If Darren continued to be persistent in challenging her, he might just meet his end. However, It didn't look like Darren was about to fall on his feet and admit defeat anytime soon. Activating the demon core, Darren became extremely fierce and ruthless. He released all his remaining blade and sword intent together with the demonic internal force to launch attacks at Denise. The three cores inside his body were on the brink of fragmentation. It didn't look like he was going to hold out for much longer but he was full of determination.

"Die!"

Having lost his mind, Darren made desperate attacks at Denise. Denise wondered where he was getting all this energy to continue fighting.

"Huh?" Denise didn't expect Darren's counterattack. Darren's powerful strength was indefinitely close to hers. He could probably defeat her if they were not in Denise's domain. Odds were in her favor for now because they were in her domain, but Darren's continuous powerful attacks were beginning to crack the domain.

After Darren's bombardment in his prime, her domain was going to collapse at any time.

"It doesn't make any difference even if you are able to use the combined strength from blade and sword intent and demonic internal force. You are not a real grand warrior; your domain skill is not powerful enough to defeat me!" Denise said coldly. She was confident that no matter what he did, his powers would still fall short against hers.

Indeed Darren's domain skill was not powerful enough. Even with the use of the rune paper to improve his strength in his domain wasn't enough, or else he would have already defeated Denise earlier.

Denise flew over to make head-on bombardment with Darren. The whole space was on the brink of breaking up. At last, Darren was on the verge of giving up.

“What should I do? Am I going to die?" Darren thought in despair. He had no idea whether his persistence was meaningful, nor did he know whether it was worth of his life. He wondered what would happen if he just gave up.

But as the taunts of those big wheels and Denise's sad look came into his mind, Darren shook the thoughts away. There was no way he would give up. He just couldn't.

"Spiritual attack!" Darren resorted to the last means he had. He hoped that he would at least make a slight difference.

In the tenth space, the juvenile with a fishing rod had told him that the guardian of the eleventh space was born with a strong soul, and that his spiritual attack could hardly gain him a victory. Now, as Darren faced her, he realized that he was right. He was stuck in a fight that he did not have a chance of winning from the very start.
