Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 287 Solve The Crisis (Part One)

Boom!

With a plangent clang-bang, the sky stretched, and a divergent crack appeared amidst the firmament. A giant hand clenching the fainted and limping Water Kylin vanished from there.

In the thirteenth space of the Ancient Void Battlefield, Finley reckoned with a nonchalant expression. "Darren, why the hell did you make such a freak show here? I am terrified almost to death!"

"Well, me too. It's so frightening,” the Water Kylin added, agreeing to what Finley had said. The Water Kylin learned his lesson well. He was severely injured in the previous battle. Now, after being frightened to death, the beast's head lolled down with his tongue almost touching the ground. To Darren and Finley, he resembled a dead dog.

"Get away from here!" Both warriors kicked the Water Kylin, and he flew away from their sight as a whole kit and caboodle of the combined kicks.

"Finley, how come even you can't defeat that boy?" Darren asked with his eyebrows knitted while giving Finley a quizzical look.

"No, I cannot defeat him! Now that your force of control is not in perfect shape, it is a disaster to let him come to the Ancient Void Battlefield. I think if the Shadow Emperor controlled the Ancient Void Battlefield, maybe then he could be strong enough to kill the boy," Finley answered.

"Is he that strong? He is just a boy, after all. What stage does he reach precisely?" Darren was determined to know.

"I cannot tell. The boy's strength is too weird and overpowering. Such kind of strong skills is what I have sensed from the Shadow Emperor. I guess he may be as strong as a seven-star grand warrior!" Darren was not expecting that answer from Finley. When the words synced into him, however, his face turned pale. That meant that he took such a powerful malefic guy because he was kind enough at that moment. He realized that the Ancient Void Battlefield could not trap the boy this time. Still and all, if Darren did not try to save the boy's life and took him here, he might have probably been left lifeless in that dark domain.

As he was freeing his mind from all the worries, Darren's face turned serious. He raised his hand toward the sky to release some spell. On the flip side, the sky lit up, and the scene on the first space was shown in the ether.

With their eyes fixed upward, Darren and Finley saw that the boy, who was looking around with his black eyes, did not ruin anything in the first space. He seemed to be enjoying the freedom and tranquility the space offered.

With that, Darren told Finley what had happened previously between him and the boy. Finishing his story in detail, he asked Finley if he knew where the boy came from.

"He was eaten up and was recovered the next day?" Hearing what Darren told him, Finley was shocked. He couldn't believe the terrible fate the boy had endured.

"Yes, that's right. It seemed that the boy had been like that not for a short time, but countless years already,” Darren answered. The reason why Darren had such a conclusion was that he had heard the boy say, "You have been dead for over a million years, and you still have to torture me now." That statement from the boy cemented his belief about him.

"Before I got out of the domain, I saw a shadow wearing a black armor, which had a more powerful aura. It was he who suppressed and tortured the boy," through furrowed brows, Darren said while recalling the last scene he saw in the domain.

"So, you wouldn't have been able to escape from the domain without him, right?" Finley asked in a big surprise as he patched up Darren's story.

"Yes. I did that by accident and sheer luck. Another point is that the domain has been there since time immemorial, and its force has gradually turned much weaker. That shadow with the black armor should also be weakened, considering the length of time it was there. Otherwise, the boy might have died under the shadow's suppression!" making sense out of the story, Darren surmised and said.

"I agree with you. The domain was merely controlled by someone's spiritual sense, and it can be survived for such a long time. It is really amazing! I even suspect that the domain is something “the holy warrior’ left. That boy is not an easy target, and it would be hard for us to control him."

By the tone of his voice, Darren could say that Finley was very serious this time. That was the first time that Darren had ever seen him so troubled.

Masking his doubts, Darren nodded his head silently while staring at the sky where the scene of the first space still could be seen. He couldn't get his mind off that mysterious boy.

"Finley, I have to go out. Please stay here and pay attention to that boy. Once he does something unusual, report to me, and I will be back as soon as possible.” The reason for his urgent leave was that Darren's intentions of coming to the Raksa Sea this time was to find some Primitive Stones. He could not stay in the Ancient Void Battlefield doing nothing. Thus, he opted to make use of his time and search for the valuable stones.

"Shit! What would I do if he rushed and attacked me?" Finley asked out of extreme fright. Without Darren around, he felt so vulnerable. In his mind, Finley thought that with Darren's absence, he could get killed anytime. If that happened, he would not be able to respawn. He wasn't merely a wisp of spiritual intent anymore after he was combined with the Shadow Emperor's soul.

"Don’t worry. I got your back, and I will be here to help you." While Darren gave Finley that assurance, a voice was heard in a distant. The voice had an eerie sound that resembled that of a naughty child, yet it was so powerful.
