Chapter 348 The Battle Of The Grand Warriors Had Commenced

"How dare you!" Chad and his men shouted all together while he, unleashing his full energy with the rest of them, set to prepare the Seven Stars Slaughtering Array. They were confident that with their array they could at least save Darren if they were unable to defeat the two-star grand warrior. "Then I shall have all of you killed! Take them down!" Gerald, oozing with cold murderous intent, commanded the three one-star grand warriors.

"Shit! He's got help! If they defeat even just one of us, our array will fall. This will be a tough battle!" "Before you dare make a move against Darren, you will have to go through me!" At that moment, a more intense killing aura swept through the entire square. Although its energy was still no match against that of Gerald's, it was not too far behind.

The Grand Blood Refiner was only at the top level of a one-star grand warrior, but he still stood a chance against Gerald given his combat experience and his technique—as was expected from someone who was once a three-star grand warrior.

"There's another one?" The three grand warriors standing next to Gerald suddenly tensed up as they sensed the new comers surprisingly strong killing aura.

All twelve grand warriors then unleashed their powerful energy forces, causing the place to become an unbearable hell for any ordinary person

Darren would have been crushed if it weren't for the protective energy field created by the grand warriors. After all, it was the extremely powerful grand warriors who had unleashed the energy forces.

The energy forces affected such a large area that strong warriors from thousands of miles away were still able to sense it. The news had gotten out that the battle among grand warriors was about to take place, making the Holy Lords rush over from the different Holy Lands.

The several warriors at the supreme stage of the Wonder Realm who were already at the location of the fight were gathered hundreds miles above the battlefield to avoid being caught in the violent confrontation

Holy Lord Landon was also here, watching from afar.

"H-holy Lord, that y-young man..." stuttered out the elder beside Holy Lord Landon, at a loss for words at the tremendous power he felt.

"Damn it! I can't believe that the young man has so many grand warriors on his side! They're an almost equal match against Bryan's supporters!" exclaimed Holy Lord Landon, fists clenching in anger. Green lightning flashed around him as his fury grew.

"Holy Lord, what should we do? This kid has made significant progress with his cultivation. I'm starting to wonder if that visitor from the outer space was actually here for him instead of..." The elder trailed off, leaving his speculation hanging in the air.

"I will kill him when the timing is right. If any of the grand warriors behind him dare to stop me, I will kill them too.” Holy Lord Landon burst out with a sudden surge of power, which he immediately brought back under control.

On the Lotus Holy Land square, the presence of the Grand Blood Refiner added even more fuel to the tension.

Gerald, despite his fury, found himself in an awkward position. It was not because that he was intimidated by the grand warriors, but was instead mainly because of the myth of the Lord of Void, added to the fact that Gerald himself was not from the southern land. If he actually killed these grand warriors, he would be challenging the ruling class of the southern land. The worse thing was that the combined force of his opponents slightly outmatched that of his side.

However, he had already made the public declaration that he was going to kill Darren. If he backed out now, he would definitely lose his dignity.

After a few moments of contemplation, Gerald made up his mind and decided to kill the grand warriors first.

He decided that he just had to flee towards the west as soon as he made the kill as it was highly unlikely that the southern land forces could chase him that far away.

Baring his teeth, he shouted, "All of you, die!"

Dense clouds instantly began to gather at the sky above him and the golden chain in his hand started moving on its own.

Before Gerald could make a move, a giant explosion came from the square.

A figure then appeared in the crater created by the arrival immediately afterwards.

"There are more grand warriors coming?" Gerald's eyes widened, his fury igniting once again as he sensed the strong energy.

"So, are you that two-star grand warrior?"

the man clad in white asked, his tone as cold as ice. It was none other than Scott.

The Holy Lords who were observing from afar drew in sharp breaths in awe as they gained a clear picture of the figure.

"That is Scott! He is at the Grand Realm now! What a strong aura!"

The Holy Lords from the different Holy Lands were harboring mixed feelings about Scott's sudden presence.

What had initially been awe and admiration suddenly turned into nauseating envy. They were still very far from reaching the Grand Realm while Scott already had, with a power that was neck and neck with that of a two-star grand warriors.

The one thing that surprised them the most was that Scott had always detached himself from these mundane affairs and only had few friends as far as they knew. However, here he was, stepping up to protect Darren—it was extremely shocking for them

"It looks like Darren is much more well-connected than us so-called Holy Lords." Several Holy Lords grew uncomfortable and humiliated at the thought.

The warriors at the supreme stage of the Wonder Realm who were gathered above them were also shocked and quite impressed by the support that Darren had.

After this battle, regardless if Darren won or lost, he would definitely become famous across the whole land. No one would dare lay their hands on him.

Back at the square, Scott stood in front of Gerald. Scott's dragon blood emitted an aura that was cold and commanding, sending chills running down Gerald's spine.

"Are you from a Dragon Blood Clan?" Although it was embarrassing for Gerald, he still had to ask. "Cut the chitchat. Either do what my brother Darren said or we fight. Whoever loses dies!" Scott's cold tone sounded arrogant to the grand warriors.

"Darren, I respect your brother! He's great!" The Grand Blood Refiner burst out in laughter. He found Scott's aloofness quite amusing.

"Grand Blood Refiner, I'm afraid I still need you and the distinguished grand warriors to lend a hand to Scott. Otherwise, our chances of winning remain slim." Darren casually patted the Grand Blood Refiner on the shoulder.

"Of course!" The Grand Blood Refiner did not mind it at all.

Chad and his men came down after hearing Darren calling the two powerful grand warriors his brothers.

"Hey, spare me with terms like distinguished—that's too much! You're also our friends and your power is way more powerful than any single one of ours. You can call us brothers too, if you'd like," Chad told Darren, with the other grand warriors nodding in approval.

Darren's strength was already close to that of a grand warrior. Aside from that, he was also at the same status as Scott and the Grand Blood Refiner, so it would indeed be too much for Chad if Darren called them distinguished.

"If that's the case, I accept it graciously, Cha— Chad, my brother Chad!" Without saying any more words, Darren saluted the grand warriors. "I'm counting on your help today. Please help me kill the Blade Holy Lord!"

As these grand warriors did not block out the senses of the onlookers from afar, they were able to hear the conversation between Darren and the grand warriors clearly with their spiritual sense. Every single one of their faces turned red in envy.

"No problem! We'll give it all that we have so you can kill Bryan today!"

Gerald was infuriated by their conversation. Those nine one-star grand warriors thought of him as nothing.

"Die! All of you!" Gerald's golden chain swooped in like lightning with a force that was powerful enough for the destruction of the whole world.

Scott, who was closest to him, instantly unleashed his domain, sending out a dragon's horrifying roar that echoed all throughout the land.

With the roar of a dragon, the battle of the grand warriors had commenced.
