Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 378 The Shocking Battles

Fierce battles arose. Tremendous exchange of auras, spirits, and intents occurred, especially with Finley. As countless lights broke out in all directions, the thirteenth space shook tempestuously because of the repercussions.

At this time, Darren and the Water Kylin pushed Landon back. Luckily, they had compelled him farther away from Finley. Otherwise, their battle against Landon would be affected, and Darren wouldn't want that to happen.

"Finley is a beast. He really fights with the five-star grand warrior! That Holy Lord would be a piece of cake for him," the Water Kylin exclaimed when he noticed the progress of the battle.

Stimulated by Finley's exceptional courage, the Water Kylin turned furious. As a result, his fighting capacity went up along with his determination to help Darren out in defeating the Holy Lord. Thus, gathering his strength, he launched intensive attacks to Landon, even prevailing over him.

At the same time, Darren fought like a guerrilla, assaulting Landon with powerful skills one at a time. Under the converging attack of Darren and the Water Kylin, Landon had been all scratched up. He was so exhausted at receiving each blow, sweats soaked his garments, and he was panting hard to breathe.

"Damn you bastards! Go to hell!" Not giving up, Landon bellowed as his belly lit up. Then a cloud of hyacinthine lightning gathered around him. The force accumulated around him stirred and collected around his body.

"Eh?" A furrow appeared at Darren's brow as he wondered, sensing that something horrible was about to happen. It seemed that the lightning in Landon's belly was a lot stronger than the lightning shot from his eyes.

"Man, watch your back. He is going to put up a desperate fight!" Darren whispered to the Water Kylin using his spiritual sense.

"Master, stay away. Let me confront him with my absolute power!” the Water Kylin shouted valorously back to Darren. Instead of showing fear, the Water Kylin shrank and spat out a crystal bead.

Seeing the bead, Darren was surprised for he had never seen the Water Kylin displayed such a skill, even when he was at death's door.

The crystal bead ceaselessly rotated before the Water Kylin, and the blue flames on his body suddenly blazed, painting the sky in blue. Maybe that was one of his hidden skills—one that would be his last retort in desperate times.

"I see. This is your most powerful skill" Darren sighed in sudden comprehension of the Water Kylin's display of power. Since the aura continuously rose, he receded to somewhere far away. The collision that would reach such a high level was far beyond Darren's power. Even if he was in the Ancient Void Battlefield, he couldn't afford to handle it. Darren knew that if he insisted on staying on the battlefield the moment the Water Kylin released his power, he would be obliterated in no time. Therefore, Darren flew as far as he could away from the battle and started to watch the combat between Finley and the law enforcer.

Judging from the look on the faces of both warriors and the exchange of powers that commenced between them, Darren could say that the battle was so heart-stirring. The law enforcer, holding a fiery-red spear, danced in the void while Finley flexibly evaded his attacks. The two were almost equal when it came to skills and powers. Thus the battle was a close match.

"Wow. That spear is too powerful. Fortunately, Finley has sufficient knowledge about the space rules, or else he would have been defeated. The five-star grand warrior's power is so remarkable,” Darren sighed, with all of his attention at the battle between Finley and the five-star grand warrior. At the moment, the law enforcer had lost the feeling of inner calmness because he discovered using his spiritual sense that Finley's bone age was just about sixteen years old when he had advanced to become a four-star grand warrior. Much more was, he was able to comprehend the supreme space rules at that very young age. As far as the law enforcer was concerned, no talent like Finley existed in the Medium Spiritual World, and maybe only the Upper Spiritual World stood one talent like Finley—he was definitely one of a kind.

Deep in his thoughts, he knew very well that such an extraordinary talent like Finley must be a potential holy warrior! As far as the rules said, a potential holy warrior was the candidate who had the qualities to become a holy warrior.

"Boy, where do you come from? Why have I never heard about you before?" the law enforcer asked Finley. Since he had felt Finley's extraordinary qualities, he stopped attacking him cruelly.

"If you could win against me, I will answer your question!" Finley replied brazenly. His capabilities were quite beyond the law enforcer's expectations.

"Well. I will show no mercy to you then! What I can promise you, though, is that I could keep you alive,"

the law enforcer said as he pulled his palms together in the air. Instantly, the fiery-red spear turned into eight spears, each of them looking like living beings—as if eight beasts from the ancient times. Seeing the scene, Finley moved back, for he knew he was not yet a master when it came to space skills. He hadn't perfected the crafts and principles yet. The eight spears blocked his route of retreat and shot to drive him backward. In a short while, Finley was put in a hard-pressed condition. "Chooooo!" Out of his fear, Finley took a deep breath. Then he sighed, "The power of the five-star grand warrior should not be underestimated. I must admit I admire that.”

While he was saying that the eight spears hit him, Finley was on the verge of collapsing. He had no chance to resist the spears’ power. He knew very well that this was not yet the most potent skill that the five-star grand warrior possessed. He was able to have that assumption, for he noticed that the law enforcer himself was just leisurely watching him fighting against the eight spears. Once the law enforcer joined the battle, the consequence would be disastrous—Finley was in dire trouble. Witnessing the breathtaking skill, Darren was excited. Both of the warriors’ powers made him yearn for more cultivation so he could be on par with them.

However, he realized that those were only limited five-star grand warriors, who had been to a lot of battles and endured thousands of cultivations and training to achieve such skills. “How powerful the six-star grand warriors and the seven-star grand warriors would be!" Darren wondered in awe. Superior to them, there were supernatural warriors in the Holy Realm. What was more, the holy warriors were the most powerful, and they even transcended across the ages. Thinking of that, Darren dreaded to imagine how mighty holy warriors would be.

"In terms of my power, before the real holy warriors, I am just nobody. Before me, laid a still long way to go to be a powerful martial artist." Realizing the long path he would tread, Darren sighed, he was more than excited to achieve such level in the days to come.

Boom!

The fiery-red energy exploded, swirling and bursting non-stop. Being sieged in all directions, Finley continuously flew and leaped to dodge the attacks.

While he was doing all that dodging and leaping, Darren noticed that rather than being pained, Finley wore a quirky smile. He seemed to be enjoying the whole ordeal.

"The Space Storm!" Finley yelled at the next moment. In a blink of an eye, a black vortex appeared above the void. It caught the law-enforcer's attention, and he even looked up to notice the unusual vortex.

Actually, the black vortex was not new to Darren because it looked almost the same with the black hole that the Water Kylin produced when he beat Landon earlier in the outside world. However, the space on the outside world was unsteady. The extinguishing force of the space crack in the outside world could not rival that of the Ancient Void Battlefield!

The black vortex immediately devoured the eight fiery-red spears of the law enforcer, sparks flashing, and creating a show of dancing light across the void. The law enforcer who used to be calm and peaceful suddenly turned as white as a sheet.

"The spatial martial skill. You really surprise me. But let us put an end to this battle now. I've given you enough chance to let you hurt me a little." With that, the law enforcer connected with his fiery- red spear as integration of his skill. Now that the spear was devoured by the Space Storm and suffered the strong extinguishing force in the middle of it, the law enforcer at the same time was hurt.

"Come back!" The law enforcer ordered as his palms were put together and waved towards the black vortex. Then some fiery-red particles rushed out from the other end of the black vortex and reunited on his hand.

On the other side, the Water Kylin and Landon fought bitterly and desperately. None of them showed signs of yielding nor retreating. Both were eager to fight till their last breath.

The blue flames on the Water Kylin had been dimmed, and Landon had been burned black with only a little lightning glittering. Landon was so severely injured that he almost passed out.

Bang!

By this point, both of them had run out of their powers. With that, they were engaged in hand-to- hand combat with one another using their fists and palms.

Seeing this, Darren saw his chance. With a beaming grin, he flew over to them.

As he approached near them, he bellowed, "You double-headed beast. I admit that your skill to hide is excellent. If I hadn't owned the Ancient Void Battlefield, you might have killed me.

But now you should pay the price.”

He noticed that Landon was forceless now, by the way his shoulders slumped and his face downcast. Thus, he decided to confront him directly.

"You human bastard, kill me if you can!" Challenged, Landon, though he was as weak as a prey. He was looking intensely at Darren's eye while those words came out of his mouth.

"Good. You should receive the deserved punishment!"

Darren shouted in response. Even as the sound of his voice faded away, the blade and sword intent around him was released as a ray of light darting towards Landon.

In the void, the light of blade and sword intent gushed out ceaselessly. At the same time, the dark gold force was shot violently to Landon, who could not escape nor withstand it.

"Ah!" Hit by the intents, Landon suddenly roared in pain. He was on the verge of death, and his soul seemed to escape out of his eyes.

At the moment, he finally revealed his cruel face. To Darren's surprise, the hideous scar between his neck and shoulder began to stir. It was as if a creature was about to break out from the spot.
