Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 577 Preparations

The fiends bloodline and the dragon's bloodline were the natural sworn enemies!

Darren had not known why, but he had generated nebula in his elixir field before just because of this mere reason.

The meeting of Scott with the young man in black armor naturally caused the innate hatred, which was even beyond their control. This explained why such a scene happened.

At that time, the situation was so intense that the fight was just another futile word to explain it. Darren was sure that if the fight broke out, Scott would definitely be the one who lost.

Darren was standing on a side and trying to get the hang of all of this. He was worried because he was not wanting them to fight, so he flew over and stood between them, trying to stop the battle. As Darren tried to stop the fight, he started to feel heavy and weak at the same time because of the enormous pressure crushing his bones and making them creak, and he was unable to bear this burden any longer.

"Scott, please restrain yourself," Darren worriedly yelled at Scott.

Yet Scott had paid no heed to Darren's call since he was so furious and eager to get into a fight. Fear was evident in Scott's dragon eyes, but the dragon blood in his body began to boil with rage. He knew he was no match with his opponent, but still, he was ready to fight till the last breath.

The brutal aura of the young man in black armor soared to the extreme. His face was burning with violence like hell. He was ready to kill Scott with bare hands. Darren knew the consequences would be unimaginable if he made a move

"What could I do now?" Darren asked himself.

Darren was a young and warm-blooded guy. He fought many wars with his blade and sword. But for now, it was certain that he couldn't stop them with his strength, so he started pondering about other tactics to become triumphant in this fight.

Suddenly, Darren came up with an outstanding idea that could resolve the conflict.

He drew out his blade and sword, emitting countless of olive-black force to hover between Scott and the black-armored young man

Darren deemed that his olive-black force was made from the combination of aura of dragon blood and demonic internal force, which had reached an unprecedented state of balance. Maybe releasing this olive-black force could stop the innate hostility between the two.

"Great! It works!"

A few moments later, Darren was overjoyed.

As he felt that the confrontation aura between the two was slowly weakening.

The young man in black armor relied on Darren to find the blood-essence mutant. Scott and Darren were friends that fought many wars and had been together in many life and death situations. Therefore, both the black-armored young man and Scott certainly had no intentions to keep hating each other in their minds.

Several minutes later, the rage between them started to fade away and both of them returned to peace. Now the situation was under control, and Scott also came back in his human form.

"Phew!" Scott heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, he was scared when he confronted the young man in black armor, who was much stronger than him.

"I just failed to suppress my instinct, and I heartily apologize, Darren,” Scott spoke humbly.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you are fine now.” Darren was finally relieved.

"Who is he?" Gazing upon the young man in black armor, Scott felt uncomfortable and a little intuitive to fight with him, but he could control it now.

"His background is very complicated. I will explain it to you later in detail. For now, our mission is to find the blood-essence mutant, who is the king of black mutants,” Darren explained to Scott.

Scott precisely consented and replied, "Okay, let's do it." Scott always trusted Darren and had utter faith in his decisions.

Darren nodded as his sights were drawn to the young man in black armor.

There could be another devastating clash between the young man and Scott if the young man went along with them. It would be very inconvenient as Darren had to keep an eye on the two all the time. But if the young man didn't tag along, even if Darren and Scott succeeded in finding the blood-essence mutant, they would never defeat the mutant without the help of the black-armored young man.

Darren had no idea what to choose. He was confused and his head felt like a stone in a barrel.

"Feel free to go with him. I'll be there as soon as you find the blood-essence mutant. The ball is in your court now."

The young man in black armor noticed a strange look on Darren's face. He sensed the conflicted thoughts in Darren's mind. A black-light rose in the center of his palm and he rubbed it to Darren's shoulder.

"What is this?" Darren asked with curiosity. Darren was not at all hesitant, because he knew that the black-armored young man would not hurt him this time, yet he was confused and failed to figure out what he was trying to do.

"This is my vital essence with which I can even sense the blood-essence mutant from far away as long as he is near you," the young man in black armor declared.

"Got it."

"Let's go."

Everything was settled so the black-armored young man stayed on the island and Darren and Scott flew up to the sky to start their mission.

Darren told Scott the full and twisted story of the black-armored young main during flight. "Incredible! I have never thought this kind of thing would happen. Something beyond my wildest imaginations!" Scott made his comment after Darren told him the complete tale of the black- armored young man.

"Yes, isn't this fascinating? But at first, it was also hard to understand for me. A hint of the soul which lived hundreds of thousands of years ago actually came back to life independently,” Darren replied as he heaved a sigh.

"Darren, are you sure what he said is right? What if he is actually the blood-essence mutant and he just diverted us from knowing the truth and turned us in the wrong direction?” Scott grooved his eyebrows in doubt as he questioned.

"I don't think so. You are well aware of his strength because during the quarrel between you two. With his current strength, it is very easy, for him to assassinate us. He doesn't need to do that.” "You are right. Let's trust what he said.” Scott nodded, presenting a gesture of compliance.

"What's pestering me now is how to find the whereabouts of the blood-essence mutant?”

They had no conception of what to do as they flew purposelessly.

"Although the blood-essence mutant has to dodge the young man in black armor, his ultimate goal is to open the forbidden areas of the Holy Lands. We just need to guard the forbidden area of each Holy Land." Scott shared his opinion with Darren

"Well, that makes sense.” Darren gave an idea. "Shouldn't we just notify some masters and let them protect each Holy Land ranging within a thousand miles? We can then join them as soon as the king approaches the forbidden areas,” Darren suggested

The body of the first ancestor of the fiend had been divided to eight parts which were kept and suppressed in the eight Holy Lands. Darren and Scott were unable to find where the blood-essence mutant was only by themselves.

So, they needed to deliver over adequate counting of three-star grand warriors to guard each forbidden area. If the blood-essence mutant was close to the area, the grand warriors would surely perceive him.

"That's great. I am going back to the Dragon Holy Land to make some arrangements. Darren, you can inform as many master warriors as you can and try to convince them to help us guarding the Holy Lands.” Scott consented with Darren.

"Ok. I am going to the Heavenly Palace Sect first to inform the grand warriors about our cause.” Darren was one of the reputed warriors in all lands. The prominence of Darren was bountiful to give commandments to any strong warriors of the Bottom spiritual World. Moreover, it was a matter of life and death, so the grand warriors would definitely do everything that Darren told them to. Darren had gotten everything prepared in the next three days period.

Of the eight Holy Lands, the Dragon Holy Land was guarded by Scott, and each of the rest six Holy Lands was protected by three-hundred, three-star grand warriors. And Darren himself went to the Lotus Holy Land to guard it.

This place was actually the starting point of Darren. He felt nostalgic about this place.

The Lotus Holy Land was a beautiful place, which had been once smashed and torn into pieces by the Blade Holy Land. Now Lotus Holy Land regained its former style and beauty with having a new Holy Lord.

"Damn it! Who the hell are you? How dare you break into our Holy Land?"

Once Darren was close to the ante-port of the Lotus Holy Land, two one-star grand warriors made a thunder at Darren.

"Request your Holy Lord to allow me to meet him,” Darren commanded in an unperturbed tone. "Mr. Chu has strictly directed that no one is authorized to intrude into or exit the Holy Land without sanction. Evade right now, or we will edify you a lesson.” In an endeavor to threaten Darren, the two guardians extricated their power.

Darren gave an imperceptible smile upon hearing this.

Darren was happy and satisfied because this order was given by him to the three-star grand warriors. Now the guards of the Holy Land were stopping him, which meant they had done a great job.

Darren after introducing himself conveyed that he would be shielding this place on his own along with these people. "I'm Darren. I'll guard this place with you guys on my own.”

As Darren was done with his speech, colossal blade and sword intents blazed by, which made the two guards’ faces deadly anemic.

With blade and sword intents, he was able to freely control his horrifying aura. Who else in the world could achieve this except Darren? These at least, convinced the two guards and they believed Darren.

"We didn't expect it's you, Mr. Chu. We are sorry!" The two guards instantly knelt on the ground and kowtowed subserviently to Darren.

Darren ordered them to stand up and further added, "No one is allowed to kneel in front of me. In fact, I don't like this courtesy and favors to have simple and common greeting only."

Darren responded calmly and disappeared into thin air.

"I've met Mr. Chu!"

"We are fortunate to have met Mr. Chu. As others declared that he is indeed, so kind."

After Darren left, the two left behind got upright, being very bright-eyed and bushy-tailed that they failed to contain their excitement.

"Welcome, sir!"

Darren went straight to meet the new Holy Lord.

"You're welcome, Distinguished Holy Lord! Lord, does anything wrong happened lately?" Darren asked in a gentle tone.

"Nothing special! But there is a senior who is requesting to meet you," the novel Holy Lord of the Lotus Holy Land declared.

"A senior?” Darren questioned him in great astonishment.

"Ha-ha! Bloke, aren't you going to give me the reward from the Sacred Palace?" a skinny elder man said as he walked up to Darren.
