Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 747 Those Days Of Cultivation

The immense force attached to the purple-crystal snake's tail forcibly split the space and remarkably left a black crevice.

Shortly after mobilizing his dragon blood aura and demonic internal force at the same time, Darren let out an angry roar.

Darren was on full alert though he didn't think he could withstand the blow. He mulled over the thought of his body splitting in half like what the purple-crystal snake claimed.

Just when the powerful snake tail was about to hit Darren's body, a figure, who was silently observing at the side, acted immediately and appeared in front of him. He seemed to shield Darren from the attack.

Bang!

The figure was directly shattered, with blood and flesh spattering around.

"Aaron!" Elsa, who was cautiously standing beside them, screamed instinctively.

"Don't worry. Aaron possesses an Eternal Body. Hurry up, let's go to the master,” the Water Kylin urged hastily.

After the purple-crystal snake's tail smashed Aaron into pieces, its strength declined by half. And it wouldn't be so terrifying if it tried to hit Darren again.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Both the Water Kylin and Elsa didn't waste another second and rushed towards Darren.

Then moments later, Aaron had rebuilt his body as if nothing had happened. When his gaze landed on Darren, he approached him.

Boom!

Everyone heard a sudden booming sound when Darren swept his dragon tail again, knocking a big hole in the broken, transparent wall.

And in no time, Darren and the others swiftly jumped into the hole.

"Damn it!"

Their actions were taken within less than a second. And even the purple-crystal snake didn't have the time to react.

When he attempted to kill Darren again, their figures had already disappeared in the purple mist behind them.

"Get him!"

The purple-crystal snake dared not step into the ancestral place, so he yelled an order to the small purple-crystal men to chase after them.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak.”

The little purple-crystal men turned very excited as they scented and marked Darren's breath as well as that of the others. Then they chased after them.

"They are chasing us!" the Water Kylin roared.

Several small purple-crystal men moved so fast and soon caught up with them. Their speed was indeed notable.

"Kill them!"

Darren transformed back into his human form in an instant while holding a piece of first-class purple crystal in his hand. With his figure flashing out, Darren smashed the head of a small purple- crystal man

However, more and more purple-crystal men came up one after another at an accelerated speed, and that gave them a hard time.

"They are so fast!" one of them exclaimed, feeling agitated.

"Wait a minute! It's not that they are fast, but that we are sluggish!" another from the group blurted out.

By this time, Darren realized that their bodies were getting heavier and heavier when they moved forward as if burdened with a giant stone weighing thousands of kilograms.

"That's right. The deeper we get in, the more pressure we would be under, while the small purple- crystal men are not affected at all.” Elsa also felt something wrong as she suddenly noticed she was struggling, and then abruptly pointed out, "Darren, we can't go inside now. The deeper we get in, the more limited our strength will be, and we will be unable to deal with these purple-crystal men." "Well, Elsa is right. We can only deal with these pests here,”

Darren acknowledged it and gestured, making others stop in their track.

There were over hundreds of purple-crystal men, and each of them was by no means weak, so it was not easy to defeat all of them. And they must think of a way to overpower and subdue these creatures.

At any rate, however, everything would be fine as long as the purple-crystal snake didn't chase after them.

"Darren, do these little creatures have souls?" Elsa suddenly prompted.

Hearing her, Darren unleashed his Spirit Power to probe about in the nick of time, and his eyes consequently lit up with joy. He beamed, "Thanks for reminding me, Elsa. They have souls.” Whoosh!

And in a blink of an eye, Darren's soul attack was launched.

However, the soul arrows released didn't hurt the purple-crystal men at all when shooting in their heads

"Just kill them!" Darren urged with a soft roar.

Taking in the urgency underlying Darren's tone, they all flashed out immediately, their immense power bursting out, which forcibly made the purple-mist area shake violently.

The whole fight lasted for a couple of hours that eventually determined the final victors.

While most of the purple-crystal men were killed, it was fortunate though that Darren and the others were only more or less hurt, sustaining minor injuries.

"Luckily, the use of physical power was their only resort and not their powerful martial arts skills. Otherwise, it could have been a tough fight,”

commented Darren, as his figure constantly flashed.

Another four hours later, all the purple-crystal men were all finally killed. They were exhausted as if their strength went down the drain

"Phew!" With wounds they sustained all over their bodies, Darren tiredly sat on the ground with his legs crossed, trying to recover his strength.

It took Darren and others ten days to fully recover from these injuries.

Soon after they had regained their lost strength, Darren and his companions immediately proceeded in the vast purple mist.

"Darren, how are we supposed to find a way out since you can't even unleash your Spirit Power?" Elsa managed to ask as they continued to march forward patiently for ten days without even an exact destination. They had no idea where they were heading. At this point, they all started to feel puzzled.

"We can't go out for now. The purple-crystal snake won't easily let go of us. Even if he isn't guarding outside, he will send his subordinates to monitor us closely. And as soon as we go out, he will definitely come for us.” Darren frowned as he fell deeply in his thoughts.

"We can't hide here forever,” the Water Kylin gloomily said with his head drooped.

"Darren, since we still can't go out, you can continue to practice and hone yourself. Then if you are strong enough, you can ease your way out to kill him,” Aaron suggested. He thought it was that easy.

If Darren was not strong enough, then he must improve himself to be stronger!

The sole reason why Aaron thought in this way was that time didn’t seem to mean anything to him. In other words, he didn't have a sense of time.

However, this simple idea enlightened Darren to some extent lifting his spirits.

He, at that moment, was neither strong nor weak. That said, tribulations seriously came to people of that level.

They all got trapped because he did not break through to the Holy Realm. If he did, his power would be poles apart from what it had been before.

"That's it, so let's practice together. Enhancing strength is always the right choice,"

replied Darren firmly.

He looked around and positively noted that it was indeed the best choice to cultivate right there. Darren also realized that deep in the purple mist, they were under increasing pressure, let alone potential dangers lying ahead.

"It's not a good idea to stay in the wild. Let's knock a cave,”

the Water Kylin proposed while looking at the corpses of the little purple-crystal men lying on the ground. He even suggested that they could take the bodies as tools to knock a hole.

"Okay, let's start,”

Darren readily agreed, and soon the other people moved together. And in less than an hour, a cave was created.

"Wow, you are a good craftsman, Darren, well done.”

Naturally, he earned high praise from everyone. When they got inside the cave, they were all amazed as there were several rooms designed exquisitely.

"Now, let's start to cultivate,” Darren prompted.

"Then I'll go to that room and leave you alone," the Water Kylin countered and left first in a hurried manner.

"Darren, I'm going to practice now,” Aaron said.

Darren and Elsa then chose a room across them and started to cultivate together.

With all of them engrossed in their cultivation, time flew without them realizing it. Ten years had passed in the twinkling of an eye.

During the past ten years, Darren had been practicing the sword and blade intents in his mind, trying his best to comprehend their very nature.

He adopted an arduous path to integrate the blade and sword intents. Though his future was unknown, once he succeeded, he would be unprecedentedly powerful.

"My strength will level up a notch higher than the previous one, if I fuse one more sword intent.” Darren decided to add another sword intent into what he already had after careful consideration. But Darren's blade intent was still at the original level, as he had yet to fuse any more kinds of blade intents.

"The imbalance is the scourge of my defect in power. After integrating another sword intent, I should give first priority to cultivate my blade intent.” Darren made up his mind secretly.

Darren had already deduced the fifth kind of sword intent over those years of wandering in the space turbulent flows. Therefore the last challenge was comprehension and fusion.

"This kind of sword intent is overbearing and keen. It's not easy to be well versed in it."

Darren then indulged himself in the cultivation, and practiced in his mind.

The complex sword tracks gradually perfected, and a strong stream of sword power burst out one day fifteen years later.

Darren had practiced this sword intent close to the extreme level
