Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 834 A Sudden Attack

Darren found himself enveloped by a fierce beam of light.

It sent shivers down his spine as he sensed its hostility.

"Who are you?" Darren shouted instinctively, staring at the man who looked like himself.

"Talk about that later.” Barnes the Holy shrank his stick, small enough to be used to pick his teeth. He went on, "Brat, go to kill that skeleton. This is an order.”

The emissary of the first fiend ancestor snapped his attention on Barnes the Holy. Fear was evident in his eyes

The fear came from the depths of his soul as if he was facing the first fiend ancestor.

But despite his fear, he refused to obey Barnes the Holy's command.

"If you don't move now, I'll kill you instead,” Barnes the Holy threatened.

The emissary trembled in terror. He felt the intensity of Barnes the Holy's threat, and his body began to move involuntarily.

The senior holy warrior was trapped within an illusion where all he could see was his enemies from the ancient times. He could not extricate himself from it.

But with his strong soul, it was only a matter of time before he could break out of this trap caused by the fiendish nature.

The emissary approached the ancient senior holy warrior. A wave of malicious aura rushed through him, making him feel suffocated.

Then suddenly, he began to shake.

His figure rippled in the air, slowly fading until he disappeared.

"Humph! He finally made his move under my deterrence.” Barnes the Holy crowed, laughing triumphantly.

Meanwhile, Darren sensed danger lying ahead. After the toad's betrayal, he had become more cautious. Moreover, the guy looked exactly like him but looked infinitely more hostile.

With this, he knew he couldn't let his guards down.

Buzz.

The air rippled again, and a white palm appeared.

A violent aura surrounded it like dark clouds coiling over it. It suddenly shot towards Darren's heart. "I was right!” The attack was sudden, but Darren was prepared for it. He crouched down, dodging the palm but it still grazed at his collarbone. Just right above his heart.

Its fiendish aura flowed into Darren's body, breaking his collarbone. The aura ran through his meridians, shattering a lot of them in its wake. The pain pierced through his soul.

Darren was no stranger to pain, but the effects of the palm's attack rendered him incapable of lifting enough strength.

The emissary was indeed very powerful. Even when he missed his target, he continued releasing his malicious aura.

Darren swooped down to see through the blanket of black mist. If he was hit again, he could die. "Assimilate!”

Darren instinctively gathered his Assimilation Skill as the aura rushed towards him.

His Assimilation Skill swallowed up the incoming blow from the fiendish aura. Black smoke rose from Darren's elixir field and emerged into the spinning pyramid. He finally let out a sigh of relief. "What a pure demonic internal force!" The demonic internal force was indeed purer than the one from the young man in black armor.

The spinning pyramid in his elixir field was filled by a large amount of demonic internal force, breaking the balance between the demonic internal force and the dragon blood aura. The only thing that protected Darren was the spinning pyramid. A new balance would be formed automatically.

He felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth pour inside his body like a tide. It transformed into the aura of the dragon blood, evening the imbalance once more.

It felt like a long time passed for the change to take effect, but in truth, it only happened within a few seconds.

With the dragon blood aura's healing capabilities, Darren's heart began to recover at a fast pace. It siphoned off the pain that lingered inside his body and increased his strength

He laughed, overjoyed. 'Ha-ha! His attack is helping me improve my strength and recover, * he thought.

This left the emissary gobsmacked. He didn't expect his fiendish aura to be absorbed like that. He searched within the memories he had inherited from Darren's blood essence and soon found out the reason.

Whoosh!

He spiraled down in a rush. His fiendish aura created a crazy whirlpool in between his palms.

He just had to make sure that the force behind his blows surpassed Darren's assimilating capability so that the latter would not be able to keep up with his strength. In this way, he would kill Darren and devour his flesh.

Bang!

He shot his swirl of fiendish aura at Darren. It seemed to suck the world along as it headed straight at Darren.

This much power was impossible for Darren to assimilate. It would kill him instantly.

"You're too presumptuous. You think you can ignore my order? Attack him!"

Barnes the Holy simmered with rage upon seeing the defiance of the fake Darren. With a burst of his own fiendish aura, he pounced at the emissary.

The emissary roared.

It was a terrifying sight to behold.

He immediately sent a message to the forbidden area. "Master, a strong cultivator want to suppress me," the message said.

Then, the spiritual sense of the first fiend ancestor broke through millions of space just to reach the abyss. It latched on to the aura of Barnes the Holy.

A shadow of a gray pyramid haloed around the emissary's head.

At the same time, a tremendous fiend power burst out of it, heading directly at Barnes the Holy.

A dodecahedral crystal suddenly popped out from the head of Barnes the Holy.

It collided with the fiend power, producing a force that could destroy everything.

Crack.

The sky rained hard with countless thunderbolts. The whole area began to collapse.

Darren was left stunned by the scene in front of him. He could feel the full brunt of Barnes the Holy's invincible aura.

"What's going on? How did he manage to burst out such powerful force? Isn't he being suppressed by a mysterious force?" The thought flashed through Darren's mind.

But he had no time to think. He wouldn't be able to survive the next attack so he had to move. Upon assimilating yet another of the fiendish aura, he swiftly fled. He hid himself under the magma, letting his body recover.

However, due to his desperate effort to escape, a part of his healed heart collapsed once again. The strain was too much on his battered body.

Nonetheless, he didn't dare stop. He kept going underground, covering a hundred thousand kilometers in an instant.

He knew he couldn't relax. His duplicate was sure to be on his trail right at this moment. Meanwhile, a vortex disturbed the stretch of the northern area of the Raksa Sea. Blood red magma then shot out from deep within the sea, burning the ancient sea in bright light.

It was followed by a dark power, soaring right into the sky. It was the fiend power which could suppress the whole world.

The sea became uneasy and restless by the sudden burst of power.

Meanwhile, at the foot of a huge mountain, forty thousand kilometers under the sea, a monkey with golden hair looked up. The image of a black monkey was reflected in his eyes.
