Chapter 1233 An Encounter

Akbar hurriedly sent Darren and the others outside.

"Please take care of Aaron for me, sir." Darren spoke with more respect and sincerity than usual ashe addressed Akbar.

"Rest assured that I'll take good care of my dear disciple," Akbar said as he patted him on theshoulder.

"Thank you very much. We shall now take our leave.” Darren then cupped his hands together tosalute him. Soon, he and his companions left.

It took them three days to get out of the swamp. Along the way, they had encountered a couple ofbeasts which Darren had easily dealt with.

"There's nothing in our way now, sir. We can start moving faster.”

"Well, it will be great if we get there as soon as possible, or else we'll be in trouble if the Xiling Clancatches up with us."

Hence, they all accelerated their flying. In a blink of an eye, another month had passed by.

Finally, they landed on a deserted mountain for a rest.

One by one, they landed.

But hardly an hour had gone by when a grey figure suddenly showed up in midair. Then more greyfigures began appearing above them until Darren and his companions found themselvessurrounded.

"Let's go down and investigate!"

The grey figures began descending all at once until they now stood in front of Darren and hisgroup.

"Who are you?" the late comer asked menacingly.

"Shut up! Who the hell are you? How dare you threaten my master like that? Fuck off before it's toolate!" Jefferson stepped forward and stood between Darren and the mysterious intruders.

"You?" The man frowned and looked at Jefferson. His eyes scanned him from head to toe severaltimes before he turned to his companions. "I know him. He used to be one of the leaders of thegangsters in the jungle. He had worked with our youngest master, Burke.”

"Great! He's exactly whom Master Davis is looking for. Let's take them all. If anyone tries to resist,just kill them!"

It was then that Darren realized that the intruders were warriors of the Xiling Clan.

He scanned the group on the other side and noted that there were about two hundred warriors. Theweakest seemed to be at the low-level of the Star God Realm, while the strongest was at the top-level of the Star God Realm.

"Sir, we have to move fast. Davis’ avatar isn't with them so now's our chance," Wilson suggested."Follow my orders. Go and kill them all!"

Darren shouted at his people, who immediately rushed towards their enemies. Jefferson swung hisbattle axe mightily over two enemies. A thunderbolt burst out so suddenly. In a blink of an eye, hehad successfully chopped of their heads. Meanwhile, Duke didn't even have to think twice on usinghis Primeval Bloodline as he rushed towards their strongest enemy.

In the midst of the battle, Darren joined in the foray and used his own powers. With his every move,he killed several people at once.

It didn't take long before the whole mountain was stained with blood. The screams echoed in theair, one after another.

The fight lasted for two hours. Both sides suffered greatly from it. The only people left fighting werethe figures attacking each other in midair.

Darren found himself surrounded by three masters at the upper-level of the Star God Realm. Dukewas still locked into battle with the strongest master.

"Look! Master Darren is besieged by three strong enemies!"

Jefferson, Wilson and Finley watched the fight unfold as they stood on the mountain. There was ageneral wave of anxiety among them, but they were too injured to continue fighting.

"Lindsay, are you alright?" Finley asked in concern. His face was white as sheet.

"Fuck off! I'm fine, okay? So, don't look at me like that!" Lindsay had also obtained serious injuriesduring the battle.

"Hey, stop that. I really do care about you, you know," Finley protested softly.

"You bastard! So now you're concerned about me. But when I was poisoned, you didn't even showan ounce of worry over me!" Lindsay snorted in disdain.

"That was different! You were ugly at that time. If I asked then, I wouldn't be sincere.”

His words had almost spurred Lindsay back on her feet to kick his ass, but she had no strength left."Please calm down. Look! Darren is already in danger." Finley had turned serious again as he saidthis. He returned his attention back to the fighting figures overhead.

Three cultivators now stood in front of Darren. They didn't hold back as they released their attacksat him. One after another, they all came towards Darren. In the end, he found it difficult to dodgeand launch his own counterattack at the same time.

'lt seems like I have no choice now but to use the black god's power to defeat these cultivators, *Darren thought to himself.

Throughout the entire battle, he had only relied on his dark gold internal force. He still had histrump card up his sleeve. If that was the case, he would also be able to test his true strength.

Then, he would finally understand his own capabilities at the cost of his injuries.

With that, there was a loud explosion.

The force of it vibrated across the air. The entire area shuddered as two streams of black god'spower erupted from Darren's palms.

It then transformed into two dragons. Both looked ferocious and vicious as they writhed over eachother in the air.

"What the hell is that?"

Upon seeing such power, the three cultivators hurriedly retreated. They could sense how terriblypowerful it was even from a distance.

"I don't understand. He is only at the Domain God Realm! How could he possibly have such god'spower?"

Darren's display of power had completely confused the three cultivators. They had never heard ofsuch a thing before, and this was the first time they were seeing it with their own eyes.

"Let's go and kill him!"

"No! Master Davis ordered us to bring him back alive!"

"Are you out of your mind? If we don't kill him, he'll kill us instead. So, let's go!"

The three finally decided to put aside their master's order. With that, they didn't hold back as theytried to kill Darren.

Soon, the three cultivators collided with the two black dragon gushing out from Darren's palms.Upon impact, they could feel their own god's power breaking up and scattering all over the place. Ithad also gravely wounded them.

"Humph. Do you really think you can kill me?"

Darren sneered and vanished into the void. Suddenly, several black god's power shot out from theair. It had completely blocked all possible escapes from the fight.

"Master Pollard! Help us! Please!"

It wasn't long before the three cultivators began yelling desperately for help. They could feel deathcreeping near as the black god's power came nearer.

However, Pollard Xiling, the strongest warrior among them, was still locked in battle with Duke. Hecouldn't come to his companions’ aids even if he wanted to.

"Damn it! How could such monster exist?” He himself could feel that something was suppressing hisown strength. It was like some kind of aura. If it wasn't for that, he could have killed Duke easily thiswhole time.

"You've forced me to do this! I'm going to kill you even if it means taking my own life as well. Go tohell!"

His face twisted menacingly as the entire skin on his body cracked.

"Blood Sacrificing Belligerence! Attack!"

His roar was deafening.

Meanwhile, his aura burst out and instantly suppressed Duke.

Upon sensing danger, Darren tried to finish off the three cultivators as fast as he could,

With his black god's power, it didn't take long for the three cultivators to succumb to his power.Desperation had finally taken hold of them.

They had no strength left to resist the incoming blow.

With the flash and glint of cold steel, three heads flew in the air and landed with consecutive dullthuds.

"Assimilate.”

Darren released his power and began assimilating the three cultivators’ talents.

He also assimilated the talents of the ones who were killed before.

Countless balls of light began to rush towards Darren. They sank inside his head and disappearedinto the black space.

When all that were done, he didn't rush towards Duke to help him out. At this point, he felt that hestill couldn't take on the cultivator at the top-level of the Star God Realm. He had to wait until hecould simply sneak an attack on his enemy as soon as both sides showed any signs of weaknessHe finally descended from the sky and stood beside Finley and the others.

"Lindsay, prepare to call Carlisle. Duke's life might be in danger now," Darren said.

Due to their fiend characteristics, Carlisle and the others were currently cultivating in Lindsay'sspace.

"We should probably wait for the right moment. They have fiendish aura in them. If they ever fall inthe hands of a powerful reclusive cultivator, they could get killed. Therefore, I don't think it's a goodidea to call them out now," Lindsay explained.

"I see. Let's wait for a moment." Darren returned his attention back to the sky where the battlecontinued.

Soon, Duke wouldn't be able to hold out on Pollard's fierce attacks. He would eventually lose.
