Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 1298 Fighting Maxwell (Part One)

Darren kept on flying at full speed. With the aid of the speed runes, he was able to go back to theStarry Sword Sect within a day.

"How was your trip? Any good news?" As soon as Darren came out of the secret passage, Murphyperceived his arrival and quickly went to welcome him.

"Well, it went fine," Darren answered indifferently.

"What do you mean? Were you able to successfully invite Lord Akbar? Where is he now?" Murphyasked expectantly.

"About that, no, he can't leave that swamp. But in turn, I have here several useful things that hegave me. Here, look at this one.”

Darren took out the exquisite black armor and showed it to Murphy.

As soon as Murphy saw the armor, his eyes lit up immediately. With just a glance, he knew that thisarmor was something powerful and extraordinary.

"He gave this to you?" Murphy asked while his eyes were still fixed on the armor.

"That's right. Come on, put it on. With this, you will be able to fight against Maxwell on equalterms!"

"It's that powerful?"

Without the least hesitation, Murphy grabbed the armor and excitedly put it on.

Suddenly, a strong magical force spread all over his body, causing his meridians to be enhanced bymultiple folds.

"You're right! I can feel the extreme power! I feel like I can easily take on the warriors at the upper-level of the Celestial God Realm with this!" Murphy was overwhelmed with the powerful strengththat flowed in his body. He had never felt this strong before, causing his confidence to boostsignificantly.

However, after thinking carefully for a while, he told Darren, "The people we're facing this time arenot only Maxwell. If he managed to invite any powerful warrior at the top level of the Celestial GodRealm, there's a huge chance that our sect will be in huge trouble.”

After all, there was still a huge gap in strength between warriors at the top level of the Celestial GodRealm and those only at the upper-level.

"Yeah, I've already thought about that. Don't worry. I have my ways to deal with it," Darrenreassured him with a faint smile.

"Fine, I believe you." Murphy had no reason to doubt Darren after the latter brought back such apowerful weapon.

After that, Darren and Murphy went to cultivate their martial arts separately. Even the slightestimprovement would be helpful for them to deal with their future opponents. Moreover, Murphy hadto take the time to master using the armor. If everything went well, he would have better chances ofdefeating the Gambling King.

Two weeks had quickly passed since the two cultivated nonstop.

The following day, the entire branch of the Starry Sword Sect was in an uproar again after thesudden arrival of Maxwell.

Darren and Murphy quickly responded, flew out, and landed on the ground in front of the array. Onthe other side, Maxwell was standing firmly together with his forces.

"I'm pleased that you two bastards came as fast as you could. It'll be easier for me to finish you off!"Maxwell shouted from the other side of the array, exuding an intimidating and ferocious aura."How dare you? You're the one who barged in here in the first place and even kidnapped mydaughter. Your killing points and divine patterns should serve as your compensation,” Murphyretorted with a straight face.

"Nonsense! I will get what I want, Murphy. And what I want today are your and that bastard's heads!You really have the guts to talk back? Can't you see these two masters beside me?!"

Maxwell pointed at the old man and the young man that were standing beside him.

Murphy had already detected the aura of the two men as soon as they showed up. Their strengthwas indeed formidable and he estimated that they must be at least at the upper-level of theCelestial God Realm.

"Yeah, of course. I can also see that you must have spent a lot of money this time,” Darren said in asubtle mocking tone, while Murphy stayed silent.

"Ha! So what? I'm willing to spend billions of killing points just to eliminate you two! And because ofthese two masters with me, you have no chance of escaping alive! But don't think that I'll grant youa swift death. I will kill you slowly that you'll beg me to just kill you already!"

Maxwell's anger was genuine. He was not just throwing empty threats. In the face of the twoformidable masters from the Blood Abyss Sect, the array that they had set up should be useless."Wow, you're so confident. Are you sure of what you're doing? I don't even think the two men youbrought will be capable enough to help you,” Darren taunted.

"You piece of shit. You're still going to be arrogant until the end. Fine! No matter how hard you begme later, I won't show a hint of mercy to you!

Masters, it's time. Help me destroy this array!"

Upon hearing Maxwell's words, the two warriors started doing some gestures with their hands."You don't want to do that, I'm telling you!" Darren suddenly shouted.

"If I were you, I'm not going to meddle in other people's matter, or else, you're going to be in bigtrouble...”

Darren glared at the two masters, and his aggressive words somehow halted their movements. Theywondered what was going on in this man's mind and where his confidence was coming from.

He should clearly understand that the old and young men were pretty powerful. At his current state,he might not be a match to one of them. After all, they were first-class killers from the Blood AbyssSect. There were only a few people in the world that could even threaten them. To throw thosearrogant words at them was equivalent to begging for an immediate death.

"Well said, boy. Now, I'm more certain to let you have a good taste of the ruthlessness of the BloodAbyss Sect!" the old man said in a disdainful tone.

"Did you not hear me, old man? I dare you to attack me, and you would be walking towards yourdeath!" Darren answered back with a solid conviction.

"Hal Let's see what you're made of. I will teach you a good lesson after I destroy this damn array!"The young man also got extremely pissed at Darren's haughtiness.

"All right, fine. Let's see what you have to say after taking a look at this!"

Then, Darren quickly took and displayed a blood-red token from his Space Ring.

"Now, you two, I order you to abandon Maxwell! Or do you not treasure your lives anymore?"Darren said with a cold flash in his eyes. It was as if he unleashed something that would makeanyone bow to him and heed his every order.

Just like what Darren expected, the two masters were greatly taken aback as they saw the token inhis hand.

"H-how?"

"Who the hell are you? Why do you possess that thing?"

Both the old and young men were astonished and even stuttered.

It was a top killer's token that everyone in their sect was dreaming of having. Once they saw thiskind of token, they had to inevitably listen to the holder's command. This was one of their mostbasic rules.

It all made sense now. Darren was unusually resolute because he knew that once they saw this topkiller's token, they wouldn't be able to go against him.

"Maxwell, we need to cancel our deal..."

the old man suddenly turned and said without thinking twice.

This made Maxwell utterly confused. He wanted to know what was with that blood-red token thatimmediately made them change their mind. They were both powerful warriors at the upper-level ofthe Celestial God Realm, but it was like they were rendered powerless in front of this token.Furthermore, the Blood Abyss Sect was known for executing their orders for the right price. Theywere not the type to cancel a deal that they had already agreed on.

But this time, it was different. They wanted to cancel the deal without any hesitation. They wanted toback out, fully knowing that they would need to give the payment back in double.

"What are you talking about?! How could you break a promise because of some measly token?"Maxwell asked in exasperation. He could not accept such a thing. After all, without them, he wouldnot be able to destroy the array. All his efforts to eliminate Darren and Murphy would be put towaste.

"That's final. If you still want to deal with them, you can go by yourself,” the old man answeredcoldly.

Hearing this, Darren was very satisfied. It was even better than he had expected.

He originally thought that the members of the Blood Abyss Sect might still help Maxwell destroythe array and would just avoid attacking him.

However, it turned out that the old man honored Darren's previous order to fully abandon theircommitment to Maxwell. For now, they could say that they were already safe. They just needed towait for reinforcements in order to fully deal with this matter.

"You useless bunch! I will sue you for breaking your commitment! Can you take responsibility forthat?" Maxwell started to threaten the members of the Blood Abyss Sect in his anger.

"Watch who you're talking to, Maxwell! Say another word and I won't hesitate to crush your head!”the old man snapped back.

"Wait a minute. I don't agree with you either. Since we have already received his killing points, weshould accomplish the mission for him. Did you forget that he paid a billion killing points? That'salready enough for us to exchange for whatever we want. After completing this mission, we caneven retire. You should actually rethink your decision.”

Suddenly, the younger killer who looked very juvenile spoke and contradicted the old man.
