Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 1334 Struck Dead

"Let go of my son, cowards!"

Leroy glared at Darren and roared like a beast, madly furious about the situation.

"Are you taking me for an idiot? Why would I do that?" Darren answered with a cold expression inhis eyes.

"Think about your actions, you brat. I can kill you easily before you can do anything to my son,"Leroy threatened through gritted teeth.

"What a bluff! You might be able to kill me with a single palm strike, but before you do, your son'sheart and brain will explode right before your eyes first! Try it if you dare! What's more important toyou, my life, or your son's?"

Leroy wasn't able to utter a word. He was so infuriated that he felt like his heart was going to burstany minute.

Dario was his only son and the apple of his eye. He would do anything for him, even to the point ofoffending the Tussle Holy House just to save him.

If there was one thing he couldn't bear, it was his son's death.

Swoosh!

Desperate enough, he dashed towards Weber and tried to turn him into his own hostage to haveleverage against Darren.

However, Darren had already thought that he might do this, so he warned Weber beforehand.Weber had been on guard all the time and stayed close to Darren.

"That's as far as you can go!"

Weber suddenly bent down and held Dario’s family jewels in his hand.

"One wrong move and I'll make sure that he will be the last of your family line!"

Dario's face quickly turned pale because of the pain. "Father! Please don't move. He's serious. I'm ina lot of pain!"

Weber began pressing hard and Dario felt that his testicles were about to be crushed.

"Stop it! What do you want?" Leroy had no choice but to back off.

"Seriously? You don't know what I want?" Darren sneered.

"Fine! I'll let you leave alive, but you have to let go of my son first." Leroy tried his best to look calmand convincing.

"Then what? You'll kill us afterward? Stop pretending to be someone that upholds his promise!"Weber shouted in annoyance. He was so sure that if they released Dario first, Leroy wouldn'thesitate to kill both of them right after.

"This is how it will go. You will get out of the hunting land first. A month later, you will see your soncome out of here alive," Darren declared his condition.

"What? No way!" Leroy objected right away.

"Oh well, then you leave us with no choice. If you're so determined to kill us, then we'll take yourson with us to hell!" Darren shouted firmly and began to tighten his grip on Dario.

"Argh!" Dario cried out in extreme pain. Tears were welling up his eyes and his face becamedistorted.

Leroy started panicking. He was in the middle of a huge crisis and was struggling to make adecision.

He was also sure that even if he followed their demands, they still wouldn't let go of his son.However, if he didn't leave, they were prepared to take his son's life at the cost of theirs.

As much as possible, he wanted to keep his son safe.

However, a thought suddenly entered his mind. "Dario, I'm sorry..." Leroy said with a tremblingvoice as he burst into tears.

"Father, what are you saying? They said that they would let me go. Hurry up and leave!" Dario'sheart pounded hard. He didn't understand why his father would suddenly apologize to him at thismoment.

"I'll do my best to compensate for everything in the next life,”

Leroy said as he continued sobbing.

It seemed like he had made up his mind.

Leroy predicted that his son would have no chance of surviving whatever choice he picked. Even ifhe retreated and let them go, the powerful figure behind Weber was not someone he could affordto offend.

Thus, if they survived, he thought that not only would his son die for nothing, but his sect wouldalso be destroyed

Pondering on these thoughts, he had finally come up with his decision. He chose to endure the painof losing his son just to eliminate Darren and Weber.

"Father, what are you talking about? You're scaring me!" Dario's voice became broken. It was as if hewas in denial, though he knew exactly what his father meant. His heart ached more than the physicalpain that his body was experiencing.

"Dario, listen to me. I have no choice. If we let these two live, all the members of our sect mightperish!" Leroy tried to explain himself.

"W-what? You would choose my death to save other people?” Dario couldn't believe what he washearing.

Leroy didn’t respond and just closed his eyes.

Upon witnessing this scene, Darren and Weber also became frantic. They couldn't determine if theold man was just acting or if he really chose to sacrifice his son's life.

"Darren, what should we do now? I don't think he's bluffing anymore,” Weber said through hisspiritual sense.

"Yeah, I think so too. What else can we do? We can only die together here,” Darren said as if he hadalso resigned. He didn't know what to do either.

"So, that's it..." Weber let out a deep sigh.

"Why? Are you afraid of death?" Darren asked with a bitter smile.

"What? Of course not. I just didn't expect to die this way. I don't think it was worthy to die justbecause of this guy,” Weber replied in a disappointed tone.

"Dario, forgive me. I'll be sure to take good care of you in the next life.”

All of a sudden, Leroy opened his eyes, revealing a burning determination to kill. Then, he instantlystretched his palm and rushed towards Darren.

"Damn! The old bastard has already taken action!" Weber was still in disbelief that Leroy was aboutto abandon his son's life just to kill them

"Ha-hal! Father, I swear that I will kill you in the afterlife!" Dario let out a devilish laugh as if he hadalready gone insane.

"Stop!"

Right before Leroy could approach Darren and Weber, a stream of majestic god's power emergedand shoved Leroy aside.

"What the hell?"

Then, Leroy recognized that a middle-aged man and a young man suddenly appeared in theirmidst.

"You insolent bastard! How dare you try to kill people in the hunting land?"

The people who arrived were Gatlin Qin, the master of the branch of the Tussle Holy House and hisson, Harold Qin.

"Master Gatlin?" Leroy shot a cold glance at him, a bit surprised by his sudden arrival.

"I'm glad you know who I am. Now scram!" Gatlin shouted in an intimidating voice.

"Humph! These two brats wanted to kill my son and I'm just acting to prevent it from happening. Ididn't do anything wrong! Why are you interfering?" Leroy blatantly lied to his face.

"Nonsense! Everyone who enters the hunting land has to leave their lives to fate. It's a rule thateveryone knows! Moreover, you're a warrior at the Celestial God Realm, yet you attack theparticipants of the test publicly! Are you not ashamed? You have deliberately violated the law andyour actions are punishable by death! You're fortunate that you haven't caused any casualty yet.Considering that you only did it to protect your son, I will let this go. Now leave with your son,”Gatlin declared.

Leroy's face darkened as he gritted his teeth in anger. His whole being was insulted and his heartfelt like it was being repeatedly stabbed with knives.

However, Gatlin was the master of the branch of the Tussle Holy House, thus, considering hisstrength, it wouldn't be wise to pick a fight with him.

"Fine. Ask them to let my son go and I won't bother them anymore.” Leroy had no choice but tosettle with the compromise.

"Young man, let go of his son,” Gatlin quickly told Darren.

"Will you guarantee our safety if we let him go?" Darren asked to make sure.

"Yes, of course. The moment he dares to mess around, three warriors at the top level of the CelestialGod Realm will immediately smash him to pieces.” Gatlin intentionally said it in a loud voice so thatLeroy could clearly hear it. However, the truth was except for him and his son, no one else hadcome. He just said that in order to frighten Leroy.

"All right. Since you're from the Tussle Holy House, I'll believe you

Weber, let go of him!"

With that, Darren and Weber loosened their grip at the same time and pushed Dario forward"Dario, come on. Let's go." Leroy quickly approached his son and grabbed him by his hands.Thinking back at the decision he just made, he couldn't help but frown and regret it with all hisheart.

"Father, did you really want me to die just now?" Dario's voice came out soft and emotionless.

"No, of course not! I only said that to frighten them. Why would I ever want you to die?" Leroy triedto speak with a straight face while his heart was being crushed.

TSE.

Whoosh!

Without any warning, a dagger glittered with cold light pierced into Leroy’s chest.

"How dare you lie to my face?! You don't deserve to be my father!" Dario roared ferociously whilegripping the dagger tightly in his hands.

"Oh shit!" Weber was dumbfounded at this sight. "What did just happen?"

"Dario! Why you little..."

Leroy couldn't believe that his beloved son had just drilled a dagger into his chest without anyhesitation.

However, as a warrior at the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm, he wouldn't die just frombeing stabbed in his heart.

"Young man, don't you think you've gone too far? He is still your father. Why would you try to killhim?"

At this moment, Gatlin quickly flew over intending to pull Dario away from his father.

"Stay away! It's none of your business!" Dario roared. It seemed that he had lost all his logic.Nothing was left in him but hatred. His face contorted and let out a savage expression.

"Stop it! Don't be stupid.”

As soon as Gatlin finished speaking, he gathered his strength and stretched out his palm.

Boom! However, no one expected what happened next. Leroy didn't even have time to react beforehis head was instantly blown up. In the blink of an eye, he was struck dead

"What?!"

Darren and Weber both exclaimed as their mouths were left wide open. Even Harold was takenaback at what he saw.
