Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 1471 Killing Them All

Grady was not some nobody. It didn't matter what his relationship with Seth was; the one who killedhim was in deep trouble.

Unfortunately for Todd, a powerful warrior working for the West King had him framed by makinguse of his sword intent to kill the frenzied Grady. In this way, when Seth investigated the case ofGrady's death later on, he would definitely investigate Todd.

This infuriated Todd so much that he felt like his eyes were going to pop out of his skull. Undernormal circumstances, he wouldn't be so afraid to be attacked by a king. But since he was beingframed, he felt blatantly wronged. It was only natural that he responded in anger.

"How dare you frame me? You must be courting death!" Todd said to the man who killed Gradythrough gritted teeth.

"What are you talking about? You killed Grady right in front of all of us. How could you blame mefor something you did?" The man smiled in a sinister fashion, his eyes flashing mischievously."That's right. You are so cruel and merciless, Todd! How dare you kill Seth's sworn brother!"

"You'd better prepare yourself for the wrath of Seth.” The man's smile widened. "However, if youhand over the brat, I might be willing to stab Grady's corpse with my sword. Do you catch my drift?"The man's message was clear. If Todd gave up Darren, then he would take half of the responsibilityof Grady's death. Together, they'd face the wrath of Seth.

Although these three men were all powerful warriors, they frankly weren't strong enough tocontend with Todd.

After all, Todd was known as the God of Sword. And his strength was close to that of the Five Kings.He didn't fight that often, but no one doubted his capability in combat.

The three men all knew that Juan was a weak-minded man and would avoid war at all costs.Therefore, it was only under the instructions of their respective kings that they dared make troublefor Todd. They all believed that Todd would not try to kill them.

As for why those kings didn't do it themselves, that was because never in their wildest dreamswould they dare! They all feared each other. The moment they walked out of their territory andconfronted another king, all hell would break lose until either party died.

Therefore, the kings seldom did things personally. Instead, they usually ordered their competentsubordinates to do their biddings.

Hence, despite the importance of capturing Darren, none of the kings had come in person.

Then, it dawned on Todd what these men were up to. Sighing heavily, he willed himself to calmdown before saying anything.

"Fine, take the boy," Todd said coldly. Then, after a deafening pause, he continued, "But only if youlive to take him."

Whoosh!

His sword intent surged so suddenly that it seemed the whole world was on the verge of collapseunder its power.

Todd's power was comparable to that of Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng. Few known members ofthe human race could reach such a terrifying level.

"What are you going to do? Attack us?"

"Todd, don't be silly!" One of the men gulped nervously. "If you dare kill me, the East King will neverlet this go!”

All of a sudden, the three men were no longer gloating. Instead, fear seized them completely, asthey felt the killing intent emanating from every fiber of Todd's being.

"I'm a man of action. Once I've made up my mind, no one can stop me.

I'm not afraid of even the ancestor, let alone you!" Todd said in a thunderous voice.

"My sword, please conquer the world,"

he then chanted under his breath, clutching the sword with both hands. In one smooth movement,he slashed forward.

In the blink of an eye, the divine sword grew tenfold and seemed to slice the very universe in half."Ah! Todd is insane!"

“Run!”

the three deputy gods cried in complete panic. They were all keenly aware that Todd only made onemove in battle. One sword strike would determine whether they would live or die.

Even any one of the Five Kings would hate to face Todd's one sword strike, let alone these three newdeputy gods.

Boom!

The earth was split open, its jagged crevices crumbling. The three men who were trying to flee fortheir lives felt despair as they realized something: Todd's attack was not just one sword strike.Instead, it was clearly a combination of millions of sword strikes that blocked all of their routes ofretreat.

"No!"

the three deputy gods screamed desperately as they were crushed to smithereens

Todd had managed to kill all three of them with only one move.

Darren was absolutely dumfounded. He had never thought Todd would kill them without hesitating,at the very least.

However, Darren shook his head to regain his senses. Seeing that the three men were already dead,Darren couldn't allow himself to give this opportunity up. Using his assimilating skill and evolvingskill, he made use of the fresh resources before him. Masses of light flew into his mind, one afteranother.

After all, absorbing the talent and Evolution Forces of deputy gods was the only way he couldimprove his strength at the current stage.

It didn't take long for Darren to absorb the talent into the black void in his mind. He smiled as hetangibly felt the Evolution Force further improved his physical fitness. Furthermore, the defensivepower of his body was estimated to have reached the low-level of the Superior God Realm.

"Let's go,"

Todd said calmly, as though nothing had happened. Without another word, they flew to thetransmission array leading to the edge of the Five Dangerous Areas.

Not a single word was uttered the entire way.

Finally, Todd cleared his throat. "Don’t you wonder why I killed them all?"

Darren smiled. "Sir, you made your decision. Why should I ask?"

"Ha-ha, you brat!" Todd burst into hearty laughter. "I appreciate your disposition. But anyway, I willbe in big trouble soon. I hope I can keep Juan out of it."

This was indeed a big problem. If the other four kings used this as an excuse to forcefully attackJuan, a fierce war would definitely break out.

"I'm sorry, sir. None of this would've happened if it weren't for me..." Darren smiled bitterly. If hehadn't asked Todd to escort him, he could've kept Todd out of trouble.

"Don't say that. They had it coming. What's more, you, the Territory Enfeoffing Emperor, havealready entered the Chaotic Region. Even if Juan and I want peace, war is what's coming to theChaotic Region,” Todd said quietly. Then, he sped up.

Flying close at his heels, Darren shook his head wistfully. What Todd said was true. Since he hadcome, the war in the Chaotic Region was bound to break out sooner or later.

Outside the First Dangerous Area, Darren and Todd landed.

"Sir, are you going in with me?" Darren asked.

"No," Todd answered. "I will be suppressed by the blood pass if I go in." The powerful warriors in theChaotic Region all knew of this law.

"Don't worry. The blood pass has been broken,” Darren reminded Todd calmly. "Otherwise, Iwouldn't have been chased by the mysterious gray man back then.”

"You're right! Sorry, I was confused. Let's go. I also want to see the Five Dangerous Areas."

The two then stepped foot onto the First Dangerous Area through a whirlpool.

They found that the mysterious underground space was in ruins, devastated by countless wars.Not keen to waste any time, Darren instantly activated his god's sense to search for the aura of theRule Soul Avatar.

But unfortunately, he soon found out that there was no aura of life here. This made him uneasy.'Did the Rule Soul Avatar encounter any misfortune?’ he thought to himself anxiously.

"Sir, please help me replace out if there is anyone alive here.” Since Darren couldn't detect the aura ofthe Rule Soul Avatar by himself, he had no choice but to ask Todd for help.

Todd activated his powerful god's sense, which could only cover a million kilometer radius around inthe First Dangerous Area. He too could not detect the aura of life.

Then, Darren and Todd decided to fly around quickly, searching for signs of life.

After a few days, the two of them had covered much ground in the First Dangerous Area. Yet, theystill didn't replace any aura of life.

"It seems that your avatar is very likely to have been destroyed... Don't be sad. It's just an avatar. Youcan refine another one, if that is indeed the case,” Todd said in a light tone, in a measly attempt tocomfort him.

Darren's eyes turned red. "Sir, you don't understand. Our relationship is not what it looks like. Thetruth is, he is even closer than a brother."
