Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 20 Destructive Sword Attack

At this very moment, Nicholas and the others were reminded of the death of Bob, the butler of theChu Clan. When they arrived at Darren's courtyard that day, Bob had already been dead. Evan andthe servants claimed that it was Darren who killed him.

Bob was an experienced cultivator, although he was not a talented one. But Darren could kill such astrong cultivator, which was hard evidence of his powerful cultivation base.

When Nicholas thought of that, he swallowed in fear. The teenager in front of him had changed.Darren was not the former loser that everyone had thought him to be. Nicholas now felt like prey atthe mercy of his predator.

"Darren, you'd better keep your word. You said that you would challenge all three of us. Don'tchange your mind now!"

Nicholas walked forward and exchanged glances with the other two. He wanted to ensure that theywould fight with him.

In the next instant, their vital energies surged, ready to work together. All three people targetedtheir killing intent at Darren.

"Shame on you! You three are shameless! How can you work together to fight against one? It's sounfair for Mr. Darren!"

"Boo! The three so-called geniuses of our Chu Clan. Shame on you! Only Mr. Darren is our family'strue genius, the top talent.”

Many of the members of the Chu Clan scorned Nicholas and the other two.

Darren, who had been standing with his hands crossed behind his back, said, "And I also rememberthat someone claimed to be able to defeat me with only one attack. Otherwise, he will eat shit. Well,it's time for him to fulfill his promise.”

Leo's face darkened when he heard Darren. He felt so embarrassed that he wished the earth wouldopen and swallow him.

"It's all bullshit! Winner takes all! Nicholas, let's go!" Leo let go of his pride and dignity. DefeatingDarren was the only thing on his mind.

Leo rushed forward again and stretched his fists. His strong fists moved like lightning as they dartedthrough the sky and headed straight for Darren.

Darren, however, stayed motionless. As a cultivator with the talent at level one of the Black Degree,his senses were much acuter than that of inferior cultivators. He could clearly see Leo's movements.“Well, his right fist is a distraction. But his left fist is aimed at my throat. Nice try, Leo!" Darren knewLeo's every move, including the flaws in his martial arts skill, of course.

"Big deal.”

Darren aimed a kick at Leo and successfully defended against his attack. Simultaneously, Darrenlaunched a strike with his right hand, which was aimed at Leo's right shoulder.

"Bang!"

The sound of the fighting echoed in the air. Leo retreated a few meters after Darren's attack, and hisface went deathly pale.

When Leo's father saw this scene, his face turned grim. He could not believe that Darren hadtriumphed over his son with only one attack.

The Elders were awestruck to see that as well. They found it hard to believe that Darren's cultivationbase was at the peak of the eighth stage of the Primary Realm. Obviously, he was an invinciblecultivator among the ones at the eighth stage.

But martial arts skill was also a vital part of someone's cultivation base

So, Nicholas and Blake summoned the top martial arts skills they had learned at once beforerushing toward Darren.

A sneer cracked Darren's lips. In the Barren Wasteland, he had killed Marvin single-handedly.Marvin, the bloodthirsty and murderous hustler, was more experienced at fighting than Nicholasand Blake.

Darren remained unshakable now that he was facing their attacks. In a split second, he delivered hisattacks on his enemies.

The three men burst into an intensive fight, and the strong force between them compelled theaudience around them to step back.

"Oh my! Mr. Darren is freakishly strong! He has a big advantage over them, even though hisopponents are working together.”

Leo, after a break, joined Nicholas and Blake as well.

Darren felt a little challenged now that he was fighting the three together, especially Nicholas as hiscultivation base was much higher than the other two.

Their vital energy, targeting Darren, burst out at the same time. The force of the impact between thethree and Darren was so tremendous that it compelled both sides to step back.

"This bastard is fucking strong!"

Nicholas, Blake, and Leo were stunned by Darren's cultivation base. None of them could believe thateven though they had worked together against Darren, the fight ended in a tie. That washumiliating for them.

"All right! We have the winner now! The game is over," said the guard of the Martial Skill Library,who had observed the fight for a while.

"What? Is the game over? So who's the winner?"

"They are all at the eighth stage of the Primary Realm. Darren fought against three people alone,but the match ended in a draw. It is obvious who the winner is," said the guard of the Martial SkillLibrary, airily.

"What? He wins? No! We can't accept such a result!” None of the three were convinced by the elder.They planned to consume Darren's energy in further rounds. One thing would have led to another,and they would have gained an advantage over Darren in terms of vital energy eventually. Then,they would only need one strike to defeat Darren.

The guard of the Martial Skill Library, knew what they had planned, which was why he had come tostop the fight.

Then the elder walked toward Darren and whispered to him, "Go now, kid! You need to rest. Don'tlet them bother you."

After Darren thanked the elder, he turned to Nicholas and the other two and said, "Since you can'taccept such a result, my fist will discuss this issue with you. I will deal with all three of you, once andfor all, until you all admit defeat. Come on, three assholes! All together!"

What an arrogant declaration!

Nicholas and the other two were thrilled to hear that Darren wanted to continue the fight, but hiswords infuriated them to the core.

"Once and for all? All three? Mr. Darren overestimates his abilities this time."

"That's hard to say. Mr. Darren has made lots of things possible. Didn't you notice that? Everythinghe has said today has come true in the end.”

"Yeah! I agree with you. Mr. Darren has been hiding his true strength for unknown reasons. He's areal master, a supreme master. Way to go, Mr. Darren!"

Nicholas, Blake, and Leo activated their vital energy at the same time. Nicholas clenched his teethand yelled, "Well, it's time to show you the power of our martial arts skills.”

"Burst Punch Attack!"

That was the martial arts skill Nicholas was proud of the most, for he had mastered this top martialskill.

Blake took a saber from the training ground and yelled, "Mighty Blade Attack!"

That was also a top martial arts skill. Although Blake had not mastered it, he was close to the perfectstage.

"Indestructible Golden Dome!" Leo shouted. The Indestructible Golden Dome was one of the topdefensive methods. When Leo summoned the skill, a light golden dome appeared around him."Nicholas, Blake, I will go first. My dome will shield us from his attacks. Then you two should strikehim."

They planned to use Leo's Indestructible Golden Dome as their shield so that Nicholas and Blakecould safely launch their top martial arts skills at Darren. They were highly confident that they woulddefeat Darren with this plan.

The three, aiming at Darren, leaped into the air like shooting arrows.

When they activated their martial arts skills, the people around them also felt the power and foundit hard to breathe under the pressure.

Instantly, clouds rolled in the clear sky. The weather had changed because of the intensity of thefight between the two sides!

Darren frowned. Then a sword, carrying an icy aura, appeared in Darren's hand.

When the guard of the Martial Skill Library saw the sword, he knew how this fight would end.

"I have forgotten that he has mastered the Profound Nine Sword Skills."

Abner, who had been watching from a distance, had already witnessed the power of Darren's swordskills. He still remembered how Darren's attack had numbed his hand earlier, as he hadunderestimated Darren and his sword then. The power of his sword was impressive.

Reed and Mark, however, looked confident. They had taught their sons every move of the martialarts skills, and Leo and Blake had practiced those for years. They thought it would be as easy asblinking an eye for their sons to defeat Darren.

"What do you think of this?" the Third Elder asked the Chief Elder.

"It's so obvious. Of course, Darren will not win. You can assist him when he is about to lose thegame. If the other factions have a problem with this, I will appease them. I believe Darren will stopcomplaining about the Chu Clan when we have helped him," the Chief Elder said confidently.

After all, Darren was only a teenager. It was easy to persuade him.

"I don't think so. Darren will definitely win this game,” Abner, the Second Elder said. When the ThirdElder heard this, he shot a disdainful look at Abner.

"What's wrong with you, Abner? I know he has learned some top martial arts skills, but he is fightingagainst the three geniuses of our family. How's it even possible for him to win the game?” said theThird Elder, confidently.

The three opponents shot toward Darren simultaneously. Their movements summoned a strongwind, and the leaves on the ground whirled in the air.

Although the roiling cloud had covered the sun, several sword-lights cut through the dark sky.Darren closed his eyes as he activated his vital energy. All of a sudden, he opened his eyes, and raysof light sparkled in his eyes.

"Destructive Sword Attack!"

The guard of the Martial Skill Library, nodded with satisfaction. He commented, "Way to go, kid!Your grasp of the first move is as good as mine."

Nicholas, Blake, and Leo were highly confident about themselves. It seemed that they couldn'timagine a scenario other than Darren being defeated by them.

"Go to hell!"

Leo was the first to receive Darren's sword attack. "This is the Indestructible Golden Dome. Nothingcan break it. Not even your damn sword."

But what happened next proved that Leo was wrong about this.

"How's this even possible! No fucking way! No! No! My dome! Ah!"

Darren's sword attack cut open Leo's defensive dome as easily as a knife through tofu. And in aflash, Leo received hundreds of injuries from Darren's sword attack.

Meanwhile, the attacks from Nicholas and Blake were inching closer to Darren.

"Damn it! We have lost our defense!"

Nicholas and Blake were dumbstruck with amazement. However, they had no choice now, but tocontinue their attacks.

"Boom!"

The whole Chu Clan mansion shook. Their fight left numerous punch forces, blade-silhouettes, andsword-lights around the air, which injured many people present. Everyone in the audience hadwitnessed the mighty power of both sides.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Nicholas and Blake were thrown into the air. Serious injuries covered their bodies.

The cultivators of the Spirit Realm reacted quickly by leaping into the air and catching them beforethey fell to the ground.

"Nicholas, are you all right?"

"How do you feel, Blake?"

"Wake up! Leo!"

The three so-called geniuses passed out when Darren attacked them. All the witnesses, however,were astonished.

Moments after the fight ended, thunderous applause burst out from the audience. Those youngdisciples were too shocked to speak. They had just witnessed a miracle, a legend.

What a powerful sword attack! The sword light of the Destructive Sword Attack stunned everyone tothe core.0O0
