Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 220 The Death Of Another Son Of The Holy Lord

Darren leaped aside as soon as he sensed an overwhelming blade intent rushing toward him. Hehad to avoid the attack at the fastest speed he was capable of as he was no match for a warrior atthe advanced stage of Wonder Realm.

A deafening noise filled the room before it split into halves. If Darren had delayed by even a fractionof a second, he would have been cut into halves by the forceful blade intent as well.

"It's strange! I felt another sword intent here.”

Darren had come to this room as he had sensed a faint sword intent emanating from it. The faintsword intent intensified when the warrior at the advanced stage of Wonder Realm attacked him.Darren released his spiritual sense to search again. Soon, he found a metal box hidden under thefloor clefts. The faint sword intent he had sensed was coming from this box.

Darren darted toward the box and snatched it. Without wasting another minute, he turned andleaped into the pitch dark sky.

"Stop! Running is pointless. I will hunt you and kill you!"

A voice roared behind Darren as another strong blade intent was launched against him.

But Darren summoned his Shadow Lightness and Wind Rule skills to escape the attack. He evenconcealed his aura to avoid being detected by his pursuer.

A short while later, Darren landed somewhere deep in the palace and hid till he felt safe. Afterchecking his surroundings, he opened the metal box he had found in the room. A brilliant smileflashed on his face as soon as he saw its contents

"What a surprise! I've been dreaming of these objects for a long time.”

Darren uttered with excitement when he saw the sword intent fragments in the box. These wouldhelp him to enter the Black Cliff of Sword Intent.

Darren had to visit the Starry Tower before going to the Raksa Sea as he needed Mathew's adviceon how to use the Primitive Stone. He never expected to replace the sword intent fragments that wouldgive him access to the Black Cliff of Sword Intent. This unexpected gift delighted him a lot.

"Wow, it seems that Lady Luck is on my side today," Darren chirped.

Darren lingered in his hiding place a little longer to pack all the fragments perfectly. Then he leapedonto the roof like a phantom. He had come to the Blade Holy Land in search of Elder Thomas. Afterhe achieved his goal, he would go to the Starry Tower.

Darren combed the palace for quite a while. He sensed several sword intents of various levels in thepalace. However, they originated from the dwelling area of disciples from different Holy Lands. Hesensed nothing beyond those places.

"This isn't working. I cannot replace Elder Thomas like this. I have to replace somebody to get someinformation,” murmured Darren in frustration.

Motivated by his new plan, Darren began to look for someone who lived alone and who could offerhim some useful information.

"Dig out his eyes!"

Darren heard a man's voice as he passed a room. Oddly enough, the voice was laced withexcitement even though the command was cruel.

"This is exciting. I like this game! Smash his belly. I want something more dramatic!"

"Wow, his guts are all over the floor. This is disgusting! Can't you show some mercy to this man?You're cruel. But I like it."

These words piqued Darren's curiosity. He launched a small fraction of his blade intent to push openthe door by a crack.

A naked fat man lay comfortably on a luxurious bench in the room. Half-naked sexy beautiessurrounded him. Some fed him fruits, while others massaged him. In the middle of the room,however, a cruel, disgusting duel was taking place.

Over ten strong men were fighting for their lives. Human viscera and limbs lay scattered on thefloor. Darren felt sick when he saw the bloody scene.

"What a freak! And what a monstrous hobby!" Darren cursed under his breath.

"Young Master, you have much better interests than your dead brother. I like them very much.” Amaid by the fat man's side seemed unnaturally composed while saying those words. She must haveseen many fights like this to have grown indifferent.

"I must thank the person who killed my elder brother. He was a threat to me as my father wasbiased toward my brother. But, he was murdered outside the Holy Land. His death has, indeed,offered me many opportunities. Talent in cultivation? That's no better than shit in my eyes. And Idon't have such an ability. My sole talent is to seek physical fulfillment and enjoyment and watchshows like this..." The fat young man said with elation.

The fight lasted for a long time.

"Young Master, I have won the game. I hope you will fulfill your promise and set my sister free." Onefighter stood in the room. Blood oozed from his wounds and slowly dripped to the ground as hepleaded with the fat man. All the other fighters lay on the floor, motionless. He was the onlysurvivor.

"Well done, man. You're cruel. You landed only fatal strikes on your opponents. I always keep myword. Bring his sister here.”

Soon, a girl was carried to the middle of the room. She was naked, and her body was full ofscratches and scars. Dried blood could be seen on every part of her body.

"My sister!” The young man called out loud as he darted toward her. Fury reflected in his expressionwhen he saw her condition. His eyes widened when he touched her body. She was as cold as ice!Indignation coursed through the young warrior when he realized that she had been dead for awhile.

"You bastard!" The man rushed toward the fat man lying on the bench. Rage spewed from everypore in the young warrior's body.

The air stirred in the room.

A light flashed behind the fat man as his guardian launched a fraction of a blade intent against theyoung man. The winner of the fight fell to the floor in pieces.

"It was a privilege for your sister to be fucked by me. You wretched animal!" The fat man spat at thecorpse of the young man and continued, "Bring the fighters for the next show. I want them to bestrong and ruthless.”

Darren felt his blood boil when he witnessed what had happened. This scene reminded him of theyoung Holy Land master he had killed at lImen Sect. He was also a freak who was fond of killinggames.

Suddenly, a noise startled everybody.

Darren couldn't stand to watch another bloody scene. He smashed through the door and leapedinto the room.

Instead of aiming at the fat man lying on the bench, Darren targeted the man behind him.Tremendous blade intent flew rapidly toward a figure hiding there.

In the blink of an eye, the blade intent shredded the concealed young guardian.

Darren was a smart warrior, as he never took action without planning. He had lurked outside longenough to observe the situation in the room. He had spotted the guardian when the young warriorhad rushed to kill the fat man.

"You... Help..." the fat man yelled with fear. However, before he could finish, Darren's blade wasplaced against the man's neck.

"Your body will say goodbye to your head if you speak another word."

The fat man trembled at Darren's words. The maids by his side quivered with fear, as well. They knelton the ground as their bodies were too weak to try and run.

"Please don't kill me, sir. I will give you anything you want!" the fat man begged, pitifully.

"Tell me, what's the name of the elder you have captured? Where is he being held?" Darren askedand reinforced his strength on the blade. A trickle of blood escaped from the tiny gash on the fatman’s neck.

When the fat man felt the piercing pain, he rolled his eyes and slipped to the ground like a rag-doll.He was so frightened that he lost consciousness.

A cold smile flashed on Darren's lips at this funny scene. He raised his blade and cut off one of theman's hands without hesitation.

"Nooo!" Darren placed the bloody hand into the man's mouth as soon as he began to yell.

"Do not try to fool me. Do you think I'll spare you just because you pretended to faint? I'll cut offyour stupid head if you play tricks again!" Darren said, coldly. Menace glinted in his eyes as heglared at the fat man.

"No, no, no. I will not do it again. Please, don't kill me, sir. My father is the Holy Lord. I can give youanything you want. Please show mercy.” The fat man sobbed like a female.

"Enough of your bullshit. Answer my questions.”

"Yes, sir. I'll tell you everything that I know. My father ordered an elder of Blade Holy Land tocapture one of the culprits who had killed my older brother. I heard that the prisoner's surname isGongsun."

'Gongsun? That's exactly Elder Thomas's surname, * Darren thought. "Where is he being detained?"Darren pushed his blade deeper into the fat man's skin.

"He's... in the Black Water Dungeon.”

Darren frowned. As expected, they had indeed captured and imprisoned Elder Thomas. To frightenthe man and verify his information, Darren cut off his other hand. With clenched teeth, Darren said,"This is a warning. If you dare to lie to me, you'll pay gravely for your dishonesty."

Extreme pain brought sweat to the man's forehead. But he did not dare to scream. He nodded hishead in succession as tears rolled down his eyes. His voice trembled as he replied, "I have told youeverything I know, and these are the facts. I didn't lie to you, sir. Please believe me!"

Darren released his Spirit Power to probe the man's mind to check whether he was lying or not.Confident that the man had told him the truth, Darren asked for the location of the Black WaterDungeon.

Since Darren had searched most of the palace previously, he was sure that he would have notrouble replaceing the Black Water Dungeon. After sharing where the dungeon was located, the fatman told Darren that a warrior at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm with excellent martial artsskills guarded it.

"That's good. Tell me everything I need to know," Darren uttered coldly.

"Yes, sir. I'm being honest with you, sir. Please let me go now. Please.” The man begged like a dog.But the fierceness in his eyes revealed his cruel nature.

"Let you go? You're a bastard, just like your dead older brother. An animal without a human side. Doyou think that I will let you go?"

"What? You killed my brother. It was you? Help..." The fat man called for help as soon as heunderstood that he had no chance of survival. A glaring light flashed as Darren swung his bladetoward the man's neck. His head rolled to the ground before he could finish his words.

Darren knocked the maids kneeling on the floor unconscious before he left. None of them wouldwake up for half a month. As for the two maids who had smiled cheerfully while watching thebloody fighting show, Darren killed them without hesitation.

Then, Darren leaped into the sky like lightning.

Now that he knew where Black Water Dungeon was located, there was no need for Darren to wastehis time in this room.
