Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 333 A Period Of Getting Calmed Down (Part One)

With a heavy head and a broken heart, Darren fleeted away in distress. His entire being, credibilityas a warrior, and loyalty as a lover, all of which sank as if they were flushed into an endless abyss. Hecouldn't help but feel violated and abused in a way.

This whole thing happened completely beyond his expectations. Elsa looked terribly sad when sheflew away after seeing him naked with Hailey. Her woeful yet radiant and innocent face tortured hisheart whenever the thought of her lingered in his mind. The sadness that he was enduring right nowwas immense. But what could he do? He let everything happen because he was given no otheroptions.

As he was determined to dismiss the nightmare off his head, Darren dashed forward like a furiousbell. Since the witcher was dead, the restriction spell over the vast land of wilderness lessened. Thus,the furious warrior had all the freedom to fly at the fastest speed he could. He was able to fly out ofthe area after a couple of deep breaths.

Yet, no matter how fast he went, he flew in the air like a stray bird. He had no idea where he shouldgo. A sense of hollowness had taken control of his heart as well as his mind that he couldn't thinkclearly at the moment.

Suddenly, after a few moments of thinking hard, an idea struck him. "Why can't I go and hide in theAncient Void Battlefield for a while?" thought Darren to himself. Thinking of that as an advantage forhim, he channeled all his strength and initiated his spiritual sense to open the entrance of theAncient Void Battlefield. As for Elsa, Darren knew there was nothing he could do to regain her trust.What he had done to her was unforgivable. The distressed warrior had to wait, and maybe then,time could heal her wounded heart and ease the bad memories away. Then, perhaps, he could replacean opportunity to explain what really happened.

"Aha! Darren, it's you! Why do you come here? Does any danger befall on you in the outsideworld?" asked Finley as he sensed that someone entered the Ancient Void Battlefield. Heimmediately flew to check and was surprised to see that it was Darren.

"No. I just came to have a look here. How was the kid?" asked Darren in a low spirit while looking atFinley.

"Not bad. He is practicing some skills, and destroyed a couple of mountains from time to time,especially when the going got not that smooth. Nothing unusual about him,” said Finley in ameasured tone.

"That's good. Where is the naughty beast?" enquired Darren as the Water Kylin didn't show up. Thatwas strange as the beast always welcomed Darren like a puppy whenever he came here. Themischievous creature did that to make use of every opportunity to ask Darren to take him out to theoutside world for adventures.

"Why not check his whereabouts yourself?" replied Finley with a weird smile on his face. He knewthat Darren would not be pleased to know, thus he did not want to be the one to break the news tohim.

Hearing that, Darren soon understood that the Water Kylin must have made some trouble again. Sohe, as the controller of the Ancient Void Battlefield, initiated the force of control to have a view ofthe whole area of the Ancient Void Battlefield and saw every corner of this field.

To his astonishment, he saw that the Water Kylin was hung upside down on the top of an ancienttree. The major part of his skin was peeled off to reveal the bloody flesh on the lower part of hisbody. Blood dripped down to the ground and dyed it scarlet red. The divine beast looked like a wilddog for sale, the peeling of which had been half done.

"What a bloody punishment, Finley. How could you do such a cruel thing to him?" pressed Darrenas he was not in a good mood. All the while, he thought that the Water Kylin was hiding because hedid something wrong. The unexpected bloody scene of the Water Kylin added to his fury. He couldnot help but scold Finley aloud with anger.

"No, Darren. You cannot blame this on me. I did nothing. I know something in the outside worldmust be troubling you. But you cannot vent your fury on me,” said Finley with an innocentexpression. He didn't deserve to be blamed for something he had not done.

"Then who would do this to the beast except for you and the kid? He's almost dying!" The woundson the Water Kylin were so horrible that Darren felt the creeps on his skin just by watching them."No, Darren. In addition to the kid and me, there is another one who can also inflict such harm andeven kill the beast,” spoke Finley to Darren with a meaningful smile while looking at the latter with amischievous expression.

"Stop talking nonsense to me, Finley. Tell me what all this is about!" roared Darren. He had grownout of patience. He did not fancy being played around by Finley. Especially now that he was not in agood mood.

"Alas! You got pissed off, Darren? Okay, okay. I tell you. The one that I am talking about that canharm the Water Kylin is, of course, himself. The naughty beast got a whim one day. He said he'sgoing to take a fundamental change both within and without. So he tore his skin apart,” said Finleywith an exaggerated gesture as he could not help himself from laughing for such a ridiculous idea."What? Why would he do that?" Unable to believe what he had heard, Darren rolled his eyes uponhearing Finley's words. He then sank into silence and headed toward a direction aimlessly. He didn'tknow where he would go. He just wanted to walk away and have some time alone.

"Darren? What's the matter with you? You seem so weird today, like a ghost without soul!" shoutedout Finley as he saw Darren scamper away. Yet, his smile froze on his face as soon as he realized thathe was the only one laughing. Darren seemed to feel nothing about the Water Kylin's absurd idea.He looked at Darren's back in embarrassment and mumbled with confusion.

Being left alone, Finley wandered. He had met a bottleneck on his way to work out his cultivationbase, so he could do nothing to improve his martial skills any further. Since the dying Water Kylinneeded some time to recover, he had no one in his company. Finley felt extremely bored. Hepondered for a moment and decided not to bother Darren at this moment. So he leaped towardanother direction. The next moment, he found himself standing in front of the Water Kylin. Lookingat the stupid beast covered in blood, Finley could not help but burst into a wild fit of laughter."Stop laughing at me, you idiot! I'll smash your face and tear apart your lips after I finish this processof transformation ten years later!" arrogantly shouted the Water Kylin in spite of being physicallyweak at the moment.

"Smash my face and tear apart my lips? Just look at yourself, dude! Be gentle to me, or I'll slap youwithout mercy!" Saying that, Finley disappeared for a while. When he reappeared, with him was ahandful of fine white sands cupped in his hands.

"Do you know what this is, dude? These fine grains are sea salt left in the Dead Sea from the LastAge. It will bring you a fantastic scorching feeling when I sprinkle them on your flesh. I think it ismuch more unbearable than the most advanced Flame Intent. What about have a try of it, dude?"Though he was still suggesting it, Finley already sprinkled the salt on the Water Kylin's bare fleshbefore he had an opportunity to reject. In response, the Water Kylin's flesh hissed immediately asthe salt fell on it.
