Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 339 Making New Friends (Part One)

"What the hell! What is that force?" hollered the spectators in chorus as they observed the ragingfight on the sideline.

They backed off hurriedly to keep a larger distance with the two men in the middle of the fight. Thedark gold internal force frightened them to their cores.

Shane seemed to have significantly lost his strength to ward off. In face of the dark gold internalforce darting at him at a fleeting speed, he stood there motionlessly, as he could do nothing but towatch and wait for his doom. At this critical moment, he felt the call of the God of Death.

This terrifying scene could drive fear into anyone's heart.

Shane was shocked at Darren's capabilities. It seemed that he had underestimated him as he did notexpect that Darren would be able to use such a great force at the very beginning of the fight.According to his estimations, he would be defeated within just an hour even if he fought back withall the might he had had in his prime. In face of such a dreadful force, Shane did not dare to fightback directly. He focused on the defense, and kept dodging aside to escape the fatal force andsought opportunities to attack whenever it was possible.

I'm a loser. There is not the smallest chance for me to win him.

He's just playing games with me. How ridiculous!

Shane thought, as the feeling of bitterness surged into his heart. In the heat of the moment, herealized he was much inferior than his powerful opponent.

At last, Shane could not help but resist automatically with the primitive instinct of survival,regardless of all the fighting skills and techniques. The threat of death had settled in him, and neverdeparted him during all the time.

"Boom!" A huge noise resonated.

Darren swiftly leaped forward toward his enemy at a lightning speed, and launched another attackof the dark gold internal force at his flank. The new force overtook the former one and collided withit before it hit Shane.

The dreadful dark gold force was enforced to unite with another before it could reach Shane.Meanwhile, a shadow with lightning speed pounced on Shane and rapidly pulled him away out ofthe attacking range of the force. Shane had successfully escaped from the threat of the God ofDeath.

The sudden change dumbstruck Shane. He had no idea what had happened until he realized amoment later that it was Darren who had saved him. He then turned towards Darren gratefully andbowed with sincere respect, "You spared my life. Thank you."

"I spared your life only for this time. If you still keep these bad habits of bullying and robbingothers, I will kill you without mercy!" Darren exclaimed, his whole demeanor turning dark and coldas he regarded him.

"What do you mean? Bullying and robbing others? I admit that you're a capable warrior and there isno way for me to defeat you. But you cannot insult me! I'm a warrior, not a scoundrel or a robber. Ihave never done the things you mentioned, nor will I do them in the future!" Shane roaredindignantly, his facial expression shifting to a disgusted look.

"You haven't done them before?” asked Darren in a confused tone. "Do you remember the disciplefrom the Heavenly Palace Sect? You took a valuable thing from him with force, and kidnapped oneof his friends. And then, you harshly tortured him into sharing some private and valuableinformation with you, right? Are you really going to pretend to be clueless and say you knownothing about all this?" Darren continued, his lips setting into a deep frown.

"I understand. That little bastard framed me up. He stole things from me, but I forgave him and lethim go. I didn't kill him because I'm not a ruthless killer. Gosh, I should have killed this cunningman," explained Shane angrily. He tightly clenched his fist and his eyebrows furrowed when herealized what had happened.

Shane sounded so earnest and serious that Darren didn't think he was making up stories. Besides,he looked like a righteous guy in every respect. As Darren studied him, he began to believe that hewas not the type to bully others. Thus, he was puzzled and wondered whether he was deceived bythe disciple of the Heavenly Palace Sect.

"Even if you're speaking the truth, your underlings are indeed villains. They bullied people as muchas they like. Is that how you train them?" Darren asked as he recalled those evil disciples of theMartial Holy Land.

"My underlings? Who on earth are my underlings? Do you mean those disciples of the Martial HolyLand? They just carry out some missions I publish in the Holy Land, and I pay them a great sum ofmoney as returns. There is nothing between us more than that. As for how they conduct themissions, it's none of my business!” Shane explained patiently his lack of participation in their evildoings.

Darren turned silent upon hearing Shane's explanation. He put his hand on his chin as he engagedinto a deep thought.

At that very moment, a shadow fleeted towards them like lightning. From a distance, they could seethat he was carrying a badly wounded person in his arms.

"Mr. Chu, please forgive me!"

It was the disciple of the Heavenly Palace Sect who had been bullied the other day. He knelt beforeDarren as soon as he approached him.

"What's the matter?” Darren asked, his eyebrows furrowed and his lips turning into a frown. He hada bad premonition

"He is a real bastard. I took him as my friend, but he lied to me. He stole things from others!" thedisciple of the Heavenly Palace Sect. said, his voice filled with wrath. He then turned to give the thiefa slap to his face.

"That's it. I understand.” Darren's eyes shifted as he came to realize the truth about the whole thing."Those disciples of the Martial Holy Land bullied and insulted on the strength of their closeconnections with the so-called Shane. I will not let go of this matter easily. Justice must be done!They must pay for their insults!" the young man said in indignation, as he looked terrifyinglyenraged.

"Now I am aware of this whole thing very clearly. It was not your fault. You can leave now." Darrensignaled at the young man to let him go.

The young man repeatedly expressed his apologies before leaving with the man he had broughtwith him

"Well, I think there is a misunderstanding between us, dude!" Darren said to Shane while cuppinghis hands apologetically. There was a friendly smile hanging on his face.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, you're not to be blamed for it. I don't think it is a bad thing, however,as it has brought us to meet here. I admire your martial talent and temperament very much. Whynot we make friends to each other?” Shane replied. He then stretched out his hand towards Darrenand gave him a reassuring smile.

Darren swiftly stretched out his hand and shook Shane's hand, "You're a capable warrior as well. I'mhonored to be your friend!"

"You're too modest, man. You're excellent, much more capable than me. Let's go to have somedrink. My treat!" Shane beamed with a brilliant smile on his face, putting their earlier dispute behindtheir backs.
