Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 374 Landon's Strength

Though the day started peacefully and everything appeared normal, a tense atmosphere filled theair. The news of Darren making a scene three days ago had spread throughout the imperial city ofDoriath. People were talking about the incident, and today in the town, many low-level warriorscrowded into the streets to wait. They were anticipating to witness a bloody massacre.

"Look, there is Darren!"

Everyone looked up and saw a figure land from the clouds onto the top of the royal palace as amiddle-aged warrior pointed at Darren's descending figure from the sky.

"Damned emperor, get out of your foxhole!"

Darren yelled, facing the palace where the emperor was lurking.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In a flash, more than thousands of people flew onto the roofs of the palaces. Darren wondered ifthey flew in to stand guard or to have a more unobstructed view of what was about to happen.

A middle-aged man in yellow robe stood proudly and bravely in front of the crowd and facedDarren. Not a trace of fear was betrayed on his face, nor on the aura that exuded out of him.

"Who the hell are you, badass? How dare you threaten to assassinate me? If you would surrender, Iwill let you die with your body intact!" The emperor looked at Darren contemptuously, without fearof the latter.

Darren was a little surprised. Just three days ago, the emperor was scared to death as if seeing aghost. Yet now, he was behaving so arrogant. He must be supported by someone behind, someonewhom he relied so much upon—someone so powerful.

"Hum, very well, how arrogant you are today! But you are about to die.

Tell me! Is killing and enslaving the Chu Clan in Valmar made under your orders?" Darren did notintend to kill him in a rushed manner. Instead, he pronounced his crimes for everyone to know."Yes! What would you do about it? Who do you think you are, brat? Do you want to influence mydecision?

The Chu Clan deceived me, so I can deal with them as I wish. Do you have any questions? Hahaha"The emperor was so confident because of the assurance that Holy Lord Landon promised to backhim up. He knew that Darren was no match for the Holy Lord, and that the boy would sure eat somedust in the hands of Landon. Thus, right at that very moment, not a tinge of fear was traced in hisvoice—he was not afraid of Darren at all.

"How did the Chu Clan deceive you?" Darren said, icily. His brows were joined in a furrow becausehe was confused by the emperor's words.

"Don't talk nonsense! If I say whoever has been guilty of deceiving me, then that is it. I can also killwhomever I do not like. You think you can stop me, huh?" the emperor challenged Darren.

"Well, with that attitude of yours, you are seeking death! Today I am going to cut your head off infront of all the civilians, you asshole!" fed up by the emperor's arrogance, Darren announced beforehe leaped to attack the emperor.

"How dare you! Go ahead, warriors! The one who kills this guy will receive an immense reward fromme," the emperor yelled, and then more than one thousand warriors behind him rushed towardsDarren.

Although Darren did not move that much, the warriors’ bodies directly exploded into a large cloudof blood mist in the blink of an eye. Not even a sweat dropped out of Darren's body. The emperorwas flabbergasted.

"On your knees! Now!" Darren roared, each word sending a chill that pierced through the bones.Sensing such tremendous pressure, fear, and threat, all at the same time, the emperor's leg boneswere crushed. Though his heart and mind protested, his knees disagreed and voluntarily knelt."What about the man behind you? The one whom you relied so much upon? Why doesn't he cometo rescue you?" asked Darren, who looked jokingly at the emperor.

"Save me, Holy Lord!" the emperor shouted desperately at the sky while he was sweating andtrembling like a pig.

Darren just watched him shout and plead, as if a cat was looking for a moribund mouse.

"Keep shouting! Even if God himself comes, he can't save you today, not to mention a Holy Lord!"with a smirk, Darren told the emperor ironically, after the latter had shouted the Holy Lord's namefor more than a hundred times.

"Sir, please forgive me.” The emperor panicked and kowtowed to Darren expectantly, begging formercy. The arrogant behavior he had displayed earlier was totally gone now and was replaced withpathetic pleading for Darren to spare him his life.

"Haha, weren't you very arrogant just now? Weren't you such a powerful emperor that you can killwhoever you did not like? Do you think you still deserve to live, bastard?

It's enough! Your cruelty ends now! Go to hell!"

Swearing that before the emperor's face, Darren fired a trace of sword intent, directly cutting off theemperor's head. The clock seemed to stop ticking, and everyone froze as the emperor's head hit theground, bathed in his blood.

Rumble!

Pretty soon, the wind and clouds were surging rapidly in the sky, flashes of green lightning violentlyshone and illuminated the firmament.

A few figures appeared over the horizon, and all swarmed up to where Darren was standing.

"How dare you slaughter innocent people in this ordinary land, Darren?" The figure of Holy LordLandon loomed in the thick clouds, seeming exceedingly terrible.

"Hum, I already knew you were here! All right then, there is no need to show off. Just come downand fight against me to death!" being challenged by now, Darren roared coldly, standing uprightand looking up at the sky.

"How impudent you are!" Holy Lord Landon yelled—mountains and rivers were shaking at thesound of his voice.

"Ugh, it is so horrible! Run! Everybody run and save your lives," shouted a terrified onlooker.

"Is he a god? A true god?" asked another older man.

While everyone in the southern land saw the influential figure who was wrapped by green lightning,the martial artists in the imperial city were fleeing in fear. Far away from the imperial city, almostninety percent of the civilians in the countries of the southern land knelt down and devoutlykowtowed towards the Holy Lord to pay homage.

"Screw you! Did you kill my father?" Darren's voice was mixed with his blade and sword intent, aswell as with fury that was brewing inside him.

In any low-level martial artist's point of views, he was as powerful as a god. He was so filled withanger that anytime from now, he would burst into a dangerous fighter that could end one's life inan instant.

"Holy Lord, it is enough to let all these mortals know that you come here to put down this devil. Ifyou wait too long, I am afraid the enforcement team of the grand warriors will come here.” Theolder man beside Landon warned the Holy Lord.

"Well, just be patient. I am about to kill him," saying that, Holy Lord Landon directly shot a potentaura towards Darren.

"Hmm?" Darren frowned. He felt that Landon's strength was so strong that he had almost noresistance against it.

Rumble!

A burst of green lightning covered the sky. It flashed towards Darren like many huge dragonsbreathing fire along the way.

Boom!

As a counter-attack, Darren released the olive-black force and the dark gold internal force and thenfled away at his fastest speed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Landon's green lightning and Darren's two powerful forces collided head-on, and then the wholecity was shaken to destruction.

"Holy Lord, please kill that boy instantly, or something will go wrong pretty soon!" The older manwas quite anxious, as he knew that the destruction of the imperial city would certainly soon attractthe enforcement team.

Being reminded, Holy Lord Landon flashed forward to face Darren.

"Do you intend to escape?” he blurted out.

"Shit!" Darren was shocked as he looked at the figure in front of him, who was wrapped by greenlightning. Unexpectedly, Holy Lord Landon showed a mighty aura of strength, nearly comparable tothe creature in black shell that Darren had met in the Devil Den of the Raksa Sea.

"Damn it! He is at least a top three-star grand warrior!" Realizing his opponent's actual skills, Darrenwas extremely shocked. He immediately mobilized the force of control

"Water Kylin, come out!"

Howl!

Howl!

With a mighty howl spreading all over the area, a fearsome black figure showed up. It leaped in thesky and landed beside Darren, causing towers of dust to rise in the air. The howls the beast madeadded a deadly air in the previously catastrophic atmosphere in the area.

Wasting no time, the Water Kylin stretched out one of his front hooves and hit Landon back away."Ah, what a mighty aura! How could this boy summon a legendary beast?" The older man had neverexpected such a situation.

"Well, I can't believe that you have a legendary beast to help you, but you are doomed to die!"After a short while of shock, Landon released a colossal swirl of green lightning, and the great forcenearly made the sky fall apart.

"Oh, my goodness! Master, he is nearly a four-star grand warrior. I am afraid that his strength couldcompare with that of Finley!" The Water Kylin shouted with a trace of nervousness in his voice as hefelt the violent aura of Landon's strength.

Standing behind the Water Kylin, Darren was greatly astonished. He had never expected that theHoly Lord Landon had such mighty strength—it was utterly beyond his imagination.

His existence was unreasonable and not allowed in the four regions. He was really a terrible enemyto be able to have hidden his cultivation base for so long.

"Water Kylin, lure him away to a desolate place. I am going to open up the Ancient Void Battlefieldand ask Finley to deal with him!" Darren instructed the Water Kylin.

"Okay, master, I can resist this guy's power for more than ten days," replied the beast.

With that, the Water Kylin then carried Darren towards the border of the southern land in abottleneck speed.
