Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 399 Fury (Part One)

As clearly explained before the competition commenced, the rule was to fight one on one, then thewinner could fight another warrior in another round. Ironically, the attack towards Darren made bythe woodcutter-looking man without even a warning was breaking the rule.

Though he didn't know why the woodcutter-looking man chose to break the rule and blow such asurprise attack on Darren, the young warrior couldn't help but get furious at his action. In responseto that unwanted act, Darren's blade and sword intent burst out immediately.

Everyone in the arena got surprised and awestruck when they felt the sharp blade and sword intentof Darren. It was the first time that they had felt such an unusually potent force, some even thoughtthat the intent might be from out of this world.

Both the warriors and the common people who were at the arena were aware of what cultivatingthe blade and the sword at the same time meant. From the limited knowledge they had, what theyknew was, when choosing to cultivate both the blade and the sword at the same time was equal tolooking for one’s death. Nobody had dared to do such thing as far as everyone knew in fear oflosing their lives. But now, right there and then, laid before the very front of their eyes, they couldsee as bright as the cloudless skies, that the young man was unharmed and alive. Aside from that,he was also powerful and influential. One could call this a miracle—a one in a million instances."Haha." The young martial artist whose name was Abelard laughed, then he withdrew his axe beforeturning back and hid amongst the clouds. As he was completely hidden, he let out a chuckletowards Darren, saying, "Don't be so serious, man! I am just messing with you, seeing that you woneven faster than me!"

While saying that, Abelard had an annoying smile on his face, acting like what he did was not a bigdeal at all.

Only by then did Darren realize that he had let out his blade and sword intent without a secondthought, just because he was angry. He thought it would be all right for others to know about hisskills, but unfortunately, Hailey was also here. After that powerful blow, she must have felt it by now.That meant Darren's world narrowed a little, and he got a hold of feeling a little awkward now.

Just as Darren expected, Hailey, who had been looking for him indifferently, immediately flew tostand in the middle of the fighting stage. Her reckless action made the warriors and spectators alikefroze in an instant.

At the same time, everyone who was watching the scene on the stage opened their mouths in awe.Seeing Hailey's radiant and perfect face from such a close distance, her beauty was so breathtakingthat it made the last pair who were fighting stopped in their tracks to look at her.

"Get out of here!" Pointing her finger towards Darren, Hailey demanded in a stone-cold voice. Theair of authority shown by the fair maiden was in contrast to the mildness of her radiance, yet onewould be shivering at the sound of her voice and her malignant stares.

"Ha! Why would you want me to leave?" asked Darren with his lips curved into a bitter smile. Nowthat he was recognized, there was no need to hide his face anymore. So he took off his mask andshowed his face to Hailey.

"Don’t misunderstand my action. I'm only in this competition to stop you from marrying a randomman because of me," looking at Hailey straight in the eye, Darren blurted out what was really on hismind in an honest voice. From the very start of the competition, as soon as he saw Hailey on thestage, looking for a groom, he immediately guessed that she must be doing that as a desperatemove—a consequence of what had happened between them.

"Ha ha!" With a sinister laugh, Hailey mocked, "Don't flatter yourself! Who do you think you are?Why would my actions have anything to do with you?"

Hearing their heated conversation, the warriors on the arena all furrowed their eyebrows and lookedat Darren in confusion. Did this man know Hailey before? What had happened between the two ofthem? Questions flooded their minds.

"Whether you admit it or not, this groom-recruiting competition is held by the Violet Phoenix Sect. Ihave every right to join whether you are the bride to be or not.” A bit harsh with his words rightnow, Darren was determined to end the conversation. He didn't want to argue with her anymore.

"I will warn you one last time. Get the fuck out of here. Now!" Hatred filled Hailey's pretty eyes. Hervoice, this time, was somewhat grating and louder.

A cold smirk appeared on Darren's face when he heard her words. "You know very well whathappened that day. Whose fault was it? I won't allow you to do this before you make everythingclear. Do you hear me?" the young warrior yelled.

"Who the hell do you think you are? Yes, what happened was my fault. I have bound you and forcedyou to sleep with me for three days. So what? I don't have to explain my actions to you! Do youthink you are the only one that has been hurt by what happened? Ha! What about me? What aboutme, skilled warrior? Victim? The innocent one?

Do you really think that I did that because you were attractive? Let me tell you one thing. I wouldnever let you touch any part of my body if it wasn't a life or death situation! Now, please kindly fuckoff. You don't have the right to be in this competition. You don't deserve to be on this stage at all!"Right at that moment, Hailey's body was shaking violently. When those words came out of hermouth, an intense aura filled with vexation was released from her, making everyone present feel hercontempt.
