Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 407 Submitting To Darren (Part One)

The powerful blade and sword intent boomed towards Oscar.

"How dare you start a fight against me?" Oscar didn't hesitate to activate his domain skill to itsfullest extent and immediately boomed back to Darren.

Being engulfed by the domain of a grand warrior was by no means something to just brush off.Darren had to admit to himself that he was quite impressed, especially considering that there wasno limit to how much Oscar's powers could be increased. That was, if Darren couldn't manage tocrush his domain, that was no easy feat, so Darren found himself in a tough situation. He was facedwith the power of a real domain after all.

"Water Kylin, come out now!"

If the situation had been different, this would have been a great opportunity for Darren to practicefighting against a rather weak grand warrior. But with how things were, it was no longer an option.There was another two-star grand warrior involved in the battle, so Darren had no other choice thanto call the Water Kylin out. He couldn't afford to waste time.

Boom!

There was a big explosion and bits and parts of flesh were thrown through the air. It only took asplit second for Oscar's body to be completely crushed into pieces. Without a doubt, it was truly agruesome sight for anyone who was watching it unfold. There was a moment of silence where theworld seemed frozen in time. Then, all of a sudden, a figure filled with an ancient aura appeared infront of everyone.

"Alas, Master! Such an easy job isn't worth my time. You can easily deal with it yourself. Just keepfighting for a few more seconds,” the Water Kylin said, somehow sounding both smug andexasperated at the same time.

"You're speaking too soon. There is another two-star grand warrior here. Kill him for me!" AfterDarren finished giving his orders, he turned and walked back over to Timothy. Darren crossed hisarms in a cool and controlled manner while standing next to his friend.

"Darren..."

Lost for words and unsure how to continue, the two friends just stared at Darren. Truly, they werecompletely stunned and didn't know what to say. There was a short, almost awkward silence."What's wrong?" Darren finally asked them calmly. He was calmer than he had any right to be, really,considering what had just happened

"Hey, man! Where did you replace such a powerful dog? We're all just shocked!" Abelard turned aroundto stare at the Water Kylin. He tried to keep his cool, but he couldn't help the look filled withadmiration on his face. The Water Kylin looked so powerful and his mere presence radiated strengthand confidence.

"Ha, how stupid you are! That's not a simple dog, but a legendary beast! If I'm not completelywrong, then this should be the legendary beast from ancient times, the Water Kylin," Timothyexclaimed while patting Abelard on his shoulder somewhat distractedly, still stupefied by theincredible sight in front of him.

"An ancient legendary beast! Can he defeat that two-star grand warrior?"

"How can you ask such a stupid question? Use your eyes and watch!"

Meanwhile, Darren was keeping quiet. He didn't bother answering the questions of the two men.They were still talking a mile a minute to each other, anyway. Instead, he was somewhat lost inthought. When he had heard the voice of that two-star grand warrior earlier, he was surprised bythe sudden appearance. But at the same time, hearing him had triggered something in his brain.This feeling of familiarity, as if he had met him before. Darren wanted to get to the bottom of thisand replace out who exactly this strange grand warrior was.

"Stop taking your time. Go and fight. Why are you just standing there?" Darren asked the WaterKylin when he realized that the latter hadn't moved at all, still hovering in the same spot in the air."Master, don't be in such a haste. Let me watch for an extra minute. I like to observe them fightingfiercely,” the Water Kylin said as he watched the purple-haired old man and the black dragonshadow fight against the two-star grand warrior.

"Okay, so be it. You can do whatever you want as long as you capture them alive."

"I understand, Master!"

The unknown two-star grand warrior had of course noticed the presence of the Water Kylin andlistened to the exchange, feeling stressed. His body was drumming from the nervous fear that hadgripped him. Slowly, so as not to alert anybody to his presence and actions, he started to retreatstep by step.

But he was right in front of the Water Kylin. How could he escape without being noticed? It wasfutile.

As if reading his mind, the Water Kylin started to finally move his body. One paw was raised, movingwith intent towards the mysterious grand warrior. Truly, there was no escaping this. Therefore, thefigure who had kept invisible in the air up until that moment was finally seen by the others.

The figure was actually standing in the air in a very awkward position, uncomfortable with thesituation he found himself in and with a shocked look on his face.

"It's you!" After finally unveiling the stranger and seeing his appearance, Darren immediately gotfurious. He felt anger rise from the bottom of his heart, burning his insides.

"Darren, do you know him? Who is he?"

"Ethan, you evil guy! I can't believe it's actually you! You could have just stayed out of this and facedthe slim chance of staying alive. Now we meet today, and you have to die here!" Darren told himwith a voice cold as ice.

That two-star grand warrior was no other than Ethan, the man who had gone to help Gerald asDarren was killing Bryan.

As for Ethan, he was extremely shocked by what he had witnessed. Truth be told, he was just doingsome unimportant business in the location of the Violet Phoenix Sect. That was when he hadspotted Darren.

It was a known fact, though, that he truly just hated Darren with a vengeance. Later he stumbledupon Oscar who was also beaten by Darren. Fueled by their distaste of the man, the two hadplotted to kill Darren in secret. Never in his wildest imagination could he have expected that Darrencould call out a legendary beast to fight against them.

Faced with this new development, Ethan's confidence had turned to fear. He was scared to death ofwhat Darren and the legendary beast could do to him. Now, it didn't take much imagination toguess the outcome of a fight. He would most likely be killed by the Water Kylin. He gulped at thatthought.

"Please forgive me," Ethan pleaded as he was looking at Darren with fear in his eyes.

"Are you trying to say something to me?" Darren gave him a smile that was mocking and filled withdisdain.

"Please forgive me and I promise that I will never bring you any trouble. Truly never again from thismoment on. If you are in danger, I can even give you a hand. If you so wish.” Ethan tried not toshow how frightened he was. He doubted that he could keep the emotion from showing on his face,so he lowered his head. In reality, he was simply begging Darren to let him go. The survival instinctkicked in, his pride being damned.

"Do you think that is possible? Have you forgotten what has happened that fateful day? To tell youthe truth, your good friend, Gerald, was tortured harshly. Are you angry about that?" Darren spokein a monotone voice, while his face stayed completely blank and emotionless.
