Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 419 Cain Is Here (Part One)

All of a sudden, Darren lost control of the Ancient Void Battlefield. There was no way of gettingaccess to it anymore, as he couldn't even feel the existence of the Ancient Void Battlefield anymore,let alone get to it.

He was floating in the sky with dazed eyes reflecting the bewilderment he felt. He still hadn't fullyregistered what the hell just happened. Meanwhile, the other human grand warriors flew over tostand beside him.

"Young man, was it a small space that you used just now?" one of the three-star grand warriorsasked him in an impressed tone.

"Oh, it's you! What a nice coincidence!" Before Darren could process what was happening, muchless give a reply, one middle-aged man interrupted them. He wiped away the blood and shook offthe dust that had settled on his body, and then flew even closer to Darren. He leaned in, bringingtheir faces in closer proximity.

"And you are?" Darren asked.

"I am the sect master of the Violet Phoenix Sect, Jacob. You haven't met me before, but I have seenyour performance that day when you were in the competition,” the middle-aged man dressed inwhite answered with a smile on his face. His voice was gentle and soothing.

"Oh, nice to meet you, sir," Darren greeted him, cupping his hands while lightly bowing to him outof respect.

"Nice to meet you, too, young man." Jacob nodded his head, then added, "I can't believe you arethis talented and powerful at such a young age! You even thought of a way to fight the winged-tiger in his frantic state. We are quite lucky to have you on our side."

"Thank you, sir. I appreciate that.” Darren just smiled at Jacob in a polite way.

"You're simply lucky to still be alive. If the winged-tiger hadn't been so fully focused on killing theWater Kylin, you wouldn't have stood the slightest chance to open the small space at all. Are youreally feeling such pride about what you just did?" Hailey interjected in a biting tone. The harsh lookon her face was stone cold. Even though she was standing far away from them, her words easilycarried across the distance.

What she had said was too honest and harsh, but she had a point. If the winged-tiger's target hadbeen Darren, he wouldn't have had the chance to even go near the winged-tiger before he waskilled. What he did was an extremely dangerous move, at least in Hailey's opinion. That was why shedidn't think he should be praised, but instead scolded for his reckless actions. And that was whatshe did.

"So what? The Water Kylin is my friend and brother. And he was in danger. Do you really think that Iwouldn't save him just because I'm fearing for my own life, huh?" Darren responded in a calm tone.He disagreed with what she was saying, as it really didn't matter in the grand scheme of things.After saying what he thought, he flew towards the ground before anyone could give a reply. It wasessentially a signal that he was ignoring them all.

The grand warriors all heard what he said, and their eyes showed the appreciation and awe they felt.Every single one of them nodded their head in approval of Darren's words. At the same time, theyfinally understood that the “master’ the legendary beast had referred to earlier was actually thistalented young man.

“The young man is really great. He's so powerful at such a young age. Not only that, he is alsocultivating the blade and the sword skills at the same time. What a rare talent!" They all silentlythought the same thing of Darren, not aware that they were all in complete agreement.

The corners of Hailey's lips curved into a bitter smile as she watched Darren's retreating back. Shecouldn't quite pin down how she was feeling right now. However, it was easy to guess that Darrenhad to be the kind of man who always valued his friendships and his loyalty to the loved one a greatdeal. No wonder he was so angry that day.

Hailey started to think of every little thing she knew about Darren and she couldn't help but feelbitter on the inside. However, she couldn't even tell anymore if it was a right or wrong decision.

"I wish you all the best,” Hailey said softly under her breath. Then, without waiting to see ifsomebody had heard her, she turned and flew away from this place. Within seconds, she haddisappeared between the white clouds in the sky.

When Darren fell down to the ground, Timothy and Abelard immediately rushed towards him. Theywere just too stunned to say anything about what they had witnessed Darren do just now. Not onlydid he have a legendary beast who called him master, he also had controlled a small world. Theycould never compare to him no matter how hard they tried

"Is the winged-tiger dead?"

"He should be. But I suddenly lost control over the Ancient Void Battlefield, and I don't know why,"Darren said with his eyebrows knitted into a tight frown. He didn't know why, but his gaze fell onthe handsome young man standing some distance away from them.

Noticing that Darren was staring at him, the young man winked in a mischievous way. He wassmiling, but the smile seemed laden with hidden meaning. Darren couldn't help but immediatelyfeel suspicious.

"Was it you?" Darren demanded an answer, never one to beat around the bush. His tone was cold asice.

"Shush!" The handsome young man lifted his hand and pressed a finger to his lips, a clear gesturefor Darren to keep quiet. Then he walked over to them and said in a quiet voice, "The show is stillon. Don't alarm the prey.”

After hearing this, everyone was instantly alert. How could the three of them not feel like somethingwas terribly wrong now? They immediately let out their auras at the same time, and were about toattack the young man standing in front of them.

"Tut, tut! I told you to be quiet. Don't make me do it. Look, the best part is yet to come. Be goodand don't distract me, okay?" he told them while raising one of his hands. In the blink of an eye,Darren, Timothy and Abelard were restricted by a Shackle Rune. All of the strength they had wassucked out of their bodies and vanished completely. They didn't even have enough strength left tocry for help.
