Chapter 446 The Resurface Of The Black-robed Man (Part One)

Hearing Ethan's words, Darren gave out a cold smile. He was thinking about the possibility thatEthan's soul was still here even if his body and bones were disheveled, torn, and shattered. Darrenwas pleased to know that his opponent had never stood a chance against him from the start—hemust have improved these past few weeks.

All this time, as a result of numerous battles that he had, Darren knew how to attack his opponent'ssoul. However, it usually would not work, especially when he was up to face an opponent who alsohad powerful souls. After all, there was still much room for improvement for his Spirit Power.Ethan's soul was indeed quite strong, but he was dying at the moment. With his dying body, his soulwas about to collapse, another blow from Darren would inevitably end his life. The warrior couldn'twithstand Darren's soul attack in the first place.

Hiss!

A Spirit Power Arrow that was invisible to naked eyes pierced into the spirit of Ethan. The skill was sopotent that, along its path, swirls of combined smoke and dust towered through the air.

"Ahhhhh!" Right after the impact, Ethan was immobilized and could not do anything but to screamout of pain. He limped and lolled in agony and couldn't cry out much louder. The torture was waytoo excruciating for him.

When it came to battles, the attack on one's soul was more intense and damaging than any form ofphysical assault on one's body. It certainly would cause much more pain, hundred-fold stronger.Darren knew all these, for he had experienced the same thing earlier.

While Darren was looking down at him, he could see that Ethan was in great pain and on the vergeof dying. On the one hand, as he laid there bearing all the torment, Ethan sincerely wished that hehad been dead so that there wouldn't be a need for him to suffer such pain of this scale. However,he could not even lift a finger to end his own life.

"Are you going to talk or not? Do not test my patience. I am starting to reach the end of my rope,”much more infuriated this time, Darren shouted while unleashing another soul attack on Ethan in anattempt to squeeze the information out of the suffering warrior.

Receiving another attack from Darren, Ethan was apparently in even more pain as all of his musclesbegan to twitch involuntarily, and his tendon began to retract that his whole body started to curl up."Please...please stop. I will tell you everything that you want to know. Just stop attacking me."Mustering all the remaining strength that he had, Ethan managed to squeeze these words out of hismouth.

Not in his wildest imagination, he thought that Darren would actually use such torture technique onhim. Thus, with his last line of mental defense being torn down, he caved in.

Hearing that Ethan had yielded, Darren retracted the soul attack. A heap of relief was let out byEthan the moment he saw Darren withdrew, and he felt like he had just come back to life. Afterhaving a taste of pain, with such extent caused by the soul attack, his physical pain now was noteven worth mentioning.

"Fine. I will not deny the fact that I lost to you. I only have one request, which is for you to kill mequickly after I give you what you want." Stuttering with his words, Ethan could barely breathe nowas the torture had drained his life energy.

"Fine. I will do that for you," Darren replied coldly without any emotion attached to it.

"After I escaped from your legendary beast the other day, I was attacked by two Invisible Panthersand was injured by some black magic. Although I managed to get out of there in the end, I realizedthat the wounds were fatal, and there was not much time left for me in this world.

Just when I was about to give it all up out of despair, a black-robed man appeared and told me thathe could heal my wounds. All my hopes were heightened at that time. However, there was onecondition that was for me to follow his instructions and run his errands for him after I was healed. Atthat time, I was already dying. So I had no choice but to accept his offer without thinking aboutanything else.” Ethan narrated the incident to Darren

After catching up his breath, Ethan continued, "That black-robed man was indeed omnipotent. Hehealed my wounds with just a snap of his fingers, and then I was brought back to life. It was notuntil after that moment did I realize that I had just jumped into another abyss, a point of no return.It is because he is an evil witch, who is the messenger of the Red Inferno Sect. It was too late beforeI realized that I had made a deal with the devil.

Without my knowledge, he has planted something deep in my spirits and used it as a leverage tocontrol me. He asked me to collect one thousand strong souls and told me that it had something todo with the breakthrough of a young master, which I was not quite sure whom or what it was, firstand foremost. If I do not follow his order, he will torture me until I get him what he wants or maybesomeday just kill me directly. There is absolutely nothing that I can do about it.”

Ethan told everything to Darren without holding anything back.

"The Red Inferno Sect!" At the mention of the word, Darren felt both overjoyed and vexed at thesame time. He finally had a clue of their whereabouts, but at the same time, he was really angry withwhat they had done.

"Do you know where the Red Inferno Sect is based in? And how do I gain access to the sect?" askedDarren, in hopes of locating and eradicating the evil sect from this world.

"Put it in your word, and I am simply a dog of that messenger. They will definitely keep thatinformation from me. How am I supposed to know that?" Ethan gave a bitter smile while jokingabout himself. Now that the cat was out of the bag, he admitted his status of being a servitude tothe Red Inferno Sect.

Darren did not say anything as he knew that Ethan was most likely telling the truth. Judging from hissituation at the moment, he could not possibly be able to contact the Red Inferno Sect directly.

But, Darren also did not want to let this newly-acquired piece of information go to waste. He wasnot happy about how things went, but after a moment of contemplation, he decided that this wasstill a dead end, and he needed to replace new information to track down the Red Infernal Sect.

"If you really want to replace the Red Inferno Sect, I think you can follow that messenger with yourability to conceal your aura." Breaking the dull moment, Ethan suddenly began to speak. His ideasurprised Darren a little.

"Is that possible?" With a challenging tone, Darren frowned after giving it a thought. "Then, how doI replace that black-robed messenger?”
