Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 473 The Last Struggle

When Darren heard Carey speaking, he didn't care that the rule cultivators had crossed into thearray. He immediately turned his head to look at Carey and asked, "Did you succeed, youngmaster?”

"I still need about an hour. You have to protect me until then!" Beads of sweat were running downCarey's face. Clearly, he was at the most crucial moment of the inheritance.

"Okay. Don't worry, young master. I will try my best to keep you safe.” Darren let out a small sigh ofrelief after hearing the young master's words.

Carey didn't reply. He fell silent as he concentrated on his inheritance breakthrough. But before that,he employed another small defensive array to safeguard himself. This was another treasure thatCarey had brought to protect his life.

Seeing that the fifteen rule cultivators were about to enter, Darren didn't have the time to think. Herushed out without a second thought, and at the same time, he put a considerable amount of hisSpirit Power into the crystal ball to activate the power of the portion of the master's soul.

Earlier, only Carey could activate the crystal ball as he was the master's biological son. But whenCarey gave the crystal ball to Darren, he removed this restriction so that Darren's Spirit Power couldalso activate the crystal ball.

"Huh? The impostor is approaching us! Come on. Let's kill him!"

Seeing that Darren was out, the fifteen powerful rule cultivators used their rule power to launchattacks at him with all their might.

All kinds of powerful weapons, blades, hurricanes, Shackle Runes, and even thunder were aimed atDarren, in unison.

Darren was now facing over ten different kinds of attacks!

To the rule cultivators' surprise, Darren didn't dodge. They didn't know that he had already releasedthe power of the small part of the master's soul.

Rumble!

With a loud sound, a horrifying strong aura appeared.

The rule cultivators gasped in fright when they sensed the frightening aura. It was so intense thatthey almost stopped breathing.

"It... It's our master!"

"No! It's the master's soul power!"

The rule cultivators were so stunned by the figure that had been condensed by the power that theyalmost fell to the ground in fear.

"Don't panic! The impostor must have gotten the young master's treasure. Come on, continue theattacks!" The most powerful elder was the first to realize what was happening. He immediatelyordered everyone else to continue bombarding Darren. Hearing his order, the other cultivatorssnapped out of their trance.

"Whoever attacks my son will die!"

the master's figure spat out these words in a stone-cold voice. Under the control of Darren's SpiritPower, several soul attacks were launched at the rule cultivators.

"Ahhhhh!"

Ten powerful rule cultivators cried out in pain. After a short while, they exploded. To be moreprecise, their souls couldn't take the intensity of the attacks, and so, they burst.

Seeing this, Darren couldn't help but be secretly surprised. After all, the power of a few attacks froma fragment of the master's soul was so strong that it immediately killed ten powerful rule cultivators!"How powerful is the master?" Darren couldn't help but wonder.

In the blink of an eye, there were only five elders left. The only reason these five survived the attackswas that one of the elders had mastered a rule formula that could resist soul attacks. He then usedthis formula to protect himself and four other rule cultivators.

"Step back, and let me try!"

After the attacks settled, one of the elders stepped forward and firmly instructed the survivingelders.

"He only has the power of a portion of our master's soul. Let me kill him!"

This elder happened to have mastered another rule formula that could kill souls.

Shoop! Shoop! Shoop!

Right as the elder was speaking, the shadow of the Red Inferno Sect's master re-launched new soulattacks.

"Back off! All of you. Third Elder, kill him!" The elder who had just saved their lives stepped forwardagain. He stood in front of the others and used his skill to resist the attacks.

Meanwhile, the Third Elder remained silent as he focused on starting the rule formula. A violet-green light ball made of runes appeared in his hand. He planned to throw the ball at the master'sshadow.

"Ha! Do you really think that you can resist my attack?’ Darren mocked in his mind. A cold smirkgrew on his face when he realized that the elders were so busy resisting the attacks from the soulshadow that they had completely forgotten about him.

"Hurricane Teleportation Skill!" After summoning the teleportation skill, Darren disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, he reappeared in front of the five elders. Not only that, he had activated theavatar skill as well. Now, besides his real body, eight of Darren's avatars also stood before the elders.Rumble!

Darren directed the dark gold internal force and the olive-black force at the elder who could defendagainst the soul attack.

"Fourth Elder!"

The elders were so focused on the soul shadow that they didn't expect Darren to launch an attack.However, they responded quickly. As soon as Darren appeared in front of them, the rule cultivatorsbacked off. Only the Fourth Elder was within the range of Darren's attack.

Bang!

Darren's power was extremely strong. A rule cultivator without proper defending abilities wouldhave been crushed by it. The Forth Elder died before he could do anything.

At the same time, Darren used his Spirit Power to direct the soul shadow to launch two more soulattacks.

There were no limitations on how many attacks Darren could release through the soul shadow. Hecould have launched more except, merely controlling the shadow was draining all of Darren's SpiritPower. Hence, he could only direct the soul shadow to release two more soul attacks.

Without the Fourth Elder's defense, the two powerful soul attacks released under Darren's orderskilled two more elders.

The last two remaining elders were fortunate, as the Third Elder had released the violet-green lightball at the soul shadow and killed the soul shadow right before he succumbed to the attacks.

Now, there were only two powerful rule cultivators left from the whole one hundred rule cultivators.As and when the rule cultivators died, Darren ensured that he assimilated their Spirit Power.Unfortunately, their Spirit Power was below level twenty-five. So even though Darren had absorbedall their Spirit Power, his Spirit Power didn't upgrade by much.

Although the Third Elder had killed the soul shadow, Darren still had one advantage left. The twopowerful elders had drained most of their power while bombarding Darren and defending againstthe attacks they had received. Now, they probably had only about thirty percent of their power left.So, Darren was not afraid of them.

"You filthy bastard!"

Tears of anger streamed down the two elders’ faces. Their eyes were blood-red, and they bothglared at Darren furiously.

"You deserve it," Darren hummed coldly. He didn't feel guilty about having killed so many rulecultivators as the ones he had killed were evil and vicious. The people of the Red Inferno Sect hadmassacred hordes of innocent people before. All of the dead rule cultivators had blood on theirhands. They truly deserved to die!

"Second Elder, the other three elders are dead. This brat murdered them! It seems that we will meeta similar fate today. We are surely going to die here. So let's kill this filthy bastard even if it costs usour lives. Let's burn our souls!"

"Yes!"

When Darren heard their discussion, his expression changed.

Kaleb, who was much weaker than the two elders in front of Darren, had also burned his soul whenattacking Darren. His attack had been overwhelmingly strong. Now that the two elders planned toburn their souls to attack Darren, he knew that he would not survive.

"You will die today!"

The two elders used their last rule power to initiate the process of burning their souls.

It happened very quickly. To escape, Darren tried to use the Hurricane Teleportation Skill.

But he had consumed too much of his Spirit Power when controlling the soul shadow in theprevious attacks. So, he could only use the Hurricane Teleportation Skill a few more times. It wouldbe difficult for him to escape this time.

"You will have to die, you betrayers!"

Right at this time, a voice laced with venom and hatred echoed in this place. A figure appearedabove them in the blink of an eye.

The two elders and Darren found themselves restricted by the Shackle Rune. They couldn't move atall.

"Young... Young master!"

Seeing the familiar figure, the two elders stopped their attacks. Excitement reflected on their faces.Meanwhile, Darren's heart skipped a beat. The young master of the Red Inferno Sect had woken uponly after about fifteen minutes. Not only that, he was much stronger than before!

Darren summoned the bottle with the rule power blockade in his hand. He would use the rulepower blockade for the last time to escape if things didn’t work out.

"Young master! It's such a relief to see that you are safe and sound!" the strongest elder saidexcitedly.

"Don't listen to them, young master! Don't be fooled by the vicious old bastard! He only wants tokill you!

They had planned to feign innocence and loyalty to you if you survived all their attacks. Earningyour trust would help them lure you into their last trap. If I guessed correctly, they would claim that Iam the traitor to fool you,” Darren sputtered as anxiety coursed through him

"You fucking liar!" shouted the two elders simultaneously.
