Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 509 The Hereditary Treasures

The instant the black mutant tried to escape, Darren flung out his hand and activated his HurricaneTeleportation Skill.

"Did you really think you could pull that off under my watch?"

Darren sneered coldly as he covered the distance in a blink and landed in front of the black mutant,barring his path.

"You bastard!" the black mutant snarled. Enraged and shocked at Darren's speed and the fact theway out was blocked, the black mutant launched his attack, his razor-sharp claws swiping at Darren."Humph!" Darren snorted coldly.

He split into eight avatars, surrounding the black mutant.

The eight avatars countered the mutant, bombarding him with unmatched blade and sword intentsand powerful dark gold internal force.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The body of the black mutant burst open in several areas, gushing blue-black blood.

He threw back his head and let out a pain-filled screech.

His body swelled until his veins became prominent. They appeared as if they would burst throughhis skin. Or that the skin itself would rip apart.

Darren smirked. The black mutant's combat power matched that of a two-star grand warrior at histop level. He regretted not being able to kill the mutant in a second or less.

At that very moment, the other two black mutants dashed forward. Killing intent spilled from themas they charged toward Darren. Claws spread, they closed the distance quickly.

Whoosh!

More warriors offered their opinions. "Yes, Darren's skills are really amazing. We're seriously injured.Even if we go with him, we might prove to be more hindrance than help.”

On and on the voices went, with more offering their thoughts and suggestions.

Adam looked from one warrior to another. He nodded, seemingly agreeing with many of them."Darren, then thank you for your help,” Adam said sincerely with his hands cupped. He bowed toDarren.

"Darren, thank you for your help,” chanted the remaining strong warriors of the Shaoyan Clan asone. They cupped their hands and bowed.

Darren bowed to them. "Thank you, sirs. But you do not have to be this courteous. Timothy and Iare close friends. I will try my best to rescue him." Darren lifted his head and offered an appreciativesmile.

After that, Darren was ready to fly to the stone castle's top floor.

"Darren, please wait for a moment. I have some things to tell you before you go," Adam said.

"All right. What is it?" Darren asked and turned back.

"I will make it short. This stone castle is our Shaoyan Clan's Heaven and Earth Castle; it has fourfloors, of which the second and third floors were originally used to test the geniuses of our clan. Youshould check each floor carefully before you go to the top floor to rescue Timothy."

Taken aback, Darren frowned and asked, "Do I also have to pass the test of each floor before I go tothe top floor?"

"No, you don't have to. With your current fighting power, those tests are useless. They may havebeen destroyed by the mutants. But the second and third floors have our clan's treasures handeddown from our ancestors. If you went there and found that those treasures were not destroyed bythe mutants, you could take them and use them to fight the mutants.

There is an Energy Gathering Pool in the second floor. The crystal at the bottom will be useful. In thethird floor, there are three ancient Divine Weapons, a blade, a spear and a sword. Either one or all ofthem should increase your power. If the mutants have taken them or destroyed them, then at leastyou're prepared for that possibility also.” Adam bowed when he was done.

"I see. Thank you." Darren nodded and flew straight up the castle.

After he left, one of the grand warriors from the Shaoyan Clan asked, "Chief, these are thehereditary treasures of our clan. Isn't it against our ancestral teachings to allow an outsider to havethem?"

Adam scowled. "Our clan is on the verge of being destroyed. Does it really matter if we obey ourancestral teachings? The treasures can be obtained by those who have strong enough abilities. Asfor the ancient spiritual crystal in the Energy Gathering Pool, no one in our clan has absorbed thespiritual energy inside it for countless years. We can only rely on the array to absorb spiritual energy.So the crystal has not been so useful to us.

Darren is outstanding. Despite being in his twenties, his combat power is beyond any of us. Hemight be strong enough to use the crystal. The same thing with the three Divine Weapons. No onein our clan can wield them. If they were not taken away by the mutants, maybe he could be theirowner. Didn't you replace out that he cultivates both the sword and blade skills at the same time?"Adam gestured to an elder grand warrior. The elder grand warrior nodded.

Adam continued, "Warriors who cultivate both the sword and blade skills are legendary figures.

He might have broken the repression of Conflicting Cultivation. It's the very reason he wasn't killedlong ago.”

The elder warrior bowed. "Chief Adam is right. Darren has definitely displayed power unlike anyone Iever witnessed. He's also proven to be a good friend. He came to help our young master, and evenrescued us without hesitation. His such qualities are hard to replace nowadays. If these hereditarytreasures are useful to him, then all the better. They can be considered as our rewards to him. If theyare not useful to him, we will owe him a lot.” Sincerity lit the elder's eyes.

The first grand warrior bowed to both of them in turn. “Both Chief Adam and the elder have madevery good points. I was foolish to raise such a doubt.” Adam smiled at him. He then turned to theothers.

"All right! Let's be quick about healing our wounds. Those spiritual herbs, elixirs, and pills Darren leftare also very valuable. We should appreciate his generosity, and be ready in case he needs our help.If it were some other person, they would not have given such valuable items to strangers.” Thepeople of the Shaoyan Clan bowed to the Chief. Many offered their thanks and respect for Darren.Darren soon reached the stone castle's second floor.

The place was a mess. All that remained of the large pool at the center was broken stone andrubble. Disappointed, Darren shook his head.

On a whim, he released his spiritual sense to detect the entire floor. Soon, he felt an extremelymajestic, profound aura flowing in the broken pool. He grinned at the discovery.
