Chapter 559 The Cross Mark (Part One)

Though his head was throbbing in pain, and he seemed to be losing his balance, Darren struggledto steady himself and stood his ground. Right at that very moment, he was too dumbfounded as hecould hardly breathe under the pressure of the tremendous force that was pressed upon him.

In a matter of three seconds, the expression on Mathew's face also changed dramatically. His eyespopped wide as a much stronger killing sword intent burst out, rushing towards Darren.

'What was that? What happened?’ Darren shouted the question in his heart, his face pale, and hisknees trembling, but he could not speak a word. Not a single word escaped his mouth as his voicewas totally inaudible amidst the rumbling sound of the clashing intents.

Boom!

Following the intense impact of the clash, cracks suddenly appeared in the space of the StarryTower. The tower was on the verge of collapsing as it was nearly smashed into pieces by bothMathew's and Hanson's power.

"Phew! Phew! Ha-ha!"

A few seconds later, as the smoke and dust drifted off, a child-like, sharp voice was heard.

Indeed, as the wall of smoke and dust subsided, the clay figurine was smashed into pieces before itcould escape. The figure standing on the mound earlier was now joined with the sand in the ground—pulverized and lifeless.

A moment later, after such ear-shattering chaos, silence resumed. Despite the peaceful ambiance,Darren looked uneasy when he saw the two elders flew over and approached him.

"Damn it! It seems that the Starry Tower has been infiltrated. If only the master is here, none of thecreatures from the Formidable Ghostdom will dare to come close as they will certainly be dead!"Mathew muttered with dire vexation evident on his face.

He then shifted his gaze to Hanson and warned him, "Hanson, be careful, it seems that thosecreatures have spotted you again.”

Hearing such a warning from Mathew, Hanson was silent for a moment. He held into his silence anddidn't utter a word until he flew to Darren's side. After which, the moment he confirmed hisassumption, he frowned and said, "I'm afraid those creatures didn't come for me.”

With that, he pointed his finger and cut off a piece of Darren's clothes in front of his chest. Suchaction baffled Darren at once and made him look down at his chest. He did so to clear his mind offas to what was Hanson referring to

Aghast and paled, the three of them were horror-stricken, and their faces darkened as their eyeswere fixed at Darren's chest.

There it was, raw and glaring on Darren's chest—the mark of a half-done black cross.

"Damn it!" Hanson roared at the sight of such a mark. He was filled with horror and hopping mad atthe same time. Turning to Mathew, he continued, "Those creatures are targeting Darren. He's beenmarked even when he is inside the Starry Tower."

Like the Formidable Ghostdom, the Starry Tower also existed between the spaces. But generally, noone dared to get close to the tower because the avatar of the young man with black and whitesword eyes was carefully guarding the Starry Tower. Those who dared to come near the tower withundesirable intentions would surely die.

However, for some reason, the young man with black and white sword eyes couldn't send out hisavatar to guard here for a while. Thus, those greedy and aggressive creatures from the FormidableGhostdom took the chance and trespassed the Starry Tower.
