Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 690 Dexter's Attack

The holy emperor's power had already been weakened by the stone hall but it was still potentenough to wound Darren and Hobson. If it weren't for the old man, they would have alreadyperished.

"No. If it goes on like this, I myself will no longer be able to hold on.” The old man's face grewserious. He used his finger to trace a circle in the air which expanded to reveal a hole.

"Get in," said the old man. He quickly entered the void with Darren and Hobson close behind.

After a few moments, the three men emerged from the darkness and found themselves in anotherstone chamber.

"This is the very heart of the Mythological Palace. We will be safe here unless it is destroyed.” Withthese words, the old man cast a trace of rule power on the mirror wall in front of him.

The wall glimmered and gave off a gentle light. Suddenly, the surface was distorted and the menwere met with a gruesome scene.

A golden figure was standing atop the Mythological Palace, brandishing his spear. Every time hewould launch an attack, a large mass of land would crumble. The black mountains in the distancecontinued to crumble and the terrain was dotted with countless gullies that stretched over thewhole expanse of the battlefield.

"It's the scene of the battle between the two strong martial artists!" Darren and Hobson stared atthe image before them unblinkingly.

"Indeed. This is the only place I can go to see the outside world. To tell you the truth, only the lord ispermitted to set foot in this place but I took a chance to bring you two in because everything herehas become disorderly.” As the old man spoke, he also stared closely at the wall before them

"Wait. Why are we only seeing one man attack? Why can't we see the other warrior?"

Darren was confused. The mysterious old man was nowhere to be found.

"The emperor's soul cannot attack without being provoked first. Perhaps the mysterious man is toofast to be seen through the mirror wall,” the old man explained.

"Wow!" Darren and Hobson were both amazed at the mysterious man's otherworldly speed.

They focused their attention back to the mirror wall and saw the lone shadow launching attack afterattack without any hesitation. His power was felt throughout the entire space and made the groundtremble. The terrain continued to crumble and collapse and even the sky began to crack under thepressure of his energy.

Suddenly, an old man's figure appeared on the screen.

At first glance, he did not appear to be powerful. His hair was mussed up and he was covered withdirt and grime. His eyes were dull and muddy and he looked frail.

The emperor's soul shadow continued attacking. Each of his attacks bit into the earth with theferocity like that of a wild beast's.

The mysterious old man appeared to be afraid, dodging the attacks by moving left and right slowly.Surprisingly, his slow speed rendered the shadow's attacks useless.

"That old man is just too powerful!" the short old man gasped in astonishment. The mysterious oldman could effortlessly dodge even the attacks of an emperor's soul! His strength was beyondcomprehension.

“The emperor's soul is capable of using at least half of the power of a holy emperor. The old manhasn't even made a move yet. If he does, it will probably completely suppress the emperor's soul, *the short old man thought to himself.

The frightening scene outside continued, striking fear into the hearts of everyone who bore witnessto it,

The holy emperor's power swept hundreds of thousands of kilometers and destroyed countlessmountains. The cracks spread directly to the deserted place of the forbidden area.

"Oh no! It seems that the holy tombs have been destroyed!" The old man noticed that the scene onthe screen rippled. It shifted to that of a graveyard.

Every tomb on the ground was hollowed out, and powerful figures stepped out from each of them.Among them was a figure dressed in cyan holding a bronze bell.

There was also a man, intimidatingly large with only half a head. He had a bloody sword made outof bone in his hand.

Next to them, there was a blood-red figure that was wielding a spear.

They all looked towards the direction where the fight was and flew over there.

The fighting had broken most of the restrictions in the forbidden zone. There were no rules barringthe soulless warriors who had risen from the tombs from travelling wherever they pleased either.They were free to roam wherever they wished.

Every time they flew over one place, the ground cracked open and gave way, revealing streaks ofterrifying, dark-colored lightning.

The group of warriors moved towards the mysterious old man one by one.

A moment later, they arrived at the battlefield. Without any hesitation, the bronze bell, the bonesword, the blood spear... weapons possessing all sorts of tremendous power attacked the old manall at once.

The mysterious old man masterfully dodged all the attacks being hurled at him and disappeared.The shadow still kept attacking with the emperor's light shining around his body like a golden aura.Boom!

After a violent tremble, the mysterious old man reappeared

He pouted as if he were a child who was being bullied.

"Yah! Yah! Yah!"

The old man waved his hand and the space surrounding him collapsed. The warriors who werenearest him were thrown up into the air and their bodies were torn to shreds.

"Ha."

He waved his hand again and incinerated the holy weapons that were attacking him. He was able tocrush dozens of holy bodies with just the flick of his wrist.

The terrifying scene left Darren and the other two agape in complete astonishment.

The mysterious old man did not appear to have used any strength at all. He simply grabbed at theair and sent out random attacks, yet he was able to crush so many bodies of martial artists whowere in the Holy Realm.

"Amazing! So amazing! Is that mysterious old man a genuine emperor?"

Suddenly, a shout rang out behind Darren and Hobson

Bang!

Darren and Hobson became frightened and immediately turned, only to see that the short old manwas hurled away, trailing blood in his wake.

"It's Dexter!"

Darren and Hobson looked horrified.

The short old man hit the ground, and he hurried to use the Life True Rule to heal himself as soon ashe landed.

However, before he could heal, he was struck more than a thousand times by Dexter. The powercrushed the short old man’s bones completely.

"Ha, do you think you deserve to be called a junior holy warrior? You can't even handle a singleattack from me! Who the hell do you think you are?"

Both Darren and Hobson felt a little anxious. The Holy Will that came out from Dexter was muchmore powerful than before he became the lord of the palace. Seeing him in such a state wasworrying, to say the least.

“Let's go!"

The short old man struggled to get up to heal his wounds and he quickly activated the Space TrueRule. He used it to transport himself along with Darren and Hobson.

"Go? I'm now in charge of the palace. It will be easy for me to replace you.” Dexter gave them a sinistersmirk and he disappeared.

The short old man took Darren and Hobson to a small, secret room. At the center of the room, therewas a pond filled with blood. Lying in the pool was a corpse of a young man.

"Darren, give the body to your buddy quickly or we will all die. That little bastard has the strength ofan inferior holy warrior at the top level.” The short old man's face was as pale as a ghost. The attackshe had received hurt him terribly and he knew that it was going to take him a long time to recoverand recuperate.

"Okay, I'll tell him right away.”

Turning to Finley for help was their only hope for survival.

Darren activated the force of control to connect with the Ancient Void Battlefield.

However, since he had sealed off the Ancient Void Battlefield before, even the force of controlcouldn't easily penetrate it.

"Damn it! I need it to open right away!"

Darren pushed the force of control hard against the Ancient Void Battlefield. At last, he was finallyable to project his spiritual sense inside it.

"Finley, I've found the body of a senior holy warrior for you. Come out quickly!" Darren's voiceechoed throughout the whole Ancient Void Battlefield.

Vroom!

In a cave inside the Ancient Void Battlefield, Finley awoke and flew out in a flash.

At the same time, the body of a senior holy warrior also flew in front of him.

Bang!

A sharp pain suddenly hit Darren square on the back before he could utter another word. He felt asif his spine were being twisted and his bones were being dislodged from their sockets one by one."Ha, did you really think you can escape from me?"

Dexter had come.
