Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 749 An Old Man Of The Dragon Race

"Let's head back,” Elsa cautiously said. Darren's instincts were never wrong.

"It's too late,” Darren said. He did not move from where he was standing.

Whoosh!

A flash of purple light swept past them.

Darren dodged, reaching out his palm but he felt nothing

"Hiss!"

They heard hisses all around them. Suddenly, a large number of purple-crystal snakes began toappear and surround them

Darren straightened up. He sensed that these snakes were more powerful than the one they hadencountered outside. They emitted a more powerful energy than the one outside had.

The situation was spinning out of control.

"Guys, I didn't mean to offend you. Could you please let us go?" Darren spoke in the same languageof the snake outside.

However, these snakes didn't seem to understand what Darren had said because they did not stoptheir movements.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

In a flash, all the snakes flew towards Darren and Elsa.

Bang!

Darren's sword intent flared up frantically and stirred up the winds around them.

However, the snakes were too strong! Darren's sword intent could not hurt them at all.

Whoosh!

Elsa triggered the killing sword intent in her mind and directed it towards one of the snakes.However, no matter how strong it was, it just left a small crack on its head.

Elsa's face fell. Even a strong attack such as the killing sword intent could not kill a purple-crystalsnake. How could she and Darren escape?

However, Elsa was unable to kill the snake because the killing sword intent she had launched wasnot strong enough. If it had been launched by Mathew, it would have turned out differently."These purple-crystal snakes are all as powerful as the inferior holy warriors using their Holy Will.Moreover, their bodies are extremely hard. We can't kill them.” Darren felt utterly helpless."Roar!"

Darren's body began to shift. Scales appeared on his skin and he began to grow. He transformedinto a dragon in order to protect Elsa.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The purple-crystal snakes went crazy. They all rushed towards Darren and began to fly around him.They began to nip at him and attack.

The snakes’ teeth bore into Darren's flesh.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The purple-crystal snakes left deep wounds on Darren but he was defenseless. He could not doanything to stop them.

The snakes enjoyed drinking Darren's blood and eating his flesh so they didn't want to kill himimmediately. Otherwise, Darren would have died instantly.

They continued to feast on Darren happily and Darren writhed in pain.

"Humph!"

Out of nowhere, a terrible roar rang out.

This roar seemed to make mountains collapse and rivers surge turbulently. The purple-crystalsnakes detached from Darren's body and began wriggling on the ground.

"A dragon's roar?” Darren was shocked as his bloody body fell onto the ground in exhaustion.

A dragon's head peeked through the purple fog and all at once, the fog dissipated.

"The dragon race,”

Darren said, in awe. He gazed up at the head and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, please save my wife!"

Darren did not care much about himself. As long as the dragon was willing to save Elsa, he wouldnot ask for anything more.

"Darren..." Elsa sobbed. When the purple-crystal snakes rushed over to attack them, Darren held herclosely to his body. He did not let anything hurt her.

Looking at Darren's bloody body, Elsa was heartbroken.

The dragon's head did not respond but shifted into that of a man's.

The figure approached them and as he drew nearer, Darren noticed he was disheveled and dirty.To Darren's astonishment, the figure was missing half of the bottom part of his body.

"Sir..." Darren shifted back into his human form and began to speak breathlessly.

The man hopped towards them on one leg. The purple-crystal snakes lay around him lifelessly.He picked up a purple-crystal snake and crushed its head between his fingers. He then extracted apurple bead from its body.

"Eat it," the man commanded.

Darren and Elsa were both stunned

This man must have tremendous power to crush the purple-crystal snake with his bare hands!Darren accepted the purple bead and swallowed it without hesitation.

A chill spread throughout his insides and his pain subsided.

Then, the man took more snakes and crushed them in his hands. He took out more purple beadsand handed them to Darren.

During the process, Darren felt that the dead purple-crystal snakes released strong soul power. Heassimilated the power without a second thought.

Buzz.

Darren's mind was buzzing and his Spirit Power had awoken to level 30!

He felt so comfortable that he even couldn't feel the pain on his body.

"Eat them."

The man handed the beads to Darren and commanded him to swallow them.

After swallowing all the beads, his body recovered.

"Thank you very much, sir!"

Darren and Elsa bowed together.

"You..are..welcome.” The man's words came out slurred.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, from the depths of the purple mist came a fierce roar.

The shabby man's aura radiated with the power of a dragon. He also gave a loud roar and all hisstrength began to permeate the air.

He began to shift until he remembered Darren and Elsa. He looked at them and hesitated.

He waved his hand and sent Darren and Elsa off. He flew towards the other direction with anamazing speed.

Darren and Elsa felt a little dizzy as if they were in a transmission array.

Darren and Elsa landed on a large purple-crystal platform.

"Sir, who are you?" Darren asked, steadying himself on the platform. He believed that there wasmore to this shabby man than what meets the eye.

The man did not respond, his eyes fixed on the horizon.

Whoosh!

A figure flew over towards them.

He fell on the platform with a soft thud.

It was a figure with a human form. He emitted a cold aura.

However, his entire body was totally made out of purple crystals—as dazzling as the night sky.Seeing this creature, Darren couldn't help but think of the young man in black armor flying out ofthe bronze coffin. Their auras felt similar.

The creature's purple eyes shone like diamonds and when he locked eyes with Darren, Darrenshivered.

"Roar!"

His shrill and ferocious roar shocked Darren into spitting out blood.

"You bastard!"

the shabby man standing next to Darren shouted, conjuring a powerful energy to protect Darrenand Elsa.

"What..." Both Darren and Elsa were taken aback.

"H-he can't come in," the disheveled man said slowly.

Darren felt relief.

"Sir, who is he?"

"Purple-crystal King," the man replied simply.

The Purple-crystal King! No wonder his aura was so strange and powerful.

Just by looking at his dazzling purple-crystal body, one would replace it difficult to resist him.

After watching them carefully, the Purple-crystal King soared into the sky and disappeared into thepurple mist.

Darren and Elsa both exhaled a sigh of relief.

"Kid, I I'm K-Kirk Ao." The man stuttered to get out his words.

Buzz.

Darren was astonished.

Lord Donald once mentioned about the legends of a dragon, two Xiaos and three demons. Darrenrecalled that Lord Donald said the dragon went by the name of Kirk Ao!
