Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 791 Incident In The Forbidden Area

Darren and the others landed on the ground.

Even though the fierce battle had occurred hundreds of thousands of kilometers deep in the void,the earth's surface had been devastated. The impact of the battle had destroyed everything, andeveryone could see only deep pits.

"Darren and the others have returned!”

The people of the Sacred Palace had hidden in a cave while the battle raged in the void. Whensilence descended, they came out of the cave and found Darren.

"What happened? Are you all right? Where is the Roc Demon Emperor?” Lord Donald askedimmediately.

"He left."

"Great! That's great. You forced the Roc Demon Emperor to leave. That's so great!" Lord Donald wasthrilled

"The credit goes to the seniors. I watched their battle from a distance for a while. Lord Donald, let'sreturn to the Sacred Palace before we speak more about the fight."

"Okay, let's go.”

The group returned to the Sacred Palace. Very soon, they repaired the dilapidated Sacred Palace.The next day, the eight commanders appeared at the Sacred Palace as promised and apologized.Lord Donald, though highly offended by their actions, decided not to make the situation worse.After the commanders admitted their mistake, he let them go.

The event didn't cause any deaths anyway, and now, the powerful masters of the Sacred Palace werestill in the eighteen cities. Even the senior behind the Sacred Palace had not returned. They couldnot ask for too much!

"Darren, what are you going to do? How about visiting the eighteen cities and improving yourstrength?" Lord Donald asked.

"Pure cultivation is useless for me at this stage. It's better if I stay on the continent. I have somethingto deal with."

"That's good. You can stay at the Sacred Palace. I will arrange a bedroom for you and Elsa."

"My Lord!"

Before Darren could reply to Lord Donald, an anxious voice rang through the palace.

"Come in."

"Lord Donald, I have bad news!" a Sacred Palace law-enforcer said. He appeared panicked

"Is that so? Take your time and tell me what happened.”

"The forbidden area. Something has happened in the forbidden area.”

"What!" Lord Donald jumped to his feet as he exclaimed.

Darren and Elsa exchanged glances as a sense of foreboding coursed through them.

"Tell me everything in detail.” Lord Donald yelled at the law-enforcer. His brows furrowed as hewaited for the law-enforcer to speak.

"Lord Donald, please go and check the forbidden area with the masters. I am not sure that I canexplain everything to you."

"Come with me.” Lord Donald waved his hand before flying in the direction of the forbidden area.Darren and several other law-enforcers followed Lord Donald.

Soon, Darren and the others landed before the halberd of Hiram the Great.

"Lord Donald, please have a look."

Ten law-enforcers at the seven-star Grand Realm were sitting on the ground several thousand feetfrom the halberd of the Hiram the Great.

Their eyes were wide open, and their faces and necks were swollen with black meridians."Something happened, and they became like this. I didn't dare to investigate. So, I sent someone toinform you, My Lord," a guard explained.

"You did the right thing." Lord Donald nodded before he glanced at the people again.

"Darren, what do you think happened to them?" Lord Donald asked Darren. He didn't dare to goforward after observing the ten law-enforcers for a while.

"It seems that some kind of power is controlling them. Even the blood vitality on their bodies hasdisappeared.”

"Is the fiend returning to life?" Ramon asked.

"No, perhaps not. Everyone, look at Hiram the Great's halberd,” Darren signaled to the others toobserve the part of the halberd that had pierced the fiend's arm.

It was only after Darren pointed it out that the others saw the small blood-like lines on the halberd'ssurface.

"Is the halberd of Hiram the Great absorbing the fiend's blood?" Auberon burst out as astonishmentflooded him.

The situation worried everyone.

"I'll investigate,” Darren offered.

"Please be careful, Darren.”

As Darren was the most powerful among everyone present, he was better equipped to handle anydisasters.

"Don’t worry!" Darren nodded and moved forward slowly, step by step.

Soon, Darren was only ten feet away from the ten people.

Sizz.

Darren could hear the sound of electric sparks colliding with each other coming from their bodies."Help me..." a law-enforcer, who was still a little conscious, said. His mouth moved, but his voicecould not be heard.

Darren did not rush forward as he felt that a strange force seemed to be pulling him.

He knew that if he hastened to save the person, there might be serious consequences. After all, thiswas the place where the fiend was suppressed.

Sizz.

As their blood vitality vanished faster, the bodies of the law-enforcers gradually turned intoskeletons with skins.

Buzz.

Suddenly, a strong force penetrated Darren's mind.

The force was deep, dark, and gloomy.

"The fiend's aura!" Darren tried to step back after realizing that the aura belonged to the fiend.However, regardless of how strong Darren was, he was imprisoned and unable to lift his legs.

A faint black gas flew out from the bottom of the Hiram the Great's halberd and headed for Darren.Darren was shocked. When he saw the black gas coming his way, he didn't dare to mobilize hispower to attack.

Buzz.

Instead, blade and sword intents spun around Darren. As they condensed into small whirlpools, theyattacked the power that imprisoned him.

Darren finally found that he could move a little. He shifted sideways just as the black gas nearedhim. A sigh of relief escaped Darren's lips when the gas brushed past him.

"Lord Donald, please destroy the black gas.” Darren turned to Lord Donald and requestedassistance.

Lord Donald and Auberon released their Holy Will in unison, and it dispersed the black gas."Darren, return quickly!" Lord Donald shouted as he was worried about Darren's situation.

"I'm trying. I need you guys to step back as well. There seems to be some trouble here."

The halberd of Hiram the Great released an icy aura that charged at Darren.

"What? Is this the aura of Hiram the Great?"

Darren was even more astonished. At this moment, he didn't overthink. He gathered all his strengthto break the power that imprisoned him and flew backward.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh.

A few figures chased Darren and threatened him from behind.

Darren sensed them with his spiritual sense. These figures were of the ten disciples of the SacredPalace whose blood vitality had been devoured!

Whoosh!

In response, Darren released his blade and sword intents.

But, the ten disciples moved so fast that even Darren was surprised.

The blade and sword intents only destroyed two of the mutated disciples of the Sacred Palace. Theremainder continued to rush toward Darren.

Bang!

Just as they neared, Darren hit them with his palm. His attack seemed to shatter another threedisciples.

One of them, however, was too fast.

As he closed in on Darren, he reached out and tried to grab Darren's head.

Buzz.

The blade and sword intents spinning around Darren's body cut the body of the mutated discipleinto pieces. However, as the mutated disciple's hand brushed past Darren's face, it pierced his skin.A sense of foreboding coursed through Darren.

However, he didn't have the luxury of time. Without further thought, he summoned his blade andsword intents to crush the remaining mutated disciples.

The whole process was so quick that it took less than several seconds.

Whoosh!

Darren struggled to shake off the suppression and rushed outside.

After he was a safe distance from the halberd, the cold aura dissipated

"Darren? Are you okay?" Elsa asked nervously as she flew to his side.

"I'm fine.” Darren nodded. Then, he continued, "We need to leave this area at once. Have someoneguard at tens of thousands of feet away from the halberd. No one is allowed to get close to thehalberd.”

"Do as Darren has instructed,” ordered Lord Donald.

"Yes, sir."

Everyone started to retreat.

"My Lord, I feel that the fiend is about to return to life. We must send stronger people to guard theforbidden area.”

"Auberon, will you stay behind and guard the area? If you replace anything, report it to me,” LordDonald turned to Auberon and said.

"Yes, My Lord."

Darren and the others remained in the forbidden area for a few more hours to observe. Whennothing happened, they left.

Late at night, in the darkness, a ray of blood appeared on the halberd of Hiram the Great.

The muscle of the fiend's arm, which was covered in the bloody scales, trembled. Then, a wisp of thefiend's aura quietly integrated with the bloody light.

Gradually, a shadow stepped out from Hiram the Great's halberd. No one around seemed to detectit

The shadow perfectly matched Darren's appearance
