Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 289

Darren headed south after determining the direction. Soon, he saw some primitive and dilapidated buildings.

'What kind of people live in this world?' Darren wondered.

As he studied the buildings, he vaguely felt the remnants of a strong and distant atmosphere.

Instead of flying toward the buildings, Darren slowly descended into the dense jungle nearby. He didn't want to run into some unknown horror, like the last time.

"Huh? There is an intruder!" Darren had just landed in the jungle when he heard a voice coming from one of the derelict buildings.

He concealed his breath and hid quietly in the jungle. Soon, he saw several figures exiting one of the broken-down houses.

Darren's eyes widened in astonishment. The people were muscular and large, and to his surprise, they each had two heads!

"Chief, it seems as though the nobodies are coming," one of the double-headed men said to the strongest among them.

"Well, set an ambush. We'll kill them when they approach the Primitive Stones."

"But, Chief, we are limited in our ability to fight. Can we defeat those so-called superior talents?" another double-headed man asked with concern.

"Don't worry. I've already sent someone to check their strength. They are more repressed than we are. And their current strength is only at the sixth or the seventh stage of the Spirit Realm. Our current strength is about at the third or the fourth stage of the Mysterious Realm. Our chief's cultivation base is equivalent to the seventh stage of the Mysterious Realm. It would be easy for us to kill them—just like slaughtering animals," another man said confidently.

...

Still hidden in the jungle, Darren was able to eavesdrop on their conversation. He concluded that these double-headed men had also come from the outside world and were probably a kind of mutant living in the border region, just as Chad had mentioned.

Darren quietly released his spiritual sense to check their strength and found that each of them had incredible power. They were much stronger than the superior talents he had come here with.

Fortunately, he had heard their plans and knew what they intended to do. Their purpose in coming here first was to be prepared to ambush the human superior talents and kill them!

Now, they were ready for the arrival of the superior talents.

Killing these mutant men would be the prudent thing to do. However, Darren didn't want to act rashly as he didn't know how many enemies there were. What was more, he could only exert strength equivalent to the third stage of the Mysterious Realm at best. It was highly unfortunate that in this world, there were too many restrictions on a human's power.

If that wasn't bad enough, the other superior talents suffered more repression than Darren. Their strength could only reach the Spirit Realm if they used their best skills. He thought that the strength of the most powerful superior talent might be still under Mysterious Realm.

Darren's domain and the Blood Dragon Phantom were top-level skills, and so they suffered less suppression in this world. That was why he could exert combat capability equal to the third stage of the Mysterious Realm.

Since it would be hard for Darren to deal with one border mutant, there was no possibility of him handling all these double-headed men single-handedly.

"I have to stop the superior talents from reaching here." Darren didn't want the human superior talents to be rounded up and killed like animals. Having decided on a course of action, he slowly receded from the jungle to look for the other superior talents.

After getting out of the mutants' perception range, Darren flew back at a rapid speed. Dozens of kilometers later, he detected the presence of the superior talents.

Whoosh!

Darren didn't think about the previous issues that had transpired between him and the group as he landed before them.

"Eh? It's him!"

There were more than thirty people in front of Darren. It seemed that the three groups of superior talents had merged.

"He has been possessed by an evil cultivator. Everyone, let's kill him together," barked a superior talent, who was Chad's subordinate.
