Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 305

Sensing danger, Darren cast his Blade and Sword Domain and looked around warily.

"Come out!" he barked.

There was a croaky laughter. "At last someone had come. It's been years," an old gravelly voice warbled.

The purple mist gradually dissipated and a ragged old man came into view.

The old man's hair was untidy and long, dragging on the ground. He was gaunt and his skin, corroded by the mist, was unsightly.

"Who are you?" Darren's brows were furrowed into a scowl.

The old man brushed his tangled hair aside and revealed a face as hollow as a skeleton. He looked at Darren, with a steady stream of muddy tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Who am I? Ha! Who am I?" The old man laughed in tears, looking like a madman.

Darren did not know that there was a human being on this island. There were even two other sets of bleached skeletons right next to the old man. There had apparently been three people stranded on this island.

"Sir, do you need any help?" Darren asked, eyes still watching the old man vigilantly.

The old man continued to laugh for a while before replying, "Yes, very much. You must have a jade card with you for teleportation. Give it to me, boy, give it to me!"

At that moment, Darren saw mixed feelings from the old man's muddy eyes—happiness, sadness, and killing intent.

"Sir, I can cut those chains that are binding you, but I have only one jade card for teleportation. I'm afraid I can't give it to you." Darren tried to explain. A few moments later, he suddenly found himself confined to the old man's domain, unable to escape.

"Boy, I've been waiting so long for this day. Do you have a family? I will give them endless gifts when I get out of here. In return, you may rest here." The old man stared wide-eyed at Darren, his festering hands trembling with a mixture of excitement and apprehension.

"There seems to be no need for us to go on talking, sir."

Looking into the old man's expectant and murderous eyes, Darren knew that no matter what he said, the old man was determined to kill him for the jade card.

Darren's momentum exploded with a loud rumble.

He simultaneously released the flame blade intent and the ice sword intent, causing the whole deserted island to tremble. The rumble of the blade intent and the sword intent he released was almost powerful enough to pierce the sky.

"Blade intent and sword intent!"

the old man shouted, obviously very surprised and excited at the same time.

Tears started spilling from his eyes once again. It reminded him of another remarkable figure as he stared at Darren.

He then waved his hand and the blade intent and sword intent that were coming his way instantly fell into pieces and dissipated.

"What?!" Darren's eyes widened in shock, for the old man to have been able to just easily wave away his attack demonstrated that he was most probably a grand warrior.

With Darren's current realm, he had no chance of defeating a grand warrior, even with the flame blade intent and the ice sword intent.

'This is bad. I still would be no match for him even with my full strength. Even if I use the fusion power of the blade intent and the sword intent, I won't be able to bring him down because of the great gap between my realm and his. What should I do?' Starting to be on edge, Darren racked his brain for some countermeasures.

'If only Water Kylin were here, ' he thought. After all, Water Kylin was now comparable to a three-star grand warrior, and could absolutely defeat the old man. Unfortunately, he had no idea where that beast was.

'That beast is always away at the most critical moments. I'll definitely teach him a lesson once he comes back!' Darren frowned in frustration.

The old man only stared and watched excitedly as Darren grew frustrated.

"The momentum really is like his," the old man muttered, tears streaming down his face.

"Sir, why don't we have a talk? I'm willing to listen," Darren hesitantly suggested.

"Ah!" The old man suddenly let out a roar, holding his head as he dropped onto the ground. He gritted his teeth in agony.

"He's dead. He's dead! Kill the boy! Kill the boy!" the old man suddenly exclaimed as he jerked up his head, his eyes bloodshot.

The earth began to shake and countless rays of strong forces burst around Darren, making him dizzy.
