Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 324

"Bryan, I know you want to kill me as much as I want to kill you. But it's not the time we settle the hatred between us!" said Darren through clenched teeth. Since Bryan had taken Diana as a hostage, Darren dared not to rush into a fight with him at this moment. He knew that saving Diana from the hands of his enemies would be even more difficult if he defeated or even killed Bryan.

"Bring Diana to the Lotus Holy Land on the third day of the seventh lunar month. I'll have a duel with you on that day to settle all the grudges between us. Only one of us will survive while the other one will be killed without mercy. You will never see me again if you dare hurt the Holy Lord Diana. Understand?" Darren spoke those words in an attempt of securing Diana's safety and saving her in the future. He knew well that Bryan hated him so much that he would never find peace unless he killed him with his own hands.

"Do you think you can escape your doom in your fight with our Holy Lord, bastard?" said the Chief Elder, standing arrogantly by Bryan's side.

"What a noisy beast! Go to hell!" roared Darren. He turned around to swing his sword at the Chief Elder of the Blade Holy Land. One moment, Darren's sword flashed in the air and the next moment, the Chief Elder's legs had been cut off.

"No!" Seeing the mishap of his companion both enraged and frightened the other elder. To protect himself from being attacked by Darren, he rushed towards Bryan without delay.

"Holy Lord, please kill that bastard and take revenge for us!" The elder wept as he trembled by the Holy Lord's side.

Bryan's face contorted in extreme fury—the scene was an absolute atrocity. He then immediately turned around to launch a surprise attack at Darren.

Instead of darting towards Bryan and warding off his attack, Darren swiftly backed off to avoid the fight and flew away at a fast speed.

"Don't come after me, Bryan. Let's fight at the ruins of the Lotus Holy Land on the third day of the seventh lunar month if you want to kill me!" Darren called out as he fleeted away.

Bryan no doubt was able to move as fast as Darren, but it would be hard for him to catch up to Darren now as the latter had escaped in advance of him. However, still blinded by fury, Bryan chased after Darren with all his might because he couldn't bear to let his enemy get away from under his nose.

"What a stubborn man! Can't you just stop and let me go?" Darren had noticed Bryan closely behind him. Getting tired of the pursuit, he activated the Blood Dragon Phantom skill to produce eight avatars of himself.

Every avatar, each owning a powerful blade and sword intent as well, ran towards Bryan and launched attacks at him, one after another.

The avatars forced Bryan back several dozen feet away, preventing him from advancing any further. While Bryan was stuck fighting with the avatars, Darren continued his escape and soon disappeared from view.

The sound of Darren's laughter lingered in the air. Seeing his enemy escape made Bryan furious. He thrashed about with the insanity of a madman and roared with the ferocity of a wild beast. "Darren, you bastard! You'll be dead on our fight at the Lotus Holy Land on the third day of the seventh lunar month! I'll slice every single piece of your flesh until you breathe out your last breath!"
