Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 489

An unnatural chill crept through their skins like goose bumps, and a stench smell of something rotting lingered through their senses. Inside the dungeon, where the air was damp, and the light was dim, Darren, together with the grand-elders, sifted through the blood-drained, withered body.

After being repeatedly attacked, that body did not show any deformities nor injuries—still a stiff, dead-like body. Yet, what bothered them was, all of them, including Darren, could hear clearly and vividly the snoring sound that revealed from the body, and even the loud beating of the body's heart.

Everyone went cautious and vigilant, preparing themselves for anything unpredictable. On one end, Darren patiently waited for a short moment. Then, finding nothing dangerous, he took a deep breath and was about to go and free his sister.

However, after he took a series of steps, an odd, whistling sound was heard.

Out of nowhere, a dark green attack was abruptly launched in the air, making them gasped in surprise. The runes were whirling and tumbling in the air creating a towering mist and soon rushed into Louis's head, right between his eyes.

"Ahhhhrggghhh!" immediately after the potent attack hit him, Louis moaned painfully.

With the impact of the colossal force, the elder fell on the ground as aftermath. His head was drenched in blood as the veins on his forehead twitched horribly. After a few seconds, he struggled on the ground bearing the agonizing pain. He had his hands covering his eyes for the blinding pain made him see nothing at all. In a split second, he lay still and motionless on the ground—he was definitely dead.

"Louis!"

Shocked and dazed at what happened all of a sudden, the other two grand-elders bellowed in the pain of losing their fellow.

Both of them went over to revive Louis back to life, hopefully. However, the moment they sensed that his soul had gone and turned into nothing but part of the endless void in the afterlife, the two grand-elders gave their hopes up.

Louis had a powerful soul, yet now he was killed in a blink of an eye. Darren and the other two grand-elders, who were just behind Louis, weren't able to see who killed him nor, where the attack was coming. 'Whoever it is must be really powerful. Who can the killer be?' the cultivators had the same thoughts in mind.

Witnessing such a horrible death was like an insult for Horace. Thus, he made up his mind and thought that he did not have the leisure of the time to mourn for his brother. Instead, Horace secured Louis's body in his spatial treasure and looked around cautiously with tears in his eyes.

"Horace, Louis was killed just like that! He was killed as if he was just like a mosquito—one slap and then gone! He's dead! Our enemy is too powerful!" as he drew near to Horace, Rocky fearfully exclaimed with tears in his eyes.

"We don't have time to be sad right now. Master, hurry, and free your sister now. I will open a space passage for you so that you may escape from here!"

Looking at Darren this time, Horace urged him to waste no time and be quick in saving his sister. Then, Horace concentrated on cutting with his rule power, the thread condensed by rule power that bound Belle to captivity.

"Roar!"

As they were about to free Belle, at that very instant, the blood-colored body suddenly opened his eyes, showing the golden lights in his eyes.
