Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 514

Darren could not help but feel worry etching its way into his heart. The purple mutant was a forceful enemy—he already knew that much. Still hurrying along, Darren began to wonder how mighty the king who the black mutant had mentioned would be. According to their discussion, their king was even able to defeat the lord of the Grand Void Manor in the Talent City.

In reality, the lord of the Grand Void Manor was just a haunted soul. Like a ghost, it evaporated into nothingness when Darren became the new master of the Ancient Void Battlefield. However, Darren was the only one privy to this fact.

Darren estimated that the lord of the Grand Void Manor must have been a warrior at the level of a seven-star grand warrior. Still, he was probably weaker than the Shadow Emperor, as the Shadow Emperor existed in the small world created by a holy emperor, which would add to his strength.

Lost in his musings, Darren was flying towards the edge of the area. With the information he had overheard, his mind was racing a mile a minute. Nevertheless, he decided to calm his mind for the time being, as leaving in secret was his priority at that point in time. After all, it would be wise to avoid fighting with the border mutants at the present moment.

Darren kept flying in the same direction, and it didn't take him long to finally leave the land that was controlled by the mutants.

"What the hell is that?"

Suddenly, Darren felt a strange and terrifying aura that was approaching him. The air around him dropped in temperature. Without much warning, it was suddenly as cold as if he had fallen straight into a freezing cellar made of ice. The cold was so heavy and pressing that it made Darren shudder.

'Damn it! Is it the purple mutant?'

Darren's heart missed a beat or two the second that thought entered his mind. He hurriedly rallied his force to hide his own aura and came to a halt. Quietly, with a racing heart, he remained in the same spot and just observed his surroundings.

After a few seconds, Darren felt a hand land on his shoulder and give it a little pat.

Immediately, Darren's pulse quickened and it felt like his heart jumped straight into his throat. He had not anticipated something like this. The thing that made him even more nervous was the fact that he didn't sense anybody approaching him. All he could feel was the strange aura in the air. But this person had snuck up on him and even patted his shoulder without him noticing any of it! No matter who this person was, his ability was already far beyond Darren's expectations.

"Who are you?" shouted Darren, trying to get a sense of control back.

Without waiting another second he moved his arms and launched a blade strike and a sword strike separately, using both of his hands for each action.

Though Darren's attacking force was horrifying, it disappeared quietly like a drop of water dripping into the ocean. And then it was as if it had never existed at all.

"Hush, dude."

Darren heard a familiar, soft voice speaking at this critical moment. With hope blooming in his heart, he quickly turned around to check who it was. The moment he saw the familiar face his whole body relaxed.

Standing in front of him was a young man in a white robe. To his surprise, the young man's face, which was usually rather cold and stern on most days, was bearing a smile.
