Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 848

The blue-skinned man's eyes darted around the mining area. Nothing that had once surrounded him was left standing. He had been afraid of this and now that dust and smoke was stinging his eyes, the blue-skinned man felt doom overcome him.

Despite the blue-skinned man having had control over the mining area, Darren had destroyed everything. The blue-skinned man had thought he could easily defeat Darren, but Darren was clearly more powerful than anticipated.

"What's wrong? Did I hurt your feelings?"

Darren raised his head, looking at him scornfully.

"You!" The blue-skinned man felt anger rush into his body so fast that his entire body began trembling. His fists clenched and his teeth gritted back and forth against each other. It seemed like the ground beneath him was quaking. Deep in his heart, he felt uneasy about the consequences.

Even if he were to make it out of this alive, his life would end because the mining area had been destroyed, and the Death Palace would not be able to forgive him.

The whole reason behind the Death Palace's painstaking efforts all these years was to acquire these crystals.

Darren stood casually with his arms crossed. He understood that the ball was in his court and the blue-skinned man could do nothing. Extending his spiritual sense, he probed the multitude of particles that had scattered around the mine.

'Hmm... Should I destroy all these crystals?' Darren thought for a while. Finally, he decided to keep the crystals until he had killed the blue-skinned man and collected them.

"Go to hell!''

The blue-skinned man felt anger jump in him again but his heart sank as he knew he was doomed. He would die in this mine or outside of it, and the choice was not his to make.

Suddenly, the blue-skinned man moved. Using his full strength, he left a gigantic crack in the earth that spread far into the distance. Pieces of rock and chunks of dirt fell away into the inky blackness.

Whoosh!

Darren leaped from the ground just before it swallowed him up and flew into the void above him.

"You're running away?"

the blue-skinned man asked before he laughed and chased after Darren.

'Perfect, ' Darren thought, smiling widely. The blue-skinned man's strength was equivalent to that of a human junior holy warrior, and combing their two skill levels in a fight would have destroyed this land even further. That was why he flew to the void.

After Darren had gone ten thousand kilometers into the void, he stopped.

Bang!

A dark gold internal force appeared and shattered the space, just narrowly missing the blue-skinned man.

"What?" The blue-skinned man couldn't believe what he was seeing. Darren's power was so strong that he couldn't see a way out. An ominous feeling spread all the way to his extremities.

As more attacks flew his way, the blue-skinned man didn't try to dodge the attacks. Instead, he pulled out an axe and swung it in front of him. From the source of the axe's impact, a dark blue force rushed towards Darren.

Bang!

As the two forces collided, colors shot out in every direction and Darren's dark golden internal force glowed a little brighter. It seemed it had engulfed the other and become stronger from it.

Like a flash, the blue-skinned man dashed towards Darren. From all directions, tens of thousands of shadows sprung towards Darren due to the fast speed the blue-skinned man traveled at.

In a second, tens of thousands of attacks were flung at Darren.

Darren raised his hands and swatted away the attacks like they were flies.

"You are too weak to hurt me." Darren snorted with disdain. He could kill the blue-skinned man without much effort.

"Augmented Attack Bloodline!''

The aura that was pulsating around Darren's body increased sharply, and his blade and sword intents reached their limits.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The aura spread out, releasing blades and swords that shot into the void and left flawless tracks of light behind. Cuts that resembled wounds were gashed into the void.

"Argh!"

The figure of the blue-skinned man slowed down and he grabbed at his skin. Covering his entire body were small cuts that reached all the way to his exposed bone.

"Human, I will tear you to pieces!"

Closing his eyes and clamping his jaws together, the blue-skinned man reached down and began peeling off his skin in large strips. Agony flashed across his face but he carried on until he was a man with no skin, dripping with blood.

Afterwards, to Darren's horror, he picked up the pieces of torn skin and swallowed them whole.

"What are you doing?" Darren screwed up his face in disgust.

"Howl!"

Just when Darren thought it couldn't get any worse, the blue-skinned man let out a howl of pain, and gleaming thorns poked out of his body. Darren could hear the sound of them breaking through the flesh from where he was standing. The blue-skinned man had gotten very close to the senior stage of the Holy Realm.

"Wow!" Darren didn't know how to approach the situation.

However, he knew the blue-skinned man posed no threat to him, even in this disgusting state.

After all, if Darren couldn't defeat him, he could always escape within seconds.

Of course, there was no need for Darren to escape because he was going to win.

"Fine! If you want to be like that, I'll show you!"

Darren spun on the spot and transformed into a dragon. It was the easiest way he knew how to deal with the situation.

The dark dragon that reared up on its legs in front of the blue-skinned man roared ferociously, causing him to gasp.

"You are a dragon!"

Darren ignored him, everyone always had the same reaction. He lowered himself and dragged his tail back and forth on the ground.

Each time it swept by, pieces of the space were destroyed and sent flying.

Bang!

Unable to escape the large, trunk-like tail, the blue-skinned man was knocked off his feet and thrown backward.

Collecting himself, the blue-skinned man appeared to not be injured from the impact. He stood and his entire body became rigid as he waited for Darren.
