Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 884

Five days later, the black-armored man found an opportunity to sneak away from the Misty Emperor. He appeared at the cave where Darren was imprisoned.

"Darren, where are the others?"

The black-armored man was surprised to find that the others had disappeared.

"I beat them to a near-death state and put them in my Space Ring."

"What? !" The black-armored man was shocked.

"They are not dead. There is still a chance to save them," Darren explained with a shrug.

The black-armored man was speechless. And so, he nodded and said, "So that's how it is. I agree that this is the only way to protect them. Now, are we ready to escape?"

"That's the plan." Darren nodded.

"Great! I've been waiting for this day, for a long time! Finally, I will be free!" The black-armored man was so excited that his voice began to tremble.

Darren didn't know what to say. He knew that his lie would eventually be discovered. Until then, it was perhaps best not to tell the black-armored man.

"Have you already planned the escape route?" Darren asked when the silence began to gnaw at him.

"Yes! When we escape from the Space-time Palace, you'll help me to cut off the Soul Control Skill, okay?" The black-armored man smiled as he patted Darren's shoulder.

Aware that he couldn't do what the black-armored man had requested, Darren just nodded silently.

"Let's go!" The black-armored man's eyes sparkled with the excitement coursing through him.

As he had mastered a way to open the prison cave, he safely took Darren outside.

Haloes of varied, dazzling light illuminated the sky. Darren was awe-struck with the beautiful scene.

"This place is full of time traps. Once you fall in, you will never get out. Follow me closely," the black-armored man warned Darren.

"I understand."

When they flew past some colorful vortexes, Darren could feel the traces of time.

As they continued their journey forward, they met no obstacles, not even a guard.

After a while, a huge black vortex appeared before them.

"Once we fly into the vortex, we will have escaped the Space-time Palace."

The black-armored man stopped and gaped at the black vortex. Hope blossomed in his heart as the thrill of freedom coursed through him.

Whoosh.

Unable to contain his excitement, the black-armored man headed for the vortex at his fastest speed.

"Why are you standing still? Hurry up! We will die if he finds out." The black-armored man urged Darren, who was staring blankly at the vortex.

"Uh." Darren nodded as he followed the black-armored man.

"I'm finally free!" Exhilaration was written all over his face as the man in the black armor rushed toward the black vortex.

Bang!

Several runes suddenly flew out from the black vortex and collided with the black-armored man.

"What?" The man in the black armor was shocked. "The passageway has been sealed!"

Darren's heart sank. All this while, he had been morose about hiding the truth from the black-armored man. However, he had been secretly hoping that their escape plan was foolproof.

"Someone is trying to escape through the passageway. Hurry up! We need to investigate."

A group of blue-skinned men patrolling in the near distance rushed toward the vortex when they felt that something was wrong.

"Run!"

the black-armored man screeched at Darren before he turned and flew off.

"What should we do now?" Darren exclaimed at the retreating figure.

"Hide! We must hide!" The black-armored man whimpered. "Darren, help me cut off the Soul Control Skill. If the Misty Emperor finds out that I was trying to escape, I will be damned."

If the Lord of the Space-time Palace learned that someone had entered the passageway, his first instinct would be to check on Darren. Upon finding that Darren had absconded, he would know that the black-armored man was responsible.

"What?" Darren hemmed and hawed, unable to speak.

"What's wrong? Bro, I risked my life for you. Please, help me this time," the black-armored man pleaded.

"Buddy, I can't lie to you anymore. I'm sorry, but I don't have that ability."

Darren's gaze fell to the ground as he admitted to his deceit. As he could not bear it anymore, he decided to tell the truth.

Buzz.

The black-armored man trembled when he processed Darren's confession. A moment later, he felt as though the sky and the earth were spinning.
