Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 903

Back in the space passage, Darren and Chaz could barely keep themselves upright as great pains wrack through their bodies.

As they began to fall, the bleak landscape rushed around them.

Eventually, their bodies hit the ground with a bang.

The impact broke several bones in their bodies.

"Huh. The ground here must be really hard. We barely even made a dent on it."

And indeed, even with Chaz wearing his black armor on, the ground appeared untouched. There were no cracks at all.

Darren gingerly sat up and crossed his legs. He began the process of healing by assimilating the spiritual energy. It was obvious how the space passage had done a number on his body.

In the end, it took him an hour to recover.

"What is this place?"

Darren looked around him. It was a barren land with dark clouds hanging forlornly overhead. A cold wind blew, disturbing the stillness of the place every once in a while, and brought a light drizzle. From afar, the pale yellow outlines of the mountains loomed over the horizon. It was as if this whole place had already withered.

"It's different from how Chandler's scrolls describe it to be."

The scrolls that Chandler gave to him had descriptions of all the cities. But he hadn't read anything that looked like this place.

"When we were passing through the channel, I think I heard someone saying that it's the wrong place... So maybe we are teleported to the wrong place?" Chaz murmured.

"I heard that, too, but I thought it was all just in my head," Darren admitted as he recalled what the old man had said.

"Well, that's it then. We've been sent to the wrong place," Chaz said. The disappointment in his voice was palpable. He had waited many years for a chance to enter the eighteen cities. But now, with just an unlucky accident, he wouldn't be able to fulfill his dreams.

"Don't worry. We still passed through the same passage that will lead us to the eighteen cities. Maybe we just landed on the wrong place," Darren said, trying to console his friend.

According to the scrolls, there were also some large desolate areas surrounding the eighteen cities. These places were said to be so dangerous that even the masters of the eighteen cities did not dare roam these lands.

Chaz started to feel a little bit better at Darren's reassurance.

"What should we do now?" Chaz asked.

"Let's just look around. Maybe we'll meet someone along the way who knows the way to the eighteen cities."

"Alright."

They got back on their feet and began their trek in the deserted area.

After a while, they were shocked to find a peculiar crowd of black creatures.

Back in the forbidden area

Barnes and the Inner Fiend were still locked in a heated battle. Each time Barnes unleashed a ferocious attack, the Inner Fiend attempted to retreat. It seemed like he didn't dare attack Barnes at all.

"Barnes! If you attack me, we're all going to die! Why are you being so stubborn?"

Anxiety warred on the Inner Fiend's face as the thunder punishment began to descend. When it came, everything would be gone.

"I'll kill you!"

Barnes ignored the Inner Fiend's warning and continued to deliver his mighty blows.

Dark red lightning began to fall down from the sky as the clouds gave up altogether. It couldn't bear contain the immense violence of the lightning anymore.

They cracked against the ground like a lasso.

All living creatures were overwhelmed by its oppressive aura. It was as if death itself was pushing down on them. Nobody could escape its choking hold. All anyone could do was wait for death to come. It frightened them witless.

Finley and the others could only watch the pandemonium from afar. All of them felt helpless, knowing that no one could survive such punishment.

Suddenly, the battle in the forbidden area died down.

With a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, Barnes looked up the sky and said, "Destroy them all! Destroy everything!"

The first fiend ancestor's arm shook with rage and indignation.

The Inner Fiend was struck dumb with fear. He was paralyzed with the overwhelming thought of his own failures and inabilities.

The first bolt of dark red lightning pierced through the sky with a terrifying crack.
