Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 939

The waves roared as they surged along the blood river. Darren and the others realized they'd be whisked away if they tried to cross it directly, and they were forced to flee downstream instead.

"Get them!"

The group of warriors chasing them divided into three groups. Each group held a Blood Suppressing Bead, and rushed towards them into the blood river.

"Darren, they're running at us with great speed. I'm worried we won't be able to escape," said Chaz, nervously.

"Don't worry. We're going to be fine," Darren replied confidently.

"Assimilate!" Keeping his pace up, Darren activated his assimilating skill.

All of a sudden, several booming noises came from the direction of the river.

A huge ray of blinding light came shining from the blood river.

Darren was delighted to witness what was left of the holy emperor's power.

Suddenly, piercing howls began to emerge from the river, one after the other.

Terrifying blood red figures began to rush out like a swarm of bees.

"What in the world? Why are there still living creatures in the blood river?"

Darren was shocked. As the mysterious creatures emerged, what was left of the holy emperor's power in the blood river no longer gathered towards him. The creatures were absorbing it.

As they gorged on the holy emperor's power, their aura became stronger and their bloodlust heightened.

"What's going on?" Darren ceased. It seemed he'd just be helping the strange creatures if he continued to gather the holy emperor's power. The creatures would all assimilate it just by their strength in numbers, leaving Darren with none of it.

On the bright side, the group of warriors that were chasing them were now surrounded by the mysterious creatures. None of them seemed to be near Darren and his friends.

"There are too many of these powerful creatures. What should we do?"

The group of warriors were extremely surprised. These blood red creatures had fangs and were similar to fish. They all had the strength comparable to the peak of four-tribulation junior holy warriors. The number of them was probably hundreds of thousands or even more!

With so many mysterious creatures, how could they contend against them?

Luckily Darren had stopped his assimilating power. Otherwise, if these creatures could absorb more holy emperor's power, they would be as powerful as five-tribulation junior holy warriors!

The sound of quick scampering rang through.

The army of mysterious creatures swarmed towards the crowd.

As the creatures passed through the crowd, it seemed like instantly some warriors turned into bones—as if their flesh had been completely devoured.

"Run away!"

The rest of them ran in a complete frenzy. One wrong move could cost them their lives.

Panicked shouts began to fill the air.

Any warrior that lagged behind was ripped into shreds as their bones sank into the blood river.

"Oh my God! Escape is impossible! There are too many of them!"

Those who wanted to escape began to get desperate. As they tried to run away, a swarm of the mysterious creatures jumped at them from all directions with their fangs bared. There was no escaping from them.

"We've got no other choice. Kill them! Kill them all!" one of the warriors shouted.

Since escape was impossible, every warrior displayed their most powerful means of attack. Colors of light shone one after the other as ten-thousand-foot waves rose from the river with every swoop of a powerful attack. Many creatures were being annihilated with every attack.

They soon began to notice that their efforts bore no fruit. No matter how many they killed, it seemed like the swarm wasn't slowing down. The creatures ended up killing a few more warriors from this attempt.

On Darren's side everything was still. None of the creatures were getting close to them.

Darren noticed that every time one of the mysterious creatures died, a faint holy emperor's power pervaded.

"Assimilate." At this point, Darren decided to activate his assimilating power again.

A faint holy emperor's power gathered and rushed into Darren at quick speed. He could feel it as it flowed into his mind.
