Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 954

There was an air of pride and fearlessness around the eighteen Governors as they flew.

"It's an honor to finally meet you, Barnes the Holy. Also, I would gladly fight by your side in the incoming battle."

"Sir, your name has been known to us since childhood, and everyone here has grown up looking up to you. It's a great honor to meet you today."

The Governors eagerly fawned over Barnes.

They had finally arrived to the northern part of the eighteen cities after flying nonstop for three days and nights. This was an area that they hadn't explored yet. Looking around now, there was nothing but grass and mist.

"Sir, where is the fiend hiding? Let's all work together and tear it to pieces!"

They all had stopped whatever they were doing to assist Barnes in his search for the fiend.

"Don't worry, everyone. The fiend is just hidden around here. I shall go and investigate first," Barnes said.

"Very well, sir. We'll wait for you here. Just call for us if you ever find the fiend. We'll come to your aid as fast as we can. Be careful," one of the Governors said boldly.

"Thank you very much for your offer. I shall make amends for my fault if I can find the fiend. Those four brats won't be able to bite me like mad dogs anymore." Barnes grinned, showing a set of very white teeth.

"Those four guys are too arrogant just because they consider themselves as the greatest warriors of human race. I can't stand them either," someone responded, laughing.

"I shall go now, everyone. Goodbye."

Turning into a shadow, Barnes crossed over to the desolate grassland.

After flying for over thirty thousand kilometers, he finally decided to land. A cold smile found its way onto his face.

"Master, those humans are here. Have you arranged the Blood Refining Array?" There was no one there with Barnes, so it looked like he was talking to himself.

Dark fog rose from the wilderness. It swirled and curled into the air, bringing with it a mix of the fiend's aura. It was as if a legion of fiends were headed this way.

A short moment later, the smoke turned into a horned-creature with blood-colored scales.

His eyes were icy cold and his aura was void of any feelings. It was as if he was dead and had turned into something metal.

He raised his hand and black fiendish aura flowed down to his pointed fingertips. A big tripod with an engraved beast head landed in front of the creature.

Dark fire burned brightly at the bottom of the tripod and thick, black smoke curled upwards from it. Around it, the air seemed to be boiling.

Barnes was overjoyed to see this. The Blood Refining Array had now been set up. Those humans wouldn't stand a chance against him. If this plan worked, this ritual would improve his master's strength, and his master would help him transform into living creature. He would then be free to live in this world.

This so-called Barnes was simply just a drop of the real Barnes' blood essence acquired by the first fiend ancestor. It was the fiend's creation.

The original Barnes was so powerful that even his blood essence was strong. The fake one also looked so real that even his emotions and actions could mimic the real Barnes.

"Lure them here," the blood-red creature ordered.

"Yes, master." But just as he was about to turn around, he said, "Don't forget. After we're done here, you'll turn me into a real living creature."

Instead of a response, he was met with a ferocious fiendish aura.

The fake Barnes dared not say anything else.

He went ahead and flew towards the humans.
