Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 965

Darren and Hailey were startled by the voice resounding in their minds.

'What was that?' they thought.

Yahya was their ruthless rival in this test. It meant that the young man named Yahya was the master of the tomb—the holy emperor with three conflicting martial arts skills!

The mysterious powerful ancient holy emperor had a miserable childhood, which made Darren sigh.

It reminded Darren of his own experiences when he was young as he, too, was troubled with many difficulties during that time. However, those hardships had gradually made him stronger as a man.

"Yahya, I feel sorry for what happened to you. Why don't we become friends?"

Hailey said before Darren could even let out a word.

She knew that Yahya would become their enemy sooner or later, and he was already more powerful than them. Thus, she devised a plan to deceive the young man before beating him in the test.

Her sly words were a tactic in order to buy them more time.

Yahya smiled. "Oh. You are so beautiful. Of course I would like to make friends with you, but he has to die," he said as he pointed at Darren.

"What? But why? Why should you kill him?" asked Hailey with a worried tone.

"I don't like him and he doesn't deserve you," Yahya said coldly.

"No, you misunderstood us. We are just friends!" Even with a half senseless smile on her face, Hailey had enchanted the young man with her charm and beauty.

Darren felt very uncomfortable hearing their conversation. 'What the hell? This little punk thinks he has a chance with Hailey? Do I have to rely on Hailey's beauty to survive?' he thought. This made him extremely uneasy.

"I'm so sorry, Darren. I just want to stall for time. There's no way we can beat him now," Hailey told Darren through her spiritual sense, as if she had seen through Darren's mind.

"Run away with me. Don't play tricks. I don't like it," Darren answered her directly.

"But… He is too powerful." Hailey bit her lips.

"The worst result is death. If I fail the test, then I will accept my fate. You don't have to take advantage of your beauty to buy time for us."

Upon hearing Darren's reproachful words, Hailey felt ashamed of herself. She felt embarrassed in front of the man she loved.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that," Hailey then replied.

"It's all right. Let's go!"

Darren suddenly held Hailey's hand and dashed forward.

Yahya was stunned with Darren's behavior. 'Is he an idiot?' he thought. 'An attempt to escape in front of me?'

He knew that his strength was greater than Darren's.

The young man watched Darren and Hailey as they ran away like scalded cats. The idea of the chase had intrigued him. He thought it would be interesting to track them before killing them, as if he was hunting his prey. Thus, he decided to give them a head start.

"Just for a while," Yahya said to himself.

Darren and Hailey tried their best to run away, but they failed to make any headway. After several minutes, they had run only just a few kilometers.

"Darren, we can't escape from him. Let's go back and fight him instead," said Hailey as she tried to catch her breath.

"Just because we can't run away doesn't mean we can't survive." Darren's voice was filled with his usual confidence.

In fact, when Darren first saw Yahya's eyes, he had a feeling that the young man would not let them go. Thus, he had been thinking about a plot to save both of their lives.

Afterwards, Darren focused all his attention on his own Space Ring.
