Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 106 Forbidden Area

With Elsa in his arms, Darren tried his best to escape.

Suddenly, he sensed someone coming. He had an unmistakably powerful aura. Worse, he wascoming for him.

'What should I do?" Darren thought in panic. Considering his current strength, the most sensiblething to do was to run away. He was not fit enough to fight someone who was above the sixth stageof the Mysterious Realm.

'Oh no, he's coming!" he thought as he felt a chill creep up his spine.

The figure started to approach him.

"Are you trying to get away, brat?" said the old man from far away. Concentrating his strength in hispalm, he hit the lad with it.

Bang!

Despite his best efforts to dodge the blow, Darren was hit strong and hard. He spat out bloodimmediately on impact.

"He is still alive? Looks like this bastard is stronger than I expected,” the old man said in surprise. Hethen gave Darren a more powerful strike.

“Damn it! He is running towards the forbidden area. I must kill him with my next blow!" the old manthought with creased eyebrows. A while later, he found himself closer to his prey approaching adusty palace with a hundred-foot-tall door covered by mysterious runes.

"Go to hell!" the old man cursed as he threw a fist at Darren. His punch contained eighty percent ofhis power.

The vital energy the blow carried caused the dust on the ground to float in the air and shoottowards Darren.

Flustered, Darren tried to concentrate. The demon core inside his elixir field started to stir. Heplanned to use his demonic power to withstand the upcoming blow.

'It looks like that palace is some forbidden area. Perhaps I can hide there, * Darren thought as theedifice caught his eye.

"Get lost!"

Suddenly, just as Darren dashed towards the entrance of the building, a powerful shout resounded.He spat blood again.

Two middle-aged men appeared at the front door, blocking him from entering. They were evenstronger than the man chasing after him

All the while, the tremendous vital energy the elder behind him released was still coming at him. Hefound himself trapped. He could not replace a way to escape his fate at that moment.

"Stop or we will kill you!"

the more powerful man boomed again. His shout was enough to make Darren spit blood again.Darren felt that his bones almost crushed because of its power.

“This is not good. I'm going to die, * Darren thought in desperation.

Seeing the injured Elsa in his arms, he decided to pull himself together. He had to survive this.Wasting no time, he activated his demon core. He took the black armor he got from Wayne out ofhis Space Ring and put it on.

In a flash, he was covered in black scales and sharp spikes appeared on his back.

Bang!

Darren got punched and was thrown into the air.

The faces of the two middle-aged men darkened with terror when they saw Darren flying at thedoor filled with runes.

"Shit!" the two cursed. Darren flew towards the door. Apparently, they could not cross the linedrawn with blood on the ground before them.

Before Darren hit the door, however, he was stopped by an invisible, soft wall and fell to the ground."Thank God he didn't break in there," the two middle-aged men said in relief.

Joseph's grandfather stopped in his tracks and squinted his eyes to get a better view of whathappened.

"That little bastard fell right at the edge of the forbidden area. Still, it seems that he is still alive!" hemurmured.

"Frank, I don't care why you're after him. Get out of here! Anyone who gets close to the forbiddenarea must die,” one of the middle-aged men warned sternly, addressing the old man. The twomiddle-aged men each released an enormously strong aura as a sign to ward him off.

Frank Wu snorted. "That brat did such a horrible thing to my grandson. He must die today. You twoare responsible for guarding the forbidden area and you can't cross that blood line, but I can. Whatwill you do with me if I barge in, eh?" he replied coldly.

"Don't be stupid. There is a reason why this place is forbidden. You know what will happen if peopleget inside!" the guards reminded.

Frank contemplated for a while before saying, "I will kill him the moment he goes out of there.”Then, he turned around and drew a wicked smile. He then bellowed, "Omnipotent Talent Skill, AngrySea Wave!"

An overwhelming wave of vital energy shot towards Darren who was sprawled on the ground.Darren held Elsa closer to his chest, as he looked at her pale face with immense sadness in his eyes.'I don't think I'll survive this. Perhaps this is the end of my life, * he thought.

"How dare you, you old bastard!" the two men cursed at Frank as they panicked.

They didn't expect him to ignore their warnings and use Omnipotent Talent Skill right in front of theforbidden area. Although they were stronger than he was, it was too late for them to fight back. Outof options, they gathered all their vital energy to withstand that blow.

Bang! Bang!

The two men's defenses managed to counteract most of the power from Frank's attack. Theremaining impact of the blow fell on Darren.

With Elsa in his arms, Darren felt as if he was about to pass out.

The force threw him back until he hit the door of the palace. Several scales on his back brokebecause of the wave of impact.

Blood dripped on the floor as he flew towards the entrance. As soon as he hit the door, though,something strange happened.

The golden runes glowed. Then suddenly, Darren and Elsa seemed to have disappeared into a blackhole.

"We're in trouble,” the two middle-aged guards muttered in fear. It was as if they were descendinginto an abyss.

In a cave at the back of the buildings of Dragon Sect, a young man sat cross-legged with his eyesclosed. He barely breathed. He almost seemed dead. Suddenly, his eyes shot open. With a growl, hemorphed into a shade of dragon, left the cave, and soared into the sky.

In the next minute, he appeared in front of the dusty palace with his eyes burning with fury.

His arrival made Frank tremble violently. Panic-stricken, the old man knelt.

"I'm in a lot of trouble! What do I do?" he muttered in a shaking voice as his face turned deathlypale.

A few moments passed but the young man had not said a word. He merely stayed by the entranceof the palace and stared silently.

Frank, who was still on his knees, freaked out because of the eerie silence.

"Holy Lord, that brat maimed my grandson. I was so angry, and I only wanted to teach him alesson,” Frank explained in a trembling voice. He made sure to keep his head down.

Deafening silence enveloped the place again.

Still not receiving any response, the man finally raised his head to look at the sky.

Several figures who exuded an aura as powerful as his suddenly showed up in the sky.

"Scott, you just made a huge mistake,"

a man surrounded by blue lightning said icily.

"Oh, come on, you're overreacting,” a girl standing over a lotus said to her companion. "Butseriously, Scott, you do need to be more careful. You should not let other people inside there again.The rest of us do our job well." She smiled.

"Humph, what if it flees from the forbidden area? Who can defeat it and lock it up again?" the HolyLord of the Blade Holy Land said sternly.

"Don't be so pessimistic. If the eight of us work together, I'm sure we'll manage to put it in prisonagain. Anyway, let's go. Scott, just pay more attention to the forbidden area next time,” the HolyLord of Void Holy Land said.

"He is right. That should be doable.”

The seven Holy Lords stayed in a heated discussion while floating in mid-air, but Scott Ao stayedmotionless as he watched them.

After a long pause, he finally said coldly, "I will enter the forbidden area and take him back.”

"No way!"

the Holy Lords opposed his idea instantly.

"What if you die there? You know how dangerous it is in there!"

"Scott, you're only half a step into the Grand Realm. How can you be so stupid?"

"I've made up my mind," Scott said resolutely. Regardless of their objections, he took a step towardsthe door of the palace.

"Scott, you are so stubborn! Come back!"

The seven figures in the sky flew towards Scott in an attempt to stop him.

To everyone's surprise, the instant Scott lifted his foot to step inside, the golden runes lit up andforced him to step back.

"It refused me!" Scott murmured in shock.
