Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 134 The Confrontation

As her heart started to palpitate upon hearing that manly voice, Belle was suddenly stunned. Withunexplained nostalgia, she felt eerie yet immersed with his voice. It was as if the voice triggeredsomething in her memory, which should be impossible by now. Goosebumps were on her skin asthe voice was familiar to her.

"You... who are you? Do I know you?"

Belle asked softly, neglecting the strange feelings messing up in her state.

"Knowing my name would not benefit you. You must know that this competition will continue, sodon't give up right away so easily. Alright?" Darren answered with a softer tone.

"Continue? How should we continue? We are a hopeless case.”

Belle stood up and looked at the masked man. Tears in her eyes streamed down her rosy cheeks,making Darren's heart soften a bit.

"This competition is obviously pointless. How should we continue? And how could we win?" Bellewhined more as her shrilling voice echoed in the square. Her mental state was unstable and shaken,close to insanity.

"Tell me mister, who will show mercy to my master and save her life? Of course, no one will," shesaid and lost almost all of her strength, making her kneel on the ground. Her cries became wilder.As Belle lost her composure already, Diana's face cooled down. Belle's breakdown was so intensethat she had no choice but to restrain herself from bursting out either. She took a glance at Belle,stepped on the green lotus and floated towards her. With a cold tune, she commanded, "Get upnow, Belle."

But Belle cried as a response to Diana as if she had forgotten everything that was happening now.The only thing left to her that she could think of was desperation.

After a while, Diana bowed her head and stared at Belle. She was hesitant but what must be doneshould be done. With an infernal light flashing in her eyes, her thunder-like voice screamed, "Colin,get the magic spring water for me!"

After this contest, the three Ancient Families would send the magic spring water to the Lotus HolyLand whether they won or not. The significance of this gambling was just to decide which familywould Belle belong to. Otherwise, the Ancient Families would not require the contest to be attendedonly by the outer disciples. Thus, they all brought the magic spring water with them, only to bestolen by Diana right now.

Everyone was surprised with Diana's command. Some were wide-eyed, while some dropped theirjaws in too much shock.

However, hearing the Holy Lord's command made Colin doubtful. He looked at Diana intensivelyand dubiously and asked, "Madam, what do you mean?"

"Grab!" Diana answered abruptly. As Diana's cold voice came out and lingered on the square, sheimmediately commanded right after, "Where are the Left Guard and the Right Guard and the fourelders? Get the magic spring water for me as I commanded. Kill everyone who resists! No mercy!"Everyone was now in a panic. With the command of the Holy Lord, several people with strongbreaths came from the air and landed on the square.

"You wench! How dare you!"

The chiefs of the three Ancient Families changed their faces dramatically and rushed to the air insuccession. Fighting was the only resort now.

"Diana Bi, how foolish can you be? Do you think that with the strength of our three families, we willbe terrified of you? Not even a chance. You have to wake up and think clearly about theconsequences of doing so!"

However, Diana was torpid, ignoring their threats. She commanded eagerly, "Grab them!"

A look of coldness flashed across Diana's face. The blue yarn dress waved in the wind caused by herstrong momentum and made her look more likely to depart from this mortal world. Everything goteven tenser.

The atmosphere had become intense to the extreme, and the momentum of the strong forcesemanated in the big square and gusts of fierce wind arose. And even the sky seemed to becomegloomy.

"Madam, please think twice. Your mercy will be appreciated a lot."

At this time, an old man in a gray robe came and knelt in front of Diana with one of his legs as asign of respect.

With reverence, he continued, "The three Ancient Families have lasted for countless years withnumerous inheritances, and their implications are profound. Madam, please reminisce about howthe Ancient Dragon Holy Land was replaced by the Dragon Sect? Once the war begins, I'm afraidthe two sides will both bleed like rivers. Please reconsider these more, for our Holy Land.” The oldman pleaded, kneeling down and saluting deeply.

"The Ancient Dragon Holy Land?"

All of a sudden, Colin became nervous in his heart, recalling a story that had been handed down totoday. It was famous folklore up until now.

That was more than a thousand years ago. At that time, there was no Dragon Sect in the Holy Land,the one was called the Ancient Dragon Holy Land.

As the legend told, the Holy Lord of the Ancient Dragon Holy Land made a great breakthrough oneday that he entered the Grand Realm. He thought that he was invincible and said that he wanted toconquer all the forces in the Holy Land. Unfortunately, he met the ancestors of the Ancient Familiesin the first war. The capabilities that he possessed were challenged by the ancestors of AncientFamilies.

At that time, the three chiefs of the Ancient families had a hard fight with the Holy Lord of theAncient Dragon Holy Land. At last, the Holy Lord was killed by the ancestors of the Ancient Familiesvictoriously. Even the Ancient Dragon Holy Land was destroyed awfully. The invincible AncientDragon Holy Land was defeated.

Although today's three chiefs of the Ancient Families were weaker than their ancestors, there was arumor that made none of the eight Holy Lands could be not dread of them. That was to say that thethree ancestors of the Ancient Families had not died yet and still lived in the world!

If the three ancestors were still alive, their strength would be incalculable. Nobody knew howhorrible they could become. No one would dare to challenge them with petty tricks. Hence, for somany years, no force had dared to really offend the Ancient Families, even the currently recognizedstrongest Holy Lord, Landon.

"Diana Bi, we cannot defeat you in solo combat, but if you want to fight with three of us, it'simpossible!”

It was strange that the three Ancient Families were always in dispute with each other, but once theyencountered enemies, they would stand out at the same time and become very close.

Then, the chiefs of the three Ancient Families suddenly broke out with great momentum because ofwrath to Diana. The atmosphere was now hideous.

"Divine Ape Change!"

Among them, the chief of the Wei Clan could not hold his temper anymore and burst into a loudshout, which seemed to come from ancient times. The clash had clearly started now.

With too much eagerness, he rose to the height of a thousand feet and became a fierce ancientgiant ape.

"Howl! Who dares to fight with me?"

The giant ape, full of infernal breath, shouted out toward the sky, and the sound wave made themountain tremble. The whole world was entirely disturbed.

"Clive, don’t get excited!”

The other two chiefs rushed out to persuade him. But it was too late. After all, once the war started,the situation could no longer be reversed. It was tough to revoke and revert everything from thebeginning.

However, Diana was a master close to the Grand Realm. If the war really started, whether they wonor not, it was certain that the blood would flow all over the land.

Boom!

Suddenly, a purple thunder flashed in the sky, and a figure was hidden in the thunder and lightningsuddenly landed.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"

It was Holy Lord Landon Lei!

"Clive, stop using your Omnipotent Talent Skill. Don't be so angry,” Landon said, hiding his worries.Landon's voice was gentle but penetrating. It was not a voice that you could ignore easily. Theauthorization was felt upon his tone.

Then, the rage in the scarlet eyes of the fierce ape gradually diminished, and the body slowly shrankback to its original shape.

This tremendous movement frightened all the younger generations present, and their heartstrembled under such great pressure. What could that so ominous yet so powerful energy be?Darren was frightened, too. The scent from the ape, which was turned by Clive, brought him anirresistible dread from deep in his heart. However, he chose not to fret that much.

"Lord Diana, what is going on here? Do you know what was happening that Clive had to resort tounleashing the ape?” he asked with calmness. Lord Landon was recognized as the strongest one inthe eight Holy Lands. He was also a peacemaker. He was always the first one to appear in all kindsof confrontations.

Instead of reasoning out, Diana stood in the air coldly and didn't say anything.

Seeing this situation, Lino, who was exactly the old man who persuaded Diana before, completelyexplained the original story to Lord Landon.

"Chiefs, your magic spring water is not only very precious, but it is also necessary to share some toElder Xenia and save her life. Moreover, I believe that Lord Diana will offer a sufficient amount ofgifts in return,” Holy Lord Landon persuaded then after he knew what had happened. MendingDiana's mess was the first thing he should do. Adding up fuel to the fire would only worseneverything.

"It's impossible, absolutely impossible. She dared to challenge us!"

At the same time, the three chiefs denied. "Either exchange with the Holy Maiden, or we will let itbe!"

Seeing that the three people disagreed, Lord Landon knew he had no such a right to force them.After all, Holy Lords must not dwell with this matter. As a compromise, he said, "Well, then,according to your previous agreement, the competition will be conducted. But for the sake offairness, I propose that the Lotus Holy Land can be allowed to dispatch their inner disciples. Whatdo you think?"

"Sir, you are embarrassing us,"

the chief of the Yu Clan replied firmly, obviously rejecting the suggestion. It was a rude thing to askfrom a Holy Lord in the first place.

"Sir, please forgive my rudeness. We shall continue the gambling. Please cease from your anger,”Darren stood out and announced in a loud voice at this time. This was the only way he could thinkof to cease the fight among the Holy Lords and chiefs.

Belle was also horrified by the movement she had caused just now. Hearing what the young manwith the mask said, she dared not to stand out against it. The bitterness on her face showed herdesperation. It was undeniable and evident from her. She thought, 'If the Holy Lord really robbedthe magic spring water, I'm afraid I would have caused a bloody catastrophe. It's horrible to eventhink about it.’

At this point, the three Ancient Families refused to give in. Darren's words gave everyone a step tostep down. The point was how Diana would act. However, no one could predict her mind.
