Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 140 Unwanted Followers (Part One)

Under any other conditions, meeting a level one demonic monster would have not concerned theouter disciples of the Holy Land this much. But they were in the marsh right now. It was the home ofmud crocodiles. Here, it was multiple times more powerful than when it was outside the marsh. Andthat was why they were so afraid. It would be a long fight for them.

An atrocious aura washed over Darren. With all might, he gathered all of his strength and preparedto attack. He took a deep breath as he stared at the king. He stood above the mud crocodile andbrandished his sword. Then, his powerful sword intent went after the mud crocodile.

"Roar!"

With a loud roar, the king of mud crocodiles felt the frightening sword intent coming from Darren. Itimmediately turned around and dived into the marsh, hiding in fear. Darren could only blink hiseyes in confusion as he didn't expect that the mud crocodile would curl its tail and back-out.

"Huh? What happened? I can't feel its aura. Its aura completely disappeared? That fast?"

Darren felt that the mud crocodile had completely disappeared in just a poof, leaving without atrace.

"Fantastic! How powerful his sword intent is! The king of the mud crocodiles is gone!" The outerdisciples, who had been standing beside and saw Darren drive the king of mud crocodiles away withhis sword, all gasped in an admiring tone. Before, they were shaking in fear of the king of mudcrocodiles, but now, they were relieved as they could not feel its aura at all.

However, the game was still not over yet. Darren felt strange all of a sudden. Right after all of themlet their guard down after the mud crocodile disappeared, it rushed out of the marsh in a very quickspeed, charging towards the outer disciples of the Holy Land. It was a surprise attack!

"Oh damn it! It's cleverer than I thought. It chose to avoid me and attack them instead! This is notgood." The look on Darren's face immediately changed. Wasting no time, he charged towards it in aflash.

"Roar!"

The king of mud crocodiles was so fast that the outer disciples couldn't even feel and dodge itsattack. They froze in place and watched the big monster charge towards them with frightened eyes.But suddenly, a person came towards them flying. He was faster than the mud crocodile, not fearinganything at this moment. What Darren could only worry was to protect the outer disciples.

"Fuck off! You deceitful creature!"

Darren then charged towards the mud crocodile, straight running to its huge mouth withouthesitance.

Crack!

The mud crocodile bit Darren in the arm and dragged him into the marsh with it in the blink of aneye. The outer disciples gasped in fear. What would happen to Darren? It seemed that the king wasnot something that could be underestimated.

Their hearts all dropped when they saw what happened. Some could not bear to see it and closedtheir eyes firmly.

"Darren!" some shouted.

"Shit! What should we do? Darren got dragged into the marsh in order to save us!"

Their faces were all pale, especially Sven's. He knew what the king of mud crocodiles could do underthe marsh. It would be even more powerful there. He had a feeling that Darren was bound to diethis time. This thought made him feel goose bumps.

They must not sit still and watch him sacrificed. However, they knew that their power was notenough to beat the king. Worst, they might interrupt Darren if they dived into the fight recklessly.Under the marsh, Darren couldn't see anything. The only thing he could do was to use his spiritualsense to see if he could replace out what was happening around him. With cautiousness, his eyebrowstwitched to focus more.

With his spiritual sense, he found that there were more than one hundred mud crocodiles aroundhim, and among them, the king of mud crocodiles was looking at him in a dangerous way. Insteadof getting shaken, feeling the other mud crocodiles made him agitated more. Finally, he could faceall of them at once.

"This is your end. You are all going to die!"

Darren used the blade intent and the sword intent at the same time, killing the mud crocodilesaround him without mercy! He strode to them as fast as he could.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Blood filled into the marsh, painting it red where Darren went. Under his attack, the diabolic beaststhat were around him were almost all dead. Darren was too merciless to slow down a little.

Darren was not in a hurry at all. He assimilated the talent of the dead diabolic beasts first. Thoughassimilating a diabolic beast was not that helpful for him right now, he still wasn't willing to let thetalent go wasted. Besides, there were more than one hundred dead diabolic beasts here. He couldhave a feast. After assimilating the talent, his own talent upgraded too. He was almost at the levelthree of the Earth Degree right now.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The king of mud crocodiles kept roaring in anger and fear, after seeing its fellow mud crocodilesbeing killed by Darren in the blink of an eye. Its cleverness earlier was nothing to Darren's attacknow. It felt outraged as it saw his true strength. Though it was smart, it was still a monster. Itcouldn't fight its lust for blood and kill. So it still charged towards Darren in a ferocious way. It wastoo angry to think about anything else.

"You are not as weak as your fellow mud crocodiles that I have already killed.”

Darren's eyes squinted carefully. He could feel that the aura of the king of mud crocodiles gotstronger. However, Darren would not let this mere creature overpower him.

'Ilt's not the best time to idle and waste time on it. I have to finish it and get out of here. It will beworse if we draw the attention of more powerful demonic monsters. Besides, I only have six hoursleft for the hunt!’

Thinking of this, Darren used the demon core and immediately, the demonic internal force filled hismeridians. He was like a demonic god right now! He was way stronger than he was earlier.

"You have to die now!"

Using his demonic internal force, Darren charged and curled his fist hard. Then he punched the kingof mud crocodile dreadfully.

But much to his surprise, the king of mud crocodiles didn't even dodge. It was confident that itsteeth were the strongest weapon in the world, and nothing could break them. To the king of mudcrocodiles, a mere punch could never surpass its hardness.

Unluckily for it, it realized that it was wrong the next second.

Crack!

Its strong teeth all broke into splinters because Darren's powerful punch smashed its head intopieces. Where were those invincible teeth it was boasting earlier?

The monster core of the king of mud crocodiles also flew into the sky by the power of his punch. Itwas not a mere punch at all.
