Chapter 143 Show Off (Part One)

In the area of demonic monsters, Darren and his companions, who were hiding atop a toweringtree, watched with interest as three demonic monsters hit their prey. It was beyond amusing."Darren, Rory is really physically strong. He is still alive.”

Darren laughed and responded, "Those demonic monsters are smart. They are just playing withRory. If they were serious, he would have already been beaten to a pulp. The demonic monsterswere going easy on him."

Swoosh! Swoosh!

All of a sudden, a strong wind blew, causing them to hold on to a branch to avoid falling off. Theynarrowed their eyes in the direction where the force seemingly came from. A figure that exuded astrong aura showed up in the woods, not far from where they were hiding.

"Go to hell, you beasts!"

With an angry shout, the man swung his arm and gave the demonic monsters a punch that was sostrong that they flew a few meters away and crashed into a trunk of a tree. They twitched aroundmadly before their legs gave in, sending them falling face first onto the ground. Darren noticed howtheir breathing had stopped by then. The demonic monsters were dead.

"That was so horrible!" the outer disciples of Lotus Holy Land exclaimed with terror in their eyes.They couldn't believe what they just witnessed.

They held their breath and thought, “He slaughtered three level 3 demonic monsters with a singlemove.’

"What's going on? He is the chief of the Wei Family. What is he doing here?" one of them said,squinting his eyes.

They were anxious. After all, they tricked the members of the Wei Family and got them killed."Don't panic. I'll go ahead and take a look to see what's going on,” Darren responded, resting hiseyes on Clive. Unlike his companions, the sudden arrival of the chief didn't send him into panic. “Thefour members of the Wei Family are dead, Rory blacked out, so how would he know I set hismembers up? I didn't kill them myself. Technically, I didn't break the game's rules. Hence, even if hefigured it out, he wouldn't be able to do anything to me

I must go get the demonic monsters’ corpses. Once I assimilate them, I would achieve a significantleap in talent, * he thought.

"Be careful, Darren," Sven said as Darren flew towards the dead monsters.

A couple of seconds later, Darren reached his target. "Thank god they are still giving off blue light.They are still useful to me,” he murmured with relief.

As he concentrated, the blue light coming off the demonic monsters flew towards him. In a second,he assimilated all the blue light, filling him with warmth and strength.

"Wow. It feels great,” Darren said, stretching his arms leisurely as though he had just gotten a goodsleep. He felt fantastic, livelier, and happier.

'Oh jeez, I've gotten an upgrade. Now my talent is at level four of the Earth Degree, * he exclaimedjoyfully, but still making sure that his face didn't show too much emotion. He was also pleased tosee that he had achieved such a significant leap in his talent after assimilating the talent of the threelevel three demonic monsters.

"Get out of here, brat,” Clive snarled at Darren while holding Rory, who was covered in bruises, in hisarms

"Mr. Wei, I hope you understand that you do not own this place. You neither have the right to askme to leave nor the authority to force me," Darren answered coolly.

"Do you think I don't know you are coming here to collect demonic monsters" cardiac cores?" Cliveretorted, snorting. He then hit the three cores and made them break.

With a small smile, Darren scoffed, "Ah, you'd rather destroy cardiac cores than let me get them.You're really mean, aren't you?"

Clive was visibly pissed off with his remark. His face turned grave as he said menacingly, "You daretalk to me this way? Aren't you afraid I might end your life?" Darren laughed.

"Why would I be?" He lifted his chin and then added, rather arrogantly, "If you dare kill me withoutany reason, our Holy Lord will treat this behavior as a provocation, and she will not let you go. I'msure Mr. Landon will take our side. Are you prepared to face their wrath?"

Clive opened his mouth to speak then closed it again. 'He is right. The risk is too high. After all, wehave placed a huge wager on this bet, * he thought grudgingly. “Darren is the hope of Lotus HolyLand. If I take his life, Diana will throw a fit."

"You're a brave man,” Clive said, sneering. "Don't think you'll be the winner since Rory got injured.You can't survive this."

And with that, Clive was transported back to the square together with Rory.

"Just wait and see,” Darren murmured, narrowing his eyes at the spot where Clive had beenstanding a few seconds ago.

Time passed by quickly. It had been four hours since Darren and his companions had beentransported to the area of demonic monsters.

Ever since Rory left, the outer disciples of Lotus Holy Land hadn't encountered anyone that dared toget in their way. So far, they had only slaughtered over a hundred diabolic beasts, earning themmore than a hundred points.

"Darren, I think we should focus on diabolic beasts. We only get ten points after taking out a levelone demonic monster. It's not rewarding enough. Who would be stupid to look for demonicmonsters? I think the hunting rules are unreasonable,” one of Darren's companions complained,seemingly unable to keep his thoughts to himself.

"You're wrong." Darren shook his head and continued, "You think hunting diabolic beasts is the bestway to earn points because they are easy to replace and there are lots of them, but if the two geniusesof the Ancient Families can replace enough level one demonic monsters, they will earn more pointsthan what we have gathered so far—all in such a short amount of time."

"On the other hand, running into lots of level two demonic monsters would be quitedisadvantageous for them. Level-two demonic monsters are much stronger than level one demonicmonsters. Killing one level two demonic monster would cost them too much energy and time. Itwould only earn them about twenty points, so I don't think it's worthwhile,” he added.
