Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 152 Who Won

When the level three bloodline force exploded from Kevin, his body emitted a green light and a coldaura.

"Heavyset Body! Block!" he roared.

At the same time, Darren's mighty sword intent hit him.

The sharp clash of swords hitting his body echoed in the space. In the next instant, Darren'spowerful sword intent inundated Kevin. He felt as if he were in a world of swords, and no matterwhich direction he turned in, numerous powerful swords were attacking him

Kevin trembled with fear.

He was scared internally because the sword intent was too powerful and his body couldn't resist theattack even though it had been consolidated with the level three bloodline force.

Blood saturated his robes as the swords left small wounds on his body.

"Resist!"

Kevin shouted. Darren's attack and his inability to defend against it efficiently, left Kevin anxious.Although his strengthened body couldn't completely resist Darren's sword intent, it bought himtime to activate more bloodline force. After a few moments, his bloodline force upgraded to levelfour.

"Clink! Clink! Clink!"

The sound of swords hitting Kevin's stone-like body echoed in the quiet surroundings. After Kevin'sbloodline force increased to level four, his body became more solid and blocked Darren's swordintent.

Besides, his strength increased continuously, as well!

"Damn freak!" Kevin couldn't help cursing Darren after he survived the dangerous attack andrecovered his composure.

However, Darren had no intention of giving him time to breathe because he knew that Kevin'sstrength would increase significantly if he used the skill to turn his body into a weapon.

"Cracking Attack!"

"Profound Nine Sword Skills!"

Darren executed his blade and sword simultaneously, which made his attacks more powerful thanwhen he only used the sword intent!

Below the battle platform, the faces of the three chiefs darkened as they had a grim sense offoreboding. Even Landon, the Holy Lord of the Lightning Holy Land, who was sitting in the luxuriouschair above the battle platform, was shocked.

"He, indeed, cultivates both blade and sword martial arts."

"Practicing both the blade and sword simultaneously should have killed him. How did he survive?How can he emanate such powerful strength?”

"The young man is unexpectedly powerful. When did such a great talent join the Lotus Holy Land?"The chiefs of the three Ancient Families marveled simultaneously.

On the battle platform, just when Kevin felt relieved that the pressure from Darren had decreased alittle, a stronger attack which combined both the sword intent and blade intent hit him.

"Damn it! You are forcing me to execute my trump card. Level five Heavyset Body!"

Kevin bellowed as his face twisted in pain.

"Oh? He is about to turn his body into a weapon!" Seeing that Kevin had started transforming,Darren dashed forward. He was so quick that the audience could only see a shadow flashing past."Wham!"

Just as Darren had reached halfway toward Kevin, a powerful thick black iron whip cracked onDarren's back. The strength of the blow threw him backward in the air.

Blood glistened in the sun as a horrible wound was left on Darren's back!

Opposite him, a cold, black iron chain oscillated in the air, in perfect trajectory.

Kevin had turned himself into the black iron chain, a weapon, when he activated the level fivebloodline force.

"Its aura is so threatening!" Darren felt the pain from his injury course through his body as he staredat the swaying black iron chain.

"Ding!"

Before Darren had time to react, the powerful chain unleashed a formidable ancient aura as it flewtoward Darren

Darren summoned his blade and sword at the same time. They shot out like sharp arrows andtackled the black whip.

Loud sounds, like explosions, were heard and the Lotus Battle Ring shook. The shock wave causedby the collision between Darren and the black chain caused cracks to appear in the protectivescreen between the audience and the fighters.

The sword core in Darren's body circulated crazily as it reached the peak of its power.

He cut the black iron chain with his blade and sword, one after the other, but it seemed that hisattacks didn't cause Kevin any severe injuries. On the contrary, it exerted pressure on Darren.

At this stage, Darren pondered whether or not to execute the Blood Dragon Illusion.

But he negated this idea as soon as it flashed across his mind. If he used the Talent Skill now, hewould definitely lose the next battle.

“Our strength is evenly matched. If I can be a little more powerful, I'll be able to defeat him!" Darrenthought.

"The bronze mask and the armor!" Darren didn't remember that the bronze mask and the armorcould increase his strength until this very moment.

Quickly, he used his mental power to summon them. The armor encased his body, and the bronzemask covered his face.

At the moment, a black rune flashed on them and quickly disappeared. Darren felt that his strengthhad increased by at least 50%.

When the competitors were evenly matched and found themselves in an impasse, the situationwould change even if a tiny bit of energy was added to one of them.

"It's time to see who will win!"

Darren summoned the blade and sword intent before charging toward the black chain.

At the same time, the black iron chain transformed by Kevin flew toward the sky and circled like adragon in mid-air before swooping down toward Darren.

"Rumble!" The whole square quaked!

They collided. Darren flew backward and hit the screen set on the edge of the platform. He spat outblood and moaned in agony from his severe internal injuries.

The black iron chain was also pushed away after the collision. However, it stopped at the edge ofthe battle platform

Everyone was stunned at the scene and held their breath.

'Who won?'

Even those strongest warriors below the battle platform couldn't tell the result of the match.

Just then, the black iron chain gave out a green light before turning back into Kevin.

It appeared as though Kevin had sustained no severe wounds on his body. His messy hair was theonly sign that he had been in a battle.

"Kevin won?" The chief of the Ji Family exclaimed with excitement on his face.

"Ha-ha. Congratulations! This was a hard battle to win!"

The other two chiefs smiled as they too were glad for Kevin's victory.

On the other side, where the people from the Lotus Holy Land stood, both Lino and Colin gazed atDarren with worry and tension. They felt as though they were going to lose the competition. “Havewe lost?’ They wondered.

"Darren..." Belles eyes filled with tears when she saw that her brother had been injured.

"If you want to save him, carry him away from the platform quickly.”

Unexpectedly, Daren stood up. He wiped away the blood around the corners of his mouth. Then heclimbed down from the battle platform. The audience was perplexed when they heard those words.Everyone's mouth flew open as in the next instant, Kevin's eyes turned dull and expressionless. Hisrobes were tore into pieces and wounds spread over his body, like a cobweb. Blood gushed out, likean overflowing river, and drenched the platform.

"Crack! Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking reverberated through the arena.

Kevin slipped down along the edge of the battle platform like a pile of flesh without bones."What!" roared the chief of the Ji Family. His eyes widened as he rushed toward Kevin. His faceturned red from the rage coursing through him.

"Kevin!"

He tried to scoop Kevin in his arms but failed as his nephew was like beast meat without bones.

All the bones in Kevin's body had been smashed into powder, just like he had described before thebattle began. Ironically, it was Kevin, not Darren, who had been defeated in such a gruesomemanner.

"You did great!" Lino and Colin walked over excitedly and lifted Darren in celebration.

But Darren pushed their hands away. He was capable of standing steadily, though he had sustainedthe internal injuries during the battle. He told Lino and Colin that he needed to rest and consumesome healing pills. Then, he would feel better.

"You were awesome. I never imagined that your ability to use the blade and sword simultaneouslywas that powerful,” Colin said with exhilaration.

Darren was at the third stage of the Mysterious Realm, but the strength he had shown was farbeyond the strength of a cultivator at the ninth stage of the Mysterious Realm

"You destroyed Kevin. I'll kill you!" The chief of the Ji Family saw that Kevin, his nephew and thetalent of the young generation, was ruined on the platform. He went into a frenzy and attackedDarren.

"Don't be impetuous. We haven't lost the competition. The competitor from the Wei Family hasn'tfought him yet!"

"You need to calm down. We can't kill him before we get the Lotus.”

The other two chiefs tried to persuade the chief of the Ji Family.

However, the chief of the Ji Family turned a deaf ear to them and ejected a big illusory palm beforedirecting it at Darren.

"Stop!"

A shout, as loud as thunder resounded in the space as green lightning hit the ground.

With a flash, Landon appeared under the big illusory palm unleashed by the chief of the Ji Family.With a wave of his hand, Landon crushed the palm.

And the energy wave pushed the chief of the Ji Family backward.

"Your side lost this battle. You have to admit it. How dare you break the rules by trying to kill thecompetitor! Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Have you forgotten that I am the judge?”

Everyone calmed down when they saw Landon's strength.

After he was thrown back by the energy wave, the chief of the Ji Family relaxed. Embarrassmentreflected in his expression, and he silently carried Kevin to the side of the Ancient Families.

"Chief Wei, order Bruce to kill that bastard. I'll give you whatever you want as the trade condition!"The chief of the Ji Family secretly contacted the chief of the Wei Family with vicious intent.
