Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 183 Bloody Battle

"Oh no, this is bad!" Darren exclaimed. Darren feared for Elsa's safety if she used her OmnipotentTalent Skill. Elder Brenda had warned her of the damage it could do to her. She had advised her notto use it rashly before she got stable at the Wonder Realm. Elsa had reached the Wonder Realm veryquickly with the help of the sword core and Brenda's valuable natural sources. Her body had not yetadapted to the intensity that realm required.

"Retreat, Elsa!" Darren shouted.

But it was too late. Strong winds blew under a big, dark cloud, forming a giant whirlpool because ofthe endless sword intent.

As a swordsman, Elsa's Omnipotent Talent Skill was terribly strong.

Boom!

The mighty sword intent descended like a huge wave that crashed into the level five demonicmonster.

"Roar!"

Feeling Elsa's overwhelming power, the demonic monster thrashed until it managed to escape thecontrol of Hayes's Omnipotent Talent Skill.

"Hiss!" Darren gasped at the demonic monster's strength. Even the Shackle Rule released by Hayes'sOmnipotent Talent Skill was not able to trap it!

As the demonic monster freed itself, its force sent Hayes flying backward toward the wall of the cliff.Blood spurted out of his mouth as his body smashed against the hard surface, motionless. The otherthree disciples from the Lotus Holy Land with lower realms fared worse. Just the excess force of thedemonic monster was enough to drive them into a coma.

Seeing the emergent situation, Darren was mostly worried about Elsa's safety. He transformedhimself into a fiend directly and used his Spirit Power to trigger the Rule of the Earth he hadcomprehended not too long ago. Now, Darren's body was strong enough to withstand an attackfrom a Wonder Realm master at the primary stage.

At the same time, he activated his blade intent and sword intent and launched a full attack at thelevel five demonic monster to complement Elsa's Omnipotent Talent Skill.

"Whoa, am I so powerful?” Darren thought aloud. Even he was surprised with his own strength. Hisblade intent seemed to have improved so much! The combined power went far beyond hisexpectations.

The whole valley shuddered violently and the surrounding mountains started to collapse. Even thedense mist suspended above the valley was also dispersed because of the fluctuations of thetremendous force. It looked as if the valley was about to fall into doom.

"Awooo!"

Tens and hundreds of sword radiant evolved from Elsa's Sky Shaking Sword Array, all of whichlashed on the monster, searing it with pain.

In a rage, the demonic monster lifted its claw and hit Elsa through the air. A terrible stream of powershot at her. Immediately, her face turned ghastly pale and her body hung in the air as if suspendedby a thread.

At that moment, a black figure shot into the sword array at lightning speed. The endless blade andsword intent aided by forceful demonic internal force frightened the demonic monster.

It howled.

Elsa took advantage of the distraction. As the demonic monster's attention was turned towardsDarren's force, she used her sword intent to rip the monster's hard fur apart. Fresh blood drenchedits whole body.

"Golden opportunity!" Seeing the demonic monster's injury, Darren rushed to it immediately."Fucking human beings, die!" the demonic monster shouted aloud.

It lifted up one claw to block Elsa's sword intent and another claw to attack Darren.

It had already used up most of its strength just to hold itself against Elsa's Omnipotent Talent Skill.She already did so much damage to it. As for Darren's attack, his strange aura merely caught thedemonic monster off guard. Once the shock subsided, the demonic monster assumed that his forcewas too weak to cause it any serious harm.

Whoosh!

In the next second, the level five demonic monster began to regret its conclusion.

'I should not have allowed that human to attack me without even blocking! He is actually strongenough to kill me, * it thought.

Frozen in its stance, it lowered its crimson eyes and found a striking hole the size of a human beingembedded in its chest.

Even Elsa was surprised at Darren's strength. He was no less inferior to a Wonder Realm master.Momentarily stunned, Elsa managed to regain her composure. She knew that despite having itsbody penetrated, the demonic monster would still be able to launch another violent attack. Sheactivated her sword intent again and delivered another full blow on the demonic monster with herOmnipotent Talent Skill.

"You vile human beings!" the demonic monster let out a savage roar as blood-red radiance shoneout of its entire body.

Bang!

Heaven and earth trembled! The level five demonic monster's body exploded. Its tremendous forceviolently dispersed her sword intent and sent her flying back.

"Elsa!" Darren yelled. His acceleration was enough to propel him thousands of meters away afterpenetrating the demonic monster's body. Although Darren got involved in the aftermath of theexplosion of the demonic monster, he also had enough physical constitution to withstand thepower from the explosion.

After steadying himself, Darren shot himself at Elsa as swiftly as he could. He caught her just as shewas flying backward and managed to land safely on a deserted mountain.

"Ough, ough, ough!" Streams of blood spurted out of Elsa's mouth as she coughed. Her face wasdeathly pale.

"I am fine, Darren. Go to check Bruce and the other disciples to see if they are still alive,” shesuggested. Despite being heavily injured, she was still thinking clearly.

"Okay. Stay here and lie down for a moment. I will be back in a minute." Darren gently laid her onthe ground and flew back to the valley to check on Bruce and the others.

First, he assimilated the talent of the level five demonic monster before its energy completelydispersed. This improved his talent to the seventh level of the Earth Degree.

Then, Darren relaxed and turned his attention to try to replace out if his friends were still alive. With apalm strike, he removed the debris from the fallen cliff. He soon found Bruce's giant body.

"Good, he's still breathing.” Darren was relieved.

Then he removed another pile of debris from the collapsed cliff and rescued Hayes who was alsoheavily wounded and lost in a coma.

It was fortunate that the two were hit and buried under the cliff's debris. Else, they would haveexploded along with the demonic monster. The other disciples from the lower realms were,however, not as fortunate. Darren could no longer sense any trace of life. They were dead.

With one man in each of Darren's hands, he flew back to the barren mountain.

He later found a concealed cavern and settled all of them in. Elsa tended to her wounds herselfwhile Darren used his spiritual energy to cure Bruce and Hayes until they came around.

Three days and three nights elapsed silently.

With great restoring abilities, Bruce was first to recover. Darren then asked him to cure himself.Apparently, Bruce could heal himself much faster if he circulated his spiritual energy himself.Another two days later, Hayes also came around. Unlike Bruce, however, he was too weak to evenmove.

For half a month, Darren went out every day to get superior spiritual herbs and distributed them tohis three wounded friends to help them heal.

"How are you feeling now, Elsa?" Darren asked.

"Much better, but my sword core seems to have been damaged because of the forceful dispatchingof my Omnipotent Talent Skill. My strength is limited now," she answered. Her lips were still verypale.

Seeing Elsa's appearance, Darren couldn't help but feel sorry. It was not easy to fix a broken swordcore. She must be in such great pain.

"Elsa, you have to go back to the Holy Land,” Darren suggested. Darren no longer had enoughresources to help her with her damaged sword core. Maybe her master had some way to cure her.He thought that it was best to send her back to the Lotus Holy Land as soon as possible. Withouttimely treatment, she might catch some disease and get worse.

"No, I won't come back unless you come back too. Besides, we need to wait for a few more days tobe teleported back," Elsa crooned.

"No, there is no time to lose. You have to go back to see your master. I have a jade card left byColin. I can pour my spiritual energy into it to send you back. It could be used three times, justenough for you three,” Darren explained.

Colin gave the jade card to Darren before they came here in the case of an emergency. Using suchan item could badly affect the transmission array. Worse, it could even damage the transmissionrunes themselves and destroy the array. Ordinary disciples could never possess such kind of jadecard. Also, the jade card would not work if its owner was under attack.

"No. You have to come back with us. Forget the Fire Cave,” Elsa begged as she wrapped her armsaround Darren.

"Listen to me, Elsa. Your sword core was damaged and this is very serious. You have to go back andtend to it immediately,” Darren replied firmly.

"As for me, I have to go to the Fire Cave. I am sure 'it' was there," he continued.

When Darren broke through to the Mysterious Realm, Elsa also saw how "it" pull Darren through."Are you talking about that terrifyingly powerful fiend who wore the black armor?” Elsa asked. Sheimmediately recalled that black shadow she saw that day.

"Yes. That's what I'm talking about. I have to go to the Fire Cave to try to replace it," he replied. Darrenwanted to replace out why the mysterious powerful fiend helped him that day.

"Alright then, I am going. You take care! If you come back with even so much as a scar, I swear, I willnot forgive you!" Elsa said in a huff.

"Haha, I won't." Darren woke Bruce and Hayes who were both busy healing their wounds inmeditation and told them that he was going to send them back to the Holy Land.

Hayes had been so stressed after experiencing the strength of a level five demonic monster.Without any second thoughts, he immediately agreed to Darren's suggestion.

Darren sent Elsa back first. Half an hour later, he poured his spiritual energy into the jade card andsent Hayes back as well.

Before his departure, Hayes expressed his gratitude to Darren and left a map on which details aboutthe most powerful and perilous places were marked. Fortunately, Hayes's treasure bag and the mapwere undamaged. Without the map, Darren would not have known which way to go.
