Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 279 Unexplainable Situation (Part One)

As the atmosphere of fear intensified among the crowd, Lenny, the young man who had killed thesuspicious evil cultivator stepped forward and said, "They seemed to have been attacked and killedby some kind of fierce animal. Don't frighten yourself!”

All of a sudden, the air stirred violently, generating a loud noise.

A shadow leaped out of nowhere. It flashed by like lightning and struck Lenny from behind. Theforce from the hit was so powerful that Lenny was thrown out from the crowd. He fell onto theground, spewing out a mouthful of blood.

"Darren! It's you! How dare you attack me in such a shamefully sneaky way?" Lenny staggered up tohis feet, his eyes full of fury and resentment.

Everybody suddenly felt confused at this unexpected situation. Although Lenny had always had arude habit of speaking ill-mannered words in the most inappropriate circumstances, what he saidjust a while ago was not very offensive so as to warrant such a rough lesson from Darren. Everyonewas wondering what Darren's reason for attacking Lenny was.

Darren stayed quiet and stood there, cold eyes fixed on Lenny, watching his every move.

"So what Robb said about you is true! The real Darren is dead! This man standing in front of us isthe one controlled by the evil cultivator! The evil cultivator has taken over his body! The Darren weknow is dead!" Lenny slowly inched back in terror. He looked as if he had seen a ghost, orsomething worse.

All the superior talents also started retreating upon hearing Lenny's words. They all wanted to keeptheir distance from the seemingly evil Darren.

"Now you're trying to frame me, right?" uttered Darren coldly. Judging from Lenny's behavior,Darren was quite certain that there was something wrong with him. He was definitely behavingstrangely.

"Stop telling lies in front of us. Tell us, why are you still able to move so fast when all of our energiesare suppressed?

Even if your explanation for your uninhibited speed holds water, how were you able to survive andescape from the monstrous creature? The only explanation is that you're good at using theinvisibility skill! You made yourself invisible so that the monstrous creature wouldn't replace you. I'mguessing that was how you survived and escaped, right? Well, only evil cultivators are able to dothat. So tell us, are my words true? Unveil your true form, you evil cultivator!”

Lenny's words sounded reasonable in everyone's ears. They were nearly convinced that this Darrenin front of them was the evil cultivator, concealing himself in Darren's shell.

"What's your explanation, Darren?" Robb approached Darren, but his eyes were also full of wariness.Darren furrowed his brows. He did not expect that Lenny was so good at fabricating lies. Now, hewas so suspicious in everyone's eyes.

Darren had a justified explanation for his fast movement. He could use the Wind Rule to formpropellers made out of air that made him move as fast as lightning. He was able to move fastbecause he had grasped the essence of the Wind Rule, where instead of using his internal energy,he made use of external forces. That was the reason why he was able to move fast under the spell ofsuppression. But as to how he escaped from the Water Kylin, it would be a bit harder to explain.Darren remained silent, still replaceing the right words to say. All the other people turned increasinglywary at his hesitation, taking it as a sign of his guilt. Some even had their weapons at the ready intheir hands, fully prepared to defend themselves if Darren suddenly decided to take action.

"How do you know that evil cultivator is good at using the invisibility skill? Mr. Brian You didn'tmention anything about it when he talked to us using his long-distance voice transmitting skill."Darren looked straight into Lenny's eyes as he finally spoke, sharply pointing out the flawed andsuspicious logic in the latter's words.

The statement Darren aired out also sounded reasonable that all the people were starting to getsuspicious of Lenny too. They were at such a loss on whom to believe—Darren or Lenny.

Lenny's face froze at Darren's words. He sank into a long silence, then he angrily retorted, "It wasjust a guess. It's common sense, you idiot. Even ordinary people can guess that. I have nothing toexplain.”

"That's right. You don't have to explain it.” Darren didn't want to waste time in arguing with him. Theonly way to prove Lenny's lies and unveil his hypocrisy was to kill him and expose the existence ofthe evil cultivator to everyone.

Without any warning, Darren launched his attack.

He darted directly towards Lenny, pointing his sword at his enemy's throat.

"Help me, everybody! The evil cultivator is going to kill me!" shouted Lenny, a cunning look glintingin his eyes.

There was a strong gush of wind as several superior talents leaped towards Darren.

Upon hearing Lenny's words, they all simultaneously charged at Darren to ward off his sword.

The superior talents stood between Darren and Lenny to keep Darren from attacking Lenny anyfurther. Although Darren could run fast, it would still be next to impossible for him to get throughall the warriors and take Lenny's life without any obstacles. The talents were all either at the fourthor the fifth stage of the Spirit Realm and thus were all incredibly strong. Darren, on the other hand,was just at the preliminary stage of the Spirit Realm in this world. He was by no means their match.However, Darren was not one to give up so easily in front of strong opponents; he did not waver.He used both his sword and blade to launch ceaseless attacks at Lenny from every possibledirection.

After launching his attack, he found, to his dismay, that he was unsuccessful in killing his target asthere were so many people protecting him. It wasn't long before another group of people joinedthe fight. The first group protected Lenny while the second attacked Darren. Gradually, more andmore superior talents joined the fight on Lenny's side. Only Robb and Tom were left standing towatch the two sides battle each other.
