Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 387 It Was Over (Part One)

The lean older man kept on running while putting restrictions around him to avoid the attackcoming from his opponent that was chasing him from behind. Without looking back, he could sensethat the Water Kylin was not that far from him because he could feel the mighty strength thatradiated out of the beast. The restrictions that he was releasing were of no use—they were easilybroken and suppressed by the Water Kylin.

"Please, young man, don't kill me! I have no animosity against you. You can kill Waldo, the purple-robed guy, instead and beat him as long as you like! I will give you no trouble for doing that!"bellowed the older man as he was catching his breath. He could feel his legs were about to give upfrom running, and his heart seemed to leap out of his chest. Seeing that he was about to be caught,with the beast just a few inches away from him, the thin older man panicked. The beast that keptchasing him made him feel extremely frightened. Yet he kept on running determined to keep a safedistance away from his doom.

"Ha! Are you telling me that you don't want to die? Don't think that I didn't hear what you said justnow. You said that you would kill me as soon as you get the fruit! You won't even let an ordinarymartial artist live. Don't you think you deserve to die by just saying those words?" Darren shouted.He was just on the back of the Water Kylin and didn't even care about the thin older man's beggingwords. He intended to teach that older man a lesson that he would surely remember for the rest ofhis life. After all, Darren was such an effective teacher, not so kind though, but his teachings woulddo.

"Die old man! Run for your life!" The Water Kylin roared, while he was stretching his claw to grab theolder man like a small mountain crushed under a gigantic palm.

In an instant, the air around the older man shattered, as if a storm was approaching. As a panickedresponse, the thin older man let out countless runes as a shield to resist the attack from the WaterKylin.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the runes were broken in the blink of an eye, and the claws of the Water Kylinslapped directly on the thin older man’s body.

With the colossal impact, the older man flew in the air and descended like a shooting star that fellfrom the sky. The Water Kylin went after him and slapped repeatedly. In his face, in his belly, in hisloins, then his legs, and on his back, the Water Kylin didn't leave any body part untouched. Thoughthe beast controlled his strength this time, still, the thin older man’s bones were all broken—but hewas not dead yet.

"Take him." Seeing the man limping in pain on the ground, Darren instructed the Water Kylin.Following his master's order, the beast grabbed the older man using his claws, and the three ofthem flew back.

In the deserted valley, Darren kicked the thin older man and the purple-robed cultivator on theground. Their bodies created a loud thud as they hit the ground, and soon enough, both wereeating dirt because the Water Kylin had tossed them harshly and unmindfully on the ground.

"Now, can you give me the Divine Spirit Fruit?" Looking down at both the helpless men, Darrenasked in a stone-cold tone.

"Of course, of course, master! There you go." The thin older man hurriedly gave the Divine SpiritFruit to Darren despite being pained mentally and physically. He thought that more pain would beinflicted upon him if he wouldn't give up the fruit.

"Please don't kill me, master! I beg you! I really don't know that you and Waldo are enemies. I havenothing to do with what he had done to you! Please believe me!" The thin older man kept begging,and tears were streaming down his wrinkled face. To Darren's eyes, he was like a child deprived ofhis favorite toy.

"Humph! How dare you beg him for your life? What you have done is no better than what I've done!How many young girls did you rape and kill? How many treasures did you rob from both your kinand strangers alike? How many innocent people did you kill? Darren, now that you call yourself anhonest and just man why not just kill this old bastard as well? Hahaha!" ranted Waldo while spittingthe dirt out from his bloody mouth. The arrogant rule cultivator knew that he was surely going todie today, so he told Darren all the evil and even worst things that the thin older man had done. Hedeemed it wise if the older man would die with him.

"Shut up, Waldo! You are lying! How dare you to smear my name with all those wrongdoings thatyou did yourself!" In between sobs, the thin older man was so angry that blood sputtered out fromhis mouth as well.

"I'm completely through with you after all these years, old man! The bad things you have done..."relented Waldo.

"Shut up! You are both bastards who deserve to die. You don't have to argue anymore. You are bothgoing to die today anyway!" Darren shouted, interrupting Waldo and the older man's argument.Darren's voice was cold and stale right now. He didn't care about Waldo and the older man. All hewanted to do was award them the punishment they both deserved.

"Haha! Kill me first! I am not afraid to die. But before you do it, let me give you a piece of advice.That older man is using his arcane skill to send a message asking for help. If you don't kill us now,his followers would be here soon. Though I doubt that they can do any harm to you and yourlegendary beast, at least, they might take him away,” the purple-robed rule cultivator said with adetermined look on his face. Clearly, he had given up all hopes of saving his life. He knew for surethat Darren would not allow him to see the break of dawn.

Hearing his words, the thin older man vomited even more blood. He was so furious right now, butsadly he couldn't do anything about it. What Waldo said made him lose his last chance to live—theywere all true, and he couldn't replace any means to contest his words.

"Waldo! You bastard! What a foul mouth you have. I'm going to kill you!" the old man shoutedangrily.

With those words from the older man, Darren gave him a malicious glare. Being cautious this time,Darren scrutinized the man from head to foot. Right then and there, indeed, there was a red runeshining hidden on his palm.
