Chapter 862 Ring Down the Curtain

Darren kept his calm, using his Dark Force and Primitive Fighting Force to ready a counterattack.

The strange stone in his head had merged with the black hexahedral crystal, and the power of Darren's Dark Force was greatly increased. After the upgrading of the Dark Force, the balance between it and the Primitive Fighting Force was broken, so after some time of cultivation, the Primitive Fighting Force was promoted as well to create a new state of balance.

The arena was hidden by a burst of light as Chilton's massive attack landed.

However, high-level martial artists such as Chandler and Townsend could still detect the two fighters with their spiritual senses.

Townsend frowned when he realized that Darren was still alive. Chilton's final blow hadn't killed him!

Yet Darren was just a junior holy warrior. Although he had brought out two terrifying powers at once, he should not be any match for Chilton at all. A single blow from Chilton should have been enough to send him packing.

A familiar rotating, swishing sound reached everyone's ears.

Then, suddenly, a pulse of bloody light rushed into the sky, and all those present shivered as they felt its terrifying aura.

"What?!

What kind of power is this?!" shouted someone uselessly.

Meanwhile, the whooshing sound continued.

It was the sound of a sword and a blade sweeping across the air.

As it ceased, Darren reappeared under the battle platform, facing the spectators, and the light dissipated in an instant.

Chilton was still standing up on the platform, staring at the front with a look of ferocious concentration.

For the next few seconds, nobody so much as took a breath.

Then, with a splash, Chilton collapsed into a shapeless puddle on the ground, as if his body had instantly turned to mud.

Everyone except for Chilton's killer stared, their minds blank. Darren had killed him with just one move.

The faces of the three clans' members turned deathly pale.

"You crafty son of a bitch!" Townsend shouted, infuriated. There was no mistaking the murder on his face.

There was a burst of power as he extended one hand.

Those nearby flinched away.

Darren fell back as a blast of hellish red light struck him square in the chest.

It was hardly the toughest blow he'd ever received, though.

In just a second or two he had righted himself and was ready for more violence. At his mental command, the scarlet sword and blade thrust at Townsend.

Townsend was shocked as he fell back under the enormous force.

"Evil Seal!" he called out frantically.

Instantly, something

help. We were very worried at that time. But thanks to your talent, at last, Eddy was able to use Hiram the Great's battle halberd to suppress the fiend. Now we've finished our cultivation, we must not let that first fiend ancestor get out again," Chandler said.

"Once the fiend collects the eight body parts into one, no one will be able to stop him," Gabriel warned.

"In that case, Leighton and Gabriel, please summon the other two senior holy warriors and go to the forbidden area," Chandler said. "I'll be there soon."

"Yes, sir." Saying this, the two flew out.

Looking perturbed, Scott urged his friend, "Darren, just take care of yourself right now. I will go to guard the forbidden area with Hanson and Mathew, too."

Darren shook his head. "No, you can't go to the forbidden area. Only the senior holy warriors can protect themselves there. You mustn't go."

"How dare you look down upon me, Darren?" Scott said with a smile.

"He's right, Darren. Your brother is no worse off than you now," Hanson chimed in.

"Really?" Darren's eyes lit up. "It seems that you've been having your own adventures. Well, I won't say anything more. Take care with the two seniors."

"All right." They nodded.

A few moments later the crowd had mostly dispersed, but Chandler had not left.

"Darren, what kind of force did you use just now?" Chandler asked.

"Bloody Shura Force," Darren answered frankly.

"Sure enough!" Chandler looked excited. "Well, well! Come with me."

"What?" Darren was rather confused. Seeing Chandler start to fly towards the palace, he started in the same direction.

"Darren, it seems that the elder is going to lead you to the Emperor Realm," Lord Donald said with surprise.
