Chapter 1233 An Encounter

Akbar hurriedly sent Darren and the others outside.

"Please take care of Aaron for me, sir." Darren spoke with more respect and sincerity than usual as he addressed Akbar.

"Rest assured that I'll take good care of my dear disciple," Akbar said as he patted him on the shoulder.

"Thank you very much. We shall now take our leave." Darren then cupped his hands together to salute him. Soon, he and his companions left.

It took them three days to get out of the swamp. Along the way, they had encountered a couple of beasts which Darren had easily dealt with.

"There's nothing in our way now, sir. We can start moving faster."

"Well, it will be great if we get there as soon as possible, or else we'll be in trouble if the Xiling Clan catches up with us."

Hence, they all accelerated their flying. In a blink of an eye, another month had passed by.

Finally, they landed on a deserted mountain for a rest.

One by one, they landed.

But hardly an hour had gone by when a grey figure suddenly showed up in midair. Then more grey figures began appearing above them until Darren and his companions found themselves surrounded.

"Let's go down and investigate!"

The grey figures began descending all at once until they now stood in front of Darren and his group.

"Who are you?" the late comer asked menacingly.

"Shut up! Who the hell are you? How dare you threaten my master like that? Fuck off before it's too late!" Jefferson stepped forward and stood between Darren and the mysterious intruders.

"You?" The man frowned and looked at Jefferson. His eyes scanned him from head to toe several times before he turned to his companions. "I know him. He used to be one of the leaders of the gangsters in the jungle. He had worked with our youngest master, Burke."

"Great! He's exactly whom Master Davis is looking for. Let's take them all. If anyone tries to resist, just kill them!"

It was then that Darren realized that the intruders were warriors of the Xiling Clan.

He scanned the group on the other side and noted that there were about two hundred warriors. The weakest seemed to be at the low-level of the Star God Realm, while the strongest was at the top-level of the Star God Realm.

"Sir, we have to move fast. Davis' avatar isn't with them so now's our chance," Wilson suggested.

"Follow my orders. Go and kill them all!"

Darren shouted at his people, who immediately rushed towards their enemies. Jefferson swung his battle axe mightily over two enemies. A thunderbolt burst out so suddenly. In a blink of an eye, he had successfully chopped of their heads. Meanwhile, Duke didn't even have to think twice on using his Primeval Bloodline as he rushed towards their strongest enemy.

In the midst o

His roar was deafening.

Meanwhile, his aura burst out and instantly suppressed Duke.

Upon sensing danger, Darren tried to finish off the three cultivators as fast as he could.

With his black god's power, it didn't take long for the three cultivators to succumb to his power.

Desperation had finally taken hold of them.

They had no strength left to resist the incoming blow.

With the flash and glint of cold steel, three heads flew in the air and landed with consecutive dull thuds.

"Assimilate."

Darren released his power and began assimilating the three cultivators' talents.

He also assimilated the talents of the ones who were killed before.

Countless balls of light began to rush towards Darren. They sank inside his head and disappeared into the black space.

When all that were done, he didn't rush towards Duke to help him out. At this point, he felt that he still couldn't take on the cultivator at the top-level of the Star God Realm. He had to wait until he could simply sneak an attack on his enemy as soon as both sides showed any signs of weakness.

He finally descended from the sky and stood beside Finley and the others.

"Lindsay, prepare to call Carlisle. Duke's life might be in danger now," Darren said.

Due to their fiend characteristics, Carlisle and the others were currently cultivating in Lindsay's space.

"We should probably wait for the right moment. They have fiendish aura in them. If they ever fall in the hands of a powerful reclusive cultivator, they could get killed. Therefore, I don't think it's a good idea to call them out now," Lindsay explained.

"I see. Let's wait for a moment." Darren returned his attention back to the sky where the battle continued.

Soon, Duke wouldn't be able to hold out on Pollard's fierce attacks. He would eventually lose.
