Chapter 1298 Fighting Maxwell (Part One)

Darren kept on flying at full speed. With the aid of the speed runes, he was able to go back to the Starry Sword Sect within a day.

"How was your trip? Any good news?" As soon as Darren came out of the secret passage, Murphy perceived his arrival and quickly went to welcome him.

"Well, it went fine," Darren answered indifferently.

"What do you mean? Were you able to successfully invite Lord Akbar? Where is he now?" Murphy asked expectantly.

"About that, no, he can't leave that swamp. But in turn, I have here several useful things that he gave me. Here, look at this one."

Darren took out the exquisite black armor and showed it to Murphy.

As soon as Murphy saw the armor, his eyes lit up immediately. With just a glance, he knew that this armor was something powerful and extraordinary.

"He gave this to you?" Murphy asked while his eyes were still fixed on the armor.

"That's right. Come on, put it on. With this, you will be able to fight against Maxwell on equal terms!"

"It's that powerful?"

Without the least hesitation, Murphy grabbed the armor and excitedly put it on.

Suddenly, a strong magical force spread all over his body, causing his meridians to be enhanced by multiple folds.

"You're right! I can feel the extreme power! I feel like I can easily take on the warriors at the upper-level of the Celestial God Realm with this!" Murphy was overwhelmed with the powerful strength that flowed in his body. He had never felt this strong before, causing his confidence to boost significantly.

However, after thinking carefully for a while, he told Darren, "The people we're facing this time are not only Maxwell. If he managed to invite any powerful warrior at the top level of the Celestial God Realm, there's a huge chance that our sect will be in huge trouble."

After all, there was still a huge gap in strength between warriors at the top level of the Celestial God Realm and those only at the upper-level.

"Yeah, I've already thought about that. Don't worry. I have my ways to deal with it," Darren reassured him with a faint smile.

"Fine, I believe you." Murphy had no reason to doubt Darren after the latter brought back such a powerful weapon.

After that, Darren and Murphy went to cultivate their martial arts separately. Even the slightest improvement would be helpful for them to deal with their future opponents. Moreover, Murphy had to take the time to master using the armor. If everything went well, he would have better chances of defeating the Gambling King.

Two weeks had quickly passed since the two cultivated nonstop.

The following day, the entire branch of the Starry Sword Sect was in an uproar again after the sudden arrival of Maxwell.

Darren and Murphy quickly responded, flew out, and landed on the ground in front of the array. On the other side, Maxwell was sta

not the type to cancel a deal that they had already agreed on.

But this time, it was different. They wanted to cancel the deal without any hesitation. They wanted to back out, fully knowing that they would need to give the payment back in double.

"What are you talking about?! How could you break a promise because of some measly token?" Maxwell asked in exasperation. He could not accept such a thing. After all, without them, he would not be able to destroy the array. All his efforts to eliminate Darren and Murphy would be put to waste.

"That's final. If you still want to deal with them, you can go by yourself," the old man answered coldly.

Hearing this, Darren was very satisfied. It was even better than he had expected.

He originally thought that the members of the Blood Abyss Sect might still help Maxwell destroy the array and would just avoid attacking him.

However, it turned out that the old man honored Darren's previous order to fully abandon their commitment to Maxwell. For now, they could say that they were already safe. They just needed to wait for reinforcements in order to fully deal with this matter.

"You useless bunch! I will sue you for breaking your commitment! Can you take responsibility for that?" Maxwell started to threaten the members of the Blood Abyss Sect in his anger.

"Watch who you're talking to, Maxwell! Say another word and I won't hesitate to crush your head!" the old man snapped back.

"Wait a minute. I don't agree with you either. Since we have already received his killing points, we should accomplish the mission for him. Did you forget that he paid a billion killing points? That's already enough for us to exchange for whatever we want. After completing this mission, we can even retire. You should actually rethink your decision."

Suddenly, the younger killer who looked very juvenile spoke and contradicted the old man.
