Chapter 1467 Escort

Darren's strength had improved since he had comprehended the essence of Todd's swordsmanship.

He had calculated that with his cultivation base at the upper-level of the Celestial God Realm, he might be able to contend with an opponent at the middle-level of the Superior God Realm, if he used all his strength. Of course, such an opponent would have to be an ordinary warrior at the middle-level of the Superior God Realm. Any more powerful and talented, and it would prove difficult for him to defeat such an opponent.

He already possessed incredible strength, but unfortunately, it was still far from enough for him. He was Darren, a Defiant Master, who always demanded more of himself.

"Seeing as you've already learnt the perfect connection, you no longer have to consciously comprehend the information you have. You need only feel it out in actual combat from now on and in this way you can elevate your level," informed Todd.

"Thank you very much for your guidance, sir," Darren said, truly grateful. It was not every day that you found someone willing to share this sort of genuine understanding of swordsmanship so freely.

"You're welcome. Rest assured you may cultivate here in peace from now on. Although I may not be the number one warrior in the Chaotic Region, I promise to kill anyone who would dare break into my territory trying to harm you.

And if the other four kings come, I can help you escape as well. Do not worry about anything except your cultivation. I've got it covered."

Todd was making it clear that he would serve as Darren's right hand man from now on and no one would be able to cause him any harm here in his territory. His words and promises moved Darren. He was very thankful for his hospitality and kindness. After all, he had known Todd for only a couple months. They weren't even all that close yet.

Darren wished he could stay here to concentrate on cultivation, but he was still worried about Yolanda. She was still in great danger.

"Sir, I have some help I need to ask of you," Darren asked slowly, somewhat reluctant. He did not want to take advantage of him. But he had considered it carefully; he was afraid he would not be able to outrun or withstand the pursuit of other forces on his own and so needed to ask Todd for help.

"Go ahead," Todd replied simply, unbothered that a request would be made of him.

"I have a relative trapped in the Second Dangerous Area right now. I have to rescue her," revealed Darren.

"Darren, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do about that. It's very difficult for us deputy gods to step into the Five Dangerous Areas."

The restrictions of the Five Dangerous Areas were set specifically for deputy gods. It was because of this that almost none of the truly powerful warriors of the Chaotic Region were able to enter into it. The warrior

th Lu were sworn brothers. It was said that they had known each other since they were young. They had grown up together and risen up together. They were closer than even most biological brothers.

"If that's the case, then his strength is probably on par with yours I imagine?"

Darren figured that a sworn brother of a king should be very powerful too.

"Him? He's way beneath me, far more inferior! He's not even close to being in my league!" Todd said scornfully, feeling horribly insulted. He did not think Grady deserved to even be mentioned in the same sentence as him.

"Oh. Uh... Then what realm is he at?" Darren asked nervously, trying to be careful with his next words.

"He is at the middle-level of the Superior God Realm. That's it."

"Really? That's it? His realm doesn't seem that high. How is he then able to fight side by side with a king?" Darren asked curiously.

How could a warrior of Grady's strength seize power together with a king? Any reclusive cultivator would be able to kill him without breaking too much of a sweat.

"It's complicated. He doesn't possess much real strength, but he does have many strange, sinister and vicious powers and treasures. Even deputy gods are careful not to provoke him too easily. He's a real devil who depends entirely on external tools and weapons."

Darren frowned, never having come across such a person; he was quite intrigued. Grady must have a lot of pretty serious treasures if he was a warrior at the middle-level of the Superior God Realm who even deputy gods feared.

"This young man is quite good-looking, if I may say so. How about I buy you guys some drinks?"

Grady spoke to Darren after they stepped out of the transmission array. He had a vile look across his face; it was unnerving and made Darren uncomfortable.

"Get away from us!"

Roland growled viciously. He had no patience for this man.
