CHAPTER 1359 SHAMELESS VILLAIN

The earth shook, and the sound of footsteps reverberated from behind the massive stone.

When Darren released his god's sense, he detected that countless skeleton soldiers were on the other

side of the enormous stone.

"Sir, what are those skeleton soldiers? Are they an Archean race?" Darren asked.

"No." The Primitive Emperor shook his head before continuing, "There was no such Archean race. I

guess some master created them for war. They have been rotting for so long that I don't believe they

will have much strength."

"Well, they do seem weaker than cultivators at the low-level of the Celestial God Realm. However, what

they lack in terms of strength, they make up for in number." Darren agreed with a nod.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of them," replied the Primitive Emperor. Now that he had returned to his

hometown, there was a continuous flow of Archean godly energy for him to control. Thus, it would not

be hard for him to deal with all these skeletons.

"Hold on, sir." Surprisingly enough, Darren stopped him.

"What's wrong, Darren? If I don't kill them, you may be in danger, along with all the people outside.

They may be killed or severely injured," the Primitive Emperor frowned as he asked. He couldn't fathom

why Darren would stop him.

The expression on Darren's face darkened as he sent a piece of his memory to the Primitive Emperor.

It showed him the incident that happened when Darren wanted to borrow elixirs.

"Humph!"

A snort escaped the Primitive Emperor when he learned the reason for Darren's annoyance.

"How could these people be so cold and shameless?"

It wouldn't have hurt those people to help out. On the contrary, assisting Darren would have been as

easy as lifting a finger! But they chose to be silent and pretended to heal their wounds instead.

Since they turned a blind eye to his plight, Darren wasn't inclined to protect them.

"Let's go and see."

Darren and the Primitive Emperor flew to the other side of the stone. Since Finley and the others were

still recovering, the Primitive Emperor released a streak of god's power to protect them.

On the other side of the stone, the skeletons were approaching the group of humans. While there were

thousands of skeletons, there were only dozens of human talents.

The cultivators panicked. The last time they encountered a dangerous situation, there had only been a

few hundred skeletons. At that time, they had tried to flee, and over ten cultivators had died. This time,

they were faced with a significantly larger army of skeletons. Fear and horror reflected on their faces as

they wondered how they would deal with the situation. Since there were over a thousand skeletons in

this group, they knew that they would be challenged when resisting.

"What should we do?"

They huddled closer in the corner and whispered to one another.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Several skeletons suddenly rushed over, while the others stopped about a thousand feet away. They

would be part of the second wave of attacks on these humans.

Soon, the skeletons changed direction and headed for Darren and the Primitive Emperor.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, the Primitive Emperor waved his hand. The faint yellow god's power he released, cut

through the skeletons and turned them into dust.

"Oh, my!"

"Who is he? He's so strong!"

"That is not our concern. All that matters is that he is human. He will save us!"

The young human talents were relieved when they witnessed the Primitive Emperor's capacity.

Eager to seek protection, they moved closer to Darren.

"Bro, who is this?"

the young man, who had helped Darren earlier, asked as he walked closer to them.

"A senior of mine," Darren replied. Since this young man had helped him, Darren was respectful toward

him.

The young man didn't have time to think about why this middle-aged man was here. He cupped his

hands toward Darren and then glanced at the Primitive Emperor, and said, "Sir, it is nice to meet you.

Please help us with these skeletons. We would appreciate any assistance you can offer us!"

"Help you? No way," the Primitive Emperor declined. He then condensed a faint yellow barrier in front

of him and Darren to protect them.

The young man was stunned. He couldn't believe that the Primitive Emperor would refuse so

straightforwardly.

"Buddy, come stand with us." Darren invited the young man to join them behind the barrier.

The young man took a few steps forward and passed through the shield without any hindrance.

"Well... Sir, aren't you going to help the others?" the young man asked. A mixture of curiosity,

astonishment, and terror reflected in his expression.

"Ha-ha." Darren burst into laughter before saying, "You saw how they treated my friends and me. Do

you feel that I should help them now? I don't think so."

"Alas." The young man sighed and turned to glance at the humans outside the barrier. He shuddered

when he thought of what horror awaited them.

"My name is Eallard Liu. May I know your name?" he turned and introduced himself to Darren and the

Primitive Emperor.

"My name is Darren Chu. It's nice to meet you, Eallard." Darren nodded and smiled.

Meanwhile, the skeletons moved forward in tandem, like a wall of destruction.

"Hurry up! Let's go to Eallard. It's safe over there!" Everyone ran toward the barrier the Primitive

Emperor had formed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, instead of passing through, the cultivators bumped into the shield. Blood sprayed everywhere

from the intense collision.

"Why can't I get in?"

"Let us in!"

The people were aghast. Hope had soared in their hearts, and relief coursed through them when they

saw that this master could defend against the skeletons. However, they were unable to get inside the

shield. The panic that had almost consumed them earlier returned like a vengeful flood.

Confusion gleamed in their eyes until they saw Darren. This powerful master who had just shown up

must be close with Darren, whom they had just offended by not lending elixirs. He must have a grudge

against them and asked the master to not share the shield with them.

"Buddy, you've gone too far! You want us to die just because of an elixir? Come on!"

"We didn't do anything wrong. A Resuscitation Elixir is equivalent to a life. We were concerned about

our lives. What's wrong with that?"

They began reasoning with Darren from outside the barrier.

The frustration Darren felt when he was in the hopeless situation returned when they mentioned the

elixirs. Rage surged within him to the point where he felt like his blood was boiling.

"Your life is precious and worth saving. But my friends' lives were not? What's more, I would have

returned them to you when their lives were not in danger. But you just closed your eyes and pretended

to heal your injuries. You can't even acknowledge that you were cowardly and selfish? Only those who Belonging to .

have no sense of shame can do such despicable things.

Now that you are in danger, you feel entitled to our help, right? I'm sorry. But your lives have nothing to

do with us. Fuck off!"

Darren roared coldly.

In fact, he didn't think it was necessary to explain his decision. If he allowed his emotions to control his

actions, he would have used his sword intent on them to dispel the hatred that had filled his heart.

"Shameless villain! There is no need to beg for his help. We can rely on ourselves."

"Yes, these skeletons are not a big deal. Just you wait. If I'm lucky and survive, I'll remember how you

sacrificed us and consider you my enemy for the rest of my life. Humph!"

"This is unreal. Who knew that there is such a villain in the world? It's the misfortune of the entire

human race to have a human watch his kind be killed!"

In their hearts, Darren was the epitome of maliciousness.

Darren sneered and burst into laughter when he heard their absurd accusations. They didn't deserve to

live in the world.

"Alas," Eallard Liu sighed repeatedly. "They've changed into monsters. I wish I had never met them. If I

were outside, I would kill them one by one. I can't bear it!"

Even he couldn't stand it. He hated these people who only cared about themselves. Not only had they

ignored Darren when he begged for help, but they had also selfishly clung to the elixirs that he

desperately needed. And now, when Darren was behaving with them the way they had acted with him,

they were making false countercharges.

Eallard Liu had intended to beseech the Primitive Emperor to help them despite their actions earlier.

Now it seemed that there was no such need. They deserved death.

"Kill!"

The skeletons charged. The panicked cultivators summoned their skills and courage and turned to face

their opponents. Both sides collided with each other fiercely.

Dust billowed, and the ground trembled. God's power was everywhere!

The two sides fought fiercely.

Six hours passed, and over ten cultivators had been killed. Of course, the skeletons also suffered

significant losses.

The fight lasted for three days and three nights.

On the human side, half of the cultivators had lost their lives. But, all the skeletons had been

annihilated. After all, these skeletons had already decayed, and their strength was not comparable to

that of the real Celestial God Realm masters.

The cultivators who survived were severely injured—some had broken arms or legs, and blood gushed

from every wound. They looked extremely miserable.

Darren, the Primitive Emperor, and Eallard Liu watched the entire battle from inside the barrier's safety.

Later, when Finley and the others woke, they joined them behind the shield.

After everything settled, a young cultivator, who held a blood-stained spear, limped toward the barrier.

"See? We killed all the skeletons even without your help!

Do you still remember what we said before the fight began? If any of us survives, we will consider you

to be our enemy for life! You shameless rat! You've brought disgrace to the entire human race!"

he bellowed arrogantly. After all, he had just defeated enemy troops despite being part of a force that

was inferior in number.
