CHAPTER 1377 REVENGE

Upon seeing this scene, Darren started to understand why the straw man following him since the

beginning was different from the rest.

It turned out that he was a variant straw man, and he wasn't restricted by the straw girl.

As the straw man walked over, Darren took the opportunity to dodge and go where Finley and the

others were.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

"Darren, why are you here? Run away quickly! These straw men are very powerful." His companions

were surprised and worried as they reunited with Darren.

"That's right. Look at me! I was beaten by those guys and got myself injured," Weber said, feeling very

morose.

Swish!

Darren quickly released his sword intent and cut off the straw ropes binding them.

"Let's get out of here first," Darren said as he looked at the situation of the straw man and the straw

girl.

Currently, they were in a stalemate. Both of them could not move freely, so Darren and the others

planned to take this chance to run as far as they could.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

About thirty of them immediately flew away from that area.

At the same time, the ordinary straw men standing in the wilderness hesitated for a while when they

saw Darren and the others escape. They were thinking if they should chase after them or not.

While they were left standing there, Darren and his companions managed to fly far away.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, they heard the straw girl roar viciously from the distance. Then, hundreds of ordinary straw

men immediately moved and flew towards the direction of Darren and the rest.

Soon enough, they saw that a large group of straw men was already at their tails.

"Darren, how about we run away in different directions so we could lose them?" someone suggested as

he saw that the straw men were already closing in.

"No!" Darren strongly refused. "There are too many of them. If we go our separate ways, we will easily

be defeated by them one after another," he continued.

To be fair, the fighting power of their group was on par with that of the straw men. However, when it

came to defense, they would surely be overwhelmed. After all, these straw men didn't feel any fatigue

or pain. Needless to say, these young talents would definitely be at a disadvantage in battle.

Especially if they faced them in one-on-one or one-to-many battles, Darren was very certain that they

would have no chance against them.

However, when they were together, things could go differently. All of them had different strengths, skills,

and methods of fighting. Some were good at attacking, some specialized in healing, while some were

good in making traps. Therefore, even if they were outnumbered, once they utilized their skills

accordingly, they still had a chance to bring down these straw men.

Therefore, they should stick together instead of going their separate ways.

"You're right. For now, let's do our best to escape from them. If we have no other choice, then we'll

engage them!"

As they made up their minds, everyone focused their strength into escaping.

"What?"

However, just as Darren and the others were flying fast to get away from the straw men, some figures

in black suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

Only when they got close enough did Darren and the others realize that these figures in black were

actually humans.

"Hey, don't just stand there! Run! The straw men are chasing us!" someone shouted to warn them.

However, these figures in black just stood still as if they didn't hear what the young talent said.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Suddenly, more than ten streams of god's power shot towards Darren and his companions, forcing

them to step back.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" one of Darren's companions shouted, thinking that these

guys were nuts. Who on their right minds would just attack someone out of nowhere?

As Darren and his companions were forced to stop, the black figures flew over and surrounded them.

They started to realize that these men didn't just appear out of sheer coincidence. They felt these

people's enmity towards their group.

"Fancy meeting you again here. Do you still remember me?"

one of the men stepped forward and said to Darren. He showed his face which was covered with scars.

It could be noticed that they were caused by incurable injuries.

"Who the hell are you? What do you have against us?" one of the young talents shouted angrily.

"Ha! You guys are so forgetful." Upon saying that, the other men in black also drew closer to them.

"Shit! It's them!" Most of the young talents who were with Darren eventually recognized the aura of

these men in black. They were the people who were expelled from the team before.

"Oh, it's you shameless guys! Get out of our way!" holds text © rights.

Boom!

The one with the scars on his face suddenly hit the young talent who spoke and sent him flying.

Everyone was taken aback and had a bad feeling. They perceived that the person who just attacked

their companion seemed to possess great strength. That kind of strength... Could it be that he had

broken through to the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm?

As they pondered on this thought, their faces grew pale and their bodies became numb.

No wonder that these people deliberately blocked their way. If they were able to increase their strength

greatly, they must be here to exact their revenge.

At that moment, Eallard stepped forward and shouted, "Fine! Let's talk about the matter between us

after we all escaped from the straw men. Otherwise, everyone will die! Listen to me first and set your

priorities right."

"What? Fuck off! You're not going to tell us what to do!"

the man with scars on his face roared furiously, making Eallard back off immediately.

"Tell me, Eallard. Do you think you're powerful enough? If you just didn't pretend to be benevolent and

righteous at that time, Darren would have already died! Do you remember that time when we were

besieged by those skeletons? Where were you? You were just watching on the sidelines with an

indifferent expression on your face, weren't you?!

You'll pay dearly for that. It's time for our retribution. All of you are going to die today! Ha-ha!" The man

laughed maniacally as he threatened Darren and all of the young talents with him.

At the same time, hundreds of straw men had already caught up and quickly surrounded them.

"Remember this, I, Sewell Fang, am not a person to be trifled with. Just you wait. I'll kill you with my

own hands today." The man called Sewell Fang glared at Darren with a sinister smile on his face.

"Don't be so complacent. Look around you first and see for yourself if you can escape."

Darren didn't take the threat against him seriously. After all, all of them, including Sewell Fang and his

companions, were surrounded by the straw men. These creatures wouldn't discriminate, and he was

sure that all of them would suffer the same fate.

"Are you talking about these straw men? What about them? We'll actually enjoy what they're going to

do with you and your friends." Without any hint of fear, Sewell Fang and his men started walking and

tried to get out of the circle made by the straw men.

Seeing that they weren't fazed at the sight of these straw men, Darren and the rest of them were utterly

shocked. They couldn't believe what they were doing.

Did these villains have the strength to deal with these straw men? Were they really able to reach the

middle-level of the Celestial God Realm? These were their thoughts as they saw Sewell's group

casually approach the straw men that were surrounding them.

"Get out of the way, you bastards!"

As the straw men stood firm and blocked their way, Sewell Fang and his men immediately took out a

colorful flag and waved it in front of them.

In an instant, all of the straw men suddenly made way. It seemed that they were afraid of the flag and

didn't dare to provoke its bearer.

That was when Darren and the others realized why Sewell Fang and his group didn't fear the straw

men at all. Apparently, they had obtained a certain item that could restrain the straw men.

"Come on, guys! Let's enjoy this scene. Let's do to them what they did to us." Sewell Fang and his men

flew and watched from above, waiting for a good show that should happen very soon.

"Damn it! What are we going to do?" someone shouted in frustration.

"Get close to each other. We'll fight them together," Darren said in a low voice as he focused his eyes

on the straw men.

However, just as when they were about to launch an attack, someone suddenly flew towards Sewell's

group.

"Sewell, what happened to you before has nothing to do with me. It's all Eallard's fault that you were

driven out. Please let me go."

Fearing death, one of the young talents chose to beg for mercy in front of Sewell Fang.

"Oh? Did I hear that right?" A wicked grin immediately appeared on Sewell Fang's face. "Do you think I

will let you off the hook just because you said that you have nothing to do with it?"

Then, another man in black approached Sewell Fang and whispered something in his ear.

After Sewell Fang heard the words of one of his men, his expression suddenly changed. "Well, since it

has nothing to do with you, you can come out. I promise you that we won't harm you." Sewell Fang

originally planned to kill this man, but then there was something that changed his mind.

"Really? Thank you so much, Sewell!"

With that, Sewell Fang waved the flag and led the young talent to safely get out of the encirclement

made by the straw men.

"Let me get this straight. As long as you defect from Darren Chu, I will assure you that I will protect you

from your inevitable death. Think about it carefully. I will only give you thirty seconds to consider my

offer." Sewell's gaze swept across the young talents who were on the ground. His eyes clearly showed

his evil intention.

He thought that if Darren was eventually abandoned by his companions, it would be more interesting

than killing him directly. He wanted Darren to experience being betrayed by his companions. He

wanted to see the helplessness, desperation, and regret in his eyes.

"Sewell, I swear that what happened before also has nothing to do with me. Please save me."

"Sewell, I have always been on your side. I thought that you were gone so I had no choice but to go

with them. I was actually worried about you all this time."

Within the thirty seconds that Sewell Fang gave them, five people had immediately defected. Thus, all

five of them were escorted to safety.
