CHAPTER 306 THE HELP FROM GRAND BLOOD REFINER

"Why does the old man wanted to kill me?" Darren was puzzled at the older man's odd behavior. Worst

was, the man's killing intent was growing more and more intense and almost made him suffocate.

"It's time to end your life. After all, your life is just painful and boring. I'm helping you to your freedom,

boy. I hope you don't blame me for your death," yakked the older man.

While saying that, the older man punched Darren's face with a high strength equaled to that of the

grand warrior.

Bang!

Despite the formidable attack, Darren wouldn't yield and refused to remain still while the older man was This belongs to - ©.

beating him up to death. He wouldn't allow himself to die even if he was wounded. Determined to fight

back, he tried his best to mobilize his dark gold internal force to resist the older man's attack.

When his dark gold internal force plowed into the older man's fist, the older man's domain shattered,

and a shower of stars fell from the sky. Of course, they were not the real stars but the illusion of his

opponent's domain.

Contrariwise, Darren's dark gold internal force was wholly suppressed by the older man's domain in a

moment. He didn't expect that such an older man had such potent strength.

"In terms of martial arts, you're nothing compared to my original master. Even he had failed and died,

let alone you. So, stop struggling!" the old man continued. The words that poured out from the older

man's mouth and the demeaning remarks about him irritated Darren up to the point that the sweats

formed on his forehead out of anger.

"You're a lunatic, and you will be a dead old man when I am done with you! My fate is none of your

business. What does my future matter to you? You're just making an excuse for your cold-blooded

murder," Darren yelled angrily.

"Give up now! Life is meaningless and dangerous for ants like you. They get themselves busy with

every day, and then, in the end, they would just be crushed to death. You are as inferior as an ant. I

have to help you out for your sake. Do you understand?" enraged this time, the older man bawled. The

expression he wore on his face showed that he was eager to put an end to Darren's life.

Unable to believe what he was hearing, Darren kept his silence. His strength was drained, and he

could not afford to lose some more. Thus he opted not to resist as well. Beforehand, if it were not

because of Darren's conflicting blade and sword skills which had caught the older man's attention, he

might have already been killed by his domain skill. After all, the older man's cultivation stage was in the

Grand Realm.

'Oh, yes. I still have a chance to survive, ' Darren thought momentarily. Although in such a crisis, he

was not flustered and was thinking about how to escape and save himself from the older man's wrath.

Having thought of something, he took out a blood-red bead from his Space Ring at once. He couldn't

take away his eyes from the shimmering red pearl as it was his last resort.

"The Grand Blood Refiner, help! Help me!" Performing one swift move with his body, Darren

transmitted his spiritual sense to the bead desperately.

"Free yourself, kid!" Saying this, the older man raised his hand at Darren once more, giving him a more

lucid attack this time.

"Stop!" On the spur of the moment, a weird voice was heard. Soon enough, a half-festered figure came

in a flash, he was the Grand Blood Refiner.

"The Bloodshed Domain!" shouted the Grand Blood Refiner. Taking his place between the older man

and Darren, the Grand Blood Refiner started deploying his domain to confront the older man's Starry

Domain.

"What a foul smell of heavy blood! You seem to be a demonic cultivator, but your cultivation level,

however, is degraded from the Grand Realm. Do you think you can defeat me?" asked the older man

as he was surprised by the Grand Blood Refiner's arrival. The older man knew that the Grand Blood

Refiner used to be a Grand Realm cultivator, but now his cultivation stage was declined, so there was

nothing to be afraid of. He was confident that the Grand Blood Refiner would do him no harm—not

even kill him.

"Darren, do you have any Primitive Stones which contains the Life Rule? Give it to me, quick!

Otherwise, both of us will die here. He's a top-level one-star grand warrior," Grand Blood Refiner urged

anxiously. The last thing Grand Blood Refiner wanted to happen was to lose his life in the battle with

someone who was an old yet grand warrior.

Contained in Darren's Space Ring, there were more than four hundred pieces of Primitive Stones,

including those from the Ancient Void Battlefield. Searching with his spiritual sense, he was glad to

have found ten pieces of Primitive Stones containing the Life Rule. Wasting no time, Darren took them

out and tossed them to Grand Blood Refiner in an instant.

By this time, the suspicion about the story that the Grand Blood Refiner told Darren before had been

wiped out Darren's mind. Facing a risky situation such as fighting a grand warrior, Grand Blood Refiner

was very much willing to help Darren. Thus it did not matter to Darren whether his story was true or not.

As the stones landed on Grand Blood Refiner's hands, he prepared himself to assimilate the Primitive

Stones, and he absorbed the Life Rule from them. Momentarily, his blood surged through his body like

waves.

On that point, his half-festered body recovered at a visible speed, but the strength he gained was not

sufficient to sustain him throughout. The Primitive Stones were insufficient.

Yet, in one way or another, the Life Rule not only recovered his bodily strength but also restored his

elixir field. His elixir field incurred a blow during his last fight as a powerful rule cultivator attacked it.

Just then, along with a buzzing sound, Darren noticed that the sky changed in color and became half

bloody and half starry. This might be the aftermath of the two battling auras of the older man and Grand

Blood Refiner. Little did Darren knew that the changing color of the sky was an indication that Grand

Blood Refiner's domain was now on par with the older man's. Thus, the fight between the two masters

became a confrontation of each other's physical strengths.

"You go first, get out of here. Let me handle this old man for you." Saying that, Grand Blood Refiner

pushed Darren out of the domain using his strengthened power.

"Thank you! Be vigilant, sir!" Darren reminded sincerely. He was so grateful for Grand Blood Refiner for

coming to his aid.

After getting out of the domain, Darren flew up into the sky. He took one last glance at the purplish

island below, where he just left.

He was not surprised to see that the island was ruptured, and the sea was rolling up huge waves. Even

at a distance away, Darren could sense the immense exchange of the different auras. All he could do

was wish for the Grand Blood Refiner's success. His reverie was interrupted when the colorful lights of

blood-red and silver-white domains were flashing alternately over the island.

Darren could imagine how fierce the battle was between Grand Blood Refiner and the older man.

As much as he wanted to help, he could not do so. Right now, he needed immediate healing instead of

exposing himself to more injuries in the battle. He was wounded badly.

Thus, looking away from the island and bidding Grand Blood Refiner good luck, Darren continued flying

dozens of miles and landed on an exposed reef in the middle of the sea.

After he sat down, he took out some elixirs. But instead of taking the medicine immediately, he just

stared at them with complicated eyes.

'If I can't recover as soon as possible, the injury will worsen in a few days, and it would eventually kill

me. While if I take this medicine while healing my wounds, it will undoubtedly raise my cultivation realm

to the Wonder Realm. Reaching the Wonder Realm before fusing the sword intent and blade intent will

threaten my life too. What should I do now?' Darren mused as he weighed things over in his mind.

There were more than two hundred pieces of Primitive Stones with the Heavenly Repression Rule

stored in his Space Ring. He started to worry that the stones might fall short in number and would not

be enough for his upcoming battles.

"Ouch!" Darren cried out when he felt a sharp, searing pain.

"Master! I'm coming." In a flash, a dark shadow approached Darren.

"Where the hell did you go, you son of a bitch? You almost killed me again. I must teach you a lesson

after I recover this time," Darren yelled as he felt really frustrated and troubled at the same time.

He burst into anger as he saw the Water Kylin with his beaming face, standing in front of him. Darren

wondered why the Water Kylin was always nowhere to be found during critical times when he was

supposed to be Darren's helper in the first place.

"All right, all right. Calm down now, my master! Let's see what I've got for you first," the Water Kylin

chuckled. Though he had a mirthful tone while he was speaking, he also looked weak and miserable

with badly mutilated paws. The skin just below his stomach was wounded, and blood was dripping out

of the wounds.

When he noticed all this, Darren's anger at the poor creature, ceased. It was replaced with pity when

he realized that the Water Kylin had also been in danger and was seriously injured.

Thinking about it, Darren even lamented that the fellow, though a nuisance, was so pathetic that he

was being beaten up most of the time.

"What did you say? Can you make it faster? I'm about to faint. Take me to a safer place then!" Darren

ordered in a complaining voice.

"Yes, master, here it is!" the Water Kylin said and opened his mouth. A black stone flew out of his

mouth and floated in the air.

To Darren's surprise, the small stone that came out of the Water Kylin's mouth grew into the size of a

small hill.

With his eyes wide, Darren was stunned, staring at the black stone as he sensed the massive volume

of Heavenly Repression Rule that it contained.

"What a huge Primitive Stone is that! And it contains the Heavenly Repression Rule. Unbelievable!" he

muttered.

Such a vast Primitive Stone was almost equivalent to more than ten thousand pieces of small stones,

which were stored inside his Space Ring.

"Where did you get that?" Looking at the Water Kylin, Darren asked, unable to hide his disbelief.

"Damn, it's a long story. I wanted to pursue a female Kylin, but she turned out to be an illusion or a trap.

When I ran away from that deception to save myself, I found this stone and brought it back for you,"

replied the Water Kylin while gasping for air.

"Owwww! It hurts! Am I going to die this time?

I'm so smart and brave, yet my life is so short..." Water Kylin's voice gradually diminished. Darren

noticed that the beast had difficulty in breathing, and he seemed to be losing his balance.

As Darren took a closer look at him, he found the beast's eyes lost their vitality, and he fell unconscious

into the boundless sea.
