CHAPTER 311 WHAT WAS THE TRUTH (PART ONE)
After what happened, Darren started to be cautious. Making sure that he used his power efficiently this
time, he began activating his dark gold internal force.
When the force was building up inside him, Darren started to initiate internal force of the blade and
sword. At that moment, his integrated dark gold internal force of blade and sword, flooded towards the
old man with such extreme pressure.
"Ha! How do I forget that Darren just broke through the repression of cultivating both the sword and
blade skills together? Now he gains more strength! That is unbelievable!" Grand Blood Refiner said.
After moments of realization, he soon understood that what he just said was true. His mind was now
filled with praises and extreme adoration for Darren. Yet, as he looked up the sky, his heart was still
fluttering with fear whenever he thought about the dark lightning caused by Darren's force. Now, for the
second time, Darren let out the same force again. Grand Blood Refiner knew that If the horrible
lightning came back, it would be nothing but dreadful.
However, observing the sky for a while now, Grand Blood Refiner was expecting to see something
horrible. He was relieved, however, when he didn't see anything strange. Pulling out a breath of relief,
the blood refiner felt at ease.
On the other end, the elder's premium sword intent was on the top level. The sword intent was
reinforced and enhanced to its optimal state. Combined with the elder's legendary sword skill, his
sword intent crashed against Darren's dark gold internal force.
Following the callous clash, hundreds of blasts fluttered away. The impact force was so strong that
even the Grand Blood Refiner lost his balance and had to move backward. He was forced to unleash
his domain to protect himself from the impact force.
A collection of smoke and dust rose into the air and covered everything up to the point of zero visibility.
Even the mountains nearby seemed to tremble and bow at the potency of the force released by the
clashing of the two powerful auras. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
After a long time, when the smoke and dust settled in, the place ended up with quietness. Pure
devastation could be seen in the vast void. Everything that stood in the place before the battle was
nowhere to be found. All that was left was a chasm, a lifeless void.
Now Darren stood and floated upright in the air. Just a few feet across him, the emancipated elder was
so severely inflicted that he kneeled on the ground, sored, wounded, and bleeding.
Though the elder did not concede to his downfall, Darren assumed that he finally defeated the elder.
He was judging from how the elder looked now. Darren knew that the elder could no longer fight. If he
did so, it would be way too easy for Darren to end his life.
"Ha-ha. Darren, I must commend you. Well done, boy. You have become as strong as me now," Grand
Blood Refiner came closer to Darren and said, with an envious tone in his voice.
"It's not true, Sir. You are so strong to protect me from the attack of the elder's domain. Otherwise, I can
never be able to exert my force and defeat him. If you were not here, I could do nothing but run away
and be defeated," Darren replied and nodded at Grand Blood Refiner.
Darren also had his Blade and Sword Domain ready to be used against the elder. However, his domain
was much weaker than the elder. He knew it was not strong enough to fight against the elder's domain,
so he decided not to unleash his domain at all.
"I lose. Such a young lad defeated me," the elder admitted while still kneeling on the ground.
"I'm a loser. How can it be possible for me to take revenge for my master without enough strength?
How ridiculous I am, ha-ha!" he added.
The elder was crying and laughing at the same time. Darren and Grand Blood Refiner thought that he
lost his mind. They were both alarmed, however, when the elder raised his hand. He was about to
culminate his force and hit his head with his palm to commit suicide. After his defeat, he lost hope of
living. He thought that he was not strong enough to take revenge for his master. Thus it would be better
just to end his futile life.
Bang!
At the moment when the elder's skinny hand was about to hit his head, another hand appeared in the
air and stopped him from doing the heinous act.
"You don't need to do that, Sir. I have several questions to ask you." It was Darren who postponed the
elder's suicide. To divert his attention, he gave the elder a quizzical look and started asking questions.
Before the elder could say anything, Darren directly said, "To my knowledge, Mr. Hanson Xiao was
dead several thousand years ago. Moreover, Mr. Mathew Xiao's soul told me that the murderers who
killed Mr. Hanson Xiao were his three servants, one of whom was called Jesse Li. Is that true?"
"What nonsense! That fucking bastard, how dare he slander us?" responded the old man.
"Humph! Young man, did you really mean that the bastard died too?" the elder added in question. "You
are lying. He is a seven-star grand warrior. How can he be dead that easily?"
Without letting Darren answer the question, the elder ranted another question while shouting angrily.
"Believe it or not, the reason why I come here today is that a hint of his soul entrusted me to come and
find his dead body." Darren didn't explain too much. Because he knew that the elder would let out
everything he knew.
"Did you really meet him before?" the elder suddenly calmed down and asked. This time, he looked at
Darren with a serious look in his eyes.
"Of course. Why would I lie about that? I don't need to prove anything to you. Here, he gave me a
notebook. You can have a look and see if you can recognize the handwriting." While saying that,
Darren took out the note which Mathew had given him and handed it to the elder.
"Ah!" As soon as the elder saw the handwriting on the notebook, he couldn't help but quiver and move
backward to maintain his footings. In his eyes showed a strong feeling of hatred. With a heated
expression on his face, he exclaimed, "It's him, the old fucking bastard!"
"Sir, could you please tell me what happened? Mathew and Hanson are brothers. How could it be
possible that they wanted to kill each other?" Darren asked the elder with heightened confusion.
