CHAPTER 345 FIGHT WITH BRYAN
Cold and fierce blade intent surged forward, but Darren didn't defend against it. Instead, he retreated
with Diana in his arms. Since she was severely injured, he needed to put her in a safe place.
Unconscious and unable to protect herself, she might die from the battle between Darren and Bryan.
Darren dodged Bryan's attack. After flying for a while, he tossed Diana in the air, and her body
vanished in a flash.
What Bryan didn't know was that Darren had thrown Diana in the direction where Chad and the other
grand warriors were hiding. When her body flew close to where his friends were standing, Darren
transmitted a voice. Chad caught her and settled her as per Darren's instructions.
Now that he wasn't worried about Diana's safety, Darren was ready for the inevitable fierce fight. This
battle had attracted much attention.
The Blade Holy Lord had four helpers—three one-star grand warriors and a two-star grand warrior,
while eight one-star grand warriors were ready to help Darren. It had been about a thousand years
since such a great war had happened in the southern land.
"Little bastard, you saved Diana. But it doesn't matter. I am going to tear you to pieces." Bryan had
been eager to kill Darren. He had spent many nights dreaming about the day that he would get his
vengeance.
Darren hovered in the air and didn't say anything because he was transmitting messages to some of
the grand warriors.
"Darren, should we step forward and help you fight?" Chad asked, using his spiritual sense.
"No. The grand warriors supporting Bryan haven't joined the fight. Bryan, that son of a bitch, made me
suffer tremendously. I want to kill him myself. Once you join the fight, I won't have that chance."
And, Darren was right. If all the grand warriors joined in the fight, chaos would ensue, and he would
lose the opportunity he sought so eagerly. For the moment, it appeared as though the grand warriors
who were supporting Bryan were not interested in fighting. This was the perfect time to kill Bryan.
"Gerald, in my opinion, everything will be over once we kill that man," said a one-star grand warrior,
one of Bryan's helpers. He thought there was no need to waste time.
"Oh, don't worry. Let us take our time. He cultivates both sword and blade skills. I have never met such
a cultivator. I'm curious to see his skills. Besides, Bryan doesn't know what is good for him. It's good to
let that lad teach him a lesson." The two-star grand warrior named Gerald was interested in watching
the fight. Although Darren was young, he was strong.
"Okay. We will wait and watch the fight," echoed the three one-star grand warriors. As Gerald was the
strongest warrior in the group, the others wouldn't argue with him.
"Don't join the battle unless the situation is life-threatening. Otherwise, we will miss the highlights of the
life or death battle. Do you understand?" Gerald ordered.
"Yes. We will do as you have said," replied the three one-star grand warriors.
Suddenly, thunder was heard in Lotus Holy Land's large square.
The wind blew as Darren unleashed his powerful blade intent and sword intent.
"Hum? The blade intent and sword intent are unusual. It seems as though there is something in it,"
Gerald, the two-star grand warrior, surmised with surprise.
"Why could I feel ice aura in his sword intent and flame aura in his blade intent?" wondered a one-star
grand warrior, who cultivated the Ice Domain.
"Oh, I see. That man's blade intent and sword intent have ice intent and flame intent. This is surprising.
He must be as impressive as Bryan explained. I am afraid that the whole world will change if this young
man grows up," Gerald, the two-star grand warrior, said solemnly after observing Darren carefully.
"Is this talent likely to reach the Holy Realm?" asked a one-star grand warrior.
"Indeed, he has the talent to reach the Holy Realm. He can be called a nonesuch genius of his NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
generation." The two-star grand warrior, Gerald, apparently thought very highly of Darren.
Bryan felt great pressure surge through him when he perceived the blade intent and sword intent.
Several days ago, Darren's avatar had wounded him. Ever since, he had been craving for the
opportunity to prove himself in a battle against Darren.
Bryan didn't tell the others that he admired Darren. It was natural for Bryan to be in awe of Darren's
abilities as he was young and strong. But Darren had killed his sons. The hatred he felt wouldn't allow
Bryan to admit that Darren had incredible talent openly.
"It's time to end this. Go to hell!" A red light erupted from Bryan's blade, after which the strong blade
intent formed a violent storm that headed for Darren.
Some grand warriors exerted their domain skills to blockade the square as they saw that Bryan had
begun his attack. They worried that the forbidden area would be damaged if the battle was too fierce.
All the grand warriors knew that any influence to the forbidden area would lead to their death. They
wouldn't survive even if they had ten lives!
"Humph, Blood Dragon Phantom!"
Darren summoned the inheritance skill of the Dragon Blood Clan to end the battle as soon as possible.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Darren, together with his eight avatars, surrounded Bryan and released their attacks. The blade intent
and the sword intent instantly eliminated Bryan's blood-red blade intent.
"Omnipotent Talent Skill!"
Bryan was at a disadvantage in the first round of the battle. And so, he didn't hesitate for a moment
when summoning his Omnipotent Talent Skill to attack Darren.
Darren knew that Bryan was not weak. He surmised that he might even be stronger than Shane.
His Omnipotent Talent Skill could have killed all the weak creatures and destroyed all the houses within
a hundred miles of the square had the grand warriors not cordoned off the area with their domain skills!
"Unite!" Darren shouted. As his avatars fused with him, his vital energy surged to its peak.
Rumble!
Darren's blade intent and sword intent rushed toward Bryan, who was levitating above him.
The square was shrouded in the blade intent and sword intent, and murderous intent permeated the air.
Everyone present trembled with fear.
Rumble! Rumble!
The loud sounds of the fierce battle between Darren and Bryan led the grand warriors to cover their
ears.
The sword and the blade consistently clashed with each other during the battle.
After several quarters of an hour, Bryan's Omnipotent Talent Skill was defeated. He stood in the middle
of the large square, breathing heavily as he collected himself.
The grand warriors, including Chad, were still safe in their hiding place, which was not far from the
square. They released their spiritual senses to check the situation.
After witnessing Darren's strong energy, they were shocked. Half a year ago, Darren was almost at the
top level of the Mysterious Realm. How could he be nearly as strong as a grand warrior after returning
from the Raksa Sea?!
"What a genius Darren is!" Chad shouted. Then he added, "Despite his progress and strength, he was
respectful to us. I thought he was weak. I didn't know that he was as strong as a grand warrior. This
surprises me!"
"This man hid his power from us and was modest in his behavior. I didn't know what he was capable
of," mumbled Brian You, another grand warrior.
There was shock written on the other grand warriors' faces as well. 'This man is still so young, and yet,
he has cultivated powerful blade skills and sword skills. He is at the primary stage of the Wonder
Realm, but he could fight against a grand warrior. I really admire him!' The other grand warriors could
not help but wonder.
"Stop talking and pay attention to the fight. If the grand warriors on the Blade Holy Lord's side suddenly
attack Darren, he will be in danger. We must be ready to save him at any time," warned one of the
grand warriors. The others nodded and focused on the fight.
The Grand Blood Refiner was watching the fight from one corner of the square. He was idle and didn't
worry about Darren at all. He had seen Darren beat a weak grand warrior in the Raksa Sea and had
great confidence in his abilities.
However, he was annoyed by the presence of the other grand warriors. He didn't know that Darren had
other helpers. He also worried that Darren wouldn't win if the remaining warriors joined the fight.
'After Darren kills his enemy, I will jump out and take him away. Fighting with so many grand warriors is
not wise, ' the Grand Blood Refiner thought. He closed his eyes and focused on the two-star grand
warrior's aura. Once he recovered his full power, he would kill the grand warrior fighting with Darren
now. At that time, it would be as easy as killing an ant!
"Blade Domain!"
Bryan was exhausted after the battle with Darren. However, he could not admit defeat. With no
alternatives left, he summoned his domain skill, although it was incomplete.
"Little bastard! Taste the power of my domain!" Bryan's eyes were red and filled with rage. He thought
that his domain skill would help him to kill Darren.
"Go to hell, old bastard!" Darren shouted as he unleashed his Blade and Sword Domain.
"Ah!" Bryan's expression reflected the horror he felt. He yelled in fear, "Impossible! You have domain
too?"
