CHAPTER 473 THE LAST STRUGGLE

When Darren heard Carey speaking, he didn't care that the rule cultivators had crossed into the array.

He immediately turned his head to look at Carey and asked, "Did you succeed, young master?"

"I still need about an hour. You have to protect me until then!" Beads of sweat were running down

Carey's face. Clearly, he was at the most crucial moment of the inheritance.

"Okay. Don't worry, young master. I will try my best to keep you safe." Darren let out a small sigh of

relief after hearing the young master's words.

Carey didn't reply. He fell silent as he concentrated on his inheritance breakthrough. But before that, he

employed another small defensive array to safeguard himself. This was another treasure that Carey

had brought to protect his life.

Seeing that the fifteen rule cultivators were about to enter, Darren didn't have the time to think. He

rushed out without a second thought, and at the same time, he put a considerable amount of his Spirit

Power into the crystal ball to activate the power of the portion of the master's soul.

Earlier, only Carey could activate the crystal ball as he was the master's biological son. But when

Carey gave the crystal ball to Darren, he removed this restriction so that Darren's Spirit Power could

also activate the crystal ball.

"Huh? The impostor is approaching us! Come on. Let's kill him!"

Seeing that Darren was out, the fifteen powerful rule cultivators used their rule power to launch attacks

at him with all their might.

All kinds of powerful weapons, blades, hurricanes, Shackle Runes, and even thunder were aimed at

Darren, in unison.

Darren was now facing over ten different kinds of attacks!

To the rule cultivators' surprise, Darren didn't dodge. They didn't know that he had already released the

power of the small part of the master's soul.

Rumble!

With a loud sound, a horrifying strong aura appeared.

The rule cultivators gasped in fright when they sensed the frightening aura. It was so intense that they

almost stopped breathing.

"It... It's our master!"

"No! It's the master's soul power!"

The rule cultivators were so stunned by the figure that had been condensed by the power that they

almost fell to the ground in fear.

"Don't panic! The impostor must have gotten the young master's treasure. Come on, continue the

attacks!" The most powerful elder was the first to realize what was happening. He immediately ordered

everyone else to continue bombarding Darren. Hearing his order, the other cultivators snapped out of

their trance.

"Whoever attacks my son will die!"

the master's figure spat out these words in a stone-cold voice. Under the control of Darren's Spirit

Power, several soul attacks were launched at the rule cultivators.

"Ahhhhh!"

Ten powerful rule cultivators cried out in pain. After a short while, they exploded. To be more precise,

their souls couldn't take the intensity of the attacks, and so, they burst.

Seeing this, Darren couldn't help but be secretly surprised. After all, the power of a few attacks from a

fragment of the master's soul was so strong that it immediately killed ten powerful rule cultivators! 'How

powerful is the master?' Darren couldn't help but wonder.

In the blink of an eye, there were only five elders left. The only reason these five survived the attacks

was that one of the elders had mastered a rule formula that could resist soul attacks. He then used this

formula to protect himself and four other rule cultivators.

"Step back, and let me try!"

After the attacks settled, one of the elders stepped forward and firmly instructed the surviving elders.

"He only has the power of a portion of our master's soul. Let me kill him!"

This elder happened to have mastered another rule formula that could kill souls.

Shoop! Shoop! Shoop!

Right as the elder was speaking, the shadow of the Red Inferno Sect's master re-launched new soul

attacks.

"Back off! All of you. Third Elder, kill him!" The elder who had just saved their lives stepped forward

again. He stood in front of the others and used his skill to resist the attacks.

Meanwhile, the Third Elder remained silent as he focused on starting the rule formula. A violet-green

light ball made of runes appeared in his hand. He planned to throw the ball at the master's shadow.

'Ha! Do you really think that you can resist my attack?' Darren mocked in his mind. A cold smirk grew

on his face when he realized that the elders were so busy resisting the attacks from the soul shadow

that they had completely forgotten about him.

"Hurricane Teleportation Skill!" After summoning the teleportation skill, Darren disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, he reappeared in front of the five elders. Not only that, he had activated the

avatar skill as well. Now, besides his real body, eight of Darren's avatars also stood before the elders.

Rumble!

Darren directed the dark gold internal force and the olive-black force at the elder who could defend

against the soul attack.

"Fourth Elder!"

The elders were so focused on the soul shadow that they didn't expect Darren to launch an attack.

However, they responded quickly. As soon as Darren appeared in front of them, the rule cultivators

backed off. Only the Fourth Elder was within the range of Darren's attack.

Bang!

Darren's power was extremely strong. A rule cultivator without proper defending abilities would have

been crushed by it. The Forth Elder died before he could do anything.

At the same time, Darren used his Spirit Power to direct the soul shadow to launch two more soul

attacks.

There were no limitations on how many attacks Darren could release through the soul shadow. He

could have launched more except, merely controlling the shadow was draining all of Darren's Spirit

Power. Hence, he could only direct the soul shadow to release two more soul attacks.

Without the Fourth Elder's defense, the two powerful soul attacks released under Darren's orders killed

two more elders.

The last two remaining elders were fortunate, as the Third Elder had released the violet-green light ball

at the soul shadow and killed the soul shadow right before he succumbed to the attacks.

Now, there were only two powerful rule cultivators left from the whole one hundred rule cultivators.

As and when the rule cultivators died, Darren ensured that he assimilated their Spirit Power.

Unfortunately, their Spirit Power was below level twenty-five. So even though Darren had absorbed all

their Spirit Power, his Spirit Power didn't upgrade by much.

Although the Third Elder had killed the soul shadow, Darren still had one advantage left. The two

powerful elders had drained most of their power while bombarding Darren and defending against the

attacks they had received. Now, they probably had only about thirty percent of their power left. So,

Darren was not afraid of them.

"You filthy bastard!"

Tears of anger streamed down the two elders' faces. Their eyes were blood-red, and they both glared

at Darren furiously.

"You deserve it," Darren hummed coldly. He didn't feel guilty about having killed so many rule

cultivators as the ones he had killed were evil and vicious. The people of the Red Inferno Sect had

massacred hordes of innocent people before. All of the dead rule cultivators had blood on their hands.

They truly deserved to die!

"Second Elder, the other three elders are dead. This brat murdered them! It seems that we will meet a

similar fate today. We are surely going to die here. So let's kill this filthy bastard even if it costs us our

lives. Let's burn our souls!"

"Yes!"

When Darren heard their discussion, his expression changed.

Kaleb, who was much weaker than the two elders in front of Darren, had also burned his soul when

attacking Darren. His attack had been overwhelmingly strong. Now that the two elders planned to burn

their souls to attack Darren, he knew that he would not survive.

"You will die today!"

The two elders used their last rule power to initiate the process of burning their souls.

It happened very quickly. To escape, Darren tried to use the Hurricane Teleportation Skill.

But he had consumed too much of his Spirit Power when controlling the soul shadow in the previous

attacks. So, he could only use the Hurricane Teleportation Skill a few more times. It would be difficult

for him to escape this time.

"You will have to die, you betrayers!"

Right at this time, a voice laced with venom and hatred echoed in this place. A figure appeared above

them in the blink of an eye.

The two elders and Darren found themselves restricted by the Shackle Rune. They couldn't move at

all.

"Young... Young master!"

Seeing the familiar figure, the two elders stopped their attacks. Excitement reflected on their faces.

Meanwhile, Darren's heart skipped a beat. The young master of the Red Inferno Sect had woken up

only after about fifteen minutes. Not only that, he was much stronger than before!This material belongs to .

Darren summoned the bottle with the rule power blockade in his hand. He would use the rule power

blockade for the last time to escape if things didn't work out.

"Young master! It's such a relief to see that you are safe and sound!" the strongest elder said excitedly.

"Don't listen to them, young master! Don't be fooled by the vicious old bastard! He only wants to kill

you!

They had planned to feign innocence and loyalty to you if you survived all their attacks. Earning your

trust would help them lure you into their last trap. If I guessed correctly, they would claim that I am the

traitor to fool you," Darren sputtered as anxiety coursed through him.

"You fucking liar!" shouted the two elders simultaneously.
