CHAPTER 569 CLEAN UP THE REMNANTS (PART ONE)

With a heavy heart, after Darren left the Snail King to his friends, he went to look for fragments of

sword intent.

Without the pieces of sword intent, Darren, though now a nominal disciple of the Starry Tower's owner,

was not allowed to enter. No exception to the rule, nor a particular treatment was given to him.

The Snail King had killed his friend. The mutant was so hateful that Darren would never let it go. After

seven or eight days of diligent searching, he finally found two pieces of sword intent.

"Oh, right. I forgot that there is a fragment of sword intent in my Space Ring too. How silly of me."

blurted out Darren as he suddenly remembered that he had found two pieces last time in a lake before

he entered the Starry Tower. He used one, and the other one was left and stored in his Space Ring. He

was feeling ridiculous and sorry at the same time that he didn't remember and wasted his time looking

for more fragments of sword intent. Anyway, he would need to go back to the Starry Tower from time to

time. Thus, it was good for him to secure some more fragments of sword intent in his Space Ring.

Darren then flew to the palace of the Red Inferno Sect where Horace had imprisoned the Snail King.

Without wasting his time, he triggered the sword intent fragment. In a couple of minutes, he took the

Snail King away.

On the top floor of the Starry Tower

After the real Darren appeared, his avatar shut his eyes and sat beside him quietly. It was such an

instant action, like a servant that knew what to do the moment his master arrived.

"Ah, y-y-you…" stuttered the Snail King as he felt the real Darren's aura. The Snail King had sensed

the heightened, maximized, and strengthened potency of Darren's aura which made him terrified.

His avatar and the true Darren were like two peas in a pod. But Darren's true self was way sinewy and

stalwart than his avatar. 'What's going on?' asked the Snail King silently.

"Sir, please don't kill me. I know the treasures of the Dragon King and the Double-headed King. I'll give

them all to you. Please spare my life and let me go," begged the Snail King while he cried at Darren's

feet.

All the while, in his anger towards the Snail King, Darren just ignored him. He gave the Snail King a

snort of contempt, instead.

"You were so arrogant the last time. Looking at you right now, I can see that you seem to have a strong

defense. Aren't you afraid of anything, as you said? You also killed my friend, right?

Let me see if your shell can withstand my blow or not!" Darren bellowed out.

Bang!

A loud slap reverberated across the Starry Tower as Darren smashed on the Snail King's shell. Such

force was enough to trample on an entire palace, much more a gigantic snail. If only the Snail King

were not that compelling, he could be ashes in no time.

But then again, the Snail King's shell, as his primary line of defense, was extremely hard. After Darren's

dominant blow, only a few cracks spread like spider webs across its carapace.

"Wow, I am impressed! Your shell is tough enough. I didn't break completely with my hand," Darren

said calmly, while shaking his head in skepticism.

"My Lord, please don't kill me. Waah... Waah..." Ridiculous as he appeared, the Snail King was scared

to death and wept like a child.

Bang!

Yet, his pleading seemed to be unheard by Darren. He simply didn't care about the Snail King's

supplication at all. Then, determining to crush the Snail King's shell this time, Darren hit it with his palm.

Soon enough, shards and pieces of shell flurried in the air like snowflakes. This material belongs to .

On the ground, limping and lolling as if in terrible pain, a lavender body covered with mucus was

exposed to Darren.

"You have done so many bad things, and your mind was filled with evil thoughts as well. You must die

in pain!" hollered Darren as he looked at what remained of the Snail King.

At such circumstances, Darren released a sword intent, and then activated his soul attack to torture the

Snail King at once.

Under the torment of such powerful intents from Darren, the Snail King's body kept twitching. One

moment he cried and begged for mercy, then another moment, he cursed Darren in a low voice.

Yet, at the turn of events, Darren didn't care about what the Snail King was saying at all. Instead, he

kicked the snail away and shouted at him to endure the soul torture forever.

"Darren, the master sent a message to me, telling me that his avatar will come soon. By that time, you

may be able to go out."

At this time, Mathew walked to Darren with a smile and relayed to him the message.

"Haha, okay then. I couldn't wait for that to happen." replied Darren with a smile. While he was saying

that, he was stretching his hands, relieving them from the slight tingling sensation. The mild pain was

the result of him smashing on the Snail King's rigid shell.

"I have a feeling that there is a powerful mutant outside, and I'm afraid my avatar is unable to deal with

it. The moment that mutant comes to existence, I have to go out and fight against it by myself." Darren

expressed his sentiments, with a serious tone and expression.

"You're right. There is indeed a powerful mutant in the far west that is about to be born. If it takes

shape, even if your real body stands out to fight it, I am afraid you may not be able to defeat it.

Therefore, you need to try your best to comprehend the legendary blade and sword skills during this

time," Mathew stated in a gloomy tone, worried about Darren and his fate with the mutants.

In the same manner, Darren was shocked, too, when he heard about the news. The mutant, which was

about to be born, was prophesized to be powerful and dominant among its kind.

With that being known, Darren was on pins and needles. He had comprehended a little of the

legendary blade and sword skills and had the combat power of a seven-star grand warrior at the middle

level. However, even with such power, he wouldn't be able to fight against that unborn mutant.

"Your cultivation base has improved a lot. You are a two-star grand warrior now. But it is far from

enough. Only when you reached the five or six-star level can you compete with those who have really

stepped into the seven-star level," emphasized Mathew when he saw the worried look on Darren's

face.
