CHAPTER 640 BREAK THE RESTRICTION

Darren unleashed both his spiritual sense and Spirit Power to probe the location where the heart-

wrenching howls came. No matter how hard he tried, though, to his disappointment, it was as if all of

the men there were dead.

"Heal yourself first, then tell me what happened."

Darren took out some magic herbs and healing pills, and then asked the man to take them.

After waiting there for a few hours, the young man willingly swallowed the magic herbs and pills, and

the wounds in his body and face gradually healed.

"Thank you so much!" The instant he felt a little relieved and at ease, the young man cupped his fist

and showed his gratitude to Darren.

"You're welcome. Who hurt you?" asked Darren at once.

"I don't know what type of creature it is, but it's so powerful. I just feel like something flashed by, and

then, the next thing I know, I was seriously injured. Worst was the one who had stepped into the Life

Forbidden Zone before me was dead, and his head had fallen directly on the ground," the young man

said with fear.

"By the way, my name is Hobson Qi. What's your name?" asked the young man. He would like to know

the name of the one who saved him from grave danger.

"My name is Darren."

By this time, Darren had showed his real face. There was no need for him to hide his identity anymore.

"Nice to meet you, Darren!" Hobson Qi nodded his head in acknowledging Darren and thanking him at

the same time.

"Darren, we'd better stay here first!" suggested Hobson. In his mind ran the thought that their

oppressors were lurking somewhere, waiting for them to show themselves as prey. Thus he made such

a suggestion to Darren.

After considering for a while, Darren nodded slightly and said, "But once we come in here, there is no

way out. So, staying here is not a long-term solution."

"I know another way out. Right now, we're on the periphery of the restriction array. Once we find our

way towards the center of the array and break it, the elders outside will come in. Then we'll be safe with

them," Hobson explained. His hopes were a bit lifted now that Darren was with him. At the very least,

he could have someone to rely upon, rather than alone and vulnerable.

Unknown to Darren, Hobson was among the first batch to come to the place. He was ordered to break

the center of the array so that the elders waiting outside could enter.

"Where is the center of the array? Why didn't the person who came in first destroy it?" Darren asked in

between furrowed brows. Being caught and trapped in a situation like this, he had lots of questions in

his mind waiting for concise answers.

"I have a map. It shows the position of the center of the array detected by an expert rule cultivator in

the Divine Mountain Sect. The old man sold it to four sects at the same time and earned a lot," Hobson

said, took out the map, and handed it to Darren.

"Let's go and find it," Darren voiced out after studying the map for quite a while.

In his determination to vamoose from the place as soon as possible, Darren didn't dare to act rashly.

He knew very well that the elders from all sects were mighty, thus if they could come in, that would be a

relief for both of them.

At this time, Darren was not afraid of the three elders who had previously attempted to kill him,

because they only recognized Lewis' appearance. They didn't know Darren. So, he was confident that

as long as he avoided using the blade and sword intents, he would not be detected.

"Well, come with me, Darren," offered Hobson, who led the way for Darren. Though he was a bit

unstable, the healing pills and magic herbs had done a great job in enabling him to stand on his feet.

As they made their way through, Darren and Hobson walked along the edge of the restriction array.

Logically speaking, several people had entered this place before, and they should have the map in their

hands, but why didn't they go and destroy the center of the array?

Obviously, they didn't want those powerful elders to get involved, and they just wanted to look for

treasures and seize the opportunities first.

However, it was a dangerous place here, so the people who acted rashly might be dead by now.

After searching for a long time and making the map as their guide, Darren and Hobson found the

center of the array.

What welcomed their eyes, however, was the huge skull, and purple flames that were burning inside.

"If I break this skull, then, can the restriction be removed?" Darren asked Hobson while his eyes were

fixed at the gigantic skull.

"I don't know. Let's have a try."

After saying that, Hobson raised his hand and tried to hit the grotesque effigy.

Bang!

After the colossal blow, the Fringe Holy Will exploded on the skull, and a purple aura burst out.

"Get back!"

Subconsciously, Darren pulled Hobson to deviate him from the purple mist. At the sight of it, Darren

had the impression as well as the assumption that something vile was behind the mist.

Even so, Hobson's toes, while he was scampering away, accidentally touched the mist and was directly

peeled off by the purple mist.

If Darren did not pull him abruptly, he should have been cut in half. Luckily for him, Darren's reflexes

were exceptional and caught him just in the nick of time.

"It's so horrible! Thank you so much for saving my life!" Hobson said while trembling in fear. Twice in a

row, Darren had snatched him out of the hands of death. With that, he was extremely grateful and

indebted to Darren.

"You're welcome. We can't force to break this skull. We have to think of other ways," Darren said,

calmly. With his brows drawn in a tight furrow, he searched the back of his mind on how he would

handle the skull effigy.

He thought about it for a while and concluded that the center of the array must be made from the rule

spell. If he wanted to break it, he had to use his Spirit Power if that was the only option they got. Of

course, if only his strength was powerful enough, he should be able to smash it into pieces by force.

For example, if he could transform himself into a dragon now, he could have smashed it into pieces.

Darren released his Spirit Power to detect and gauge the skull—every inch and corner of it.

When his Spirit Power entered the skull, another ultra-powerful Spirit Power swept towards his mind.

Buzz.

Such intervention caused Darren's mind to be wobbly and unstable. It even reached to a point where

his head almost exploded, and he felt dizzy at one point.

But the moment that Spirit Power flowed into his brain, Darren felt that the strange stone in his head

had played its role.

By and by, the Spirit Power that rushed in his mind and channeled through his body was bounced back

to the skull by the strange stone. At the same time, the Spirit Power which was released by Darren

formed a sword and stabbed into the skull momentarily.

As both his and Hobson's hairs stood on ends, it was evident that the two powers were unassailable.

Upon the impact of the combined powers, the skull trembled a few times and then vanished into the

purple smoke.

Meanwhile, outside of the forbidden zone

The elders had been paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield. When that specific side of

the battlefield had completely calmed down, they were a little anxious and mulled over the idea that all

the people had died.

In fact, elders of all the sects had bought a kind of rune from the master of the Divine Mountain Sect

and put it on their most potent disciple's body.

If they opened the forbidden zone by using the rune, only the elders of one sect who owned the rune

that opened the zone could enter.

That was why the disciples who had entered fought with each other. Once the other sect took the

initiative and let the elders of one sect came in, they would be slaughtered in minutes.

Just as everyone was anxious, the earth suddenly shook violently. A moment later, the forbidden zone

collapsed like glazed epitaphs.

"Haha, it has been opened. The disciple from our sect must have opened it," uttered one of the

anticipating elders from the Heaven Lake Sect rushed over happily. Sure enough, they were not

blocked by the restriction anymore and entered the forbidden zone quickly like a herd of sheep led by a

good shepherd.

However, to everyone's surprise, as the other three sects rushed over and attempted to enter, they

were able to get past the entrance too.

"What's wrong with this?"

There were only around twenty elders left in this bloody hell, and all of them posed the same question

in mind.

"Well, it seems that all the disciples have entered. Come with me," the leader of the Crimson Sea Sect

said as he first stepped onto the footprint on the ground.

With that, everyone that was left behind also went in at once.

These cunning old men didn't take action against each other even though they hated every last one of

each sect. Because in their level, once they began to fight, they would inevitably be injured or even

killed by each other. They would not easily take action until a crucial moment commenced.

The elders of all sects gradually disappeared from the area as their curiosity led them deeper inside the

forbidden zone.

"Someone must have destroyed the restriction without using the rune. Otherwise, we wouldn't have

been able to get in here."

"Who on earth can break the restriction array?"

"I don't know yet. Let's move quickly. Otherwise, those old dogs get the chance."

The elders of the Dragon Chasing Sect said in their exchange of thoughts.

"Who is this powerful man? Show yourself at once!"

Elder Walt let out a loud shout as he felt someone was approaching.

"Elder, it's me, Hobson," Hobson answered.

Within a short time, two figures came out from the purple mist and walked closer to the group.

"Hobson?" implored one of the elders as if he doubted his eyes.

"Sir, I broke the center of the array in a forcible way. Please punish me," Hobson said, yet with a smug

look on his face.

"There is no rune on your body. It's good enough that you were able to open it. There is no need to

punish you. But where is your senior brother apprentice?" the Chief Elder of the Dragon Chasing Sect

asked.

"Brother has already entered the forbidden zone, and I'm afraid he is on his way to look for

opportunities," Hobson responded.

"Humph, that bastard. He brought the rune in but didn't break the restriction. When I find him, I will

punish him severely. Hobson, you come with us. If we find good things, we will give you some," invited

the elder from the Dragon Chasing Sect. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Yes, sir!" Hobson said, happiness radiating from his gaunt face.

"Who is this guy?" Elder Ivan asked Hobson at the sight of Darren. All this time, since Darren came out

of the purple mist with Hobson, Elder Ivan, who had attacked him earlier, had kept his eyes on Darren

—never letting him out of his sight.
