CHAPTER 650 BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH

After a brief discussion, they finally decided to run back to safety. If Darren was dead, they had no hope

for themselves in this battlefield as no one could protect them.

They made their way out at once, oceanic waves in the sky washing over them more often than not,

making them terribly dizzy.

"Come on, move it! We shouldn't waste time when there's no monster in sight!"

They tried their best to struggle through the waves and advance further. If they took any longer, the

waves wouldn't be the only thing giving them a hard time.

At the same time, they saw what seemed to be several people running towards their direction from a

distance.

"Oh my God! Are those the monsters from earlier?" They all immediately looked as if they had seen a

ghost.

"No, they're people. Wait a second, they are the Elders of our Crimson Sea Sect. Ha-ha! We will be

saved!"

After a moment, the young man who led the group frowned and shook his head. "Your elders cannot

save you even if they come. They are also suppressed."

As he was speaking, the said elders rushed towards them.

"All of you need to follow us!" several of the elders exclaimed, then proceeded to charge into the

distance without a moment's hesitation.

After they had rushed away without even explaining the reason, the group stood there, dumbfounded

as they only stared at the retreating figures of the elders.

It didn't take long for them to see an army of red figures, all in human form holding weapons such as

axes or spears, flying towards their direction.

In a flash, they decided to follow the elders from behind.

"Listen, the blokes behind us go and attack those monsters and attract their attention now. We shall be

on the run for the time being."

After flying for a while, one of the elders of the Crimson Sea Sect roared in a demanding tone.

"Why?! All of us are running for our lives. Do you wish for us to die?" Nixon roared, resentment dripping

from his words.

"What? If you don't do it right now, I won't even hesitate in smashing you to pieces!"

one of the elders said coldly and raised his hand in Nixon's direction. The majestic Fringe Holy Will

ended up hitting him straight on.

Nixon was not even given the chance to struggle before he was turned into a bloody mist and faded

away in the purple mist.

"Why is the elder still so powerful?" Everyone stood terrified. They were shocked to find that this elder

still had the strength of the top level of seven-star Grand Realm.

However, the elders, who were already so powerful, were trying to escape. How could they resist those

monsters now?

"Humph! You are just pawns used to open the forbidden zone.

Did you really think it would be such an easy task to come here and locate the treasures? Even though

we are prepared, our cultivation base still has been slightly suppressed. You ants are going to be dead

sooner or later. I'll give you a choice: either you go attract the monsters and get them out our way, or

die by my hands here and now!"

An elder's cruel voice proposed from ahead, ending it with a sickening laughter.

"If you don't move right now, I will kill you!"

Under the water, Darren was already nearing his limit as he was surrounded by the giant monsters.

Despite only a few rounds, his body was already covered with cuts and bruises. He only had to thank

his small human form and agility that he wouldn't be easily captured by the giant monsters. Or else, he

would've already died.

"If this goes on, I'm bound to be killed sooner or later." His face was already as pale as a ghost. He

turned and moved swiftly.

"If my strength hadn't been suppressed, I might have a chance to fight!" Darren thought to himself.

The situation in the Raksa Sea replayed in the back of his head; his friends were almost killed by those

double-headed bastards as their powers were suppressed.

Luckily, he found the Seven-holy Fruits and was able to remove the suppression just in time. Had he

not, everyone would have died in the Raksa Sea there and then.

The huge monsters lunged their monstrous palms at Darren's general direction.

This time however, Darren had been attacked by more of those hands, resulting him to have little to no

chance of escape.

As running away was not an option, he finally decided he had to fight head on!

Darren released his Dark Emperor's Armor to cover his body, and at the same time, he triggered the

hidden attacks inside it.

Then he turned into a dragon immediately, so that his physical strength could be greatly improved.

Luckily, his Dark Emperor's Armor could change its size following his transformation. Thus, the armor

still could protect him entirely after he had transformed into a dragon.

At the same time, Darren rushed out his olive-black force in order to weaken the attacks coming from

the monsters.

Bang!

A hard blast hit straight onto Darren's body.

Even though Darren had been greatly strengthened under the dragon's transformation, including the

protection from his Dark Emperor's Armor, he could not withstand the trembling force. The bones inside

him were undoubtedly broken.

Immense pain immediately caught up to him as he struggled to stand his ground.

It wasn't helping when he had a feeling that his internal organs seemed to be failing him.

Under the crushing palm, he was on the verge of death and no longer had the power to resist.

Bang! Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

In a flash, another palm hit his body once more.

However, this time its power was slightly weaker, so Darren wasn't killed by it.

After a moment, Darren had realized the reason he had yet to die was because the monsters had

decided against it, in favor of throwing him back and forth as if he were a plaything.

The smaller monster that had been beaten up by Darren earlier came up to Darren and stared at him in

both curiosity and anger.

It was quite strange when the said monster showed a tinge of fear against Darren. The aura Darren

had exhibited earlier had made him want to admit its defeat.

However, the little monster too had something against the warrior and wanted nothing more than to

take revenge.

Bang!

The little monster's tail swept over Darren's pitifully broken body, blood splashing out and coloring the

water madder red.

At this point, Darren no longer felt pain; he just felt that he was going to die soon.

Despite so, Darren's heart was filled with resentment. He had yet to finish his journey; what he wanted

to do, meet those who he wanted to meet, and thus concluded that dying was not an option for him.

Not one he was going to take.

It took everything in him to get his thoughts right.

"Can I open the Ancient Void Battlefield?" Darren asked in his head, at this point his own desperation

eating him whole.

Although Finley had warned him not to use the Ancient Void Battlefield for the moment, it would be

Darren's only hope if he wanted to make it out alive.

Not only that, if Darren couldn't handle these bastards, then the rest of his party wouldn't be able to do

so as well. Even if they could, there was no chance that anyone would come to his rescue at this time.

"Open the Ancient Void Battlefield," Darren cried out weakly.

He activated the force of control with his final breath and summoned the Ancient Void Battlefield.

However, disappointment was the only thing that was gifted to him.

Darren had temporarily sealed the Ancient Void Battlefield after Finley's warning, so he couldn't open it

now.

The moment the force of control tried to activate the Ancient Void Battlefield, it immediately vanished.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The little monster with a tiger head and a dragon body, who seemed to be very interested in Darren,

continuously patted Darren's body with its dragon tail.

Most of Darren's body bathed in his own blood, and his flesh had been completely smashed due to the

scales on the tail.

"If I was not suppressed, I would have definitely tear you up,"

Darren said with complete malice in his eyes. Then he laughed at himself. He thought, 'Why would I

have such childish ideas when I'm dying? Why now when my time is about to end?'

"No, wait a second. When I was in the Raksa Sea, I removed the suppression with the Seven-holy

Fruit. Maybe I can find it in this area."

Darren suddenly remembered that he had 100, 000 Seven-holy Fruits in his Space Ring prior to this.

When he tried to save those superior talents, he only released around ten thousand of Seven-holy

Fruits. The rest of them were still in his Space Ring.

Recalling this, Darren took out several Seven-holy Fruits with his weakening spiritual sense and

transmitted them into his abdomen as the attacks from the monsters continued.

Darren suddenly felt sharp pain spreading over his body, making it unbearable for him when his body

was already frail.

But this was a good thing, something to be celebrated; Darren was regaining his consciousness.
