CHAPTER 965 DARREN'S AVATAR
Darren and Hailey were startled by the voice resounding in their minds.
'What was that?' they thought.
Yahya was their ruthless rival in this test. It meant that the young man named Yahya was the master of
the tomb—the holy emperor with three conflicting martial arts skills!
The mysterious powerful ancient holy emperor had a miserable childhood, which made Darren sigh.
It reminded Darren of his own experiences when he was young as he, too, was troubled with many
difficulties during that time. However, those hardships had gradually made him stronger as a man.
"Yahya, I feel sorry for what happened to you. Why don't we become friends?"
Hailey said before Darren could even let out a word.
She knew that Yahya would become their enemy sooner or later, and he was already more powerful
than them. Thus, she devised a plan to deceive the young man before beating him in the test.
Her sly words were a tactic in order to buy them more time.
Yahya smiled. "Oh. You are so beautiful. Of course I would like to make friends with you, but he has to
die," he said as he pointed at Darren.
"What? But why? Why should you kill him?" asked Hailey with a worried tone.
"I don't like him and he doesn't deserve you," Yahya said coldly.
"No, you misunderstood us. We are just friends!" Even with a half senseless smile on her face, Hailey
had enchanted the young man with her charm and beauty.
Darren felt very uncomfortable hearing their conversation. 'What the hell? This little punk thinks he has
a chance with Hailey? Do I have to rely on Hailey's beauty to survive?' he thought. This made him
extremely uneasy.
"I'm so sorry, Darren. I just want to stall for time. There's no way we can beat him now," Hailey told
Darren through her spiritual sense, as if she had seen through Darren's mind.
"Run away with me. Don't play tricks. I don't like it," Darren answered her directly.
"But… He is too powerful." Hailey bit her lips. owns this.
"The worst result is death. If I fail the test, then I will accept my fate. You don't have to take advantage
of your beauty to buy time for us."
Upon hearing Darren's reproachful words, Hailey felt ashamed of herself. She felt embarrassed in front
of the man she loved.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that," Hailey then replied.
"It's all right. Let's go!"
Darren suddenly held Hailey's hand and dashed forward.
Yahya was stunned with Darren's behavior. 'Is he an idiot?' he thought. 'An attempt to escape in front of
me?'
He knew that his strength was greater than Darren's.
The young man watched Darren and Hailey as they ran away like scalded cats. The idea of the chase
had intrigued him. He thought it would be interesting to track them before killing them, as if he was
hunting his prey. Thus, he decided to give them a head start.
"Just for a while," Yahya said to himself.
Darren and Hailey tried their best to run away, but they failed to make any headway. After several
minutes, they had run only just a few kilometers.
"Darren, we can't escape from him. Let's go back and fight him instead," said Hailey as she tried to
catch her breath.
"Just because we can't run away doesn't mean we can't survive." Darren's voice was filled with his
usual confidence.
In fact, when Darren first saw Yahya's eyes, he had a feeling that the young man would not let them go.
Thus, he had been thinking about a plot to save both of their lives.
Afterwards, Darren focused all his attention on his own Space Ring.
Two cadavers had caught his attention.
The two bodies were taken in from the place where he had been locked by the Misty Emperor.
There were many corpses of the ancient tribulation holy warriors. The Misty Emperor had gathered the
corpses in an attempt to revive them, but failed. When he noticed the two powerful bodies, Darren kept
them in his Space Ring.
Because of the dark-spirit crystals in his Space Ring, the two corpses were almost resurrected.
Now, Darren was in the ancient times, and with the dark-spirit crystals, he could bring back the two
ancient tribulation holy warriors back to life in the most critical moment.
However, using this technique was also very dangerous. Since Darren did not have any means to
control the two ancient tribulation holy warriors, there was a possibility that the cadavers would turn on
him and kill him.
Darren believed that only his Rule Soul Avatar could control the two ancient warriors, other than the
Misty Emperor himself. This was because the Rule Soul Avatar's Spirit Power was so great that he had
mastered a lot of rules.
Meanwhile, Darren and Hailey had ran hundreds of kilometers and soon arrived at a col.
In the process of their escape, Darren's mind had simultaneously been immersed in his Space Ring.
His weak spiritual sense had managed to move the dark-spirit crystals to the side of the two corpses.
As long as Yahya was near, Darren could immediately put the dark-spirit crystals on the two corpses.
Even if the two holy warriors were out of control, they would try to kill the most powerful being around
them. Thus, they would go for Yahya first, instead of him and Hailey. This would give them an extra
chance of survival.
Whoosh!
A light flashed in front of Darren.
All of a sudden, an ape with a young man who sat on its shoulder stood in front of them.
Yahya had arrived.
"You ran too slowly. It's not interesting at all to chase after you," he said arrogantly.
"My real body, what are you doing now?"
Suddenly, a cold and familiar voice echoed in Darren's mind.
For Darren, hearing that voice was a pleasant surprise.
"Avatar? How can you connect with me?" Darren asked instead of answering the avatar's question.
"I heard that you were in the holy emperor's tomb. I'm trying to cut off the rules of the tomb, so that I
can connect with you."
After knowing about his real body's whereabouts, the Rule Soul Avatar quickly appeared at the tomb.
He had been trying to break the rules in the tomb during the past few days in order to enter there.
The Rule Soul Avatar's silver eyes were able to observe all the rules. With his immense rule power, he
was able to cut open the rule system of the holy emperor's tomb. Moreover, his spiritual sense was not
restrained by time and space. Thus, he had broken through the restriction, and found his real body.
"Oh, all right. Come here and help me. At this moment, I'm about to meet with a strong enemy, and
there are two corpses of ancient tribulation holy warriors who are about to come back to life in my
Space Ring. You need to help me control them so they can kill my approaching foe. Can you do that?"
Darren told his avatar briefly, but his avatar had kept silent.
"What? Are you scared?" Yahya said jokingly, as he saw the dull look on Darren's face.
Darren was waiting for his avatar's response, but he still kept silent. Next to Darren, Hailey stepped
forward and said, "What are you waiting for? If you want to kill us, just do it!"
"What?" Yahya frowned and said, "Didn't you say that you wanted to make friends with me? After I kill
him, you and I can talk more about that."
"Bah, I was fooling you!" Hailey wore a cold face.
"Fooling me? Ha-ha, you were fooling me? I fell in love with you at first sight. To tell you the truth, I
don't like this feeling. Don't play tricks on me. Ugh, I'm getting bored. I should kill him now," Yahya said
coldly.
"Kill him? If you do, I am willing to die together with him!" Hailey said with a proud smile on her face.
At that moment, Darren finally received a reply from his avatar.
