Lord Of Martial Arts

As the leader of the black cavalry roared, the stone gate quickly collapsed, along with him turning into ashes.

Then, a wisp of dark blood vitality flew into the valley.

Soon after, a gust of smoke condensed into the shape of a human, who opened his mouth and swallowed the wisp of blood vitality.

"Damn it! This must be the real guardian of the valley!" Everyone's face became serious as they witnessed this scene.

"Darren, we're going to depend on you…"

"That's right! Your battle beast is very powerful. I think that you'll be able to handle this easily too!"

At that moment, Darren looked at the black shadow that condensed in the valley. Its eyes suddenly lit up, emitting pure white light.

Darren's body trembled upon looking straight into its eyes. The black shadow's gaze made his soul so frightened that he was almost petrified.

"That thing is so powerful! I can sense it!" Darren eventually lowered his head and asked his battle beast, "Turtle, can we really defeat that thing?"

The old turtle just raised his head and looked at Darren contemptuously, as if he was in disbelief that Darren needed to ask such kind of thing.

Seeing the expression in the eyes of the old turtle, Darren felt somehow relieved. He realized that even his battle beast was confident enough in his own power.

Meanwhile, the black shadow below had completely condensed into its human form. The creature wore a black armor and carried a heavy blade in its hand.

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, its body flickered, making its movements very difficult to track.

"What incredible speed!"

"Watch out! The creature is already taking action!"

The black shadow raised its heavy blade and hurled a slash towards them. They saw a huge faint yellow blade radiance rapidly approaching.

'What is this? There's no blade intent?'

Darren was surprised and confused that he couldn't feel any blade intent from the blade radiance, but it was still a fact that it was undoubtedly powerful. In fact, it was much more powerful than the attack of the leader of the black cavalry.

"Infinite Defense Skill!"

Darren wasted no time and ordered the old turtle to activate his defensive skill.

However, this defensive skill was still as embarrassing as ever. The old turtle split up into large groups of lame old turtles, and they began to hop and dance around.

At the same time, the falling turtle shells formed into a huge one, enveloping the battle beasts on Darren's side.

Boom!

The overwhelming blade radiance hit the giant turtle shell, and the god's power spread in all directions.

"Yes! It withstood the attack!"

The young talents felt pretty confident upon seeing that the blade radiance was broken, while they were completely unharmed.

Crack!

However, just after a few seconds, the huge turtle shell around them began to crack like a fragile glass.

Crash!

Then, the entire turtle shell was crushed into ashes.

"Argh!"

The human talents riding the battle beasts spat out blood one after another. Even Darren felt that his internal

tails and approaching at an astounding speed.

"Damn it! I thought we already escaped from it! What should we do now?"

"Let's go all out and fight together! There's no use escaping from it if it could just catch up to us with ease!"

Now that they realized that they couldn't escape from the black shadow, they had thought of fighting it head-on. However, from their experience earlier, it seemed like the black shadow could kill them easily with just a single move. There was no chance of victory for them unless they could thoroughly control the battle beasts and unleash their fullest potentials and fighting power.

"Weber, take them with us," Darren said out of nowhere.

"What? No! Why do we have to save these bunch of idiots?" Weber strongly refused.

"What are you saying? They are the young talents of the human race. It's a huge loss if we just let them die this way," Beatty butted in.

"Weber, please save them even just this once." Sally also joined and looked at Weber with eager eyes.

Weber felt like his heart melted under Sally's gaze. She needed not say anything else because he would do any request that would be coming from her.

"Okay, fine. I'm not that cold-hearted. I'll still save them despite what they did earlier."

With that, Weber commanded the Thunder Cloud Bird to fly over to the people below them.

"All of you, come aboard! Be quick about it. Don't complain if you were left behind," Weber proudly declared as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Eallard, come over quickly!" Darren shouted to him first.

"All right!"

Since they were in a situation where their lives were at stake, they couldn't care about anything else. They just set aside their past issues and quickly flew towards the back of the Thunder Cloud Bird.

Soon enough, all of them had already landed at the back of Weber's battle beast.

Whoosh!

As the Thunder Cloud Bird let out a deafening roar, its speed suddenly increased to the maximum. Its body spun rapidly and flew in an extremely tricky trajectory.
