Lord Of Martial Arts

The young man's body was full of injuries, and his face was covered with blood. Darren couldn't recognize him.

The second he saw someone approach, the young man knelt on the ground and cried for help.

Darren landed in front of him.

"I really can't stand it anymore. He's so terrible..." the young man lowered his head and sobbed.

"Don't worry. I will take care of this."

Darren turned and saw a straw man standing in front of him. He held a blade made of withered straw in his hand, stained with blood.

"No!" Just as Darren was about to kill the straw man, he discovered something unusual.

The straw man that had followed him would mimic his actions. However, the straw man in front of him didn't kneel when the young man fell to the ground.

This meant that this straw man was not imitating any action.

As soon as Darren figured this out, the straw man disappeared.

He frowned. A split second later, he broke into a cold sweat as he sensed an aura of danger coming from behind him.

This straw man was too fast.

Without any hesitation, Darren chose to dodge sideways. The straw man's figure jumped out from behind Darren, a dull and wry smile on his face.

Darren remained expressionless as he released his blade and sword intent and the black god's power to attack the straw man.

Whoosh!

The speed of the straw man was so incredible that he dodged Darren's attack.

"No. If I fight him head-on, I will be the one to die,"

Darren surmised. The young man he was trying to save was at the low-level of the Celestial God Realm. As such, his fighting power was not inferior to Darren's. But the straw man had beaten him to the verge of death. So how could Darren defeat the straw man?

In an earlier instance, Darren had tested and discovered that this kind of straw man had a very strong defensive power.

He would be injured if the straw man cut him with a strike of his blade. However, if Darren's blow landed on the straw man, he might not break through the straw man's defense. The enemy seemed invincible!

How could the result be changed?

Before Darren could think more, the straw man's attacks increased in frequency.

At first, he was able to handle the blows without feeling challenged. But gradually, he was at a disadvantage.

That was when Darren noticed that the straw man following him was repeating his action even though he was dozens of feet away.

"Ha-ha, I have an idea!"

Darren was overjoyed. Since he couldn't use his flesh-and-blood body to defeat this straw man, he could manipulate the straw man following him to deal crippling attacks.

As long as Darren controlled the

"I don't have a powerful master in the Primitive Wilderness."

Darren considered the cultivator, who taught him half a scroll of the supreme sword skill, as his master, but the latter was not at a high realm.

"You have no master? Aren't Lord Feng and Lord Starry Sword your masters?" The young man was astonished.

After all, Lord Feng and Lord Starry Sword had previously defended Darren against other great masters.

"No, they are acquaintances," Darren clarified calmly.

The young man nodded. While his expression remained indifferent, excitement surged within him. 'Darren is still young. How did he become friends with big shots such as Lord Starry Sword?'

The young man was awed by Darren. Although Darren was only at the upper-level of the Star God Realm, his strength was almost on par with his.

This proved that he had the tenacity to overcome barriers and fight against those at the Celestial God Realm.

The young man had never heard of such a genius. No wonder the two big shots valued him.

"I envy your potential, Darren."

"Ha-ha. You have already stepped into the Celestial God Realm, haven't you? Your achievement reflects highly on your potential, as well." Darren smiled.

"Well, my successes are nothing in comparison to yours.

By the way, Darren. What's wrong with that straw man? Why is he still following us?" the young man asked as he glanced back.

"I don't know, but with him, we are safer, aren't we?" This straw man could now be considered as Darren's life-saving divine weapon!

He had thought that the straw man would not follow him as he had stopped mimicking his actions after the battle. But, it turned out that he was healing his wounds at that time. After he recovered, he continued to follow Darren.
