Lord Of Martial Arts

The face of the middle-aged man's shadow twisted in anger at Darren. How could he ignore his request?

"Darren, stop this stubbornness. Hand them over to me and if you come across any trouble in the future, depending on what sort of trouble it is, I will be there to help and solve your problems for you." He was doing his best to communicate patiently.

"No chance of that happening," Darren announced defiantly. He would not budge.

"You! You don't know what you're doing. You're so incredibly reckless! If my real body is here, you'll be smashed to a pool of flesh and blood!" roared the shadow of the middle-aged man.

"Even if that is so, I will just have to kill them before that happens."

Those words sent the shadow into a fury. Darren was too stubborn for his liking.

"You should consider the big picture first. Here's the truth. Someone has said that he wants these people protected or he will stop supplying the life energy. When that happens, even Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng will be in danger. Do you understand now?"

He was left with no other option but to reveal the truth.

"Ha-ha," Darren sniggered. So there turned out to be a powerful being who wanted these six men protected. It was no wonder he would send the shadow of this master who was at the top level of the Superior God Realm, to carry that task out, no matter the cost.

These so called "powerful beings" weren't all that impressive people. Some of them were willing to put other lives at risk to protect only a few bastards.

It seemed that there were many scum in the human race, from all walks of life.

"I will not let them go. They are staying with me," Darren reiterated. He then added, "But since you're here, why don't you tell us the quickest way to get the inheritance. I will do my best to get everyone out of danger as soon as possible. This is the best I can offer you."

"Why are you being so unreasonable? Argh!" The shadow was now overtaken with anger and had no words left.

"You are wrong. You are the ones who are unreasonable," Darren said, holding his head high. "You know exactly what sort of crimes these scumbags have committed. You would forget that, just because someone threatens you and wants them protected? You would try every means possible to save them? These villains?

Let me put it more bluntly for you; has that big shot asked you all to swear to join the fiend race? Have you agreed just to avoid danger? If you do not comply, he will cut supply of the life energy, right?

I do not understand how, as the backbone of the huma

e was most likely right.

"Look at this map. There are more than ten different auras of rule cultivators. It seems to have quite obviously been made by many powerful rule cultivators. How could it be fake?"

"You're right! That makes sense."

"You're really something, Darren. But there's more to think about. What if one of us really does get the inheritance? That old man seems to be at the Deputy God Realm. My master and Lord Feng may not be strong enough to provide you with protection," Sally said worriedly.

"That old man is indeed a deputy god. He is on the same level as my master. But don't worry, for if he dares to hurt you, I will ask my master to rain punishment down upon him. And if my master dares not take action, I will kill myself in front of him. Humph, he will never watch me die right before his eyes, and then he will be forced to act," Weber said seriously.

"That's right! There is nothing to be afraid of. He is a deputy god, but our masters are all powerful beings. The masters of those young talents who have been killed are not ordinary people. I believe they will uphold justice for Darren and the rest of us," said someone.

"That's right. That old man has only grasped some useful methods at this difficult moment. Once the great masters are freed from danger, do you think they'd still let him act so recklessly?"

After much debate and conversation, everyone had come to the conclusion that they needed not to be afraid of the old man. The masters behind them were not weak!

"Alright, let's do all we can to obtain the inheritance then." Darren nodded slightly, but then he added, "Hmm, the next challenge is marked on the map with a star. What could that mean?"
