Lord Of Martial Arts

Darren also noticed the man lying on the ice bed. Although he was asleep, the aura he gave off overwhelmed Darren.

"What a menacing aura! I wonder, what was his cultivation level before? Could he have been one of the Chu Clan's deputy gods?" Darren murmured.

"Maybe. We have to get close and take a look. Your divine weapon of the Chu Clan and blood essence will be able to verify that," the Rule Soul Avatar said.

As a direct descendant of the Chu Clan, Darren was the Territory Enfeoffing Emperor of the clan. Activating his bloodline and emperor aura would help him figure out whether that person was a member of the clan as well.

"Okay."

Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar hid in the space, slowly creeping towards the ice bed.

Bang!

Suddenly, a powerful pressure crushed the Rule Soul Avatar who was ahead of Darren.

The avatar exploded into a mist of blood.

"Xavier!" Darren was shocked, making him take a quick step back.

Only then did he realize there was an extremely strong force within ten feet of the ice bed, guarding it. Whoever got close enough would get crushed, just like the Rule Soul Avatar.

Fortunately, the Rule Soul Avatar was strong enough to trigger the Resurrection Force and the Time Backflow Law at the time of the explosion.

A moment later, he had gotten his body back and then returned to Darren.

The commotion alerted the crazy woman.

She screamed in reaction.

Focusing her god's sense, she blocked the stone chamber, immediately detecting the presence of Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar.

Boom!

Using her palm, the woman directly struck where Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar were standing. The space shattered, and they both toppled to the ground.

"Sorry for the intrusion, but we mean you no harm,"

Darren said steadily, even though she was in a crazed state of consciousness.

The woman snarled like a rabid wolf, her eyes dark and full of hostility.

Even as she guarded against them, she still held the baby tightly in her arms, fearing that he would be hurt. Just like any mother, even when crazed, they would protect thei

her body tremble.

Whoosh!

The weapon floating in front of Darren released a bright light, rushing straight into the woman's head.

The woman's body stiffened.

Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar waited anxiously to see what would happen next.

Seconds later, the woman moved. She turned around and stared blankly at the two of them.

"Ma'am?" Darren called out tentatively.

To his surprise,

a river of tears ran down her gaunt face.

"Aldous, my cousin,"

she sobbed, her lips trembling. With a sudden move, she pounced on Darren and held him in a vice grip.

"Aldous, is that you?" she asked, choking on her sobs.

The woman kept murmuring incoherently with tears flowing down her face. Darren could make out some things about the hardships she had had to endure throughout the years.

When she finally calmed down, Darren slowly helped her up and said, "Ma'am, I'm not your cousin. My name is Darren Chu. I'm a direct descendant of the Chu Clan and the current patriarch."

His words stunned the woman, releasing a fresh wave of tears.

"Darren Chu..." she repeated thoughtfully as if trying to recall something she'd forgotten.

As far as she knew, the Chu Clan didn't have any descendant called Darren.

"Oh, my real name is Xavier Chu," Darren added.

"Xavier, you are Xavier? No wonder you look so much like my cousin. Boy, I'm your aunt." The woman cried again.
