Lord Of Martial Arts

Darren's dragon body was almost crushed by the small monster's powerful blow.

His consciousness slowly but surely came back as he took in more hits. Darren felt a deep pain started to spread and engulf his entire body.

But this kind of physical throbbing pain had filled his heart in delight.

As the small monster continued its attacks on Darren, he kept on taking the Seven-holy Fruits and refining them in his stomach.

As time went by, his internal organs began to heal little by little, and he started to recover as the elixir started to kick in. Despite so, it focused more on critical areas and thus the throbbing sensation of his outer body was still strong enough to stop him from reaching his full potential.

At this point, Darren had the ability to refine the Seven-holy Fruits in his hands.

Bang!

The monstrous palm hit Darren's body again, though this time it didn't break his bones. Darren felt a smile creep up his lips as he raised his head to look at the monster.

The beast with a tiger's head and a dragon's body was stunned for a moment, realizing that the tattered body of Darren from moments ago had become stronger all of a sudden.

Its eyes were now nothing but full of malice. It moved and struck Darren with its most powerful attack. It didn't want to torture Darren's body any longer; it just wanted to kill him as soon as possible.

But it didn't expect that the body it was grabbing would suddenly move, and the bloodied dragon tail swept at it at a speed beyond compare.

Boom! With an ear-piercing sound, blood, flesh, and bones exploded out of the water.

As a result, the small monster's body was torn into several pieces of flesh and met its demise.

After the small monster perished, a dragon's aura began to disperse out of its body.

"Assimilate." Without a moment's hesitation, Darren released his assimilating skills and engulfed it. A complex aura began to rush into his body. The warrior started absorbing only the aura of the dragon blood, abandoning the rest of the auras—tiger and bear, as he didn't need them.

After obtaining the dragon aura, Darren felt rather odd. The small monster was powerful, but it possessed close to no talent for martial arts. He wondered why.

Despite so he had no time to ponder about why and ifs. Once the small monster had died, the other eight, far larger than the perished one, refused to stay silent and decided to avenge their small friend. They simultaneously raised their palms to Darren's direction and immediately landed their attacks.

With the suppression alleviating, Darren's strength was restored, followed by his speed and agility.

He ran as fast as he could while using as many Seven-holy Fruits as possible. The aura of the dragon blood filled his body, at the same time healing whatever leftover injuries he had.

"The suppression has been completely removed." A

in their hands, with either stone axes, or stone spears.

Darren felt some humans' auras within the thousands of red-haired creatures.

Darren flew down into the water, and used his spiritual sense to direct his way, surpassing these red-haired creatures with ease. Then he flew up.

"Oh my God! We're done! Someone is coming after us!"

The humans trembled in shock. The figure that was flying over had a terrifying aura.

After a moment, those people screamed, "That's a human, someone black-haired."

Looking at the disheveled figure with messy hair, their fear dissipated and was replaced with tears of joy.

The cold wind blew the man's hair back, revealing his face.

"It's...it's Darren!"

The humans were the ones who were ordered by the elders to distract the red-haired monsters while the rest of them made a run for it.

"It's Darren, my junior fellow apprentice! He's not dead! He's still alive!" screamed Hobson.

"Darren! Darren is still alive!"

Darren flew towards them and continued with them.

"Why are there so many red-haired monsters chasing you?" Darren asked calmly.

"It was the damned elders of the Crimson Sea Sect who drew their attention. In order to escape, they forced us to distract these red-haired monsters. Otherwise, they would have killed us with a slap," Hobson barked, retelling Darren the awful thing that the elders did to them.

"Humph! Those damned elders! They are all just like these bastards. I will get even with them after I kill these red-haired monsters," Darren declared.

Everyone was exhausted that they felt like couldn't move any longer. However, Darren's words made them feel nervous and excited at the same time.

Could Darren really take these red-haired monsters down? One had to find the answer as to why those seven-star elders with the strength at the top level could only flee as fast as they could facing the red-haired monsters.
