In the underground stone room, Darren had fully recovered from his injuries.
"Let's escape," the immortal suggested.
"We can't." Darren shook his head. He explained, "They must be waiting outside. If we try to leave, we might be attacked by some powerful arrays. Since this place is small, it won't be easy for them to attack us. Let's just wait here quietly."
The immortal thought for a moment and felt that Darren's rationale was reasonable. And, so she agreed to stay.
Several hours had passed, but Scar and his men still hadn't appeared.
Darren was not worried. Instead, he continued to cultivate. Soon, his cultivation base improved enough to stabilize his middle-level Primary God Realm.
Boom!
An hour later, the door of the underground stone room flew open.
Almost immediately, strange runes flew in, and it seemed as if they had cut off space and time.
This was the secret array prepared by Aidan. When they used this array, it would be hard for the guards in the Starry Sword Region to notice that they had killed Darren. After all, this place was far from the Starry Sword Region, and Darren's strength was not powerful enough to be noticed.
More than ten figures entered the room.
"Brat, I didn't expect that you would hide your real level. Although you have the strength to kill the Iron Spine Beast, do you think you can survive?" Scar stated coldly.
"Don't talk nonsense. Just kill me if you can!" Darren replied with a somber expression.
"You are so arrogant. Okay, let's fight!"
An ordinary upper-level primary god beside Scar rushed forward to attack Darren. The remaining people stood still as they wanted to observe Darren's strength.
That upper-level primary god flashed to Darren's side and punched him on the head.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of a blade and sword cutting through flesh echoed in the quiet room, and the man seemed to freeze in mid-air.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Kill him!"
The others roared. However, that man fell to the ground. Everyone was aghast to see that his body had been sliced into several pieces.
"What!?"
The short young man was astonished. He was familiar with the strength of the man that Darren had just killed. He was not considered weak among upper-level primary gods, but he had been dismembered in one attack. How powerful was Darren?
"How?"
the short man muttered as confusion coursed through him. 'When I met this guy for the first time, I had only used eighty percent of my strength to injure him. How could he become so powerful in such a short time? Even if he had hidden his real level and strength, it couldn't have been high enough to kill an upper-level primary god with one blow.
If he really was so strong, he didn't have to be afraid of us. So why didn't he run?' the short man thought.
"Scar, killing this guy will prove more difficult than we estimated. It seems as though he has improved his strength in these past few days!" the short man said with concern after he figured this out.
"No wonder the Starry Sword Region takes a fancy to him. He is a genius." Scar also seemed to have understood.
"What should we do? Shall we let him go? We shouldn't take any unnecessary risks." The short man was undecided and expressed his concerns.
"No way." Scar refused without hesitation. "We have already done so much to him. Do you think we will be fine if we release him? When he becomes a disciple of the Starry Sword Region, he will return to exact revenge on us. Our clan will surely perish then!"
The short man shivered with fear when he heard the explanation. He nodded and agreed with what Scar said.
"Then we have no other choice. We must kill him! Fortunately, Larkin will be here soon. So we don't have to worry."
"Kill him!" Scar instructed the ten upper-level primary gods as he rushed toward Darren.
Several kinds of god's powers filled the whole basement. It shook and trembled as if it was going to collapse.
Besieged by so many upper-level primary gods, Darren brandished his blade and sword intents to protect himself.
He was under tremendous pressure from their joint attack, especially Scar, who was about to reach the top-level of the Primary God Realm.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Darren was hit and thrown into the air.
"Great!"
Darren's face turned pale. The injuries he sustained forced him to spit out blood.
"Ha-ha, he is not as strong as I thought." Some people began to relax after they saw that Darren had been wounded.
"I overestimated his abilities. He is far weaker than Scar."
