Only then did Lindsay realize that she had exposed the three of them to be carrying divine patterns.
The act of killing was not prohibited in the city, but people still had to follow the basic rule of the Tussle Region, which stated that no one was allowed to kill anyone who was two levels below him.
Everyone in the hall quickly shifted their attention.
These people were actually not here to trade for the divine patterns. They were killers who were waiting for someone to come here and trade his divine patterns. Then, they were going to take that opportunity to obtain them.
"Hey, you. If you want to live, hand over your divine patterns and be quick about it."
A man with disheveled hair suddenly walked towards Darren, carrying a saber in his hand.
"Oh, you're threatening me?" Darren faced the man and said with a smirk on his face, "Just walk away, man. I'm afraid you can't handle me."
Just by looking at the man, Darren speculated that he must be at the upper-level of the Star God Realm.
The man raised his brows after hearing what Darren said. He was instantly irritated and a strong killing intent oozed from his eyes.
"What did you just say? You arrogant idiot are just at the low-level of the Star God Realm. How dare you belittle me? Look at the blood marks on my saber. Each mark represents the life of the warrior at the top level of the Star God Realm that I claimed. Help yourself and count it," the man said in a proud and mocking tone.
Darren looked at the saber and found eight blood marks on it, but it didn't really concern him.
"So what? Am I supposed to get scared? I told you, you're not a match for me," Darren said calmly as he looked straight into the killer's eyes.
"Don't mess with me! I'll send you to hell!" The man was infuriated and instantly raised his saber in an attempt to cut Darren down.
However, Darren did not even dodge. He only bent his finger and flicked it towards the killer.
The next moment, the man stopped in front of Darren as if he was paralyzed. He was still holding his saber above his head.
Boom!
Shortly after, he lost his balance and fell backward. As he lay on the ground, everyone saw that there was a little scar on his chest. If one would examine his body using the god's sense, he would find out that the killer's heart was already smashed to pieces.
As the people inside the hall saw this scene, they quickly possessed a horrified expression on their faces.
With just a flick of his finger, this young man effortlessly killed someone who was at the upper-level of the Star God Realm. Moreover, he was just at the low-level of the same realm. This was something inconceivable.
"Good job!"
Suddenly, a young woman came out of the inner hall.
"Well done, sir!" The woman wore a bright smile as she continued to approach Darren. She was actually pretty and had a delicate figure.
However, her beauty was nowhere near compared to Lindsay's.
"What is it? You want to fight me too?" Darren asked in a cold voice.
"Oh, no sir. Please don't misunderstand. Our Zhou's Divine Pattern Firm would never make trouble with our customers," the woman quickly answered.
"Really? Then how will you explain what all these people are doing here?" Darren gazed across the hall and glared at all the killers who were disguising themselves.
"Sir, you know the rules of the city. Everyone is free to kill as long as they abide by the rule. Anyway, I just want to inform you that we can trade for the killing points if you have the divine patterns. If you want to proceed with the transaction, let me accompany you. After all, I don't think these killers will bother you anymore," the woman explained.
"Hey, Darren. We're not sure that this woman is not one of them. She might just lure you inside and then try to rob the divine patterns," Lindsay approached him and whispered to his ears.
"Don't worry. If that happens, I'll still be fine," Darren said with confidence.
"You're being too careless!" Finley butted in.
"Why are you two so worried? Have you forgotten the rules of the Tussle Region? Killing is not allowed between warriors whose cultivation is two levels apart. I should be fine."
"But you're a Defiant Master. You're not under the protection of those rules," Finley reminded him.
"You fool. Did you also forget that I have Lindsay's bead that can hide my aura? There's no way for them to learn that I am a Defiant Master. I just displayed a strength that is enough to kill even the warriors at the top level of the Star God Realm. Who would dare to attack me?" This was actually the main reason why Darren was confident in proceeding with the trade. If ever something bad happened, he was still sure that he could take care of the situation.
