Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1423

"How dare you!"

Nasir shouted. He was a sect leader and someone had dared threaten to kill him right out in the open, for all to see. How could someone be so foolish? He could not let this slide.

"I don't care who you are, you bastard. If you dare cause any sort of trouble in our sect, I swear you will never make it out alive!"

Darren stared back at him blankly and said nothing more, but a sword intent then spiraled out from him.

In an instant, the clouds grew darker and the air seemed to have thickened and created an unnerving atmosphere.

"Guards, kill him where he stands!"

Sensing Darren's aura increase did not raise any fears in Nasir. At his command, more than ten elders of the sect showed up out of nowhere and attacked Darren one after the other. It seemed as though Darren was done for. Or so Nasir thought.

The elders were all at the low-level of the Celestial God Realm.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

They launched powerful attacks at Darren, holding nothing back.

Whoosh!

Darren's sword shone brightly, the light reflecting off it brilliantly as he swung it.

The sword strike sent all the elders flying off into the air with ease.

Everyone was stunned. They knew Darren was only at the top level of the Star God Realm, yet somehow he had defeated more than a dozen warriors at the low-level of the Celestial God Realm with a single move. This terrified them; what untold strength did he possess?

"Who are you?" Nasir asked wearily.

He did not dare move again after witnessing Darren's incredible strength. Provoking such a powerful warrior was certainly not in his plans.

"I am Darren Chu," he replied with rock solid confidence. He pointed his sword at Nasir and asked sternly, "Where is Elsa? Tell me or face your doom!"

"Humph, I told you I don't remember this person. I have sent someone out to investigate. You seem insistent on fighting me so it is clear you're here to cause trouble. I'm offering you a chance to leave with your life. I can forget what just happened, but if you continue causing trouble, I will be forced to report it to the Blood Cloud Palace. And when their elders arrive, you will regret not having fled like a scared little dog."

Nasir spoke, feeling he had nothing to fear. His sect was close to the Blood Cloud Palace. If someone like Darren ever came in disturbing the peace, all they needed to do was inform the Blood Cloud Palace right away and their law enforcers would come by soon after to resolve their problems. He would probably have to report this situation anyway as it seemed the person Darren asked of was of great importance.

"Go to hell!"

The more Nasir tried to keep the answers he needed from him, the more anxious Darren got. He was so filled with rage now he could no longer contain himself.

Shoop! Shoop! Shoop!

Three Spiritual Flying Swords pierced straight through Nasir's body.

"Huh!"

Panic filled Nasir's eyes. He was caught totally off guard; he had never imagined this young man would have Spiritual Flying Swords. As far as he knew, only powerful warriors in seclusion were capable of creating weapons such as the Spiritual Flying Sword.

'Who the hell is this guy?

I must report this to the superior as soon as possible!' Nasir thought in his shock.

In fact, when he had sent people to investigate Elsa, the elder who had carried out the order had already realized the importance of the matter and reported it to the Blood Cloud Palace. The elder had heard tales of Elsa; she was one of the most talented warriors that had been accepted by the sect in the last ten thousand years. She was obviously on the elder's radar. More to it, someone like Darren asking after Elsa was bad news, so he decided he had to report it.

Nasir's vital parts had already been penetrated through by the three Spiritual Flying Swords.

He immediately activated his god's power to form a protective shield around his body, retreating wildly as he did.

But his speed was not enough to dodge or outrun Darren's Spiritual Flying Swords.

The Spiritual Flying Swords struck Nasir's protective shield, sending ripples throughout the space around it like disturbed water.

Boom!

The ripples spread out like deadly shock-waves and cut the top of the mountain clean off and damaged the high palaces as well.

It was a truly terrifying force.

Everyone was astounded by this young man that had the strength of the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm.

Nasir's shield was shattered like glass under the impact of the strike. He desperately mobilized his god's power once more and retaliated.

The violent explosion that erupted from the attack caused the Cloud Refinement Sect to collapse.

The three Spiritual Flying Swords were obliterated by Nasir's bombardment of attacks. Nasir had already retreated hundreds of thousands of feet by the time the dust had cleared.

He steadied himself with great difficulty, doing his best to regain composure before he flew back.
