Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 1005

"Sir, are you sure that he's the Sea Spiritual King?" Darren asked.

"I'm sure he is! I saw him when I first became a holy emperor. It's a good thing he didn't attack me that time or I would've died for sure."

There was no mistaking that horrible aura; the old man could clearly remember it.

Darren took this as bad news. The person caught in the big wave was Hailey. He had to save her.

Under the huge wave was the powerful Sea Spiritual King. Darren was at a loss as to what to do next. If he offended the Sea Spiritual King, it would mean big trouble.

"Let me go! You monster!"

Darren and the others flew close enough to hear this angry yelling.

"Hailey! Are you alright?" Darren shouted.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Hailey suddenly trembled in the huge wave. Tears began to form in her eyes.

Since Darren left the village that day, he never came back. Hailey scoured the area, trying her best to look for him, to no avail.

In resignation, she supposed Darren had been killed by Yahya.

She had been plunged into despair after this. The whole world felt dark.

Right in the face of danger, she heard the voice that she'd been longing to hear both day and night. How could she not be overjoyed?

"Darren! Thank goodness you're alive!"

Hailey's tone quickly turned to caution.

"Darren, you have to get out of here. I'm being held here by a very powerful monster. He's too strong for you. You have to retreat!"

Darren paid no mind to Hailey's words. He flew straight towards the giant wave.

In a blink of an eye, Darren was standing in front of Hailey. He put his arm around her waist and tried to pull her out.

The sound of a rush of waves rang through.

Two black tentacles emerged from the depths and latched onto Darren and Hailey.

Darren was unable to use his powers due to some mysterious force of the tentacles.

"This doesn't look so good." Darren's heart sank.

"Darren, what on earth are you doing here? Now we're both trapped," said Hailey sadly.

"How could I just abandon you when I saw you in danger?"

Hailey was dumbstruck by Darren's words. A bittersweet feeling washed over her.

"You still care about me after all, don't you?" She was doing her best to choke back her tears.

After that crazy three days many years ago, she couldn't get rid of the memory. It was etched on her mind. Every time she'd cultivate alone or feel lonely, his handsome face was always in her mind.

She was longing to see Darren day and night.

Deep down, Hailey knew that Darren held no special feelings for her. The thought alone made her heart ache.

Now here was Darren, rushing in recklessly to save her life. On the one hand, she feared for his life. On the other hand, the thought of her and Darren dying together would make her very happy. It was a strange, complicated mix of emotions.

"Darren!" Hailey turned around and looked right at Darren, her poignant eyes almost shimmering.

"What is it?" Darren looked right back at Hailey. In front of him was a beautiful face with the saddest smile.

"I'm sorry that you're going to die here. But I'm happy I can at least die with you," said Hailey.

"You're happy to die?" Darren felt disappointed in himself. He was here to save Hailey, and now here she was accepting death.

"Of course I'm happy. I can't get you out of my head, and I can't stand it when you're not around. Every day, I prayed I could meet you again.

You know what? I have had countless dreams about you, and each and every one of them is beautiful.

In my dreams, you're very gentle. You hold me in your arms and whisper soothing things to me. I'd always feel happy in your grasp.

Every time I woke up from these dreams, I'd feel ever so lonely."
