Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 1009

The sooner they would be able to battle with their rivals, the better it would be. Ordinary people would have found this to be a hard pill to swallow.

However, this was not the case for Yahya. It was not his goal to kill Darren. Rather, he wanted to seek the truth.

In order to achieve his goal, he couldn't kill Darren while he was stronger than him. Otherwise, all his effort would be for nothing.

"No, let him grow stronger. I will just put a little pressure on him."

"That's... You should think twice before you answer me, Yahya," the old ape said. Deep down, the ape thought that Darren would be the one to kill Yahya because he had the potential to do so.

"I have thought it over," Yahya replied nonchalantly. "I will go now. You two wait for me to come back," Yahya said, turning to leave.

In the Primitive Tribe

Darren was still immersed in his cultivation. The cultivation of his Shura Force had reached its peak, which braced him to endure the next thunder punishment.

After preparing himself, Darren flew to a deserted island.

As a four-tribulation junior holy warrior, his strength now was at the peak. He could trigger the thunder punishment without the use of the stones.

"Come on!"

Darren released the most powerful energy he could muster. Clouds surged in the sky as lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

For a moment, the sky went dark. It seemed that the thunder punishment was ready.

"Well, you are growing fast."

At that moment, a purple figure appeared above Darren. The figure's appearance gave Darren a jolt.

He reminded Darren of his avatar—especially the ethereal aura he gave off.

The figure gave Darren a sense of familiarity.

"Yahya?" Darren studied the young man's handsome face.

"Yes, it's me. I haven't seen you in a long time." It seemed like power oozed out of every fiber of his body. He exuded the aura of a holy emperor.

"You...You have become a holy emperor!"

Although Darren couldn't believe it, he could sense that Yahya's power was, indeed, that of a holy emperor's.

"Yes, I'm a holy emperor now."

"That's amazing!" Darren grinned. "You truly are a genius. You are even better than my avatar."

"Really?" Yahya asked, his voice edged with indifference. "That's just because our resources are different. Both you and your avatar are very good as well."

Darren wore a calm expression. "Tell me, do you want to kill me right away or you want to torture me first?"

"Are you going to give up so soon? That's not like you at all."

"You and I are rivals. My strength is now way inferior to yours. Why shouldn't I just give up?" Darren smiled bitterly.

"Ha! I'm starting to admire you even more. Unfortunately, you are right. we are rivals, so I would have to kill you. But before that, I can help you pass the thunder punishment and improve your strength."

"Why would you do that? Is that necessary?" Darren snorted.

"Yes," Yahya said calmly and immediately made himself invisible.

Darren's mind ran wild. He pondered on how to survive this life-threatening ordeal.

He went through all his resources and methods and found that almost all of them would lead to his death.

He thought that if his avatar were there at that time, he might be able to deal with Yahya. However, he did not know where his avatar was or whether he was even alive.

"Well, even if I die, I should die with dignity. Let's do it!"
