Felix scanned the crowd until he spotted Darren. Then he glared at Darren with a fierce expression.
He walked toward Darren and stopped in front of him.
"The famous Darren! Great! You will die miserably in the Talent Battle Ring half a month from now."
When Felix was standing outside the door, he heard the uproar in the hall. Upon learning that Darren was here, he was both surprised and angry.
"Are you the brother of the useless bug?"
"You are the useless bug! Every member of your family is a useless bug! In half a month, when I kill you painfully, you will know that the world is cruel," Felix retorted as anger coursed through him.
"Ha-ha." Darren sneered before he continued, "First, I don't intend to participate in the Talent Battle Ring. Second, you don't have the strength or skill to kill me."
"You jerk. Are you scared? The moment you decided to kill my brother, you should have expected this consequence. You must die!" Felix declared confidently.
With a smirk, Darren turned to the nearest person and asked, "Do you know Felix? Has he done anything immoral or wicked?"
The man Darren had spoken to paused for a moment, then nodded and said righteously, "Like his brother, he is also a villain and does all kinds of evil things. He deserves to die!"
"That's good, enough for me." Darren nodded and turned to face Felix.
"What are you doing?" When Felix saw that Darren's pupils had turned red, he became terrified.
"As a man who is about to die, you ask too many questions."
As soon as he finished, a tremendous force erupted from Darren's body. In an instant, the hall was shrouded in blood-red light.
Bang!
A mass of blood exploded.
"Ah! Felix is dead!"
"Oh, my God! What kind of power is that? He killed Felix in only one move!"
"This is so horrible."
Most people trembled when they felt Darren's power.
Felix, who was at the peak of a five-tribulation holy warrior, was unexpectedly reduced to a blood mist by one attack. It seemed that Darren was more powerful than they had expected.
Felix had intended to provoke Darren and force him to appear at the Talent Battle Ring in half a month. He hadn't expected Darren to be powerful and bold enough to kill him on the spot.
Outside the door, two men with disheveled hair and dirty faces glanced at each other.
Their eyes reflected the fear coursing through them.
"He is too strong. Are we still fighting him?"
"Yes."
"But Felix is dead, and we have no way to lift the curse."
"Then, we should wait."
These two disheveled men were the evil brothers that Felix had invited.
After weighing the situation, they decided to retreat for now.
"Well, let's not panic. It's time to go to the Spiritual Nether Cave," Kingsley said indifferently. He had heard of the bad deeds Felix had done before. Now that Darren had killed him, he would not pursue the matter.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he activated a hidden transmission array and they all arrived at a place covered by white fog.
"I have brought everyone to the entrance of the cave. Whoever can successfully reach the end will get the Six-tribulation Heavenly Armor.
Darren, you are the most powerful cultivator here. I hope that you will help them should there be any trouble," said Kingsley.
Darren nodded. Then he voiced a question that had been plaguing him.
"Sir, does something or some creature guard this cave? Besides, I can get you the Six-tribulation Heavenly Armor. Why do you need the others?"
"You don't know about the strange restriction. The Spiritual Nether Cave can't be opened unless a hundred warriors enter together. That's why I need everyone. And yes, there are creatures inside. As each of them is transformed by extremely pure spiritual energy, they are very strong. You should be careful."
"I see. Don't worry. I'll bring everyone out safe." Darren was pleased. His realm was low, and he needed a large amount of spiritual energy to grow.
If what Kingsley had said was true, then Darren was almost certain that he would be able to assimilate a lot of spiritual energy if he killed the guarding creatures.
"It's worth it," Darren murmured.
