Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 1049

Darren looked around at the one hundred thousand Killing Rules surrounding him. He realized all too late that he had underestimated their strength. His situation began to look grim, but he kept on fighting on.

Amidst his impending doom, four powerful figures suddenly appeared.

"Darren, back away!"

Darren heard Francis shout while he was holding off the first fiend ancestor with all his strength.

The four flew straight into the crowd of Killing Rules, tearing through them as they passed, and rushed straight towards the first fiend ancestor.

Simultaneous howls then pierced through the space.

Four beastly shadows appeared on the backs of the four holy warriors. Their sharp claws cut through the space with ease, and slashed at the first fiend ancestor.

A nasty sizzling noise could be heard from the slashes.

A sound of skin tearing also rang through as the first fiend ancestor was being torn to shreds by the four shadowy beasts.

The ancestor's wounds festered—unable to heal.

Everyone knew that he possessed an incredible recovery ability. Otherwise, he would not have survived being dismembered by Hiram the Great all those years ago.

This feat proved that the power of the four greatest holy warriors was enough to damage the first fiend ancestor's core. The power of the Heavenly Exterminating Array was truly mighty!

The first fiend ancestor began to roar and twist from the pain.

His body was covered in his own blood. This array was no stranger to him. His last escape from the forbidden areas had left him injured by the same array, and he knew exactly how powerful it was.

The four greatest holy warriors then merged with their beast shadows and unleashed their full strength at the fiend.

The battle was looking positive until the ground beneath their feet began to rumble violently.

The rumble grew stronger at the area around the fiend. He shrouded himself in a fiendish aura and brought out his black pyramid again.

It flew in the air at an inhumane speed. As it swirled, streams of killing aura began to gush out from all sides, surging violently like a stormy river.

The killing aura gathered more and more until it became an entrance to another world. The four greatest holy warriors began to fall through it, and entered into what seemed to be a world made by blood red rule silk threads. They thrashed around as they got entangled in the mess.

"The Killing Abyss Skill!"

Darren was shocked to see the situation take a turn for the worse. The last time he had witnessed such a scene, it was when Mathew showed him his killing sword intent. However, the Killing Abyss Skill he was shown back then paled in comparison to what he was seeing now.

'I'm worried that the four of them won't be able to resist the skill on their own, ' thought Darren to himself.

When the Killing Abyss Skill was performed, it was many times stronger than the hundred thousand Killing Rules.

Darren left a gust of wind in his wake as he headed for the abyss

right before it closed.

The abyss, made of Killing Rules, was unsettling to the four greatest holy warriors and Darren. Survival felt slim again after they'd just had the upper hand.

"Darren, what are you doing here? We told you to back away!"

Francis was frustrated and annoyed to find that Darren put himself in danger's way once again.

They were ready to sacrifice their lives if it meant saving Darren's life. They didn't expect him to charge straight into the fiend's strongest attack instead the wiser decision—to run away.

If Darren perished now, their sacrifice would be all for naught. Who would protect the human race in the future?

"You've really disappointed me,"

Mario scolded.

Darren knew that the four warriors meant well, so he tried to explain himself calmly, "I can't just watch you all die to that fiend."

Before he could say anything further, a loud boom rang through the space.

The first fiend ancestor had launched a violent attack of the Killing Abyss Skill, and rushed towards them.

"Fight!"

The four warriors merged with their shadows once again and maintained a fighting stance, ready to face the fiend.

Darren quickly reverted back from his dragon form and stood vigilantly in the storm—resisting the Killing Rules.

"Kill!"

Without hesitation, Darren brought out his blade and sword intents.

Explosions sounded as Darren's blade and sword clashed with the oncoming attacks.

They were intangible, and easily pierced through the Killing Rules one by one.

With another loud bang, the fiend resisted the four holy warriors' attacks
