Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 169

"Haha!" Amati tittered. "Are you getting scared already?"

Amati burst his sides with laughter as he heard Darren's words, though he tried hard to maintain his image as a learned and refined man. Of course, he would never do something to ruin the image that he took care for many years, especially against a young lad.

"You will not kill me because it's a pity? Fight one blow? Is there a loose screw in your head?"

Amati laughed so hard that he nearly wetted himself. He was thinking, 'This kid has some guts. How can I be killed by this kid who still has milk on his lips? He will die in my hands.'

"You two talked too much! Fuck, fight! Cut the craps."

"Correct, don't waste the fucking time. Amati, beat him! Kill him in a stroke! I have thirty thousand ink stones on your win!"

The audience were starting to lose their patience. It would be a brilliant match if Amati had more fights after defeating Darren. They were too impatient to continue waiting for Amati to finish the current match. To them, Darren was just another man out of many waiting to be beaten publicly.

Despite the crowd's shriek, Darren couldn't help but contemplate a little. His words made sense for himself. He felt Amati was the same level as Jack, so no doubt he would win the match if he exerted his whole power, but it would consume a lot of his energy.

After all, Darren's ultimate goal was to earn enough money to attend the Primitive Stone auction held the next day. A quick fight would suit him best, so he tried to offer it to Amati. But of course, Amati would not sit still.

"Are you downplaying my strength?"

Darren snapped coldly which instantly made the crowd silent. They were distracted in just a snap as an extraordinarily powerful sword intent was released, suppressing Amati.

Amati stopped his laughter the instant Darren released his sword intent which made his face change color. He tried to surpass Darren's power, but it was no good. This time, Darren was now on the lead.

"You, you..."

Amati was lost and speechless. There was a look of incredulity in his eyes as he witnessed Darren's capabilities.

'What is this? Am I seeing things right? He owns blade intent and sword intent at the same time? He is a monster! This is something even I can't do. How could he survive with both blade and sword intent inside his body? Not to mention, he is just a young lad!'

Although Amati was greatly surprised, he restored calm in an instant. 'The world is full of wonders. Maybe the lad has found some way to cultivate both blade and sword intent at the same time! Maybe he is not yet experienced with it. But he can really kill me right now with such power, ' Amati thought to convince himself.

"Sorry to offend you. I agree with your proposal. We decide victory in one blow. No killings and torture. Please enlighten me with your advice." Amati cupped his hand in the other one and his voice was quite humble. It was not an easy choice but he knew it was the best one because he had to avoid humiliation, pain, or worst, death.
