Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 184

After Elsa was sent back to the Lotus Holy Land, she immediately went to her master's residence. Elsa was desperately looking for a cure as she felt that her sword core was injured. Her sword intent was also starting to hurt her meridians.

An hour after Elsa arrived, Hayes also came out of the transmission array in rags. The two successive fluctuations in the array caught Colin's attention.

"Hayes, how come you both came back early? What's going on?"

Colin was beyond puzzled as he examined Hayes from head to toe. His clothes were tattered and raggedy. He was familiar with who Hayes was—he was the chief disciple of an elder and a genius in the Wonder Realm. How did he end up looking like a derelict? And what happened to Darren who went with him?

"As soon as we went in, we encountered a level five demonic monster. We were all seriously injured. We have to stay put and heal for more than half a month until we can come back. The demonic monster domain is terrifying." Hayes furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to shake off the horrors they experienced.

"Level five demonic monster! What happened to Darren? Why didn't he come back?" A plethora of questions ran through Colin's mind as he tried to process his disbelief and worry.

Hayes then explained the situation briefly. Hearing that Darren was fine, Colin sighed a breath of relief.

"Darren should be coming back soon. I will go to find my master now. I went out this time without telling him." Hayes cupped his hands and bowed respectfully before leaving.

Colin didn't say anything and just stood in front of the transmission array.

He was eagerly waiting for any sort of fluctuation in the array. An hour later, the rune on the transmission array began to shine. Colin both felt relief and anticipation as he waited for Darren to surface.

To his surprise, however, the rune on the transmission array suddenly became disordered and exploded in a puff of smoke.

"Oh, my God, the transmission array is broken!"

...

In the demonic monster domain

Darren was speechless as he looked at the jade card blown into ashes in his hand. He wanted to pour in the jade card spiritual energy to send Bruce back, but Bruce refused and insisted on following him. As Bruce resisted the transmission, the jade card blew up and the transmission array of the Holy Land got destroyed.

"Shit, I don't know how to get back now!" Darren sighed in frustration.

"Sorry!" Bruce lowered his head apologetically, knowing that he had caused Darren trouble.

"Forget it, it's all done anyway. We should take a look at this demonic monster domain, instead," Darren murmured nonchalantly.

He took out the map Hayes left and tried to comprehend the details. He studied it briefly and got a general understanding of the mysterious land they were situated.

'We're stuck here anyway, we might as well slaughter demonic monsters to absorb talent, ' Darren thought as he racked his brain of ways to get out of the demonic monster domain. He had been fantasizing about what would happen if he reached the Heaven Degree talent—surpassing it, even.

With this in mind, Darren wandered around the domain with Bruce.

As Darren walked slowly in the direction of Fire Cave, he learned the Nine Changes of the Demon and the Spectral Chop using his upgraded talent. He was able to slaughter the beasts that had been left alone previously.

Darren and Bruce kept scouring for demonic monsters and defeating them. Time seemed to move quickly and they barely noticed that half a month had already passed. By then, they already killed more than 40 level three demonic monsters.

However, Darren's talent had reached the level seven of the Earth Degree. Absorbing the talent of level three demonic monsters was not enough for upgrade. If he wanted his talent to skyrocket to a new level, he had to start killing demonic monsters at the level five. It was obvious that he and Bruce could not do so with their current strengths.

In a low-lying jungle, two figures lurked quietly, studying a level four demonic monster in front of them.

"Bruce, you go and hit it on its head. And I'll sneak towards it and pierce its heart."

After two weeks of slaughtering demonic monsters together, Darren and Bruce had already developed a tacit approach to hunting.

As the tasks were delegated to each of them, Bruce moved like an arrow towards the snake-type level four demonic monster.

The level four demonic monster was equivalent to a beginner in the Wonder Realm, and should not be underestimated—this demonic monster was somewhat powerful.

Bang!

Bruce hit the head of the demonic monster with a punch. However, it was barely injured. Instead, the snake-like demonic monster slithered through and captured Bruce. It opened its giant mouth as it prepared to swallow Bruce.

Before anything horrendous could happen, Darren unleashed the demonic transformation in his body and rushed towards the demonic monster at a very fast speed. His majestic blade and sword intents blew out from within, attacking the belly of the demonic monster.

Whoosh!

Darren's body, like an arrow, pierced through the demonic monster's body.
