Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 219

Darren puffed up his chest and put on a ferocious expression on his face. However, it was all for show; he was just bluffing and had no real intention of fighting the woman. After all, it would be troublesome if the fight attracted other strong cultivators towards them. 'Once this woman and I engaged in a fight, other strong warriors in this Holy Land might discover me. If that happens, I'm going to have to give up on rescuing Elder Thomas, ' he thought.

Meanwhile, the woman did not dare make a move against Darren as she sensed that he was powerful. 'If Holy Lord finds out that I am cheating on him, I'll be as good as dead, ' she considered.

"What do you want to know, young man?" The woman's voice suddenly became gentle and the fierce look in her eyes had now vanished.

Darren immediately became suspicious of the woman's sudden change in attitude. Because he was not sure what this woman's relation to the Holy Lord's son he had killed before, he decided it was best if he was not too forward with his intentions of rescuing Elder Thomas. 'She looks pretty young, so I don't think she's that man's mother. She may be a concubine of the Holy Lord of the Blade Holy Land, perhaps?'

"Did you know that the Holy Lord's son was killed?" He raised his brows and looked intently at the woman.

"Young man, everyone knows that that bastard is dead. Come on, I don't think you would go through all that just to ask me that." The woman gave him a lopsided smirk and looked at him through half-lidded eyes.

Judging by her response, Darren speculated that she was probably the mistress of the Holy Lord.

"You talk too much. I heard that you have captured an Elder who was involved in the death of the Holy Lord's son. Do you know where he is?" Darren responded, ignoring her flirtatious advances.

The woman pouted. "Humph! Why so cold?" She approached Darren and slightly licked her lips while maintaining eye contact. "Don't you think I'm pretty?"

A pleasant scent soon filled Darren's nose, and as he stared into her eyes, he suddenly found her appealing.

Darren felt a sensation in his head.

At the same time, he felt like his face was burning and he could not move a single inch of his body. It was like someone had cast a spell on him. He watched as the glamorous woman approached, his heart beating out of control.

"Please don't tell others what you saw in this room. I can give you whatever you want, including myself." The woman continued making advances at Darren, fluttering her eyes at him as she spoke. Her voice was absolutely hypnotic. It seemed to carry some kind of magic, making it hard for people to refuse her requests.

"Something is wrong," Darren murmured. He shook his head to snap himself out of the trance that the woman seemed to have put him in.

He then immediately hit the woman across the face, making her stagger backwards and fall to the ground.

With blood spilling from her mouth, she got up and burst into tears. She looked at Darren pathetically and cried out in between sobs, "I was so nice to you, but you repay me by treating me like this."

Her shoulders trembled as she sobbed. She looked like an innocent maiden who had been bullied.

As Darren watched the woman's trembling features, an overwhelming feeling of sympathy flooded inside of him. To his astonishment, he even had an urge to pull her into his arms to comfort her.

With a pitiful look on her face, she staggered towards Darren and a warm scent from her body wafted through his nose.

"How could you be so ruthless to hurt me?" Her enchanting voice reached Darren's ears.

"She's perfect. She's the type of woman that every man dreams of," Darren muttered as he stared at the woman and then immediately closed his eyes shut.

The next minute, he was waving his blade towards the woman.

The woman let out a shrill scream as the blade hit her, blood covering her body. "Please don't kill me, sir! Please fall in love with me!" she begged.

"Nothing is perfect. You're not real. Go to hell!" Darren unleashed his tremendous Spirit Power.

He was about to give her one final blow, when suddenly, the woman who was covered in blood vanished and what appeared before him was a stunning girl dressed in purple garments. She stared at Darren, wide-eye in disbelief.

"You were able to break my skill of enticement! You have such amazing Spirit Power!" the girl in purple exclaimed, her eyebrows were furrowed and her lips were downturned into a frown.

It was only then that Darren realized that he had been trapped in an illusion since he entered the room. 'That woman with the luscious curves doesn't exist.

What I heard and what I saw were mere illusions. They weren't real. But that dead young man was definitely real.' He turned to look at the dead body then back to the girl. 'And this girl killed him.'

"The enticement skill you used was amazing. Looks like you have a strong Spirit Power too," Darren said as he glanced at the girl in purple. He had awakened his level 18 Spirit Power, but because he did not release it sooner, it took him so long to become aware that he was stuck in an illusion. He surmised that the girl's Spirit Power was as powerful as his or possibly even more powerful than his.

"I'm Callie. May I have the honor to be friends with you?" The girl in purple smiled faintly as she made her way towards Darren.
