Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 221

Shortly after Darren left, two graceful figures stepped out of the shadows. One wore a green dress, while the other wore a purple gown.

"Hailey, this guy has a strong sense of justice," the purple-clad girl said to the beauty in green, who stood beside her. A bright smile shone on the girl's face.

The beauty in the green dress was more charming than the girl in purple. She had an attractive posture and exquisite features. Her pale complexion was perhaps her only flaw. If Darren saw her, he would be reminded of the fabulous woman who mysteriously appeared after the fight at the Ilmen Sect had ended.

"Callie, how did he behave in your illusion world?" she asked.

Callie grinned when she heard the question. With a sly expression, she answered, "The illusion world is full of prurience. How could I, an innocent girl, spy on what's going on inside?"

"Don't play games with me. You control the illusion world, and you know what happens in it," Hailey said as she gently patted Callie's head.

"Eh, well... He used his Spirit Power to escape my illusion world. However, in the time that he was in the illusion world, his behavior was quite different from an ordinary person's. He was not easily tempted even if he didn't use his Spirit Power, and I had to force him," Callie reported sincerely.

Hailey nodded with admiration.

"Hailey, I wonder why you asked our master to find his location. Why do you want to follow him?" Callie asked with curiosity.

"I'm waiting for him to become a superior talent," Hailey said with a heavy sigh. She took several gentle steps forward and peered into the dark space.

"You mean... Is he the one who our master predicted to be..." Callie murmured as she stared at Hailey's back with disbelief.

In the meantime, Darren slowly moved forward in the darkness. After he encountered and successfully avoided several guards, he entered a basement under a large hall.

The underground passage appeared to stretch without an end.

After walking for a long time, Darren frowned. Darkness was all that he could see. There were no traces of light anywhere. There were no guards either.

"Huh... Something is wrong," he murmured. Sensing the strangeness of the place, Darren released his Spirit Power to scan his surroundings. Finally, he realized that he was trapped in an illusion maze.

"No wonder I can't get out of here. A rule cultivator has set up an illusion maze here," Darren sneered. Then he mobilized his Spirit Power to try to destroy the spell of the illusion maze. Several seconds later, Darren had broken the maze.

The oil lamps on both sides of the passage suddenly lit up. Darren concealed his breath and continued to move forward. After a short while, he reached a stone house where several Blade Holy Land disciples were drinking.

"They overestimate the illusion maze and erroneously believe that it can trap me," Darren mumbled.

In the blink of an eye, Darren had placed himself in the room. He had traveled so quickly that the disciples did not notice him. Several bright rays of blade aura flashed before the room filled with the agonized screams of the disciples. When the battle ended, only one disciple was alive.

Since Darren was in the Blade Holy Land, he intentionally used only his blade intent to fight. He was afraid that other people might discover him if he used other skills.

"Tell me. Where are you keeping the prisoner?" Darren asked as he rested his knife against the disciple's neck.

"Who... Who do you mean?" The disciple was frightened.

"Don't pretend to be ignorant. You have imprisoned an elder named Thomas Gongsun. I want to know where he is being detained." Darren threatened, giving him a baleful look.

"He... He is over there," the disciple stammered as he stretched his hand toward a black iron door.

As soon as Darren got the information he needed, he killed the disciple. Then he walked toward the door. He paused before the iron door, raised his blade, and plunged it into the metal.

"Crack!" The sound of the door splitting into two echoed off the stone walls.

Darren carefully entered the room. It was spacious and enveloped in darkness. The sound of waves seemed to be coming from the distance. Just then, the broken door slammed shut.

"Who dares to break into Black Water Dungeon? You are courting death!"

A thunderous voice suddenly rang out. Using his spiritual sense, Darren found that two figures were charging toward him. Judging from their breaths, one of the men was a blade cultivator at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm, while the other was a terrifyingly powerful rule cultivator.

Darren was confident that he would be able to fight the cultivator at the middle stage of Wonder Realm. However, the rule cultivator would be impossible to defeat if he joined forces with the blade cultivator. Since Darren knew that he was no match for them, he fled toward a direction in the dark.

"He is so fast. It seems that the intruder is stronger than we expected," one of the pursuers exclaimed. He was surprised to find that Darren was faster than them.

As Darren dashed through the dark space, he released his spiritual sense to search for Elder Thomas. Curiously enough, he could hear the waves in the space. Darren wondered if this place had been constructed over a large lake.
