Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 258

The scene was almost like an arid desert. After the tremendous power completely destroyed the entire ground, everything slowly disappeared in silence.

In the domain, Darren's blade and sword intents emitted a dark golden glow, which fiercely collided with the domain of the grand warrior. It was getting tense and nobody could predict what was coming next.

Boom!

A deafening sound shattered the silence. It sounded almost like an explosion of some kind. Under Darren's furious attack, Denise's domain could hardly sustain itself anymore and broke apart into pieces. The fragments were all over the domain, as Denise turned her head and prepared for battle.

Endless blade and sword intents settled all over Denise's snowy figure. As she struggled to bear it with all her might, an internal force which emitted dark golden light penetrated her chest. In a twinkle of an eye, she turned into a handful of sand and disappeared into the howling wind.

Staring at the broken ground, Darren suddenly felt cold and empty. He was lost in confused thoughts, with mixed feelings in his heart.

When Darren faced the master who was considerably superior to him, he felt consumed by desperation.

Then after he succeeded in merging the blade and sword intents together, he felt a glow of pride when he saw how powerful the dark gold internal force was.

But sorrowfully, when he saw Denise vanish without a trace, he was bitterly disappointed.

'Hum? What was I thinking about?' Darren thought to himself with a distant gaze in his eyes. 'That blabbering Denise will regain her life soon.' Darren was certain of it. With a faint smile on his face, Darren effortlessly landed on the broken ground.

However, after quite some time, Denise still hadn't shown up.

Suddenly, it occurred to Darren that Denise was different from the other defenders. Although she was a spiritual intent, deep down underneath, she had a fear of loneliness. This revealed that she was full of emotion in her heart. 'Will she ever show up again? Has she disappeared forever?' Darren thought to himself.

Although she was merely a wisp of spiritual intent and didn't really exist in this world, when Darren felt her loneliness, his own heart ached a lot. He wanted to help the poor girl by getting her out of here.

In those quiet days, Darren felt quite annoyed at this girl who could never stop blabbering about trifles. But when nothing disturbed the silence of the night, the memories came flooding back as he thought about the girl. She reminded him of the lonely days in the past ten years, as she kept on murmuring to herself, whether he was listening or not. When she giggled with laughter or when her eyes were full of tears, it all made Darren feel as if she was the most fragile thing in the entire world.

Meanwhile, in the eleventh round, the black and cold desolate world became empty. Denise left a vivid emptiness in his heart when she left.

Darren laughed bitterly, holding back unexpected tears.

"Are you about to cry? Are you crying for me?" asked a voice from a distance.

"I'm so happy that someone is willing to cry for me in this world," the voice said delightfully.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that you passed the eleventh round. It's time to say goodbye. Ha-ha."

A snowy white figure flew in from the distance. As she laid her eyes on Darren, a faint smile spread across her face. She was indeed a stunningly beautiful woman.

"Crap. Can't you just stop blabbering already?" Darren complained halfheartedly. Seeing that Denise popped out of nowhere, he wiped his tears, as a wide grin replaced his melancholy pout.

Denise stuck out her tongue teasingly and made a funny face at him. "Your reward is the Primitive Stones that you collected. So goodbye."

"Oh, I'm sorry. What's your name? You haven't told me yet," Denise then asked Darren.

Darren then flew towards the sky, stood in front of her and asked, "You are in charge of the eleventh round. So how is it you don't know my name? Are you trying to fool me again? And I remember I've told you my name once."

"What you tell me is entirely different from what I know. And you told me your name many years ago. Please tell me again," Denise playfully said. Denise batted her eyes with a mischievous grin.

"Darren," he replied. "My name is Darren Chu."

"Darren. That's a beautiful name," Denise told him.

She looked him straight in the eye and said, "Let me tell you a secret." Suddenly, her facial expression completely changed and her voice was as cold as ice.

"What secret?" Darren asked curiously. By now things started to smell fishy to him.

"You know, if I call out your name, you will never be able to get out of here again," Denise told him with a serious look on her face. "Darren! Darren! Darren!" Denise kept shouting. Denise then looked at Darren with a frigid stare.

"What?!" Darren shouted back. Darren instantly panicked. He immediately transferred all his power and was fully ready to protect himself.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha."

The gurgle of laughter shattered the silence. Looking Darren's apprehensive face, Denise couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You idiot. I was lying to you," Denise finally told Darren.
