"What is a manipulated soldier?"
Some high-ranked rule cultivators present did not know about the manipulated soldiers. And so, they asked the other elders this question.
"A manipulated soldier is made by cultivators who practice puppet-making. In short, a manipulated soldier is a killing machine without any emotions or sense of pain," one elder explained.
"That guy is powerful. Do you think that the manipulated soldiers can defeat him?" someone asked.
"Humph! He is an unknown low-level rule cultivator and a martial artist with power similar to a one-star grand warrior. How can he defeat the manipulated soldiers?
A manipulated soldier doesn't have a soul. Even if he has the rule power blockade, he cannot weaken the attack of the manipulated soldiers. Besides, the manipulated soldiers are really powerful. Each of the manipulated soldiers I have put in the pool is as powerful as the top level of a two-star grand warrior. Escaping to the Protection Domain is a terrible idea. He is as good as dead," said Elder Quentin, the most powerful elder. He was brimming with confidence.
After he finished his explanation, he silently started to heal the injuries to his soul.
After Darren broke into the Protection Domain, he walked to the side of the deep green pool. Gusts of Spirit Power started to rise as he neared.
Darren began to feel terrible as several poisons were coursing through him. He stood beside the pool long enough to check the middle for signs of the young master.
"What? The young master is not in the pool?"
After detecting the pool, Darren did not feel safe. Suddenly, some chilling auras surrounded him.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Four bodies that seemed to be made of metal appeared beside Darren.
"What are these? Their killing intent is so strong!"
Darren was shocked. He looked at the four bodies carefully as he probed them. He sensed no life auras coming from them. But, they emitted another aura that was cold and powerful.
"The one who breaches the Protection Domain must die!" An emotionless voice broke the silence as it announced Darren's death sentence.
The four bodies summoned their weapons and attacked Darren in unison.
Darren was about to avoid their attack by using the Hurricane Teleportation Skill, but a shield with rule power suddenly appeared and blocked him.
"How did you come in here?" a voice questioned.
Darren raised his eyes to find that the young master was staring at him coldly.
"Young master!" Without any hesitation, Darren fell to his knees.
Darren could sense that the young master of the Red Inferno Sect hadn't weakened since entering the Protection Domain. That meant that he hadn't started to break through yet.
What had he been waiting for? Darren guessed the answer.
Now, Darren still had the same aura and appearance as Kaleb. With his power, it was impossible for him to defeat the four cold soldiers. Not to mention, the young master of the Red Inferno Sect was still as strong as before.
"Young master, are you all right? Those damned bad guys! They are trying to kill you. I hate myself for being too weak to protect you, young master!" Darren pretended to be sad and sighed.
Hearing Darren's explanation, the young master of the Red Inferno Sect paled. At that moment, the four manipulated soldiers launched another attack on Darren. It seemed as though the previous block had worn off.
Darren, however, stood quickly and acted to protect the young master of the Red Inferno Sect by standing in front of him. He said, "Young master, you need to find a way to leave this place. Those old bad guys have made all the necessary arrangements to kill you today. I will protect you until I die!"
At that moment, the manipulated soldiers' attack reached Darren. He pretended to stagger while fighting back. As planned, one of the manipulated soldiers' attacks landed on the young master of the Red Inferno Sect.
