Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 569

With a heavy heart, after Darren left the Snail King to his friends, he went to look for fragments of sword intent.

Without the pieces of sword intent, Darren, though now a nominal disciple of the Starry Tower's owner, was not allowed to enter. No exception to the rule, nor a particular treatment was given to him.

The Snail King had killed his friend. The mutant was so hateful that Darren would never let it go. After seven or eight days of diligent searching, he finally found two pieces of sword intent.

"Oh, right. I forgot that there is a fragment of sword intent in my Space Ring too. How silly of me."

blurted out Darren as he suddenly remembered that he had found two pieces last time in a lake before he entered the Starry Tower. He used one, and the other one was left and stored in his Space Ring. He was feeling ridiculous and sorry at the same time that he didn't remember and wasted his time looking for more fragments of sword intent. Anyway, he would need to go back to the Starry Tower from time to time. Thus, it was good for him to secure some more fragments of sword intent in his Space Ring.

Darren then flew to the palace of the Red Inferno Sect where Horace had imprisoned the Snail King. Without wasting his time, he triggered the sword intent fragment. In a couple of minutes, he took the Snail King away.

On the top floor of the Starry Tower

After the real Darren appeared, his avatar shut his eyes and sat beside him quietly. It was such an instant action, like a servant that knew what to do the moment his master arrived.

"Ah, y-y-you…" stuttered the Snail King as he felt the real Darren's aura. The Snail King had sensed the heightened, maximized, and strengthened potency of Darren's aura which made him terrified.

His avatar and the true Darren were like two peas in a pod. But Darren's true self was way sinewy and stalwart than his avatar. 'What's going on?' asked the Snail King silently.

"Sir, please don't kill me. I know the treasures of the Dragon King and the Double-headed King. I'll give them all to you. Please spare my life and let me go," begged the Snail King while he cried at Darren's feet.

All the while, in his anger towards the Snail King, Darren just ignored him. He gave the Snail King a snort of contempt, instead.

"You were so arrogant the last time. Looking at you right now, I can see that you seem to have a strong defense. Aren't you afraid of anything, as you said? You also killed my friend, right?

Let me see if your shell can withstand my blow or not!" Darren bellowed out.

Bang!

A loud slap reverberated across the Starry Tower as Darren smashed on the Snail King's shell. Such force was enough to trample on an entire palace, much more a gigantic snail. If only the Snail King were not that compelling, he could be ashes in no time.

But then again, the Snail King's shell, as his primary line of defense, was extremely hard. After Darren's dominant blow, only a few cracks spread like spider webs across its carapace.
