Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 651

Darren's dragon body was almost crushed by the small monster's powerful blow.

His consciousness slowly but surely came back as he took in more hits. Darren felt a deep pain started to spread and engulf his entire body.

But this kind of physical throbbing pain had filled his heart in delight.

As the small monster continued its attacks on Darren, he kept on taking the Seven-holy Fruits and refining them in his stomach.

As time went by, his internal organs began to heal little by little, and he started to recover as the elixir started to kick in. Despite so, it focused more on critical areas and thus the throbbing sensation of his outer body was still strong enough to stop him from reaching his full potential.

At this point, Darren had the ability to refine the Seven-holy Fruits in his hands.

Bang!

The monstrous palm hit Darren's body again, though this time it didn't break his bones. Darren felt a smile creep up his lips as he raised his head to look at the monster.

The beast with a tiger's head and a dragon's body was stunned for a moment, realizing that the tattered body of Darren from moments ago had become stronger all of a sudden.

Its eyes were now nothing but full of malice. It moved and struck Darren with its most powerful attack. It didn't want to torture Darren's body any longer; it just wanted to kill him as soon as possible.

But it didn't expect that the body it was grabbing would suddenly move, and the bloodied dragon tail swept at it at a speed beyond compare.

Boom! With an ear-piercing sound, blood, flesh, and bones exploded out of the water.

As a result, the small monster's body was torn into several pieces of flesh and met its demise.

After the small monster perished, a dragon's aura began to disperse out of its body.

"Assimilate." Without a moment's hesitation, Darren released his assimilating skills and engulfed it. A complex aura began to rush into his body. The warrior started absorbing only the aura of the dragon blood, abandoning the rest of the auras—tiger and bear, as he didn't need them.

After obtaining the dragon aura, Darren felt rather odd. The small monster was powerful, but it possessed close to no talent for martial arts. He wondered why.

Despite so he had no time to ponder about why and ifs. Once the small monster had died, the other eight, far larger than the perished one, refused to stay silent and decided to avenge their small friend. They simultaneously raised their palms to Darren's direction and immediately landed their attacks.

With the suppression alleviating, Darren's strength was restored, followed by his speed and agility.

He ran as fast as he could while using as many Seven-holy Fruits as possible. The aura of the dragon blood filled his body, at the same time healing whatever leftover injuries he had.

"The suppression has been completely removed." After what seemed to be forever, Darren was positive that his strength was back to its exemplary shape. His body was still recovering though, making him unable to move freely. He was in no condition to fight all eight monsters at once.

So Darren decided to run away as fast as he could under the water.

Now that Darren no longer needed to use the Seven-holy Fruits, he took out some magic herbs and healing pills instead to heal his body faster.

"That's too slow. I'll just absorb the purple leaf," Darren muttered to himself. He started to recover little by little and began to absorb the spiritual energy contained in the purple leaf.

The two purple leaves he had obtained prior had been absorbed several times, but the spiritual energy on the first leaf had only been consumed by half.

The eight giant monsters started their pursuit after Darren wildly and refused to stop until they made sure he were to die by their hands.

As more time passed, Darren had already flown hundreds of kilometers under the water from where he initially was. Of course, his current speed was far from his full potential. Though his strength was no longer suppressed, his speed was still restricted due to the huge traction force of the water.

The same was happening to the monsters behind him, so he didn't have much to complain.

Most of Darren's broken bones had healed by the large amount of spiritual energy coursing through his body, though his body still looked far from without a scratch.

Darren decided he would not run away anymore and abruptly stopped.

The aura of the dragon blood and the demonic internal force had returned to their top level.

Now, Darren was no longer afraid of any strong martial artist who'd come forth with forty percent of the Fringe Holy Will as he was not suppressed anymore.

As for these huge monsters, they were similar to those grand warriors who had mastered forty percent of the Fringe Holy Will. Moreover, they didn't have much powerful martial arts skills. Their overall strength was far weaker than the human beings.

Darren turned around and shot back at a dangerously fast speed. His slim body had knocked into a dragon body that was at least a hundred times bigger than him.

As he drew close to a huge monster, his olive-black dragon claw pierced its body. The olive-black force spread and instantly tore its body apart.

The blood tainting the water was as far as a kilometer wide.

The giant creature trembled in fear and it shook like a leaf. The water stirred violently, making the space underwater seemingly spin.

Darren's figure quickly materialized around the giant monsters. As he pierced through them, large amount of flesh would fall, and a flood of blood would gush out and dye the water crimson red.
