Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 68

Under the lake, it was a completely different sight. As ripples spread on its surface, it turned into three colors, from far to near.

Flaming red water surrounded Darren, dancing like shiny fairies.

A strange bubbling sound came forth.

A series of bubbles rose from the bottom of the lake, bringing with them many skulls that popped out from underwater.

"Eh? That's..." Seeing those skulls, Darren sensed a stream of very pure and strong sword aura. 'They should be Sword Type Creatures, what a powerful aura, ' Darren thought.

One by one, seventy two skulls popped out.

'My cultivation base has been degenerated to the first stage of the Primary Realm, but these creatures have no cultivation base either, except for pure sword intent aura, ' Darren thought, his eyes widening in surprise. He raised his brows and tried to work out something. 'Does that mean I should kill these Sword Type Creatures with my pure sword intent?'

Latching onto this idea, Darren mobilized his brain cells and began to recall the very little sword intent he had comprehended on the cliff wall.

He had just started to master the sword intent, he was not yet familiar with its power when exercising the sword skill.

A fiery Sword Type Creature popped out of the bottom of the lake and moved in on Darren.

He frowned as it neared him. 'The sword intent is so strong with this aura of roaring flames!'

There was no time for Darren to puzzle it out. All of a sudden, the fiery creature turned into a red light ball and dashed towards him.

Darren's sword was already in his hand for the upcoming counterattack, but he was not able to mobilize any internal force or his Demon Core! It was apparent that he had been restricted by some powerful force.

"Well, I must kill you with only my sword intent!"

With a wave of his sword, the first movement of the Profound Nine Sword Skills was dispatched. "Whiz!" the sharp blade edge whistled through the air. In an attempt to scope out the creature's true strength, Darren held back from using the Profound Nine Sword Skills at the beginning.

Clank!

In a blink of an eye, Darren's sword had stabbed into the Sword Type Creature's chest. The result, however, was a great surprise to him.

Rather than being routed, the creature gave off a stream of searing white-hot sword intent which ran along Darren's sword to attack him.

'This sword intent is so much more powerful than my sword internal force. I would be no match for it if this creature has the same stage of cultivation base realm with me!' Darren was somewhat surprised as he felt the sword intent.

But for now, Darren could only resort to the sword skills to fight against the creature as neither of them had a cultivation base.

The next moment, Darren moved his figure and delivered three successive movements of the Profound Nine Sword Skills. His sword edge gleamed with deathly, dazzling light as it swung at a lightning speed and hacked at the Sword Type Creature.

When the creature took hasty steps backward, Darren seized the opportunity and delivered several more blows in rapid succession.

"Swish!"

The Sword Type Creature's skull was whittled into pieces!

"Bang!"

Its body exploded and puffs of heavy fiery sword intent drifted away in the water.

'Eh? Why don't I try to assimilate the sword intent?'

he thought, a bright idea striking him. He urged his mind and released a strange power from his head. Somehow, the fiery sword intent began to float to Darren. As this took place, neither Elsa nor Mathew even noticed.

"This is great! I am truly able to assimilate this sword intent," Darren whispered happily.

After the assimilation, he felt a hint of sword intent wander through his energy meridians, but a small fiery object was rejected by his body.
