Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 749

"Let's head back," Elsa cautiously said. Darren's instincts were never wrong.

"It's too late," Darren said. He did not move from where he was standing.

Whoosh!

A flash of purple light swept past them.

Darren dodged, reaching out his palm but he felt nothing.

"Hiss!"

They heard hisses all around them. Suddenly, a large number of purple-crystal snakes began to appear and surround them.

Darren straightened up. He sensed that these snakes were more powerful than the one they had encountered outside. They emitted a more powerful energy than the one outside had.

The situation was spinning out of control.

"Guys, I didn't mean to offend you. Could you please let us go?" Darren spoke in the same language of the snake outside.

However, these snakes didn't seem to understand what Darren had said because they did not stop their movements.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

In a flash, all the snakes flew towards Darren and Elsa.

Bang!

Darren's sword intent flared up frantically and stirred up the winds around them.

However, the snakes were too strong! Darren's sword intent could not hurt them at all.

Whoosh!

Elsa triggered the killing sword intent in her mind and directed it towards one of the snakes. However, no matter how strong it was, it just left a small crack on its head.

Elsa's face fell. Even a strong attack such as the killing sword intent could not kill a purple-crystal snake. How could she and Darren escape?

However, Elsa was unable to kill the snake because the killing sword intent she had launched was not strong enough. If it had been launched by Mathew, it would have turned out differently.

"These purple-crystal snakes are all as powerful as the inferior holy warriors using their Holy Will. Moreover, their bodies are extremely hard. We can't kill them." Darren felt utterly helpless.

"Roar!"

Darren's body began to shift. Scales appeared on his skin and he began to grow. He transformed into a dragon in order to protect Elsa.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The purple-crystal snakes went crazy. They all rushed towards Darren and began to fly around him. They began to nip at him and attack.

The snakes' teeth bore into Darren's flesh.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The purple-crystal snakes left deep wounds on Darren but he was defenseless. He could not do anything to stop them.

The snakes enjoyed drinking Darren's blood and eating his flesh so they didn't want to kill him immediately. Otherwise, Darren would have died instantly.

They continued to feast on Darren happily and Darren writhed in pain.

"Humph!"

Out of nowhere, a terrible roar rang out.

This roar seemed to make mountains collapse and rivers surge turbulently. The purple-crystal snakes detached from Darren's body and began wriggling on the ground.

"A dragon's roar?" Darren was shocked as his bloody body fell onto the ground in exhaustion.

A dragon's head peeked through the purple fog and all at once, the fog dissipated.

"The dragon race,"

Darren said, in awe. He gazed up at the head and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, please save my wife!"

Darren did not care much about himself. As long as the dragon was willing to save Elsa, he would not ask for anything more.

"Darren..." Elsa sobbed. When the purple-crystal snakes rushed over to attack them, Darren held her closely to his body. He did not let anything hurt her.

Looking at Darren's bloody body, Elsa was heartbroken.

The dragon's head did not respond but shifted into that of a man's.

The figure approached them and as he drew nearer, Darren noticed he was disheveled and dirty.

To Darren's astonishment, the figure was missing half of the bottom part of his body.

"Sir..." Darren shifted back into his human form and began to speak breathlessly.

The man hopped towards them on one leg. The purple-crystal snakes lay around him lifelessly.

He picked up a purple-crystal snake and crushed its head between his fingers. He then extracted a purple bead from its body.

"Eat it," the man commanded.
