Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 75

Darren was struck dumb with astonishment. He followed the powerful voice and looked up.

He was greeted with a pair of formidable eyes full of power. In one of the two eyes, there was a black sword, and in another, there was a white sword. They sparkled with a fearsome and cold aura. Darren gazed in awe at the giant human-shaped shadow.

"I... I'm afraid I'm not qualified, sir," Darren stammered.

The sword intent shooting from the pair of eyes was strong enough to tear Darren apart into pieces. Darren knew the moment he accepted the challenge, it could kill him.

"Fight with me! Now!"

the shadow, however, ignored Darren's answer and merely repeated his request. In a flash, another shadow appeared. It was like a copy of the giant one. Then the two increased to four, and then to eight... In a matter of minutes, Darren found himself in a sea of a thousand shadows.

"What? He also has that skill of making clones of himself?"

Darren said in shock. He had been learning such a skill but it was not yet something he was able to master.

On the other hand, Darren noticed something very important. The giant shadow's vital energy seemed weakened after he exerted the skill. Suddenly, the giant one did not seem so powerful anymore.

'The skill he masters is different from the one I haven't succeeded in learning from the dragon race. His vital energy decreases as his clones increase, ' Darren concluded.

At that very moment, the giant shadow's clones faded and disappeared one by one until only one was left.

Darren knew what this meant. The cultivation base of the giant shadow was impossible to be surpassed by anyone in the world. Even his clones were a million times stronger than Darren. That was why the giant shadow did it. He created a clone whose cultivation base was more comparable to Darren's. The one in front of him was what fulfilled the requirement.

Darren activated his vital energy, ready to fight against it. When he was about to launch his attack, an unexpected change happened to him.

The clone attacked first. Before Darren could even react, a fierce force from the clone's blade intent flew into Darren's head.

When it reached his meridians, the blade intent started to merge with his sword intent with the aid of some unknown power. It was like magic. When that ended, a dark golden aura of internal force appeared.

'How, how did that happen?' Darren thought, surprised to feel the aura in his body. He could tell that the power of the aura was extremely aggressive. "Is that the fusion of my sword intent and the clone's blade intent? Unbelievable!"

The strength of the internal force, however, began to surge in Darren's body.

At the same time, the clone took action. Two rays of his sword intent, a black one and a white one, projected from his eyes and started gathering in the air. The two rays formed a colossal sword and targeted Darren.

Darren looked up and drowned in the mass of desperation as he watched the approaching weapon.

Even though his cultivation base was as strong as the clone's, Darren froze with fear when he saw the sword attack. The pressure also made it hard to breathe.

Despite his fear, Darren's instinct made him raise his sword to defend himself against the approaching sword. If he did not move, he surely would have died.

Unexpectedly, the dark golden aura of internal force broke out. It was as powerful as the approaching sword.

The impact of the two aggressive forces put the world in absolute silence.

In what felt like an eternity, the two forces exploded and turned to dust, fading into the wind. Suddenly, the earth began to crack from the power of the forces. The cracks extended to ten miles in several directions.

The ground on which Darren stood parted and sent him falling until he landed.

In the new place he found himself in, he saw that the ground was also cracked.

Darren vomited cups of blood.

"That was so powerful! It's too much for me to take," Darren said weakly.

The giant shadow followed as he gracefully fell from the air. He stared at Darren with intense eyes. "The power of the clone was beyond your abilities but you were able to handle it well. Congratulations! You have succeeded," he declared.

"If you still manage to live after eight thousand years, you may have the honor of joining my army to fight against fiends and fight for our race!" he continued. Then, he faded.

The shadow disappeared as soon as he finished speaking. Darren, on the other hand, was left puzzled and bewildered.
