Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 868

After having stayed for a while, it was time for them to leave.

They made haste through the land.

They could hear the wind in their ears as they soared through the air at great speed; the mountains in the distance came rising into view.

They passed many mountains before a feeling of doubt washed over Darren.

"Wait, something doesn't feel right. We've been flying for an hour and the scenery hasn't changed," Darren said, as he stopped and looked down at a deep ravine below them. His eyes widened as he realized what was going on.

Everyone also halted mid-flight when they heard Darren speak. As Chandler scanned the area, the thought hit him as well. They had been flying in circles, and were now right back where they started.

"You're right. We must have been placed under a powerful space rule array," said Chandler. His voice cracked as he spoke in despair.

Knowing that they had spent an hour's journey in vain weighed down on the rest of the party as well. A look of terror and weariness could be seen across all their faces. None of them had foreseen the situation at hand.

Luther scouted the area in an attempt to figure out their current location. He started to get frustrated after a while, as his efforts were turning up fruitless. There was no place in sight that seemed even slightly familiar to them. As far as they could see, all the mountains looked the same. They deduced that the rule array they were trapped in had also inhibited their spiritual and navigational capabilities.

In a last-ditch effort to escape their current predicament, Luther shot out his sword intent.

He concentrated all of his energy into the sword intent and made a quick slash towards a mountain in the distance.

With a great boom, the mountain crumbled into several pieces. It wasn't just debris that littered the area, but also tiny hollow space cracks. They seemed to be floating in the middle of the space, and looked as terrifying and horrific as the throat of a beast that was ready to devour its prey.

Refusing to stop at just one strike, Luther waved his sword in all directions. He felt confident that he could break through the rule array. The earth around them shook and new hollow cracks began to appear as his sword intent grew more aggressive.

A sigh of relief came around the party as Luther's powerful sword intent seemed to be working. Their comfort was quickly distinguished as they began to notice that the space cracks were mending themselves in quick speed. After a moment, the space looked as if no damage had ever come to it.

"It doesn't look like physical attacks are going to work here."

Chandler stopped for a moment to assess the situation. It seemed the Space-time Palace had no stops in making a powerful and inescapable space rule array.

"Then what should we do now?" Darren had a sullen look in his eyes as he asked Chandler.

"It looks like we have no choice but to wait this out," Chandler said curtly.

They were close to each other, but could not hear or feel one another. It was as if there was an invisible blanket encasing all of them that prevented any kind of contact.

"Shoot! Not this!" It became clear to Darren that the Space-time Palace was planning to take them out one by one.

Suddenly, he heard a cracking noise from above.

He looked up and witnessed a dark figure descending from a hollow chasm in the space. A miasma of death began to fill the air.

The figure wielded a large blade over his shoulder. The man, with his gaunt face and sunken eyes, seemed to have no spark of life in him. He looked like a creature that crawled up straight from hell.

The look of the man was strangely familiar to Darren. He was reminded of the red-haired creatures in the realm of the Mythological Palace.

The man was clearly a zombie resurrected by someone to do their evil bidding.

"Measly human boy, you've got some guts to show yourself in these parts!"

Just as Darren had expected, the corpse's master appeared; a man with blue skin stepped out from behind the undead creature—his gaze at Darren as cold as the color of his skin.
