Chapter 305 Is There More To The Story
Sensing danger, Darren cast his de and Sword Domain and looked around warily.
"Come out!" he barked.
There was a croakyughter. "Atst someone hade. It''s been years," an old gravelly voice
warbled.
The purple mist gradually dissipated and a ragged old man came into view.
The old man''s hair was untidy and long, dragging on the ground. He was gaunt and his skin, corroded
by the mist, was unsightly.
"Who are you?" Darren''s brows were furrowed into a scowl.
The old man brushed his tangled hair aside and revealed a face as hollow as a skeleton. He looked at
Darren, with a steady stream of muddy tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Who am I? Ha! Who am I?" The old manughed in tears, looking like a madman.
Darren did not know that there was a human being on this ind. There were even two other sets of
bleached skeletons right next to the old man. There had apparently been three people stranded on this
ind.
"Sir, do you need any help?" Darren asked, eyes still watching the old man vigntly.
The old man continued tough for a while before replying, "Yes, very much. You must have a jade

card with you for teleportation. Give it to me, boy, give it to me!"
At that moment, Darren saw mixed feelings from the old man''s muddy eyes—happiness, sadness, and
killing intent.
"Sir, I can cut those chains that are binding you, but I have only one jade card for teleportation. I''m
afraid I can''t give it to you." Darren tried to exin. A few momentster, he suddenly found himself
confined to the old man''s domain, unable to escape.
"Boy, I''ve been waiting so long for this day. Do you have a family? I will give them endless gifts when I
get out of here. In return, you may rest here." The old man stared wide-eyed at Darren, his festering
hands trembling with a mixture of excitement and apprehension.
"There seems to be no need for us to go on talking, sir."
Looking into the old man''s expectant and murderous eyes, Darren knew that no matter what he said,
the old man was determined to kill him for the jade card.
Darren''s momentum exploded with a loud rumble.
He simultaneously released the me de intent and the ice sword intent, causing the whole deserted
ind to tremble. The rumble of the de intent and the sword intent he released was almost powerful
enough to pierce the sky.
"de intent and sword intent!"
the old man shouted, obviously very surprised and excited at the same time.
Tears started spilling from his eyes once again. It reminded him of another remarkable figure as he
stared at Darren.
He then waved his hand and the de intent and sword intent that wereing his way instantly fell
into pieces and dissipated.
"What?!" Darren''s eyes widened in shock, for the old man to have been able to just easily wave away
his attack demonstrated that he was most probably a grand warrior.
With Darren''s current realm, he had no chance of defeating a grand warrior, even with the me de
intent and the ice sword intent.
''This is bad. I still would be no match for him even with my full strength. Even if I use the fusion power
of the de intent and the sword intent, I won''t be able to bring him down because of the great gap
between my realm and his. What should I do?'' Starting to be on edge, Darren racked his brain for
some countermeasures.
''If only Water Kylin were here, '' he thought. After all, Water Kylin was nowparable to a three-star
grand warrior, and could absolutely defeat the old man. Unfortunately, he had no idea where that beast
was.
''That beast is always away at the most critical moments. I''ll definitely teach him a lesson once he
The old man only stared and watched excitedly as Darren grew frustrated.
"The momentum really is like his," the old man muttered, tears streaming down his face.
"Sir, why don''t we have a talk? I''m willing to listen," Darren hesitantly suggested.
"Ah!" The old man suddenly let out a roar, holding his head as he dropped onto the ground. He gritted
his teeth in agony.
"He''s dead. He''s dead! Kill the boy! Kill the boy!" the old man suddenly eximed as he jerked up his
head, his eyes bloodshot.
The earth began to shake and countless rays of strong forces burst around Darren, making him dizzy.
Boom!
The old man shot a palm shadow across the air. It moved so fast that Darren couldn''t avoid it.
He was not able to dodge the attack in time and was hit.
Darren spewed out several mouthfuls of blood. The attack left him severely injured.
''Damn, he''s an old madman! I''m going to die like this!'' hemented. Suddenly Darren regained
determination, and his expression turned ice cold.
"Blood Dragon Phantom!" Darren directlyunched the inheritance skill. Meanwhile, he had quietly
refined a few Primitive Stones containing the Heavenly Repression Rule.
He then created eight avatars and led them in unleashing overwhelming de intent and sword intent.
However, their attacks were not able to hurt the old man one bit. After all, their opponent was a grand
warrior who was much more powerful than Darren.
At this point, the old man wentpletely unhinged and started bombarding Darren with all his
strength. On top of that, his domain also seemed to be stronger.
Darren''s avatars were immediately crushed, leaving no chance of integration.
In a grand warrior''s domain, he was absolutely invincible as long as his opponent was not much
stronger than he was and didn''t have a simrly strong domain to defend against.
Boom!
At the point where his very existence was at stake, Darren mobilized his dark gold internal force to fight
back against the old man.
The crazy old man took a step back, amazed by the attack.
"Fighting Stars!" he yelled once heposed himself. The sky suddenly darkened and countless stars
appeared in his domain, making the whole domain assume the appearance of a night sky.
The next moment, a series of seemingly soft starlight continuously fell from the sky, crashing into
Darren''s dark gold internal force.
The whole domain trembled as the silver starlight met its target.
Multiple silver starlight bounced back and scattered around—it was apparently much weaker than the
dark gold internal force. However, the silver starlight was endless and Darren, on the other hand, only
had very few wisps of dark gold internal force.
After a continuous attack, Darren''s dark gold internal force waspletely overtaken by the silver
starlight and disappeared.
Darren was filled with horror by the result. He thought that once heunched the dark gold internal
force, the old man would have no choice but to avoid, therefore giving him some time to breathe.
Unexpectedly, the old man had such a powerful means to shatter all his dark gold internal force.
It also came down to Darren''s low level of de intent and sword intent, the two intents'' low level of
integration, and his low realm.
If the two kinds of intents had reached the top level or even the extreme and had integrated, the old
man would have definitely died.
As the endless silver starlight descended, Darren—once again—felt the threat of death.
The grand warrior was simply too powerful and nearly unmatched.
"Although you follow the same cruel path as my master, you must die, because that is the only way I
can get out." The old man suddenly sounded sober.
"Sir, let''s discuss this. I''d be willing to give you my jade card. Just please don''t kill me!" Darren had no
choice but to beg to him.
The old man withdrew his silver starlight and Darren finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The old man gave a chuckle. "No, that''s impossible. You must die. If I let you live, you will suffer years
of pain and anguish, just like my master. I might as well kill you now," he somberly said.
"Sir, that should be my choice, not yours. You don''t have to do that." Darren''s expression grew rigid and
his lips curled into a frown.
However, the old man just ignored him. He looked up to the sky and shouted, "Master, Jesse can finally
get out! If I have the chance, I will cut off Mathew''s head in your honor!"
Darren''s head jerked up in shock upon hearing the old man''s words.
"Jesse? Mathew?"
Darren suddenly remembered that the servant who had killed Mathew was Jesse Li.
But judging from the old man''s words, things were different. ''Is there more to the story?'' Darren
wondered. The old man mentioned that his master had chosen the same path as Darren, which meant
that his master also cultivated both de and sword. Who was his master?
