Chapter 853 Barnes'' Change (Part Two)
"Barnes the Holy, I know that you want to regain your strength, and I understand why you need it, but
please, don''t release the fiend. You know what would happen if you do. So I''m begging, please don''t,"
Darren pleaded.
"I don''t need your advice so shut up! I will count to three, and if you don''t go away, I''ll kill every single
one of you here." Barnes made a terrifying picture as he held on to his threat.
Irked by Barnes'' arrogance, Mathew stepped forward and shouted, "How dare you? Come out and
surrender yourself! You have seen how powerful Hanson and I are. If you don''t stop now, we won''t
have qualms in fighting back until either you or we die."
Barnes grew livid. Fire red in his eyes. "You little vermin! I admit that your Killing Cultivation may be a
little more powerfulpared to those wretches hiding behind your tail. But do you really think you can
suppress someone like me who is a senior holy warrior?"
With that, he delivered a mighty blow at Mathew. Thetter immediately activated his killing sword
intent to block off the attack.
Bang!
The impact from where their powers collided threw Mathew into the air. Everyone could only watch in
horror as he fell heavily to the ground. The attack left an imprint of a shadowy, ck palm on his chest.
Everyone could see that Mathew was already badly injured by just one move. It was as Darren had
feared. Barnes had regained his strength much faster than as he had anticipated. This exined why
even with thebined efforts of the senior holy warriors of the three ns were useless.
"I haven''t killed you yet because you are a friend of Darren, and I still owed Darren a favor. I won''t be
merciful next time, so get the hell out of here." Barnes repeated his threat.
Hanson had to reign in the impulse to rush into the fog and ughter Barnes into pieces. The only thing
that kept him back was Darren''s hand on his shoulder.
"Sir, let''s leave this ce. It would be useless to fight him," Darren advised.
He knew that Barnes had finally reached a level that no one could reach. If Barnes did start a rampage,
nobody would be spared and no one could stop him.
Reluctantly, Hanson heeded Darren''s counsel. Grabbing Mathew by the arm, they flew off.
Now that Hanson, Mathew and Darren were gone, the remaining senior holy warriors lost their courage
and fumbled after them.
Once they were far away enough from danger, the senior holy warriors caught up with Darren and
confronted him.
"That thing said that he owed you a favor. How did you manage to do that? We demand a proper
exnation so that we know what we''re dealing with here," one of the senior holy warriors shouted.
"Haven''t you heard of Barnes the Holy? It''s him inside that ck fog," Darren said, coldly.
"Barnes the Holy?"
The name sounded familiar, but for some reason, no one connected it with the legendary figure from
the ancient times. But now, the old tale finally came rushing back to them.
The look on their faces changed dramatically from fury to horror as they repeated the name under their
breath.
"Barnes the Holy?
Is this a joke? Do you think it''s funny to make fun of us at a crisis like this?"
"Is it really the legendary senior holy warrior, Barnes the Holy?"
Before long, a wave of unease wove into the senior holy warriors, making them restless. Almost all of
them grew up hearing the tales of Barnes the Holy, and now these tales came vividly into their minds.
They remembered how he ughtered all the potential holy emperors, and how he defeated many
mighty senior holy warriors during his time. They had never, in their wildest dreams, expected that they

would confront him one day.
"Of course it''s him.
So there''s your answer. Now you know who you''re dealing with. If there is nothing else you want to
know, I am leaving," Darren said, impatiently.
But before he could even leave, Chilton appeared and waid his way with his weapon. "Stop! We
can''t just let you go! You''ve yed a huge part in this cmity. It''s because of you that Barnes the Holy
could sneak into the forbidden area. Now, he threatened to release the fiend.
We all know how powerful Barnes the Holy is. If such a thing happens, it''ll surely be the end of us. So
we can''t let you leave."
Hanson immediately stepped forward and stood between Darren and Chilton. "Are you saying that a
fight is definitely on the table?"
"It''s not a fight, it''s a killing! Hanson and Mathew, both of you are powerful enough to save the human
race. We will not harm you, but if you choose to help Darren, then it''d be your death warrant." The
remaining members of the senior holy warriors had also started disying hostility towards them.
All of them med Darren for getting them into this mess, so now they wanted to eliminate him.
Darren suddenlyughed. "You still want to kill me now even when we''re in the brink of crisis? Are you
forgetting that you senior holy warriors are appointed to defend the human race? But now you n on
killing a human first?"
"Boy, don''t try to shift the me on us. Your words would not sway us!" one of the senior holy warriors
said, angrily.
"I know whether I am guilty or not. But do you really want to kill me because of this? Or are you simply
looking for an excuse to punish me for offending Chilton?"
Darren stared at each of the senior holy warriors'' faces. It was as if he was challenging them. "If you kill
me now, then the elders of the Sacred Pce will definitely avenge me. They will wage war against you
which will only end badly for both sides. This feud is between me and Chilton, and I prefer to keep it to
ourselves. I suggest that you leave it to us to handle the situation instead of involving everyone else."
