Chapter 876 Torture (Part One)


    Darren frowned in mock exasperation. "What are you smirking about?" he asked.


    "I don''t want to waste my time talking to an idiot," the ck-armored man replied.


    He lifted his weapon and sprang at Darren. He challenged him for another round ofbat. The ck-


    armored man thought that even if he could not kill Darren, he certainly wanted to give him a good


    lesson.


    Darren attempted to take a hasty retreat before he realized that a giant halberd had already appeared


    behind him.


    Using his sword, Darren utilized his special skills to fend off the attack of the halberd. As he did so, a


    tremendous force that radiated from the halberd instantly drilled into his internal organs.


    It was not long before hundreds of halberds of the same kind unexpectedly emerged and charged


    towards him from different directions.


    Darren''s body turned crimson red again, while his Shura Force surged all over the ce.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The battle was so violent that it shook the entire cave.


    Under the continuous attack of the halberd, Darren''s power began to gradually plummet down.


    "That is enough!"


    Suddenly, almost at the same moment when the voice resounded, a handsome figure came into light


    andnded between the ck-armored man and Darren. With his fair-skinned palm, heunched a


    powerful torrent-like assault that pushed the ck-armored man over a hundred feet away.


    Thud! The ck-armored man bounced off the wall of the cave, causing a crack akin to a spider''s web.


    Then, he fell face down on the ground heavily. Darren was shocked; it seemed to him that the man had


    only given out a small assault. He did not expect that the blow would bring such a deadly impact to his


    opponent.


    With a fiery cry, the ck-armored man got back on his feet. His eyes kindled with anger and fury. As


    soon as he rose, he lifted his halberd once again and got ready to spring at the neer.


    The fair young man gave him a cold look and said nothing. Subsequently, the ck-armored man


    suddenly became aware of who the striking man was. Without hesitation, he put down his halberd and


    saluted the man. His face twisted as he struggled to restrain his anger. "Master," he said in a low and


    grunting voice.


    "Why do I have the feeling that you wanted to kill me a few seconds ago?"

    the Misty Emperor asked provokingly. He advanced towards the ck-armored man gradually, and


    every step he took forward brought more and more terror to the heart of the ck-armored man.


    "I-I would never dare to do so, Master," stammered the ck-armored man as he trembled with fear.


    He reproached himself deeply. He knew that the killing intent that he had reluctantly revealed would


    had easily ended his second life, which he had earned at a great cost.


    The Misty Emperor walked up to him at length and patted his helmet. "If I ever sense that feeling again,


    I will smash you into pieces. Got it?"


    The ck-armored man immediately knelt down. As he did so, a rush of blood trickled from beneath


    the cracks of his helmet. However light and soft the touch looked, the blow of that gentle tap had


    brought grave damage to his helmet and as well as to his head.


    "Humph!" The Misty Emperor snorted to the ck-armored man. Then, he turned his gaze towards


    Darren and slowly came to him. "Young man, you''ve been here for more than a month. It seems that


    your so-called elders are not willing to exchange the crystals for you or any of yourpanions. My


    heart tells me that they have given up on you," he said.


    Darren nced at him coldly and replied, "I have told you that they will not trade the crystals for me."


    "You are right. I believe you now. But you do know that it means you have lost your value here, don''t


    you? It is certainly a waste of time and energy to keep a worthless thing up and about. Don''t you think


    so?"


    While he spoke, he held his hand and a golden rune appeared at the center of his palm. It seemed as


    though he would strike Darren at any time.


    "Ha-ha." Darren burst outughing. "Who told you that I was worthless? Do you really think that I


    simply handed over all of those precious crystals to my elders?"


    "What?" the Misty Emperor eximed.


    The dismayed look on his face instantly turned into surprise. Resolutely, he drew back the rune from


    his hand. He was d that his intimidation brought such good tidings, since little did he expect Darren


    to take the bait of his threat!


    "But I only managed to keep a few with me for observation. If you let me go, I''ll give all of the dark-spirit


    crystals to you," Darren bargained. He looked at the Misty Emperor sternly.


    "Ha-ha."


    The Misty Emperor cackled, "You are so naive. You have just revealed to me that you have crystals


    with you. Give me a reason not to kill you after I snatch them from you, because I cannot think of one!"


    Darren did not heed the Misty Emperor''s arrogant remarks. "You mean to tell me that you don''t want to


    get all of the crystals, is that correct?" Darren asked with a quizzical look on his face. "To tell you the


    truth, you''ll only obtain two-thirds of my crystals if you kill me. I hid the rest in ten different ces. Also,


    if I am not mistaken, even if our elders did swap their crystals for me, they will still be insufficient for you


    to proceed with your n."


    The Misty Emperor''s face turned grim.


    "What a cunning boy you are! Now, tell me! Where are these crystals hidden?" he roared.


    "Tell you? Are you kidding me? I won''t give them away now that they are my only hope of getting out of


    here alive," Darren said as he stared firmly into the Misty Emperor''s eyes.


    "Tell me or I will end you right now!" The Misty Emperor let out a thunder-like howl while his eyes


    zed with fury.
