Chapter 924 A Rescue


    Darren was already getting desperate. Any time now, he would be forced to use his Bloody Shura


    Force.


    "Have you already forgotten your promise?" the dragon ancestor asked.


    "Shit! At the crucial moment of life and death, if I only use sword skills, I will die!" Darren replied hastily.


    A million shadow spears surrounded Darren. They all came out from Hudson''s palm.


    Fissures erupted on the ground while smoke rose ominously from it. From Hudson''s palm alone, the


    strength of a five-tribtion junior holy warrior had been emitted.


    Generally, a top-level, four-tribtion junior holy warrior would be able to stand a chance against a


    five-tribtion junior holy warriors were. Back then, he could have been considered a match to the


    Misty Emperor.


    If Darren''s cultivation level couldn''t even reach Chandler''s or Luther''s, how could he possible defeat


    Hudson? His only chance of escape was if he used his Bloody Shura Force. His swordsmanship


    wouldn''t be enough to save his life.


    But the dragon ancestor had distracted him enough to eliminate all chances of escape. All his strength


    might not help him get away now.


    The shadows of the spear rained down like an overwhelming torrent that threatened to crush Darren.


    "I''m doomed." Darren felt his heart sink as dread settled at the pit of his stomach.


    The shadow spears impaled themselves on the ground.


    Dust and smoke billowed from where they were stuck onto. Immediately, the stone forest around them


    cracked to pieces.


    Darren now stood before a ruin. As for the other disciples of the Holy City, they might have the golden


    crow''s fragments with them. Hence, the people from the other cities protected them from the scattered


    energy of the battle. Otherwise, they would have been crushed to ashes.


    "Darren!" Chaz shouted. He had watched Darren get hit by the strong attack. The force of it should be


    enough to kill even him in normal circumstances. He could just imagine how it would affect Darren.


    His anger fueled him to raise his halberd and rush towards the brawny man.


    "Humph! You''re just a four-tribtion junior holy warrior. I can cut you to pieces."


    Hudson merely snorted and unleashed his spear shadows at Chaz. They enveloped Chazpletely.


    Chaz struck his halberd with all his might. Thunderbolts burst out of its des as it shed with the


    spear shadows.


    Each time the des crossed, it produced loud explosions.


    Beams of light scattered from all directions. In just a blink of an eye, Chaz''s lightning was smashed into


    pieces and the shadow spears pierced through his body. His body was riddled with holes, but his heart


    remained unharmed after the onught.


    He copsed on the ground as blood pooled around him. The first blow had almost killed him. This just

    proved that he was no match to Hudson at all.


    As Hudson was about to deal the finishing blow on Chaz, a shadow shed by.


    And then it quickly disappeared along with Chaz.


    "What is it?"


    Hudson didn''t even recognize the figure.


    Meanwhile, Laura was also at a sorry state. She felt so weak that her knees threatened to buckle under


    her weight, and her clothes were so torn that it barely covered her modesty.


    Upon seeing her near naked form, the young men from the Deer City and the Moonlight City couldn''t


    hide their excitement.


    "It seems like we have good harvest today. Even though you''re a bitch, you still are a stunning beauty."


    The young man from the Moonlight City licked his lips lewdly. His eyes greedily ate up the sight of


    Laura''s exposed thighs and abdomen.


    "You son of a bitch!" Laura shouted angrily. Shame crept up to her neck, making it flush under their


    scrutiny.


    "Indeed, Laura is the most beautiful woman in the eighteen cities. No one has seen such beauty


    before."


    With theirbined strength, the two men sessfully overpowered Laura.


    Even though Laura had used up all her strength, her struggles were in vain. There was no more power


    left in her to fight them off.


    "Mysterious Cloud Chain."


    A thick, cloud-like thing appeared and it wrapped itself around Laura. It was like a chain that kept her


    tied down.


    "Ah!" Laura screamed, struggling frantically against her restraints. But the binds were preventing her


    from moving at all.


    "Come now, Laura. You should feel honored that we''re going to search your body. You don''t need to


    resist." Mr. Xue from the Deer City leered at her. His tone was yful.


    On the other hand, the other man from the Moonlight City was getting impatient. Without preamble, he


    grabbed Laura''s enticing body.


    Suddenly, a figure popped out of nowhere.


    It passed by Laura, and the next thing, she was gone before their very eyes.


    "What?"


    The two looked at each other in surprise. Their minds couldn''t quite process what had just transpired.


    Everything happened so fast, and the figure had left no trace behind.


    "Was it the golden crow?" they wondered.


    The only creature they knew that was fast enough to disappear like that was the golden crow.


    But then again, how did it manage to save Laura?


    Things in the stone forest had finally calmed down. The battle had obviously left its mark in the area.


    The air was filled with smoke, and everything was destroyed.


    "Where did they go?"


    "I don''t know, but three of them had managed to escape."


    A momentter, there was something strange in the air and the people from the four cities sensed it.


    "Damn the rest! Just kill them all." Hudson was livid. His chest heaved and his breath came out in


    burst. He had the urge to kill all the disciples of the Holy City present.


    "No!" the thin man from the Ghost City disagreed.


    "Why?"


    "Are you that stupid? Three of them were able to escape because some powerful warriors helped


    them. How else could they get away? In fact, it might even be someone powerful from the Holy City. If


    we kill them all, we''ll be dering war on them. And I don''t think we can survive if a war ever breaks


    out between us.


    Damn it. How could I be so kind to remind you idiots?" the thin man said.


    Hudson seemed to ponder on this for a moment before saying, "If the two most powerful warriors of the


    Holy City dide here, why would they sneak in just to save three people when they could have


    simply fought against us? It doesn''t make sense."


    "Well... What you said does make sense." The thin man frowned, confused by Hudson''s line of thought.


    This further enraged the two young men from the Deer City and Moonlight City. Their frustration on


    missing the opportunity to touch Laura''s body made them want to vent out their anger. They were antsy


    and ufortable the whole time.


    "I''ll find that bitch and fuck her!" the man from the Moonlight City roared.


    "Take your time then. We will go," the thin man said. He looked down on the man from the Moonlight


    City. He found itughable that this man was so obsessed with a woman when they should be focusing


    their energy on finding the golden crow.


    The people from the Ghost City began their search among the remaining disciples of the Holy City, but


    they saw no traces of the golden crow''s fragment.


    Hudson searched the other half, but he also didn''t find it. In the end, Hudson was so frustrated that he


    killed a disciple of the Holy City. The rest, they took as prisoners.


    On other hand, the two young men were too stuck in their own thoughts of Laura and the scious


    things they would do to her body. Both of them were determined to hunt her down.


    Meanwhile, in a grotto three thousand kilometers away from the stone forest...


    "Darren, you saved me."


    Thoughts of suicide had filled Laura''s head back when she thought there was no hope for her escape.


    At that time, she was so desperate and miserable that she didn''t even notice the warm hand that held


    her. It was only when she noticed the scenery pass her by like a blur did she realize that she was


    traveling in an amazing speed. It felt as if time and space were in disarray.


    By the time it stopped, she found herself nestled in Darren''s arms. A feeling of warmth engulfed her,


    making her heart throb with life.


    "Darren, what''s going on? How are you moving so fast?" Chaz asked in surprise.


    Darren didn''t answer any of their questions at first. He simply took a robe out from his Space Ring and


    handed it to Laura. "Laura, can you please change into it for the time being?"
