Chapter 1298 Fighting Maxwell (Part One)
Darren kept on flying at full speed. With the aid of the speed runes, he was able to go back to the
Starry Sword Sect within a day.
"How was your trip? Any good news?" As soon as Darren came out of the secret passage, Murphy
perceived his arrival and quickly went to wee him.
"Well, it went fine," Darren answered indifferently.
"What do you mean? Were you able to sessfully invite Lord Akbar? Where is he now?" Murphy
asked expectantly.
"About that, no, he can''t leave that swamp. But in turn, I have here several useful things that he gave
me. Here, look at this one."
Darren took out the exquisite ck armor and showed it to Murphy.
As soon as Murphy saw the armor, his eyes lit up immediately. With just a nce, he knew that this
armor was something powerful and extraordinary.
"He gave this to you?" Murphy asked while his eyes were still fixed on the armor.
"That''s right. Come on, put it on. With this, you will be able to fight against Maxwell on equal terms!"
"It''s that powerful?"
Without the least hesitation, Murphy grabbed the armor and excitedly put it on.
Suddenly, a strong magical force spread all over his body, causing his meridians to be enhanced by
multiple folds.
"You''re right! I can feel the extreme power! I feel like I can easily take on the warriors at the upper-level
of the Celestial God Realm with this!" Murphy was overwhelmed with the powerful strength that flowed
in his body. He had never felt this strong before, causing his confidence to boost significantly.
However, after thinking carefully for a while, he told Darren, "The people we''re facing this time are not
only Maxwell. If he managed to invite any powerful warrior at the top level of the Celestial God Realm,
there''s a huge chance that our sect will be in huge trouble."
After all, there was still a huge gap in strength between warriors at the top level of the Celestial God
Realm and those only at the upper-level.
"Yeah, I''ve already thought about that. Don''t worry. I have my ways to deal with it," Darren reassured
him with a faint smile.
"Fine, I believe you." Murphy had no reason to doubt Darren after thetter brought back such a
powerful weapon.
After that, Darren and Murphy went to cultivate their martial arts separately. Even the slightest
improvement would be helpful for them to deal with their future opponents. Moreover, Murphy had to
take the time to master using the armor. If everything went well, he would have better chances of
defeating the Gambling King.
Two weeks had quickly passed since the two cultivated nonstop.
The following day, the entire branch of the Starry Sword Sect was in an uproar again after the sudden
arrival of Maxwell.
Darren and Murphy quickly responded, flew out, andnded on the ground in front of the array. On the
other side, Maxwell was standing firmly together with his forces.
"I''m pleased that you two bastards came as fast as you could. It''ll be easier for me to finish you off!"
Maxwell shouted from the other side of the array, exuding an intimidating and ferocious aura.
"How dare you? You''re the one who barged in here in the first ce and even kidnapped my daughter.
Your killing points and divine patterns should serve as yourpensation," Murphy retorted with a
straight face.
"Nonsense! I will get what I want, Murphy. And what I want today are your and that bastard''s heads!
You really have the guts to talk back? Can''t you see these two masters beside me?!"
Maxwell pointed at the old man and the young man that were standing beside him.
Murphy had already detected the aura of the two men as soon as they showed up. Their strength was
indeed formidable and he estimated that they must be at least at the upper-level of the Celestial God
Realm.
"Yeah, of course. I can also see that you must have spent a lot of money this time," Darren said in a
subtle mocking tone, while Murphy stayed silent.
"Ha! So what? I''m willing to spend billions of killing points just to eliminate you two! And because of
these two masters with me, you have no chance of escaping alive! But don''t think that I''ll grant you a
swift death. I will kill you slowly that you''ll beg me to just kill you already!"
Maxwell''s anger was genuine. He was not just throwing empty threats. In the face of the two formidable
masters from the Blood Abyss Sect, the array that they had set up should be useless.
"Wow, you''re so confident. Are you sure of what you''re doing? I don''t even think the two men you
brought will be capable enough to help you," Darren taunted.
"You piece of shit. You''re still going to be arrogant until the end. Fine! No matter how hard you beg me
Masters, it''s time. Help me destroy this array!"
Upon hearing Maxwell''s words, the two warriors started doing some gestures with their hands.
"You don''t want to do that, I''m telling you!" Darren suddenly shouted.
"If I were you, I''m not going to meddle in other people''s matter, or else, you''re going to be in big
trouble…"
Darren red at the two masters, and his aggressive words somehow halted their movements. They
wondered what was going on in this man''s mind and where his confidence wasing from.
He should clearly understand that the old and young men were pretty powerful. At his current state, he
might not be a match to one of them. After all, they were first-ss killers from the Blood Abyss Sect.
There were only a few people in the world that could even threaten them. To throw those arrogant
words at them was equivalent to begging for an immediate death.
"Well said, boy. Now, I''m more certain to let you have a good taste of the ruthlessness of the Blood
Abyss Sect!" the old man said in a disdainful tone.
"Did you not hear me, old man? I dare you to attack me, and you would be walking towards your
death!" Darren answered back with a solid conviction.
"Ha! Let''s see what you''re made of. I will teach you a good lesson after I destroy this damn array!" The
young man also got extremely pissed at Darren''s haughtiness.
"All right, fine. Let''s see what you have to say after taking a look at this!"
Then, Darren quickly took and disyed a blood-red token from his Space Ring.
"Now, you two, I order you to abandon Maxwell! Or do you not treasure your lives anymore?" Darren

said with a cold sh in his eyes. It was as if he unleashed something that would make anyone bow to
him and heed his every order.
Just like what Darren expected, the two masters were greatly taken aback as they saw the token in his
hand.
"H-how?"
"Who the hell are you? Why do you possess that thing?"
Both the old and young men were astonished and even stuttered.
It was a top killer''s token that everyone in their sect was dreaming of having. Once they saw this kind of
token, they had to inevitably listen to the holder''smand. This was one of their most basic rules.
It all made sense now. Darren was unusually resolute because he knew that once they saw this top
killer''s token, they wouldn''t be able to go against him.
"Maxwell, we need to cancel our deal…"
the old man suddenly turned and said without thinking twice.
This made Maxwell utterly confused. He wanted to know what was with that blood-red token that
immediately made them change their mind. They were both powerful warriors at the upper-level of the
Celestial God Realm, but it was like they were rendered powerless in front of this token.
Furthermore, the Blood Abyss Sect was known for executing their orders for the right price. They were
not the type to cancel a deal that they had already agreed on.
But this time, it was different. They wanted to cancel the deal without any hesitation. They wanted to
back out, fully knowing that they would need to give the payment back in double.
"What are you talking about?! How could you break a promise because of some measly token?"
Maxwell asked in exasperation. He could not ept such a thing. After all, without them, he would not
be able to destroy the array. All his efforts to eliminate Darren and Murphy would be put to waste.
"That''s final. If you still want to deal with them, you can go by yourself," the old man answered coldly.
Hearing this, Darren was very satisfied. It was even better than he had expected.
He originally thought that the members of the Blood Abyss Sect might still help Maxwell destroy the
array and would just avoid attacking him.
However, it turned out that the old man honored Darren''s previous order to fully abandon their
for reinforcements in order to fully deal with this matter.
"You useless bunch! I will sue you for breaking yourmitment! Can you take responsibility for that?"
Maxwell started to threaten the members of the Blood Abyss Sect in his anger.
"Watch who you''re talking to, Maxwell! Say another word and I won''t hesitate to crush your head!" the
old man snapped back.
"Wait a minute. I don''t agree with you either. Since we have already received his killing points, we
should aplish the mission for him. Did you forget that he paid a billion killing points? That''s already
enough for us to exchange for whatever we want. Afterpleting this mission, we can even retire.
You should actually rethink your decision."
Suddenly, the younger killer who looked very juvenile spoke and contradicted the old man.
