Chapter 1241 A Smart Ass
Upon hearing what Darren had said, everyone at the banquet felt offended.
This guy was simply too arrogant. He was challenged by a person from the upper-level of the Star God
Realm, and yet he dered that he could defeat the person with a single hit. He was way over his
head!
At the moment, the thousands of warriors present saw him in a bad light.
Meanwhile, his challenger''s face had paled visibly.
"You''ll pay for that arrogance of yours, kid!"
As the man said this, he threw a forceful punch directly at Darren. His fist glowed as it emanated a
powerful god''s power.
"Humph!"
Darren snorted in contempt. He had already activated his ck god''s power in secret. With his palm,
he met the man''s attack midway through.
The impact resulted to a loud sound.
The man''s arm was left shattered by Darren''s ck god''s power.
It broke not because of Darren''s strength. It was because the ck god''s power was almost impossible
to block. Likewise, it could break through anyone''s defenses and take them by surprise.
The force of the impact didn''t just break the man''s arm. It had also hurled him into the air. With just a
single hit, he had almost died.
Everyone fell silent upon seeing this disy of power.
"Indeed, this young man possesses exceptional abilities!"
"Yes. It seems like he really has the strength of a warrior at the upper-level of the Star God Realm."
"He''s a genius! An absolute genius!"
It didn''t take long for the whole crowd to start buzzing with praises of Darren''s strength.
Those who ced their bets on him were delighted to see his real strength. It seemed like they would
be amassing great fortune this time.
"I don''t believe it!" Suddenly, a voice cut through the palpable excitement in the crowd. It continued, "I
think we''re all being fooled here. He and that guy are probably just faking it."
"Really? Then tell us how they were acting," someone teased.
"The answer is simple. This man had deliberately asked someone at the upper-level of the Star God
Realm to fight him and lose to him. In this way, he''ll be famous. After all, is there anyone in this
world who could defeat an opponent who is in a realm higher than them? This is why I don''t buy it."
People began to discuss among themselves as soon as the stranger finished talking.
"If you don''t believe it, then why not give it a try? Aren''t you also at the upper-level of the Star God
Realm?"
"I agree. Why not give it a try?" someone else taunted.
"That''s exactly what I''m nning to do. I shall expose his true colors,"
the man said and then he turned to Darren. "So don''t me me if you get injured, brat. But first, take
my blow!"
The man''s face morphed into something ferocious as he suddenly lunged at Darren.
This time, Darren was in no hurry to dodge. He had a different n in mind.
He would take advantage of the next attack by escaping and luring his opponent to a faraway ce. He
would then ask Kerr to attack him. In this way, it wouldn''t be easy for other people to catch Kerr.
With that, Darren flew up into the air and headed straight towards the distant mountains.
"Look! He''s finally running away." Darren''s opponent was right on his tail as he flew.
"Is he really going to run away? Was he just fishing for fame all this time?"
"The kid is really running away! What now?"
"It''s all your fault, Master Murphy. If you really wanted to show off your sect''s power, you didn''t have to
resort to dirty and childish tricks."
Murphy tried to conceal his anger behind an impassive mask. "Nonsense. Why would we, the branch of
the Starry Sword Sect, need to use tricks to show off our power? Everyone in the Primitive Wilderness
already knew what the Lord Starry Sword is capable of. We don''t need to show off. What a joke!"
"Then exin to us why the kid is trying to escape. Didn''t you arrange the whole thing?"
"No, no. Look, Darren has stopped flying."
Everyone used their god''s sense to search for Darren. He was on the top of a mountain a kilometer
away now.
"He''s moving!"
Meanwhile, Darren was waiting for his opponent to reach the top of the mountain. As soon as they
stood face to face, Darren released his ck god''s power to attack.
At this point, Darren''s new opponent was stronger than the previous one. He had already made three
moves, and yet his opponent remained undefeated.
"You''re strong!"
The man sensed Darren''s true strength through his attacks.
"Are you surprised?" Darren sneered. He then took out a pair of level-nine de and sword. His ck
god''s power and dark gold god''s power surged wildly as he rushed towards the man.
The man seemed unprepared at Darren''s iing attack. He activated all his strength to block them
off.
However, the two kinds of god''s powers were too powerful. They were different from all other attacks as
well. In the end, he couldn''t resist them. He ended up falling from the sky.
"It''s your turn, Kerr," Darren said through his spiritual sense.
"Yes, sir."
Suddenly, a loud explosion tore through the sky.
A powerful fiendish aura burst out and quickly descended from the sky. Hidden in the strong fiendish
aura, Kerr attacked Darren from behind.
Everyone in the banquet was transfixed and speechless as they felt the fiendish aura came out from
nowhere.
"How could there be a fiend?"
"Hurry up! Let''s kill the fiend together!"
Everyone flew up to the sky and rushed towards Darren.
But in the blink of an eye, the fiendish aura disappeared. Everyone watched as Darren fell from the sky.
He was covered in blood.
"You fiend! How dare you show up here? I''ll kill you for that!"
While everyone had finally given up on chasing the fiend, a voice rang out. Then, the Gambling King
came over and flew into the distance.
"Damn it!" Both Darren and Murphy were too shocked to speak.
Why was the Gambling King here? Kerr wouldn''t be able to escape now that he was there.
"Maser Murphy, stop him!" Darren pleaded hurriedly.
"Very well!"
Murphy pretended to chase after the fiend. Secretly, he was only chasing the Gambling King.
Eventually, Darren was rescued and ced on the grasnd.
"Oh no! His meridians are damaged. His meridians and his heart are all filled with that strange fiendish
aura. He''s dying!"
"s, it''s such a pity that his talent is wasted. His strength has proven to be at the upper-level of the
Star God Realm."
"A pity? It is actually a disaster! I''ve just spent half of my savings betting on him. I''m going to lose
money this time."
Upon seeing the severity of Darren''s injuries, everyone who had bet on him waspletely
disappointed. It was as if they were flung into a cliff.
"What''s your point for saying this? Just hurry up and go to the Gambling King to ce bets on that old
guy. The more we bet on him, the less chances of losing money."
"In your dreams. This guy, Darren, is doomed to die. Do you honestly think that the Gambling King is
this stupid? Will he still let us bet?"
"You''re right. He definitely won''t let us bet now."
Of course, Darren was only pretending to be injured. However, he couldn''t help but feel a jolt in his
heart upon hearing the discussion.
Why hadn''t he thought of that? What if the Gambling King didn''t let anyone bet again?
Now that he was seriously injured, the Gambling King would be collecting all of the bets of those
people who ced them on Darren. Why else would he still let people bet on Caleb?

''Crap. I hadn''t anticipated that. This might just be a waste of time after all. If Kerr''s caught, he''ll
definitely be killed.'' Darren smiled bitterly inside. In the end, he was just another smart ass.
''No, no, no. This should work this time! Even if the wager wouldn''t change, as long as the Gambling
King knows I''m seriously injured, he wouldn''t need to plot against me behind my back. Besides, Caleb
would let his guards down knowing that I''m out ofmission for now. This would make it easier for
me to win this fight, '' Darren thought.
