Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 26

His teammates interrupted and did their best to keep things from getting out of hand. Knowing Karl, they knew how dangerous he could be if he started using his blade. The fight would end with a bloody mess and this was the last thing they wanted to see.

None of them wanted anyone to die in this fight. After all, they were all new disciples. If the sect elders found out about this, they would definitely have bad records. They didn't want such thing to happen especially before the school-choosing convention. That would be a huge obstacle not only for their cultivation in the Ilmen Sect, but also for their future.

"Karl! Don't let an asshole like him provoke you!" They all panicked.

"No fucking way! He's so screwed!" Flames of anger burned in Karl's eyes.

"You're pushing it! How could you use your blade? That's unfair!" Fiona spoke up as well for Darren's sake when she saw Karl take out his blade.

"Fuck off, bitch!" Karl shouted with fury.

This infuriated her. Although she already decided on staying out of the fight, she found it hard to control herself when she heard Karl call her a bitch. At once, she took out her saber and attacked Karl.

"Clang!"

An intense streak of his blade shone in the air. With that, Fiona was thrown back with blood on her mouth.

'Mighty force!' Darren marveled in mind. He assumed that the attack from Karl's blade was stronger than a great martial arts skill.

Darren walked over to Fiona and helped her stand up. "Are you all right?" he asked.

Fiona, with a pale face, answered, "Yeah! I'm fine!" Although she felt as if there were powerful explosions taking in her body because of the attack, she did her best to endure the seemingly unbearable pain.

"What a phony bitch! You think all the men in the world would fall for a girl like you, don't you? You are not that pretty, bitch!" Karl sneered at Fiona.

"What's the hell wrong with you? You sissy!" Fiona refuted out of anger.

"What did you say? You bitch!" What Karl hated most was being called a sissy. He carried his blade with fury and rushed to attack once again.

Darren, raising his eyebrows, took Fiona's saber and rushed forth as well.

'Awesome! I've been yearning for an opportunity to exert the Grand Thirteen Blade Skills, '

Darren remembered every move of the Grand Thirteen Blade Skills but he hadn't ever tried to understand it before. Although he had to learn it quickly, his talent reaching the Black Degree enabled him to do so. After a quick recollection of the first move, he was able to immediately launch his attack at Karl.

They gathered up their vital energy into their weapons and launched attacks. They were as motionless as statues after the first round. And after several rounds, neither of the two sides was at an advantage. The audience, however, suffered from the loud noises from the fight.

"Oh my! They're both fucking strong! Their vital energies are so powerful!" Karl's teammates murmured among themselves.

"What? He's also a blade cultivator? Unbelievable! And his blade skill is so impressive," Fiona exclaimed with surprise.

Darren was still learning the first move of the Grand Thirteen Blade Skills during the fight, but after several rounds, he already mastered it.

"That explains so much! No wonder he is so powerful!"

The fact that Darren was a talent of the Black Degree was well known among the neighboring cities.

"Let's go!" Karl's teammates helped him mount his horse at once.

Darren jumped into the air and kicked two off their horses.

"You think you can get away that easily? Come on, guys, you need to pay for what you've done. I'll take your horses in exchange for your lives and you can leave. What do you say?" Darren said, as he proceeded to lead the two horses away.

"You! You'll see!" The two teenagers who owned the two horses were so infuriated. Still there was not much that they could do. After all, Darren was a talent of the Black Degree. The Ilmen Sect would treat him better than them. They also saw how strong he was.

Wordlessly, they mounted the horses of their other teammates and rode away.

"So... you are Darren Chu? Oh my!" Fiona looked at Darren with surprise, her heart thumping fast.

Darren smiled and answered, "Yeah! But that doesn't really matter right now. Take this healing elixir. We need to leave for the Ilmen Sect as soon as possible."

Darren took out a healing elixir of the Chu Clan from his pocket and handed it to Fiona. Then, he mounted one of the horses and went off.

Fiona felt so grateful for the elixir she got from Darren. She admired him very much. After eating it, she mounted her own horse and followed. "Wait for me! Darren!" Fiona yelled as she set off after Darren. She almost forgot the pain when she looked at the man in front of her. He was the one she had been dreaming about.
