Lord Of Martial Arts

Darren left the cave under the lake by himself. Looking up at the inky black sky, he felt suffocated.

There were many powerful races in the abyss. It definitely wasn't going to be easy to find a race that Darren was qualified to deal with.

Only creatures like the purple devil were as weak as ants in the abyss, and Darren was confident of dealing with them.

Carrying his sword and blade on his back, Darren trudged along a path of black earth. The only other movements came from his shadow, which amplified his loneliness.

After walking for some time, Darren halted in his tracks.

The wind was blowing past his ears. It carried an unusual aura with it.

Whoosh!

Darren frowned. Concentrating, he poked a wisp of sword intent into the ground to probe.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the blink of an eye, the black soil began to erode and multitudes of creatures emerged.

Before he knew what was happening, Darren was surrounded by a group of worm-like creatures. Their wriggly bodies were at least ten feet long, mucus dripping off of its surface. They emitted a foul stench, causing Darren to gag a little.

And yet, he smiled.

"They're weaker than the purple devils!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Darren didn't waste any time. He instantly brandished his sword and blade, and attacked them.

Hundreds of worms were killed in an instant.

Darren then released his god's power and forcefully compressed the souls of the worms that tried to escape.

It didn't take long before the souls of the worms condensed into crystals.

However, once the souls of hundreds of worms were compressed, the soul crystal they formed was but the size of a fingertip. This was far from what the Rule Soul Avatar needed.

However, Darren wasn't surprised. Generally speaking, the stronger the creatures were, the more crystals their souls would condense.

Yet he still felt a bit better. After all, it was better than nothing.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth began to shake once more and then collapsed. Figures covered in mucus rushed into the void.

"Huh!"

While the quality wasn't great, at the very least, they came in large quantities!

There were probably millions of worms. If Darren managed to slaughter them all, he could collect at least a few hundred kilograms of soul crystals.

Darren launched himself into the air. His sword intent circled around his body and slaughtered any worm that crossed his path.

In a matter of

So, he wants to take my body..." Only then did Darren understand what the fiend was really up to.

As he turned these thoughts over in his mind, he flew over and landed quietly in front of the fiend.

"What? Have you given up already?" The fiend smiled bitterly. He was hoping Darren would put up a fight. The strong fiendish aura streamed towards Darren hungrily. Even with his remarkable body defense, Darren still felt that his bones were about to break under the pressure of the fiendish aura.

"Hahaha..."

Darren suddenly burst into laughter, as if the pressure didn't bother him one bit.

"You're just after my body, aren't you?" Darren's voice turned cold.

"So what? Once I take control of your body, I will be able to escape this wretched place and come back to the world. It's good you've given up. I'll reward you with a swift death."

"You old monster, you are too naive!" Darren sneered. "I'm doomed, anyway. Why should I leave my body to you? If you attack me again, I'll make myself explode. I'll never let you get my body!"

Darren's words stunned the fiend. Judging from the fluctuation of Darren's soul, he wasn't bluffing.

Of course, the fiend didn't want Darren to do that. If Darren did choose to self-destruct, the fiend would be trapped here for who knew how long. The fiend couldn't bear the thought of this, so he was determined to stop Darren from destroying his own body like that.

Could he possibly erase Darren's soul directly? The fiend had tried to do this from the very beginning, but had failed. It was all because this human boy's soul was guarded by the very powerful God Characters!
