Lord Of Martial Arts

A strange, perilous attack sneaked up behind Darren, but he was able to move swiftly aside before it could even hit him.

Even though he didn't feel the impact, he could feel its immense suppressing aura. It was as if he was marked by something evil.

Behind him, Hanson had stretched out his hand and hit something hard with a loud bang.

Nobody knew what had caused the collision since their foes remained invisible.

Hanson's attack had distracted their invisible enemy and gave Darren the opportunity to strike back by releasing his blade and sword intents.

A terrifying bellow broke out.

It seemed like Darren's strike had hit its intended target.

The agonized shout gave everyone else hope. This meant their enemies could still be wounded even though they couldn't see them.

With renewed vigor, Matthew released his own killing sword intent, pushing it to its highest state. The resulting attack was so powerful that the entire area seemed to have become a Killing Abyss.

The black fog began to stir. It was like a storm brewing as waves of dark mist surged. The creatures behind it howled and whined, seemingly injured from the attack.

On the other side of the battlefield, the senior holy warriors of the three clans were having difficulty in keeping the invisible beasts at bay. Their energy was nearing their depletion while some were already severely injured. And yet the beasts behind the mist continued to fight ferociously.

The ear-splitting wail caught the senior holy warriors by surprise. They didn't expect Darren and his companions to fight against their invisible enemies with much ease.

They pondered on how Darren and the others could have possibly done that until it finally hit them.

"It seems that Mathew's killing sword intent can somehow suppress the invisible enemies. That's how t

l crystal came back to Darren. It just went to show how Barnes was using the fiend's power to replenish his strength.

Nonetheless, Darren hoped he could talk some reason into the monkey. "Don't be stupid, Barnes the Holy. Come out now. We all know what will happen if the fiend comes out. The whole world will collapse and all creatures will be in danger. Let's be rational about this."

Finally, a voice spoke out from inside the black fog. "Don't be silly, Darren. I won't fall for your words! When I regain my full strength, no one could defeat me, not even the fiend!"

It was indeed Barnes the Holy.

Upon hearing his voice, Darren could already sense how powerful Barnes had grown.

"Was it you who attacked us just now?" Darren roared.

"Yes, I was just testing out my newly regained strength. Do not blame me for not warning you, Darren. Get out of here, or I will kill you!" Barnes gave him a vicious smile.

Darren felt a stab of pain that pierced through his heart. Barnes had proved to be cunning indeed.

He cursed himself for trusting Barnes in the first place. His naivety had blinded him of the evil plans going on behind his back. But it was too late now. Things had gone beyond his control.
