Talented Martial Hero

Chapter 81 Hiding Like A Coward

The disciples on Arrow Mountain heard Elsa's scolding voice. They clearly thought ill of it.

One after another, disciples began to assemble on Arrow Mountain.

"Which blind bastard dares to be so rude to Jerome?"

"This fucking asshole is tired of living. Go and tell Jerome!"

On the training ground of Arrow Mountain, Jerome was practicing his skill when the voice reached him.

He shot an arrow at a training rock angrily and shattered it into pieces. Jerome grunted with irritation

and went down.

He was stopped by someone on his way there.

"Don't be hasty, Jerome. Didn't you recognize the intense force of sword intent in the howl? That must

be an incredibly strong master."

"Sword intent? The disciple from Sword Mountain? Let me go, Gage. I will murder these Sword

Mountain people, one by one! The bastards!" Jerome said madly. To hell with the sword intent thing!

"Jerome, didn't you hear me? The person has sword intent, and it's more intense than Thomas'!"

"What?" Jerome was filled with even more rage. He realized that he had been dizzy with madness

upon hearing the howl. "Gage, who can be stronger than Thomas on Sword Mountain?"

"Elsa!" Gage said, his face taut with anxiety.

Jerome froze with astonishment. He found it hard to believe what he had heard.

...

Elsa waited for a long while, but nobody turned up. She made a suggestion to the disciples of Sword

Mountain as she walked towards them. "Rick, Jerome is hiding from us like a coward. Let's continue

cursing him until he comes out!"

The disciples were surprised at Elsa's boldness, but they dared not back out.

Though Elsa had shown her strength, could she really rival a Mysterious Realm master like Jerome?

"Elsa, I am proud of you now that you have grown so powerful. But as for Jerome..."

"Rick, are you guys also cowards? Do as I say. Darren will back us up if I cannot win over Jerome!"

Elsa spoke with confidence.

The other disciples' eyes widened at Elsa's words. Darren? Was she saying that Darren was stronger

than herself? How could that be possible?

Rick inched close to Darren and asked politely, "Are you sure you can defeat Jerome?"

"You must be kidding, Rick! I am a loser! How can I challenge a genius? Elsa is just pulling your leg,"

Darren said nonchalantly.

Rick felt very awkward and anxious. Was Darren being sarcastic or telling the truth? What would

happen to them if Darren was stronger than Elsa?

He forced a smile. "Darren, we are brothers of the same school. Please accept my apologies. I would

appreciate your generosity if... if you can forget about my offense in the past."

"Do as Elsa says," Darren said simply, looking straight ahead.

He released a ray of sword intent around Rick to warn him. Rick's body immediately stiffened.

Undoubtedly, he would be sliced to pieces by Darren's sword intent if he dared to take a step further.

After Darren released his sword intent back, Rick wiped his sweating forehead and returned to the

crowd. "Let's continue cursing Jerome the bastard and see if he is pathetic enough to hide in the dark!"

All the disciples followed Rick's order, loudly shouting Jerome's name and lobbing insults at Arrow

Mountain.

"Jerome you turtle, do you dare come out from your shell? It turns out the disciples of Arrow Mountain

are fucking cowards!"

"Jerome, you son of a bitch, come out! Are you scared to piss your pants?"

...

The disciples of Sword Mountain kept on with their cursing and taunting for about an hour.

The disciples of the School of Arrow Skill, meanwhile, had all gathered on the hillside, waiting to see

what would happen.

"Jerome, what is wrong with you? Go and kill these idiots of Sword Mountain!"

"Jerome, why don't you teach them a lesson?"

"Silence!" Jerome's face turned ghastly pale. He kept anxiously peering at the disciples of Sword

Mountain.

"Darren the bastard is still alive!" Jerome ground his teeth.

"Err? I've got an idea. Gage forbade me to confront them, but he did not prevent me from going to the

School of Blade Skill. If Alan knows that Darren killed his son, I do wonder what he would do..." Jerome

sneered and his figure soon slipped away.

"Jerome, you cowardly nobody, are you crying in your mother's bosom? Ha-ha!"

The ongoing taunting had caught the attention of many disciples of different schools.

"What happened? Why are the usually low-key disciples of Sword Mountain so arrogant today?"

"Where are the people of Law Enforcement Authority? Their heads really are swollen with arrogance."

"Law Enforcement Authority? I heard that they got in great trouble after that night. They do not have the

time to meddle in others' business now. Otherwise, they would have intervened when the disciples of

Sword Mountain were battered these days."

"What? Really? What happened that night?"

"You promise to keep it to yourself?" One disciple whispered in his companion's ear, "I heard that the

Chief Elder of Law Enforcement Authority was killed."

...

The disciples of Sword Mountain were growing annoyed. Nobody had appeared after they spent ages

shouting.

"Elsa, those turtles of the School of Arrow Skill dare not emerge. We have avenged ourselves. Now

shall we leave?" NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Elsa did not answer. She leaned over to Darren. "What do you say?"

Darren smirked. "We will kill Jerome the idiot sooner or later. Spare him this time."

"We have worked out our anger this time. It is a pity we didn't manage to save Keller and Jimmy. I

wonder what's going on with them."

"Yes, Keller is very gallant for a servant and Jimmy practiced his skills quite diligently recently. Both are

such nice fellows."

Darren's face darkened as he heard this.

Keller had served him when Darren joined Ilmen Sect. He was an easy-going guy whom Darren

considered as a friend. As for Jimmy, Darren always felt a pang of guilt when it came to him.

"Shit! I will teach these bastards of the School of Arrow Skill a lesson!"

The crowd did not expect Darren to become so angry. His figure quickly leaped from his spot and

moved up to the hillside in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Shrill cries pierced the air one after another.

"Where are Keller and Jimmy? Tell me!"

Darren seized one disciple of the School of Arrow Skill by his collar and glared at him.

"Little bastard, you will bring about your own destruction on Arrow Mountain. You don't scare me!" the

disciple shouted, even if Darren's strength outmatched his.

"Oh really? My own destruction. Let's see what yours will be like."

"Bang!"

Darren punched his fist right through his chest. Then he whirled around and caught ahold of another

disciple.

This one was nearly frightened to death when he saw Darren kill his fellow.

"Help! Help! Killers on the Arrow Mountain! Help!"

"How dare you!"

An arrow of vital energy dashed towards Darren, whistling sharply through the air. "Zing!"

Darren sneered, "Finally! Here comes a worthy opponent!"

He waved his sword intent straight at the quickly oncoming arrow.

The formidable sword exploded right away in the air.

"Boy, I do not mean to kill you. But you're being reckless!"

"No nonsense!"

Darren did not care to listen to Gage Gu. He mobilized his Sword Core in the cinnabar field to an

extreme speed. Soon Arrow Mountain had become shrouded in tremendous sword intent. He launched

an attack in a flash, shouting angrily.

Boundless sword shadows surged over the air. Darren dashed at full speed amidst the endless

shadows and had reached Gage in a few seconds.

Gage was filled with trepidation. "What a rapid and powerful sword intent!"

As a master of the second level of the Mysterious Realm, Gaze soon composed himself and drew his

bow to shoot another arrow.

"Bang! Bang!"

Hundreds of arrows of vital energy exploded in the sword shadows. But it was merely followed by

silence, as if nothing happened.

Gage stood there with his face pale and mind blank.

"I can kill you with no difficulty." Darren landed on the ground and looked at Gage with contempt.

Jerome, just having returned from the School of Blade Skill, could not help but tremble at the sight of

the scene. His mouth flopped open and his limbs quivered, like a sack of useless flesh.

"He defeated Gage. What is happening!?" He anxiously asked himself, "what should I do? What should

I d--"

"Jerome! Do you mean that Darren killed my son? I will smash you into pieces if you dare lie to me!"

a strong, ruthless force surrounded Jerome all of a sudden. Someone had approached him from the

back.

"Elder Alan, it's true. I saw with my own eyes when Darren killed Dalton. He and Elsa summoned

thousands of demonic monsters from God knows where when I chased after them. So they managed

to escape."

"I will kill Darren before I interrogate you!"

Alan growled, striding past Jerome and wordlessly throwing his fists at Darren.
