Nobilis of War

Chapter 58 Only One Move (Part Two)

The clamor grew louder upon hearing this. Everyone was well aware that Gavin was also at the ninth

stage of the Spirit Realm before he died. While most of the people were exchanging opinions of doubt

and suspicion about Toby's words, others showed conviction and believed him.

As a captain in the Governor's Office, Toby had always been known to be true to his reputation for

honesty. He had never exaggerated anything, and his noble character also explained why he always

spoke with authority among the people.

The Chu Clan elders who knew Toby's personality very well now began to show a sign of relief and

started to hope that Darren could eliminate the Valiance Sect elder for them.

As more people started to root for Darren, the Valiance Sect elder began to regret his decision. From

the beginning, he had an intuition that Darren was a competent opponent. It was his haunting curiosity

that urged him to challenge Darren to find out exactly how strong he was.

Despite his hesitations, there was no turning back now. Since he had already put forward his

proposition and Darren had already accepted his challenge, he had no choice but to wait for the

fighting time to come. Although at the beginning, he had the ulterior motive of mocking and taunting

Darren for his decision, from the bottom of his heart, he was actually in fear that he might be humiliated

and consequently ruined the reputation of his own sect.

In order to fully gauge Darren's capability, he secretly shot out his spiritual power towards Darren. And

this time, he released all of it without any reservation.

Darren sensed the coming of the spiritual power at once. However, he did not budge and merely waited

for it to arrive. Within a second, the spiritual power shot into his head like a sharp, piercing needle.

Undeterred, Darren sneered contemptuously at the elder. The spiritual power the elder had sent him

was no match for the one that the fiend had charged at him after it flew out of the bronze coffin. Even

then, the mysterious power in Darren's head was still able to withstand such a high level of spiritual

power and strike back at the beast. Now, facing the attack of the elder who was much inferior to the

fiend, it went without saying that Darren would overcome it without exerting much effort.

As he had expected, the minute the spiritual power made its way into Darren's head, his mysterious

power activated itself immediately and stopped the spiritual power from hurting his brain. It was as if a

strong hurricane had suddenly blown up, wrapping the spiritual power in its wrath and then instantly

flinging it towards the elder with an immense force.

Darren's spiritual power gave the elder a lethal blow. A fountain of blood spritzed out of his mouth as

his face turned a deathly shade of white.

"I give up! I surrender! Please!" the elder cried out. He did not expect that Darren's strike would inflict

so much pain on himself. If a mere clash of a spiritual power could cause him such pain, then he could

not imagine what devastating terror would happen to him if he carried on with his challenge any further.

At this rate, he would most likely be killed right away.

The fight seemed to be over before it could even begin. Those who were watching the confrontation

between Darren and the Valiance Sect elder had no way of catching all the details and so they

wondered what it was Darren could have done that would have that effect on the elder.

"Can those words take back the malicious act you have just tried on me?" Darren accused. Knowing

that the elder's true intention was to harm him, there was no way Darren was going to let him off that

easily. "If my spiritual power didn't win over yours, then what do you think would have happened to me?

Would I have been turned into a fool or killed? You tell me! Now you want to cover up your sins with

nothing but those words. What do you think I should do? Huh? What will you do if you are in my This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

place?" he added.

Until this moment, people did not understand what had just happened between them. Now they knew

that the two had been using their spiritual powers and evidently, the elder was the one who was

defeated.

"What do you want?" the elder asked, his voice trembling with terror. His heart filled up with fear.

At this point, he could no longer think of bullying or feeling ashamed about his defeat. The only thing

that occupied his mind was his desperate wish to get out of there alive. Darren snorted with loathing.

"Well, I was thinking about giving you a chance. How about receiving a hit from me like I just received

from you? If you are able to stand my own hit, you can leave unharmed. Just like that," Darren said,

placing his terms.

The deal was fair enough, and given the situation, it was not as if the elder could refuse.

'Don't be afraid! Don't think too much! Just concentrate on your skill! You can do this.' the elder steeled

himself and his mind as he prepared for the oncoming attack.

But before the elder was even ready, Darren had already brandished his sword and waved the sword

light over him.

The sword light sped straight towards the elder. Upon combining the sword and blade internal forces,

the power of the sword increased to such a great extent that the sword light it generated resembled

real sharp swords that could pierce through anything.

Realizing what was happening, the elder concentrated all his vital energy in his hands, and thrust his

spear at Darren.

As the spear was let out, it breathed out chilly, piercing winds and headed straight towards Darren. The

moment the spear and the sword light met in the air, a ghastly, shrill sound came and vibrated

throughout the entire training ground. Everyone who was there could only watch the fight with their

mouths agape in amazement.

However, in terms of strength, the elder's vital energy was no match for Darren's blade and sword

internal force. Within a moment, the sword light energized by Darren's blade and sword internal force

defeated the spear that was being propelled by the elder's vital energy. The sword light cut through the

spear and continued straight towards the elder at full force as if nothing had stood in its way.

In a second, the sword light pierced the elder's chest and emerged from his back, cutting his body into

a thousand pieces.

"How can this be possible? This can't be! I cannot believe it!" the elder's disciple cried out. She did not

ever expect that this would happen, and so seeing what had happened to her master devastated and

terrorized her entirely.

"My master is at the ninth stage of the Spirit Realm... That guy is only at the fifth. There is no way he

could be defeated..." she stammered. She was so panicked and terrified that she barely noticed that

blood was trickling down her lip from her biting it too hard.
