Chapter 40 Jerome Bei (2/2)

The power of the blade and the power of the sword filled the whole Life and Death Valley like huge wave of water washing over it.

”You have to die!” William didn't even care to dodge. He just went after Darren like a madman.

He brandished his blade with a massive aura around it and rammed it straight towards Darren.

Rumble!

With another loud sound, the ears of the disciples above the valley who were in a lower realm than the Spirit Realm all started to ring. For a moment, it seemed like they lost their hearing ability.

Everyone was stunned into silence. Whether Darren was still alive or dead

”Long time no see, Cody. You are still in the Spirit Realm? What a shame. You are almost thirty and you still haven't progressed much. You don't get to talk to me like that, you loser!” Jerome Bei said arrogantly.

”You!” Anger rose in Cody's heart. The sword on his back moved. He wanted to fight with Jerome so badly to make him regret his words.

”Enough, Cody! Take Darren back to the Sword Mountain,” Thomas commanded. As he spoke, he used an invisible sword intent to attack Jerome.

This shocked him as he did not expect the attack. He backed up a few steps and immediately shot an arrow out. It exploded in mid-air but he was still sent flying by Thomas' blow.

”How dare you attack a young disciple, Thomas!” the elder of the School of Arrow Skill remarked as he looked at Jerome with a distressed expression.

”Oh? How can you be so sure that it was me?” Thomas didn't plan to admit that it was him who attacked Jerome on his disciple's behalf.

”You!” The elder of the School of Arrow Skill couldn't find a way to argue back. So instead, he said, ”Why would you attack the best disciple of my school for a loser? I won't let this go easily, Thomas! Wait till the next Five Schools Competition! You will regret what you have done today. Let's go, Jerome.”

In Life and Death Valley, Jerome glared at Cody with hateful eyes. ”In the next Five Schools Competition, I will make every member of the School of Sword Skill kneel in front of me!” he declared.

Then, he walked up to Darren. ”As for you, loser, I hope you can live 'till the day I kick the School of Sword Skill's ass. Do you want to know why I did all this? It's because you were too arrogant for my liking.”

With these words, he laughed and left, following the elder of the School of Arrow Skill.

When he was gone, Darren struggled to stand. He couldn't support himself anymore. He was both hurt because of the opposing internal forces inside him and the pressure brought about by Jerome. Under all the pain, he blacked out.

But before he completely lost his consciousness, he managed to silently vow to himself, ”I will make you kneel in front of me like a petty dog when I get stronger. One day, Jerome!”
