Chapter 45 Assimilate Black Smoke (2/2)

”Go away!” he said scornfully.

The power that was released from the sword forced all of the men to stagger backwards into the black smoke, turning them into dried up corpses except Dalton.

He wielded his blade and withstood the attack. It was evident that he was able to match the man's power.

”You're quite strong,”

d with a wretched smirk.

He disappeared from where he was standing and reappeared in front of the man. With just one punch, he sent the man flying out of the cave. The man was instantly wrapped up in a cloud of black smoke and suffered the same fate as everyone else who got devoured by it.

”Ha-ha! I'm in charge now, got that? Anyone who refuses my order will die!” Dalton smugly declared.

Now fully aware that Dalton was a ruthless and powerful cultivator, the rest of them did not say one more word against him.

”Boy, you're a good runner, aren't you? You little bastard.” Dalton leered at Darren as he walked up to him. ”I'm going to make you regret that you're alive. Kneel before me!” he demanded.

He then released a strong internal force and proceeded to beat down Darren.

Gritting his teeth, Darren activated all his internal force to fend off the attack.

”Kneel down, you piece of shit!” Dalton cried out as he released more pressure into his attack.

”Screw you!” Darren defiantly said. The internal force flowed violently inside him and materialized into a sword and a blade. The rays of light that came out of them just barely missed Dalton.

Dalton hissed. ”Damn it! It seems like you're so eager to get yourself killed!” he bellowed, ferocity and fury written all over his face.

With a wave of his blade, an enormous power came out of it and dashed towards Darren.

”Rest assured, little bastard, I will not kill you immediately. I'm going to chop you off little by little to make you suffer. First, your arms, and then, your legs...” He roared with laughter, with face twisted in a look of madness.

Suddenly, Darren felt that the strange ominous power from earlier had returned, surging through his body, threatening to come out. It rapidly swelled up in his meridians and fused with the sword and blade internal force.
