Chapter 98 The Talent Roll (2/2)
Darren's cheeks gradually became rosy as the two old men's bodies faded into ashes. His broken body recovered quickly and a beam of light once again shone at the deep darkness in his soul.
He had come back from the brink of death.
But by then, the two old men had vanished completely. They had traded their lives f
his. His words solidified his decision. He was going to die, and there was nothing he could do about it.
”Whoosh!”
The young man's head fell on the ground as Darren's sword slashed at his head with a whistling sound.
”Whoever sets the value of human life at naught should die, even the son of the god.”
”Thank God he killed that beast!””
Warm applause rose from the crowd.
”It is your turn now, Alan.” Darren continued in a calmly terrifying tone.
”Ha-ha! I have nothing to live for anymore. I don't care if you kill me!” Alan howled with laughter.
”There is no quick death for somebody like you. There is no way I am giving you the easy way out. Now, let me tell you something.”
Darren approached Alan and whispered to his ear.
Alan stopped laughing immediately. His face became a mixture of anguish and anger.
”You! It was you!” He was so heartbroken upon hearing Darren's revelation that his fingers trembled from the pain.
”He deserved it.” Darren swung his sword and cut off Alan's meridians, depriving all of his cultivation base.
”Why don't you just kill him, Darren?” The audience glared at Alan with intense hatred.
”Trust me. It would be more painful for him to live like this. This is the rightful punishment for such a villain.” Darren turned his back from Alan.
Alan huddled on the ground. The saliva drained from his mouth and tears trickled down on his face. He hoped that he had never lived.
The crisis was over at last.
”What an extraordinary young man! I would have helped you if I were strong enough. Darren, Now that the Talent Roll has appeared, I expect to see your name listed among the first hundred. Maybe you can enter the Sky Chart in ten years,”
said a beautiful voice. All of a sudden, a figure of supernatural beauty appeared not far from the scene.
