Chapter 220 The Death Of Another Son Of The Holy Lord (1/2)

Darren leaped aside as soon as he sensed an overwhelming blade intent rushing toward him. He had to avoid the attack at the fastest speed he was capable of as he was no match for a warrior at the advanced stage of Wonder Realm.

A deafening noise filled the room before it split into halves. If Darren had delayed by even a fraction of a second, he would have been cut into halves by the forceful blade intent as well.

”It's strange! I felt another sword intent here.”

Darren had come to this room as he had sensed a faint sword intent emanating from it. The faint sword intent intensified when the warrior at the advanced stage of Wonder Realm attacked him.

Darren released his spiritual sense to search again. Soon, he found a metal box hidden under the floor clefts. The faint sword intent he had sensed was coming from this box.

Darren darted toward the box and snatched it. Without wasting another minute, he turned and leaped into the pitch dark sky.

”Stop! Running is pointless. I will hunt you and kill you!”

A voice roared behind Darren as another strong blade intent was launched against him.

But Darren summoned his Shadow Lightness and Wind Rule skills to escape the attack. He even concealed his aura to avoid being detected by his pursuer.

A short while later, Darren landed somewhere deep in the palace and hid till he felt safe. After checking his surroundings, he opened the metal box he had found in the room. A brilliant smile flashed on his face as soon as he saw its contents.

”What a surprise! I've been dreaming of these objects for a long time.”

Darren uttered with excitement when he saw the sword intent fragments in the box. These would help him to enter the Black Cliff of Sword Intent.

Darren had to visit the Starry Tower before going to the Raksa Sea as he needed Mathew's advice on how to use the Primitive Stone. He never expected to find the sword intent fragments that would give him access to the Black Cliff of Sword Intent. This unexpected gift delighted him a lot.

”Wow, it seems that Lady Luck is on my side today,” Darren chirped.

Darren lingered in his hiding place a little longer to pack all the fragments perfectly. Then he leaped onto the roof like a phantom. He had come to the Blade Holy Land in search of Elder Thomas. After he achieved his goal, he would go to the Starry Tower.

Darren combed the palace for quite a while. He sensed several sword intents of various levels in the palace. However, they originated from the dwelling area of disciples from different Holy Lands. He sensed nothing beyond those places.

”This isn't working. I cannot find Elder Thomas like this. I have to find somebody to get some information,” murmured Darren in frustration.

Motivated by his new plan, Darren began to look for someone who lived alone and who could offer him some useful information.
