Chapter 305 Is There More To The Story (1/2)

Sensing danger, Darren cast his Blade and Sword Domain and looked around warily.

”Come out!” he barked.

There was a croaky laughter. ”At last someone had come. It's been years,” an old gravelly voice warbled.

The purple mist gradually dissipated and a ragged old man came into view.

The old man's hair was untidy and long, dragging on the ground. He was gaunt and his skin, corroded by the mist, was unsightly.

”Who are you?” Darren's brows were furrowed into a scowl.

The old man brushed his tangled hair aside and revealed a face as hollow as a skeleton. He looked at Darren, with a steady stream of muddy tears rolling down his cheeks.

”Who am I? Ha! Who am I?” The old man laughed in tears, looking like a madman.

Darren did not know that there was a human being on this island. There were even two other sets of bleached skeletons right next to the old man. There had apparently been three people stranded on this island.

”Sir, do you need any help?” Darren asked, eyes still watching the old man vigilantly.

The old man continued to laugh for a while before replying, ”Yes, very much. You must have a jade card with you for teleportation. Give it to me, boy, give it to me!”

At that moment, Darren saw mixed feelings from the old man's muddy eyes—happiness, sadness, and killing intent.

”Sir, I can cut those chains that are binding you, but I have only one jade card for teleportation. I'm afraid I can't give it to you.” Darren tried to explain. A few moments later, he suddenly found himself confined to the old man's domain, unable to escape.

”Boy, I've been waiting so long for this day. Do you have a family? I will give them endless gifts when I get out of here. In return, you may rest here.” The old man stared wide-eyed at Darren, his festering hands trembling with a mixture of excitement and apprehension.

”There seems to be no need for us to go on talking, sir.”

Looking into the old man's expectant and murderous eyes, Darren knew that no matter what he said, the old man was determined to kill him for the jade card.

Darren's momentum exploded with a loud rumble.

He simultaneously released the flame blade intent and the ice sword intent, causing the whole deserted island to tremble. The rumble of the blade intent and the sword intent he released was almost powerful enough to pierce the sky.
