Chapter 1242 Comprehending The Sword Skill (1/2)
Darren was most concerned about Kerr getting caught by the Gambling King. If this happened, his chances for survival were slim to none.
Seeing that Darren was badly injured, the people of the branch of the Starry Sword Sect immediately carried him back to the sect.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
The news that Darren had been seriously injured spread around the circle of people who had placed bets with their killing points. Many people who had bet exorbitant sums on Darren regretted their decision to bet on him.
”Darren, my father just came back. He's in the secret room, and he is asking for you,”
Freda said, jolting Darren from his trance.
”Alright, take me there.” Darren stood up and walked with Freda.
After passing through a series of secret arrays, Darren found himself in a secret room underground.
”Master Murphy, how did you get hurt?”
Darren looked up and saw Murphy's pale face. His aura was weak, and his body looked badly mangled. He had been injured badly.
”Do not worry about me, I am fine. But your subordinate has been caught by the Gambling King.” He let out an exasperated sigh, and his eyes looked weary.
Darren frowned and his face darkened. ”Caught? He did not kill him?”
”How dare he kill a fiend by himself? Once any fiend is caught invading the territory of the human race, it must be reported to the Tussle Holy House. The senior leaders need to decide what course of action to take,” said Murphy.
”Why?”
”Ha-ha.” Murphy let out a bitter chuckle. ”Darren, we humans in the Primitive Wilderness are mere slaves. We had supreme gods before who released us from our shackles with their magnificent power and strength. However, we no longer have any supreme gods. We have to live cautiously. We have to be careful about dealing with the other races. Once we violate any treaties, we are in danger of extinction.”
Darren felt anger bubble up within him and envelop his heart.
”Are humans really so weak?” Darren's voice was filled with fury and resentment.
