Nobilis of War

Chapter 20 Destructive Sword Attack

At this very moment, Nicholas and the others were reminded of the death of Bob, the butler of the Chu

Clan. When they arrived at Darren's courtyard that day, Bob had already been dead. Evan and the

servants claimed that it was Darren who killed him.

Bob was an experienced cultivator, although he was not a talented one. But Darren could kill such a

strong cultivator, which was hard evidence of his powerful cultivation base.

When Nicholas thought of that, he swallowed in fear. The teenager in front of him had changed. Darren

was not the former loser that everyone had thought him to be. Nicholas now felt like prey at the mercy

of his predator.

"Darren, you'd better keep your word. You said that you would challenge all three of us. Don't change

your mind now!"

Nicholas walked forward and exchanged glances with the other two. He wanted to ensure that they

would fight with him.

In the next instant, their vital energies surged, ready to work together. All three people targeted their

killing intent at Darren.

"Shame on you! You three are shameless! How can you work together to fight against one? It's so

unfair for Mr. Darren!"

"Boo! The three so-called geniuses of our Chu Clan. Shame on you! Only Mr. Darren is our family's

true genius, the top talent."

Many of the members of the Chu Clan scorned Nicholas and the other two.

Darren, who had been standing with his hands crossed behind his back, said, "And I also remember

that someone claimed to be able to defeat me with only one attack. Otherwise, he will eat shit. Well, it's

time for him to fulfill his promise."

Leo's face darkened when he heard Darren. He felt so embarrassed that he wished the earth would

open and swallow him.

"It's all bullshit! Winner takes all! Nicholas, let's go!" Leo let go of his pride and dignity. Defeating

Darren was the only thing on his mind.

Leo rushed forward again and stretched his fists. His strong fists moved like lightning as they darted

through the sky and headed straight for Darren.

Darren, however, stayed motionless. As a cultivator with the talent at level one of the Black Degree, his

senses were much acuter than that of inferior cultivators. He could clearly see Leo's movements.

'Well, his right fist is a distraction. But his left fist is aimed at my throat. Nice try, Leo!' Darren knew

Leo's every move, including the flaws in his martial arts skill, of course.

"Big deal."

Darren aimed a kick at Leo and successfully defended against his attack. Simultaneously, Darren

launched a strike with his right hand, which was aimed at Leo's right shoulder.

"Bang!"

The sound of the fighting echoed in the air. Leo retreated a few meters after Darren's attack, and his

face went deathly pale.

When Leo's father saw this scene, his face turned grim. He could not believe that Darren had

triumphed over his son with only one attack.

The Elders were awestruck to see that as well. They found it hard to believe that Darren's cultivation

base was at the peak of the eighth stage of the Primary Realm. Obviously, he was an invincible

cultivator among the ones at the eighth stage.

But martial arts skill was also a vital part of someone's cultivation base.

So, Nicholas and Blake summoned the top martial arts skills they had learned at once before rushing

toward Darren.

A sneer cracked Darren's lips. In the Barren Wasteland, he had killed Marvin single-handedly. Marvin,

the bloodthirsty and murderous hustler, was more experienced at fighting than Nicholas and Blake.

Darren remained unshakable now that he was facing their attacks. In a split second, he delivered his

attacks on his enemies.

The three men burst into an intensive fight, and the strong force between them compelled the audience

around them to step back.

"Oh my! Mr. Darren is freakishly strong! He has a big advantage over them, even though his opponents

are working together."

Leo, after a break, joined Nicholas and Blake as well.

Darren felt a little challenged now that he was fighting the three together, especially Nicholas as his

cultivation base was much higher than the other two.

Their vital energy, targeting Darren, burst out at the same time. The force of the impact between the

three and Darren was so tremendous that it compelled both sides to step back.

"This bastard is fucking strong!"

Nicholas, Blake, and Leo were stunned by Darren's cultivation base. None of them could believe that

even though they had worked together against Darren, the fight ended in a tie. That was humiliating for

them.

"All right! We have the winner now! The game is over," said the guard of the Martial Skill Library, who

had observed the fight for a while.

"What? Is the game over? So who's the winner?"

"They are all at the eighth stage of the Primary Realm. Darren fought against three people alone, but

the match ended in a draw. It is obvious who the winner is," said the guard of the Martial Skill Library,

airily.

"What? He wins? No! We can't accept such a result!" None of the three were convinced by the elder.

They planned to consume Darren's energy in further rounds. One thing would have led to another, and

they would have gained an advantage over Darren in terms of vital energy eventually. Then, they would

only need one strike to defeat Darren.

The guard of the Martial Skill Library, knew what they had planned, which was why he had come to

stop the fight.

Then the elder walked toward Darren and whispered to him, "Go now, kid! You need to rest. Don't let

them bother you."

After Darren thanked the elder, he turned to Nicholas and the other two and said, "Since you can't

accept such a result, my fist will discuss this issue with you. I will deal with all three of you, once and for

all, until you all admit defeat. Come on, three assholes! All together!"

What an arrogant declaration!

Nicholas and the other two were thrilled to hear that Darren wanted to continue the fight, but his words

infuriated them to the core.

"Once and for all? All three? Mr. Darren overestimates his abilities this time."

"That's hard to say. Mr. Darren has made lots of things possible. Didn't you notice that? Everything he

has said today has come true in the end."

"Yeah! I agree with you. Mr. Darren has been hiding his true strength for unknown reasons. He's a real

master, a supreme master. Way to go, Mr. Darren!"

Nicholas, Blake, and Leo activated their vital energy at the same time. Nicholas clenched his teeth and

yelled, "Well, it's time to show you the power of our martial arts skills."

"Burst Punch Attack!"

That was the martial arts skill Nicholas was proud of the most, for he had mastered this top martial skill.

Blake took a saber from the training ground and yelled, "Mighty Blade Attack!"

That was also a top martial arts skill. Although Blake had not mastered it, he was close to the perfect

stage.

"Indestructible Golden Dome!" Leo shouted. The Indestructible Golden Dome was one of the top

defensive methods. When Leo summoned the skill, a light golden dome appeared around him.

"Nicholas, Blake, I will go first. My dome will shield us from his attacks. Then you two should strike

him."

They planned to use Leo's Indestructible Golden Dome as their shield so that Nicholas and Blake could

safely launch their top martial arts skills at Darren. They were highly confident that they would defeat

Darren with this plan.

The three, aiming at Darren, leaped into the air like shooting arrows.

When they activated their martial arts skills, the people around them also felt the power and found it

hard to breathe under the pressure.

Instantly, clouds rolled in the clear sky. The weather had changed because of the intensity of the fight

between the two sides!

Darren frowned. Then a sword, carrying an icy aura, appeared in Darren's hand.

When the guard of the Martial Skill Library saw the sword, he knew how this fight would end.

"I have forgotten that he has mastered the Profound Nine Sword Skills."

Abner, who had been watching from a distance, had already witnessed the power of Darren's sword

skills. He still remembered how Darren's attack had numbed his hand earlier, as he had

underestimated Darren and his sword then. The power of his sword was impressive.

Reed and Mark, however, looked confident. They had taught their sons every move of the martial arts

skills, and Leo and Blake had practiced those for years. They thought it would be as easy as blinking

an eye for their sons to defeat Darren.

"What do you think of this?" the Third Elder asked the Chief Elder.

"It's so obvious. Of course, Darren will not win. You can assist him when he is about to lose the game.

If the other factions have a problem with this, I will appease them. I believe Darren will stop

complaining about the Chu Clan when we have helped him," the Chief Elder said confidently.

After all, Darren was only a teenager. It was easy to persuade him.

"I don't think so. Darren will definitely win this game," Abner, the Second Elder said. When the Third

Elder heard this, he shot a disdainful look at Abner.

"What's wrong with you, Abner? I know he has learned some top martial arts skills, but he is fighting

against the three geniuses of our family. How's it even possible for him to win the game?" said the

Third Elder, confidently.

...

The three opponents shot toward Darren simultaneously. Their movements summoned a strong wind,

and the leaves on the ground whirled in the air.

Although the roiling cloud had covered the sun, several sword-lights cut through the dark sky. Darren

closed his eyes as he activated his vital energy. All of a sudden, he opened his eyes, and rays of light

sparkled in his eyes.

"Destructive Sword Attack!"

The guard of the Martial Skill Library, nodded with satisfaction. He commented, "Way to go, kid! Your

grasp of the first move is as good as mine."

Nicholas, Blake, and Leo were highly confident about themselves. It seemed that they couldn't imagine

a scenario other than Darren being defeated by them.

"Go to hell!"

Leo was the first to receive Darren's sword attack. "This is the Indestructible Golden Dome. Nothing

can break it. Not even your damn sword."

But what happened next proved that Leo was wrong about this.

"How's this even possible! No fucking way! No! No! My dome! Ah!"

Darren's sword attack cut open Leo's defensive dome as easily as a knife through tofu. And in a flash,

Leo received hundreds of injuries from Darren's sword attack.

Meanwhile, the attacks from Nicholas and Blake were inching closer to Darren.

"Damn it! We have lost our defense!"

Nicholas and Blake were dumbstruck with amazement. However, they had no choice now, but to

continue their attacks.

"Boom!"

The whole Chu Clan mansion shook. Their fight left numerous punch forces, blade-silhouettes, and

sword-lights around the air, which injured many people present. Everyone in the audience had

witnessed the mighty power of both sides.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Nicholas and Blake were thrown into the air. Serious injuries covered their bodies.

The cultivators of the Spirit Realm reacted quickly by leaping into the air and catching them before they

fell to the ground.

"Nicholas, are you all right?"

"How do you feel, Blake?"

"Wake up! Leo!"

The three so-called geniuses passed out when Darren attacked them. All the witnesses, however, were

astonished.

Moments after the fight ended, thunderous applause burst out from the audience. Those young

disciples were too shocked to speak. They had just witnessed a miracle, a legend.

What a powerful sword attack! The sword light of the Destructive Sword Attack stunned everyone to the

core.
