Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1241

Upon hearing what Darren had said, everyone at the banquet felt offended.

This guy was simply too arrogant. He was challenged by a person from the upper-level of the Star God Realm, and yet he declared that he could defeat the person with a single hit. He was way over his head!

At the moment, the thousands of warriors present saw him in a bad light.

Meanwhile, his challenger's face had paled visibly.

"You'll pay for that arrogance of yours, kid!"

As the man said this, he threw a forceful punch directly at Darren. His fist glowed as it emanated a powerful god's power.

"Humph!"

Darren snorted in contempt. He had already activated his black god's power in secret. With his palm, he met the man's attack midway through.

The impact resulted to a loud sound.

The man's arm was left shattered by Darren's black god's power.

It broke not because of Darren's strength. It was because the black god's power was almost impossible to block. Likewise, it could break through anyone's defenses and take them by surprise.

The force of the impact didn't just break the man's arm. It had also hurled him into the air. With just a single hit, he had almost died.

Everyone fell silent upon seeing this display of power.

"Indeed, this young man possesses exceptional abilities!"

"Yes. It seems like he really has the strength of a warrior at the upper-level of the Star God Realm."

"He's a genius! An absolute genius!"

It didn't take long for the whole crowd to start buzzing with praises of Darren's strength.

Those who placed their bets on him were delighted to see his real strength. It seemed like they would be amassing great fortune this time.

"I don't believe it!" Suddenly, a voice cut through the palpable excitement in the crowd. It continued, "I think we're all being fooled here. He and that guy are probably just faking it."

"Really? Then tell us how they were acting," someone teased.

"The answer is simple. This man had deliberately asked someone at the upper-level of the Star God Realm to fight him and lose to him. In this way, he'll become famous. After all, is there anyone in this world who could defeat an opponent who is in a realm higher than them? This is why I don't buy it."

People began to discuss among themselves as soon as the stranger finished talking.

"If you don't believe it, then why not give it a try? Aren't you also at the upper-level of the Star God Realm?"

"I agree. Why not give it a try?" someone else taunted.

"That's exactly what I'm planning to do. I shall expose his true colors,"

the man said and then he turned to Darren. "So don't blame me if you get injured, brat. But first, take my blow!"

The man's face morphed into something ferocious as he suddenly lunged at Darren.

This time, Darren was in no hurry to dodge. He had a different plan in mind.

He would take advantage of the next attack by escaping and luring his opponent to a faraway place. He would then ask Kerr to attack him. In this way, it wouldn't be easy for other people to catch Kerr.

With that, Darren flew up into the air and headed straight towards the distant mountains.

"Look! He's finally running away." Darren's opponent was right on his tail as he flew.

"Is he really going to run away? Was he just fishing for fame all this time?"

"The kid is really running away! What now?"

"It's all your fault, Master Murphy. If you really wanted to show off your sect's power, you didn't have to resort to dirty and childish tricks."

Murphy tried to conceal his anger behind an impassive mask. "Nonsense. Why would we, the branch of the Starry Sword Sect, need to use tricks to show off our power? Everyone in the Primitive Wilderness already knew what the Lord Starry Sword is capable of. We don't need to show off. What a joke!"

"Then explain to us why the kid is trying to escape. Didn't you arrange the whole thing?"

"No, no. Look, Darren has stopped flying."
