Chapter 1396 The Appearance Of The Leader

Whether it would work or not did not matter, and Darren had to take the chance and at least give it a

try.

"Have a look at this, you little bastard," Darren yelled.

He then pulled out the colorful flag and waved it around for all to see.

"Woo, woo, woo!"

The black cat sprang up as if his tail had been stepped on, hissing with the hair on his back standing

straight up.

This reaction gave Darren a little more confidence. The cat's fear of the flag was quite obvious now.

"Don't act so slick, brat. Get rid of that flag and let's have a fair duel!"

Puff!

Darren couldn't help but laugh.

'You're as powerful as the five-clawed golden dragon. What sort of fair duel could we possibly have?'

he thought to himself, incredulous at this request.

"Could you be more ridiculous? Have you tried?" Darren said with contempt and mockery, feigning his

true nervousness at the gap in their power.

The black cat hissed again and revealed his claws, scratching five deep slashes into the ground and

staring fiercely at Darren.

"Are you not aware of the rules? If I were to fight you, my strength would be suppressed to the level

that is a third more than your own. Do you really want to cheat and use that flag? Even if you were to

win with it, you won't be able to reach the space of inheritance," said the black cat coldly.

"Ha-ha," Darren chuckled disdainfully. "If you're so afraid, why not just admit defeat right now? That

way, your life will be spared."

He did not believe that the cat's strength would be suppressed. He would not allow himself to believe it.

"Everyone, someone wants to be a cheater. Come out and kill him!"

growled the black cat, baring his teeth.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The other eleven beasts leapt down from the walls and circled Darren, surrounding him entirely. He had

no escape except through them by force.

Darren took a quick glance around and found that these strange looking beasts all seemed to be even

more powerful than the black cat. This was now getting to be a little more than he had bargained for.

"Put the flag down and fight fairly with the cat. Do as we say, or we will be forced to rip you to shreds,"

yelled one of the Archean beasts in a hoarse and flat voice.

"Damn you!" Darren yelled back, glaring at the beast. "Tear me apart if you can, but don't try to coax

me like a child!"

"Your stubbornness knows no bounds! Go to hell then!"

Roar! Roar! Roar!

All twelve Archean beasts roared at once. The force of their resonating roars almost shattered Darren

to pieces.

Immediately, Darren infused his god's sense into the colorful flag and abruptly waved it around in

retaliation.

A peculiar force was thrown out of it,

suddenly decreasing the twelve streams of fierce pressure.

To Darren's disappointment, however, the colorful flag appeared to have only weakened the

momentum of the roars by less than half. This meant only half of their strength was suppressed as well.

That was far less than enough.

The twelve beasts surrounding him were so powerful that even with only half of their fighting power,

any one of them could kill Darren and the dragon ancestor with a single move.

"Brat, I thought I was clear about you cheating. It is a rule set by our master and is not to be

disobeyed,' revealed the black cat with a wicked grin.

"Guys, tear him apart!" he commanded the other beasts.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

They pounced on Darren all at once.

Bang!

Crack!

They did not kill Darren immediately, as they could have, but toyed with him instead, beating him and

kicking him back and forth between themselves.

"Hum!"

The roar of a powerful dragon then shook the hall.

"How dare you bully the patriarch of the Chu Clan right in front of me? You dare act as though I am not

even here?"

It was the five-clawed golden dragon who spoke with such strength and stature. His body shone with

blinding golden light that rendered everyone unable to open their eyes.

A yellow gold aura of the dragon blood spurted out of the golden dragon's mouth and struck the eleven

beasts. It hit them hard and sent them flying off into the wall with a heavy slam.

All eleven beasts spat blood after taking the blow; it was a serious hit.

This allowed Darren to finally catch his breath.

'Damn it. It's not as effective as I would have hoped,' Darren cursed. 'Perhaps the black cat really will

suppress his strength to fight me if I don't use the flag, just as he said he would.'

"Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong. You may regret it," one of the beasts said to the golden

dragon. "Looks like there'll be two dragons for our dinner tonight. I'm sure you don't know how much

my buddies and I love dragon meat."

The beasts got to their feet again, not discouraged by the hit they had taken.

"You want to eat me? You're vastly overestimating yourselves!" bellowed the golden dragon, raising his

head arrogantly.

"Attack!"

All the beasts rushed over and attacked the golden dragon wildly with their massive claws.

Sweep!

A strong aura of the dragon blood gathered at the golden dragon's tail. He was confident that a blow

with this would be enough to smash several beasts. Half of their strength had been suppressed after

all.

Crack!

A one thousand feet thick red divine thunder fell from the sky and crashed into the golden dragon.

His body immediately stiffened and shuddered, electricity charging through his veins and causing the

attacking power he had accumulated to vanish.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The twelve beasts, however, were unaffected by the divine thunder and they all pounced on the golden

dragon and beat him violently.

It was not long before the golden dragon was severely mutilated, almost beyond recognition.

Darren's heart began to quicken at the sight of this. He now saw how bad a spot he was in. If even the

golden dragon had been defeated, what chance did he have?

"I apologize to you all. I was wrong and out of line," the golden dragon said meekly.

Both the dragon ancestor and Darren were stunned. They had never imagined that the golden dragon

would be beaten to the point of begging for mercy. It seemed he was more spineless than they had

thought.

"We'll roast you and enjoy your meat later," one of the beasts said before they took off. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

The twelve beasts flew back to land in front of Darren once more.

"Not bad, your power is truly quite impressive," said Darren, cupping his hands. "It seems that it is time

for a fair battle," he added,

putting the colorful flag away.

"Fool! You have already broken the rules. It's too late for you to come back from that," sneered the

black cat.

"But you never said what the rules were," Darren said innocently.

"Cut the crap. Cat, kill him."

"As you say."

The black cat strode over slowly towards Darren, one step at a time.

"Let me see who dares lay a finger on Darren,"

echoed a cold voice throughout the hall, just in the nick of time.

Dozens of figures then appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

"What are you doing here?"

Darren looked over to see that the new arrivals were Weber and his friends.

He had worried that Weber, Finley and the others would be killed by the black dog and now wondered

how they had so suddenly come here to the hall.

"Darren, are you okay?"

Weber asked as he and the others flew over.

The first thing Darren noticed was that Weber's cloak had been changed to one made of black dog fur.

"You killed the black dog?" Darren asked in surprise.

"Well, of course we were not capable of that. We had the help of a powerful master," Weber replied

with a smile.

"Your master and the other great masters have been freed from danger?" Darren was overjoyed, this

was fantastic news.

"No, they have not, unfortunately. It was just our beloved turtle man who stood up and came to our aid.

If it weren't for him, we would surely have been swallowed by the black dog." Weber looked back over

his shoulder with admiration filling his eyes as he spoke.

The crowd separated to make a path, and a lame turtle slowly crawled through the middle.

It was the old lame turtle!

On the back of the lame turtle was Jeremy jumping happily.

This confused Darren. How had the lame turtle, a battle beast in the first space, come here?

Not just that, it was the lame turtle who had helped his friends take care of the black dog and rescued

them from harm. But how could he fight here?

"Roar!"

"Aooo! Aooo!"

"Ah!"

The twelve beasts behind Darren suddenly roared and howled furiously, clearly roused by something.

Their powerful, vicious roars sent Darren flying through the air.

Fortunately, Weber and the others reacted quickly and caught him before any real damage was done.

After the explosion of roars, the twelve beasts and Darren's companions all quieted down and the

entire hall fell dead silent.

The lame turtle continued crawling slowly, finally stopping before the beasts.

A stalemate seemed to have been reached between both sides, each standing on opposite ends,

staring each other down like resolute statues.

The black cat was the first to make a move and end the painfully long pause.

He moved so fast that one could not even see what had happened. He had hurled himself at the lame

turtle.

This was a worrying sight for Darren. Would this lame turtle be a match for these twelve fierce beasts?

"Boss, you have finally returned, I have missed you so much."

To the astonishment of both Darren and his companions, the black cat had stopped by the turtle's side

and grasped his front foot gently, wailing and whining as he groveled.
