Nobilis of War

Chapter 279 Unexplainable Situation (Part One)

As the atmosphere of fear intensified among the crowd, Lenny, the young man who had killed the

suspicious evil cultivator stepped forward and said, "They seemed to have been attacked and killed by

some kind of fierce animal. Don't frighten yourself!"

All of a sudden, the air stirred violently, generating a loud noise.

A shadow leaped out of nowhere. It flashed by like lightning and struck Lenny from behind. The force

from the hit was so powerful that Lenny was thrown out from the crowd. He fell onto the ground,

spewing out a mouthful of blood.

"Darren! It's you! How dare you attack me in such a shamefully sneaky way?" Lenny staggered up to

his feet, his eyes full of fury and resentment.

Everybody suddenly felt confused at this unexpected situation. Although Lenny had always had a rude

habit of speaking ill-mannered words in the most inappropriate circumstances, what he said just a while

ago was not very offensive so as to warrant such a rough lesson from Darren. Everyone was

wondering what Darren's reason for attacking Lenny was.

Darren stayed quiet and stood there, cold eyes fixed on Lenny, watching his every move.

"So what Robb said about you is true! The real Darren is dead! This man standing in front of us is the

one controlled by the evil cultivator! The evil cultivator has taken over his body! The Darren we know is

dead!" Lenny slowly inched back in terror. He looked as if he had seen a ghost, or something worse.

All the superior talents also started retreating upon hearing Lenny's words. They all wanted to keep

their distance from the seemingly evil Darren.

"Now you're trying to frame me, right?" uttered Darren coldly. Judging from Lenny's behavior, Darren

was quite certain that there was something wrong with him. He was definitely behaving strangely.

"Stop telling lies in front of us. Tell us, why are you still able to move so fast when all of our energies

are suppressed?

Even if your explanation for your uninhibited speed holds water, how were you able to survive and

escape from the monstrous creature? The only explanation is that you're good at using the invisibility

skill! You made yourself invisible so that the monstrous creature wouldn't find you. I'm guessing that

was how you survived and escaped, right? Well, only evil cultivators are able to do that. So tell us, are

my words true? Unveil your true form, you evil cultivator!"

Lenny's words sounded reasonable in everyone's ears. They were nearly convinced that this Darren in

front of them was the evil cultivator, concealing himself in Darren's shell.

"What's your explanation, Darren?" Robb approached Darren, but his eyes were also full of wariness.

Darren furrowed his brows. He did not expect that Lenny was so good at fabricating lies. Now, he was

so suspicious in everyone's eyes.

Darren had a justified explanation for his fast movement. He could use the Wind Rule to form

propellers made out of air that made him move as fast as lightning. He was able to move fast because This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

he had grasped the essence of the Wind Rule, where instead of using his internal energy, he made use

of external forces. That was the reason why he was able to move fast under the spell of suppression.

But as to how he escaped from the Water Kylin, it would be a bit harder to explain.

Darren remained silent, still finding the right words to say. All the other people turned increasingly wary

at his hesitation, taking it as a sign of his guilt. Some even had their weapons at the ready in their

hands, fully prepared to defend themselves if Darren suddenly decided to take action.

"How do you know that evil cultivator is good at using the invisibility skill? Mr. Brian You didn't mention

anything about it when he talked to us using his long-distance voice transmitting skill." Darren looked

straight into Lenny's eyes as he finally spoke, sharply pointing out the flawed and suspicious logic in

the latter's words.

The statement Darren aired out also sounded reasonable that all the people were starting to get

suspicious of Lenny too. They were at such a loss on whom to believe—Darren or Lenny.

Lenny's face froze at Darren's words. He sank into a long silence, then he angrily retorted, "It was just

a guess. It's common sense, you idiot. Even ordinary people can guess that. I have nothing to explain."

"That's right. You don't have to explain it." Darren didn't want to waste time in arguing with him. The

only way to prove Lenny's lies and unveil his hypocrisy was to kill him and expose the existence of the

evil cultivator to everyone.

Without any warning, Darren launched his attack.

He darted directly towards Lenny, pointing his sword at his enemy's throat.

"Help me, everybody! The evil cultivator is going to kill me!" shouted Lenny, a cunning look glinting in

his eyes.

There was a strong gush of wind as several superior talents leaped towards Darren.

Upon hearing Lenny's words, they all simultaneously charged at Darren to ward off his sword.

The superior talents stood between Darren and Lenny to keep Darren from attacking Lenny any further.

Although Darren could run fast, it would still be next to impossible for him to get through all the warriors

and take Lenny's life without any obstacles. The talents were all either at the fourth or the fifth stage of

the Spirit Realm and thus were all incredibly strong. Darren, on the other hand, was just at the

preliminary stage of the Spirit Realm in this world. He was by no means their match.

However, Darren was not one to give up so easily in front of strong opponents; he did not waver. He

used both his sword and blade to launch ceaseless attacks at Lenny from every possible direction.

After launching his attack, he found, to his dismay, that he was unsuccessful in killing his target as

there were so many people protecting him. It wasn't long before another group of people joined the

fight. The first group protected Lenny while the second attacked Darren. Gradually, more and more

superior talents joined the fight on Lenny's side. Only Robb and Tom were left standing to watch the

two sides battle each other.
