Darryl smiled when he saw the look on the Hexa Swordmaidens' faces. 'Those six women have been very bold and afraid of nothing. I bet they never thought the situation would take such a turn. I guess it was right to agree to teach Preston. At least I don't have to do anything in a situation like this.' He shook his head at Preston and hinted to him to stay put.
Subsequently, he slowly walked forward. When he was in front of the Hexa Swordmaidens, he looked at Lumi, then at Alora and the other sisters. He smiled and said, "You want to kill me, don't you? Why are you stopping now?"
The Hexa Swordmaidens were furious to see how pleasant Darryl was, but there was nothing they could do. No one dared to act recklessly when the Saber Saint was around.
"You—" The next second, Alora bit her lips and uttered a few words unwillingly, "Just kill us already."
The Saber Saint was keeping a close eye on them. They had no chance of attacking. It was better to die immediately rather than be humiliated by Darryl. Lumi and her sisters also closed their eyes reluctantly. They, like Alora, would rather die than be humiliated by Darryl.
'As expected of the Hexa Swordmaidens. Such stubborn characters.' Darryl smiled bitterly and said slowly, "It's easy to kill all of you. I just need to say the word, and this disciple of mine will just do it. But what happens after you die? Belladonna Palace will be in a terrible state."
Darryl's eyes appeared crafty. He had never considered killing the Hexa Swordmaidens but used the opportunity to tease them.
The Hexa Swordmaidens' bodies trembled when Darryl mentioned Belladonna Palace. 'What do you mean?' Alora asked. She was worried. They were devoted to the Belladonna Palace. The sect's reputation and safety were far more important than their own lives.
Darryl smiled lightly and continued to say, "My disciple has a lot of respect for me. He will never look away if you want to kill me right now. I am afraid he will just kill you all to vent his rage. He might even go to Belladonna Palace to look for trouble. I am sure you are aware of his reputation and power. Do you believe Belladonna Palace can defeat him if he decides to unleash his full potential?"
Alora and her sisters were stunned and turned pale. 'The Saber Saint is a strong man. Nobody had beaten him 20 years ago. His current power must be unfathomable. If he decides to exterminate Belladonna Palace, it will be a terrible day for Belladonna Palace because the Palace Master and thousands of elite disciples will be powerless to stop him.' The Hexa Swordmaidens' bodies shivered, and their faces looked terrible. They did not mind if they were to die there, but they could not accept it if Belladonna Palace had to suffer due to their actions.
They became nervous all of a sudden. Later, Alora struggled to keep her rage and insecurity at bay while looking at Darryl. "What do you want?" She was a wise woman. She knew Darryl must be up to something to threaten the safety of Belladonna Palace.
Darryl smiled as he examined Alora's curvy, alluring body. He said casually, "If you don't want to see Belladonna Palace destroyed, then act according to my signal. Don't let my disciple know the real relationship between us."
'What is he up to?' Alora was perplexed as she looked at her sisters. Darryl had already turned around and walked toward Preston as Alora was about to ask another question.
"Alright, put your sword away." When Darryl was near Preston, he said casually, "It's just a misunderstanding."
'Misunderstanding?' Preston was stunned. He scratched his head, feeling curious. "Master, those women said they want to kill you. How is that a misunderstanding?" He even glared at Alora and her sisters while talking.
From Preston's point of view, Darryl's attainment in swordsmanship had exceeded the god level. He could only admire the man. It was too outrageous for those women to challenge and even wanted to kill Darryl.
