The legendary warrior

Chapter 147 A Fierce Duel

"He's finally started!" Catching a glimpse of Ricky, Kayla let out a sigh of relief.

Unconsciously, she had treated Ricky as someone she could depend on as their journey reached deeper inside this dangerous Earth Fire Place. For others Ricky was just a newcomer at the sixth grade of Blood Purification. However, she and Theo knew his real strength very well.

"I'll tell you the same thing you told us before. This is your chance to stay out of my way. Just break your own arms and leave, It would be less painful for you that way!" Ricky said wickedly as he wiped the blood from the saber blade with two fingers.

"Who the hell are you?" Kent roared, his expression turning fierce.

"Who am I? Don't you know me?" Ricky replied tauntingly.

"Can't you see that you're like a siskin and I'm a hunter? Sooner or later, you'll be caught by me, so if I were you, I'd surrender quickly now!"

"Go to hell!" Kent shouted, enraged after hearing Ricky's words.

Suddenly, his body started to vibrate, and a magnificent golden halberd flew out from behind him.

The golden halberd gleamed with spiritual energy as it released blinding bursts of light. It seemed as though it could cut Ricky into pieces in the blink of an eye.

Clang!

As Kent grasped the golden halberd in his hands, a resounding sound was heard all throughout the cave, signaling the start of the duel.

'There's no way this halberd is just a weapon in the intermediate stage of the Mortal Level. It's too strong for that, ' Ricky thought to himself upon feeling the immense spiritual energy and strong killing power coming from the halberd.

"It seems like the rumors are true. You might actually be a casting genius," Kent said coldly, the arrogance evident in his tone. "But this is no ordinary halberd. This belongs to the advanced stage of Mortal Level and has been passed down in my family from generation to generation. The Golden Killing Halberd, they call it. Consider yourself lucky if you get killed by a weapon as glorious as this."

"You think that scares me? Wish yourself luck. You're going to need it," Ricky sneered.

Without missing a beat, Ricky attacked and changed his body quickly. The flames of fire engulfed the Iron Destroyer as Ricky pointed his own weapon towards Kent. At the same time, he raised his left fist to punch Kent's chest with all his might.

Even though Kent was not yet in the ninth grade of Blood Purification, Ricky knew that he was still a lot stronger than his brother Karl who was also in the eighth grade of Blood Purification.

Therefore, Ricky was well aware that in order to win the duel, he had to do his best right from the beginning.

In challenging battles such as this one, the only way to win was by fighting offensively and taking the lead.

Bang! Kent was quick to put his golden halberd between Ricky's saber and himself, just as his other hand grabbed Ricky's fist.

"You might be a genius who can challenge people from higher levels, but you're in no way qualified to challenge me!" Karl said cruelly.

"But I don't think so!" replied Ricky even more cruelly.

As their weapons clashed together, the two of them were pushed back by the intense force from the collision. Kent was forced to retreat a few steps, and Ricky even farther, both of them heaving. In that moment, it seemed as though the outcome of the fight had already been determined.

'He does seem like a warrior in the ninth grade of Blood Purification. If I hadn't reached the sixth grade, and didn't have the Iron Destroyer of Demi-spirit Level, I would have died today already, ' Ricky thought to himself. Ricky knew that Kent was a vigorous opponent, and so despite the situation he was in, he couldn't help but feel even more dignified.

At least for the time being.

Karl's face looked grim as he thought, 'Is he really only in the sixth grade of Blood Purification? He's too strong to be in that level. Shouldn't men like him appear only in the Imperial Palace of Wildness?'

"Die! He must die! Otherwise, he'll destroy my clan in the future!"

Upon realizing this, Kent once again raised his golden killing spiritual energy.

"Roaring Wrath!"

Kent shouted ferociously. A golden spiritual energy surrounded him, making it seem as though he was wearing an armor of gold.

"That's a cultivation method to enhance the momentum and the spiritual energy!" Ricky muttered to himself. Responding quickly, Ricky's body turned green in an instant as he entered the Fourth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula.

"I'll kill you!" Ricky roared as he prepared to engage in a second round of battle.

At that moment, Ricky seemed to have forgotten all of his thoughts. All he wanted was to fight. Ever since he joined the Casting Guild, he had been focusing on learning all the casting skills for too long. Therefore, it had been a long time since he'd had a fight with someone. Today, he could finally have a good one with Kent.

"Go to hell!" Kent roared. His golden halberd crossed the sky towards where Ricky was standing.

Bang! Bang!

The sound of metal colliding resounded through the cave. It was almost difficult to see the two men fighting as the blinding sparks ignited.

The light of confrontation was engulfed the entirety of the cave. It seemed as if the cave would actually collapse from the massive force being exerted by the two opponents and their weapons.

Several clashes later, the two separated again, both of them breathing heavily.

Without missing a beat, both of them channeled their strongest cultivation method without any hesitation.

"Roaring Wrath---the halberd of roaring!"

Kent yelled. The light from the golden halberd surrounded him, and the roaring became almost deafening as the golden killing spiritual energy became more and more powerful. All of its power was concentrated in the golden halberd.

Suddenly, a shadow of a massive, magnificent beast appeared on the golden halberd and headed towards Ricky in an unstoppable momentum.

"Nonuple Flame Strike--the Seventh Strike!"

Ricky got up on his feet and jumped high up in the air. He waved out his Iron Destroyer to create seven flames directly towards Kent.

At that moment, everyone saw the seven scarlet flames. Devouring Fire, it was called.

Ricky did not dare to be the least bit careless while fighting a warrior who was close to the ninth grade of Blood Purification.

Boom!

In a crash, the two collided again. The forceful collision of the Iron Destroyer and the Golden Killing Halberd sent out intense manic waves.

However, it didn't last long. They just flew out of the waves and fell on the ground so hard that the two of them were sent rolling several feet away from each other.

Their clothes were torn and worn out and there was blood gushing out from the corner of their lips.

Both of their bodies were ridden with wounds. However, while Kent was bleeding all over, Ricky barely had any blood on him at all. Maybe this was the power of the Fourth-degree Body Refining Formula! Ricky was very lucky that he had the Fourth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula. Otherwise, there was no way he could have been able to survive the intense collision.

After all, there were too big a gap between him and Kent. He truly wasn't on his level yet.

"You're not dead!" Kent said ferociously upon seeing that Ricky was less injured than he was.

He then realized that Ricky's secret was in his cultivation method of body refining.

"You weren't listening to me earlier. I told you, you're a siskin and I'm a hunter. You're the one who deserves to die," Ricky replied with a devious smile playing on his lips as he wiped the blood off his

mouth.

"I don't think you can defeat me with your cultivation method of body refining. You think that's all it's going to take for you to defeat me? Your cultivation method of body refining? You'll have to do so much better than that!" Kent sneered. "Just wait, I'll break up your nonsense refinement cultivation method!"

""Well, I'd like to see you try!" Ricky said with confidence.

In that moment, he directly activated the Devouring Skill and controlled the devouring runes without hesitation.

"Golden Conqueror!"

Kent shouted. All the killing spiritual energy turned into spirals as it swept up into the air. In a smooth motion, he threw the Golden Killing Halberd into the spiral spirit.

In the next moments, magical changes began to take place. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
