Chapter 87 Reappearing Of Devouring Power
Suddenly, there was a loud sound, similar to that of cloth ripping.
The next moment, the Endless Flushing Strike of Lyndon was thoroughly ripped to shreds by Ricky's sharp claws, turning into the force of flushing tree.
Ricky bounced back into the arena. His strong intuition told him that obliterating Lyndon's Endless Flushing Strike wasn't going to be an easy task.
As expected, right as Ricky set foot in the arena, two Endless Flushing Strikes appeared suddenly at the same spot where Ricky had torn apart the first one. The power and strength of these two strikes were exactly the same as the first one.
"Just as I expected! This is why endless strike has its name!" Ricky murmured to himself.
"Good deflection, but it will be worthless when I'm finished with you!" Lyndon said coldly after Ricky managed to escape the strikes he hurled at him. Lyndon waved his saber, flinging two other Endless Flushing Strikes at Ricky.
Now that his method had been exposed, Lyndon decided to adopt a frontal attack. His speed would be so incredibly rapid that even warriors at the first grade of Blood Purification wouldn't have time to respond.
'I'll try using Five Beasts Arts again!'
Ricky thought to himself. He used both the tiger and deer cultivation methods of Five Beasts Arts to form two sharp claws, and then struck at the two Endless Flushing Strikes with all his might.
"Boom!"
The sound of this collision rang loudly. Ricky was able to smash the two Endless Flushing Strikes into piece, but his hands were now wounded and bleeding.
To make things worse, because of the presence of the force of flushing tree, the two Endless Flushing Strikes regenerated again rapidly.
Fortunately, the deer-imitating cultivation method of Five Beasts Arts could also be restored rapidly. Ricky retreated quickly, dodging yet another strike.
But deep inside, Ricky was growing more excited. He was now sure of one thing.
He had realized how to deal with the Endless Flushing Strike.
If someone with sharp eyes looked carefully, they would have determined that the force of flushing tree coming from Lyndon's hands was disintegrating rapidly because of Ricky's devouring runes.
'My devouring runes have been able to devour its force! If I kill Lyndon, I can tell the three demi- immortals of Shui Clan that it was an accident, ' Ricky thought to himself.
Then and there, he decided to kill the arrogant warrior.
Lyndon was indeed a genius. That was a fact which could not be contested. Ricky knew that if he let him go, it would be like returning captive tigers to the mountains. He would be haunted with endless troubles. Besides, Lyndon came from the family of Greenhill, which had two innate spirits.
Even if the two innate spirits of the family of Greenhill wanted to find him for killing Lyndon, how would they manage to do that in such a big, crowded world? What was more, Ricky knew the Snow Sect had his back. Based on the current conditions, Zenith wouldn't leave him alone to be killed.
...
"Go!"
Once he had made up his mind, Ricky no longer hesitated. With his eyes glowing, he gathered up the tiger power again and struck full force at Lyndon.
"What an arrogant bastard you are!" Lyndon shouted ferociously once he saw that Ricky still wouldn't give up. He waved his saber again, forming two Endless Flushing Strikes. Now, all together, there were four Endless Flushing Strikes, slashing towards Ricky from all directions.
But now, Ricky had sped up to the extremes of his capabilities. He let loose four tiger claws and aimed them directly at Lyndon's four Endless Flushing Strikes.
As expected, the four Endless Flushing Strikes were smashed instantly, and the number of wounds on Ricky's hands grew.
But Ricky didn't retreat this time. Instead, he rushed at Lyndon directly and threw a powerful punch.
"Go to hell!" Lyndon shouted ferociously at the sight of Ricky fighting back. In his head, he was imagining how he would cut up Ricky into pieces with his Endless Flushing Strike.
Lyndon was preparing to regenerate his Endless Flushing Strike.
But he was soon too stunned and frightened to do so.
Because now, he finally discovered that the force of flushing tree he released had now completely disappeared.
And it was too late for him to re-generate his strength anymore, because Ricky had now come upon him, his fist slamming heavily into Lyndon's chest.
Lyndon was seriously hurt.
Blood sprayed out from his mouth, as well as a couple of teeth. He fell heavily on the arena, and his eyes opened wide with shock. Before the disciples of the Shui Clan could react, Ricky drew his saber from the sheath on his back, jumped high in the air and aimed at Lyndon's body.
"Ricky, all of you are guests invited by our Shui Clan. Please don't kill anyone here!" A voice exclaimed in Ricky's mind, as an invisible force also stopped him from attacking.
'Oh, bother. It's still impossible for me to kill Lyndon in front of these demi-immortals, ' Ricky thought resignedly. He was not angry, just disappointed. He calmly returned his saber to its sheath on his back. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
The disciples around him finally reacted to what they had just seen. They looked with disbelief at Lyndon lying on the arena. They had viewed Lyndon as being the superior warrior from the moment he showed the power of his blood.
But for a moment, the situation had been totally turned on its head. How could they not be shocked?
"Sisters, did you see what I see? Ricky smashed Lyndon's force of flushing tree! But how?" The grandmaster of the Sage Faction asked in a low voice, after forbidding Ricky to kill Lyndon.
"I'm not exactly sure... But, it must have had something to do with the scarlet runic power!" The grandmasters of the Purity and Groom Faction replied.
"Yes, that must be an extraordinary manual. There's a possibility that Ricky is being mentored by one of the two casting masters in the Snow Sect," the grandmaster of the Sage Faction said.
"It seems that even if Ricky couldn't be an innate spirit, he can definitely be a casting master at Demi- spirit Level. So we should do our best to make a good impression on him. We should try to make him feel confident about our clan."
"Agreed."
...
"Kill me? How dare you try to kill me?" Lyndon growled at Ricky as he staggered up awkwardly. His arrogance and pride were totally shattered.
"Huh? Why shouldn't I? If it hadn't been for the wrong time and place, you wouldn't have been alive now, let alone shouting at me here!" Ricky replied disdainfully.
...
"How handsome Ricky is!" The adoring eyes of the disciples of the Shui Clan now all turned to Ricky, shining with admiration. As for Lyndon, now he was a good for nothing loser to them.
"Dora, it would seem to me that you're wrong about him this time," Agnes said with a smile.
"Humph!" Dora sneered, leaving hurriedly without casting a backward glance at Lyndon. Even though Lyndon was a genius from the innate spirit family, so what? Now that he failed, she was determined to never look at him again.
'Ricky! A disciple of the Snow Sect!' Dora mused to herself. There was neither a trace of hatred nor rage.
...
"Ugh! Go to hell!" Defeat had made Lyndon lose his head. Feeling like he had now nothing to lose, he directly gathered the force of flushing tree in his hands, re-generated his strength and then struck at Ricky.
But he was also stopped in his tracks by the grandmaster of the Sage Faction.
"Lyndon, you have lost. Please step down from the arena. It won't do you any good to continue fighting."
