The legendary warrior

Chapter 190 The Stepping Stone To Breakthrough

After Ricky finished his words, the prison made of Heaven Melting Fire in which the assassin of Bone Reinforcement was imprisoned disappeared.

Meanwhile, in that moment, this assassin of Bone Reinforcement finally reacted to the death of the demi-immortal assassin. He didn't become as useless as Caleb and Elvis, but his fierce eyes were also full of fear.

In spite of everything, he also feared death.

Nevertheless, he had behaved relatively well even though death was staring at him right in the face.

"What are you planning to do? Why did you release me from your prison instead of killing me right away?" The assassin asked in a low voice, clearly very confused of Ricky's behavior.

"You are indeed an assassin. Only assassins like you can be that calm in the face of death," Ricky said, somehow appreciating the assassin's nonchalant reaction.

"Calm, as assassins can be, you say? I just don't want to die in a pathetic way," the assassin of Bone Reinforcement said. "If I had the chance, I would definitely give you a fatal attack before I die."

"Very well then, I'll give you the chance." Ricky smiled.

"What do you mean? Are you serious?" the assassin of Bone Reinforcement asked doubtfully.

"If I'm not mistaken, you have just reached the first grade of Bone Reinforcement, right? Meanwhile, I've been stuck in the seventh grade of Blood Purification for a long time. Therefore, I want to use you as my stepping stone. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Ricky said, not beating around the bush.

Consequently, the assassin of Bone Reinforcement became extremely enraged upon hearing Ricky's words.

"Don't be so angry. You said that if you had the chance, you would give me a fatal attack. I just want to give you the chance. Whether you take it or not is up to you," Ricky said with a faint smile, "Perhaps you will thank me for this."

"How vicious you are!" the assassin said fiercely upon hearing Ricky's words.

"I'm not as vicious as you, Endless Shadow. In order to kill me, you went as far as to dispatch a demi- immortal warrior!" Ricky responded.

"Now, I will give you the chance to choose. If you choose to fight me, you may be able to give a fatal attack and kill me. Or you can just choose to die now and save me a lot of trouble."

"I choose to fight with you," the assassin said fiercely with madness in his eyes.

He was well aware that even if Ricky lost the fight, he still wouldn't be able to kill Ricky. He was just too strong. But as long as there was even the smallest chance, there was no way he would give up. He would do everything just to get back at Ricky, even if he had to die in the end.

In the next moment, strong power radiated from the assassin of Bone Reinforcement as he went straight to his limit. Then he drew his black sword out in a smooth move.

"I hope I can finally reach the eighth grade of Blood Purification after this fight," Ricky murmured, the power arising from his body.

"Shadowy Fatal Attack!"

Without hesitation, the assassin of Bone Reinforcement broke out his unique assassination skill, waved his black sword and lunged at Ricky.

"Five Beasts Arts!"

Not wasting a moment, Ricky activated his Five Beasts Arts, the cultivation method at the inferior stage of Black Level. His speed, strength and sensitivity were all intensified in an instant. He lifted his Iron Destroyer and leaped at the assassin of Bone Reinforcement.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal colliding rang through the air as Ricky and the assassin, together with their attacking powers, collided in a forceful crash. Fierce spiritual energies exploded in an instant.

Assassins were people living in the shadows and killing others secretly. This assassin of Bone Reinforcement was no different. Each move of his was quirky. It was very difficult for Ricky to see his sword track. The sword stabbed at the vital parts of Ricky's body again and again at an immense speed.

Fortunately, with the Five Beasts Arts, all of Ricky's skills had been greatly increased. Even though he couldn't see the sword track, he could feel every single move of it. He raised his saber to withstand each and every attack.

However, a warrior of Bone Reinforcement was still stronger than him. Even if he could defeat warriors Half-step to Bone Reinforcement, it was more than strenuous for him to fight with a warrior of Bone Reinforcement.

While Ricky was strong enough to withstand the collision, the rebound power from the sword sent intense painful vibrations into his body, leaving him wounded and bloody.

At that point, Ricky was on the verge of being defeated.

'Warriors of Blood Purification are indeed no match for warriors of Bone Reinforcement, ' Ricky thought. The situation he was in didn't come as a surprise to Ricky. If the assassin of Bone Reinforcement had been too weak, then he would not expect to reach Bone Reinforcement himself.

'The Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula!' Ricky roared in his mind. The blue lights shone brightly as his power broke out again.

At the same time, Ricky activated two powerful cultivation methods and the power of two flames, now giving it his all. Ricky was already at the limit of both his power and Blood Purification.

"Try again!" Raising the Iron Destroyer, Ricky once again collided with the assassin of Bone Reinforcement.

After he activated the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula, Ricky became almost invincible. This time, he did not suffer much damage every time he collided with his opponent.

The Devouring Fire together with the devouring cultivation method made the ultimate devouring power. The power of the assassin was devoured with ease.

The Iron Destroyer coated with the Heaven Melting Fire slashed the blades of rage continually, colliding directly with the assassin. This way, Ricky gradually reached the limit. He needed this to win.

Due to the brute force of Ricky's power, the assassin of Bone Reinforcement became completely overwhelmed for a while. He had several gashes on his body from Ricky's Iron Destroyer. However, since he was a Bone Reinforcement warrior, it only took the assassin a short period of time before he could compose himself once again. He regained his footing and fought with Ricky with immense strength and impeccable moves.

"Bam!" Another resounding sound rang in the air. Ricky was beaten hard and was thrown back a couple of feet.

The assassin of Bone Reinforcement saw this as his chance. He simultaneously broke out his power and attacked Ricky.

"Shadowy Darkness—Fatal Sword!"

Black power suddenly rose up in the air, circling the assassin of Bone Reinforcement. Except for his slightly bright eyes, his whole body looked like a black hole.

The black spiritual energy and the power of sword-light gathered, emerging with the assassin holding his sword.

At the moment, the stab of this assassin was really amazing. Of course there was still a great distance compared with the ultimate performance that worked one's sword in great harmony. But it could be regarded as a rarely seen stab of Bone Reinforcement.

Ricky felt himself filling up with dread as he felt the danger he was in. He knew that the assassin's move could prove to be fatal.

"My master, it's time for me to take action," Alva said, interrupting Ricky's thoughts.

However, Ricky refused Alva's help. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"Alva, this is exactly what I need. Only when I am in danger will I be able to push my power to the limit and finally reach the eighth grade of Blood Purification successfully. This way, I can also increase my fighting ability towards Bone Reinforcement. So thanks, but please don't do anything to help me now."

"But my master, you may not be able to withstand this move," Alva said in a worried tone.

"Set your heart at rest. I've activated the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula. I will not die here," Ricky said, comforting Alva.

"You can imprison him after this collision. Just remember not to hurt him yet."

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind." Alva decided to put his faith in Ricky. After all, in all the time he had known Ricky, Ricky had always found a way to do exactly as he said.

Later, when the assassin's fatal stab emerged from the shadow and the darkness, Ricky regenerated his power instantly and let out his strongest attack.

"Devouring Skill—Wrath Strike!" Ricky roared fiercely as he leaped up into the air.
