Chapter 28 As Easy As Crushing Dry Weeds and Smashing Rotten Wood (2/2)
n them.
In a flash, a loud hum produced by the friction between fist and air boomed, the four minions collapsing in succession. Their chests had all been smashed brutally by Ricky's fists, only their stunned eyes left open.
Ricky turned around slowly and shook away the flesh and blood on his fists. ”Hey, it seems your minions are very weak!” Ricky said with a grin.
”Impossible! !” Finn and Waylon said with trembling voices, both aghast in shock.
'Four warriors at their seventh grade of Skin Refinement could not even resist his attack and were slain all at once. Could we stand a chance of winning against him?' Finn and Waylon wondered.
Heather was also stunned.
”So now, I'm offering you another chance. Give me all the black dots, and I will consider staying out of this and letting you get away with it!” Ricky grinned mockingly as he turned to face them.
But Finn and Waylon chose to answer him with saber and sword.
Finn raised his saber and swung it at Ricky from one side. The saber in his hand vibrated as it gathered the power of water elementals. Meanwhile, Waylon had unsheathed his sword, thrusting at Ricky from a tricky angle, which was difficult to dodge. The strike was meant to put Ricky at a fatal position.
All of a sudden, Ricky sensed a great wave of pressure speeding towards him. He could smell the danger.
'Warriors at the eighth grade of Skin Refinement are truly different. Warriors at the seventh grade can't even compare with them, ' Ricky thought, feeling the pressure surging through his body.
But he didn't hesitate a second longer. He drew his saber from the sheath on his back, the spiritual energy transforming into flame elementals.
Suddenly, he realized that Heather was no longer reeling from the shock. She stood right in front of Waylon, and was preparing to battle him.
”Ricky, I'll deal with Waylon. And you can take on Finn!” she shouted. She concentrated all her power on the sword, piercing Waylon with an explosive force.
”Ha-ha, thank you so much, beautiful! I'll help you out as soon as I slay this brute!” Ricky laughed, focusing on Finn now.
Blood rushed onto Heather's cheeks as she heard Ricky calling her beautiful.
”Slay me? Listen, you're in way over your head, chump!” Finn snorted in disdain as he gathered power onto his saber, his face growing bitterly scornful.
”I'll teach you how to use a saber!”
Ricky was annoyed at hearing his words. Wielding his saber encapsulated in flame elements, he slashed directly at Finn's saber in a furious blow.
”Clang!”
In the span of a few minutes, their sabers had crashed with each other dozens of times, sparks flying in flashes.
Finally, with the power he cultivated from the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula, Ricky knocked Finn back as easy as blowing away dust. Finn's body flew backwards into the swamp, his hands bleeding with wounds.
”You bastard! Go to hell!” Finn shouted, the extreme anger apparent on his face.
”Water Strike!”
Finn jumped up in a flash, growling like a wild beast. He wielded his saber, all the spiritual energy in his body turning into the shape of water mustering a whirling pearly spray, as if he was channeling a boundless ocean.
Whirling the saber, he raised it high and aimed directly at Ricky with furious power as water whirled back and forth on his blade.
”Is that all you've got?”
Ricky certainly didn't want to accept inferiority. He wielded the blade around his head, and immediately the burning flames broke their way right through the blade and rushed towards Finn.
The first flame fended off Finn's blow, the next crushed through his defense, and the last strike slashed deep into Finn's chest with intense power.
