Chapter 567 The Gale Torrent Strike (1/2)
Like an intricate dance, the ninety-nine green swords started to spin around inside the Star Moon Sword Array. Luna watched as the swords devoured the brimming energy in the air like a beast starved.
With every second that passed, they absorbed more and more force from the surroundings. There was no end to their hunger. The green swords grew sharper and bigger, as if to make room for the power collected.
Standing inside the mouth of the Star Moon Sword Array, Ricky felt a strong wave of murderous intent. He felt his skin prick with boundless icy rays.
'I regret agreeing with Luna's plan. This Star Moon Sword Array makes me feel threatened, ' Ricky thought to himself. His fingers clenched as he realized both his desperate situation and his resolve.
The die was cast. It was his own rotten luck that he managed to roll snake eyes. 'My immediate priority is to break through the Star Moon Sword Array, even if I have to fight my way out.'

”Ha-ha! Luna, thank you in advance. But I have the ability to break through this sword array,” Ricky said. Apparently, he was very confident of himself.
”You seem quite sure of yourself. Let's both save some breath and start our contest!” Luna growled. The rumbling in her throat echoed through the array as they glowed in time with her anger.
Like a foreboding heartbeat, Luna's body was enveloped by the same light. She controlled the enlightening power of the stars and moon. It surged up and spread across the air quickly in reaction to her call. The action was as easy as holding out one's own hand.
