"If you don't leave them now, you're going to ruin yourself," Ricky muttered coldly.
Truth be told, Ivan didn't really care about Ellen and Tyler. It was his prestige he was worried about.
Their living or death would definitely have an effect on him. After all, Ellen and Tyler were members of
his team.
As for Ricky, he didn't want to waste his time on Ivan either. Beast Fire might not have been the lucky
chance he had been hoping for, but for his companions, it was something they once didn't even dream
of having.
Ricky would never let them give up the precious opportunity they'd been given all because of Ellen and
Tyler.
In hindsight, Ricky was also sure that Ivan and Andrew were growing more and more impatient at him
for assuming that Ivan only wanted to associate himself with Ricky in order to save face and not
actually because he was concerned of Ellen and Tyler's well-being.
Therefore, he knew that he must win soon.
There wasn't much Ellen and Tyler could do to threaten Ricky any further now, but Ricky was also well
aware that they might still cause trouble that would jeopardize him and his people.
"Ricky!" Ivan called insidiously. All he could think of now was how he could get Ricky out of his way. In
that moment, however, warriors flooded in. No less than two floors of the Ragged Iron Pagoda became
full of them at once.
If they had still been locked in a stalemate, they wouldn't even have been able to enter Ragged Iron
Pagoda, especially with Beast Fire.
Meanwhile, Ricky grinned at Ivan's exasperated expression for he knew, at that point, that he was
definitely going to win.
"Here is where you'll die, Ricky!" Ivan snorted as he took the lead to rush towards Ragged Iron Pagoda
with Andrew and Marcel on his heel. They had no choice but to compromise now.
Catching a glimpse of what was happening around them, Ellen and Tyler turned white as a sheet of
paper, both of them filling up with despair.
"Marcel, you truly are the biggest coward I've seen. You're even a coward in bed!" Going all out in the
face of death, Ellen cursed Marcel.
Marcel just ignored it, of course. Why would he be affected by some bitch's stupid words? Besides he
was far too focused on Beast Fire to think of some witty comeback.
"Theo, you guys go get Beast Fire now. Leave the rest to me!" Ricky said.
"Alright, Ricky. Hurry!" Pompeo nodded as he climbed quickly to the top of Ragged Iron Pagoda with
Aiden and Kayla in tow.
Theo, on the other hand, stayed still.
"Since you took your last release for granted, don't you dare blame me for my brutality now. I don't like
having trouble causers like you following behind my team!" Ricky said, walking over to where they
were.
"Huh! One day, Ricky, you will meet us again in hell! Neither the people here nor the members of the
Gu Clan will ever let you go!" Tyler shouted frantically as death came upon him.
"Good! At least you're braver now than you were last time," Ricky sneered.
Without saying anything else, Ricky took out the Iron Destroyer from behind him and forcefully slashed
Tyler's neck.
In that moment, two iron fans came flying across the sky towards Ellen and Tyler, and before any of
them could react, the iron fans gashed Ellen and Tyler's throats. Blood sprayed everywhere as the two
of them fell down, dead.
"Theo!" At the sight of the two iron fans, Ricky immediately knew that it was Theo's doing. He turned
his back to face Theo, and as he saw Theo's trembling hands, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
Ricky guessed that it was probably the first time Theo had ever killed people, but upon seeing the
determined look upon Theo's face, Ricky knew that something had finally changed within him.
"Ricky, it was I that once released Ellen and Tyler. Is it okay with you that I killed them?" Theo said,
forcing out a tight smile.
"Ha-ha. Why do you even have to ask that, Theo? Of course I don't mind." Ricky laughed. "We should
go. We're only wasting our time here. Let's enter the window of the Ragged Iron Pagoda before we
miss the chance of getting Beast Fire."
Ricky understood how Theo was feeling. It was only natural for him to feel scared now, but now that he
had taken the first step, Ricky was sure that he would feel better in the future.
In a dog-eat-dog world, only those with a decisive heart could ever survive. Although Ricky might have
been leading Theo in the wrong direction by encouraging him to kill people, it was the only way he
could help Theo survive.
An hour later, all the windows of all the floors of Ragged Iron Pagoda were taken up by warriors.
Warriors didn't make it inside the pagoda sighed helplessly, seeing others in the windows refine Beast
Fire.
Ah!
Then, they heard an abrupt screeching sound.
The warriors who had failed to refine Beast Fire were charred and burnt to death for all the other
warriors outside Ragged Iron Pagoda to see. It was indeed a cruel scene to witness.
Upon seeing this, many weak warriors felt no regret at all for not being there. They saw that even the
strongest of them might not be able to tame the Beast Fire, and all of their lives ended in a tragic death.
They asked themselves what would have happened to them if they had been there as well.
In the next hours, the eerie screech kept on and on and on.
Some, if not most warriors, even felt lucky that they weren't the ones who entered it.
Ricky, on the other hand, was in a window on the seventh floor in a small, crimson space.
In front of him was a flame coming from the Burning Ocher Beast Fire, which pervaded the shadow of a
mighty lion that time and again demonstrated its strength to Ricky.
This time, Ricky felt that the Fusion Fire, the combination of the Devouring Fire and the Heaven Melting
Fire, in his Chaotic Fire Zone could hardly wait to devour the flame of Beast Fire.
"I know you can't wait to devour it. Come out now!" Ricky muttered quietly.
With no time to waste, Ricky activated Chaotic Fire Skill right away in order to extract the Devouring
Fire from the Fusion Fire. Then, the Devouring Fire formed a circle above his arms as it rushed towards
the Burning Ocher Beast Fire.
At first, the Beast Fire threatened to burn Ricky to death. But the moment it was touched by the power
of Devouring Fire, the Burning Ocher Beast Fire suddenly lost his nerve and started sending a signal to
beg for Ricky's forgiveness, telling Ricky to spare him and let him be a part of his strength.
Despite the Beast Fire's pleas, Ricky just shook his head slightly, and immediately cast a bloody fire fist
that turned into an enormous mouth which swallowed the Burning Ocher Beast Fire whole.
Afterwards, Ricky felt the energy flow from the force of the Burning Ocher Beast Fire blending with the
Devouring Fire. He felt the power of the Devouring Fire growing stronger, slowly but surely.
"I knew it. Devouring Beast Fire is the most efficient way to make my Devouring Fire even stronger,"
Ricky said to himself, "If I can devour each and every Beast Fire in Ragged Iron Pagoda, then
Devouring Fire, Heaven Melting Fire together with Chaotic Fire Skill will be my aces in the
hole."
