"Isn't it true? Or Ricky, are you willing to share the Blood Beast King with them? I seriously doubt it,"
Edie asked Ricky with an amused smile on his face.
"You are such a smart guy. Just as you said, of course, I won't be willing to share with them." Ricky
smiled back with an equally amused grin, pleased that Edie seemed to know him well.
However, a question suddenly came to his mind. He asked Edie, "But I'm curious why the people of the
Five-element Sect would be involved in this matter of the Emperor Beast Swamp?"
"It is because the Red Potentate Roc tribe has monopolized the Blood Beast King for several eras, and
the other talents were naturally unwilling to accept it. That is why they decided to recruit talents from
other big forces to help them, even if it means they would get less than if they did it on their own.
Anyway, having little is better than nothing," Edie explained lengthily.
"The Five-element Sect is very close to the endless mountain in the East Land, so it's natural that
Sumner would invite geniuses from the Five-element Sect.
But, honestly, I'm not sure if Ashley and Raylan can defeat Lundy.
When push comes to shove, an ace genius is not that easy to deal with."
After that, with Winifred's blood essence as a guide, Ricky and his companions continued to look for
the relic.
"Flint took the other drop of blood essence with him when he left. And now, we have used this drop of
blood essence as a guide. We've run of our blood essence we brought with us. If we want to go out, we
have to grab more blood essence from the other warriors," Winifred remarked suddenly, looking a bit
worried but Ricky just smiled in return.
"You don't have to worry about that. I'm sure something will come our way," he assured her.
About seven days later, they finally found where the relic could be located. When they entered the
place, they found that it was the relic of a powerful warrior of the Red Potentate Roc tribe who was at
the Sage Level.
It was a blood-colored valley. The inheritance and strength of this Sage Level master from the Red
Potentate Roc tribe had turned into ten blood beasts, which looked exactly like the Red Potentate Roc.
Now, these ten blood beasts were not very strong, so the three of them subdued those them in just a
few minutes.
"I didn't expect to find a relic that belongs to a Red Potentate Roc tribe warrior. It's like fate is giving us
revenge against Lundy," Winifred said excitedly after they obtained ten blood beasts.
"With over twenty days to come, if we can find another relic, our journey here will be complete!"
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded. "Unfortunately, you won't have the chance."
Swish! Then, three people suddenly appeared in front of them.
Two of them were very familiar—Flint and Kirk.
"It's you two, Flint and Kirk," Edie said in a gloomy tone.
"Of course, it's us. We planned to help Grady collect the blood beast from this relic first and then go to
find you. But we didn't expect that you would come here yourself. You saved us a lot of trouble by
taking down the blood beasts and coming here of your own accord," Kirk said coldly.
At this moment, Kirk was eyeing Edie with a glacial expression, while Flint was glaring harshly at Ricky.
Meanwhile, the last young man with them was staring hungrily at Winifred as if she was a tasty morsel
he wanted to eat.
"Who is that young man?" Ricky asked through internal power.
Among the three, it was only the unknown young man who could pose a threat to him.
"He is Grady, Lundy's elder brother. He is also a genius and is as strong as Sumner. But he is such a
pervert, and I hate him very much," answered Winifred immediately, sounding annoyed at the young
man.
"Okay. I'll help you gouge out his eyes later." With those words, Ricky and Winifred shared a secret
smile.
Once Grady had his fill of devouring Winifred with his eyes, he turned to Ricky with exaggerated shock
and astonishment. "Wow! So this is the famous Ricky. They said that you were once an incredible
demi-spiritual emperor," he dramatically commented, eyeing Ricky up and down.
Undoubtedly, Flint had told everything he knew to Grady.
Ricky paid no attention to Grady and instead asked Winifred through telepathy, "You said that Grady
was Lundy's brother. In other words, if I kill him, Lundy will be heartbroken, right?"
"Of course. Although Lundy is arrogant and bossy, I am sure he sincerely cares for his brother,"
Winifred answered. "But do we really have to kill him? He is from the Red Potentate Roc tribe, after
all..."
"If we don't kill him, he will kill us. And as you said, Grady is a pervert. If you fall into his hands, what do
you think will happen?" Ricky said, intending to scare Winifred a little.
But he regretted it immediately when he saw the blood drain from her face. She was pale as a ghost,
genuinely terrified of a future with Grady.
Ricky had noticed from the start that Winifred was a kind-hearted person, even toward her enemy,
which might bring herself trouble in the martial world.
And as a friend, Ricky wanted to help her grow a backbone, and maybe help her harden her heart.
"You are really arrogant!" Grady said lightly after Ricky ignored him.
He was not angry, because, in his eyes, Ricky was already dead. As for the saying that Ricky was once
an incredible demi-spiritual emperor, he really didn't believe it.
On the other hand, Edie addressed Flint with a scowl.
"Flint, I didn't expect that you could be someone else's lackey. We, the Wind-Mountain Alliance, lost
face due to what you did. Even if I kill you now, there's nothing more our seniors can say to blame me
for killing you," he uttered in a hoarse voice.
He really didn't expect that Flint would dare to disregard their bloodline and plan to kill them. They were
once companions, after all.
"Humph! Edie, I have no other choice. You drove me away," sneered Flint. "But don't worry. You won't
die today because Lundy said he wanted to see you face to face."
"Damn you!" Flint's words seemed to have pushed some of Edie's buttons. He immediately got angry
and his killing intent for Flint increased infinitely.
"Ha-ha, are you getting angry?" Flint just laughed loudly.
"This Flint deserves to die!" Winifred also muttered under her breath.
"It seems that Flint knows some of Edie's secrets, and he must have told Lundy about it," the Dragon
Intent Grass guessed.
"That must be it. Otherwise, Edie wouldn't have shown such a strong killing intent to Flint in an instant,"
Ricky said and agreed.
"Kirk, you take care of this former incredible demi-spiritual emperor.
You have already failed in Edie's hands once. Don't let me down this time," Grady reminded Kirk lightly.
"Don't worry, Grady. I can defeat him in just three moves. It doesn't matter if he was once an incredible
demi-spiritual emperor or not! He is doomed, anyway!" Kirk boasted at once, glaring at Ricky with
murderous eyes. As his dark power surged around him like a wave, he appeared by Ricky's side.
But in the blink of an eye, Ricky disappeared from his eyes and reappeared behind him.
Ricky had exploded his Ancestral Thunder Mutant and Space-shrinking Pace, so how could Kirk catch
him?
"Ancestral Thunder Intent Formula!"
The moment the Thunder Light Blade was condensed, Ricky activated the Ancestral Thunder Intent
Formula and instantly expanded his body to about thirty feet tall. The Thunder Light Blade was
surrounded by the destructive power, and Ricky used it to cut Kirk's body in half.
Along with it, Kirk's soul was also cut in half.
Kirk died in the blink of an eye. He didn't feel any pain, and perhaps, he didn't even realize that he had
died.
This was Ricky's real strength.
A so-called genius like Kirk would die in Ricky's hands with only one strike.
Everyone was shocked by what they saw, including Edie, because he had never thought that Ricky
was this powerful.
