CHAPTER 485 AN IMPASSE
''I will not kill myself. If you want me to die, you'll have to take my life all by yourself!'' Ricky said evenly,
gathering up his nerve to fight.
The unlucky situation kind of depressed him, but Ricky was never the kind of person to compromise
easily, even if the enemy was much more powerful than him. He would never yield to the young master
of Heaven Palace because there was still some possibility of defeating him left.
''Ha-ha, you make me laugh. Considering the fact that your spiritual king beast is not here, you have a
lot of nerve trying to fight with me. After all, the title of peerless genius cannot help you now.'' The
young master of the Heaven Palace opened his fan and began to rush toward Ricky.
Soar was not there, so he could safely act arrogant again.
Boom! With those words, he launched his attack by using the Cloud Enlightenment. The white cloud of
spiritual energy enveloped his fan and it transformed into a cloud blade that struck Ricky fiercely.
That move was just his most tentative attack though.
His apex power was equal to a second-class lower spiritual king, while Ricky was a third-class lower
spiritual king. The disparity of their power did exist. The young master intended to humiliate and torture
Ricky before killing him.
Seeing that the young master did not use his full power, Ricky immediately figured out his intentions.
It was understandable that many arrogant geniuses like the young master were morbid bigots who liked
to humiliate and torture the warriors inferior to them, especially the ones that they detested.
In that case, he would let his guard down, which would give Ricky the chance to escape.
Buzz! Ricky did not underestimate his enemy though. As he activated the Nine-degree Body Refining
Formula and massacring runes, he merged the two powers and instilled all the power into his crossed
arms.
Just after Ricky made that defensive move, the young master's attack arrived and clashed with the
defensive energy in Ricky's arms.
Clang! A clear sound echoed across the sky as the cloud blade beat Ricky's body back.
Under his ripped clothes, Ricky's arms were only slightly injured. Two shallow slashes were the only
injuries he received.
Ricky fought back after he regained his balance.
He used his merging power again and summoned ten golden lights behind his body.
''Massacring Omnipotent Skill—The Impregnable Killing Finger!" Ricky let out a roar, his eyes shining
with confidence.
Wreathed in the massacring runes, the ten golden lights were transformed into ten giant golden fingers.
They then flew at the young master from ten different directions.
"Go to hell!" Seeing that Ricky had successfully warded off his attacks and was able to promptly strike
back, the young master was quite annoyed.
''Cloud Power—Blade Scattering Skill!''
The young master instantly launched another fierce attack in a roar. Jumping up, he wielded his fan in
order to make his spiritual energy merge with the immense Cloud Enlightenment.
In the next moment, tenfold cloud blades were formed, then they scattered to collide with the
Impregnable Killing Finger attack. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
''Flame Omnipotent Skill—Flame Torrent!''
Meanwhile, the runic power on Ricky's body was also transformed into the Flame Torrent.
''How can you simultaneously cultivate two different types of strength?'' Seeing that Ricky could release
two different Omnipotent Skills, the young master grew even more envious. Being a peerless genius
was already something that was enviable, but Ricky could also grasp two different kinds of strengths.
While Ricky's talents did surprise him, the young master was still confident that Ricky was no match for
him. The large disparity in their strength meant that Ricky had no chance of winning no matter how
many moves he had in his repertoire.
The fact that Ricky's Impregnable Killing Finger attack was quickly dispelled by the cloud blades was
the best evidence of that.
Suddenly, the Flame Torrent attack seized that moment to steal through the cloud blades and made it
to the gateway.
It was never Ricky's plan to tangle with the young master using the Flame Torrent. Instead, he tried to
escape when the clash happened.
It all happened in a flash, and Ricky had already arrived at the gateway by using the Flame Torrent.
However, things did not go the way he had hoped. Before he could make it out, the gateway was
suddenly sealed up by the omnipresent cloud blades.
''Is this even possible?'' Ricky asked in disbelief.
In order to dodge the cloud blades, he had to manipulate the Flame Torrent and use it to fall back. That
made it impossible for him to escape because the young master had intercepted him.
As the Flame Torrent dispersed, Ricky's figure showed up again.
''Escape is impossible for you now, Ricky. Do you really think that I'm foolish enough to give you a
chance to escape?'' The young master was satisfied with Ricky's startled expression and continued to
sneer at him smugly.
''My Blade Scattering Skill is more powerful than you can possibly imagine.''
Ricky soon calmed down and accepted the fact that he could not escape at that point.
He came to realize that he had underestimated the young master. His opponent also possessed some
extraordinary abilities of a completed spiritual king.
'If I activate the Blood Vitality Devouring Skill and the enlightening power in the three zones, he might
not be able to resist all of them. It might be worth a try, ' Ricky silently thought to himself.
Faced with such an impasse, he still tried hard to find the silver lining in things.
''You could have lived for a few more seconds, but I've changed my mind now. I have to admit that you
are qualified to be a peerless genius. So, I will spare no effort when I kill you in my next move.'' The
young master had grown more cautious, and decided to take Ricky down once for all.
Ricky's unpredictable power had surprised him.
For example, Ricky was able to merge with the Flame Torrent, which was a power beyond his
comprehension.
As a young master, he had gone through many crucial battles. Behind his ignorant exterior, he was
cautious and careful on the inside. To avoid any accidents, he decided to immediately kill Ricky.
In that case, he would not be able to enjoy the process of playing with him and watching Ricky beg for
his life. He could still get a lot of pleasure from strangling a peerless genius in his cradle.
''Cloud Enlightenment—Cloud Fettering Claw!''
In the next moment, the young master manipulate the immense Cloud Enlightenment and transformed
it into a giant white claw. He tried to tear Ricky apart with its fierce fettering power.
''Blood Vitality Devouring Skill!'' Ricky had already prepared to put up a desperate fight.
Boom! Boom!
With the pumping of his enlightening power, the enlightening vortex in the sky suddenly created a
space rift above the area.
The magnetic force of the space rift was extremely powerful.
Ricky, the young master and the two maids were all absorbed into the space rift then.
''What the hell?'' Ricky blurted out in astonishment. He thought that the enlightening vortex and space
rift could not coexist.
''Young master, please help us!'' The two maids screamed in unison.
