CHAPTER 586 A WARRIOR WITH THE SANDY MUTANT

Boom! Boom! Boom! Justin roared and erupted in a blinding flash of light. His eyes glowed white as he

slowly rose from the shattered remnants of his Ultimate Ice Domains. He wiped the blood from his nose Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

and mouth with the back of his hand, leaving a little crimson trail on the side of his face. Justin looked

even more terrifying now than when he was wielding the power of ice and thunder. He looked like he

was ready to exact horrible vengeance.

Ricky and Soar stood frozen and stared in mixed awe and horror. How could Justin possibly summon a

new power after Terrence sent him crashing?

It was at that moment that they noticed Justin's lips. They were moving like he was chewing something.

Whatever was in his mouth must be the source of his new power.

'He has taken some pill to enhance his strength, ' Ricky and Soar thought at the same time. Ricky and

Soar exchanged looks. They were thinking the same thing.

...

Terrence charged at Justin with his bloody red sword. Then, a loud, crashing sound shook the room.

Once again, Justin had summoned his double enlightening powers and turned it into a big shield.

Terrence's bloody red sword crashed against it, but this time, Justin was able to stop his blow.

The impact was so strong that Terrence was knocked right back to his human form.

The clash had an equally terrible effect on Justin, too. And like a candle in the wind, Justin's new power

got snuffed out. His light went as fast as it came. In a heartbeat, Justin was back to being the defeated.

He sank to his knees. The power from the pill he took was only designed to fend off one last strike from

Terrence, not to win the battle.

"It's over for Justin now," Ricky told Soar through their telepathic link. They both breathed a sigh of

relief.

The moment Justin went down on his knees, warriors from the Bing Clan, including Louie, Casado, and

Kevin all came rushing to his aid. They drew their weapons and surrounded Justin protectively. They

would die before allowing Terrence to touch him again.

They were all young masters of the Bing Clan, but Justin was of a much higher position and was more

important to the clan than they were. They were at Justin's service and if that meant dying to protect

him, they would be more than happy to oblige.

"Would you like to take your own life? Or would you like me to do it for you, Justin?" Terrence asked

coldly as he slowly descended. He had already recovered from the final strike and could launch

another attack soon. It was true that Terrence looked down upon someone like Justin, but today Justin

had proved that he was indeed a genius with his powers. Terrence was willing to leave him with the

option to finish himself as he was able to earn his respect.

"Seriously? You really think you can kill me?" Justin asked condescendingly, mustering all that was left

of his strength. He tried hard to rise to his feet as he continued to challenge Terrence.

Ricky, Soar, and Madeline were rather surprised by Justin's words. They looked at one another with

confusion before turning back to observe Justin, waiting to see what he would do next. The genius from

the Bing Clan was now looking at Ricky and his companions with hatred and disdain.

"Oh, how very interesting! Do you mean you have other tricks up your sleeve? Or are you merely

threatening us with the formidable reputation of your clan?" Ricky asked, stepping forward.

"The name of our clan might be able to intimidate you all, but it won't change the fact that I just lost this

fight," Justin answered. Surprisingly, he was quite sensible under the circumstances and did not go

mad when Ricky tried to tease him. Even though he found it hard to accept, he did not lose his mind

because of his failure.

"Seems that you can live up to being the Bing Clan's genius by handling your defeat well," Ricky said

with a hint of appreciation. "But I do wonder what your next plan is. You see, the odds are against you

now."

"Oh, they are, but you can be sure that the last trick I got up my sleeve won't disappoint you, for it will

kill every one of you," Justin replied in a menacing tone.

Justin looked into the distance and then bellowed, "What are you waiting for, Henry? Are you going to

play in that Virulent Sand Flow for your entire life?"

Ricky and the others followed Justin's gaze to the Virulent Sand Flow not far from where they were

standing.

Bang! Before Justin's voice faded into space, Ricky and the others saw a stream of the poisonous sand

shoot up into the air and form a tidal wave of wet, toxic sand. It was as deadly as it looked, fatal to

every living thing on the Vitality Land.

Then, they saw a human figure at the top of the wave, riding the toxic tide that was coming straight for

them.

"Impossible. Humans can't survive the Virulent Sand Flow, let alone summon it into a wave and ride it,"

Terrence exclaimed. Ricky, Soar, and Madeline were in utter disbelief as well.

It was just incredible that a human warrior could get out of the poisonous sand unscathed. Not only

that, he still looked fairly powerful like the sand did not have any impact on him at all.

Without a doubt, this man was a big threat. Terrence, Ricky, Soar, and Madeline put on a grave

expression at once. It was needless to say that only an extremely strong warrior could survive the

Virulent Sand Flow, so Ricky knew instantly what was coming at them.

"Didn't you say that only the ruin beasts could walk on that bloody sand freely? What is this now?" Soar

asked through their telepathic link, panicking.

"I did, but there are other things that could," Terrence answered. Then, his face suddenly lit up. Soar's

question reminded him of something.

"What other things?" Ricky asked.

"There is another kind of creature that could move freely on that kind of virulent sand and could even

use it as a sort of cultivating resource—the creatures with the Sandy Mutant," Terrence revealed.

"So, I bet this man has this legendary mutant. That would explain everything."

"Sandy Mutant!" Ricky, Soar, and Madeline repeated altogether. They had never heard about this kind

of mutant, but now they knew how amazing it might be to have it.

Whoosh!

The figure on the toxic tide came faster than they had imagined. In the blink of an eye, the tide was at

Justin's side.

Terrence, Ricky, Soar, and Madeline could now see the figure closely. He was wearing a set of reddish

yellow body suit stained with virulent sand all over, which didn't seem to bother him in the slightest. He

stood and moved calmly and agilely. He turned out to be a plain-looking young man. Although he was

coming for a fight, there was a hint of a smile on his lips, which made him look like a rather mild person.

What was more, unlike many other warriors on the battleground, no violent energy could be felt from

him as if he was not a warrior at all.

"At your service, young master," the young man called Henry Chen said with respect after shaking off

the remaining sand on his suit.

"Now it's time to deliver on the promise you made. I want you to kill them, all of them, now," Justin

ordered through clenched teeth. He just could not wait to see his enemies' dead bodies.

"No problem, but let me just remind you that this is already your second request," Henry Chen

answered. He did not seem annoyed at all when Justin was treating him like a lowly servant. There was

always a mild smile on his face.

"Yes, I know. You don't have to tell me that," Justin snapped.

One could tell from Justin's tone that he did not quite like Henry Chen, but obviously, he could only rely

on him to win the fight at the time being, so he had to bear with him.

'The second request? So there are some terms and conditions between them? Looks like Henry is not

one of them. There might be some other reason why he is willing to help Justin now, ' Ricky analyzed

secretly upon hearing their strange conversation.

Ricky kept sizing this young man up, wanting to see through him. However, even with the powers of his

four zones, there was little information he could get. He was sure that Henry Chen reeked of danger for

a moment, and the next second, he could feel nothing dangerous or even special about him. It was like

there was an impenetrable curtain between them, but Ricky was not to be fooled.

The less you know about your enemy, the more dangerous he might be. 'Henry is definitely a strong

opponent, ' he reminded himself. 'Besides, the Sandy Mutant must be hard to deal with.' Ricky

assessed the situation as fast as he could.

Henry Chen met Ricky's gaze. His smile widened as he stared Ricky in the eye. "So, you are the ace

genius they've been talking about? I've heard a lot about you. Honestly, I don't want to fight against you

and become your enemy," he admitted.

"However, I've been ordered to join the battle, and I need to keep my promise. Sadly, I must kill you

today." No murderous intent could be felt from him when he said those words, but he was certainly a

foe.

"With all due respect, it's fairly easy to claim the ability to beat and even kill a rival, but it takes true

strength and skill to accomplish it," Ricky mocked, unafraid. He did not avoid Henry Chen's gaze at all.

"I totally agree. It takes a truly powerful warrior to kill a strong opponent, especially when we're talking

about taking the life of some ace genius like you," Henry said in a low but confident tone. "The thing is,

I believe that I'm capable of killing you."

"Oh, really? Let's wait and see. I want to see how amazing your Sandy Mutant can be," Ricky replied,

his intense energy emanating from him slowly as they spoke.

Terrence and Soar took an aggressive stance at Ricky's flank, preparing themselves for the impending

fight, but Ricky told them to step back with his eyes.

Ricky had to face this Henry Chen himself, for he had a feeling that neither Terrence nor Soar could

match this mysterious enemy. This battle was bound to be fierce, but Ricky still thought that he could

win against Henry Chen with the powers of his four zones.

"So, you already know that I have the Sandy Mutant? What a surprise. But you can be sure that it won't

be a disappointment," Henry said, amused, mildly smiling and staring meaningfully at Ricky.
