CHAPTER 693 PREDATORY QUICKSAND

Pearl knew clearly that if she were under any of their attacks, even with the power of her own dark

water, any counterattack she would attempt to make would fail.

'Once the collision of their powerful attack subsides, they should be restrained and hurt each other

badly!'

Pearl thought calculatingly.

In her heart, she was ready to go all out because she had almost completely recovered and reverted

back to her best condition.

Boom! At that moment, the sound of thunder that roared midair increased yet again. There was also

the addition of small but destructive thunderbolts coming down from the sky, and falling into the violent

collision between Ricky and Henry.

"It would be awesome if the rules of heavens here can really strike," Pearl said with a look of

expectation in her eyes as she saw the destructive thunderbolts falling from the sky.

Within the ripples of air, the varying power of enlightenment on the quicksand pyramid constantly

morphed into the sealing power to support the quicksand pyramid. Meanwhile, Henry also poured

himself into the pyramid, thereby forming an endless stream of quicksand.

Fortified with all the different kinds of powers supported by Henry, the quicksand pyramid became more

and more powerful and continued to press down towards Ricky.

The Massacring Golden Palms of Ricky, which included two kinds of golden flames, the Heaven

Slaughtering Fire and the Massacring Fire, was filled with golden light. It could be seen that it was

constantly absorbing the runic power of Ricky's Massacring Mutant.

Seeing how Henry merged with his attack, Ricky did not hesitate any more. He jumped up into the air

and merged himself with his attack: the Massacring Golden Palms.

Once again, two of the strongest attacks resulted in another fierce collision. This time, however, the

collision was even accompanied with the destructive thunderbolt coming down from mid-air.

Boom! Boom! In the midst of the roaring strength from the two opposing forces, a pathway was formed.

It was being surrounded by the air ripples. It appeared that the pathway was created after the powerful

blast that filled the air seconds ago.

Time seemed to stop, and the space appeared to have been torn apart.

Just then, another power emerged. It was the power of the array in this palace that suppressed the

destructive power of the attack from Henry and Ricky. This belongs to : ©.

Two figures suddenly sprang out from the ripples of air. They emerged rapidly from opposite sides.

They were Ricky and Henry. This wasn't the first time they bounced out as a result of the violent

collision they caused. Wherever the two passed, the space, which had just been healing, was shattered

yet again.

They did not stop sliding and ripping holes through space until they reached the ends of the palace in

opposite directions. As they slid and passed rapidly, they left smoking trails of fire and smoke.

They were both a striking mess. Their clothes were tattered and their bodies were covered in bruises.

But, more strikingly, it could be seen that their wounds had also helped increase their power

tremendously.

Loud cracking sounds could be heard. The destructive thunderbolt which had been, roaring and striking

in mid-air had already surrounded them.

"How is it possible that both of them are still in the best condition after such a collision?" Pearl could not

believe what she was witnessing. The more impressive the power they exhibited, the stronger her urge

to kill them.

But what Pearl didn't realize and know yet was that her desire to kill Ricky might not have been due to

the jealousy she harbored over his talent.

Something changed slightly, without her noticing.

"Devouring Mutant! Devouring Storm!"

The moment he braced himself for an attack, Ricky's feet stepped into the air once more. His

Massacring Mutant shifted into the Devouring Mutant instantly as he began gathering the power of the

Devouring Storm. The storm went on to attack Henry rapidly before it surrounded him in the blink of an

eye. One could clearly see that Ricky wanted to use this attack to devour and tear Henry apart.

"Scatter!" Upon seeing Ricky's attack, Henry snorted. He turned his body directly into a stream of

quicksand. It was as smooth as running water, and it flowed rapidly through the cracks of the Devouring

Storm.

Ricky and Henry then switched landing places, but apparently without touching each other yet.

"The Sandy Mutant is really as strong as I thought it would be. It seems like the attack of my Devouring

Mutant and Massacring Mutant are unable to touch and strike you," Ricky muttered in a low voice as he

turned.

"That's the truth: You are unable to touch and hit me. Even though your Devouring Mutant possesses

some of the evasive properties of my Sandy Mutant, I still will kill you this time. Here, let me show you

how I break your double mutants," Henry replied coldly.

"Really? What other cards do you have? Just take them out and let me have a look. I can feel that

there is a strong power in your tripod, your spiritual weapon," Ricky said without flinching. There wasn't

even a hint of fear or surprise in his eyes. His relentless fighting spirit surged out of his body once

again.

"If you say so, I will do as you wish!" Henry insisted, his tone growing colder.

After uttering those words, Henry turned and morphed into a huge Predatory Holy Ant.

"Is this your beast form, the Predatory Holy Ant?" Ricky muttered quietly as he witnessed Henry's quick

transformation.

As Henry transformed and revealed his beast form, the tripod also grew larger under the enlightening

power. It hovered above Henry's head. Then, streams of black quicksand gushed from within the tripod.

"Black Quicksand!" Ricky said in a serious and deep tone. He was much more serious than before

because he felt the danger that lingered above.

'What's going on? I don't feel anything special in the black quicksand. Yet why do I feel so threatened?'

Ricky felt very confused.

"I named the quicksand the Predatory Quicksand!" Henry told Ricky as the Predatory Quicksand

surrounded his body.

The sadness and indignation in Henry's words were extremely evident and hard to miss.

Listening closely to the weight of Henry's words, Ricky really felt the pain he had been carrying in his

heart.

"You named it yourself. Can you tell me where this Predatory Quicksand comes from?" Ricky asked

softly.

"I can tell you, because you are the first enemy who has earned my recognition," Henry replied, still

seething with pain.

"The Predatory Quicksand is a fusion between the Massacring Sand and the bones of the

predecessors of our Predatory Holy Ant tribe," Henry said with lamenting and resentment. "When our

ancestors sealed us, they put the corpses of many predecessors who had not been eroded by the evil

spirit into the tripod and then they blended the Massacring Sand into the tripod to seal it within us.

Originally, our ancestors placed the Massacring Sand into the tripod so that the corpses of our

predecessors could be preserved, especially from decay. However, unexpectedly, over the years, all of

them had evolved into this Predatory Quicksand.

I've always wondered, why do I possess the Sandy Mutant? Is this the responsibility entrusted to me by

the ancestors to kill traitors and the devils? Is it my destiny to use the Predatory Quicksand?"

"Oh, I see," Ricky replied and nodded slightly, showing his understanding of Henry's grief and anger.

"But what I truly didn't expect was that the first person I would need to kill with this Predatory

Quicksand would be you," Henry said and his eyebrows curled at the sudden twist of fate that he and

Ricky were experiencing.

"I admire your predecessors and I understand the pain in your heart. However, I also know well that

what I want to get in my heart. Therefore, I apologize but I can't let you destroy this inheritance," Ricky

reluctantly muttered.

"Do you really get how I feel? No, you don't! If you really understand how I feel, you should've

destroyed this inheritance with me. You should've opted to destroy everything related to the Massacring

Holy Ant tribe, a tribe that sold their souls to the devils!" Henry yelled, unable to contain the anger and

pain violently emanating inside him.

After expressing all the emotions he had been hiding inside, Henry wasted no more second and used

his mind to control the Predatory Quicksand. He divided the sand into several strands, each of which

contained twice as much enlightening power. He then aimed the Predatory Quicksand to instantly shoot

at Ricky like a downpour of arrows.

"The Predatory Quicksand was made by the predecessors of the Predatory Holy Ant tribe. If I engage

in combat with this sand, it would be like fighting with them. So, just show me your power and let me

get to the bottom of where the so-called danger is really coming from," Ricky resumed his fighting spirit

and anticipated the impact of Henry's approaching attack.

Ricky also surrounded his body with four runes.
