Crack! Crack!
The sounds of broken pieces of metal echoed through the violent waves. This time Ricky's Chaotic Strike seemed invincible as it slashed the nine Nether Devils into halves.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, as Ricky struck his blade across the nine Nether Devils like he was cutting nothing but flimsy paper.
"Wait, what's going on? I can't believe that the Holy King is unable to withstand a single blow!" several warriors around commented as they witnessed what had happened.
"Shut up, guys. You know nothing. The power of the Holy King's Holy Nether Death Formula lies in death. So, just watch carefully!" some other warriors retorted. "Those nine Nether Devils are the key to instant death.
The faster the nine Nether Devils are defeated, the more power Kenney's strike will eventually consume. Just wait and see."
Just as expected, rich death power penetrated Ricky's strike as soon as he finished killing the last Nether Devil. In fact, this death power was so strong that it almost drowned Ricky.
In a flash, the death power destroyed a huge chunk of Ricky's power.
"What? This is..." All the warriors around did not know what to say upon seeing what was in front of them.
"Just as I told you, this is exactly how the power of the Holy Nether Death Formula works," some warriors argued. Although the Nether Devil was destroyed, the process would consume a large amount of energy of Ricky. As a result, he was likely to be hurt badly instead.
"I bet you the Death Eagle is the real killing strike of the Holy King."
"Kenney, you will surely die under my Death Eagle. Prepare to meet your doom!" With the fierce roar of the Holy King, the Death Eagle launched its strike. At that moment, it raised its claw and tore up the entire death world. After absorbing all the power in it, it immediately charged at Ricky's transformed strike.
"Kenney is going to lose this one, isn't he? I mean, there is a significant difference between their powers right now. I don't think he can make it."
"Hold your horses. Let's see if Kenney has other trump cards up his sleeve."
"The Holy King's Death Eagle is worthy of his name!" Ricky murmured in a low voice for he didn't expect that the Death Eagle would be this powerful. Although he disliked the idea that his opponent's strike was more powerful than his, Ricky knew that the Holy King's power should be respected for its potency.
The death power might be inferior to the chaotic power, but at that moment, the Holy King's Death Eagle pushed the death power to its limit. Even though it was released with delay, it was still able to suppress Ricky's Chaotic Power.
Of course, this was only temporary. However, such a short period of time was enough for the Holy King to send Ricky in defeat so quickly.
Unfortunately for the Holy King, he had ignored Ricky's strength, or he wasn't aware of what happened during Ricky and Carney's battle. If he had known this, then he would have known that Ricky cultivated the life and death rune.
"I thought I could defeat the Holy King with the chaotic power. But I guess the Holy Nether Death Formula is giving me no choice but to use the life and death power," Ricky said to himself in a low voice.
Sure enough, the Ancestral Intent Formula could also eliminate the current suppression. However, if Ricky wanted to get rid of this suppression, he still had to use the chromatic energy, because this was the only way that the Ancestral Intent Formula could be powerful.
Meanwhile, Ricky's life and death runes rose sharply, suppressing the nether death power that the Holy King released. In an instant, the latter was transformed into Ricky's own power due to the effect of the life and death runes. Soon after, the light lingering on Ricky's sword bloomed once again.
With a flash of blinding lightning, the sword light slashed and chopped down the Death Eagle.
Seeing this, all the people watching them fell into complete shock as they had never expected this kind of twist in the fight.
No one was able to utter a single word as they heard the Holy King's cry as he was sent flying into the air, splashing blood all over the arena. Soon after, a deafening thud was heard as the Holy King's body dropped to the ground, bearing a crack so deep on his chest that it even revealed its sternum.
"Holy King, your Holy Nether Death Formula is indeed powerful, but you are forgetting that I've cultivated many kinds of runes, one of which is the life and death rune. Wherever your death power comes, it will only be used by me if it is not stronger than my power. So from the very beginning, you are destined to lose!"
Ricky said with firm resolution.
