Once the airwaves had dissipated, all eyes focused on the center where the two figures finally emerged—Ricky and Lundy.
Both men were a mess of broken bones, wounds, and blood, as they laid barely conscious on the battle ring. They were evidently at their last gasp. They could scarcely breathe, let alone get up and fight.
"Both sides are badly injured!" Everyone was taken aback by what they had just seen.
However, they were not very surprised because Ricky and Lundy had released an equal amount of power to hurt each other. It was highly likely that both men had suffered significant losses as a result.
And that was just the fact.
Some people immediately started to discuss what could happen next. "If both sides are badly injured, who will the Blessing Blood Tower choose? I this case, I don't think they could just get the Blood Beast King like this."
"I'm afraid that won't happen. Can you believe it? They will probably start fighting again once they have recovered some of their strength." The onlookers discussed among themselves heatedly.
"It looks like both of us are too injured to continue. But I can't accept this result!" Lundy resentfully cried out as he pushed himself to recover quickly.
"It's not a big deal. At least we are not dead. However, I agree with you. I, too, don't want our fight to end like this where we are both too injured to move. Therefore, I'm going to kill you without mercy,"
Ricky responded indifferently.
"Ha-ha! Really?" Lundy laughed boisterously from where he was still lying on the floor. "You are very strong, and your recovery skill is also quite remarkable. But you are certainly not much better now. Just like me, I'm afraid you only have enough strength to speak.
I don't think you even have sufficient strength to recover, so how can you kill me? But things are different to me. I only need a little more time. Soon, I can use the heavenly law to help me recover faster, and when that happens, you will die."
"Perhaps, you are right, but do you think I will give you such a chance?" Ricky scoffed at Lundy.
"Well, I'd like to see what else you can do!"
"Show yourself!" Ricky suddenly yelled out.
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures appeared out of nowhere. They were two Shadowy Replications that came out from Ricky's Massacring Zone.
Ricky had left these two Shadowy Replications on purpose in the Massacring Zone before he had fought with Lundy. He didn't want to take Lundy lightly, so he had taken a lot of precautions before the battle.
Ricky knew that his Shadowy Replications would not help much in a high-powered battle such as this one, but there was no absolute certainty in the world. Thus, he had prepared well.
And now, circumstances had proven him right.
When the spectators saw Ricky's two Shadowy Replications, they all fell silent for a moment.
Nobody knew that he had held back a trick or two, though no one was sure how precisely the Shadowy Replications could help him in this battle. The truth was that, his helpers could undoubtedly affect the battle's result.
In the next breath, Ricky's two Shadowy Replications landed and pressed Lundy's shoulder blade tightly. It was too late for Lundy to react.
"How could this be possible? Why do you have Shadowy Replications? Are you from the Endless Shadow?" Lundy ferociously roared after the silence.
Meanwhile, the surrounding warriors broke out into furious whispers. "I didn't expect this to happen!" some of them exclaimed.
"Now, I wonder if Ricky has the courage to kill Lundy," some of them added.
"To be honest, Lundy, I didn't expect that my two Shadowy Replications would help me win this battle. But it's all your fault. Since we are both badly hurt, I would have let you go if you had admitted defeat. But now, it's a pity that I'll have to kill you to win."
