Ricky thought about it for a while and then determined that he had the confidence to resist Hayes' attack. Therefore, he chose to defend himself.
Of course, that wasn't his only reason. He wanted to see the full power of Hayes' flying sword and witness the power of the Shadow Sword Mutant.
A moment later, Ricky stomped his feet against the air.
Then he stood completely still. His feet were planted like the roots of a tree, holding him so firmly in place that it felt like no force in the world could move him.
Pressing his palms together, he allowed endless purple ancestral thunder to gush from his chest and he used it to form the Ancestral Thunder Net.
The Ancestral Thunder Net could shatter and block an enemy's attack.
In addition, Ricky released several massacring runes, and sent massacring patterns to cover the surface of the Ancestral Thunder Net.
And Ricky was still not done rounding up his defenses yet. The Source of Golden Body inside of him stirred, and he activated the fourth level of Ultimate Golden Body to resist the attack.
Rushing through the air like an arrow, Hayes' flying sword tried to pierce through the Ancestral Thunder Net, causing a crack to form. Then, it passed through the massacring patterns.
It seemed that nothing could get in its way. A loud crash resounded when the flying sword came into contact with Ricky's Ultimate Golden Body.
As a result, several cracks formed like fine spider webs all over the Ultimate Golden Body.
The moment all of Ricky's defenses broke, the flying sword ran out of energy and disappeared.
Ricky spread out his hands to deactivate the Ultimate Golden Body. Then, he looked Hayes in the eye.
"Ricky, you blocked my attack. Why didn't you take your chance and fight back?" Hayes asked as he lowered his right hand.
"I've learned the saber skills. It might be different from the sword skills, but both have a lot in common. Because of this, I know that you haven't performed your best sword move yet, and you haven't released your sword intent," Ricky responded with a smile.
"Ricky, does this mean that you are confident that you can withstand my most powerful flying sword strike?" Hayes asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Try me," Ricky responded with a grin.
"Fine, if that's what you want. If you can handle my most powerful blow, you win. The power that you cultivate is focused on attack, not defense. My attack is also my defense," Hayes responded.
"So if I can't break through your defenses, I will admit defeat.
But there is one thing you need to know first. I will not withdraw my flying sword before the fight is over."
"I understand!" Ricky said.
Not wasting any time,
Hayes charged at Ricky as fast as his legs would carry him.
He released the power of the Shadow Sword Mutant and runic power formed. It was an invisible rune used to communicate with the heavenly law. The heavenly power cascaded from the sky behind Hayes like a waterfall.
Ricky tried to use his Golden Spirit Eyes but he couldn't see anything but countless flying swords.
The overwhelming heavenly power had targeted him until
every inch of his flesh was covered by the sword light.
The sword light had come from the heavenly law, not Hayes, which meant that he had successfully communicated with the heavenly law using his Shadow Sword Mutant and now had its support.
"I hereby summon the Heavenly Flying Sword!" Hayes shouted.
Boom!
From the sky, the heavenly power continued to pour down. Eventually, a black shadow emerged. After a few seconds, Ricky could see that it was a sword.
Hayes stood beneath the black sword and faced his upper body towards the sky. A moment later, his spine turned into a flying sword, rushed out of his body, and merged with the black sword. Before their eyes, the two swords formed a new flying sword.
Ricky looked back down but Hayes had vanished when the swords combined.
Before he could react to that, the brand new flying sword was coming his way.
It looked like a simple sword move.
