"Yes. Now that you've tried to kill us, I don't see any problem with ending your life. I even dared to bring down an ace genius of the Red Potentate Roc tribe. Just imagine what I'm going to do to you.
Don't tell me you have the support of some force even more powerful than the Red Potentate Roc tribe?" Ricky replied with a playful sneer.
The moment he stopped talking, a murderous look appeared in his eyes. He was glaring at Guillermo with such hostility, that Guillermo had to avoid his gaze.
Ricky would not let go of enemies like Guillermo. He knew that people like Guillermo would never change, and he would get back at him in the future.
'What if they were stronger than us?
I guess that they would not show mercy to us and kill all of us in cold blood. I would die if I didn't have the zones,' Ricky thought to himself.
Guillermo fell silent and fear engulfed him. He met Ricky's gaze, and he quickly turned away once more.
At this point, he realized that Ricky would take his life even though he was also from the wood branch.
Just as he expected, Ricky was prepared to kill him.
Noticing that Ricky was making a move, Hayes broke the eerie silence. "Ricky, spare his life. If he tries to hurt us again, we will not let him get away," Hayes pleaded. Since he had cultivated the power of justice, he had a kind heart.
He had also known Guillermo for many years. Even though they were not friends, there was no bad blood between them.
Ashley opened her mouth, wanting to defend Guillermo. However, she didn't say anything. She didn't think that Ricky would listen to her anyways. After all, she and Ricky did not see eye to eye.
Mordechai remained silent, for he wanted Guillermo dead too.
The creatures of the Desolate Sorcery tribe seldom felt sympathy for others.
Whenever he activated his Sorcerous Combat Body, Mordechai would turn ferocious and aggressive. Perhaps that was why the Desolate Sorcery tribe had been sealed away for eons.
"Hayes, I know I was wrong. You can't kill me, or Master Lloyd will punish you," Guillermo begged, looking at Hayes pitifully. He tried to appeal to Hayes' kind nature.
However, since Ricky had made his decision, no one could change his mind. He performed the Space-shrinking Pace, and reached Guillermo in an instant. Before Hayes could defend Guillermo, he unleashed the Thunder Light Blade and ended Guillermo's life with one strike.
Ricky knew clearly that Guillermo could persuade Hayes to spare him.
Since he had already turned down Hayes' request once, he found it difficult to refuse him again if Hayes pleaded him to spare Guillermo's life the second time. So he decided to act quickly.
He must get rid of enemies like Guillermo.
If he let Guillermo live, Guillermo would cause him much trouble. If Guillermo returned to the wood branch, Lloyd might decide not punish him, after all.
"Ricky..." Before Hayes could even speak, Guillermo was already a dead man.
Both he and Ashley were surprised.
"Ricky, what the hell are you doing?" Ashley huffed after she came back to her senses.
"I just took out an enemy," Ricky replied with a faint smile.
Hayes just sighed deeply and shook his head.
'Why would Guillermo turn his back on the wood branch? If he hadn't done all of this, he would still be a key disciple in our sect. It's a pity that he ended up like this,' he thought to himself.
However, he didn't blame Ricky for destroying Guillermo. It was what the latter deserved.
In fact, if Ricky hadn't killed him, Hayes believed that he himself would have done it if he and Guillermo had not been on good terms, more or less. He cultivated the power of justice, but that didn't mean that he would not kill those who were evil.
"You..." Ashley stammered. She was pissed off by what Ricky had said.
However, she didn't know what to say. She knew he was right.
