Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 279

"Russell, what are you doing?"

Kristen and Tyson asked Ricky as they prepared to take out the innate spiritual balls to save Ricky. Sweat formed on their foreheads, and their eyes grew larger for they were very worried when they saw Ricky prepare for massive attacks that were directed towards Nathan.

They froze; fear encircled their gut for they knew that it might be too late. The enemy had already released a powerful punch that almost landed at the delicate part of Ricky's head. Everyone knew that a punch from an Elder at ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement could do some serious damage to anyone who'd receive his attacks. Even more so, one punch could definitely crack one's skull and send him straight to his grave.

"You bastard! Do you really think you can murder the young master of the Arhat Palace? You must be dreaming! Too ambitious but too naive. Don't be so full of yourself," the elder said brutally as he looked Ricky straight in the eye. But the Elder had not yet had enough. This time, he raised his fists higher and readied to punch Ricky's face more forcefully. The punch was so strong that it was enough to pulverize his opponent's head.

"Are you sure about that?" Ricky responded arrogantly with blank eyes while his Iron Destroyer was still pointed at Nathan who was pinned to the ground.

Bang!

A incandescent furious power leapt up around the area as Ricky spoke. the Manor Gang's castle was glutted with the boiling power and all warriors felt as if they were in a super hot furnace.

The Elder at ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement felt especially depressed since the boiling power aimed at him and he would endure the most power of the attack. A strong omen of danger caught him all of a sudden.

He wasn't a stranger to this feeling, the near death experience. He had already felt this when the lord of the Arhat Palace gave him a taste of his power. But somehow, deep inside of him, he sensed by instinct that Ricky's power was much stronger than that.

Soon after, the warrior at ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement came to his senses. He realized that the amount of energy that flooded the castle could be from a demi-immortal, or from an innate spiritual king that was lurking around the area.

And in an instant, he stepped back without having to think twice.

But to his dismay, it was too late for him to turn back.

A thin scarlet snake that dangled on Ricky's right arm huffed and suddenly opened its eyes that resembled dancing fire. Soar, the 'snake', unlatched itself from Ricky's arm and sprinted out as fast as it could.

"You! You're a demi-immortal monster!" The Elder at ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement sneered as it was now clear to him where all the threatening power was coming from.

"How dare such a minuscule of a monster from the mountains mess around in the Chaotic Region! The eight...." the Elder choked mid sentence as he gathered all of his strength to prepare for a defense.

But surprisingly, Soar was a Great Dragon in the demi-immortal realm. He was capable of fighting against innate spiritual kings. How could someone at only the ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement withstand his tremendous power?

But the cunning and belittled little 'snake' made its way to the Elder's head and slithered to the space between his eyebrows. And before the Elder could finish his words and taunts, he dropped to the ground, dead and cold as ice.

Anyone with a pair of eyes could clearly see the paleness and the lack of life in the Elder at ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement. His blood essence had been completely drained out.

The death was all of a sudden, with no warnings whatsoever. It was much like the Elder was completely off guard when Soar landed on his forehead. But only Soar knew about what had caused the Elder's instant death. Soar had absorbed all of the Elder's blood essence energy at the time of his death.

Soar was a beast in nature. Unlike human warriors who depended on cultivation to improve their powers, Soar and other monsters of his like could simply strengthen themselves by devouring external energy.

Another difference that monsters had with human warriors was that monsters relied greatly on their bloodline. They usually achieved the peak of cultivation and then stop once they had reached the summit of their bloodline. This was what set them apart from human warriors who could break through their limitations when it came to strengthening and enhancement.

...

Soar returned to Ricky's right arm swiftly after he killed the Elder at ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement and absorbed his blood essence. He crawled there with his eyes closed, so tranquil and peaceful that no one would believe what had happened just now if they did not witness it with their own eyes.

Pow!

Suddenly, the Iron Destroyer dropped to the ground and landed beside, and not directly at Nathan. This was all part of Ricky's plan. He didn't actually want to kill Nathan. All he wanted was to show his power.
