Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 33

"Sword-light, three swords in one!"

Brandishing the long sword surrounded by white energy, Jim instantly made three golden sword blades that began to fuse in mid-air. A sharp and powerful sword-light was formed. Jim came with full force to Ricky.

He had all the killing intentions in his mind. He summoned all the power he can muster in his final blow. The powerful cultivation methods concentrated in his sword-light.

Despite the display of strength in front of him, Ricky remained unfazed. A mix of determination and excitement was evidently seen behind his black eyes. His fighting spirit remained unwavering. He channeled his inner strength and summoned the power of First Degree of the Nine-Degree Body Refining Formula in his right arm -- he was ready to retaliate.

Ricky's spiritual energy started taking shape. A fierce tiger started to take form behind his back. The resounding roar of the tiger was heard -- a sign of Ricky's true strength.

"Whiz Fist!" Ricky shouted as he clasped his fingers together to form a fist. With all the energy he could summon in him, he went for the golden sword-light.

Crash! The next few moments were hazy. The sound of golden iron reverberated throughout the whole area. The clash between sword-light and the tiger's roar created a dramatic ripple it could practically tear the whole space apart.

The fight between Jim and Ricky was neck to neck. Ricky's red fist and Jim's sword-light blade were locked into a stalemate.

This, however, only lasted a short while. A cracking sound was heard after a short moment had passed.

It started out as something small, a minute chink in the sword of light. But the cracks started growing. More and more started to appear in the blade and it spread until the sharp sword-light dissipated.

Jim was in disbelief. He was fearful, even. He couldn't fathom the scene unfolding before him. Ricky was pleased with himself. All his hard work paid off. With a cocky smirk, he revved his power further and concentrated in his red fist.

BANG!

An explosive boom resounded in the whole field. The sword-light from the golden sword dimmed and the sword flew right out of Jim's hand.

Ricky did not even give Jim a chance to recover. He immediately struck his chest like a bolt of thunder.

Jim did not even lift a finger to defend himself. Was he strong enough to combat Ricky's punches? Definitely. But he was dejected after seeing his most powerful sword-light shatter into millions of pieces. His will to continue fighting was depleting.

Pow! Jim spat out large amounts of blood from his mouth as he was thrown in the ground with a loud thud.

Ricky was not taking any chances. Without missing a single beat he used Jim's long sword and mercilessly pierced him through the chest.

"You..." Jim struggled to form words as he tried to look at Ricky, who was remorseless. He spat more mouthfuls of blood as he struggled through the stabbing pain. With his final breath, Jim attempted to lift his finger to point at Ricky, as if trying to squeeze in one final gesture.

"Killing you with your own sword is the only mercy I can give you," Ricky muttered ruthlessly.

He was having none of it. He learned never to show mercy ever again in the face of his enemies. He knew that if he were to fail today, he would not have that chance again.

Ricky shifted his gaze to the three disciples. They were going to be his next kill.

"Run!" These three people scampered and ran away from Jim as far as possible.

The three of them knew how powerful Jim was. They all knew how strong he was for he was one of the top ten outer disciples in the Snow Sect. He was also the genius who understood sword-light. But despite all that, Ricky still managed to win the battle.

"Since you guys are already here, you don't need to leave," Ricky sneered. He was on a roll. He attacked head on and killed Connie's disciple in a single blow.

Unlike any other regular disciple, Jim was one of the top ten outer disciples of the Snow Sect. This was definitely going to leave an impact. If the Snow Sect were to find out that Ricky killed Jim, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With the help of Heather, Ricky managed to kill all three of them in three hours.

He finally accomplished all his purposes for the Iron Blood Trial.

The next thing to do was wait for the time to pass and go to the Sacred Blood Pond to obtain the crystal.

Ricky did not take the black dots of his kill for today. Instead, he gave them to Heather. He found it pointless in taking more, he already had enough -- seven hundred, to be exact.

Ricky and Heather decided to trudge through the dense forest. They found it best to spend their time to recuperate and restore the energy they spent.

Finding a good spot, they both found a resting place near a giant tree. They practiced controlling their breathing to pass time.
