"Puff!" This abrupt sound came from Lucas. He was seriously injured, spitting out a big mouthful of blood after he had been attacked by his three opponents. Their three fists had pierced through his chest! His life force was ebbing away quickly.
"You… You three..." Lucas snarled angrily with his last breath. Before he could utter another word, he had collapsed on the ground; his eyes were still wide open with a great unwillingness to die. Apparently, he had never once thought that the three would unite together to kill him.
Seeing that Lucas was already dead on the ground, Ricky and the two old men, who were known as "the Evil Geezers", looked at each other, smiled, and burst out the power of their fists tacitly, which all flashed at Lucas' corpse. His body turned into ashes, accompanied by a resounding boom.
Meanwhile, Lucas's storage bag full of treasures was strewn on the ground, but none of them went to pick it up and check what treasures were inside. They had more important matters to deal with.
"Thank you for your cooperation with me." Ricky broke the silence with a slight smile on his face.
"You little rascal, you are so clever! We didn't expect you to figure out what we were planning to do," one of the old men said, chuckling heartily.
"Actually, it wasn't just a random guess. I could read it in your eyes," Ricky replied. "In your eyes, I saw obvious greed I've never seen before, so I'm sure you two would never share anything with others."
"Ha-ha, little friend, you are so straightforward. No one dares to speak to us in that way," the two old men said and burst out laughing as Ricky was right about their obvious greed. Yet before long, their laughter petered out and they regained their strong murderous intent.
They now asked Ricky coldly, "Little friend, tell us now, would you choose to die in a decent way or an ugly way?"
"Ha-ha, I've never thought about which way, so I'll leave the question to both of you!" Ricky said with a naughty grin.
"But please do tell me your names before you die, because I never kill a man without first knowing his name," Ricky added arrogantly.
"You little brat, just you remember. The two men who will kill you for the treasures are called the Evil Geezers," the two old men replied fiercely after hearing Ricky's arrogant words.
Ricky rummaged through in his mind and found out that he did hear such a name from Tyson. Earlier, Tyson had told him about some demi-immortals within the Sky Manor area, among whom were the Evil Geezers.
According to Tyson, the Evil Geezers did not belong to any force and had no regular place to live. They were just two independent warriors wandering within the entire Sky Manor area and specializing in the nasty business of robbing here and there and assassinating others for a hefty price.
Thus, Ricky knew that Lucas should have paid a good price to hire the Evil Geezers to kill him. Unfortunately, as the employer, he was too naive and failed to take into consideration his employees' greed. As a result, he had been murdered mercilessly!
The next moment, the Evil Geezers' bodies began exuding black ghost aura, suddenly turning the bright area into a place as horrible as hell. The innate power carried with the incomplete ghost aura then swooped towards Ricky.
"Ricky, they are both at the medium stage of demi-immortal. Yet, they are the worst among the warriors on their level," Soar's voice advised Ricky in his mind. "But according to your strength now, it might be impossible for you to kill them. After all, you have just made a breakthrough and reached the seventh grade of Bone Reinforcement."
"Soar, I know that. I still choose to fight with them, just because I want to see what maximum extent I can push my power to right now," Ricky responded confidently.
"Boom! Boom!" Loud sounds came from Ricky. As soon as he finished his words, he immediately burst out his power at the Eighth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula, with furious flames burning around him and purple golden light shining.
After all of the ghost aura was burned out by the furious flame, Ricky immediately launched an attack with his topmost speed by throwing two intense flaming punches in an instant towards the Evil Geezers.
"The Evil Claw!"
the Evil Geezers roared furiously, seeing Ricky launch the attack first. They were exasperated because no other younger warrior had ever dared to make the first strike against them in the span of almost a hundred years they had been acting freely in the area of the Sky Manor.
Therefore, without any hesitation, they dispatched their deadly skill.
The moment the furious roar stopped, under the thick evil aura two sharp black claws were filled with the power of evil aura. They flew to Ricky's two fiery punches and immediately defeated them.
