At that moment, they couldn't believe their eyes!
"How could this bastard have tied with Sham?" Kinsey and Ellison howled in disbelief.
"We must kill this bastard as quickly as possible!" Their eyes met, and they made a resolution to kill Ricky before he had the chance to escape. They wondered if a battle in the Fortune Land would be their last chance to kill Ricky. If Ricky managed to get out of the Fortune Land after cultivating at such a great rate, they would probably become defenseless lambs at Ricky's mercy by the time they met him again.
…
Sham was totally astonished. He was fully aware of the power of his sword because, whenever Sham drew his sword and thrust it at his rivals, no one among the younger generation except Hoffman had the ability to counter-attack against him.
Ricky shocked him by somehow being able to match his blow. How could Sham keep his composure under such pressure?
Hoffman had not really figured out why Ricky had decided to fight head-to-head with him until that moment. The obvious answer was that Ricky had confidence in his own strength. The whole situation didn't seem to make sense. Ricky was only at the highest level of the ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement, so how could he be so strong?
They had already learned that Ricky could challenge rivals that were two levels higher than him without it being too much of a risk. When Ricky under-took those challenges, he had been at the eighth grade of Bone Reinforcement, and not the ninth grade. After reaching the ninth grade, it became very difficult for warriors to challenge rivals that were two levels higher than them.
There was a major qualitative difference between the level of a demi-immortal and the levels of Bone Reinforcement.
At the ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement, Ricky really could still challenge his rivals that were two levels higher than him. That was something that was really breathtaking and horrifying to others!
'Ricky, you have not let me down. Although I am unwilling to accept it, I still have to admit that you are unquestionably a genius!' Hoffman thought to himself in that moment. He felt a wave of emotions well up within him just then.
…
"Sham, you people from the Endless Shadow have been hunting me for a long time, but now it's time for me to get my pay-back for that," Ricky said admonishingly as he turned around to face Sham.
"As the highest ranking assassin of the Endless Shadow, if you are killed here, the Endless Shadow will undoubtedly be rocked by your absence!"
When Ricky finished speaking, there were no hoots or catcalls from the crowd. They were all overpowered by Ricky's charisma and his viscous instincts. They were fully aware that Ricky had completely outclassed them in that conflict.
They could feel how powerful Ricky was deep down in their bones. They could tell that he was on the same level as Sham and Hoffman. They assumed that they should respect Ricky as much as they respected Sham and Hoffman.
At that moment, they were a little bit thankful that Sham had showed up just in time. They would have been killed by Ricky otherwise.
"Ha-ha!" Sham finally woke up from his trance and laughed loudly.
"Ricky, I admit that you are really powerful and talented, but I don't really think that you are able to kill me. The person who is skilled enough to kill me hasn't been born yet!"
Sham remarked and spun around.
In that moment, Sham began to find his form and instantly began to focus on the task at hand again. He was fully aware that, if he did not fight with all his might, he was not able to defend against Ricky, so it was obviously impossible to kill Ricky.
"Ellison, why don't you take this chance to deploy the array. You can make it a clean kill array-- we can't afford to let Ricky go this time," Kinsey told Ellison, communicating with him through their telepathic link.
Ellison knew very well what levels Ricky's strength and power was at, so he nodded in agreement, although he was dissatisfied with Kinsey's authoritative tone.
Then, a lot of black-and-blue tattoos appeared all over Ellison's body.
"I'm telling you, the person who will kill you really is already directly in front of you!" Ricky answered coldly.
