Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 570

As the hefty stalactite door gradually opened, all the warriors were greeted by a faint yet, evidently pure scent. It was beautifully refreshing and comforting. They felt as though a garden of strong energy was awaiting them behind the door.

They were all innate spiritual kings. They could sense truly powerful energy. Only something so untouched could energize them in this manner. It was obvious that the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth in this cave was of the purest and highest quality.

Everything outside the stone door was enveloped in darkness, but deep inside, there was a world of light. The cave was filled with stalactites, behind each of which was a different kind of holy and bright light. Hung from the cave's ceiling, they were continuously dripping magic water.

They walked around this damp and cold place for hours before they discovered an enormously thick column of stalactite. It had grown to touch the ground and serve as the backbone of this cave. It was a sight of raw beauty.

"Let's go inside now. The Quintessence of Heaven and Earth should be in the center of this cave," Scar suggested eagerly.

Wasting no more time, the group carefully and strategically found their way into the depths of this mysterious cavern.

"Remember what I said about seeing you again, very soon, Russell? Well, here we are, meeting each other in just six hours." Just then, they all heard a familiar voice. Ricky instantly recognized it—it was Garrett.

Following the greetings, several figures showed up out of the blue.

They were none other than Garrett, Keyon, Jim and Josiah.

"We've been waiting for you here for a long time, you know," Garrett continued with a strange smile, looking directly at Ricky. He didn't lose eye contact.

Ricky's and his companions' faces darkened the moment they saw these four people. He didn't respond for quite a while, clearly trying to contain his anger.

'I knew it. I knew there was some scheme behind Garrett's cunning smile. I was right about these bastards. They just wouldn't give up the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth so easily. I never expected that they would go so far as to wait here ahead of time, though. Such shameless thieves!' Ricky thought to himself full of disdain and frustration.

"Well, you're probably wondering why we're here so early, right? It's quite easy to figure, especially for you. After all, anyone would come for such a valuable treasure like the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth as soon as possible. The longer you leave it out there, the more troubles you might encounter on your way. Isn't that what happened with you as well?" Looking at Ricky's sour face, Garrett enjoyably went on teasing him. There was a triumphant smile on his face, as though he had won the treasure himself.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I want to sincerely thank you for opening the door for us with the Blood Essence Stone. Without your assistance, we wouldn't have been able to break the strong array on the stalactite door. I doubt if even a demi-spiritual emperor could deal with IT. You really are a big help, Russell!" he said.

"Josiah, you cheater! How dare you violate the agreement made by the ancestors of the three halls!" Scar snarled at Josiah when he could no longer restrain his fury. Hearing those cheeky words from them really pushed him over the edge. There was coldness in his eyes that was prepared to kill.

Everyone knew that it was Josiah who leaked the location of this cave to Garrett and his men.

"Agreement? I beg your pardon?" Josiah smirked with indifference. "Really, Scar, the world of martial arts is under the law of the jungle. Do you still believe in any agreements? I don't have to tell you these things. You should know that only strength and deception can have the final say here. After all, you have always followed these principles, haven't you?" Josiah went on mocking them with his lips twisting into a sneer.

"It has been seventy years. I don't have to remind you that our Spear Hall doesn't have the right to enjoy the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth for a whole bloody seventy years! Such being the case, why not help ourselves to it? It's better than watching you guys enjoy it alone, anyway." Josiah shrugged.

"Damn, you bastard!" Scar couldn't help but curse watching Josiah being this outrageously ugly.

He was well aware that there was some truth in Josiah's words, though. It was indeed a world where only the strong could be the predators, and where promises had been worn down desperately thin. Scar didn't respond this time. He knew that if his Saber Hall failed today, he would be stooping down to the level of these bastards standing in front of him. They had arranged a competition to decide the owner of the treasure. They could have any number of fights, until the loser could scramble for the treasure no more.

"If my memory serves right, you have a secret space where we could hide, right?" Scar asked Ricky via telepathy. "I will try to hold them off, while you all get to a safe place. Do you think you can make it, Ricky?" Before Ricky could answer, Scar quickly added, "If it's not too much trouble, please take the three disciples of our hall with you." There was a hint of worry in his voice.

"Now, the Garuda tribe has revealed their true nature, they would not show any mercy to our Saber Hall. So, please, protect my disciples for me. I swear in the name of my warrior spirit that they are the most loyal men. You can trust them," Scar pleaded.

"I get it, Scar. Don't worry! They can come with me," Ricky answered without hesitation hearing Scar's plan.
