Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 571

An old man dressed in a golden robe suddenly appeared out of nowhere. However, what was striking about him was not his lustrous and expensive-looking attire. Rather, it was his uncanny resemblance to Jim that made jaws drop. He shared the exact physical build, appearance and facial expression as Jim's. The only detail that set the two apart was how he seemed to be more powerful than Jim!

''Brother!'' Jim muttered under his breath. Hearing Jim call out softly to the old man was enough for the group to recognize the latter.

"Master Billy!" greeted Garrett. Despite his excitement, he made sure he still regarded the man with respect.

Meanwhile, Josiah gloated silently at Scar. His thoughts seething with malice, he wondered if Scar would feel desperate after bearing witness to another completed spiritual king.

''You are Billy!'' he cried. Scar's face was instantly contorted with depression and gloom.

Billy was Jim's elder brother. He also happened to be among the most powerful completed spiritual kings. Back at the Oriental College, it appeared as though none of the other completed spiritual kings could overpower and defeat the Skyward Sword Spiritual King and the Array-shattering Spiritual King. But when paired against Billy, their powers would still seem mediocre in comparison. After all, Billy had been a renowned completed spiritual king for ages.

Even the Garuda tribe's very own leader—a demi-spiritual emperor—would regard Billy with a deep level of respect.

''Why are you here? Is the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth so valuable to your tribe?'' asked Scar. He was still in the middle of recovering from the mixture of shock and desperation he felt as he laid eyes on Billy. He simply could not believe that Billy was there—in flesh and blood.

Scar's deduction was right. It was truly unusual for two completed spiritual kings of the Garuda tribe to be in the same territory at the same time. What was even bizarre was the way both completed spiritual kings seemed to be immensely determined for the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth. It was simply not worth all the commotion.

It didn't take long before Ricky's face, too, mimicked Scar's somber expression.

'Could it be...that there is something else the Garuda tribe wants?' Ricky thought to himself as he tried to dig deeper into the entire situation.

''Ha-ha! You're right. Of course, we have not come here just for the mere Quintessence of Heaven and Earth.'' Garrett's smile was filled with smugness.

''Is that true? Why haven't I heard about it?'' Josiah asked, rather confused.

After all, not a single member of the Garuda tribe had ever set foot on this place. Even if they had, they would not be able to enter the stalactite cave without using the three Blood Essence Stones.

''Josiah, it's not something; it's someone," Garrett explained to his confused companion. "Here's a major clue—he is currently standing right in front of us.''

He then cast his glance at Ricky and said, ''Am I right, Russell?" Not giving Ricky a chance to respond just yet, Garrett added, "Or I should call you Ricky, the ace genius of the Oriental College?''

The atmosphere was filled with deadly silence. Everyone in the cave turned to Ricky, eager for him to respond. They were trying to figure out whether Garrett's words were true or not.

It was at that moment that Josiah and Scar had finally understood why the Garuda tribe sent two completed spiritual kings here.

"It appears that they've finally uncovered my true identity. That makes sense," Ricky murmured. At first he was surprised at the sudden revelation of his identity.

'It's my fault, Ricky. I shouldn't have asked you come with me." Scar apologized. He used telepathy to communicate with Ricky. "Let me fix it. I'll hold them back with my full strength. While they're preoccupied, you shall seize the chance to use your zone and escape." Scar had already made up his mind and decided to sacrifice himself to save Ricky.

Although Scar might not essentially be a good man, he was still, without a doubt, someone who would abide by his words. Since he was responsible for getting Ricky caught in between all that has happened so far, he was determined to help Ricky escape—even at the cost of his own life.

More importantly, he had already signed the bonding contract with Ricky. If Ricky were to die here, right this moment, then Scar's life would not be spared.

"Don't be so pessimistic, Scar. You know we are not bound to die here." Ricky cautioned Scar, who was clearly serious about sacrificing his own life.
