Transforming into a human, Henry stared blankly on the ground with a gloomy look on his face.
Henry still couldn't believe what happened in front him. He thought that he was undeterred by failures and was good at keeping his cool in times of crisis. He thought that he was able to appear composed despite the immense pressure he was under. But after the battle, he started to wonder whether he had been misjudging himself, he was beginning to think that perhaps he was not as potent as he thought he was.
During the fierce battle, Henry was totally dumbfounded by Ricky's overwhelming strength. A feeling of sheer panic took over him as his confidence was badly shaken.
After being lost in thought for a few seconds, he soon regained his composure. Although he had an outward appearance of calmness, he still couldn't fully recover from the shock.
"What kind of skill was that? I'm not sure if my eyes were fooling me but I think I saw you turn into an invisible storm and then teleport away. Even the burying force wouldn't have been enough to stop you," Terrence asked curiously with a serious look on his face.
He was very impressed by the powerful strength and martial skill shown by Ricky. After the battle, he came to a realization that Ricky was indeed a rare genius in the world of martial arts. He had to admit that Ricky still had a few tricks of unexpected strength up his sleeve.
One thing Terrence was certain of was that Henry would not stand against Ricky if the former didn't possess the Sandy Mutant.
"Shit! How did he even do it? It seems to me that he didn't use the spiritual space tool at all. His teleportation skill probably evolved from some secret martial skill. How was he able to learn such potent skill?" Justin gave out a roar as he clenched his fists.
"Since you had treated me similarly before, I decided to give you a taste of your own medicine. Do you have any problem with that?" Ricky coldly asked.
"No." Henry's voice burst out with a dominant aura exuding from within him. He didn't try to deny what he had done to Ricky. Seeing Ricky's smug face, Henry had a strong urge to hit him in the face but circumstances wouldn't allow it.
It suddenly hit Henry that losing the battle to Ricky might be the least of his worries. Because he clearly knew that Ricky didn't consume any of his energy when he used the last powerful skill. So it probably meant there was no limit in Ricky's strength whenever he summoned his skills. He was almost unbeatable in combat.
In that case, even if Henry used his Sandy Mutant, it still wouldn't do anything. No matter how potent his skill was, it was virtually impossible to defeat Ricky. If he continued to fight, he would be confronted by a very serious dilemma and might even face risks of serious danger.
"Do you want to continue the battle?" asked Ricky with a faint smile on his face.
"Of course not," Henry unwillingly replied. "I will leave with them and I hope that you will not stop us. If we were to keep on fighting like that, both of us would only suffer great losses."
"Henry, I can't believe that you are just going to give up the Glazed Fruits that easily!" Justin snarled as his eyebrows furrowed. It had never occurred to him that Henry would give up their pursuit of the Glazed Fruits.
Instead of answering his question, Henry simply looked at him with a frigid stare.
The way Henry stared at him almost made his flesh tremble. He swallowed his anger and went silent. Justin then thought that since they were struck here, they might as well make the best out of it. Henry had done whatever he could do to save their lives. If it had not been for Henry, they would have died in the battle. Justin knew clearly that he couldn't even defeat Terrence by himself, let alone Ricky.
Even if he could find a way to defeat Ricky, he would still have a hard time figuring out a solution to escape from the Virulent Sand Flow.
Although he was seething with anger, he just gritted his teeth without uttering a single word.
"So you are just going to leave with these four people from the Bing Clan?" Ricky asked curiously out of confusion. It was odd that Henry didn't mention the Glazed Fruits at all.
'Even if he asked for the Glazed Fruits, I will definitely not give them to him. What surprised me most was that Henry didn't even try to mention them, ' Ricky quietly thought to himself.
"You must be really surprised that I will leave without the Glazed Fruits," Henry calmly said as he stared at Ricky with a solemn expression.
"Of course. I find it extremely odd that despite being an innate spiritual king, you decided to give up the Glazed Fruits," Ricky stated frankly as his voice suddenly became more serious.
"You are right. None of the other innate spiritual kings are able to resist the temptations of the Glazed Fruits." A deep furrow appeared between Henry's brows. "And I'm no exception, I'm desperate for them too. But will you give them to me if I asked for them?"
"No way!" Ricky firmly replied with a domineering look on his face.
