Knowing that Henry looked down on her, Pearl could no longer hide her anger. A look of complete disdain was apparent on her face as she stared at him furiously. The flames of hatred kept burning in her heart as her insidious ferocity appeared in her eyes.
She was very annoyed by what had happened in the Heavenly Passage but she couldn't do anything to Ricky. Henry's remarks only added fuel to the fire so she planned to direct her anger towards him instead.
"Dark power! Have a taste of my whip!" Pearl roared as she summoned her skill.
In the next moment, the dark water suddenly exploded out of Pearl. It flew up in the sky and fused with her Feminine Enlightenment. In a split second, it turned into a long black whip which seemed like a fierce boa constrictor that flooded towards Henry at a very high speed.
Crack! Crack!
Under the extreme power of the dark water, everything that the whip passed through was turned into ice. Suddenly, the cold wind blew dust and dirt up from the ground as her dark power occupied the entire space. It formed into a potent power that shot towards Henry in all directions.
Henry could sense that Pearl had reached a higher level of proficiency in using the dark water than before. A feeling of anxiety washed over him as he was starting to get worried about his future.
"This kind of gloomy power must have come from the dark water!" Henry shouted in surprise as his mouth was agape in horror. His face grew serious as he sensed Pearl's potent power. It had never occurred to him that Pearl could have more tricks up her sleeve.
"That's right! This is the powerful dark water. Anyone who dares to stand in my way shall be turned into an ice sculpture." Pearl's voice was as cold as ice. A vicious look was painted on her face.
"Ha-ha! That is indeed very rude and shameless of you! Do you really think that you can defeat me with your dark water? That could only happen in your dreams! You are obviously over-confident about your little trick!" Henry retorted as he stared back at her. His anxiousness gradually turned into disdain after he heard her arrogance.
"How could he be so confident about the current situation? Is he really not afraid of the dark water? That's strange," Ricky quietly murmured to himself as he stood opposite to Yori and Thiago.
He knew very clearly that the reason why he was able to withstand Pearl's dark water in the last battle was that he possessed the Heaven Illuminating Fire. This skill prevented him from being turned into an ice sculpture. He owed his life to it.
The other sacred fires and the peculiar fires inside his body were not strong enough to shelter him from the dark water given that his current cultivation level was lower than Pearl's. The power of a Treasure from Heaven and Earth depended on the cultivation level of the master who refined it.
As Henry's voice faded away, he flew in the sky and stretched out his hands. In a split second, the Gloomy Enlightenment fused with the Massacring Enlightenment and flowed through his body. As the two kinds of skills united to perfection and generated an enormous amount of power, an atmosphere of horror dominated the entire space. Maybe it was a peculiarity of the Predatory Holy Ant.
Before Pearl could even react, Henry immediately used his Sandy Mutant. A flow of sand shot out from his body and fused with the two kinds of enlightening powers. The powers continued to accumulate inside his body until they reached their limits. They then turned into an enormous fist that fiercely lunged towards Pearl's black whip. A loud bang was heard when they collided with each other in the sky.
But Henry's counter attack didn't do any damage to Pearl. It surprised him to see that the dark water was indeed very powerful to the point that even a middle spiritual king was helpless and couldn't do anything about it.
The moment the two kinds of power collided with each other, Henry failed to activate the power of his fist. He didn't even get a chance to show off his power as Pearl's dark power had already pervaded through the entire space and had frozen everything to death. An overwhelming killing power smothered the entire battlefield as Pearl firmly landed on the ground.
In the aftermath of the fierce collision, everything suddenly felt clear and fresh to Pearl once again. An ice sculpture floating in the air, and it was none other than Henry himself.
"You're too proud of yourself yet you are too weak to stand a chance against me!" Pearl retorted with a smirk as a look of disdain flashed in her very eyes. The reason why she lost the battle to Ricky last time was because the latter possessed the black flame. Since Henry didn't have that skill, she was certain that he was doomed to fail from the beginning.
'So that's it? Pearl won the battle? I expected Henry to have a few more tricks up his sleeve, ' Ricky quietly thought to himself in disbelief. He didn't expect the fight to end so quickly.
It was not because he didn't want Pearl to win the battle. He just had an intuition that Henry would not go down without a good fight. When he looked at Yori and Thiago, he noticed that they didn't seem worried about Henry at all. He then felt that maybe Henry still had some hidden martial skills to fight against Pearl's attack.
"Pearl, you must proceed with extreme caution!" Ricky told Pearl through their telepathic link.
Crack! Crack!
As soon as Ricky warned her about the danger, several small cracks began to appear on the surface of the ice sculpture. Inside the ice, Henry summoned his potent power in an attempt to destroy the thick layer of ice that enveloped him. In the blink of an eye, the ice sculpture shattered and ice shards scattered on the floor. The dark power which dominated him disappeared without a trace. Henry then flew in the sky and glared around with a self-satisfied smirk on his face.
