Boom! And in that moment, Luke and Tyler's attack broke the fear and silence. Meanwhile, right in the middle of the sky, a devil's punch appeared.
Despite the devil's punch not being that big in terms of size, the power it generated made Ricky feel a strong irresistible power which was like that of a first-class upper spiritual king.
But Ricky wasn't one of those kinds of people who would never fight back. As defense, he activated his power of the four mutants, along with the power of the eight flames.
However, it didn't help him. Now, he had already reached the peak of his power—that of a second-class upper spiritual king. Although he had cultivated the Massacring Holy Attack and the Shadowy Emperor Replication, he had not yet developed deep understanding on these two cultivation methods. Thus, he was not yet able to challenge anyone that was beyond his level.
Luke and Tyler had already learned that the black flame was known to be the Heaven Illuminating Fire. And with that, they directly separated the Heaven Illuminating Fire using the enlightening power as they were launching their attack.
Just after the clash, Ricky was surprised that his power could not hold off the devil's punch at all. Hit hard by the attack, the second level of Ultimate Golden Body shattered into pieces as it was not able to contain the force that it had received. With this, he fell on the ground along with the clanging of the metals that were destroyed.
At that time, his fall was so heavy that it had even caused to form a deep ditch in the ground along with the cloud of dust that filled the air.
"Ricky!" Scar yelled nervously as he witnessed what had happened. With boiling blood, he activated all of his power in the hopes of saving Ricky from death. However, just as he was charging up, Connor put his hand on his shoulder as he tried to stop him.
Having the heart to stop Scar, Connor seemed to have activated his true power. Although Scar had already summoned all of his power, he was still at a disadvantage.
"Have you felt the desperation and helplessness yet?" Luke and Tyler mocked with hideous faces, as they laughed above the ditch where Ricky lay.
"If so, please tell us, and we will send you to hell to spare you from this kind of desperation. Otherwise, tell me as well so that I will show you the feeling of true desperation!
But we think you will choose the latter because all creatures in the world would like to prolong your last gasp, especially the pathetic ones like you who have never seen the world.
In that case, enjoy being desperate for the second time around!"
Right after finishing their words, Luke and Tyler initiated a very strong attack, which led them to punch a fistful of force towards the ditch.
Looking at how they formed their attack, Ricky realized they didn't really intend to kill him, but rather scare him and teach him how real desperation felt like.
However, Connor saw what the two were planning to do, and shouted angrily, "Luke, Tyler, don't waste any more time. Kill him now!"
As a response, both Luke and Tyler did what they were told without hesitation. Increasing their power, they directed the punch towards the ditch where Ricky was.
Even if Ricky was protected by the second level of Ultimate Golden Body, there was no way that he would be able to survive that kind of a strong punch!
But of course, there was still another option for him—he could hide in one of his four zones.
However, even if he had that option, it would still be the last one on his list, given that he had other choices.
Scott and the other two warriors helped Ricky form a strong defense. It was deemed normal of Scott to help him. But what surprised Ricky the most was that the lord of the Imperial Palace of Wildness and the chief of the Casting Guild went out of their way to help him.
Seeing the set of helping hands that he got, Ricky came to realize and understand that the two of them must really be in a desperate situation. Being masters of strong forces, they could not wait for their fate to be dictated.
With this, they took the opportunity to help and form an alliance with Ricky with the hopes that this would be their last chance to survive.
Upon seeing how the other three warriors held off the attack aimed at him, Ricky prepared his share of the defense. Despite his injury, he condensed all of his power and turned it into the shape of a lotus and defended with the other three mighty warriors who were trying to save him.
Being in the brink of death, his injuries felt nothing to him.
