However, no matter how greedy they were, they couldn't get their hands on the Blood Beast King.
"This Blood Beast King has the power of a two-star lower spiritual emperor at the peak state. How will Ricky deal with it?" some warriors commented doubtfully.
"Although his real body is at his last breath, his two Shadowy Replications are definitely going to help him hold on for a while.
Then once he recovers, the Blood Beast King will be like child's play for him."
Just as those warriors expected, Ricky's two Shadowy Replications helped him resist the Blood Beast King for two hours. At this time, both Shadowy Replications showed great power, as both were close to a two-star lower spiritual emperor at peak state.
Thankfully, they were enough to withstand the attack from the Blood Beast King.
Ricky recovered some of his strength later, so he wasted no time joining the battle. As soon as he could, he immediately jumped in to help his Shadowy Replications fight off the Blood Beast King.
After several rounds, a blade light suddenly fell from between the Blood Beast King's eyebrows, and its fighting instinct completely disappeared. It stopped moving and stood as still as a marble statue.
When Ricky saw this, he immediately jumped in with his Iron Justice Saber and slashed down again, cutting the Blood Beast King in half.
He had intended to take half of its body for himself, while he reserved the other half for Edie and Winifred, as promised. After all, Ricky had no intention of going back on his word. And besides, he desperately needed the Wind-Mountain Alliance's Transmission Array, especially after he had killed Lundy.
However, something extraordinary happened at this moment.
When Ricky parted the Blood Beast King's body into halves, a flag abruptly flew out from within the confines of its body.
It was a five-colored flag, which appeared to be integrated with five different worlds. The five colors respectively released the power of the five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The flag was also emitting some kind of majestic and intense power.
"Damn! Isn't that a sacred weapon?" Ricky blurted out in astonishment, and his eyes widened with awe.
As a casting master close to the Demi-sage Level, Ricky could undoubtedly recognize a sacred weapon.
"Yes, that is indeed a sacred weapon!" the Dragon Intent Grass responded, while Tina nodded and hummed in agreement as well.
"Look! It's a sacred weapon!" Those onlookers watching from outside couldn't believe their eyes, and once they realized what was happening, their eyes lit up with greed. Sacred weapons were precious in everybody's eyes. Even the saints would try their best to fight for one, not to mention them, lower spiritual emperors.
At this time, none of the warriors noticed Ashley's and Raylan's reaction.
At first, they looked exhilarated, as if they had seen something precious that they had lost for a long time.
But the excitement quickly disappeared from their faces, and an expression of gloom replaced it, for they realized that they would never get that flag.
"What an unexpected surprise!" Ricky also laughed in delight but didn't take the flag immediately.
After all, it was a sacred weapon, so it must have some hidden power.
The flag was currently floating in midair without any movements, looking harmless at first glance.
"Don't worry, Ricky. I don't think there is any hermit spirit in this flag," the Dragon Intent Grass surmised after a few seconds of observation.
"I think so too. If there were indeed a hermit spirit in there, the flag wouldn't be reacting like this. Look, it looks so confused as if it has no way to go," replied Ricky. "It seems that I am really very luck. It would be much easier to subdue the flag without a hermit spirit after all."
Ricky leaped up without any hesitation at the next moment, and his ruling power turned into a big hand, which suppressed the flag.
In turn, the flag resisted with all its might, but just as Ricky had thought, it didn't have any hermit spirit.
Even though it was a sacred weapon, it couldn't resist Ricky. Moreover, the flag seemed to have some defects.
It wasn't long before Ricky obtained the flag.
However, it continued to resist him.
"Wow. Ricky easily subdued the sacred weapon. Is it really that weak?" All the onlookers were astonished. At first, they didn't know which one to doubt: Ricky or the sacred weapon.
