After Chad took Antony's mutant power, he began to adjust his breath. Although he didn't unleash all his power against Antony, he still consumed a lot of energy, so he needed some time to recover.
Besides, it would take him some time to digest Antony's mutant power too.
Ricky and Chad had enough time to regain their energy and power.
Soon, ten days had passed, and the two Combat Spaces where Ricky and Chad were had become one.
All the warriors gradually forgot about Antony's death except for the people from the Zang Clan. That was the reality of the martial arts world. It didn't matter how talented a warrior was when he was alive. He would be easily forgotten once death claimed him.
Perhaps, some warriors might mention Antony once or twice. But from the moment of his death, the majority had turned their back on him.
At this moment, everyone's attention was firmly on Ricky and Chad.
"It looks like my intuition was right. I had suspected you would win before you fought with Antony," Ricky commented as he looked at Chad who stood opposite him. From the moment he laid his eyes on Chad, he found his aura familiar to him, and his intuition told him that Chad was stronger than Mike and Antony.
"My intuition recognized that Mike is no match for you, and it turns out that I was right," Chad responded with narrowed eyes.
"But I'm afraid you are wrong. I didn't beat my opponent. I took out him," he went on. His voice came in a menacing tone that even Ricky's hair stood on its end.
'His murderous intent is terrifying!' Ricky thought in astonishment.
He couldn't help but ask, "Are—are you saying you killed Antony?"
"I never let my opponents live, so don't act so surprised. And besides, you have nothing to do with Antony, right? Why are you acting like this?
You, yourself, are a ruthless person too. Don't pretend," scoffed Chad.
Ricky fell silent for a few moments after he confirmed Antony's death.
His eyebrows furrowed in thought before he asked, "I felt your killing intent too. Is that because you want me dead? That's not created by the strength you cultivated, right?"
Chad had clearly told him that their fight would not end until one of them was dead.
Moreover, although his intuition told him that Chad felt familiar, he was definitely not a friend of Ricky's.
"That's right. I want your head," admitted Chad frankly. "The truth is that I'm here because of you. Of course, I will also take Paul's inheritance with me after I take you out."
"You are here because of me? Who the hell are you?" Ricky asked with a dark scowl after hearing Chad's strange statement.
"It sounds like you are not even from this continent..." After thinking for a moment, Ricky added suspiciously,
"Are you from the devil race? Although you don't have their aura..."
"Those devils are low-born creatures. How dare you compare them to me? In my eyes, the so-called creatures from the continent and the devil race are mere playthings. They don't deserve my attention.
Of course, you are an exception. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here for you in person," explained Chad. He had a snobby frown and a sullen look on his face.
"What a conceited fellow! You even take us and the devils for playthings," Ricky replied with a disdainful smile. At that moment, his heart grew heavy with uncertainty.
In addition to the continent and the Devil Land, he could only think of one more place—the legendary Celestial Land.
During his journey in the Realm of Wildness, he had met creatures from the Celestial Land in the Sky Manor. It was where he had acquired the first fragment of the mysterious axe.
"Could this Chad guy be from the Celestial Land?" Ricky immediately asked the Dragon Intent Grass.
"Perhaps. I won't be surprised if he is. After all, he doesn't sound like he is lying. I'm afraid that it's highly possible that he came from the Celestial Land," replied the Dragon Intent Grass casually.
"It seems like the war between the continent and the devil race is about to start once again. Even the Celestial Land's creatures have begun to show up.
