By now, Karl had gotten his breath back and walked towards Kent.
Although he was still regulating his breath, he knew exactly what had happened just now. He tried to calm down but the shock and amazement that was implanted deep inside of him could not be easily subdued.
As a result of blood essence loss Karl was still frail. It was immensely difficult to recover from this considerable loss. Only Treasures from Heaven and Earth or other advanced medicinal pills and elixirs could cure it.
But this would make no difference in his following battle.
Seeing that Karl had regained consciousness, Ricky's eyes darkened. Kent, already a hard nut to crack, now had Karl as his back-up. This meant that he had to fight against another formidable enemy!
"It will be determined that it was because of my low level of realm!" Ricky sighed to himself.
If only he himself had already reached the seventh grade of Blood Purification. He would stand a much better chance of matching a strong rival like Karl in that case.
Pompeo and Aiden came to help, but were held back by two other disciples. Theo and Kayla were also stopped by Ricky.
It was not because of blind bravery on Ricky's part, but because of the fact that Theo and Kayla were too weak at the moment to win against the two brothers. Kayla could very well be facing the same situation; after all, she had just reached the seventh grade of Blood Purification.
As for Theo, an eighth grade of Blood Purification, was in fact ill-matched with the title. His previous loss of a drop of blood essence had greatly weakened him. Now he was practically only as strong as a warrior in the seventh grade of Blood Purification.
Theo and Kayla felt deep regret. They clearly understood why Ricky had declined their help, and they bitterly lamented not having taken time and efforts in enhancing their skills. They could only stand back and watch.
Karl walked over and pulled Kent up.
As Kent at this moment calmed down, it was no longer possible for him to be provoked and driven mad by Ricky again.
"Well, then you guys come together!" Ricky said, taking a deep breath. A vicious fight was about to break out. Yet Ricky wasn't afraid at all. He still had two aces up his sleeve that were waiting to be used.
"Well, Ricky, I have to admit that you are excellent in both casting of weapons and cultivation of martial arts! I have never seen or heard in these two fields a more talented person than you," Karl said coldly. "But since you are proving to be an annoying obstacle in our path, we will trample you today."
After saying that, crimson lines arose on his skin, an indication that he was about to blast Glyphic Array.
Then the two brothers walked intimidatingly toward Ricky. The smell of death filled the air.
"Brother, obstacles can never be overcome without taking risks. This time let us show him what a real Glyphic Array is!" Karl said.
As a matter of fact, Ricky would have found himself in a very miserable situation if Karl and Kent had applied their previous array-- the Bloodsucking Array.
But there was not enough blood essence for them to do this.
"I know." Kent agreed in a low voice. They had no other choice, despite some reluctance. Ricky was not an easy adversary. He was too strong to be defeated easily.
Between their eye browses a drop of blood emerged. It was the blood essence of the two brothers, which soon merged into their array.
In a flash, the blood essence multiplied the power of their array, and the force of roaring flames inside the cave now turned into a fiery tornado.
"Double Bloodsucking Claws!"
As the two brothers roared, two gory claws came out from their back.
The two bloody talons were much stronger than the previous one formed by Kent. And the array, thanks to the blood essence, demonstrated its real, maximum power.
"Go to hell! You will now have the honor to die from my brother's Glyphic Array!" Karl snarled ferociously while launching an attack with the bloody claws.
