The legendary warrior novel Chapter 165

The Golden Iron Rod, with its tremendous momentum and power—the combined strength of two kinds of Beast Fire⁠—launched a roaring fire towards Ricky. Ivan thought that Ricky should have been overwhelmed after being attacked by such a strong force even if he had already reached the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula.

But to his surprise, there was no hint of fear in Ricky's eyes. In fact, he wore a smirk and even laughed really loud in a dismissive manner.

After a few seconds, Ricky retreated almost all of the powers on his body, except for the power of Devouring Fire. Ivan then saw that Ricky's whole body was filled with bloody flame.

But Ricky wasn't done. He threw a flame punch straight toward Ivan's Golden Iron Rod!

Ivan finally broke into a series of derisive laughter. Then, he spoke, "Are you scared or what?" Ivan was rather pleased to see Ricky's counterattacks, which he thought was stupid.

However, if one looked closely, there was also a trace of vigilance in his gleaming eyes. After so many times of being in battle with Ricky, Ivan pretended to look down on him. But deep inside, he knew all along that Ricky was a genius whose talents surpassed him, whether in martial art skills or weapon casting. Otherwise, he wouldn't be that eager to kill Ricky.

Based on how Ivan knew Ricky, his counterattack at the moment should not be that weak. Ivan was then worried that Ricky might have some tricks behind his moves. Therefore, besides being glad, he was likewise vigilant.

Bang! Ricky's punch hit the Golden Iron Rod. Immediately, the two kinds of powerful energies were head to head against each other. Of course, at that very moment, Ivan's force was far greater than Rick's.

In this duel, Ricky would almost certainly lose.

However, everything took a 360 degrees turn the next second. Ricky's Devouring Fire exploded all of sudden and with its bloody mouth, it began to easily devour the two kinds of Beast Fire on Ivan's Golden Iron Rod.

In a split second, more than half of the two kinds of Beast Fire were swallowed, while the power of the Golden Iron Rod was also weakened by more than half!

Puff! Being caught off guard, Ivan spewed out a lot of blood.

The two kinds of Beast Fire were connected with his veins. Even if he were to lose just one, he would be seriously injured. At that moment, however, both kinds of Beast Fire were swallowed up by more than half!

"No way! How could that bloody flame devour my Beast Fire!" Ivan screamed at the top of his lungs. He felt insulted with what had just happened.

He was already cautious with any of Ricky's further attacks and had made a lot of preparations for them. Yet, he could have never imagined that Ricky's next attack would be this strange bloody flame and that it could devour his Beast Fire so easily.

It turned out that Ivan's preparations were just in vain. As a matter of fact, he could only be attacked and had no way to counterattack. The facts had been revealed at last!

However, Ivan was quite stubborn and ruthless. He definitely would not give up and admit his failure so easily.

After the initial shock while denying it for a while, Ivan immediately abandoned all the power of the two kinds of Beast Fire on the Golden Iron Rod. Then, he withdrew the Golden Iron Rod and quickly retreated.

Of course, the consequence of abandoning all of that power was that his combat capabilities had been greatly reduced. He would also be susceptible to the counterattack force of the Beast Fire which was apparent from Ivan's pale face and constant spitting of blood.

At that moment, it would be fair and safe to say that Ricky would win the battle.

"Y-your flame..." Ivan struggled to say as he staggered and shoot daggers with his eyes at Ricky.

"If you used any other martial art skills, who wins and who loses today would be uncertain, but unfortunately, you use the power of your Beast Fire. I think you're asking for death. Do you have any idea how Andrew died? He died by using the power of Beast Fire in trying to kill me! Nevertheless, I killed him just like the way I'm going kill you." Ricky emphasized on his words while he withdrew his Devouring Fire.

"What kind of Beast Fire are you using?" Ivan asked reluctantly.

"You have no right to know that. Go to hell and ask Satan instead!" Ricky retorted.
