"What? Why did that guy stop? Did he sense me?" Seeing that Thomas had stopped, Ricky was very curious as to why.
While Ricky was watching him closely in curiosity, Thomas took out a white jade tablet from his bag.
"It's over now, and the Bronze Key should be presented to the Shadow King," Thomas said, while looking at the white jade tablet. Then, it was apparent that he intended to crush the white jade tablet within his hand.
However, at that moment, a blade made of flame suddenly sprang up through the air, and suddenly slashed at Thomas's wrist.
If Thomas was to react a little slowly to the attack, his hand would inevitably be cut off. Nevertheless, Thomas's reaction was quite rapid. It could be said that he was always alert and on guard, so he sensed it the moment the blade of flame appeared out of thin air.
Thomas dropped the white jade tablet before he could manage to crush it.
In the instant the white jade tablet was dropped, Ricky appeared. He caught the white jade tablet and directly put it into the Chaotic Fire Zone.
"Hey, it's not over yet. Isn't it a bit rash for you to think you're ready to finish up all your plans?" Ricky said a little lazily as he put his arms up to stretch luxuriously.
Compared to Ricky's lackadaisical demeanor, Thomas looked a lot more serious. He was immediately shocked, and could not believe he had been followed by someone.
Ricky's appearance was very sudden and unexpected. It was like an innate spiritual king that could tear up the space showing up. Thomas could still feel that Ricky's realm seemed to be lower than his own.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Thomas asked coldly. Although he was shocked, Thomas had not lost his cool completely. He decided he should figure out what was happening first.
From that point of view, it could be observed that Thomas was able and crafty, so Ricky could not help but treat him seriously. Ricky never dared to underestimate or had contempt for such a strong and wary adversary.
"It doesn't matter who I am. It's important that I also want that Bronze Key and the eight storage bags that you have looted. Will you give them to me?" Ricky smiled gently.
"Ha-ha!" After hearing Ricky's words, Thomas couldn't help but burst into loud and body wracking laughter that echoed over the area they stood in.
"So, you think my request is funny?" Ricky asked flatly.
"Don't you think it's funny? How can you think that you could ever match up to me in battle? Is it just because you can suddenly appear from nowhere? That only means that you have a strong stealth ability, or that you have magic tools with you. In terms of strength, you're very ordinary judging from that strike just now," Thomas retorted with a chuckle.
"Ha-ha! You have made a thorough analysis of me, but you can't really know whether you are right or wrong," Ricky said.
At the same time, Ricky had some speculation about his true identity. Could Thomas be a member of the Endless Shadow? Firstly, he was calm and indifferent; secondly, he liked to cut throats when he killed someone. All those characters were quite in line with the profession of a hired killer.
"Well, right or wrong can't be judged verbally. Now, I'm also interested in your impressive ability with stealth. Either way, we're at odds, so let's just let our actions speak for us!" Thomas sneered.
Immediately, Thomas's momentum, that was from his cultivation at the fifth grade of Bone Reinforcement, powered up. As soon as he had gathered his energy, he lunged straight for Ricky.
"Before we fight, I'd like to know if you're one of the Endless Shadow members?" Ricky asked with a smile on his face.
"Huh? Why do you ask that?" Thomas was a little surprised to hear what Ricky had asked him. The surprised look on his face had easily proven that Ricky had guessed correctly.
Thomas apparently did not intend to hide his true identity though. The reason he didn't hide who he was, was because Ricky was already a dead man in his eyes.
"It seems that you shadows can appear anywhere. Where ever we go, there are you guys." Ricky sighed slightly. He had become more alert to the Endless Shadows over time because there used to be killers of the Endless Shadow in the Snow Sect.
Of course, Ricky was still uncertain about whether there were traitors and moles in the Snow Sect anymore or not.
