Chapter 150 The Chance That They Got

To be more precise, the round ended up in a draw. Both of the sides were hurt badly.

Kent and Karl had suffered greater injuries, while Ricky's situation was not very serious in comparison.

"Theo, now! Kill them!" Half kneeling on the ground with one hand holding his weapon to support
himself, Ricky loudly urged Theo into action. It was the best time to kill Karl and Kent once and for all.
Otherwise, they would have enough time to restore their strength. By that time, it would be tricky to
handle them.

"Ricky, now? I... " Ricky's cold-blooded order made Theo hesitate. He had no idea what to do.
Somehow, he felt like killing the men at their weakest was ignominious. Besides, he was a bit scared to
kill a person.

"I'll do it instead!" Kayla stood up and offered. She knew that Theo did not have the heart to butcher
them. So, she took her sword and walked toward Karl and Kent.

She raised her sword high and was ready to pierce them with it.

She did not want to kill people either. Despite that, she understood that if she did not kill them, they
would kill her and her companions. That was just a cruel fact.

"You want to kill us? In your dreams!" Kent roared.

In the next moment, he gathered his last breath and his strength. He forced out a drop of blood
essence from his forehead and threw it toward the array which had almost faded away.

People usually had two types of reactions in such a life or death moment like that. One way to react
was to be too scared to do anything at all, and the other would cause one to fight until their last breath
to try to kill their enemy with everything they had in them. Even if they were going to die, they would not
let their enemy kill them so easily. The latter was exactly what Kent tried to do.



"Kayla! Step back!" Ricky immediately shouted a warning to Kayla in concern.

Luckily, she was agile enough and withdrew back a few steps before he even warned her.

Kent, on the other hand, formed a blood claw, ready to attack again. Seeing Kayla step back, he
decided not to attack her. The primary reason that he did not attack her was because he was not sure
that he could manage to kill her. Kayla was in her prime, after all. What was more, he was losing his
strength after he used a drop of blood essence. That loss of strength had made him extremely weak.

So, he changed his mind. There was another target near him. His new target was Ricky.

Kent turned to Ricky and intended to throw the claw at him. Although the claw only had the power of
the seventh grade of Blood Purification, it was strong enough to kill Ricky, given Ricky's injured body.

"Ricky! Watch out!"

"Ricky!" Theo and Kayla cried out trying to warn Ricky about the claw.

Their warnings were too late. The blood claw already reached and covered Ricky. With a loud bang,
the blood wave had engulfed him.

"Ha-ha, ha-ha! You want to kill me? Well, you can go to hell!" Seeing Ricky covered in the blood claw,
Kent burst into loud peals of laughter with a vicious glare. Soon enough, he stopped laughing and
began to cough loudly before he fell to the ground.

He had already lost two drops of blood essence. In addition, he had suffered from the Devouring Fire.
Now he was starting to approach death.

"Finally, he is dead!" Karl sighed in relief when he saw what happened to Ricky.



As long as Ricky was dead, they could deal with the rest of the guys easily. They could kill Kayla and
Theo at the cost of another drop of blood essence. At this crucial time, their lives were more important
than the blood essence.

If they could succeed in killing all of them, they would be able to enjoy the great power of the dragon
blood in the lava lake. Their hard work would finally pay off!

Of course, that was only what they imagined in their heads.

"Whoosh!"

While they were still day-dreaming about their plan, something unexpected happened. A saber
appeared, flew out from the blood claw, and went through Kent's body in a blur.

Kent stopped laughing abruptly. Slowly, he fell onto the dusty ground with his eyes open wide and a
confused look on his face. Within seconds he was gone.

Meanwhile, Ricky appeared beside Kent's dead body.

He was not as exhausted as he had been earlier anymore. Instead, he was carrying a strong blood
vitality and was almost at his peak power.

"You are the one who died, not me!" Ricky stated in a distant tone as he looked down at Kent's body.
Then, he turned his sharp eye to Karl.

"Are... Are you a ghost?" Karl was stunned and terrified at Kent's sudden demise. He pointed a shaking
finger at Ricky as he stammered in fear. He was so frightened that his brain was hardly functioning.

How could that turn of events be possible? Ricky was so close to death a few moments ago. So, how
did he restore himself and fill himself with energy so quickly? Even if he took some magic pills or used
some Treasures from Heaven and Earth, he should have taken some time to recover!



However, that question would remain a puzzle for him forever. Ricky put his saber against Karl's throat
and swept over it. Soon, Karl's neck was split open before he crumpled to the ground slowly with his
eyes staring up at the sky, lifeless.

"Nothing is impossible! I am a genius, but you two were nothing but fools!" Ricky claimed arrogantly
after Karl drew his last breath.

Needless to say, Ricky employed the Devourer Zone once again.

Before the fight started, he had already transferred the beasts' carcasses into the Devourer Zone. He
refined them to be used as blood vitality by using the Devouring Fire.

By the time Kent had formed the blood claw, he had already absorbed the blood vitality which he
prepared in advance, and gained his strength.

It was his real last stand!

It was probably not the most powerful one, but it was definitely the most surprising and lethal one. It
could save his life in the most crucial and deadly moment. The dead bodies of Kent and Karl were
excellent evidence to prove its effect.

Ricky did not mean to show his most desperate tactic to others. It was not something he would have
usually used. Every time he activated the Devourer Zone in a fight, there was a chance of some hidden
danger. The power brought by the Devourer Zone was not his own power, after all. However, in that
urgent circumstance, he chose to do it. It had been a matter of life and death. Dying there miserably
was not his destiny!

Theo and Kayla were stunned at what they had just seen. Pompeo and Aiden, as well as the other two
disciples of Karl's clan, were just as shocked.



None of them would have guessed that Ricky was able to restore himself in such a short time.

When they realized what they were going to face, they knew they had to run. That was the only thought
left in their minds. All their will to fight collapsed in an instant.

However, it was too late. Pompeo and Aiden had already started their attack too fiercely to allow them
to run away. Ricky, on the other hand, focused his eyes on them.

Next was nothing but the slayers' game.

...

Before long, both of Karl's men were slain by him.

"Ricky, thank you so much! You saved all of us! If you need anything, please feel free to ask it of us!
We will definitely do whatever we can to help you!" Pompeo and Aiden walked to Ricky and thanked
him sincerely after they took back their weapons. They were grateful for what Ricky had done! If it were
not for him, they would have been killed by Karl and his men.

Theo and Kayla also gave a slight bow with both their hands clasped in front of them to express their
appreciation.

Theo's eyes seemed sad as he faced Ricky. He felt like he was a fool for feeling sorry for Karl and Kent
earlier. He even became hesitant when Ricky asked him to kill them. His mercy for those evil men
could have gotten all of them killed!

Deep inside their hearts, all of them were curious about Ricky's behavior. How could he recover so
completely with full energy all of a sudden? Despite being so curious about it, none of them asked.
Ricky did not explain it to them, so they decided to bury their curiosity deep into back of their minds. It
was Ricky's secret, after all. Revealing it was up to him whether he chose to tell them or not.



"I will surely come to you when I need your help, so thank you for the future possible help. Anyway, we
are a team. I consider keeping all of us alive my responsibility!" Ricky responded with a smile on his
face.

"Let's regroup ourselves here before we go and check what kind of interesting thing is hidden in the
lake! Hurry up, guys!" Ricky suggested.

"No problem!" echoed everyone else. Ricky, Pompeo, and Aiden then sat on the ground with their legs
crossed and began to gather and recover their energies. About one hour later, their breathing became
peaceful as they calmed themselves down.

They opened their eyes and then turned their eyes to the lake of lava that was filled with dragon blood.

"Oh, let's go and check this out! It's so powerful. It's definitely the Great Dragon's blood! Unfortunately,
it already integrated into the lava in the lake. How can we extract the blood to refine it? This is a big
problem!" Pompeo said.

"Let me give it a try!" Ricky replied with a decisive look in his eyes.

"How are you going to do it?" Kayla asked with a puzzled look.

Ricky smiled confidently. He took off his clothes, and then jumped into the lake without any hesitation.

"No, Ricky! It's too dangerous!" Seeing what Ricky intended to do, Theo immediately shouted out to try
and stop him. However, it was already too late.

The moment Ricky jumped into the lake full of dragon blood and lava, he felt like his whole body was
burning. He initiated his spiritual energy to resist the burning sensation. Luckily, it worked. He felt much
better and relieved thanks to his spiritual energy.
