Chapter 1257 Comprehend Something

Everything happened so quickly that Hayes had no time to react. His eyes widened in shock as he
desperately tried to process what just happened.

The tiger was undoubtedly as powerful as a three-star lower spiritual emperor at the peak state, and
Hayes' strength was at that level too. He had unleashed his most powerful attack on the tiger, but the
beast shattered his attack like it was nothing. Neither he nor his companions had expected that it could
actually use the bloody evil power inside the water.

Fortunately, Hayes was an experienced fighter. So even though the tiger took him by surprise, he
quickly came back to his senses. He stepped back in one quick movement and successfully dodged its
attack.

"It looks like he is having a hard time taking the beast down because it's using the bloody evil power in
the water to its advantage," Ricky muttered lowly. "That means the tiger is more powerful than an
ordinary three-star lower spiritual emperor at peak state."

Despite knowing how strong the tiger was, Ricky, Mordechai, and Ashley didn't make a move to help
Hayes. That was because the tiger was still weaker than Hayes, no matter how strong it was.

Once Hayes had steadied himself, he began to transform. Wisps of white energy gushed out from his
body, as his pupils turned as pale as the moon. What was more, a white shadow emerged behind him.

At this point, he looked like an angel of justice.

"Well, it looks like you did well. Hayes indeed has a talent for using the Justice Skill. He has even
mastered ten percent of the Holy Three-Saber's justice heritage," the Dragon Intent Grass uttered as it
looked at Hayes with admiration.

Meanwhile, Ricky, Mordechai, and Ashley were also studying his movements intently.



They saw countless floating sabers surround Hayes like a shield as he unleashed an ungodly amount
of justice power.

These sabers were Ultimate Justice Sabers.

Meanwhile, the tiger failed to hit its target but it heedlessly moved forward. Perhaps, it had sensed the
increase in Hayes' power, so it flapped its wings hard and gathered all the bloody evil power from the
water it could.

With a fearsome roar, the water transformed into tiger shadows in a split-second. These shadows held
enormous bloody evil power, which made them so powerful that they could probably tear the space
with just the tip of their claws. As one, all the tiger shadows lunged toward Hayes.

Hayes stood firm in the face of this attack, and he let fly two of his sabers into the air.

His weapons darted forward and moved around in circles as if an invisible force was keeping them
tethered.

In no time at all, a circular justice power emerged from the water. The two sabers converged amid the
justice power and fused into a single, larger saber.

Due to the circular justice power, all the tiger shadows began to converge in one area as if attracted by
an unseen force. The shadows then appeared to be forcefully merged into a single force.

The newly formed larger saber ran the force through, shattering it to minute sand-like pieces until it
finally dissolved into nothingness.

"The justice power is close to the heavenly law, which is how this guy successfully summoned the more
powerful heavenly power. He then used the heavenly power to consolidate the enemy's attack so that



he could break it in one strike. I have to admit that the justice power suits Hayes very well. It feels like
he was born to cultivate it.

He will likely perform better than you in this aspect," the Dragon Intent Grass bluntly remarked.

"In that case, I think I've finally found a successor befitting the Holy Three-Saber," Ricky answered,
nodding thoughtfully.

Of course, when the tiger saw that its attack had failed, it grew even more aggravated.

This response was quite natural, though, because the tiger was formed by the pure fighting energy and
had no capacity for intelligent thought.

The stronger its opponent was, the more eager it became. As it growled, the reddish-yellow part of its
body turned into a blood dark color. It seemed like it had become one with the water made of bloody
evil power.

Together with its color change, the tiger's strength had also improved.

Its roar extended endlessly as the tremendous bloody evil power surrounded its body like a crimson
cloud.

With every second that passed, more and more bloody evil power began to appear. It turned into
fiendish power, which was one of the most potent powers from hell.

"I can't believe that beasts without psychic intelligence like this can create fiendish power with the
bloody evil power," the Dragon Intent Grass asserted. "The pure fighting energy formed by the strength
and fighting spirit of top warriors in ancient times is indeed amazing."

When Ricky sensed the terrifying fiendish power evolved from the bloody evil power, a gleam
involuntarily flashed through his eyes.



Even stranger, something seemed off with the Devourer Zone in his body.

Of course, Ricky immediately realized what was going on soon after.

He thought that it must have had something to do with the bloody evil power and the fiendish power.

Ricky remained calm as he began to check the Devourer Zone using his mind.

He vaguely spotted an area full of bloody evil power in its depths. That bloody evil power must be from
hell, and the power in the middle of that area was even stronger than the bloody evil power.

That mysterious power could only be the fiendish power.

At that moment, Ricky abruptly realized something.

'My Devouring Zone was produced by the blood vitality and other blood killing energy. Thus, it consists
of bloody evil power. Furthermore, bloody evil power can evolve into fiendish power. That power has
always been inside my body, but I have never noticed it before. It was only awakened after the tiger
used the bloody evil power inside the water,'

he thought to himself.

Ricky immediately activated the Devouring Mutant and sat down cross-legged.

In the next breath, the Devourer Zone materialized behind him.

Meanwhile, Mordechai and Ashley were surprised when they saw Ricky abruptly enter the state of
cultivation.

But when they caught sight of his Devouring Mutant, they, too, realized what was going on.



"The devouring ability and bloody evil power originated from the same thing. It looks like he has
learned something from this tiger," Mordechai guessed. "I think it's his talent that contributes to his
terrifying strength instead of his six mutants."

When Ashley heard this, she couldn't help but look at Ricky.

On the other hand, the fiendish power created by the bloody evil power had formed a huge claw in front
of the tiger's forehead. The energy that the giant claw released spread as it rushed toward Hayes.

Sensing the power in the upcoming blow, Hayes went all out and unleashed all his justice power. "Chop
it, my saber!"

The justice power swiftly turned into a saber and landed in his right hand.

He then threw the saber toward the tiger.

It soon caused waves to appear on the surface of the water, leaving violent shockwaves in its wake. In
no time at all, it stabbed through the giant claw that the fiendish power had created.

But it didn't stop there. It kept going until all the fiendish power around it had dispersed.

And when there was finally nothing in its way, the saber darted towards the tiger's forehead. Hayes
smiled triumphantly, for he thought that this strike would end the beast's life.

However, something unexpected happened.

The tiger let out another fearsome roar, and its blood-black skin turned reddish-yellow. Moreover, all its
power transformed into the fighting power.

It was, without a doubt, the beast's peak fighting form.



Due to the fighting power, the water poured out of the space and engulfed everything with fighting
power instantly.

Consequently, Hayes', Ricky's, Mordechai's, and Ashley's fighting spirit roused once again.

It felt like the blood in their brains were about to burst out from their bodies at any time.

Mordechai immediately unleashed his power, thoughtfully shielding Ricky from the tiger's fighting
power.

After all, a warrior couldn't be disturbed during his cultivation, and Ricky was in the middle of
comprehending things now.

"Hayes, end this fight already! The strong fighting power is going to interfere with Ricky's
comprehension," Mordechai called out to Hayes, who immediately nodded in understanding.

"Understood!" he replied briefly.

With saber shadows covering his white eyes, Hayes' body began to transform once again.

"I need to borrow your power, Shadow Sword Mutant!" he yelled out.
