Chapter 278 The Fight Against Nathan
Chapter 278 The Fight Against Nathan
The man's arrogant words were like stones being thrown into a pool. They rippled out, affecting
everyone in the area. Immediately, all the warriors in the courtyard of the Manor Gang directed their
attention towards the spot that the sound had come from.
After a while, a young man in black walked up to the gate of the Manor Gang's castle. The person who
appeared at the gate was Ricky, one of the leaders of the Manor Gang.
Meanwhile, the warriors also realized that there was a strange red snake that was wrapped around his
right arm and shoulder. It was actually a real dragon, who could turn into a human, and its name was
Soar.
"Leader Russell!" the members of the Manor Gang exclaimed respectfully and excitedly. The
excitement only lasted for a few seconds though. Even though Ricky was someone that every member
of the Manor Gang loved, they were also worried that Ricky was not as powerful as Tyson and Kristen.
That made them believe that the tricky situation they were facing could not be resolved, even with the
help of several more leaders like Russell. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Then, a warrior at the fifth grade of Bone Reinforcement stepped out and irritably asked, "Who the hell
are you? How dare you yell like that? Humph, I guess you really want to die young!"
The warrior was obviously from the Arhat Palace. What Ricky had said earlier had seriously insulted
Nathan, the third young master of the Arhat Palace. After he finished his speaking, he furiously threw a
punch at Ricky.
When seeing the furious punch that was coming toward him, Ricky didn't dodge. Instead, he stomped
his feet and planted them firmly into the ground. Then, he threw a punch and swooped toward the
warrior who had attacked him at his maximum speed. The next second, those watching only saw that
Ricky's punch had hit the warrior's square in the chest. Everything just happened too fast to see clearly.
The warrior didn't even have time to react.
Without any warning, an intense thud rang out. It was because the warrior at the fifth grade of Bone
Reinforcement had collapsed to the ground. He obviously had stopped breathing after the hit because
his chest had been pierced through by it.
Everyone was wondering what had happened. Ricky killed a warrior who was at the peak of the fifth
grade of Bone Reinforcement within just a few seconds.
How could Ricky do that so easily? One of the reasons was that the warrior at the top of the fifth grade
of Bone Reinforcement wouldn't have thought that Ricky could burst out his full power within such a
short time and at such a fast speed.
"It looks like you're the one who has died young!" Ricky muttered indifferently.
'Oh, god! He has made new progress in his skills again!' both Tyson and Kristen thought that to
themselves after they witnessed Ricky killing the warrior.
Boom! The other warriors and the Elder at the ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement from the Arhat
Palace immediately released their strongest momentum. They were furious and eager to seek revenge
for the murder of their fallen companion. Before they could, they were stopped by Nathan, their third
young master. He was deeply offended by Ricky's words and he actually wanted to avenge the fallen
warrior by himself.
Nathan took a step forward with a little bit of a tight smile and said, "It seems that you are the third
leader of the Manor Gang, the one who hides your power. You know what? Among all the warriors in
the Lower Region, you are the first one who had the nerve to kill a warrior from the Arhat Palace."
Although Nathan was smiling, everyone could see that there was strong murderous intent burning in
his eyes.
"I don't care what the hell the Arhat Palace is. Anyone who tries to bully the Manor Gang will be killed
by me!" Ricky responded coldly.
Nathan could no longer be so calm and reserved after he heard Ricky's insolent threat. His smile
immediately vanished and his eyes narrowed, growing dark and sharp. Deep inside, he was screaming,
thinking to himself, 'Who the hell are you? A small pest from the Manor Gang in the Lower Region?!
What makes you think you can speak so arrogantly to somebody from the illustrious Arhat Palace?'
Most members of the Manor Gang even were worried that Ricky was being too obviously arrogant and
they all desperately wanted him to take his words back before he got himself killed. As one of the demi-
immortal forces, the Arhat Palace was really too strong to be challenged. What was nagging at the
back of their minds was that, after its warriors were irritated by Ricky, the consequence would probably
be severe. They thought that all the Manor Gang members and their castle would be turned into ashes.
As for Tyson and Kristen, they were used to Ricky's arrogance because they were his long-term
teammates. Since they traveled together, they couldn't be more aware of his character. Ricky would
just become more arrogant as the situation went on.
Of course, they thought that Ricky was so confident because he could use the innate spiritual ball to
fight against those people from the Arhat Palace.
Meanwhile, the warriors from the Arhat Palace were so furious that the blazing flames in their eyes
looked as if they could burn up the Manor Gang's castle. The third young master, Nathan, hadn't given
out an order of attack yet, so they had to wait. They believed that they could raze the whole Manor
Gang to the ground when the order was given.
"Interesting! This is very interesting! For quite a long time, nobody has been so bold as to talk to me
like that!" Nathan said grimly while his eyes grew darker and heavier.
He had been longing to tease Kristen again, but he had to put that longing aside since Ricky had
challenged him.
"Well, you are the third leader of the Manor Gang?! Since you just mentioned needing a plaything, then
I will fight against you next. I'm going to make you become my plaything and experience what real
torment truly means," Nathan added heavily.
Boom!
Immediately, he was exuding the momentum of a warrior who was at the sixth grade of Bone
Reinforcement. Black and yellow spiritual energy were surrounding his body. In the next second, he
threw a punch toward Ricky.
Seeing that their master had started the fight up, the warriors from the Arhat Palace surrounded Kristen
and her other companions, but they didn't attack their enemies. Their master hadn't ordered them to do
that yet.
Obviously, Nathan had established his authority among his followers. It was clear that they were quite
afraid of him. They would never act on their own without his express orders because of that.
'You are at the sixth grade of Bone Reinforcement. That's good! This is an opportunity for me to try my
new skills on you, ' Ricky thought to himself as he detected Nathan's real power. At the thought, he
released his strong flame spiritual energy. The aura of the power immediately covered his whole body.
The next moment, he launched a flaming fist, which collided violently with Nathan's punch a few
seconds after he threw it.
When their attacks collided, Ricky put all of his strength into the effort. He directly triggered the power
of the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula and burst out the Fire Cloud Fist skill. He
did it in an attempt to increase his momentum and strength to their maximum potential.
To hone his martial arts skills, he was going to try everything he had learned out on Nathan. More
importantly, he wanted to defeat him completely. He didn't have any respect for the warriors from the
Arhat Palace and that was why he wanted to crush them into the dirt. To be more exact, he had equal
disdain for all of the Eight Demi-immortal Forces of the Upper Region.
Due to the peak power of Ricky's Fire Cloud Fist, plus his Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining
Formula, Nathan was forced to retreat by Ricky's attack after less than ten rounds of battle. That left a
line of shameful footprints in the dust of the courtyard.
"I will do everything in my power to kill you!" Nathan blurted out angrily. Ricky made him lose face in
front of his subordinates and especially in front of the beautiful Kristen, so he was humiliated and
offended yet again.
"Arhat Dark Power!"
Nathan gnashed his teeth and summoned his new power. In an instant, the black and yellow spiritual
energy on his body became red. The scarlet energy surrounded him.
The scarlet spiritual energy surged, converging violently on Nathan's arms.
"Arhat Encircling Palms!"
Then with a loud roar, Nathan threw his palms forward and launched a new attack against Ricky. The
strong spiritual energy, turning into countless thin scarlet streams, quickly intertwined with each other
and finally formed two palms like scarlet nets. Such an attack was called the Arhat Encircling Palms.
Then, Ricky found that the two palms made of energy were getting closer to him, trying to sandwich
him from either side and crush him into nothing.
Without the slightest hint of fear, he hummed coldly, "The Arhat Encircling Palms? What a bull shit
attack! Try to withstand my punch instead!" Meanwhile, two kinds of runes were gushing out of his body
and condensed into his two fists. The runes were the devouring and chaotic fire runes.
'Fire Cloud Fist—Double Cloud Fire Fists!'
Ricky roared violently in his head, and as if being summoned, the flame spiritual energy inside his body
gushed out and was transformed into two fierce Fire Clouds that surrounded Ricky's fists, merging with
the two runes.
At that moment, Ricky's momentum was twice what it was at the beginning of the fight.
Then, the two Fire Cloud Fists swooped violently towards Nathan's Arhat Encircling Palms separately.
After a few seconds, the two powers finally collided with each other.
Boom!
The sound of the earsplitting collision burst out. The audience found that the two warriors were still
competing with each other violently through their powerful skills.
Everyone soon found out that Ricky's power was superior to his opponent's power. His devouring runes
were engulfing Nathan's power while his chaotic fire runes were releasing frenzy power, directly
crushing Nathan's palm attacks at that moment.
After that, Ricky shifted his position as quickly as he could. He suddenly appeared at Nathan's side and
launched another Fire Cloud Fist attack against him.
Nathan already felt great panic at the situation and realized he had no more aces up his sleeve.
Instinctively, he crossed his arms to resist Ricky's attack.
There was a sudden loud sound of something hitting against the ground abruptly. The sound came
from Nathan. He had lost his advantage and was no longer an equal adversary to Ricky. After being
attacked by Ricky, he soon leaked blood from the corners of his mouth and hit the ground hard.
"Now, prepare to die!" Ricky roared furiously again, pulling out the Iron Destroyer from behind his back
and slashing it down directly toward Nathan who was still on the ground. Ricky wanted to kill him in one
shot.
"Russell, be careful!" Tyson reminded Ricky abruptly as he swung his saber downward.
Without much thought, Ricky already knew that, to prevent him from killing Nathan, the strongest
warrior from the Arhat Palace at the ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement must have launched an abrupt
attack against him. Despite his awareness of that fact, Ricky grinned and was still slashing his saber
down towards Nathan, totally ignoring Tyson's desperate warning.
