Chapter 279 An Eye for An Eye
Chapter 279 An Eye for An Eye
"Russell, what are you doing?"
Kristen and Tyson asked Ricky as they prepared to take out the innate spiritual balls to save Ricky.
Sweat formed on their foreheads, and their eyes grew larger for they were very worried when they saw
Ricky prepare for massive attacks that were directed towards Nathan.
They froze; fear encircled their gut for they knew that it might be too late. The enemy had already
released a powerful punch that almost landed at the delicate part of Ricky's head. Everyone knew that
a punch from an Elder at ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement could do some serious damage to anyone
who'd receive his attacks. Even more so, one punch could definitely crack one's skull and send him
straight to his grave.
"You bastard! Do you really think you can murder the young master of the Arhat Palace? You must be
dreaming! Too ambitious but too naive. Don't be so full of yourself," the elder said brutally as he looked
Ricky straight in the eye. But the Elder had not yet had enough. This time, he raised his fists higher and
readied to punch Ricky's face more forcefully. The punch was so strong that it was enough to pulverize
his opponent's head.
"Are you sure about that?" Ricky responded arrogantly with blank eyes while his Iron Destroyer was
still pointed at Nathan who was pinned to the ground.
Bang!
A incandescent furious power leapt up around the area as Ricky spoke. the Manor Gang's castle was
glutted with the boiling power and all warriors felt as if they were in a super hot furnace.
The Elder at ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement felt especially depressed since the boiling power
aimed at him and he would endure the most power of the attack. A strong omen of danger caught him
all of a sudden.
He wasn't a stranger to this feeling, the near death experience. He had already felt this when the lord of
the Arhat Palace gave him a taste of his power. But somehow, deep inside of him, he sensed by
instinct that Ricky's power was much stronger than that. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Soon after, the warrior at ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement came to his senses. He realized that the
amount of energy that flooded the castle could be from a demi-immortal, or from an innate spiritual king
that was lurking around the area.
And in an instant, he stepped back without having to think twice.
But to his dismay, it was too late for him to turn back.
A thin scarlet snake that dangled on Ricky's right arm huffed and suddenly opened its eyes that
resembled dancing fire. Soar, the 'snake', unlatched itself from Ricky's arm and sprinted out as fast as
it could.
"You! You're a demi-immortal monster!" The Elder at ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement sneered as it
was now clear to him where all the threatening power was coming from.
"How dare such a minuscule of a monster from the mountains mess around in the Chaotic Region! The
eight...." the Elder choked mid sentence as he gathered all of his strength to prepare for a defense.
But surprisingly, Soar was a Great Dragon in the demi-immortal realm. He was capable of fighting
against innate spiritual kings. How could someone at only the ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement
withstand his tremendous power?
But the cunning and belittled little 'snake' made its way to the Elder's head and slithered to the space
between his eyebrows. And before the Elder could finish his words and taunts, he dropped to the
ground, dead and cold as ice.
Anyone with a pair of eyes could clearly see the paleness and the lack of life in the Elder at ninth grade
of Bone Reinforcement. His blood essence had been completely drained out.
The death was all of a sudden, with no warnings whatsoever. It was much like the Elder was
completely off guard when Soar landed on his forehead. But only Soar knew about what had caused
the Elder's instant death. Soar had absorbed all of the Elder's blood essence energy at the time of his
death.
Soar was a beast in nature. Unlike human warriors who depended on cultivation to improve their
powers, Soar and other monsters of his like could simply strengthen themselves by devouring external
energy.
Another difference that monsters had with human warriors was that monsters relied greatly on their
bloodline. They usually achieved the peak of cultivation and then stop once they had reached the
summit of their bloodline. This was what set them apart from human warriors who could break through
their limitations when it came to strengthening and enhancement.
...
Soar returned to Ricky's right arm swiftly after he killed the Elder at ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement
and absorbed his blood essence. He crawled there with his eyes closed, so tranquil and peaceful that
no one would believe what had happened just now if they did not witness it with their own eyes.
Pow!
Suddenly, the Iron Destroyer dropped to the ground and landed beside, and not directly at Nathan. This
was all part of Ricky's plan. He didn't actually want to kill Nathan. All he wanted was to show his power.
Nathan, who was in a comma, could not have known about what was happening.
This was all too typical for the invertebrate young masters. They thought that they were better than
everyone else, especially the masses. They were conceited, and were extremely obnoxious. They even
projected themselves as brave warriors. But when they look at death staring right in front of them, they
were down to their knees even at the first blow.
But the star of the night wasn't Ricky, not anymore. Heck all of the audience paid no attention to him for
their eyes were all plastered to Soar, the new icon of the scene.
They all stood there aghast as they saw how the tiny creature, even believable to be a support pet,
killed a warrior at ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement in a snap.
And on top of that, they heard the Elder reveal that Soar was at demi-immortal level right before his
death.
It took every warrior in the castle a while before they calmed themselves down from the amazement.
This incident brought Kristen, Tyson and the whole Manor Gang to be more excited about what had
happened.
While everyone was elated at the news, it was very unfortunate loss for the people of the Arhat Palace.
They clearly knew at that a demi-immortal beast's power would equal their leader in power. How could
they stop feeling scared when they knew that even their leader himself could not even manipulate this
gang?
The people of the Arhat palace took a few steps back. No one dared to take revenge or even flee from
the gang. They knew better than that for fleeing would result into their quick demise.
...
"What have you come through these days, Russell? Especially now that you've become so powerful.
Plus, you now have such a powerful demi-immortal monster to protect you!" Tyson exclaimed with his
eyes fixed at the magnificent Soar.
The crowd fell silent and all of them stared at Soar enviously. It was very rare for a warrior to be friends
with monsters. What was even more rare was when a warrior became friends with a monster more
powerful than himself.
Getting in contact with monsters peacefully was a very difficult task. And it was very hard even for a
beast tamer.
"My name is Soar, and I am not a monster. I have a name. Call me monster again and I will eat you
alive," Soar said as he opened his eyes upon hearing what Tyson had just said, then closed his eyes
again.
Tyson was drenched in sweat out of fear. "Of.. Of course! Never again, I promise!" He nodded his head
quickly while he trembled in fear. "I will never say that again!"
"Ha-ha!" Ricky burst out a contagious laugh at the sight of Tyson's embarrassment.
So did Kristen and others.
They all had shared their giggles and stopped when they couldn't laugh any more. Then, they averted
their eyes to Nathan.
"Russell, why didn't you kill Nathan when you had the chance? He and the Arhat Palace will never
spare us whether we kill him or not. And now we have..." Tyson turned his eyes to Soar as he said so.
"I did not kill him because I don't want to give him a quick death. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
That is how it should be. How could he deserve to die easily when he dared take advantage of Kristen!"
Ricky snickered.
Kristen's eyes sparked with gratitude and her cheeks blushed as she heard Ricky's words.
"Oh! So, it's an eye for an eye, huh. What's your plan now?" Tyson asked. This was the most important
question that they all needed some serious answers.
Manor Gang disciples who were there also pricked up their ears.
"Didn't he mention something regarding a plaything? Since he likes to play, I will satisfy his cravings as
he wishes and show him what's the real fun!" Ricky sneered. "Gather around. I'll give him something he
wants. Strip him naked, Bastian. Then tie him to the city gate!"
