Chapter 188 People From Endless Shadow
"Leader, be careful!"
the two yelled quite anxiously. Witnessing the Infernal King Bear channeled all of his powers to attack
Ricky had made them both quite anxious. However, they just stretched their hands but did not move
even a single step forward.
''It would be eptable if both of Ricky and the Infernal King Bear lose this fight, '' they even thought of
the same thing.
The events that followed happened pretty quickly.
"Kaboom!"
A loud crash shook the entire ce. Ricky''s strike directly collided with the Infernal King Bear''sva
burst. Tongues of mes and spiritual energy swept across half of the magmake in one snap!
Both Ricky and the Infernal King Bear''s figures were submerged.
Only Ricky was able to notice the white light that glinted out of the Iron Destroyer which was actually
the innate power that had been contained in the demi-spiritual energy.
"Whoosh!"
A lot of blood and scattered flesh gushed out of the mes and spiritual energies, which meant that the
impact created by the collision was of tremendous power.
Seeing the gory scene before them, both Caleb and Elvis let dark smiles paint their faces.
It was known to the two of them that the power possessed by the Infernal King Bear was unparalleled.
Even if Ricky had time to unleash his mysterious and formidable body refining cultivation method, it
was of no use. Naturally, it was mostly Ricky''s flesh and blood that was shot out of the collision.
In just a short amount of time, the mes and spiritual energies had dematerialized, and peace was
slowly restored throughout the magmake.
The bodies of Ricky and the Infernal King Bear were nowhere to be found. Only the horrendous view of
the flesh and bones on the verge of melting were discernible.
"Leader!"
"Leader!" the two called out tentatively in unison. However, there was no response.
After the search, Ricky, as well as his body, weren''t discovered.
"Ha! You call that a genius? Well then, we have finally killed one!"ughing boisterously, they assumed
that the littered flesh belonged to Ricky.
"I think we will be rewarded for killing Ricky, Caleb. After all, they once failed in doing so,"
Elvis stated exultantly, nudging Caleb on the ribs yfully.
"You''re right! The reward will definitely give us a chance to enter the Bone Reinforcement without
trouble!"
Caleb eximed, excitement evident in the tone of his voice.
"Let''s go take the Volcano Fruit and let our leader know then!"
"Caleb, wait. How about we keep the Volcano Fruit for ourselves, then put all the me on Ricky?"
Elvis said casually.
The words that came out of Elvis'' mouth sparked up the greed in Caleb. Staring at the fruit, he felt so
many thoughts and possibilities wash over him. In the end, however, his fear won over his greed.
"Elvis, I think it''s better not to do that. The reward is enough for us to enter the Bone Reinforcement.
Why should we have to carry such a burden every day if we do such a thing?"
Caleb spoke softly.
"Besides, if we get caught, we both know what''s going to happen to us! Our leader doesn''t like traitors
much if you can remember."
Upon hearing Caleb''s words, fear also started to grow in Elvis'' heart. He was reminded of all the cruelty
that had gone down.

"You''re right, Caleb. Let''s just send the message to the leader at once!"
Elvis said, trying to get rid of the lingering fear that had crept upon him. His impulsive desire for
obtaining the fruit was now nonexistent.
"You and I are brothers, right? We have got to stay close. If we don''t protect each other, the mean ones
wille after us,"
Elvis continued, making sure he was clear.
"I know," Caleb responded, sighing to himself.
They picked up the Volcano Fruit and sent a signal into the air.
A momentter, a fierce ck bird descended from the sky. Ricky had seen this bird before. It was
none other than the ck Vicious Pengornis, a beast of Bone Reinforcement.
It meant that the people who came along were the members of the Endless Shadow, and that Elvis and
Caleb were arranged to spy around the Snow Sect by them.
Two unidentified figures hopped off the ck Vicious Pengornis. They were wrapped in ck robes,
which meant that they were members of the Endless Shadow. One of the two effused such strong
energy, and weird crunching and creaking sounds could be heard from his body. Undoubtedly, his force
waspelling.
The other one had an energy that seemed to blend with nature. It was hidden well. Based on the looks
on Elvis and Caleb''s faces, this man was definitely the leader - a demi-immortal warrior.
"Chief,"
Elvis and Caleb said respectfully, slightly bowing their heads before the leader. At once, they handed
him the Volcano Fruit.
The leader nodded after receiving the fruit. "It seems that you have killed Ricky. What were you able to
get from him?"
"Chief, we don''t understand,"
Elvis said. Caleb was also baffled by the leader''s words. "Didn''t you tell us to kill Ricky regardless of
that mysterious manual?"
"Yes, I know. I''m asking if there was anything strange that appeared after his death. Maybe a red
pagoda?"
the leader asked anxiously.
"Chief, there was none. I don''t recall seeing anything," Caleb answered. Both him and Elvis trembled in
fear. "We enticed Ricky to fight the ferocious, Half-step to Bones Reinforcement beast. His flesh had
been destroyed in the collision. He was nowhere to be found!"
The leader grew quite confused upon hearing those words.
"Did you see with your own eyes that it was his flesh that was destroyed?"
asked the assassin of Bone Reinforcement.
"We… We didn''t. But we found all the blood and scattered flesh after his fight with the beast,"
Elvis responded, his voice cracked a little.
At that certain point, both Elvis and Caleb knew that something was wrong. After all, they only found
flesh and blood. There were no pieces of clothing in sight, nor Ricky''s saber.
Now came to think of it, a collision like that was not enough to destroy an intermediate Mortal Level
weapon. They should have known better.
"You useless idiots!"
the leader yelled angrily. In just a sh, a forceing from the demi-immortal hit them squarely.
Immediately, blood rushed out from both Elvis and Caleb''s mouths. The two of them fell and rolled
around the ind like crabs, screaming in pain. It was impossible for them to stand back up.
The demi-immortal really was as powerful as they said. He was able to cripple two warriors at the peak
of Blood Purification just by using the strength of his vigor.
With a hostile look into the magmake, the leader announced in a piercing voice, "I know you''re hiding
in the iron pagoda now, Ricky! As long as you''re willing toe out and give me the pagoda, the
conflict between you and the Endless Shadow shall cease! We can even be friends!
You should know that not many people can be friends with our kind!"
"Ha! Sure! As far as I know, everyone is your enemy!"
Ricky mocked just as soon as the leader finished speaking. Slowly, he appeared on the very spot
where the magma exploded.
The killer leader was right. Ricky hid in the Heaven Melting Pagoda right after the collision against the
Infernal King Bear. The Iron Destroyer itself possessed enough power to tear the Infernal King Bear
into pieces.
The only reason he stayed hidden was to find out what Elvis and Caleb were up to. He had his
suspicions.
The involvement of Elvis and Caleb with the Endless Shadow was unknown to Ricky, and little did he
expect that the demi-immortal leader would somehow get to that ce.
Ultimately, Ricky knew that this was all because everything that had happened in the Earth Fire ce
was no secret anymore.
