Chapter 190 The Stepping Stone To Breakthrough


    After Ricky finished his words, the prison made of Heaven Melting Fire in which the assassin of Bone


    Reinforcement was imprisoned disappeared.


    Meanwhile, in that moment, this assassin of Bone Reinforcement finally reacted to the death of the


    demi-immortal assassin. He didn''t be as useless as Caleb and Elvis, but his fierce eyes were also


    full of fear.


    In spite of everything, he also feared death.


    Nevertheless, he had behaved rtively well even though death was staring at him right in the face.


    "What are you nning to do? Why did you release me from your prison instead of killing me right


    away?" The assassin asked in a low voice, clearly very confused of Ricky''s behavior.


    "You are indeed an assassin. Only assassins like you can be that calm in the face of death," Ricky said,


    somehow appreciating the assassin''s nonchnt reaction.


    "Calm, as assassins can be, you say? I just don''t want to die in a pathetic way," the assassin of Bone


    Reinforcement said. "If I had the chance, I would definitely give you a fatal attack before I die."


    "Very well then, I''ll give you the chance." Ricky smiled.


    "What do you mean? Are you serious?" the assassin of Bone Reinforcement asked doubtfully.


    "If I''m not mistaken, you have just reached the first grade of Bone Reinforcement, right? Meanwhile,


    I''ve been stuck in the seventh grade of Blood Purification for a long time. Therefore, I want to use you


    as my stepping stone. Do you understand what I''m saying?" Ricky said, not beating around the bush.


    Consequently, the assassin of Bone Reinforcement became extremely enraged upon hearing Ricky''s


    words.


    "Don''t be so angry. You said that if you had the chance, you would give me a fatal attack. I just want to


    give you the chance. Whether you take it or not is up to you," Ricky said with a faint smile, "Perhaps


    you will thank me for this."


    "How vicious you are!" the assassin said fiercely upon hearing Ricky''s words.


    "I''m not as vicious as you, Endless Shadow. In order to kill me, you went as far as to dispatch a demi-


    immortal warrior!" Ricky responded.


    "Now, I will give you the chance to choose. If you choose to fight me, you may be able to give a fatal


    attack and kill me. Or you can just choose to die now and save me a lot of trouble."


    "I choose to fight with you," the assassin said fiercely with madness in his eyes.


    He was well aware that even if Ricky lost the fight, he still wouldn''t be able to kill Ricky. He was just too


    strong. But as long as there was even the smallest chance, there was no way he would give up. He


    would do everything just to get back at Ricky, even if he had to die in the end.


    In the next moment, strong power radiated from the assassin of Bone Reinforcement as he went


    straight to his limit. Then he drew his ck sword out in a smooth move.


    "I hope I can finally reach the eighth grade of Blood Purification after this fight," Ricky murmured, the


    power arising from his body.


    "Shadowy Fatal Attack!"


    Without hesitation, the assassin of Bone Reinforcement broke out his unique assassination skill, waved


    his ck sword and lunged at Ricky.


    "Five Beasts Arts!"


    Not wasting a moment, Ricky activated his Five Beasts Arts, the cultivation method at the inferior stage


    of ck Level. His speed, strength and sensitivity were all intensified in an instant. He lifted his Iron


    Destroyer and leaped at the assassin of Bone Reinforcement.


    "ng!"


    The sound of metal colliding rang through the air as Ricky and the assassin, together with their


    attacking powers, collided in a forceful crash. Fierce spiritual energies exploded in an instant.


    Assassins were people living in the shadows and killing others secretly. This assassin of Bone


    Reinforcement was no different. Each move of his was quirky. It was very difficult for Ricky to see his


    sword track. The sword stabbed at the vital parts of Ricky''s body again and again at an immense


    speed.


    Fortunately, with the Five Beasts Arts, all of Ricky''s skills had been greatly increased. Even though he


    couldn''t see the sword track, he could feel every single move of it. He raised his saber to withstand


    each and every attack.


    However, a warrior of Bone Reinforcement was still stronger than him. Even if he could defeat warriors


    Half-step to Bone Reinforcement, it was more than strenuous for him to fight with a warrior of Bone


    Reinforcement.


    While Ricky was strong enough to withstand the collision, the rebound power from the sword sent


    intense painful vibrations into his body, leaving him wounded and bloody.


    At that point, Ricky was on the verge of being defeated.


    ''Warriors of Blood Purification are indeed no match for warriors of Bone Reinforcement, '' Ricky thought.


    The situation he was in didn''te as a surprise to Ricky. If the assassin of Bone Reinforcement had


    been too weak, then he would not expect to reach Bone Reinforcement himself.


    ''The Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Form!'' Ricky roared in his mind. The blue lights


    shone brightly as his power broke out again.


    At the same time, Ricky activated two powerful cultivation methods and the power of two mes, now


    giving it his all. Ricky was already at the limit of both his power and Blood Purification.


    "Try again!" Raising the Iron Destroyer, Ricky once again collided with the assassin of Bone


    Reinforcement.


    After he activated the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Form, Ricky became almost


    invincible. This time, he did not suffer much damage every time he collided with his opponent.


    The Devouring Fire together with the devouring cultivation method made the ultimate devouring power.


    The power of the assassin was devoured with ease.


    The Iron Destroyer coated with the Heaven Melting Fire shed the des of rage continually, colliding


    directly with the assassin. This way, Ricky gradually reached the limit. He needed this to win.


    Due to the brute force of Ricky''s power, the assassin of Bone Reinforcement becamepletely


    overwhelmed for a while. He had several gashes on his body from Ricky''s Iron Destroyer. However,


    since he was a Bone Reinforcement warrior, it only took the assassin a short period of time before he


    couldpose himself once again. He regained his footing and fought with Ricky with immense


    strength and impable moves.


    "Bam!" Another resounding sound rang in the air. Ricky was beaten hard and was thrown back a


    couple of feet.


    The assassin of Bone Reinforcement saw this as his chance. He simultaneously broke out his power


    and attacked Ricky.


    "Shadowy Darkness—Fatal Sword!"


    ck power suddenly rose up in the air, circling the assassin of Bone Reinforcement. Except for his


    slightly bright eyes, his whole body looked like a ck hole.

    The ck spiritual energy and the power of sword-light gathered, emerging with the assassin holding


    his sword.


    At the moment, the stab of this assassin was really amazing. Of course there was still a great distance


    regarded as a rarely seen stab of Bone Reinforcement.


    Ricky felt himself filling up with dread as he felt the danger he was in. He knew that the assassin''s


    move could prove to be fatal.


    "My master, it''s time for me to take action," Alva said, interrupting Ricky''s thoughts.


    However, Ricky refused Alva''s help.


    "Alva, this is exactly what I need. Only when I am in danger will I be able to push my power to the limit


    and finally reach the eighth grade of Blood Purification sessfully. This way, I can also increase my


    fighting ability towards Bone Reinforcement. So thanks, but please don''t do anything to help me now."


    "But my master, you may not be able to withstand this move," Alva said in a worried tone.


    "Set your heart at rest. I''ve activated the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Form. I will not


    die here," Ricky said,forting Alva.


    "You can imprison him after this collision. Just remember not to hurt him yet."


    "Alright, I''ll keep that in mind." Alva decided to put his faith in Ricky. After all, in all the time he had


    known Ricky, Ricky had always found a way to do exactly as he said.


    Later, when the assassin''s fatal stab emerged from the shadow and the darkness, Ricky regenerated


    his power instantly and let out his strongest attack.


    "Devouring Skill—Wrath Strike!" Ricky roared fiercely as he leaped up into the air.
