Chapter 722 The Anger Shifted


    The depths of the Shadow Mountains acted as periphery for the Realm of Wildness. It connected to


    another realm, thend between them like a neutral zone in war. If the battle happened here, even


    Connor, as apleted spiritual king, wouldn''t be able to detect it.


    However, Ricky didn''t know that Connor didn''t care about the details of their battle at all. He truly only


    cared about whether anyone died in the end.


    Boom!


    Up in the air, powerful momentum and murderous intent battled with each other. The zones broke and


    healed in the span of a single breath. The intensity of their fight caused electricity to buzz in the air.


    Ricky and the Shadow King stood ring at each other. The dark auras they emitted were tightly


    wound strings, prone to snapping at any moment.


    The more he learned about Ricky''s capabilities, the more serious Shadow King grew.


    "I have to admit that I''ve underestimated you. Though it might be more appropriate to say that, besides


    Connor, no one recognized your true power. You are a second-ss upper spiritual king," the Shadow


    King said gravely.


    When he was in thend of legacy, Ricky had already made a breakthrough and be a middle


    spiritual king. At any moment, he could have be an upper spiritual king. But then, the supreme


    enlightenment wrapped around him like shackles, and he didn''t dare demonstrate such a strong power.


    Now, he was released from his bindings. No longer suppressed by the supreme enlightenment, he


    could challenge someone three levels higher than him. He had already made breakthrough and


    be a second-ss middle spiritual king so he could easily defeat anyone of the same level.


    "So, I certainly can''t let this be a simple one-on-one fight."


    "Ha-ha, you didn''t n on following the rules in the first ce," Ricky smiled. "Or you wouldn''t have


    brought them with you."


    At that moment, power erupted from every direction, with Ricky at the center. The two deputy Shadow


    Kings and the four lower spiritual kings came and surrounded him.


    "However, I have an assistant just like you do," Ricky said, with a smirk full of mischief spreading on his


    face.


    "Is that so? You have an assistant?" The Shadow King''s eyebrows raised with surprise. He cast his


    power further away, trying to find the rat in the surrounding areas. Nothing felt out of ce though.


    "Your assistant can''t be your own shadow, can it?"


    His eyes flitted about as he spoke. When he looked back, Pearl had already materialized by Ricky''s


    side.


    "A spiritual space tool!" The Shadow King gasped as he watched Pearl materialize out of nowhere. His


    eyes glinted as if seeing gold, as greed colored his vision.


    The real cause of the feud between them was the spiritual space tool in Ricky.


    For a second, the Shadow King might have thought it was Ricky''s doing. However, he would never


    have imagined that Ricky was able to match his level in only two years.


    Without fear, he let his greed get the better of him.


    Pearl quickly drew the Shadow King''s attention. The Feminine Enlightenment that surrounded her was


    a beacon that called out to him.


    For those creatures who cultivated dark power, the Feminine Enlightenment restricted them and


    appealed to them in turn.


    "There''s something very attractive about you. Maybe you can be my woman so I can figure out what it


    is," said the Shadow King directly.


    Pearl had kept a fine control over her power, limiting it to the point of fooling the Shadow King. He


    simply thought she was a normal spiritual king.


    A fire burned in the pit of Ricky''s stomach.


    The anger surged inside of Ricky when he heard the Shadow King''s crude words. Pearl was his


    woman and his alone. Any advances or propositions towards her would enrage him.


    In contrast, Pearl ignored the Shadow Kingpletely. There was no use speaking to a dead man. It


    didn''t matter that his momentum was stronger than hers.


    He would never be able to defeat the loathsome man who stood beside her.


    "Should I stop the other six?" Pearl asked after a beat. A deadpan expression fixed itself on her face as


    she turned towards Ricky.


    "Indeed!" Ricky nodded.


    Just as Ricky agreed, Pearl''s figure shifted. Suddenly, a ck shadow appeared in front of one of the


    deputy Shadow Kings.

    A dark whip that seemed to be made out of her feminine power appeared in Pearl''s hand.


    Ricky nced her way and sensed the power of dark water on the whip.


    ''Damn, is this girl shifting her anger towards me onto the Endless Shadow?'' Ricky thought to himself as


    he watched Pearl flick her wrist. The whip snapped immediately, its form shifting as the dark water


    followed her movements.


    For someone as strong as Pearl, she didn''t need the dark water to effortlessly defeat the six people


    before her.


    ''This is good. I hope she vents all her anger out so she''d be less upset with me. Spiritual kings of the


    Endless Shadow, thank you. Maybe you could take some of her anger.''


    Ricky was right. She couldn''tsh out at Ricky, so she took her anger out on the spiritual kings of the


    Endless Shadow instead. Using the dark water just made the whole ordeal more satisfying.


    "Where did youe from? How dare you fight against me!" The deputy Shadow King watched her


    attack with disdain. He stomped on the ground, his palm turning into a dark killing sword as he moved,


    and shed up to meet Pearl''s whip.


    The weapons shed directly but made no sound at all. Upon impact, the whip split into tendrils of dark


    water that wrapped around the sword, encasing it in dark ice the next moment.


    The ice spread, climbing up from the sword to the deputy leader''s grip. It spread further until he was


    turned into an dark ice sculpture.


    It all happened so fast.


    Even a genius of Pearl''s level wouldn''t be able to hold against the power of the dark water without any


    preparation. A deputy Shadow King never stood a chance.


    It deeply shocked the Shadow King and the other five spiritual kings. Fear crept into their hearts. They


    feared the dark power and they feared Pearl as well.


    Being the more experienced fighter, the Shadow King cautioned his subordinates. "Do not sh with


    her. Retreat immediately."


    At the same time, the Shadow King lunged to attack Pearl. His gut told him that if he didn''t move now,


    he would lose his other five subordinates to the ice as well.


    However, just as he made his move, Ricky did as well. Ricky used his full power, forcing the Shadow


    King into a disadvantageous situation.


    How could he have known that merely speaking to Pearl would strengthen Ricky''s desire to kill him?


    Pearl didn''t stop either. The dark water absorbed the dark enlightenment. Her weapon split into five


    dark whips. Ghostly shadows surrounded the whips.


    And the whipsshed towards the five spiritual kings.
