Chapter 985 Murderous Intent
Ricky was pushed farther by the impact, which implied he was rtively weaker than Carney. The truth,
however, was that people in the surroundings did feel that Ricky was emitting the power which was
This battle demonstrated the extent of Ricky''s strength.
They could tell that he hadn''t be a demi-spiritual emperor yet and that the power he released was
not iplete ruling power. All these indicated that he had burst out the power of a demi-spiritual
emperor when he was just apleted spiritual king.
''He is a genius who can challenge someone stronger than him!'' The people that had gathered around
them admired Ricky from afar, as they thought that only someone really brave could do that.
At that moment, all of them changed their views on Ricky. They had looked down upon him before, and
some had even resented him, but now they grew to respect him because he could defeat someone
stronger than him and this was something that they could not achieve.
"It seems that all of us are wrong. He is not an overconfident man, nor did he do this out of his sense of
justice. The truth is that he really has enough strength and talent!"
"All of us spoke out of turn. We didn''t know what we were talking about!"
"I can say that he is as much a genius as Carney!"
"Yeah, maybe he is ate bloomer, or perhaps he just looks old for his age?"
"He can challenge someone who is at a higher level than him! There is no wonder he could easily
defeat Curran who is close to a demi-spiritual emperor." The people around them were abuzz with their
opinions and praises for Ricky. Abraham sighed and said, "He has the mutant, and he is even able to
challenge someone stronger than him. It seems that we made the right choice when we put our trust in
him." "Ha-ha! Chief, it seems that you will have a good son-inw in the future." Almost all the other
demi-spiritual emperors of the Hong n sent this message to Abraham with their internal powers and
congratted him for choosing well.
They were very happy that such a genius would soon be a member of the Hong n.
Moreover, at that moment, they were more confident that Ricky would be the core disciple of the
Spirit Sect since he had shown that he could challenge those stronger than him, even a demi-spiritual
emperor like Carney, all while he was apleted spiritual king. It further proved that Ricky was not as
simple as he appeared to be.

The Spirit Sect had always wanted another genius who couldpete with Carney, so there was no
doubt that they would be happy to snatch him up.
''How could this be possible? How did he do that? He is actually able to challenge those stronger than
him!'' Curran thought as his anger surged to its boiling point, and he finally realized that he was tricked
by Ricky.
He stewed angrily on how he must have looked like a clown in Ricky''s eyes back at that time. He had
been so naive to think that Ricky relied on his movement skill to defeat him, when the truth was, even if
Ricky couldn''t attack him with his hands, he would still lose the fight.
''Damn it! He deserves to die! How dare he y with me?!'' Murderous intent began to surface in
Curran''s heart, as his mind ran through thousands of ways to kill Ricky.
"He can challenge someone stronger than him!" Meanwhile, Carney was also surprised and jealous of
Ricky''s strength.
He was a genius, and before this day, he always appeared calm, and he dealt with all kinds of
problems with absolute self-confidence. But today, he had to admit that Ricky stirred countless negative
emotions in him. It was as if Ricky brought out the worst in him.
Just a minute ago, he perceived Ricky as a weakling, but at this moment, he was watching him with
intense jealousy. Ricky''s me mutant was faintly stronger than his, and he had the strength to
challenge someone higher than him. All of those made Carney burn with jealousy.
''No way! I need to kill him!'' Carney thought to himself fiercely.
''Those old fellows of the Spirit Sect are afraid that the Chu n will rece them, and they have been
secretly looking for geniuses who can contend with us. They select the disciples twenty years in
advance, just to find the best geniuses out there.
If they find out about Kenney, they will train him, and he will definitely be my rival in the future.
I need to kill him now before he can get strong enough to defeat me!"
Carney''s focus narrowed to one thing alone, and that was to kill Ricky.
"His murderous intent has be obvious now," Tina said to Ricky through telepathy.
"He can''t kill me with his current strength," Ricky said confidently which prompted Tina to ask, "Why?
How strong is he exactly?"
"He is very close to a lower grade demi-spiritual emperor," Ricky answered. "And his realm is already at
the peak, so he can break through and be a lower grade demi-spiritual emperor anytime he wants
to.
Currently it''s almost impossible for me to beat him, even if I use all my trump cards with my current
strength.
But fortunately, the refining of the blood essence of the Flood Dragon made me invincible among all the
general demi-spiritual emperors."
"I''m relieved to hear that, as I am afraid that the powerful warriors of the Chu n will attack you," Tina
said honestly.
"I don''t think they will choose to attack me," Ricky assured her. "But if they choose to attack, I won''t
have any choice but to let the Evil Mandragora deal with them.
She can quickly kill them, and then we can escape from here."
"I didn''t expect you to be so powerful, but it seems that Curran''s defeat was not a fluke after all,"
Carney said as he tried his best to suppress the murderous intent in his heart.
"In that case, I want to ask you, am I qualified?" A teasing smile shed across Ricky''s face.
He wanted to fight seriously with Carney, but he couldn''t kill him now. And to make matters more
The only reason that he could think of, on why Carney had not made a breakthrough yet, was because
he wanted to further improve his Fire Transforming Form.
Carney had already decided to kill Ricky. How could he let Ricky go after he showed his strength?
Besides that, he had two more reasons to kill Ricky right then. For one thing, if he missed this rare
chance to attack Ricky, he wouldn''t have a suitable excuse to attack Ricky in the future, and Ricky
would no doubt be wary of him, so he couldn''t attack him secretly. His other reason was that he
couldn''t leave him alone for long. He knew that if a genius was allowed to develop freely, he would
certainly make rapid progress.
In a word, after careful consideration, Carney had made up his mind to kill Ricky here.
"Qualification? You can only qualify after you defeat me!" Carney replied bluntly.
His aura had reached its limit as the Heavenly Fire burnt. Now, everyone could feel that although
Carney''s realm was still an ordinary demi-spiritual emperor, the power that he was releasing had
already reached that of a lower grade demi-spiritual emperor.
This kind of feeling was especially true when he had released the Heavenly Fire Mutant.
Carneyunched another strike as soon as he finished speaking. He grabbed another cloud of
Heavenly Fire with his left hand and transformed it into the shape of an arrow, which he held in both
hands, as he rushed toward Ricky.
"No me mutant has ever been able to escape from my Heavenly Fire Mutant. Did you see the six
clouds of Heavenly Fire on my body? They are formed after my Heavenly Fire Mutant devoured six
owners of me mutants.
And today, you will be the seventh cloud of my Heavenly Fire!"
"Are you sure you want to fight me seriously?" Ricky asked coldly.
He didn''t expect that Carney would be foolish enough to challenge him in a life-and-death battle right
then and there.
Of course, Carney was only confident because he was sure that he wouldn''t die, no matter what
happened. Even if he lost, there was a powerful demi-spiritual emperor behind him, who would surely
rescue him.
With this strong back-up, he didn''t fear anything.
"I never hold myself back in battle, and every fight I participate in bes a life-and-death battle,"
Carney replied lightly. The arrow in his hands began to throb and transform.
