Chapter 270 A Diamond Cut Diamond


    "It seems that you are quite familiar with the Endless Shadow; is that right?" Thomas asked coldly. His


    normally stern features were clouded further by anger. Warriors like Ricky were thest kind of


    opponents that he wanted to encounter.


    He was strong and prudent which was a problem to begin with. What made things worse was that he


    knew Thomas''s tactics quite well. Thomas had to be really cautious when facing off against him. A


    small error might lead to fatal consequences in their battle.


    Fortunately, Thomas was also one of the finest killers and had survived countless fierce battles. He


    didn''t even remember how many top fighters he had defeated or how many dead bodies he had


    stepped over in his career.


    Ricky was a strong opponent to deal with, so Thomas was nervous but not afraid.


    "You tter me," Ricky scoffed in response. "I''m not familiar with you. I just know some things about the


    weapons that the Endless Shadow members use." Ricky concealed a small smirk to himself. He began


    to summon his spiritual energy to power up his skills. He knew that a hard fighting was waiting for him.


    "Oh do you really? Then, take this!"


    Thomas roared ferociously, gnashing his teeth. His body shot toward Ricky like an arrow off a bow.


    Swish! Suddenly, a strong murderous intent broke out from his body. It soon turned into condensed


    sword-light and sprang at Ricky at an amazing speed. That was the real strength that Thomas


    possessed!


    "Tiger Art Attack!" Ricky''s eyes shed with a bright light. ming spiritual energy surrounded and


    integrated with his body as he spoke. He leaped into the air like a fierce tiger bounding at its prey.


    Affected by his aura, his Iron Destroyer harnessed the great energy he produced.


    The saber-light shot into the sky, followed by a de of hot me. In the blink of an eye, the saber and


    the sword shed, making a nging sound.


    Then, there was a loud cracking noise from the crossed des. Sparks jumped in all directions and the


    area was soon filled with the gleam of saber-light and sword-light, which were mingling with each other.


    The tremendous force caused by the collision of the des pushed the two warriors in different


    directions. Both of them stumbled back heavily, leaving deep gouges on the ground.


    Without any hesitation, feet digging into the dirt beneath them, they bounded on each other once again,


    striking like lightening.


    Both of them activated their Light Apperception to its fullest as they approached each other.


    The sword in Thomas''s hand glided through the air with more than sixty percent of the sword-light


    covering the de. Soon, the sword-light became even more cohesive and turned into a strong de


    of light, sweeping up the surrounding spiritual energy.


    "Sword-light Energy——Fatal Thrust Attack!" Thomas roared. Heughed confidently, sure of the


    strength of his attack.


    ''Thomas is indeed a strong opponent. With this kind of skill, he deserves to be a third ss genius, ''


    Ricky thought to himself. He could feel real danger approaching him as Thomas''s attack came closer.


    Fortunately, his Light Apperception had also improved a lot in recent days. He might have died at


    Thomas''s hands otherwise. He wielded the Iron Destroyer and released sixty percent of his Light


    Apperception, rolling up the spiritual energy in the air around him.


    "Sixty percent? Hah! When the Light Apperception reaches fifty percent, a small gap that forms will


    cause great difference in the power that it creates. Don''t you know that?" Thomas scoffed with a


    disparaging smile as he approached his opponent at an incredible speed.


    "Yes, that''s true, but there''s something that you don''t know; the Light Apperception that you release


    may not equal to the power that is created!" Ricky answered, remainingpletelyposed.


    "me——ughter de Attack!"


    The attack that Ricky used at that point was the power of the Heaven ughtering Fire. He activated


    the two Supreme Skills, which led to the outburst of all the strength of the sixty percent of saber-light


    that he released.


    The air was filled with a deadly and overwhelming aura. Ricky raised his weapon, mixing the deadly


    aura and his saber-light, which formed an unbelievably strong saber light in a second. It was so sharp


    that it seemed to be able to cut anything it touched into pieces.


    Bang!


    Again, they leaped at each other. The space between them was cut in half by the sword and saber.


    Then, they pushed off the ground and jumped into the air at the same time. In the few seconds they


    were both airborne, they shed against each other dozens of times. The Light Apperception that burst


    out from their bodies intermingled with each other like a, enveloping the area around them.


    As the waves of air beat against their bodies, their robes fluttered fiercely in the wind. If they hadn''t


    shielded their body with protective spiritual energy, their robes might have been torn into pieces.


    Cling! ng!


    The sound of the collisions of sword and saber deafened their ears. It seemed the fight had reached its


    climax as Ricky and Thomas collided with each other high in the sky.


    Boom! After a round of intensebat, with the contact point of the weapons as its center, energy


    waves spread out, rippling like a tidal wave.


    Both of thebatants were flung down from their spots in the air by the force of the energy st.


    They slid back quite a distance before they finally struggled back to their feet. They both spat blood out


    of their mouths.


    "I don''t believe it. You only have sixty percent of that saber-light, but it seems that we are evenly


    matched. How is this possible?" Thomas shouted in anger, wiping the blood from his lips.


    "I told you, didn''t I? The Light Apperception that you release may not equal to the power that bursts out.


    You failed to make full use of your Light Apperception. You could easily defeat me if you did." Ricky


    laughed.


    "So you mean that you can activate your Light Apperception to its fullest potential?" Thomas was


    reluctant to believe Ricky''s words.


    "Do you have any other exnation as to how I did it?" Ricky asked cockily, with a confident smile.


    He could feel an overwhelming murderous intenting from Thomas. He wasn''t in the least


    surprised. Jealousy was burning through Thomas, and that was why he couldn''t wait to take Ricky''s


    life. He wanted to prove his superiority; that was not umon between geniuses.


    "Nonsense!" Thomas sneered. Thest thing he would do was to freely admit that someone was


    stronger than him.


    "You can believe whatever you want, but I''m telling the truth when ites to Light Apperception. We


    are pretty equally matched, all things considered," Ricky said evenly. He knew what Thomas was


    thinking, but he didn''t want to argue with him.


    "Very well... I still don''t think you can withstand my double attack though. Take this!" Thomas roared in


    the thrall of his fury.


    He started to move at an amazing speed. He was so fast that Ricky could hardly see where he went.


    ''This looks just like the skill that Monkey Nine used before. I''d better not use my eyes and use my


    spiritual sense instead, '' Ricky thought to himself as he prepared to change tactics.


    Ricky activated his two Supreme Skills. He recognized Thomas''s figure and the track of his sword.


    Without any hesitation, Ricky struck with his saber.


    Bang! Their weapons collided again and the sound of metal shing rang through the air.


    "Hah! Is that all you can do?" Rickyughed coldly as he fended off Thomas''s sword with his Iron


    Destroyer.


    "I told you, didn''t I?" Thomas mimicked him in mockery. "It''s a double attack!"


    Thomas had hardly finished his words when he started to move again. He threw down his sword and


    pped his chest heavily. Suddenly, streams of ck spiritual energy rose out of him like waves from


    in the ocean. Before Ricky could recognize what the attack was, the ck spiritual energy turned into


    countless fists and rushed ferociously toward Ricky.

    "Dual Shadow Punches!" Thomas shouted the name of the attack after he used the skill.


    The unexpected attack struck in an instant. Ricky was very close to Thomas, so he hardly had any time


    to react. What was worse, the punches were strengthened by the force of gravity. That made the


    situation even more dangerous for Ricky.


    If Ricky threw down his weapon, like Thomas had, and resist the attack with his fists, he might have a


    chance to withstand it.


    That was not what he did, however.
