"I have to admit that your scheme is perfect," Ricky sneered.
"Thank you!" The man in black laughed, and his creepy laughter echoed around them. "You three
should just give up, and let us capture you easily!"
"Don't talk big. You are asking for the moon if you want us to surrender to you fools! I despise people
like you who creep in the shadows like cowards. I promise you, you will die today," Soar said coldly.
"We may be fools, but I don't think it will be a problem for us to take down you guys," answered the
man in black confidently.
"Maybe your plan is perfect, but I think that perfection leads to pride, and pride can lead to your
downfall," Ricky said coldly.
"And how do you propose to defeat us? I'm all ears!" taunted the man in black.
"It's very simple. Since we refined the Emperor Light, our strength has been greatly improved. We are
now even stronger than a strong demi-spiritual emperor at the peak state. As a matter of fact, we are
strong enough to break through the Thunderstroke Doom and become spiritual emperors at any time. I
honestly think it's fair to say that we have the ability to get rid of you or even kill you," Ricky easily
answered.
"Ha-ha, you are indeed right. Right now, each of you is more powerful than us, so each of you will have
no problem beating us individually." The man in black laughed as if he was unaffected by the fact that
Ricky was saying.
"But you know what? This is something we have expected as well. We are no fools."
Hearing the man's words, Ricky, Soar, and Autelan darkened at this point, and they warily looked
around in case there were more enemies hidden in the darkness.
However, only those with sharp eyes could read calmness behind the gloom in their faces. In other
words, their concern was just a disguise.
In the next moment, three men in black stood out. They turned their palms over, and six glowing
spheres appeared.
These spheres were condensed by the strong ruling power, which was similar to that contained in the
Emperor Light. However, the difference was the there was something inside those spheres.
There was a figure inside each of the six glowing spheres.
It was clear that all men inside were alive, but they seemed to be deep in sleep.
"Fein and Payne!"
Soar and Autelan recognized the six men. One of them was the most famous disciple of the Spirit Sect,
Fein, and the other was a middle-aged man with black hair. He was a senior genius from the Spirit
Sect.
The other four were geniuses from the Great Jade Dynasty.
"Did you capture Fein and Payne because you can't fight us like men? You cowards!" Soar said coldly.
"These six people bathed in the other Emperor Light in another ruling region. Four of them have
become strong enough to pass the doom. But we still seized them effortlessly. Do you know why?" the
man in black asked lightly.
His voice was filled with confidence.
"Why?" Ricky asked, and his voice was hard as steel.
"It's very simple. The answer lies in the Emperor Light they absorbed. For those who absorb the three
strands of Emperor Light we found, no matter how strong they are, they would turn to be as weak as
ants in front of us. That's why we are so confident!"
The man in black smirked knowingly at the group.
"You guys have tampered with the light?" Soar asked with a scandalized tone.
"Ha-ha, you're smart! Unfortunately, it's too late." The man in black laughed. "We can easily find the
Emperor Light and control the power within.
So, everything will be under our control as long as you refine the Emperor Light into your body.
And now, it's time for us to take action against you."
The fifteen men in black clapped their hands at the same time, which seemed to activate a strange
spell at once.
The power of a kind of odd water rose from their bodies like a storm that had surged with the wind.
The power from these men made Ricky feel familiar in three aspects.
The first aspect was that he felt their power was like the strength of Oswald's Blue Water Mutant.
The second one was that their power seemed to have similarities with the power contained in the blood
that flowed from Gerald after he committed suicide.
The last aspect was that he sensed the evil spirit from their power. Just as Evil Mandragora mentioned,
this kind of odd water power contained the power of the evil spirit.
"What is going on? How could the powers of Blue Water Mutant, the ruthless blood, and the evil spirit
be combined? Is there a connection between the three?" Ricky became even more confused, as he
thought about the situation.
"Are they related to Oswald? Or can they be related to the dead Gerald?
In the past two years, Oswald enjoyed a weaker reputation in the Western Land. According to the Ju
Clan's report, it is difficult to confirm whether he had the Blue Water Mutant or not.
Even if Mason came personally to attack him, Oswald would still have been able to escape. It seems
that a powerful master is helping Oswald."
"Ricky, in terms of the Blue Water Mutant, these people in black are likely to be related to Oswald, or
rather, Oswald has something to do with their master," Dragon Intent Grass said through telepathy.
"I see. Well, that is a valuable clue. Oswald is probably the key to all these then," Ricky muttered, deep
in thought.
"But you'd better deal with these guys first!" the Dragon Intent Grass reminded him before he could be
distracted.
"Ancient Water Toxin Array, seal it!"
the fifteen men in black shouted at the same time, and an array was created at once. Each of them was
emitting strange water power.
Fifteen streams of strange water power were divided into three strands with five in each. These
streams then entered the bodies of Ricky, Soar, and Autelan before they could do anything.
"Now, you guys should sense it, as your power slowly disappears from your body, leaving you weak.
Am I right?" Amid the tense silence, the man in black spoke again, "Oh, no. To be more precise, you
should feel that all your power has been suppressed into the Heavenly Meridians.
And soon, you will feel unbearable pain in your body before you pass out.
Do you know why this is happening? Let me tell you everything. This is because we had carved many
small-sized Ancient Water Toxin Arrays in the Emperor Light!
Such toxin is the deadliest you can find in the world. It is invisible and colorless. Even a spiritual
emperor couldn't detect it if the array is not activated.
The toxin will erode your Heavenly Meridian, seal your power, and make you vulnerable!"
At this moment, the fifteen looked exceedingly conceited and poured scorn on Ricky, Soar, and
Autelan.
"Arghhhhh!"
Soar suddenly screamed out and knelt on the ground heavily.
"Ha-ha, you may be a strong dragon. But so what? You will have to surrender to us eventually!" The
fifteen men laughed loudly, as they seemingly enjoyed the pain in Soar's scream
However, their laughter stopped abruptly because, in the next moment, Soar stood up as if nothing
happened.
He shook his hands, as a boyish grin took over his face. He jokingly said, "Actually, I lied to you. I didn't
feel any pain at all."
At the same time, Ricky and Autelan transformed their serious faces into joyous ones.
"Just as you have a trick, we also have one to deal with you!"
