After the copies of the defective map were auctioned off, the current auction came to an end.
"When are you going to use the Transmission Array?" Edie asked.
"I haven't gotten the Chaotic Sword Intent Herb yet," replied Ricky with a faint smile. "So, I may have to
wait for some more time."
"What? You're going to do snatch it from the Flame Valley?" Both Edie and the Thousand-hand
Emperor were shocked by what Ricky implied. They really couldn't understand how he could be so
confident. How could he even target a big and influential force like the Flame Valley?
After all, Hutton was a powerful upper spiritual emperor of the valley. Plus, there were two more
spiritual emperors that were middle spiritual emperors in the force.
Besides, Fitch was not a simple man either.
"Since they want to take advantage of me, I will not let them go so easily," Ricky declared flippantly as
if he was merely stating a fact.
"I have to go now. See you later!" With that farewell, he left with the two girls, and Edie didn't do
anything to stop them.
He was too deep in thought, for he wanted to know where Ricky's confidence against the Flame Valley
was coming from. He didn't think that the Moon Dragon Palace and the Star Tiger Palace would let
Ricky go either, which complicated matters even more. If Ricky was an ordinary man, he should be
fearing for his life now.
"Sir please follow Ricky and save his life if necessary," Edie said to the Thousand-hand Emperor after
Ricky left.
"Oh? It seems that you really think of him as your friend," the Thousand-hand Emperor said with a little
surprise. But he didn't refuse Edie's request. Before long, he also left, intending to follow Ricky.
While leaving, Ricky naturally took the two girls into his Massacring Zone.
In sharp contrast, he didn't hide his presence as he left, not caring if everyone could see where he was
going.
"Kenney is quite bold. Doesn't he know his own situation? How could he leave in such a grand way as
if he is asking to be followed? He should at least stay in the castle until everyone has left!" some
warriors who followed him said.
"Don't fret. We will soon find out whether he is arrogant or extraordinary as long as we go after him.
After all, we don't know if the Moon Dragon Palace and the Star Tiger Palace would let him go, but I'm
sure that the Flame Valley won't."
Meanwhile, in a forest inside the valley, Ricky suddenly stopped in his tracks and said lightly, "Come on
and show yourself! I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"I don't care if you are suicidal or just extremely arrogant. Anyway, you will certainly die today!" Fitch
threatened him as he walked out of the darkness. His body was surrounded by a sea of flames, and his
waves of momentum swept straight toward Ricky.
"Why don't you try me? Then, you'll know," Ricky sneered. "But why did you come here alone? I'm
going to kill not only you but also your accomplices. Besides, I'm determined to get the Chaotic Sword
Intent Herb."
"Ha-ha, ha-ha!" Hearing Ricky's words, Fitch was too angry to say a word, and he could only laugh
condescendingly.
"Does Kenney think he is still in the auction hall where the members of the Flame Valley would not dare
to attack him?" the warriors who followed Ricky here whispered in wonder.
"Perhaps, he also has a trump card of his own. After all, no matter how stupid he is, he wouldn't court
death. I just wonder what his trump card is."
"His trump card wouldn't make much of a difference. Have you forgotten? Hutton is a two-star upper
spiritual emperor!"
As the onlookers argued among each other, the tension between Fitch and Ricky seemed to be heating
up.
"Here, you will pay back both principal and interest!" After he stopped laughing, Fitch stepped on the
ground, and several fire passages appeared on the ground directly.
As the fire passages swept by Ricky like heavy wind, Fitch reappeared in front of Ricky.
The void cracked with a loud echo, and a long flaming sword appeared in Fitch's hand. He slashed it
down, creating a flaming storm that almost filled the whole space in the surroundings.
Ricky was shocked by how powerful Fitch was.
His eyes narrowed warily, as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. Then, massacring patterns
appeared and surrounded his arms to resist Fitch's sword strike. This was the Massacring Holy
Pattern!
Bang! The sound of metal colliding rang through the air. Fitch's sword had frozen in the air, stopped by
the Massacring Holy Pattern. Fitch's flames did not burn Ricky at all, as they had been blocked outside
by the massacring runes.
"It seems that Kenney is not courting death by confronting Fitch. In reality, he is confident in himself,"
someone commented when they saw that Ricky was not at a disadvantage at all in the battle.
When the two parties' attacks collided, they exerted strength at the same time. And because of the
great reverse impact, they were thrown apart like leaves in the air.
"Great! You are much stronger than the Yellow Water Emperor," Ricky said after steadying himself.
Having six zones, he could get a vague sense of how strong Fitch was. He decided that Fitch was an
average two-star lower spiritual emperor.
If Ricky used his full strength, it would not be difficult for him to kill someone with such strength.
However, when Fitch's real body was revealed, his strength would also be promoted.
'All right. Now I can play with him and enjoy myself. I've been traveling for so many days without having
a good fight,' Ricky thought to himself.
Buzz! As the massacring runes surged around him like swelling waves, Ricky activated the cultivation
method of the Massacring Holy Pattern. In an instant, his entire body was covered by the golden
patterns as if he was wearing invincible golden armor.
"Humph! How dare you compare me to the Yellow Water Emperor?" Fitch scoffed indignantly when he
heard Ricky compare him with the Yellow Water Emperor.
Meanwhile, his burning eyes became serious. He sensed from that single blow that Ricky's strength
was not weak, and he did have the power to kill the Yellow Water Emperor.
Boom! The moment he finished speaking, Ricky had already launched an attack. Countless golden
patterns surrounded his arms and turned into the hardest weapon. His two fists were like mountains,
bombarding Fitch with no rest.
On his end, Fitch clutched the burning long sword in front of his chest like a defense tower, as all the
infernal power was integrated into the sword. While the sword was buzzing, countless sword shadows
appeared in the whole area. Forty-five percent of sword intent merged with the Fire Rule, erupting from
Fitch's body.
With a flick of his finger, countless flaming sword shadows shot towards Ricky.
Boom! The next moment, Ricky's golden fists collided with the flaming sword shadows.
After merging with the Fire Rule, the sword shadows were indeed extraordinary. And as a result, a lot
of golden patterns around Ricky's body began to shatter, and a few blood stains appeared on his body.
"You have sword intent, and I have saber intent to confront you!" Ricky announced coldly. The corners
of his mouth pulled upwards into a faint smile as if he was having the time of his life.
Behind him, an Intent Apperception suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Saber shadows appeared
inside the void, which was even more indestructible with the help of massacring runes.
It was like two skies collided into each other. And the void was suddenly filled with nothing but saber
and sword shadows.
At the same time, Ricky's golden arms and Fitch's flaming sword once again slammed against each
other.
A fearsome close-combat ensued between two corporeal bodies. Initially, they were in a stalemate, but
after about a hundred rounds, Fitch gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"It looks like Kenney is physically stronger than Fitch!" the surrounding crowd muttered to each other.
"Fitch should have figured it out by now. From here on, he would probably change his tactic!"
"Kenney cultivates massacring power, so his corporeal body must be incomparably strong."
Knowing that he was gradually losing ground, Fitch stepped back and kept a good distance away from
Ricky.
His body was still surrounded in flames, and his face showed a terrible expression.
At that moment, he looked like he lived for nothing else but to kill Ricky.
"Infernal sword, set everything ablaze!"
As he roared, his momentum increased sharply, and the flaming sword in his hand changed instantly. It
was divided into ten swords, which later turned into a hundred. In this way, countless swords were
produced in just a few seconds.
Boom! The ground swept by Fitch's momentum was transformed into a sea of flames, glowing yellow
like magma and pouring off heat.
Soon, scarlet swords that resembled huge bones rose from the blazing sea one by one.
