As they stared at the white-haired man in front of them, Xavier and the others couldn't close their
mouths because they were so surprised. As they recovered from their shock, excitement filled them. If
Ricky were here, that meant that Paul's inheritance was here with him.
"Ricky! I didn't see you there! This really is turning out to be a lucky day," Xavier said with a sneer.
"It looks like you're no longer just murderous. Now, you're greedy too," Ricky replied calmly. There
wasn't a trace of worry on his face.
"Everyone yearns for Paul's inheritance. You must know that by now. And you're right. I'm no selfless
man. I don't give a damn about the justice. Now that you're here, I can't let you go," Xavier snapped.
"Besides, you're standing right next to my targets. It's like you're asking to die."
"I don't think we're going to die today, even though you are the fifth-ranked talent in the central region,"
Ricky shot back with a smile. Without making any movements, bloody-red devouring power surged out
of his body and collided with Xavier's black poison gas.
"You have the devouring power? That's not indeed a bit troublesome for me to handle!" As he
witnessed his black poison gas being devoured, Xavier narrowed his eyes and tightened his fists into
balls.
He had always been a cautious man. How else could he have hidden his true intentions for so long? So
he was determined to get what he wanted.
"Stay back! Don't let his poison touch you!" Ricky warned Mordechai and Peter telepathically.
Poison had the ability to appear in the air out of nowhere, which was unpredictable. Even though
Mordechai and Peter were strong warriors, they couldn't guard themselves against the elusive poison.
Warriors who cultivated the poison gas had an easy time restraining the warriors who cultivated the
illusion power and the ones who cultivated their bodies.
If it weren't for the fact that Ricky had the Devouring Mutant, the Chaotic Fire Mutant, and the Ancestral
Thunder Mutant, he wouldn't have had the courage or the ability to confront the poison.
Wasting no time, Mordechai and the others stepped back because they understood that they couldn't
deal with warriors as strong as Xavier or his poison.
They also had faith in Ricky that he would win.
After all, in their eyes, Ricky never lost.
And if it came down to it, it was not too late for them to step in and help if the warriors around Xavier
started fighting.
Now, it was time for the competition between the two geniuses to take place.
"Paul's inheritance belongs to me," Xavier said, licking his lips. The space around him had transformed
into a world of poison.
"I'd like to see you try. If you can get your hands on it, it's yours." Ricky gritted his teeth and extended a
finger, pointing it at Xavier.
With a yell, the power of the seven mutants leapt out and surrounded his body.
Moments later, a disembodied roar was heard. The black poison gas behind Xavier had condensed to
form the shadow of a snake with two wings on its back.
It was the Winged Snake.
"The Hu Clan has the blood power of the Heavenly Black Winged Snake. It's an emperor beast that
descends from the legendary Winged Snake. He is using it because it is born with the Heavenly Black
Poison," Claire told Ricky through telepathy.
"I've heard that the Black Poison belongs to the legendary Winged Snake and the Heavenly Black
Poison is another type of that Black Poison. Please be careful."
"Heavenly Black Winged Snake? Heavenly Black Poison?" Ricky murmured to himself as he tried to
sort all of the information through his brain.
At first, he hadn't been worried when he saw the snake appear, but now, he knew better than to look
down on it.
Once the shadow of the Heavenly Black Winged Snake had finished condensing, it slithered towards
Ricky and reared up to bite him.
The attack was made up of several different momentums.
Ricky opened his eyes wide and his pupils turned purple. Then, purple thunderbolts burst out of his
body, slicing into the Heavenly Black Winged Snake.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Following that, all of Ricky's and Xavier's momentums collided.
They moved at the same time, like it was an intricate dance.
The powers of Ricky's seven mutants rushed forward and turned into a colorful world. As they fought
back against Xavier's attacks, the impact they created was enough to award Ricky with the upper hand.
Under the pressure of the seven mutants, the black poison gas collapsed with a puff.
For other warriors, the black poison gas was a difficult opponent, but Ricky had the Devouring Mutant,
the Chaotic Fire Mutant, and the Ancestral Thunder Mutant. It was easy for him to handle the poison.
"Release your Heavenly Black Poison. This is becoming boring," Ricky said coldly.
"If that's what you want," Xavier replied, rolling his eyes.
He was a person who loved to cause trouble. Most of the time, he felt more powerful than others and
thought that he was better than them. Ricky's taunting just made him angrier.
There was no chance that Ricky would let him walk away.
On the one hand, Xavier wanted to kill Claire. Now that Ricky had the inheritance of the king, he would
not allow anyone else to hurt Claire because she was the one who had the inheritance of the queen.
And Ricky wasn't easily pushed around by others.
On the other hand, Xavier had made it clear that he wanted to steal Paul's inheritance. Because of that,
he had made himself a lifelong enemy of Ricky's.
"Heavenly Black Poison!"
A moment later, a dark mark appeared between Xavier's eyebrows. It didn't belong to a mutant. It was
a special bloodline mark.
In an instant, the mass turned into the Heavenly Black Poison.
The second that his eyes became completely dark, it meant that the poison gas around Xavier had
reached a higher level.
The poison itself became murkier and darker, like it had come from hell where the chaos and darkness
had started.
As he stared into the power of the poison gas, Ricky saw a dark world of poison.
He understood that it was the Heavenly Black Poison—one of the top poisons beneath the Black
Poison.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The Heavenly Black Poison came closer, causing the defensive shield Ricky had created using his
seven kinds of power to melt like it had been burned. A strong sense of threat licked at Ricky's heart.
"The Heavenly Black Poison is stronger than I thought!" Ricky exclaimed as he tried to think of another
way to fight back.
"Well, you asked to see my Heavenly Black Poison. I hope you're enjoying it," Xavier said coldly from
the world of poison.
"Nine Snake Poisons!"
With a roar, all of his strength was integrated into the Heavenly Black Poison around him.
The strong Heavenly Black Poison split into nine strands that reached towards the sky. Then, they
started to twist and spin like tornadoes. The spinning force was so strong that the area seemed to flip
upside down.
The Nine Snake Poisons were as thick and as long as pythons.
Gradually, wings sprouted on their backs.
Under the power of the Heavenly Black Poison, the area surged.
A couple of moments passed in suspended silence before the Nine Snake Poisons swept towards
Ricky at the same time.
The Heavenly Black Poison released a unique power of erosion. Ricky squeezed his eyes shut, afraid
that he was about to die. The power behind the attack was like the world's strongest storm, ready to lift
him up and tear him apart.
"Evil Devouring Mouth!"
Now that his life was at risk, Ricky focused on the task at hand. He released as much of his devouring
power as he could and instantly activated the devouring formula. The huge Evil Devouring Mouth
appeared, eating all of the attacks that were pointed his way.
"Furnace of Heaven and Earth!
Ancestral Thunder Net!"
At the same time, Ricky activated two more Omnipotent Skills and attached them to the Evil Devouring
Mouth to form his strongest defense method.
But this time, he was struggling. Even though he had combined the three Omnipotent Skills, it seemed
hard to deal with his enemy.
