The legendary warrior

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 the last 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. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

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 flatter 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 flashed with a bright light. Flaming 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 blade of hot flame. In the blink of an eye, the saber and the sword clashed, making a clanging sound.

Then, there was a loud cracking noise from the crossed blades. 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 blades 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 blade. Soon, the sword-light became even more cohesive and turned into a strong blade of light, sweeping up the surrounding spiritual energy.

"Sword-light Energy——Fatal Thrust Attack!" Thomas roared. He laughed 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 class 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, remaining completely composed.

"Flame——Slaughter Blade Attack!"

The attack that Ricky used at that point was the power of the Heaven Slaughtering 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 clashed against each other dozens of times. The Light Apperception that burst out from their bodies intermingled with each other like a net, 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! Clang!

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 intense combat, with the contact point of the weapons as its center, energy waves spread out, rippling like a tidal wave.

Both of the combatants were flung down from their spots in the air by the force of the energy blast. 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 explanation as to how I did it?" Ricky asked cockily, with a confident smile.

He could feel an overwhelming murderous intent coming 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 uncommon between geniuses.

"Nonsense!" Thomas sneered. The last 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 it comes 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 clashing rang through the air.

"Hah! Is that all you can do?" Ricky laughed 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 slapped his chest heavily. Suddenly, streams of black spiritual energy rose out of him like waves from in the ocean. Before Ricky could recognize what the attack was, the black 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.
