Born Almighty Warrior

Chapter 42 The Powerful Runes

Ricky knew that the Energy Boosting Pill was quite powerful.

If the warriors took that kind of pill, it could help them quickly burn the blood vitality inside their body

and enhance their strength, making them as powerful as they could be for a whole hour.

There were no side effects, save for consumption of their blood vitality. And their blood vitality could be

replenished by a good meal.

Not many warriors of Blood Purification had the Energy Boosting Pill. Many Bone Reinforcement

warriors craved for it, too. No one expected that Dustin, a warrior of Skin Refinement, would possess

that pill.

"Master Grace, what do we do?" Heather exclaimed anxiously.

"This time, he really is in danger," Grace uttered with a grave face.

However, she couldn't do anything about it, for she didn't have the right to alter the rules of the ultimate

battle between Ricky and Dustin.

Maybe someone more influential than her could change the rules, but it was too late now.

"Ricky, I really hope you can find a way to beat him," Grace said under her breath, praying for Ricky.

But she didn't think his chances were good. Being Ricky's master, she knew his cultivation base and

skills very well.

...

"Go to hell!"

The Energy Boosting Pill only lasted an hour, so Dustin rushed Ricky, trying to take him down quickly.

Then he gathered the sword-light energy and swung with all his might.

This time, Ricky feared for his life the moment he saw Dustin's blade.

"You first!"

Ricky roared, glaring at Dustin in anger and gnashing his teeth. Then he burned his blood vitality and

activated the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula.

But everyone could see that it took a lot of effort for Ricky to do that.

Arms folded across his chest, Ricky tried to block Dustin's sword again.

All of a sudden, Ricky's blood gushed forth audibly, even though he had managed to block Dustin's

sword. His right arm had suffered a deep wound. Blood rapidly filled the rent and ran down his arm,

dripping onto the ground. Even his bone was visible.

Meanwhile, his body refining buffs disappeared.

"You're burning your blood vitality, huh? Let's see how much you have to burn!" Dustin taunted loudly,

and raised his long sword again.

This time, Ricky didn't try what he did last time, as he knew it would be in vain.

So he pulled out his long saber, hoping to fend off Dustin's blade.

However, it only took a couple parries, and then his long saber was broken again. But Dustin was just

getting started. He ran up to the wounded warrior and aimed a hammer kick at him, and his heel

smashed down onto Ricky's shoulder. Ricky started spitting blood and fell to the ground.

"Aha! Looks like you'll see hell before me!"

Dustin yelled and laughed, staring at Ricky who seemed helpless and in real trouble.

Suddenly, he jumped high in the air, gathering the black sword flashes and releasing the power of

sword-light. That done, he started his descent, getting ready to deal Ricky the coup de grace.

"Looks like the battle's over," several disciples uttered at the same time. Things didn't look good for

Ricky.

"I thought he was the miracle worker, but it seems he's met his match!" Some disciples started to be

disappointed in Ricky.

"Humph! He shouldn't have pissed off Dustin. We'll see if he lives through this."

...

"Master Grace!" At this moment, Heather leaned her head against Grace's chest. She couldn't watch.

Grace was also worried about Ricky, tears in her eyes.

Vivian sat on the sidelines, in a state of panic.

...

"I won't let it end this way! Everyone dies, but not like this!" Ricky roared hysterically, watching the

sword getting closer and closer.

At that moment, Ricky was about to burn his blood vitality one more time, and tried to fight back, using

his last iota of energy and strength. Maybe he could last another hour and the fight would be done.

But right then, the Blood Zone in his regained spiritual meridian started to change again.

Those mysterious runes suddenly shone and found their way into Ricky's mind.

'What's going on?' Sensing the runes' change, Ricky was shocked.

Subconsciously, his mind activated those runes. After that a few runes came out of the Blood Zone, Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

entered his meridians and moved to his fists in a flash.

At the same time, the powerful blood vitality in his spiritual meridian brought the might to his body and

made him as powerful as before.

'The blood vitality might be from those beasts, absorbed and stored in the Blood Zone, ' Ricky thought

to himself, shocked again.

But now he had no time to be astounded by this, Dustin's blade getting ever nearer.

"The mysterious runes! Don't let me down!"

After he shouted in his mind, Ricky's aura changed and grew, different from earlier. Like a fierce tiger

roused from his slumber, he stood up. He waved his fist encircled with runes and made contact with

Dustin's sword.

Bang!

Ricky's fist hit Dustin's sword, letting out a deafening sound. The two of them were faintly shrouded in

the powerful spiritual energy.

No one was surprised, and they all believed that Ricky was just making the final effort in his struggle

against Dustin.

However, when they were engulfed by the spiritual energy wave, a drastic change happened. Ricky's

fist directly hit Dustin's long sword with sword-light around it.

Those mysterious runes spread all over the sword, and like an endless smelter, melted it

instantaneously into nothingness.

Both Dustin and Ricky were stunned by what they saw, feeling that it was just a dream.

The iron long sword disappeared into thin air. How?

What on earth were those mysterious runes?

Ricky felt more and more confused at that moment.

Despite his astonishment, Ricky wasn't going to miss this chance. He could dispose of Dustin. While

Dustin was still in a state of shock, Ricky struck at Dustin's chest with his fist surrounded by the runes.

Since even his iron long sword could be melted by those mysterious runes, Dustin wouldn't be able to

block Ricky's attack. Effortlessly, Ricky's fist pierced Dustin's chest.

In a few moments the spiritual energy wave dissipated, and the fight was over.

Indignation in his eyes, Dustin dropped on the Death Arena with a thud. He couldn't die just like this.

He wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word and then gasped his last and expired.

Ricky stood on the Death Arena, but after the mysterious runes and the blood vitality provided by the

Blood Zone faded away, Ricky was exhausted and dropped to his knees.

"What just happened? Why did Dustin die instead?" Everyone was deeply shocked when something

like that happened. All of this was against all expectations. Everyone bet on Dustin, and didn't know

what to do if they were lost.

Just now, Ricky was at a huge disadvantage and he might definitely die by Dustin's attack. But he

turned the tables, and Dustin was unable to react. This all seemed like a dream.

Grace, Heather and Vivian were also stunned by what they saw.

Elder Abbott stared at the scene in shock.

Being a demi-immortal and a strong warrior, he even couldn't figure out how Ricky had done it. It was a

single punch that took Dustin out.

But now that he had the spiritual sense, he could felt that there was something powerful inside Ricky's

body.

"Weird! But truly interesting!" Elder Abbott said in his mind, narrowing his eyes.

'It's finally over! But what are these runes and the Blood Zone? How do I do any of this?' Ricky couldn't

help but wonder again.
