Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 424 The Eight Killing Replication

They pressed their lips together as a few miles separated them. They stood face to face with their eyes glued to each other. Both of them were on guard and wore their serious looks.

The collision made the both of them realize just how strong their opponent was. Neither of them could defeat the other easily. With this in mind, they grew more and more cautious.

Although Sham had the capabilities to hit Ricky in an instant, he was moving too fast. As a result, he failed to gather enough power and wasn't able to harm Ricky who utilized the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula. It was no exaggeration to say that his attack was nothing more than a breeze sweeping over Ricky's face.

Ricky did not perform well either. Despite the fact that he could resist Sham's attack, it was the only thing he could do. He was unable to act fast enough and could not launch his own aggressive attack towards Sham. Merely defending the self wasn't supposed to be the ultimate purpose of this fight. Speed mattered a lot in the martial arts world. A little bit of lag would bring disaster to any warrior.

'So, this is what I lack, huh? Speed! After I'm done with you and once I get out of this place, I'll have to find myself some kind of method to learn how to move much faster. Otherwise, speed will remain to be my only weakness. That is not good for future cultivations, ' Ricky thought to himself discreetly.

"How could I possibly hit? Hmmm, this is definitely a big problem, *

he wondered as he squinted his eyes and furrowed his eyebrows. “It seems that I have no choice but to use my other powerful methods. He must be thinking the same thing. He probably has already made up his mind to approach me and then concentrate on attacking me in order to overcome my Nine-degree Body Refining Formula.’

He was right. Sham was thinking the exact same thing. He figured that the only way to put a quick end to this fight was to dash towards his opponent and strike him closely. Otherwise, both of them would eventually get completely exhausted and even if he won in the end, he would become too weak to fight those who were keeping a close eye and ready to tear him apart once given the chance.

Sham was looking forward to beating up his opponent and claiming the victory. And so was Ricky. Both of them firmly believed that they would be the winner, so it was naturally that they wanted to get everything over with as soon as possible.

"It's time to slog it out!" the warriors who surrounded them began to whisper among themselves. Seized by excitement, they tried their best not to breathe heavily. They watched the battle very closely, eyes not moving at all. Missing any magnificent scene was the last thing they would like. "I'm going to wave my soft-iron sword towards you. You better prepare for it. It will punch thousands of holes on your body. The Nine-degree Body Refining Formula, right? It shall disappear along with your body very soon!" Sham growled in a deep and malicious tone as his red eyes shone with ferocious light.

At the same time, he placed his soft-iron sword against his chest and was ready to fight.

"Oh, is that right? Why don't you try me!" Ricky teased back as his voice turned indifferent.

"Yes, sure. I promise you that this moment is going to be the last time you'll get to breathe in this world,” Sham roared as he raised his voice.

He immediately channeled his power and strengthened it to its highest level. Consequently, a strong black spiritual energy emitted from his body. Everything looked awful.

This thick dark spiritual energy absorbed the killing intent that surrounded him. It grew bigger and bigger until finally, it split into eight blobs.

"Show me where you are, my Shadowy Replications!" Sham waved his hand up and down to summon his energy. As he shouted from the top of his lungs, he threw his spiritual energy towards the eight blobs. In the blink of an eye, they shaped themselves into the figure of Sham! Eight figures of Sham appeared! They were exactly the same in terms of strength and breath.

The only difference was that the eight of them had shallow bodies. They were nothing more than shadows, at least for the time being.

"You must be kidding me, man! This is the Shadowy Replication, a mysterious and evil cultivation method of the Endless Shadow! I guess he does live up to his title as the first talented slayer of the Endless Shadow. He just formed eight replications of himself!" the crowed exclaimed in disbelief. All of them were taken aback by Sham's powerful display of his strength.

"Yeah, eight. How incredible! This is really rare, isn't it? I've heard that the two deputy leaders of his organization, who are both middle spiritual kings, could only summon eight Shadowy Replications through all their years of continuous cultivation. You know, they've been practicing for more than centuries, yet forming eight shadows is the highest they could attain!" another one echoed.

"Oh, eight replications. Marvelous. Though they are not physically the same as the creator, they still share the same strength and the same mind. I'm pretty sure they are as powerful as four or five real versions of Sham. Ricky is in a lot of trouble now. It wouldn't be easy for him to survive this."

"Let's just wait and observe! I can't wait to see how he plans on fighting back! He might surprise us. You know, he's someone who never fails to surprise the people around him."

"Eight replications, huh? You know what? I'm feeling kind of flattered that you felt the need to create eight shadows just to deal with me," Ricky said as his face turned more serious. This was by no means a good sign. He definitely did not want to see eight copies of Sham in front of him.

"I hate to say it. But I must admit that you are incredibly strong. So I will no longer hold back nor hide any of my powers and methods in this fight against you. I utterly understand that it's quite difficult to deal with you. I will do whatever I can. Look, I am going to finish you right here and right now," Sham and his eight replications all said in unison.

Before the voice faded, eight drops of blood gushed out from between Sham's eyebrows. They then flew towards the eight replications and fused into their bodies. As a result, the shadows became much more physically solid and real. They were not as hollow as they used to be before absorbing his blood.

These drops of blood, of course, were not blood essence. They were just some of his blood which was relatively purer. Otherwise, five drops of blood essence would have cost Sham his life, let alone eight drops. If that was the case, then Ricky wouldn't have to fight anymore. Sham would just fall and die because of the lack of blood essence in his body.

"So, they become more real as you feed them your blood, right?" Ricky said as he secretly activated all his power, preparing for the upcoming attack from Sham.

"Swish, swish!" The next moment, the eight replications along with Sham rushed towards Ricky and besieged him. Standing in the center of his enemies, Ricky took a quick glance on all of them.

"My Eight Killing Replications, go and kill him for me now!" As the nine Sham all roared fiercely at the same time, they also began to move.

Holding their swords, the eight replications swirled fast in the air and channeled all their malicious energies and concentrated them in their swords. They then dashed towards Ricky like eight enormous storms. At same time, Sham was also doing the same thing aiming at Ricky.

Now, Ricky was about to be pierced by eight vicious swords. And there was also one spinning towards him from above. There was literally no place for him to hide.

Each Sham had employed their strength to the largest extent. Ricky sensed danger and knew he was stuck in an extremely sticky situation.

Sham had claimed that his sword would pierce a thousand holes on Ricky's body.

Ricky was pretty sure that with his nine swords, Sham was not exaggerating and that he could definitely be true to his words, unless Ricky made another extraordinary move.

Without any hesitation, he burst out his flames. Immediately, his body was engulfed by the blazing fire and the chaotic fire runes.

"The Flame Torrent!"

As he roared, his body integrated itself with the chaotic fire runes and turned into a huge torrent that swept over his surroundings.

"The Flaming Cage!"

Meanwhile, he also utilized his Omnipotent Skill.

Right in front of everyone's eyes, the Flame Torrent he had changed into, separated and formed hundreds of burning circles. They spread out in all directions and surrounded his virtual space. Sham and his replications fanned the air.

"Wh... What is going on? What did I just see? How could he turn his body into flames and disappear in the air?" This scene just made all the warriors’ jaws drop. Their hearts were seized by great disbelief.

"Is there even any known method that could do this? Have you heard of any?" another one asked Before their whispers and puzzles even had the chance to be discussed or answered, the burning flames once again appeared in the air out of nowhere and formed a giant cage. It approached and trapped Sham along with his spinning replications.

Torrents made of flames lingered above the burning cage. What was more, crimson runes danced on the torrents as well

The Flame Torrents, which were strong and looked like large waves, ran towards the nine figures stuck in the cage's center.

Sham and his replications did not just stand there to accept their doom. Instead, they began to spin in the air quickly once again and formed nine storms. They then dashed towards different directions in an attempt to break Ricky's Flaming Cage.

"Bang! Bang!" They collided with the cage as they carried their swords towards nine directions with great force and created earsplitting crackling sounds. They were engulfed by the Flame Torrents. "Boom! Boom!"

The powerful collision created more than just sounds. The space around the Flaming Cage was warped because of the strong explosion. And if one would take a closer look, they would see that the space cracked like glass.

Hundreds of huge Flame Torrents then swallowed Sham's dark spiritual energy, just like the volcano erupted and engulfed the tornado. The torrents then ran wild and dashed around madly. They all collided with the glow tent as the flames splattered around.

The collision shook the giant dragon meridian heavily. It shivered so violently that the competition platform beneath them collapsed.
