Chapter 118 The Earth Fire Land
Chapter 118 The Earth Fire Land
The demi-immortal assassin cried out in pain as his arm was shattered to pieces by Elder Samuel's
large hammer.
Although the demi-immortal warrior's strength and cultivated body nearly separated from his mortal
physical body, they managed to remain connected. After his arm was broken, most of his power had
drained out of his system.
As for Elder Samuel, he was also severely injured and in great pain as the demi-immortal assassin's
sword had made a deep stab wound in his left rib. Now that Elder Samuel was injured, the demi-
immortal assassin took the opportunity to escape.
"You better watch out, Samuel! Because of what you have done to me today, I will seize every chance
to take revenge on the Snow Sect from this day forth!" he snarled threateningly as he leaped onto the
Black Vicious Pengornis. In no time, he was a black spec in the sky.
He abandoned his colleague, the assassin at the peak of Blood Purification, who was still doing his
best to fend off Ricky and Bertha.
"You're just a demi-immortal who's lost most of your strength and power, so you can't return to the
Endless Shadow anymore. Besides, how dare you be so reckless to attack a disciple of the Snow
Sect? You were just asking for trouble!" Elder Samuel responded coldly.
But he didn't chase after the killer, as it was pointless. He was injured and might not be able to slay the
killer even if he could catch up with him.
After all, Elder Samuel had succeeded in breaking the demi-immortal assassin's arm, which showed
the magnitude of his strength and prestige.
"Your leader has abandoned you and left. Do you still insist on a futile struggle against us?" Ricky
asked his opponent, feeling rather impatient and annoyed.
"I promise that if you tell us who hired you to attack us, I will let you depart with your life!"
"Your words are very tempting, but I will never give in! The moment I signed up for this job, I had to
accept that everything is not up to me!" It was the first time that the assassin had made a proper reply. From NôvelDrama.Org.
But after saying this, he took his sword and sliced cleanly across his neck.
"Oh..." Ricky was quite startled at this.
"Don't be so shocked. It's normal for them to take their own lives if they fail at their missions," Bertha
remarked, withdrawing her silver sword. It was obvious that she knew quite a bit about them.
"But it's still a pity that we haven't figured out who commissioned the Endless Shadow to kill me!" Ricky
said, slightly shaking his head.
"It must have been Elder Logan!" Elder Samuel came down from the air a little unsteadily. He
continued, "It is quite expensive to hire the killers from the Endless Shadow. Generally, only the
warriors of demi-immortal level can afford that."
"Master! You're injured!"
"Elder Samuel, are you alright?" Ricky and Bertha exclaimed, worried at the sight of the wound at his
left rib.
"I'm fine. It's a superficial injury. I will recover nicely after healing the wound with my innate spiritual
energy for several hours," Elder Samuel replied reassuringly.
Ricky and Bertha heaved a sigh of relief.
"It seems that Elder Logan can't wait to take action!" Ricky said, indignation flashing in his eyes. If he
were only powerful enough to defeat Elder Logan, he would never let him get away with this!
"Right now, your most dangerous foe may no longer be Elder Logan, but the members of the Endless
Shadow. Once they have started a job on you, they will keep pursuing you. They might attack you
again very soon and will keep on doing that until you are killed," Elder Samuel explained.
"And you must know that they appear and disappear mysteriously. Even if the sect chief takes action
against them personally, he might not be able to keep track of their whereabouts."
Ricky grew morose at finding out about this.
Ricky began to be a little scared, at the thought that someone might lurk around him to launch a fatal
surprise attack at any time.
'Let's wait and see who will win in the end and have the last laugh!' Ricky thought furiously to himself.
Although he knew that avoiding any trouble would be impossible from now on, he would pluck up the
courage to face everything that came his way.
"We should leave here first. We can talk about it later!" Elder Samuel suggested.
Then they clambered onto the Snow Vulture and immediately left.
They made their way towards the Earth Fire Land, which was where the Casting Guild was located.
After traveling for half a month, they finally reached the Earth Fire Land.
It took them this long even if the Snow Vulture of Bone Reinforcement flew at high speeds, almost as
fast as those at the demi-immortal level. Once again, Ricky also realized that he was still just a warrior
of limited horizons and experience.
He would only find out how large the Misty South was when he went out to see the world on his own.
When they just entered the Earth Fire Land, Ricky felt that it was extremely hot and dry there, like a
scorching desert. Even as a warrior at the fifth grade of Blood Purification, Ricky had to employ his
spiritual energy to counteract the extreme heat.
He felt extremely uncomfortable, not used to such an unusually hot place.
He used to stay in the Snow Land which was covered with snow everywhere with an ice-cold
environment. The Earth Fire Land's climate was the complete opposite. In this case, it was impossible
for Ricky, an inferior warrior, to adjust himself to the sudden change of the environment in such a short
time.
Elder Samuel told Ricky that the reason why the Earth Fire Land was so hot was that in ancient times,
some flames of the sacred fire dropped down there and changed the climate, making it into the Earth
Fire Land.
"It's incredible! Could some flames really change such a spacious area?" Ricky uttered in disbelief.
"The strong warriors in ancient times were omnipotent, capable of doing anything. Their strength was
unimaginable! Even a grain of dust, a drop of water and a grass could change the world, let alone a few
powerful flames!" Elder Samuel explained.
"You don't have to think about it too much now, Ricky. When you become an innate spiritual king with
your horizons broadened, your knowledge will expand, and you will learn things for yourself!"
...
"Now that the Earth Fire Land is very hot and dry, it was a suitable place to casting weapons, as forging
a weapon is dependent on fire. I am sure you know this well.
The Earth Fire Land has the largest number of casting geniuses among all of the places in the Realm
of Wildness or other large realms. That's why the Casting Guild was founded in the Earth Fire Land,"
Elder Samuel explained.
"Casting geniuses? I really want to meet them and challenge them to a competition!" Ricky said
aggressively, with an expression of defiance in his eyes.
"Perhaps you're the only casting genius for several realms around who would ever dare make such
bold remarks. You really are so reckless!" Bertha sighed, pouting her lips.
But to herself, she had to admit that Ricky was the most talented warrior she'd ever seen in the aspect
of casting.
"Ha-ha! I was born brainy and fearless!" Ricky laughed at Bertha's combined complaint and
compliment.
"You're not modest in the least!" Bertha retorted, shooting him a disapproving glance.
"Alright, you two. We're going to head for the Casting City where the Casting Guild is. Mind your
manners and words, because even if I'm a casting master of the Demi-spirit Level, I'm not held in as
high regard here," Elder Samuel reminded them. This was it! Their destination!
