Born Almighty Warrior

Chapter 49 Two Complicated Hearts

Ricky's heart began to pound when he saw Xenia flush and breathe rapidly. He smelled her fragrant

aroma.

However, this feeling immediately vanished, as long as he thought of the terrifying change which had

happened to Xenia just now. To Ricky, she was now a freak.

Now, prominent meridians had shown themselves on Xenia's flushed face because the drug had

already taken effect on every part of her body. She would die once her meridians burst, if no measures

would be taken.

At this moment, Ricky felt hesitant.

Of course, he didn't want Xenia to die.

Besides, after that terrifying change, Xenia looked extremely alluring. Like other men, Ricky also had

some dirty ideas when he was confronted with the sight of such a beautiful woman.

"Gulp!" Ricky swallowed when Xenia kept scratching at him. "I have to sacrifice myself if there are no

other options."

He realized he had feelings for the girl.

...

'Devouring Skill! My Devouring Skill can drain the power of the drug!' Ricky suddenly thought of that.

He pulled out his knife, making a small cut on Xenia's arm. He then activated the power of Devouring

Skill and Devourer Zone to absorb the energy of the drug.

Devouring Skill was one of the Nine Supreme Skills in the Chaos Manual. It was capable of devouring

even the most fatal energy from a drug. Soon, the energy was almost completely drained.

Xenia's eyes rolled to the back of her head as she fainted.

"It worked!" Ricky whispered when he saw her grow quiet.

Ricky immediately sat cross-legged and transferred all the energy of the drug to his Devourer Zone.

Upon doing this, he activated the Devouring Fire in order to burn it and eliminate it from his system.

It took two whole hours for Ricky to burn the energy thoroughly.

However, the white whip that was Xenia's weapon of choice was already around his neck when he

came to life. He would certainly die if Xenia tightened her whip even just slightly.

"Xenia, you have no gratitude," Ricky scolded.

What happened? He saved her life but in return, she would kill him?

And Ricky felt the murderous intent in Xenia's cool eyes. A real urge to kill him then and there.

"You are right. I do want to kill you," Xenia said without any expression on her face before tightening

the whip slightly. Instantly, Ricky had trouble taking in air. She was choking him.

"I believed that you know I didn't hurt you! I took the drug out of your system!" Ricky said, his voice was

tight under the pressure of her whip.

He didn't want to be a fool who'd given it all up for a woman.

"But you have seen things you never should have," Xenia hissed.

Ricky immediately understood that Xenia's words meant her terrifying transformation.

"What do you mean? I haven't seen anything..." Ricky shook his head emphatically.

Xenia hesitated at this.

She was definitely not as cold hearted as she wanted to be seen. She never forgot that once, years

ago, they had been childhood sweethearts. She wouldn't have helped Ricky get into the Snow Sect

otherwise.

Besides, Ricky successfully cultivated to the eighth grade of Skin Refinement in such short time, which

made her astonished and touched her nostalgic heart as well.

And of course... Ricky had saved her life just now. She knew this to be true, even if she didn't

understand how he had drained the drug from her system.

To tell the truth, she really wanted to thank Ricky. But she had reservations.

Ricky still didn't have a spiritual meridian, which would impede his success in the future. Even if he

owned a five-star or more superior spiritual meridian, they still would never be at the same level.

So Xenia knew she had to sever all ties with Ricky.

But they had met here again. Was it fate?

Maybe killing Ricky was the only choice. And after all, Ricky knew her secret. It would be good enough

of a reason for Xenia to do that.

But she laid down her whip in the end after a heated debate in her own mind.

"Ricky, please make a promise," Xenia sighed.

"I understand." Ricky sighed with relief. At the position he was in, he wouldn't have been able to fight

back at all.

He stood up, and made an oath to Xenia.

It spoke volumes of his integrity and his character.

"Xenia, I want to know; when did you notice me being here?" Ricky asked.

"The moment that Jayden and I arrived," she replied nonchalantly.

Ricky was shocked, realizing that Xenia was not an ordinary warrior. She had a very fine set of skills.

Though Xenia and Jayden were both in the first grade of Blood Purification, Jayden was more powerful

than Xenia. But despite this fact, Xenia was able to immediately sense Ricky even if he thought he hid

himself well.

Ricky grew curious when he thought of her terrifying change. But he dared not ask about it.

"Farewell, then..." Ricky was anxious to leave this place.

He wanted to leave before Xenia changed her mind.

"Ricky, wait-" Xenia stopped him.

She split the five-hundred-year-old Magic Ice in half and handed Ricky one of the pieces. "I don't want

to owe you anything," she said, biting her lip.

"I know," Ricky said quietly and accepted her offering.

Perhaps, in Ricky's mind, he would have liked if Xenia owed him something.

Xenia might have felt the same way. But it was time to split ways.

Ricky looked down at the ground, turned around, and walked away.

"Is this the right thing to do? Let him go?" Xenia murmured as she watched him grow farther away.

"Anyway, could I even have the heart to kill him?"

...

Ricky didn't have any reason to stay at snowy mountains after he obtained the Magic Ice. He had no

desire to hunt the beasts, either.

Ricky briefly told Grace what had happened to him after he came back to the Snow Sect, and also

caught up briefly with Heather, before he began to cultivate in seclusion.

It was time to break through the First Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula and reached the

Second Degree with Magic Ice and Sacred Blood Crystal.

In preparation, Ricky spent the whole day calming himself down.

Xenia's words echoed in his mind "I don't want to owe you anything," not only upset him but also hit a

nerve with his self-esteem.

Ricky shut his eyes tightly. Weakness. It all came down to his weakness.

"Strength, I need to have powerful strength!" Ricky said as he clenched his fists and growled inwardly. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

With this, he rushed to his room and began the cultivation of the power of ice.
