Chapter 1056 The Battle With Trump Cards

"That's because he has to kill seven of his most valued people so he could cultivate the Ruthless Killing Skill to the highest level," the Dragon Intent Grass said in a severe tone.

"What? Does he really have to kill seven of the closest people in his life?" Ricky could not help but exclaim in disbelief.

To Ricky, even the most savage creatures would surely have something or somebody that they treasured and adored so much. But after hearing what the Dragon Intent Grass had just said, he was stunned to find out that he was wrong after all when it came to Gerald.

Even when presented with facts, Ricky was still in denial of how it was possible.

"Ricky, perhaps the so-called extreme power does not exist in the world. On the other hand, I think that once a creature cultivates the Ruthless Killing Skill to the highest level, its power absolutely has already reached the extreme," the Dragon Intent Grass stated.

"Every time it kills one of its closest creatures, its heart becomes a little bit colder, and a drop of cruel blood will start to emerge in its heart. This drop of ruthless blood is condensed from the blood of the murdered creature. When it kills the last one, seven drops of ruthless blood will fuse with its heart, which soon will form an actual brutal heart.

When this happens, the creature who did this will no longer know mercy, but only merciless killing intent in its heart.

Given this, the ruthless killing intent will automatically lead it to cultivate its respective ruthless killing skill, making it like a kind of inheritance. Needless to say, this ruthless killing intent is manipulating this creature."

"I mean, to cultivate the Ruthless Killing Skill at the expense of the lives of seven closest creatures? I can't believe someone would do that," Ricky said in an inaudible voice. "This skill is too powerful and could lead to huge consequences once used in the wrong hands. Once such a creature grows stronger and becomes a powerful warrior, it will kill all the other creatures for the sake of its own killing intent."

"That's true. However, let me tell you that no such creature has done this before, at least not yet," the Dragon Intent Grass said. "You know how I am certain? That's because I know for a fact that righteous warriors like you will never let such a creature grow."

"In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with justice or evil itself. However, I will always choose to follow my heart. Beyond anything, I will not allow such a creature to exist. Even if it has no animosity with me, I will kill it and prevent all of humanity from suffering its wrath and greed," Rick

t as the name suggests, this killing skill is so ruthless that these drops of blood even came from seven of his close relatives," Ricky uttered.

Meanwhile, he activated the Heaven Illuminating Fire and used it to set the seven drops of ruthless blood ablaze.

On the other hand, as Gerald suffered on the ground, he lost both his ruthless power and heart. With his Ruthless Killing Skill destroyed, he and his body slowly returned to its normal state.

Now that he was back to the way he originally was, the only aura that he exuded was that of an ordinary warrior.

"It looks like Gerald didn't really cultivate the Ruthless Killing Skill at the start of his cultivation!" Ricky said in a weak voice. "Is it possible that he inherited the Ruthless Killing Skill?"

"Well, I guess that could be the only explanation," the Dragon Intent Grass answered.

"I think he's still breathing. Do you want to finish him off?" it then vaguely suggested.

Hearing this made Ricky confused. He might not be that merciful, but all he knew was that he wanted to let Gerald go at that moment.

'Do I really want to spare him? Is it really worth it?' Ricky asked himself.

"Father, Mother, and all of those that t I have killed, please forgive me. I'm truly sorry," Gerald pleased right after he lost the Ruthless Killing Skill.

At that moment, tears started to roll down his cheeks. Shedding tears was already foreign to him, for he could not remember the last time he cried.

"Did he regain his humanity after his Ruthless Killing Skill was destroyed?" the Dragon Intent Grass asked in shock.

"Perhaps, I should give him a chance," Ricky muttered under his breath.

Despite Ricky's mercy, Gerald could not find it in his heart to forgive himself.
