"This sucks! Kurt has already integrated his own energy with Queenie's claw. At this rate, it's only a matter of time before Kurt defeats her!" Ricky said worriedly, intending to step in and help Queenie out.
"Wait! Take it easy, will you? I don't think Kurt could defeat Queenie so quickly anyway. She must have something more up her sleeve," the Dragon Intent Grass immediately said in a bid to discourage Ricky from interfering.
Sure enough, when Ricky concentrated back in the fight, he noticed that Queenie didn't look alarmed at all, even in the face of Kurt's attack. Instead, she appeared calm and collected with no sign of distress.
"Heavenly Ice Smashing!"
In the next breath, Queenie had turned her whole body into heavenly ice. Then she activated the power of the Heavenly Ice Mutant to the extreme.
However, she didn't condense any kind of power to counter the attack. She, instead, stood still and allowed Kurt's powerful attack to strike her body.
Crack! In the blink of an eye, the forceful move ravaged and shattered Queenie into a thousand fragile pieces.
Ricky watched, struck dumb, as he wondered if Queenie had died. He didn't expect that she would do nothing to resist the attack. At this moment, Ricky felt the feeling of loss and anger swirl inside him like a storm. Why didn't she defend herself? Did she run out of time, or did she realize that she couldn't win?
"I'll kill you!" he then shouted at Kurt furiously, as all the emotions inside him overwhelmed him. Between one breath and the next, he burst out all his killing intent and prepared to attack.
"Brat, what are you doing? Can't you tell that she is still alive?" the Dragon Intent Grass asked him.
Its words stopped Ricky in his tracks. "What? She is still alive?" Ricky asked doubtfully.
"It's not just hearsay that the Heavenly Ice Mutant would not die even when it's smashed into pieces," the Dragon Intent Grass said. "That's the true power of the Heavenly Ice Mutant. As long as there is a piece of broken ice, the owner of the Heavenly Ice Mutant will not die, unless she was attacked by a warrior who is much more powerful than her."
"So, the Heavenly Ice Mutant will not die even when it is broken..." Ricky murmured to himself in admiration.
Clatter!
As he said these words, the broken ice pieces that had shattered earlier suddenly gathered in an instant. The chunks of ice started to fuse until a figure began to form—Queenie!
"I didn't expect that your Crimson Devil tribe's cultivation method has already perfectly merged with the energy of the Supreme Ultimate," Queenie said in a low voice while she studied Kurt int
considerable distance from each other, as blood and spit shot forth from their mouths. They were both severely injured.
It was not until then that the sword light dispersed, from which a handsome young man in a white robe stepped out. The strong sword light in the void turned into a sword in his hand.
"It's you, Tony!" Queenie said coldly as soon as she saw the young man in white. "Sawyer?"
"Ha-ha, I'm flattered. I didn't expect that you would miss me so much. I believe that I did the right thing by proposing to you last time. Otherwise, you would not have missed me so much." Another voice came through as soon as Queenie's voice trailed away. Then another young man in a white robe showed up.
This young man in white might not be as handsome as Tony, but the evil aura he was emitting indicated that he was more dangerous than Tony.
"Shut up, Sawyer! Or I'll tear your mouth apart!" Queenie warned coldly.
"Ha-ha, if it were in the past, I would be afraid of your threat. But now..." Sawyer sneered.
Then, before he even stopped speaking, his body sprang into action. He condensed a fatal strike, as killing intent pervaded around him in a thick cloud.
At this moment, Ricky's eyes were fixed on Sawyer carefully. He was on full alert because once Sawyer attacked Queenie, he wanted to be ready to use the Space-shrinking Pace to stop him.
Fortunately, Sawyer's killing intent seemed to target Kurt completely.
In the blink of an eye, Sawyer and Kurt tangled together in a fierce battle.
However, it was a short-lived fight, for just a few rounds later, Sawyer successfully defeated and killed Kurt.
"Ricky, tell me honestly. Did you know that these two people were here all along?" Queenie asked telepathically in a cold voice.
