Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 600 Mighty Ghosts

Hearing what Terrence and Soar said, Ricky and the others just couldn't wait to get a closer look at the tree.

"However, before we get to the Enlightening Tree, we have some troubles to deal with,” Ricky said as a flash of fighting spirit appeared in his eyes.

Something let out a strong howl in the distance. As Ricky's voice trailed off, a horrible howl was heard clearly by Ricky and his friends.

Those skeletons which had been floating on the surface of the lake were now moving violently as they flowed along the dark water. Tens of thousands of giant dark shadows that looked like ghosts then appeared out of nowhere.

Apart from that, the dark ghosts were constantly absorbing the energy of the Dark Enlightenment from the dark water.

Amidst the howling and roaring of the ghosts, they casted murderous glances as sharp as arrows at Ricky and his friends. If those glances could kill, they all would've died in an instant.

However, in spite of what they were capable of doing, the ghosts failed to draw the attention of Ricky and his friends who were still busy straining their eyes to figure out what was at the center of the lake.

Standing at the center were two shadows. One of them looked like a human that emitted a terribly powerful aura. The other shadow seemed more like in the form of a tiger or wolf.

"Without a doubt, they must be the leaders of this swarm of ghosts,” Ricky said with certainty.

"I can deal with the ghost in the form of a tiger. But that human-shaped ghost is way more powerful than me. I'm afraid that its power may be at the peak of a second-class middle spiritual king,” Terrence replied apprehensively.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it," Ricky answered. It was clear that his morale had been boosted.

"Of course it's yours. Who else can be a match for that prick?" Terrence laughed.

"Soar, I'm sure you can handle fighting those hundreds of minor ghosts and not be defeated, right? Actually I think you might even enjoy fighting them,” Terrence turned around and said to Soar with a grin on his face.

"That sucks. Who are you ordering me to deal with those bastards again? You are robbing me of the fun and I'm starting to get bored,” Soar replied unpleasantly after hearing what Terrence just said to him.

"But you're right. I can't win against either of those ghost leaders and you have to leave those minor ghosts to me. It's totally my fault that I'm much weaker than you and Ricky."

"Ha-ha!" Ricky and Terrence exchanged glances as they laughed hysterically.

"We're also here to help!” Samson and his sister said. After having a proper rest, they had finally fully recovered their health and strength.

"Then, you three great warriors should be able to kick their asses without getting yourselves hurt,” Ricky said as he felt confident that they wouldn't be stupid enough to make mistakes that would result in them getting badly wounded.

At the same time, the ghosts were beginning to be quite restless as they started to move forward. Their bodies emitted Dark Enlightenment as they suddenly crawled out of the lake.

Their bloody eyes were filled with greed and killing intention. They craved for human blood and flesh. They just couldn't resist the temptation to eat human bones and drink their blood. They always found the taste of human flesh much better than that of the Enlightening Fruits.

Ricky and Terrence ignored the minor ghosts and left Soar and his helpers to take care of them. They moved quickly across the surface of the lake and stopped at the center of the lake, floating right in front of the two ghost leaders.

"Intruders, sacrifice your flesh and blood!" the two ghost leaders said in a crackling sound after seeing the two human beings before them.

However, their affirmative and firm voices obviously lacked psychic intelligence. They clearly knew nothing apart from recognizing the two opponents as meat and blood that they could consume. "We may be lucky today. It seems that these two ghost leaders only have a little psychic intelligence," Ricky said to Terrence.

"Having eaten the Enlightening Fruits for so many years did help them gain some psychic intelligence," Terrence answered with a nod. As his voice trailed off, both Ricky and Terrence shifted their attention towards the black fruits. They knew those fruits were what they were looking for—the legendary Enlightening Fruits.

But before they could get their hands on any of those desirable fruits, they had to eliminate the two ghost leaders standing in their way first.

"Buddy, I think you should take on the human-shaped ghost,” Terrence whispered to Ricky. He then turned himself into the Black Peafowl and flew towards the tiger-shaped ghost leader at the speed of light.

His sudden movement and attack angered his opponent.

It howled like a cornered beast as it rushed towards Terrence.

Terrence's superior blood could usually be sensed thousands of miles away and thus he had successfully drawn the attention of the ghosts long before he had realized their very existence. Within several seconds, Terrence and the tiger-shaped ghost leader had already exchanged hundreds of blows. In spite of owning a small quantity of psychic intelligence, the ghost leader was crazily driven by his blood-thirsty desires. At the very beginning of the battle, it had already used its dark power.

Terrence was beaten several times before he regained his composure. He tried his best to defend and attack at the same time. It seemed that their battle wasn't going to end anytime soon.

"A different enemy to kill. But I will be the one left standing in the end. After surviving this battle, I'll have a more profound understanding of the Killing Swordsmanship," Terrence muttered to himself in a serious tone as he felt his arms and legs aching from the battle.

In spite of all the difficulties, his determination to win was boosted even more.

"Terrence, hold on. I'm certain this battle will teach you a lot about the further meaning of the Killing Swordsmanship,” Ricky said to Terrence through the telepathic link when he felt the rise of Terrence's confidence.

"You should also proceed cautiously. The human-shaped ghost leader is not some weakling you can easily take on," Terrence replied to warn Ricky of the possible dangers.

"Thanks. But we have got a competition before us. Between you and me, whoever kills his enemy first is the winner. Do you like how that sounds?" Ricky smiled.

"You're on!"

Boom!

The next moment, Ricky also started his own attack against the human-shaped ghost leader.

In the distance end of the lake, Soar and his helpers were also engaged in their intense fighting. Since Soar had cultivated the Heaven Melting Fire and the Heaven Melting Pagoda, the hundreds of minor ghosts couldn't really impose any sort of serious threat towards him

Several rounds of fighting later, Ricky realized that the human-shaped ghost leader could actually be as strong as himself. Besides, the sudden outburst of its dark power kind of overpowered his own strength.

More than that, Ricky had also found out that the human-shaped ghost leader was using the same fighting skills as that of the tiger-shaped ghost leader.

“My best guess is that, those ugly ghosts are cultivating martial arts solely based on the different types of wandering ghosts they were born from, * Ricky thought to himself.

'This could really take a while!"

Ricky diverted all his energy into his infernal power. In an instant, the chaotic fire runes and the devouring runes burst out wildly. They were his best weapons to deal with the dark power.

It worked.

The human-shaped ghost was severely wounded. It howled in great pain as the waves of the lake water ran higher. It carried more intense dark power as well as the strong smell of blood.

It then punched several times as the dark water became even more violent. The water gathered and turned into an enormous whale. It howled and not far from its body, the Dark Enlightenment and the Killing Enlightenment were transformed quickly into a bloody and dark sword that rapidly flew towards Ricky.

"Whoever this ghost leader was in its past life must have been a really excellent warrior before he died," Ricky said in a serious tone as he was impressed by what the ghost leader could do.

Without any hesitation and without wasting any time in thinking, Ricky brought out his Iron Destroyer. He concentrated the fire power and threw his devouring runes towards the direction of the incoming dark sword.

The collision produced earsplitting sounds and huge explosions.

The heat waves spread far and seemed to have engulfed everybody and everything around the collision, including Ricky and the human-shaped ghost leader.
