Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 570 The Unexpected Enemy

As the hefty stalactite door gradually opened, all the warriors were greeted by a faint yet, evidentlypure scent. It was beautifully refreshing and comforting. They felt as though a garden of strongenergy was awaiting them behind the door.

They were all innate spiritual kings. They could sense truly powerful energy. Only something sountouched could energize them in this manner. It was obvious that the Quintessence of Heaven andEarth in this cave was of the purest and highest quality.

Everything outside the stone door was enveloped in darkness, but deep inside, there was a world oflight. The cave was filled with stalactites, behind each of which was a different kind of holy andbright light. Hung from the cave's ceiling, they were continuously dripping magic water.

They walked around this damp and cold place for hours before they discovered an enormously thickcolumn of stalactite. It had grown to touch the ground and serve as the backbone of this cave. Itwas a sight of raw beauty.

"Let's go inside now. The Quintessence of Heaven and Earth should be in the center of this cave,"Scar suggested eagerly.

Wasting no more time, the group carefully and strategically found their way into the depths of thismysterious cavern.

"Remember what I said about seeing you again, very soon, Russell? Well, here we are, meeting eachother in just six hours." Just then, they all heard a familiar voice. Ricky instantly recognized it—it wasGarrett.

Following the greetings, several figures showed up out of the blue.

They were none other than Garrett, Keyon, Jim and Josiah.

"We've been waiting for you here for a long time, you know,” Garrett continued with a strangesmile, looking directly at Ricky. He didn't lose eye contact.

Ricky's and his companions’ faces darkened the moment they saw these four people. He didn'trespond for quite a while, clearly trying to contain his anger.

'I knew it. I knew there was some scheme behind Garrett's cunning smile. I was right about thesebastards. They just wouldn't give up the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth so easily. I neverexpected that they would go so far as to wait here ahead of time, though. Such shameless thieves!"Ricky thought to himself full of disdain and frustration.

"Well, you're probably wondering why we're here so early, right? It's quite easy to figure, especiallyfor you. After all, anyone would come for such a valuable treasure like the Quintessence of Heavenand Earth as soon as possible. The longer you leave it out there, the more troubles you mightencounter on your way. Isn't that what happened with you as well?" Looking at Ricky's sour face,Garrett enjoyably went on teasing him. There was a triumphant smile on his face, as though he hadwon the treasure himself.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I want to sincerely thank you for opening the door for us with the BloodEssence Stone. Without your assistance, we wouldn't have been able to break the strong array onthe stalactite door. I doubt if even a demi-spiritual emperor could deal with IT. You really are a bighelp, Russell!" he said.

"Josiah, you cheater! How dare you violate the agreement made by the ancestors of the three halls!"Scar snarled at Josiah when he could no longer restrain his fury. Hearing those cheeky words fromthem really pushed him over the edge. There was coldness in his eyes that was prepared to kill.Everyone knew that it was Josiah who leaked the location of this cave to Garrett and his men."Agreement? I beg your pardon?” Josiah smirked with indifference. "Really, Scar, the world of martialarts is under the law of the jungle. Do you still believe in any agreements? I don't have to tell youthese things. You should know that only strength and deception can have the final say here. Afterall, you have always followed these principles, haven't you?" Josiah went on mocking them with hislips twisting into a sneer.

"It has been seventy years. I don't have to remind you that our Spear Hall doesn't have the right toenjoy the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth for a whole bloody seventy years! Such being the case,why not help ourselves to it? It's better than watching you guys enjoy it alone, anyway." Josiahshrugged.

"Damn, you bastard!" Scar couldn't help but curse watching Josiah being this outrageously ugly.

He was well aware that there was some truth in Josiah's words, though. It was indeed a world whereonly the strong could be the predators, and where promises had been worn down desperately thin.Scar didn't respond this time. He knew that if his Saber Hall failed today, he would be stoopingdown to the level of these bastards standing in front of him. They had arranged a competition todecide the owner of the treasure. They could have any number of fights, until the loser couldscramble for the treasure no more.

"If my memory serves right, you have a secret space where we could hide, right?" Scar asked Rickyvia telepathy. "I will try to hold them off, while you all get to a safe place. Do you think you canmake it, Ricky?" Before Ricky could answer, Scar quickly added, "If it's not too much trouble, pleasetake the three disciples of our hall with you.” There was a hint of worry in his voice.

"Now, the Garuda tribe has revealed their true nature, they would not show any mercy to our SaberHall. So, please, protect my disciples for me. I swear in the name of my warrior spirit that they arethe most loyal men. You can trust them," Scar pleaded.

"I get it, Scar. Don't worry! They can come with me," Ricky answered without hesitation hearingScar's plan.

With his mind put at rest, Scar turned to the enemies. He paid no attention to Josiah anymore.Instead, he looked at Garrett this time, as he knew that he was the leader and decision-maker oftheir team now.

"The Garuda tribe is one of the biggest and most respected tribes in the Oriental Realm. Do youreally think it is appropriate to take others’ property by force? Are you sure you want to bring yourentire tribe shame and misery?" Scar asked in a cold and sharp voice.

"Ahhh, so, you mean the treasure in this cave is somebody's property? Now, you're joking. It wasnature that made this wonderful place. Therefore, neither the cave nor the treasures it holds belongto anyone. Everything here is a gift from the nature, and whoever is able to replace is free to take it,"Garrett argued, denying any misdoings Scar charged him with.

"Now, let's cut the crap. I can give you two options out of this situation and you can tell me yourpreference. Either you take your own lives, or we help you say goodbye to this world,”

Garrett declared with murderous intent in his laughter. He had totally dropped his act and revealedhis true self. He was no longer the modest and gentle prince of a big tribe, but a spiteful, ruthlessand greedy warrior who craved for all the treasures in the world.

Everyone could sense that Garrett was actually ordering them to die, as if he had already won thegame.

"Ah, right. How forgetful of me! You do have a third option, Russell. I will be very happy to spareyour life if you become my servant. What do you say?" Garrett offered, as if he had really forgottenthis so called "good idea.”

"Thank you so much Garrett, but I'm not really used to being others’ servant. However, I willwelcome anyone who is willing to serve me," Ricky replied with a calm smile. Now that he had seenwhat Garrett was really like, he didn't feel so angry anymore. After all, Garrett was obviously a rascal,and it was just silly to expect much out of someone like him.

"Ha-ha! I knew it. It seems like we have a lot in common. What a pity that we can't become friends!”Garrett said, shaking his head with feigned disappointment.

"Oh, I'm certain that we share some similarities, or else you wouldn't have offered me the job toserve you. No one likes a servant who doesn't understand his master, am I right?" Ricky showed nofear at all. He spoke with utter confidence.

Ricky's aura and nonchalance began bothering the enemies now. The calmer Ricky looked, the moreunpredictable he appeared to be.

In fact, they started to think that they might be no match for Ricky and his companions. If the oddsproved to be against them in the end, they would have to consider giving up the Quintessence ofHeaven and Earth for their lives, for life was always the most precious thing. However, it turned outthat not all of them were sensible enough to understand this.

"Brother, cut the bullshit. Why are we talking to them? Let's just kill them and leave with ourtreasure. I will deal with that Ridge myself this time!" Keyon shouted in a cold voice as a disturbingfatal intent rose from within him.

"I have many defeated foes, but none of them were as shameless as you! You really want to die heretoday, huh?" Soar talked back flatly hearing Keyon's provocative words.

"After you!" Keyon snapped and made a leap for Soar instantly.

The next instant, both of them were attacking each other with countless powerful tricks that shookthe ground, produced flying sparks and eventually, resulted in a storm.

Jim didn't stop Keyon from acting impulsively. He was not very concerned as he was planning tokeep a close watch on how things would unfold. If, by chance, Keyon won the battle, it would savemany troubles that followed. If he lost, then Jim would take command and kill the beast himself. Hehad it all planned.

"Let me get this straight for you, Garrett. I know you have two completed spiritual kings on yourside, but one of them will surely die if you mean to start a fight with me," Scar threatened when hesaw that his enemies were serious about the fight. He wanted them to back off.

But both Jim and Josiah only smiled at his warning, with no panic or fear on their faces.

Scar and Ricky put on grave murderous expressions, too. Something didn't feel quite right here.Both of them could sense it.

"Wake up, Scar, for your own sake!" Josiah said with complacence. "Honestly, you were right aboutone thing—if you're going to fight with me and Jim, I might have to die with you.

But what do you think will happen if we have another completed spiritual king join the game? Doyou still think I would go to hell with you, Scar?"

Whoosh!

As soon as Josiah finished talking, a golden figure magically appeared in the stalactite cave.
