The legendary warrior

Chapter 1372 Two Geniuses

Faced with the pressure of the skill—the Destruction of Heaven and Earth, Xavier's huge body was cut in half, indicating that the battle was about to come to a close.

Currently, all that remained in Xavier's soul was fear and despair. The small part of him that wanted to survive had almost been snuffed out, but it was still there. Filled with rage, he roared, "Ricky, you can't kill me! You can't! I'm from the Heavenly Black Winged Snake tribe. Not even you can afford to provoke the tribe I belong to. If you kill me, the Five-element Sect that you come from will be destroyed by my family."

"Is that so? You're missing one important fact. No one will know that I'm the one who killed you. Besides, the Misty South Palace is in charge of protecting the Five-element Sect for the next fifty years. When that time is up, I will destroy your family," Ricky snapped back in a voice that dripped with confidence.

When he was done talking, he immediately released the Heaven Illuminating Fire to burn Xavier's soul into ashes.

But before it could reach him, another force appeared out of nowhere. It was black and yellow. Ricky recognized it as the infernal power. Within seconds, it had formed a defensive shield around both halves of Xavier's body and soul.

Then, a black figure dropped from the sky.

"I'm here! I'll save you!" the black figure exclaimed.

Ricky scowled as he watched the scene unfold.

He had sworn that he would kill Xavier because if he let him live, Xavier would try to get revenge one day. And yet, a young man had swooped in at the last second to save him.

"Who are you?" Ricky demanded.

Mordechai and the others ran to Ricky's side when they sensed the strength of the young man in black.

"I'm a person who wants to kill you," the young man snapped.

"That's Chandler Feng!" As he looked closer at the young man in black, Peter realized who he was.

"Chandler Feng?" Seconds later, Ricky roared. The killing intent inside of him was flaring up.

Ricky didn't know who Chandler Feng was, but he knew that the young man belonged to either the Phoenix tribe itself or an affiliated force of the Phoenix tribe.

"Does my name make you angry? Do you want to kill me?" Chandler Feng taunted, smirking.

It was clear in that moment that he knew what had happened between Ricky and Grace.

Chandler Feng had come for that reason and Ricky knew who had sent him within seconds. It was Lanny.

"Yes! I really want to kill you!" Ricky yelled in response.

"Ricky, why do you have a grudge against this guy? You've never met him before," Peter asked telepathically.

"I know, but there is an unavoidable life and death feud between us," Ricky answered. "Is he from the Phoenix tribe?"

When he heard Ricky's answer, Peter frowned. How could Ricky and Chandler Feng be such big enemies if they had never met before?

Avoiding asking him more questions, Peter told Ricky everything that he knew about Chandler Feng.

"Chandler is the strongest talent in the younger generation of the Nether Phoenix tribe. That tribe is one of the top ones under the Great Phoenix tribe's umbrella. And because Chandler Feng is a member of the Phoenix tribe, he is not one of the top ten talents in the central region.

But his strength is on par with theirs.

As for the Nether Phoenix tribe, they have a residence in the Third Sheol City, but their talents refuse to participate in the selection of the Misty South Palace because they yearn to enter the Phoenix tribe.

So, did Chandler really come here just to kill you?"

"Yes, he came here to kill me," Ricky replied calmly.

"Hey! Why are you ignoring me? I thought you wanted to kill me.

Let's begin. I want to see how capable you are, successor of Paul," Chandler Feng roared. The moment that he felt Ricky's strong killing intent, he started craving a fight. As he moved forward, a black and yellow claw formed and grabbed at Ricky.

"Come out! Time Seal!"

As fast as he could, Ricky took out the Time Seal to help him since the strength of Chandler's claw could quickly become too much to handle.

Bang! Bang!

Soon, the sound of metal colliding rang through the air. The Time Seal and the claw became locked in battle.

As soon as it had been activated, the Time Seal started consuming the power of the claw.

However, the difference in strength between the two of them was too large. In one moment, the Time Seal was sent flying backwards and it landed on the ground, instantly collapsing. The force of it caused Ricky to fall over, spitting out blood.

"What? You are a two-star middle spiritual emperor!" Ricky hissed as he kneeled on the ground and grasped at the soil with his hands.

It was impossible for one-star middle spiritual emperors to defeat him so easily. But now, the young man did it, which only meant he was stronger than a one-star middle spiritual emperor. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"He's a two-star middle spiritual emperor?" Mordechai and the others repeated as shock covered their faces.

"Yes. He really is a two-star middle spiritual emperor," Peter murmured.

"Hmm...it looks as Paul's successor, you aren't that impressive after all," Chandler said in a condescending voice as he looked down at Ricky. While he spoke, his attack rained down on Ricky again.

However, this time, Mordechai stepped in and blocked it.

Then, he spat, "If you were at the same level as Ricky, he would have defeated you in the first round. Why are you being so arrogant?"

"Is that what you think? Fine. I will wait for him to break through and become a two-star middle spiritual emperor," Chandler Feng shot back.

Then, he collected Xavier and the others and they disappeared.

Mordechai and the others shared hesitant looks.

What was going on? Chandler Feng had been determined to kill them and he had the perfect chance. Why would he turn around and leave like that?

It seemed like he was merciful enough to allow Ricky to become as powerful as he was before they fought again.

Everyone turned to look at Ricky, feeling very confused.

Puff! Ricky tried to stand, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. His chest was heaving with every breath he took.

"Ricky, are you okay?" Mordechai and the others watched him with concern in their eyes.

"Yes. I'm okay. If Chandler had hit me one more time, it would have been worse. I guess this means that there is a huge gap between my strength and a real two-star middle spiritual emperor's strength!" Ricky sighed deeply.

Right now, he was able to disguise his anger and killing intent.

Without the strength he needed, anger and killing intent would just affect his mind negatively.

"But why did Chandler leave like that? Why didn't he kill us all?" Ella asked in confusion.

"Because there is a genius that he fears nearby," Ricky said.

Then, he looked to the right and said, "Thank you for your help, sir. Otherwise, I would have lost my life."

"No problem. When I felt the aura of two geniuses fighting, I had to come and check it out. I never thought I would find the famous white-haired Ricky." Everyone else turned in the direction of the new voice.

"I saved Ricky's life. Isn't that an amazing story to tell?"

Suddenly, a young, handsome bald monk appeared. He looked a bit chubby.

In his left hand, there was a wine pot, and in his right hand, he held the roasted leg of a fierce beast.

"Jedidiah Shang! It's the monk who drinks wine and eats meat!" Peter and the others cried out when they saw the monk's face.
