The legendary warrior

Chapter 177 Strong Arrogant

"One move! It will take just one move to crush you!" Hector said arrogantly, his figure tall and straight.

"You should know that everyone who has said that to me are now all dead!" Ricky grinned.

"Is that so? Then show me!" Hector's tone abruptly changed from arrogance into coldness, and his powerful aura turned into a sharp claw which came right at Ricky.

When it came to this level of power, an ordinary warrior at the seventh grade of Blood Purification would be severely injured if he didn't back off. But not Ricky. He merely waved his hands, and Hector's attack instantly faded away!

"Huh!? Seventh grade of Blood Purification!" Hector was taken aback once he realized Ricky's level.

When and how the hell did Ricky reach the seventh grade of Blood Purification!?

"Seventh grade of Blood Purification! Ricky actually reached the level of seventh grade of Blood Purification!" many disciples around the battle platform murmured, also shocked! The powerful inner disciples also traded looks of surprise. This was unheard of!

"What a tremendous speed of cultivation!"

From many disciples came a unanimous feeling of shock, but some tried to cover it up with their contempt!

"Did you guys see that? Ricky, who is only at seventh grade of Blood Purification, deflected the attack from Hector's ninth grade of Blood Purification. This makes things extremely interesting!"

"Ricky has always been able to challenge his seniors, which makes me wonder what's going to happen this time..."

"No way, ninth grade of Blood Purification? That's the peak of that realm!"

....

"So that's why you're so brave! You're in the seventh grade now!" Hector remarked arrogantly. He felt that there was nothing to worry about.

For him, ordinary warriors at ninth grade of Blood Purification were nobody, not to mention those at the seventh grade!

"You can try!" said Ricky calmly.

"Watch this claw. A single move it makes will be enough to make you want to flee this arena!" Hector smiled and his aura swept around. Suddenly, his figure popped up in front of Ricky.

"Tearing claw-tearing mountains and rivers!"

he screamed, completely condensing his earthy spiritual energy into his right hand. Now his hand looked like a formidable claw with invincible strength.

Behind Hector, the rest of spiritual energy transformed into an illusion of mountains and rivers.

Hector's entire being semmed as though it were being integrated with heaven and earth.

In the next second, the silhouette of the mountains and rivers suddenly shattered, as if crushed by the claw falling from the sky. Meanwhile, Hector's claws also rushed through the space between them and took ahold of Ricky's neck.

"Five Beasts Arts! Flaming Tiger Fist!"

When narrowed his eyes, the energy around Ricky suddenly rose. It took on the form of a tiger, full of explosive power. At the same time, raging flames began to burn, all together channeled into Ricky's

right fist.

Ricky threw a punch, which collided forcefully with Hector's tearing claw!

"You may not die this time, but you will certainly regret it! I will make sure you never fight again! Anyone who was against our Refinement Faction never came to a good end!" snarled Hector, at the moment of the collision.

Ignored him, Ricky instead concentrated all his power into this move.

"Bang!" The forceful collision sounded loudly. Strong energy pulsated in waves, filling the entire arena!

It was just how he had defeated Caleb and Elvis by using the Devouring Flame Fist of Five Beasts Arts. But this time, Ricky exerted almost all of his power.

Since Hector wanted to crush him to a pulp, then he would respond with the same level of intensity!

"Humph! Mark my words, after this collision, Ricky will crawl from the arena with total embarrassment!" said some members of Casting Faction and Refinement Faction, staring at the pervasive waves.

"Ah!" A shrill scream interrupted them, and a figure flew out directly from inside the waves, slamming onto the battle platform.

The disciples were dumbfounded when they recognized who it was. The members of Casting Faction and Refinement Faction froze in their tracks abruptly, staring at the figure who now lay groaning on the floor.

A terrible silence set over the square as the turn of events sank in.

Believe it or not, the figure was Hector.

"As you said, it will take just a move for this battle to end!" Ricky said coldly, standing over Hector.

"Bam!" Without hesitation, Ricky kicked Hector out of the platform. As he fell, Hector lost total consciousness.

Whether he was really unconscious or not, no one knew the truth but Hector himself.

But not to those who knew Ricky well. Whoever dared cross him would pay the price, because he was no longer weak. Now that he had the Heaven Melting Pagoda, he could even manage to survive a battle against an innate spiritual king!

....

Finally, the silence was broken as people accepted the reality of what had just happened.

Murmurs of disbelief and shock began to permeate the air.

"To challenge the senior! A senior two grades higher than him at that! And to beat him so easily!"

"What he did was impossible for even the strongest genius from the Imperial Palace of Wildness in the Heaven Wood Land!"

"The strongest genius in the world, at least for the Realm of Wildness!"

"Ricky, the strongest, the most handsome!" said some female disciples, feeling extremely infatuated with him.

"He is definitely a formidable warrior now!" said Grace with satisfaction, looking at the victorious figure on the battle platform. Heather had already told her about the extent of Ricky's real power.

"Good boy!" In the dais, the elders were also excited as they remarked among themselves, "Ricky's journey to the Earth Fire Land has not been in vain!"

"Humph!" To all of these, Elder Logan didn't bother concealing his disdain.

This battle was not only a fight between factions, but also a parallel to the looming battle between Zenith and Boris, so the elders had hastily come to watch.

....

Apart from Ricky's secret strength, his victory was largely due to the fact that Hector had underestimated him. If Hector had known Ricky's power from the beginning, he would have certainly put up a fight!

However, what was done was done!

Feeling the gaze of the entire square of people on him, Ricky looked at Gennadi and Wyn, and said loudly, "Gennadi, Wyn, I am now challenging both of you! Care to come fight me?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The square gasped in collective surprise.

"What?... I heard that right, didn't I? Ricky is now challenging the first and second ranking inner disciples at the same time!?"

"You didn't get it wrong..."

....

At Ricky's bold move, even the disciples who had supported Ricky originally felt as though he was being a bit too arrogant!
