The legendary warrior

Chapter 1268 Peter's Interference

Ricky wasn't concerned about Mordechai at all because he believed that Mordechai was able to handle this.

Even if Mordechai couldn't beat George, the latter couldn't hurt him too severely because of Mordechai's Sorcerous Combat Body.

No matter how much George wanted to, he wouldn't be able to kill Mordechai unless he had the strength of a middle spiritual emperor.

On the other hand, Brandon was facing Ricky's strike, so he was on full-alert and highly defensive. He had gathered all his Grey Light blood power, which soon mutated into heat. In no time at all, the temperature in the entire place rose sharply as if the season had changed into mid-summer.

When his eyes turned grey-white, four lines suddenly appeared between his eyebrows, lighting up like a beacon.

"It seems that he has cultivated the Meridian Mutant to the fourth level!" Ricky exclaimed to himself with narrowed eyes.

"Today, I will separate your body from your head and burn it to ashes. But I will keep your head intact, so I can have a reminder of this day," Brandon said maliciously as his eyes burned with white-hot flames. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Then, he stretched out his finger, and four grey-white scorching passages emerged from the sky. His Grey Light blood power condensed into four gigantic fingers.

"Omnipotent Skill—the finger strike!" Brandon yelled out.

Sizzle! Sizzle! The four gigantic fingers burned everything in their paths, turning them into grey-white ashes. Not even the surrounding space could escape their destructive power.

However, the seemingly unstoppable destructive power came to a stop once it made contact with Ricky's strike. The two forces collided, clashed, and fell to a stalemate, sparks flying in the air between them.

An explosion suddenly rang out. Forceful airwaves spread in an instant and engulfed both Ricky and Brandon.

The moment the waves surged over them, the duo soared into the sky and used their Omnipotent Skills to confront each other in the air.

Brandon threw punch after punch reinforced with his Grey Light blood power.

He had acquired such power after his Meridian Mutant reached the fourth level.

Moreover, it was the Grey Light blood power at the fourth level that enabled him to activate his mutant power to its peak.

However, since Ricky was a lower spiritual emperor and had the support of six mutant powers, the chaotic power Ricky had unleashed seemed almost unstoppable.

It looked like it could even overpower the purest masculine power, not to mention the Grey Light blood power. After a few rounds, Ricky finally gained the upper hand.

Of course, his terrifying physical strength took much credit for that.

He and Brandon were at the same level, but he was slightly better than the latter concerning their physical strength. That was why it wasn't surprising that Ricky had gained the upper hand.

"It looks like you've lost the first round. You even dared to talk big, claiming you can beat us within three moves. Ha! That's ridiculous," Ricky said mockingly.

"Humph!" Brandon snorted coldly, although he didn't say anything more to Ricky.

Instead, he concentrated on his fighting. He stepped back quickly, and the heat he produced filled the air once again. The four streaks of Grey Light blood power around him grew larger continuously, not stopping until they were almost as big as giant dragons.

"Come on, rings. Go suppress him!" Brandon yelled out.

The mark between his eyebrows glowed, and four streaks of light morphed into four gigantic rings, which rushed toward Ricky in an instant.

There was no doubt that if these massive rings trapped Ricky, he would be crushed to a pulp.

Of course, Ricky wouldn't just sit around and wait for death to claim him. He burst out the Ultimate Golden Body, and his eyes turned golden-yellow. Before long, golden light emerged and struck the massive rings.

As the two forces collided with each other, the forceful impact produced overwhelming power, which spread far away. Ricky and Brandon were forced to separate and step back due to the impact, and in the place they had vacated, two deep cracks appeared.

In the second round, the two men were neck and neck with each other.

On the other hand, George and Mordechai's fight had already been concluded.

Just as they expected, George quickly suppressed Mordechai, although Mordechai didn't suffer any serious injury thanks to his Sorcerous Combat Body. But if Mordechai's level had been a little bit higher, the result would have been completely different.

Of course, if Mordechai had unleashed the eternal power, the result would have changed as well.

At that moment, both George and Brandon had similar sullen expressions on their faces.

George had arrogantly claimed that they would bring Ricky and Mordechai down in three moves. But two rounds had already passed, and all they proved was that they were evenly matched.

There was no chance that they would beat Ricky and Mordechai in three moves. Based on how they performed in the previous rounds, they wouldn't even be able to defeat Ricky and Mordechai in thirty moves.

Luckily, only a few warriors were around to witness their shame, or they would have been more embarrassed.

But they quickly let go of this thought, as embarrassment was nothing next to winning. They thought that nothing else mattered as long as they won this fight.

'That was very well done. He can go toe to toe with someone stronger than him at the Emperor Level...' Peter inwardly praised Ricky as he gazed at him approvingly.

At this point, George and Brandon exchanged quick glances and prepared to attack once again.

Guessing what was on their minds, Peter dashed forward to stand between Ricky and George.

"Peter, why are you doing this? Are you sure you want to get involved in this?" George asked Peter with a perplexed frown.

"I don't want to interfere with you, but I want to be friends with Ricky. He seems like an interesting fellow to get to know," Peter explained with a laugh.

"What do you think, Ricky? Will you be my friend?" he further added as he turned to look at Ricky, who looked surprised.

"Ha-ha! Of course! You are one of the ten top geniuses in the outer region, and I'm flattered that you would want to be friends with me. How can I refuse your kindness?" Ricky immediately replied.

He didn't know why Peter wanted to befriend him, but he was more than pleased to accept such an offer. Besides, Peter would certainly stop siding with George once he agreed to be friends with Peter.

Upon hearing Peter's words, George became furious. "Are you going against me?" he asked acidly.

"I won't go against anyone unless that person provokes me first. Of course, if anyone tries to give my friend a hard time, no one can blame me for coming to his rescue, right?" Peter replied with a serene smile.

With these words, he made it clear that he was now on Ricky's side.

"Ashely, do you know what Peter is up to?" Hayes asked Ashley through telepathy, not taking his eyes off the battlefield.

"I have no idea what he's doing, and I'm sure even Ricky doesn't know why he's doing this. Perhaps, he was telling the truth, and he just really likes Ricky. Anyway, let's not look a gift horse in the mouth. What is important is that he won't go against us,"

Ashley replied promptly as she stared at Peter like he was a puzzle that needed to be solved.

A few moments of deathly silence settled over the place.

At that moment, George's and Brandon's faces couldn't be gloomier.

They weren't intimidated by Ricky, Mordechai, or Peter. However, if those three joined hands against them, they would undoubtedly lose.

After all, they had already seen the extent of Ricky's and Mordechai's powers.

"Peter, it looks like you can't wait to go a few rounds with me. Well, if that's what you want, then I'll give it to you!" George menacingly announced as he struggled to control his rage.

"Ha-ha! You misunderstand me. Ricky and his companions are my friends, just as you are also my friends," Peter replied vaguely, smilingly pleasantly at George.

Peter's words immediately confused both Ricky, George, and their supporters.

At that point, they really didn't know which side Peter was on.

Thus, both sides fell silent, their brows scrunched in confusion.

After a while, Ricky finally broke the silence. He looked straight at Peter and said, "I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. Can you please put it more clearly? If you do, I would appreciate it.

However, I want to tell you now that no matter what your attitude is, we will never ever make peace with them."
