The moment Peter finished his sentence, he stomped his feet over the sky that resulted in a thunderous rumble.
Tremendous power gushed out from his body, transforming into thick white mist, which covered the blood-colored space in the blink of an eye. It was as if he had drawn the place straight out of people's fantasies.
It turned out that the Mu Clan of the Misty Mountain was renowned for a reason.
Typically, the Misty Mountain, where the said clan lived, was engulfed by a white mist that contained the heavenly law.
And all members of the Mu Clan were born in Misty Mountain. It didn't matter what kind of spiritual meridian they were born with, the ability to use the cloud and mist powers was innate to them.
Moreover, even the Mu Clan's members who had yet to reach the Emperor Level could unleash the cloud and mist powers that contained the heavenly power, although they couldn't put the heavenly power inside to their advantage.
Over the years, the clansmen soon managed to devise the illusion power out of the mist and cloud powers.
Of course, only Mu Clan's members could do that.
Peter considered George's imminent blow as the mist, created out of Peter's mist power, obscured him from view.
In no time, five mountains covered by the white mist emerged from each of Peter's eyes.
As soon as Peter clapped his hands, ten mountains clouded by the mist suddenly materialized before him.
"Ten mountains, attack now!" he yelled out.
In the next second, the ten mountains rushed forward, facing George's strike head-on. The second the two forces collided, the ten mountains shifted into a thick mist. And the power within the mist engulfed George's strike like flexible armor.
Soon after, nothing was left of the attack, as all George's powers had turned entirely into mist.
A gigantic shadow abruptly emerged in front of Peter, which absorbed the mist all around him like a sponge to water. When all the mist had dissipated, George appeared again, looking taken aback.
Before George could react, the giant shadow morphed into a dragon and flung towards him with a fierce growl.
He came back to his senses as he quickly sensed the danger awaiting him, and he knew that he needed to resist the blow.
Thus, he concentrated all his strength on his arms and converged them over his chest.
Boom!
The next moment, the dragon made of mist slammed into George's arms. The impact quickly blew him away, and he fell helplessly into the crimson lake.
Blood gushed out from his wounds, coloring the crimson lake a darker red.
At the same time, Ricky and Mordechai were watching the fight with appreciative gazes, while they healed their wounds from the previous attack.
"I can't believe there is such a big gap between George's and Peter's strength. Peter has had the upper hand since the fight began!" Mordechai admitted to Ricky through telepathy.
"Honestly, I'm not very surprised. I guess Peter has been a middle spiritual emperor for a while, and besides, he is far more talented than George. Have you noticed that Peter has not activated his mutant power yet?
But what surprised me is George's action," Ricky replied mysteriously.
"What are you talking about, man?
I'm afraid I'm not following," Mordechai confessed. He wondered what Ricky meant when he mentioned George's action.
"Mordechai, George is not a fool. Although he wants the Life and Death Water, I don't think he would sacrifice his life for it. He should have figured that Peter has become a middle spiritual emperor as we did. But despite knowing Peter's real cultivation level, why did he reveal his true colors so soon?"
Ricky blurted out thoughtfully.
"Hmmn... You make a good point. Is it possible that he has another trump card giving him confidence that he could defeat Peter?" Mordechai surmised.
The duo then fell silent as they turned their attention to Peter once again.
As they watched, the blood-colored lake where George fell began to swell and heave.
Suddenly, the water shot towards the sky.
Dozens of water pillars emerged on the surface of the lake.
