The legendary warrior novel Chapter 116

"How is it possible? The information we've obtained clearly states that you are only at the fifth grade of Blood Purification. How could you be in possession of such powerful strength?" The assassin's eyes had suddenly grown solemn as he gazed at Ricky, lost in thought. The contempt had disappeared from his eyes.

"Humph! You are like a frog at the bottom of a well. Haven't you heard that there is a kind of genius who has the ability to compete above his level? Obviously, that is what I am." Ricky sneered.

"That means today, you are the one destined to die!"

"You fool!" the three assassins said coldly, their eyes flaring up at Ricky's bold words.

Even Elder Samuel and Bertha were speechless. How could Ricky be this arrogant?

However, when they recalled Ricky's track record, they calmed down to an extent. His arrogance was usually substantiated.

"Die today! I will show you what Endless Shadow is! You arrogant bastard!" The assassin shouted as he waved his sword, ready to wield it on Ricky.

He was indeed remarkable. He had comprehended a considerable level of sword-light and he was now at the seventh grade of Blood Purification. His speed also ranked high among the warriors at his grade level. Along with his ghost-like attack path, he was virtually untouchable at the seventh grade of Blood Purification.

However, he had now met Ricky, a warrior who possessed abilities previously unheard of. Even if Ricky was just at the fifth grade of Blood Purification, he was capable of competing with any warrior at the seventh grade of Blood Purification! Outstanding!

"Ghostly Flurry!"

The assassin roared loudly, and then his figure and sword disappeared in a ghostly manner from Ricky's eyes. He was using an advanced speed.

At once, Ricky directly activated the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula to the Fourth Degree. The green lights floated into space around him, shining brightly.

"Clang!"

The sound of a forceful collision rang through the air.

With the appearance of the assassin's figure, the tip of the sword had stabbed Ricky's neck, but because he had used the Fourth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula, only a nick was made.

'What a tremendously fast speed! I can't even see him, but only feel him! If it weren't for the Fourth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula, I would have been dead meat now. Oh, it's true... I still have a long way to go!' Ricky thought to himself once he had felt the nick in his flesh.

For the discrepancy in level, he could perhaps try harder to increase his power. But for something like observation competence which was ideally cultivated with time and experience, it would be difficult for him to improve in such a short span of time.

While Ricky was deep in thought, the assassin was also pondering. 'What a powerful body refining cultivation method! He withstood my fatal attack with great ease!'

'He has cultivated the Fourth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula! It seems that Ricky learned a lot during the two months he spent in the Blizzard Cliff. Now I'm really itching to know! What opportunity did Chief Zenith give him?' Elder Samuel was shocked upon the sight of Ricky surrounded by green lights.

Any warrior at the fifth grade of Blood Purification that was able to cultivate the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula to the Fourth Degree must be a true genius!

'Ricky truly is a great asset to the Snow Sect!'

...

"Now that you've managed to nick me, it's time for me to beat you," Ricky said with a serious look on his face.

He first wielded a Freezing Palm to drive the assassin back. Then he stimulated the deer cultivation method of the Five Beasts Arts to increase his speed. Along with the powerful bear cultivation method, he slashed fiercely at his opponent.

The power and speed of this slash had already reached the limit of the seventh grade of Blood Purification. If the assassin had been an ordinary warrior, he would definitely meet his death at this intense attack.

But once again, he used his ghostly pace to disappear suddenly in front of Ricky and escape from his powerful attack.

When he became visible again, his sword, which was surrounded by sword-light, again stabbed Ricky in a vital part of his body. However, things stayed the same. He could only leave a mark in Ricky's body because Ricky had cultivated the Fourth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula.

"I don't believe it. Let me see how many times you can resist my attacks by your body refining cultivation method!" The assassin roared at Ricky, his frustration getting the best of him.
