Furious waves of energy began to clash with each other. The power from the two sides seemed to be well-matched but only for a moment. In the next breath, the three-foot tripod was defeated when the destructive power of the storm pervaded.
First, the power of the blood essence on the three-foot tripod was swept out by the storm, and countless cracks appeared on the tripod.
Then, the storm ruthlessly ravaged Kirk's colossal body, as a hapless dove in the middle of a tempest.
Blood spurted out from Kirk's parted lips, as he rolled several times until he finally came to a stop a few meters away, changing back into his human shape.
As soon as he recovered, he moved to run away, as Marvel and the other two followed behind him closely. He looked back and spat poisonously at Edie, saying,
"Edie, I will never forget what happened today! And you have to remember that you have offended not only me but also Lundy."
"Humph! How dare you still act so stubbornly, when you are already at the brink of death?" Ricky said with disdain. In his mind, Kirk was as good as dead because there was no way he would just let him go.
Thanks to the Ancestral Thunder Mutant and the Space-shrinking Pace, he could move at an incomparably high speed. And since they couldn't tear the space or fly in the air here, it would be much easier for Ricky to catch up with Kirk.
However, Edie stopped him just as he was about to take off after Kirk.
"Ricky, just let them go. The four of them aren't a threat to you anymore, but if you kill them, it will get the Wind-Mountain Alliance into trouble. The Three-legged Nether Crow tribe might try to put their deaths on our heads," said Edie.
"Since you have said so, how can I disobey your request?" Ricky smiled sweetly at Edie.
So far, Edie had treated him sincerely, not just in the Emperor Beast Swamp but even before they came here. Far be it from him, that he would return that kindness with enmity.
If he killed Kirk, the Three-legged Nether Crow tribe would definitely make trouble for the Wind-Mountain Alliance, and that was the last thing he wanted for them. "Thank you very much," replied Edie, nodding his head gratefully.
People who belonged to a great force naturally benefited from their force, as they possessed a large number of resources and were protected by powerful warriors.
But there were also many disadvantages to belonging to a big force. The worst one was that they always had to consider how their actions would affect the group behind them, so they could rarely do what they really wanted to do.
At times, this could be harmful to a warrior's strong will because they often had all kinds of scruples.
This was exactly what Edie was going through at that moment.
If he were in Ricky's place, he could just kill Kirk and run away
Unfortunately, he wasn't.
"Edie, you shouldn't have offended Lundy just for the sake of a human. It is said that the patriarch of the Red Potentate Roc tribe is close to becoming a saint," Flint whined like a child, evidently alarmed and frightened by Lundy.
"Flint! I used to think you were a little courageous at least, but only now do I realize just how cowardly you are!" Winifred said disdainfully, for she could not bear him any longer.
"Humph! It is natural for the weak to submit in front of the strong. If a person does not know how to behave himself, that is like striking a stone with an egg," insisted Flint. "Lundy is an ace genius and has the support of the Red Potentate Roc tribe. He will definitely control the east part of the endless mountain.
And he will even go to the Middle Land and become—"
"If you are so afraid of Lundy, then you can go and serve him instead!" Ricky cut in coldly before Flint could finish his words. He would have killed Flint a hundred times already if Edie and Winifred were not here.
"As a human being and outsider, you are not qualified to take part in the affairs of the Wind-Mountain Alliance," Flint responded coldly.
He knew he was no match for Ricky, but he didn't think Ricky would dare to hurt him because he had a saint behind him.
However, he didn't know Ricky well.
As soon as he finished his words, Ricky turned into a thunder in the blink of an eye and activated the Space-shrinking Pace. He appeared in front of Flint in an instant, and before Flint could realize what was going on, Ricky already had his delicate neck in his hand.
"Remember, when I want to kill someone, I never care what kind of background he has," Ricky sneered, glaring at Flint, whose eyes lost all their arrogance and were now filled with panic and fear. Meanwhile, Ricky exerted more strength in his hand.
His hand tightened every second as if Ricky was really about to kill Flint.
