The legendary warrior novel Chapter 1279

After he took a glimpse at Ricky and Claire for a few quick seconds, Michael's lips began to curl upward into a malicious smile.

At that moment, Michael believed that he could defeat the duo without breaking a sweat, for they were far too weak to be his opponents.

"Ha-ha! I can't believe that Peter can be such a fool! He even gave up the opportunity of acquiring the inheritance because of you! By the looks of it, you enjoy a very high position in the Mu Clan," Michael said as he looked at Claire scornfully. At the same time, the cruel smile slowly disappeared from his lips.

Not long after, he glanced at Ricky from his peripheral view disdainfully.

"However, he didn't expect that I would be here," Michael continued.

"That's true. No one had ever expected that you would be able to pass the test of the Illusionary Pool—not even the queen's will. You've made it up to this point, but I just know that you would not get your hands on the inheritance,"

Claire replied coldly.

"Oh, really? Do you think so?" Michael responded sourly.

Soon after, just above the two old altars at the center of the palace, the power of illusion started to manifest and emerge in front of them, followed by two beams of blinding light.

Undoubtedly, these lights contained the treasures that they sought after—inheritances of the king and the queen.

"That's the inheritance of the illusion!" Michael exclaimed as his eyes were caught by the two glaring rays of light.

"I may have never been exposed to the illusion power, but if I can get my hands on the inheritance, controlling the palace will be at the tip of my fingers. When this happens, I will surely be able to acquire lots of pills and Treasures from Heaven and Earth."

As these words left his lips, his eyes sparkled with nothing but greed.

But before he could fulfill his quest on getting the inheritance, he must first deal with Claire and Ricky.

"Claire, I am giving you a chance to change sides. If you agree to be my woman, I will keep you alive and give you the queen's inheritance. Otherwise, you will leave me with no choice but to send you and this guy to your deaths," Michael threatened as he turned to the alluring woman.

And because Claire was a gorgeous woman from an influential clan, he wanted to own her to have the advantage of power. That was why he was willing to make a deal with her.

But of course, this matter was not as important to him as the martial arts.

Therefore, he wouldn't care if Claire agreed or not.

The next moment, Ricky met eyes with Claire.

"I think that you're giving yourself too much credit. You should know that you are not good for me," Claire sneered.

"Humph! You can refuse me all you want, but I would still like to see what you are capable of," Michael huffed. Afterwards, he took a step forward, and in the blink of an eye, he was already right beside Claire. At the same time, he lifted his clenched fist and punched her.

Despite this strike looking simple and light, this punch apparently contained all of Michael's strength.

In fact, the blow was so strong that even Peter would at least try to resist it with all his might if he were in Claire's position.

Seeing what had just happened, Ricky intended to give Claire a hand, but the Dragon Intent Grass intervened to stop him.

"Calm down, lad. Claire has something up her sleeve. I'm sure she can handle it. Just trust me on this and back off," the Dragon Intent Grass advised.

"Okay, I just hope that you are right about this!" Ricky replied in a hopeful tone.

Initially, he didn't want to meddle in this fight. But once he saw Claire was in danger, he would immediately come to her aid.

Meanwhile, in the face of Michael's upcoming strike, Claire seemed dauntless. Instead of being scared, she spread her palms wide and released her power.

Aside from the mist power, she had also unleashed the illusion power, the rain power, and the wind power. Soon after, the four powers had fused together and transformed into a vortex to meet Michael's blow.

'Wow! Four kinds of power at once! But somehow, the wind power and the rain power are quite familiar,' Ricky thought to himself as he witnessed the fight.

Because of the impact, Claire took a few steps back.

"You! You are a middle spiritual emperor," Michael shouted with knitted eyebrows as he stood still.

As it turned out, Claire unleashed the power that was equal to the power of a middle spiritual emperor. If she wasn't a middle spiritual emperor, she wouldn't have been able to withstand Michael's blow at all.

"I knew you were here. Do you really think that I would come here to face you if I were weaker than a middle spiritual emperor?" Claire made her point after she managed to steady herself.
