"Screech!"
To stop Ricky, the Black Venomous Vulture opened its mouth to condense black spiritual energy in the air, spewing at ground in front of Ricky. A powerful blast hit the earth.
Mixed with a mass of ash, the strong explosive force blasted against Ricky quite forcefully.
"Pah!" Ricky couldn't withstand it and sprayed out a mouthful of blood. He rolled around several times, trying to shake out the pain.
When Ricky stumbled to stand up, the Black Venomous Vulture landed and the old man leaped down.
"What a big hit! This is an honor. I can't believe that the West Vanity Valley would send such a overmatch to kill a nobody," Ricky said ferociously, wiping the blood from his lips.
Ricky was terriby frightened. Every warrior was afraid of death, after all. It meant losing everything. Now that he was going to die, he want to die with dignity, so he stood his ground, trying not to let his fear show.
"Young man, you are anything but a nobody. Since you have killed so many disciples and guards of the West Vanity Valley, it is reasonable that they sent me to kill you. And since you are a disciple of the Snow Sect, we will never let you go," The skinny old man said lightly.
Now, spiritual energy gathered in his hands, preparing to kill Ricky directly. A long delay could cause trouble.
"Young man, I respect you as a warrior. If you have any last wishes, tell me. Maybe I can fulfill some of them for you for mercy's sake!"
"I want to exterminate the West Vanity Valley. Can you help me with that?" Ricky sneered.
"You are asking for death, young man!"
The old man grew angry. His patience depleted, so he struck Ricky with a strong hit.
Faced with a hand as heavy as the sky, Ricky was not afraid. He would try his best to fight, even now in the moment of his death.
"Roar!"
At this point, however, a dragon came howling out from the forest behind Ricky. A dragon-shaped force rushed out, flying past Ricky and colliding with the strike of the old man.
Both of the moves burst together and disappeared.
A smiling, handsome young man was suddenly standing behind Ricky.
"It was genius of you to hold off my powerful hand with your power at ninth grade of Blood Purification, but it's none of your business. If you leave now, I won't make this a big deal!" The old man said deeply, staring at this unfamiliar young man.
"This old man must be an overmatch of Bone Reinforcement!" the young man said. At this, Ricky immediately realized the power of the old man.
Ricky then told the young man, "Buddy, this has nothing to do with you. You'd better leave now. I am very grateful that you gave me a hand."
Ricky did not want to involve the innocent, even if he was dying to be saved.
"Ha-ha, it has nothing to do with Autelan? How come?" The young man laughed kindly.
'Wow, Autelan! What a regal name!' Ricky thought.
The demeanor of the old man changed drastically. He pointed at the young man, "You are the Autelan of the Snow Sect!?"
"Is it not obvious? Is there any other man in Snow Land named Autelan?" the young man smirked.
'The young man must be one of the top people of the Snow Sect. Maybe he can save my life, '
Ricky thought. The shock and traces of fear in the old man's eyes told Ricky that Autelan was beyond the realm of the ninth grade of Blood Purification.
"It is really you, Autelan!" The old man said hesitantly.
