The legendary warrior

Chapter 1275 Michael Hua

'Wow! The power of illusion is so amazing. It can be on par with the power of poison. After all, both are difficult to deal with.

I bet that I might not be able to withstand this blow if I were in Peter's place. Plus, I would not know what would kill me without the Golden Spirit Eyes,' Ricky thought to himself as he saw what was happening inside the ball.

"So, you should just cultivate the illusion power. The cloud and mist powers in your Gale Zone are much superior to Peter's. If you can use them to create the illusion power, I'm sure that you will be able to defeat him.

If you use the Golden Spirit Eyes along with the power of illusion, no one will be able to break the illusions you create," the Dragon Intent Grass suggested.

"I guess you're right. But it's not like I can master it at once! I mean, I am aware of how difficult it is to comprehend," Ricky replied. "I have always wanted to cultivate it so that I can create the perfect illusions. However, I just didn't have a chance to do that."

Meanwhile, the ball suddenly shattered into millions of pieces. The fragments dissipated into the air, which later on, were made to disappear by Peter.

As soon as the palms had collided with one another, they immediately vanished into thin air. They left airwaves that spread all throughout the space, leaving only the numerous drops of grey water that George created floating in mid-air.

Because of this massive impact, the grey water drops came together and began to fuse with each other. Not long after, George emerged from this fusion of grey water drops.

However, when he came out of it, he directly coughed up a mouthful of blood. Moreover, he looked very pale as he fell. Using his last ounce of strength, he pushed himself to half-kneel on the surface of the lake.

At that moment, only bitterness and rage could be seen on his face.

Before challenging Peter, he was confident that he would win. But when the match started, he was proven otherwise. To make things worse, he felt infuriated by the fact that Peter had not even activated his mutant, and yet, he was stronger than him by a mile. As a result, the fight between them only established the glaring difference between his and Peter's strength.

And this was the last thing he wanted to admit to himself.

"The fight is over. Just as I expected, George didn't win. And the sad part is that Peter didn't even use his mutant power. I guess that the geniuses recognized by the Misty South Palace are out of other talented warrior's league," Mordechai said as he gave his thoughts.

"I still believe that we are exceptions to this. We may not be recognized by this organization, but if you'd ask me, I know we are as good as those warriors who have been recognized. However, Peter saved our lives, and we owe him big time.

We would not have survived George's strike if it weren't for Peter," Ricky remarked.

"Yes, we do. We owe him!" Mordechai responded while nodding his head slightly.

At that time, George was still engrossed in his negative feelings. But somehow, Peter managed to make his way towards him with so much killing intent in his eyes.

"I want you dead so bad," Peter said coldly. "This is my fault. I shouldn't have brought you here in the first place."

"Well, it's such a shame that you can't take my life," George bit back with disdain in his voice.

"Yeah, you're right. I can't kill you now," Peter said, unwilling to accept the fact that he could not terminate his enemy. He already knew that he could not kill George since the start of the fight. But somehow, he could not accept this fact whole-heartedly.

In fact, he wasn't afraid of the North Sect because he was confident about his clan's slight advantage over the North Sect in terms of power.

When Ricky and Mordechai heard Peter and George's exchange, both of them were confused. They could not begin to understand why Peter insisted that he could not take George down. But as soon as the duo began to carefully observe their surroundings, they instantly understood why Peter kept saying that.

At that moment, Ricky and Mordechai shifted their gazes to the space above the blood-colored lake, which was relatively near them.

It was empty at first glance, but when they looked deeper into it, they noticed ripples waving. Not long after, a strapping young man came into their view.

Despite looking calm and harmless, this young man exuded a powerful aura. Ricky sensed his aura and immediately realized that the young man must be as powerful as Peter.

Ricky and Mordechai gave the young man a few glances before they saw how he looked very similar to George. Soon after, the duo guessed this man's identity.

He was none other than Michael Hua, the most talented disciple of the North Sect, and George's cousin.

What made him well-known was the fact that he ranked tenth in the top ten genius of the outer region recognized by the Misty South Palace.

"He must be Michael Hua, the tenth genius. It looks like George asked his companions to inform him before he came here," Mordechai whispered to Ricky. "So, that's why Peter said that he couldn't destroy George."

"I just don't know who is stronger between the two. Is it Michael or Peter? After all, we can't really know for sure just by basing their strength on their ranks..." Ricky started to wonder.

As Michael Hua fixed his eyes on Peter, he thought that no one here could be his worthy opponent except for him. "It has been a while, Peter," Michael Hua greeted with raised eyebrows.

After finishing his words, he began to give his cousin, George, a scornful look.

Without a doubt, Michael Hua knew what his cousin was up to. He knew that George didn't only want to defeat Peter but also challenge the remaining nine geniuses. Therefore, when he saw George suffering from severe injuries, he immediately guessed that his cousin must have challenged Peter and lost to him badly.

As a result, he didn't give his cousin much high regard and even thought of him as naive and cocky.

If it weren't for the fact that they were cousins, he would not have bothered to save George at all.

"That's right, Michael. It's been a long time since we last faced each other. Honestly, I didn't expect that we would meet here in this way," Peter responded haughtily.

"I guess we're meant to battle it out for a few rounds. Let's see who is better," Michael Hua taunted.

"Ha-ha! Now, that's what I'm talking about! But it's not the right time," Peter replied with a loud, sarcastic laugh.

With a long face, George left the two to find a safe space to recuperate from his injuries. Evidently, his eyes showed nothing but shame because he didn't want Michael Hua to save him. To him, it was very embarrassing to have a relative clean up his messes.

"Same thoughts. It's not the time yet. After all, we are going to another land of opportunity," Michael Hua agreed.

But when Peter heard this, his face turned dreary, for he didn't want Michael Hua, George, and Brandon to join him in the search for another treasure.

However, at the same time, he couldn't stop them because he was not sure if he could defeat Michael Hua alone.

"What's the matter? You won't refuse us to join you just because of my stupid cousin's challenge, will you?" Michael Hua asked as he noticed the sudden change in Peter's expression.

"Huh? What are you talking about? I'm not that shallow," Peter exclaimed as he tried to hide his frustration.

"In that case, thank you. And before we go, I would like to sincerely apologize to you for my cousin's rude behavior and stupidity. He should have not challenged you in the first place," Michael Hua said with a pretentious laugh.

Afterwards, he placed his gaze on Ricky and Mordechai. Without hiding any of his murderous intent, he asked, "So, you are Ricky and Mordechai, the new geniuses of the Five-element Sect. Isn't that right?"

It was said that the North Sect wanted the Five-element Sect to bow to its power, but the latter refused. Hence, the major players of the North Sect ordered all its disciples to track and hunt down the disciples of the Five-element Sect during the Territory Battle.

Meanwhile, as Michael spoke, his unstoppable momentum began to rush towards Ricky and Mordechai at lightning speed. Sensing that the duo were already injured, he decided to inflict more pain on them by damaging them further with his momentum. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing this, Peter burst out his momentum and blocked Michael Hua's attack for Ricky and Mordechai.

"Michael, they are my friends. I will not let you lay a finger on them. Leave them alone!" Peter ordered.
