The legendary warrior

"Hasn't anyone ever told you that you look like a fool?" Ricky sneered, staring Jerome down.

To Ricky, it was obvious that Rufus just took advantage of Jerome. But Jerome was blind to this, ready to be at Rufus' beck and call constantly.

"What are you talking about?" Jerome shouted indignantly at Ricky's insult.

"Can't you hear me? Are you deaf?" Ricky laughed sourly, turning away. He couldn't be bothered to talk to Jerome anymore.

"Don't be so reckless! You're asking for trouble!

You better apologize to me! And return the Treasures from Heaven and Earth to their rightful owner! If you don't give them to Rufus, I'm going to beat you to a pulp!" Jerome shouted, rushing to attack Ricky.

His blood vitality and spiritual energy emerged from him in a flash. With his right fist surrounded by his thunderous power, Jerome struck at Ricky.

'Jerome's punch is much less forceful than Nate's. It appears that it's only been a few days since he had a breakthrough to Blood Purification!' Ricky thought, assessing the power of Jerome's fist. He was calm, knowing there was nothing to fear.

Gently pushing Heather aside, Ricky stepped forward and casually threw a punch.

He approached Jerome in the same way he had dealt with Nate. Channeling all his strength and making use of the devouring runes, Ricky's fist collided against Jerome's in a powerful punch.

"Bang!" With a loud thump, Jerome flew backwards and fell to the ground with a heavy thud.

Rufus was stunned by what he witnessed.

"How can this be!?" he couldn't help but exclaim. Although Jerome wasn't a genius in martial arts, he was nonetheless an excellent warrior at the first grade of Blood Purification. So how could he have been knocked down by Ricky with one blow?

As for Jerome, he was flabbergasted. He stared up at Ricky, scared out of wits.

"From now on, you should first figure out whether you stand a chance of defeating your opponent before you go and try to fight others' battles for them," Ricky said coldly, staring back down at Jerome.

Ricky turned his head to glare at Rufus. "If you want to take revenge on me, you can fight with me yourself. Or better yet, find a better warrior to do your bidding!" he spat.

With these words, Ricky left with Heather without a backward glance, leaving Rufus and Jerome behind to watch him walk away.
