The legendary warrior

"You used me as a mere stepping stone?" Gennadi asked furiously, his jaw clenched tight as his hands balled into fists.

"If that's how you see it, then so be it," Ricky answered as a cold smile crawled into his lips. He found Gennadi's anger quite amusing and made no effort to dissipate it.

"Damn it! You'll pay for this!" Gennadi thundered, his body visibly trembling with fury. He gritted his teeth and let out a battle cry, yet it didn't seem to faze his opponent. Then all of a sudden, he was in front of Ricky and about to unleash his first attack.

He drew out his sword and immediately activated sword-light power. The spiritual energy of fire burst from within and surrounded his whole body. He aimed his sword at Ricky, eyes full of killing intent.

Gennadi was fast, but Ricky was faster. In one swift motion, Ricky dodged his attack and pulled out Iron Destroyer from his back, wielding the flame strike. His saber then collided with Gennadi's sword.

Although it may look like Ricky was giving it his all, he was actually holding back. He did not use the innate power of his Iron Destroyer, as he wanted to fight Gennadi using only the natural strength of his saber.

A Demi-spirit Level weapon itself was enough to fight even demi-immortal warriors. There was no need to use more power than necessary.

The way Ricky was handling the fight didn't escape Elder Samuel and Elder Logan's eyes. The moment Ricky pulled out Iron Destroyer, they knew he wasn't using 100% to fight, yet they could also tell that the saber alone was enough to guarantee his victory.

"That is no ordinary saber! It's of Demi-spirit Level and it has powers that only real immortals could comprehend. This only means one thing... The saber was re-casted by Elder Alexander," Elder Samuel muttered under his breath. He still could not believe his eyes.

"A Demi-spirit Level saber made by an innate spiritual king and casting master of Spirit Level! How marvelous! I wish I could have his saber and everything else that made him so powerful.

But he's being so flashy right now. His saber is attracting a dangerous amount of attention. Isn't he worried that his saber might get stolen by other people?"

Elder Samuel's gaze switched to Elder Logan and saw greed in his eyes. He knew what he was thinking and he couldn't deny that he was tempted, too.

After all, that was not the kind of saber they could make even if they placed their lives on the line.

......

But Ricky was not concerned about those things. Right now, all he cared about was beating Gennadi.

"My master, please do not initiate the Devouring Skill. Something's wrong with Gennadi's spiritual energy. It seems fairly dangerous!" Alva exclaimed, reminding Ricky of the risk.

What kind of danger?" Ricky asked,
