Chapter 85 A More Formidable Opponent than Rufus

At the moment when the two women burst into the blood power of innate spirit, everyone knew that the
winner was going to be decided in the next few seconds.

With strong momentum, their bodies were slowly suspended in the air, and all their power had been
gathered into their two palms.

The combined strength of intense vapor and the blood power of innate spirit made them look like noble
queens, making most of the men present desire them.

"The blood power of innate spirit -- the palm of mist!" With a delicate shout, Dora made a palm with her
beautiful hands. A subtle palm of mist came at Agnes through the space between them.

Agnes gave a loud shout and responded with the same palm of mist.

"Boom!"

The roar resounded through the sky. Instantly, the warriors' figures were shrouded by mist as they
remained suspended in the air.

"Pah!"

It was the familiar sound of someone spitting blood. Dora quickly withdrew from the mist and knelt on
the ground, blood pooling in the corners of her little mouth.

In the mist, however, Agnes remained standing, unscathed.

But everyone soon noticed that Agnes's body was changing at that moment. The strong mist now fused
with a trace of blood vitality. It was a sign of the Blood Purification state.



Nevertheless, Agnes did not actually reach the realm of Blood Purification. Just like Rufus, she was at
a critical point. Most referred to it as the Half-step to Blood Purification.

"So you've had one foot in the Blood Purification state!" Dora staggered to her feet and said indignantly
as she wiped the blood from her mouth.

"Yes, it's the Half-step to Blood Purification now, and I will reach the Blood Purification state any time!"
Agnes replied.

"If that's the case, I am justified in my defeat!" Dora said through gritted teeth.

Even if she was not satisfied, she knew her defeat could not be denied.

…

"Well, sister, it looks like the Purity Faction are going to get control of the Billow City this time." Up in
the dais, the grandmaster of Purity Faction said to the Sage Faction.

"Not necessarily. Although Ricky is incredibly powerful, I don't think he will win over the disciple who
Dora brought with her!" The grandmaster of the Sage Faction said calmly, apparently quite confident of
the mysterious young man's capabilities.

"You seem to know of him. Would you care to reveal his identity to us?" The grandmaster of Groom
Faction asked curiously.

"Have you heard of the family of Greenhill?"

…

At this point, disciples of the Purity Faction were gasping. They realized the possibilities of regaining
control over Billow City.



One who had been observant enough would have seen that the mysterious young man's eyes had
been intently watching Agnes, and that it was a look of satisfaction, rather than of obscenity.

The disciples of the Purity Faction all looked at Ricky now, nodding if to say, "It's up to you. Do us
proud."

"What a pressure there is on my shoulder!" Ricky murmured at the hopeful eyes that surrounded him.

…

Ricky and the mysterious young man then entered the ring.

"Well, may I know your name?" Ricky saluted with his hand, a gesture of courtesy before battle.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly calm and mysterious young man turned out to be extremely arrogant. He
replied, "You don't deserve to know my name yet!"

"Oh, well! What's new! Yet another terrible attitude from an opponent!" Ricky sighed to himself. He was
growing accustomed to such words. It seemed to be the language of battle.

So Ricky unsheathed the saber he had on his back. Strength would be the most effective way to
subdue such a conceited adversary.

The mysterious youth also drew out the weapon at the same time, and at an extremely fast speed. As a
light went across the air, the saber had immediately come to Ricky's eyes.

"That was fast!" Ricky was surprised.

He dodged the blow but even so, the saber managed to slash through the fabric on his chest.

Ricky's eyes now darkened, his determination growing stronger. There was no doubt that this
mysterious man he faced was a more formidable opponent than Rufus.



Ricky knew very well that he would fail if he made one wrong move.

"He was moving so fast that it should have been a cultivation method of steps!" Ricky speculated.

No longer hesitating, Ricky went straight to the exercise of deer of the Five Beasts Arts, breaking out at
a deer-like speed and agility.

"Take that!"

With a roar, Ricky disappeared from visibility. His figure flickered from the left to right, distracting his
opponent. In the blink of an eye, his long saber was suddenly on the mysterious young man's chest.

As he had just done, the mysterious young man could do nothing but evade this quickly.

Although he managed to avoid Ricky's saber, the fabric on his chest was also slashed.

"The body movements of these two are so peculiarly rapid!" The grandmasters in the sky remarked.

"After all, they are geniuses of the family of Greenhill and the Snow Sect respectively, so it comes as
no surprise that they have such a high level of body movement and cultivation method."

...

Even with only the preliminary moves, a large number of female disciples of the Shui Clan exclaimed
with affection, "Now this is a worthy confrontation between young geniuses! Jason or Alan are by no
means comparable with them!"

…

Once he realized that his robe had been nicked by Ricky's saber, the mysterious young man's eyes
grew dark and murderous.



Then an intense spirit rose from his knife, giving off a fierce light, which indicated that the saber-light of
him had reached as much as 20 percent.

"It was the saber-light! Only a genius is able to comprehend it!" The disciples exclaimed once more.

With that, Dora pursed her lips and darted a malicious look at Agnes. The message was clear, "Even if
I lost, my partner will win valiantly."

Agnes ignored her. She didn't give a damn.

Did Ricky lack the Light Apperception that had been comprehended by the mysterious youth?

Not to be outdone, Ricky then turned his saber's hilt, where the intense energy was now rising. The
sharp momentum confronting far away with that of the mysterious youth.

It could be determined that Ricky's saber-light had already exceeded 10 percent.

Yes, Ricky hadn't just been practicing the Five Beasts Arts during the three rest days. He was also
comprehending the Light Apperception, and with the aid of the Devourer Zone and the Chaos Manual,
he could summon saber-light anytime and anywhere.

A few days ago, Ricky had finally succeeded in comprehending ten percent of the saber-light.

"Look, Ricky's got the saber-light too!" Disciples of the Purity Faction shouted, their eyes sparkling with
the excitement of it all.

Dora's face darkened immediately, and the mysterious young man's eyes grew fiercer. He frowned
angrily.

"Go to hell!"



The young man directly launched the cultivation method of steps without hesitation. With a roar, the
saber fell out of his hand. The blue spiritual energy turned into saber-light and came at Ricky.

"Since you have the wooden natured spiritual energy, then I will burn you with infernal power!" he
roared with fury.
