Chapter 1167 A Mysterious Man

They might have thought that Ricky would kill Redmond eventually after some hesitation instead of
accepting a compromise, but they hadn't expected him to do it so quickly.

Moreover, the Yellow Water Emperor had stated his intention to save Redmond. And they all knew very
well that the Yellow Water Emperor was a two-star lower spiritual emperor.

Compared to him, Ricky seemed like a child playing like being an adult. After all, they all thought Ricky
was merely a one-star lower spiritual emperor, as it was what their senses told them about Ricky's
pervading aura.

Indeed, the Yellow Water Emperor's advanced age and low blood vitality meant that he was a little
weaker than the spiritual emperors at the same level as him. Still, he was confident that he could defeat
any lower spiritual emperor with ease.

Meanwhile, the spectators had thought Ricky was arrogant when he ignored the Flame Valley. Now,
they were even more convinced that he was exceedingly self-important because he killed Redmond
regardless of the words of a spiritual emperor who was stronger than him.

"Humph! That young man with white hair is really arrogant!" The crowd began to murmur about Ricky
with discontent.

Some spiritual emperors even remarked, "Nowadays, many geniuses are indeed arrogant." The others
chimed in too with their own opinions and said,

"You know what? Another genius from the Flame Valley, Fitch, has also come to the Fortune River,
though he is not in this part of the river.

Once Fitch hears the news, he will undoubtedly come here to get revenge. The only thing the Yellow
Water Emperor needs to do is keep the young man with white hair here for a little longer."



"No matter what, the three newcomers will have a hard time," they added, shaking their heads in pity.

The Yellow Water Emperor was quiet for a few seconds because of shock, but he angrily turned to
Ricky when he recovered.

"Brat, didn't you hear me?" he yelled, fuming and red-faced.

The truth was that he didn't care about Redmond's death, but the fact that Ricky ignored him made him
lose face, and he would undoubtedly lose a lot of cultivation resources due to Redmond's death.

After all, Redmond was the young master of the Flame Valley. If he had saved him, Redmond would
surely give him a lot of rewards since he had promised to do so in public.

With these thoughts in his mind, the Yellow Water Emperor had already made up his mind to kill Ricky.
"You old dog, why didn't you say anything when Redmond wanted to kill me just now?"

Ricky responded ferociously with a murderous look on his face. He would not be kind to the Yellow
Water Emperor.

In his eyes, such a creature was more disgusting than Redmond. "You son of a bitch! What did you just
call me? You are courting death!" the Yellow Water Emperor snarled upon hearing Ricky's rude words.
In an instant, he leapt over and opened his mouth, from which the surging power turned into a reddish-
yellow river. The river water poured down towards Ricky like countless sharp swords.

"I said you are an old dog! And you will die more miserably than that insect you tried to protect!"
responded Ricky sharply. He stepped into the air and condensed his chromatic power into a fist,
punching towards the Yellow Water Emperor.

Boom!



When the two attacks collided, Ricky's momentum swept up, like crushing dry weeds and smashing
rotten wood. The chromatic fist was incredibly powerful that it destroyed all the Yellow Water Emperor's
attacks, and Ricky's following attacks were even faster.

The chromatic fist pierced through the Yellow Water Emperor's head, right between his eyebrows, and
obliterated his blackened soul.

After the chromatic fist dissipated, Ricky took the dead body of the Yellow Water Emperor into the
Devourer Zone. It was still useful for him because a spiritual emperor's corpse could provide much
blood vitality for his Blood Vitality Devouring Skill.

All this happened in an instant. Then, all the people watching were dumbfounded, and a deathly silence
reigned all over the river.

They did expect that the battle might come to an end very soon, but they had not expected it to end so
quickly. It was even more unexpected that Ricky had won the battle and not the Yellow Water Emperor!
The gap between the two parties' realms had made them think that Ricky would inevitably lose and die.

The deathly silence didn't recede until quite a while later.

When it did, the entire place burst into an uproar, everyone talking about their astonishment and fear.

"Ho—how is this possible? A one-star lower spiritual emperor killed a two-star lower spiritual emperor
even faster than the blink of an eye."

"Maybe the white-haired young man is concealing his true strength!"

While they were discussing, Ricky and the two girls quickly left for another part of the Fortune River.

They didn't want to give up the opportunity in the Fortune River only because they had killed two
creatures, but they felt that it was better to relocate first.



Perhaps, it was because Ricky hadn't displayed enough power earlier, but they found a creature tailing
after them not far away. This creature had let them discover him on purpose.

"We are alone here now. So, why don't you show yourself?" Ricky announced in a flat tone while
looking out into the forest.

"Hey, you, white-haired guy! You are so lucky to have two beautiful ladies in your company along the
way." A brisk voice sounded from not far away, shrouded by flora and fauna of the forest.

Then, a young man in tight white clothes and with a folding fan in his hand walked out.

The young man was not very tall and looked petite, and he had a lovely fragrance floating around his
body.

In fact, the young man had a delicate appearance, which words could not sufficiently describe. If his
hair hung down loosely, Ricky and the two girls would have thought that the person in front of them was
a fairy.

"Dragon Intent Grass, the more I look at this guy, the more I feel he looks like a girl. His appearance is
so weird!" Ricky said.

"It is indeed a little weird. Why don't you use your Golden Spirit Eyes to take a closer look?" the Dragon
Intent Grass suggested.

Nodding discreetly in agreement, Ricky secretly activated his Golden Spirit Eyes to observe, but he
found nothing wrong. He could see that this young man was really male.

'I never thought there would be such a beautiful man in the world!' Ricky thought to himself.

"Buddy, I'm not interested in men," the young man said teasingly. He had undoubtedly noticed that
Ricky was staring at him too closely, not to mention the awed expression on Ricky's face.



"Don't worry. I'm not interested in men, either. It's just that you are so beautiful," Ricky said with a faint
smile.

"I don't think it's appropriate for you to say so, buddy. After all, I came here out of kindness with the
hope to save you," the young man complained, a little annoyed by Ricky's words.

"Really? Why would you want to save us?" Ricky was a little surprised to hear that.

"You don't believe me? Let me tell you. You three are in big trouble now," the young man said seriously.

"I see. Well, may I know the name of my would-be savior?" Ricky smiled.

He didn't feel any malicious intent from the young man, so he just asked him politely. Anyway, he could
not care less about the trouble that the young man was talking about.

The so-called big trouble could be nothing more than his killing Redmond, the young master of the
Flame Valley, as well as the Yellow Water Emperor.

"My name is Edie!" The young man smiled and inclined his head in greeting.

"Buddy, it seems that not only do you look like a woman, but your name is also more like a woman's,"
Ricky commented with a smirk, which changed the mood of their guest.

It was evident that he had annoyed Edie too much this time, as Edie's face had darkened remarkably.
"Buddy, I feel like slapping you on your mouth!"

"Ha-ha, buddy, I'm just kidding!" Ricky immediately said with an apologetic smile. He put his right hand
on Edie's shoulder, patting in a friendly manner.

Seeing Ricky put his hand on his shoulder, Edie wanted to dodge subconsciously, but he didn't in the
end, though he frowned slightly.



"Tell me. Why did you say we are in trouble?" Ricky asked in a calm tone.

He didn't feel any malice from Edie, but he did feel that this guy was not simple. That was why he
prepared himself in advance despite his smile.

That was the reason he placed his right hand on Edie's shoulder. He had actually placed his hand on
Edie's vital part. "It seems that you don't believe me," said Edie with a smile.

"In the martial world, would you believe a stranger who cottons up to you with only a few words?" Ricky
asked.

"You are right. Still, I have told you my name. Don't you think you should tell me your name as well in
return?" said Edie.
