Sky Fall Legend 96 Jupiter vs. Vik Saver 2

The sound of metal colliding left Vik Saver shocked! He thought he would instantly annihilate this brat, but he was actually blocked! Jodye Trill blocked with his sword and was knocked 10 meters back before he steadied himself, as Vik launched himself forward again without hesitation, in spite of his shock. The violet flames on the tip of his spear were ablaze as he stabbed forward with his most potent battle skill!

Flaming Boar, 500 BP!

Jodye Trill's face was dignified. Two of the hieroglyphs on the scarlet flame magic sword lit up as it blazed with scarlet-gold flaming qi momentum containing savage might! Jodye slashed out with a lot more than 300 BP of blazing qi. This was the spell embedded into this magic sword! This two-star spell was what made it a magical sword.

Burning Heaven Slash, 540 BP!

BOOM!

The two attacks collided, and the shockwaves produced wrecked the surrounding trees and foliage to complete ruin, as a vast dust cloud emerged. The surround goons even felt their organs tremble, forcing them to cough out blood as they raised qi barriers to protect themselves, and little River was luckily protected by this as well.

Crash!

A shadow shot out of the dust cloud and crashed through the run-down shack that had barely survived the shockwaves of the previous clash. This man had a mangled arm and a bloody gash on his chest. It was none other than Vik Saver!

"Boss!"

"Oh shit! Let's get out of here bro!"

"You don't have to tell me twice."

The visual impact of this brief exchange was so powerful that it left these six men terrified. Three of them immediately turned tail and ran while the other three scrambled to the ruins of the shack.

Little River coughed a bit of dust out from her lungs and then looked back at the wrecked building. She felt warm and tingly inside, but also slightly terrified. Who was the mysterious hero boy? Was he really here to help her? Why would he do that? He was even more domineering than that big bully Vik Saver!

"Hey midget, are you lost? Quickly, quickly, now. Go on, come, come," Jodye Trill was breathing heavily as he impatiently motioned for little River to come to his side. He had used about 40% of his origin energy in that attack just now, but he had only heavily injured the opponent! It was a severe injury, sure, but Jodye felt like that strike could have killed Hemp Saver very easily! So it turned out that this Voodoo Priest Vik Saver was actually the one who was superior in strength.

Was this the benefit of dual path cultivation?

Then again, it was perhaps due to the difference in cultivation realms, or maybe this guy Vik was simply a tough cookie. Even though Jodye knew he could kill him, it didn't seem to be worth the effort. He only came here to rescue a child that actually had nothing to do with himself. As a child himself, he felt an uncontrollable sympathy for her. However, he didn't see the need to murder indiscriminately. Even if this guy was a scumbag, who knew what consequences of killing him would bring. Sylvester warned Jodye countless times to take care of his karma. Jodye wasn't worried about Vik Saver's revenge, as he had Sigma's protection if things got too crazy.

Little River came to her senses quickly, as she snapped out of her state of reverie. She got up and nervously ran over to hide behind Jodye's legs.

"Mister, will you really help me?" she asked in a soft and timid, yet adorable, voice.

"Am I not currently helping?" responded Jodye indifferently. "What's your name, kid?"

"Uhm…" Little River hesitated, but ultimately decided to trust this savior of hers, "I'm River. River of the clan Nile."

"River… of the Nile…" Jodye Trill was stunned speechless for at least half a breathe until he noticed that this little girl's eyes were a vibrant blue color that was even brighter than his own eyes. He exclaimed in wonder, "How beautiful…"

River's little face turned a shade of beet red when she heard his words. She had never been complimented by a male she was curious about so outright like this. This was due in part to her never having been curious about another male, as Jodye was the first male in her life to catch her attention. Thus, little River didn't know how to respond at all. She just lowered her head and shuffled her feet uncomfortably.

Meanwhile, Jodye was in a daze and ultimately didn't notice this reaction. This girl's name gave him an odd feeling, as it reminded him of the name of a river in his old world. Subconsciously, he felt a little more familiar with this girl. He decided to not only rescue this lost child but to deliver her to her so-called older brother as well. After making this decision, Jodye smiled brilliantly as he glanced at her, "Well, how about it? Do you want to come with me?"

This dazzling smile short-circuited the little girl's brain, and she could only nod dully. In the next second, River Nile was stunned to find herself in the air with wind encouraging her wavy light brown hair to assault her delicate little face. Jodye Trill had already cradled her into his arms and sped away like a ghost. After all, he was alone, and Vik Saver had friends! If he let them regroup things might not end so quickly or easily. The key to successfully defeating a stronger opponent is always the element of surprise. Once the surprise was gone, the difficulty level would rise exponentially. A Thunderbolt Purgatory would probably silence all four opponents before they could regroup, but Jodye had no way of knowing if they possessed protective measures.

Jodye was definitely not foolish enough to gamble in such a situation.

The previous fight had taught him how much he still had to learn about this world's mystic arts. Even though he was far more powerful than opponents at his own rank, the martial artists of the upper realms were all terrifying. The opponent he thought wasn't a match for himself was actually able to fight on the same level as him with relative ease. As a result, Jodye had nearly suffered from overconfidence. Luckily, he indeed had some capital to be confident about. However, it seemed that without his combat guardians present Jodye should be a lot more cautious.

This world was full of skilled warriors with hidden tricks!

He wouldn't underestimate an opponent so quickly again.

Jodye swiftly ran across the rooftops of various buildings, continually changing directions before switching to the streets and doing the same. This way he could be sure that he wasn't being followed. Unless the opponent could fly, tracking him was hopeless. Of course, if that were the case, then Jodye's actions would just seem silly. This was an old tactic from his days as a spy that had long since become a habit. During this period, Jodye learned a lot about this little girl named River. River Nile was only six-years-old this year, but she was actually already a martial warrior with Sage path cultivation at the sophomore rank. They had this in common. She came from the royal capital of the South Ward to this end on a journey with her mother.

They aimed to stop her older brother from doing something reckless.

However, when asked what this something reckless was, River would remain quiet and evasive. Obviously, it wasn't any reasonable level of recklessness.

"Nile… The Nile clan… Wait!" Jodye Trill suddenly exclaimed after raking through his memories. He had read many books in his youth, and among them, there were countless tomes related to the structure, culture, and formation of Pangaea. He actually heard of the Nile clan, and he was inwardly shocked, "The Pharaoh King of the South, his name is Thoth Nile. Could it be that she is related to the Pharaoh? A member of the royal family?"

However, Jodye decided not to ask this child such a question, as it would likely make things difficult for her. If he forced the information out, then a sort of mental barrier would erect itself between the two. Jodye was fond of this child with a pretty name, so he didn't want such a scene to occur. He would naturally discover who she was if they rescued her mother.

Thirty minutes later, Jodye Trill and River Nile were standing silently behind Dessa Chimes. Dessa wore pink tights and a stylish black blouse as she observed a big man in overalls walking to different stalls on market street.

Suddenly, Dessa Chimes felt a whisper in the corner of her mind that she had surrendered to her esteemed Mr. Jupiter, the voice was gentle and soothing as it whispered, "Behind you…"
