The green-robed man lifted a leg, tentatively kicking toward Richard's body. Before he could make contact, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, watching Richard's body twist and dissipate like a mist.
Then a hand was placed on his shoulder from behind.
The green-robed man felt a chill all over, but reacted quickly and spun around, releasing an energy missile behind him.
The energy missile had just left his hand when Richard appeared and extinguished it in one grab, then lightly pressed a finger on the green-robed man's brow.
The green-robed man's body instantly froze, petrified and immobile.
The gray-robed man at the door witnessed this scene, his face turned pale, and he had no courage to face Richard. He abruptly leaped, flipped out of the courtyard, and fled in panic.
Richard blinked, attempting to pursue, but sensed something and stopped, looking toward the entrance.
"Bang!"
