When the attack came, it felt like there was nothing striking about it. But when the energy burst out of Sham's body, the expanse was swaddled by murderous intent. The air became malodorous -- putrid and reminiscent of death.
'He must have killed countless people, ' Ricky thought. 'Otherwise, he couldn't have possessed such a strong murderous intent.'
Considering that Ricky had the massacring power, he was still caught off guard with the killing intent Sham was exuding.
'There were rumors that Sham was the best killer among the Endless Shadow. It seems fitting. As a demi-immortal, he possesses such strong murderous intent. He even overshadowed my massacring power, ' Ricky mused.
However, coward was the last word on Ricky's vocabulary. He was not going to be sitting around waiting on his doom. The infernal flames roared behind Ricky as he clenched his fists, ready to resist Sham's attack.
"Hah-hah! Sham! You Endless Shadows are still so arrogant!" Suddenly, a loud laughter boomed out of nowhere. Then, a fast-moving figure flashed before Sham.
His leg swept like a whip. The figure warded off Sham's attack for Ricky.
Then, a man, clad in red and yellow robes, appeared in front of them.
The young man had an aura that typically belonged to powerful warriors. Just like Sham, he had an energy that demanded to be the center of attention whenever he appeared.
Although they carried similarities in their aura in terms of its broadness and potency, there was a striking difference between Sham and the young man: the man's aura seemed to be more kind and amiable.
The two warriors were in sharp contrast with each other. Sham was a person to be cowered from because of his strong murderous intent. On the other hand, the young man was greatly admired by others because of his natural charisma.
This was how Ricky felt about the warriors.
'His strength is also at Sham's level. He also bears the same strong aura as Sham. He must be Hoffman, the genius of the Imperial Palace of Wildness, ' Ricky contemplated. He figured out the identity of the young man.
Hoffman of the Imperial Palace of Wildness was the most powerful genius among his peers. As a demi-immortal, he could challenge warriors who were two levels stronger than him. He and Sham were the two strongest geniuses of the Realm of Wildness.
"It's Hoffman! He also showed up!" The surrounding warriors got excited.
"But why? I don't understand. It's true that they never really got along. But they're not one to interfere with each other. Why did Hoffman attack Sham? Was it to help Ricky?"
"If Hoffman is after the spiritual space tool, he should cooperate with Sham first!"
"Who knows what's really up? But now that Hoffman had joined them, I don't think they'll fight any more.".
"Damn it! What is happening? Why is Hoffman here?" Kinsey gnashed his teeth angrily. Hoffman's unexpected appearance ruined his plans.
Kinsey dreaded the two of them the most in the whole of Fortune Land.
"We'll have to do it ourselves," Ellison said using his internal power. "This is exactly what I expected. I would be so satisfied if I get to kill Ricky with my own hands.
Besides, those old dogs won't take part in the final fight because they don't have enough dragon meridian."
"Ricky got lucky. He gets to live another day. I want to take his life as soon as possible, so I cooperated with Sham," Kinsey growled. .
Ricky, like the others, also wanted to know the reason why Hoffman helped him.
"Maybe Hoffman just enjoys working against Sham?" Ricky theorized.
"Hoffman, get out of my way! I don't want to waste time on you!" Sham spat coldly, his eyes glaring darts at him.
"Ha-ha! Come on, Sham. Fight me!" Hoffman quipped. He was wearing a mischievous grin on his face.
