As soon as the three members of the Nether Army finished speaking, energy burst from their bodies.
They each looked like a second-class middle spiritual king. It was then that Ricky realized why Ian, who had been ranked third among the outer disciples at the Oriental College, would look so uncollected in front of them.
"How ridiculous! You can only kill us in your dreams!" Soar said disdainfully with a mocking smile on his face.
By then, Ian had also given off his energy. Although he did not think Ricky and his fellows would be able to beat the three members of the Nether Army, he did not attempt to escape. He was going to fight with all his strength.
"Terrence, Ricky, can you pin down two of them for me while I kill the other one?" Ian asked seriously.
"Ian, I said they were no match for us!" Soar sneered again. Then, he suddenly jumped forward in front of one member of the Nether Army. He launched a flame fist toward him.
"Damn, you're courting death," the member of the Nether Army said coldly. His black hand caught Soar's flame fist before it could land on his face.
Following a dull, colliding sound, both Soar and the member of the Nether Army stepped back.
The member of the Nether Army took more steps back than Soar.
What had happened stunned not only the three members of the Nether Army but also Ian.
During this round of battle, Ricky sensed the evil spirit from the power given off by the member of the Nether Army, which he found confusing. He asked Tina telepathically, "Tina, do you sense the evil spirit?"
"Ricky, all those members of the Nether Army practice both the dark energy and the evil spirit. They just practice the evil spirit less." Tina confirmed Ricky's findings.
"That's really the evil spirit? But how could creatures from the continent practice that?" Ricky asked again. He was surprised to hear Tina's confirmation. Ricky had attempted to practice the evil spirit when he was in the fragment of ancient battlefield in the Realm of Wildness a long time ago. But he had failed and given up very soon because the evil spirit repelled creatures from the continent to the highest extent.
"Ricky, they are called the Nether Army. I'm afraid their bodies are more like devils. After practicing the dark energy for a long time, they can practice the evil spirit as well," Tina explained.
"So that explains it. No wonder the Nether Manor is the center of all the evil powers in the whole Eastern Land," Ricky sighed.
"Ricky, all the warriors of the Nether Army practice the dark energy and the evil spirit. That's why they are so terrible," Terrence also told Ricky telepathically.
"I've perceived that they practice the evil spirit. Are they related to the devils?" Ricky asked.
"I don't know, but nobody has ever found any connection between the Nether Manor and the devils. Otherwise, they would not have existed in the continent," Terrence answered.
"Their practice of the evil spirit isn't an enough reason for the powers in the Middle Land to destroy them,"
Terrence added.
"Hem! The Nether Army specializes in hunting and killing geniuses, but in my opinion, they are mediocre warriors," Soar said scornfully and started floating in the air. Flame began burning around his body.
"It seems that you've grown a lot in the Land of Legacy. But unfortunately for you, we, the Nether Army, are too powerful for you to understand even if you view yourselves as righteous warriors," the member of the Nether Army who Soar attacked earlier said.
With a loud sound, the dark energy and the evil spirit moved from his body and merged into darker enlightening power.
By doing this, the member of the Nether Army seemed to gain a sort of blood power of innate spirit. His power was increasing quickly.
