The stranger's voice was as cold as ice that it filled the entire area with terror. An ominous feeling suddenly washed over them as an atmosphere of horror smothered their surroundings. As they looked up in the sky, a ball of yellow lightning launched towards them at full speed. Before they could even blink their eyes, mighty rays of lightning radiated and flooded towards the direction of the Nether Army. Overwhelmed by its potent attack, they had no other choice but to stop attacking the three warriors on the ground.
The Nether Army lost their composure under the pressure of the situation that their jaws dropped out of surprise. It had never occurred to them that someone would come to save the disciples of the Oriental College. Fixing their eyes on the ball of lightning, they were surprised to see that it landed on the ground and revealed itself to be none other than Ricky himself.
"Daisy, Warren and Thiago, are you all right? I'm so sorry that I couldn't get to you earlier. I traveled as fast as I could," Ricky worriedly asked as he walked towards them to check if they were injured.
Since Ricky was afraid that he would be late in rescuing his friends, he decided to get into the Chaotic Fire Zone and come to where they were by himself. Fortunately, he arrived just in time and prevented them from getting killed. They all breathed sighs of relief the moment they realized Ricky finally arrived to help them out.
"No, you are not late at all. We are really happy to see that you are here!" Daisy felt giddy with excitement as her eyes landed on Ricky. Struggling to stand on her injured feet, she grinned widely at Ricky with her eyes sparkling with joy. A glimmer of hope aroused from her heart that gradually drove away her despair.
Warren and Thiago nodded in agreement as they looked at Ricky expectantly. They hoped that they would be plucked to safety after being stuck in this battle for such a long time.
Although there was still one nagging doubt at the back of their mind, they had no other choice but to believe that Ricky could handle this critical situation. Because with their current strength, neither of them were strong enough to confront the Nether Army. Their only option was to depend on Ricky under the given circumstances. They also believed that Ricky would never cease to surprise them, just like Daisy told them.
'Ricky, our lives are now in your hands. I have to admit that you are indeed an ace genius. I hope you can continue to create more wonders for a long time, ' Thiago quietly thought to himself as he silently prayed for no harm to befall them.
"You guys can enter my spiritual space tool and take your rest. Until you fully recover from your injuries, I will deal with them by myself," Ricky told them, communicating through their telepathic link as he sensed that they were out of danger.
Before the six members of the Nether Army could notice, Ricky immediately brought them into the Mind Palace Model. Ricky thought that if they were there to help him, there was a good chance that the Nether Army would kidnap them and use them to threaten him, so he thought it would be best for him to keep them away under the given circumstances. Knowing that his friends were completely safe, Ricky felt more relaxed than he used to be. He could now concentrate his efforts on the battle since there were no distractions anymore.
"You have a spiritual space tool? I guess that's more than enough proof that you are indeed Ricky," Landon exclaimed with excitement. He was completely ignoring the fact that Ricky had brought their three opponents into his space as he stared at him with greedy eyes.
As Daisy expected, Ricky was the reason why a great number of the Nether Army from the Nether Manor went into the Land of Legacy. They wanted nothing but to kill Ricky while as for the other talents, they just killed them for fun.
So it was no wonder that they were so excited that they could hardly contain themselves the moment Ricky suddenly was right in front of them. They had been waiting for this moment for such a long time and now they finally have the chance to complete their mission.
"You look quite excited to see me. It seems that you guys have been waiting for me for a while now," Ricky calmly replied with a faint smile painted across his face.
"That's right. Since we entered the Land of Legacy, the entire Nether Army has been looking all over for you. We gave up all of our cultivation opportunities in order to capture you. But you are really good at hiding yourself in different places that we failed to track you down no matter how hard we tried. So we had no other choice left but to turn our attention to the other talents from the Oriental College." Landon paused for a moment and continued, "But that decision seems to be paying off right now. When you realized that we killed those innocent talents from the Oriental College, you were filled with righteous indignation due to our attacks. So it is absolutely certain that you would step up and come to their aid."
"Maybe you are right," Ricky slightly replied as he appeared composed. "But you can just save your breath and tell me your name. I have killed three people from the Nether Army and I don't want to kill another one without even knowing his name."
"What were you saying? You have killed three of our people?" Upon hearing Ricky, Landon was incandescent with rage. His voice was as cold as ice as he gave Ricky a hostile glare.
It was not because Ricky's remarks hurt his feelings when he talked about the three warriors of the Nether Army, but in his opinion, the Nether Army was unbeatable in the world of martial arts and others usually had no choice but to surrender themselves to their overwhelming power. But now, he couldn't contain his anger when he heard a mere nobody challenging their authority.
"Do you have a problem with that? Did you really think we would just let the Nether Army kill us and without fighting back? You are so unreasonable." Upon hearing Landon, Ricky coldly smiled with a look of complete disdain on his face.
"Ricky, there is one thing you should always keep in mind. In the Nether Army, there are a total of six leaders, and every leader is a worthy first-class genius," Daisy told Ricky from the Mind Palace Model.
"And the one in front of you is the sixth leader, Landon. It is absolutely certain that his strength has reached the top level of a first-class middle spiritual king." Daisy calmly analyzed the current situation. She thought that it was necessary to alert him that he needed to be careful when dealing with Landon.
"Is that so? Is he really a first-class middle spiritual king? That sounds great! He is indeed a powerful competitor. But you don't need to worry about me. I have been resting for a few days and it is time for me to get back in the battlefield." Ricky sent a message to her via telepathy as a small smile grew on his face.
Ricky's words struck a tremble into Daisy's head. They thought that when Ricky learned about Landon's real strength, he would at least be surprised, but he remained to be very composed after hearing the news.
