"Miss, don't you think your suggestion sounds unfair? After all, you are already a spiritual emperor, while I am just a demi-spiritual emperor. How could I challenge someone powerful like you? Imagine what other people would say about you," Ricky replied, slyly trying to dissuade her from a direct confrontation.
"Unfair? Why should I bother myself with being fair? Do you think a woman like me needs to do things reasonably? Besides, I don't care about what other people think of me," the woman responded snidely.
"You are the most powerful genius in the Eastern Land. If you want to save the Eastern Land, then you should accept my challenge. It's not my problem if you are not yet a spiritual emperor. You should have thought of that before you got in my way!"
The woman continued talking with no care for Ricky's words. He couldn't help but sigh helplessly. "If that is the case, then I can't refuse your challenge.
But, are you serious? If you lose, will you really leave the Eastern Land?" Ricky asked earnestly.
"Of course I mean it!" the woman scoffed at him as if she could not even entertain the idea of being defeated by a mere demi-spiritual emperor.
On the other hand, the mutant was wary of the deal, and he felt like something fishy was going on. As someone who was at a disadvantage, Ricky looked very calm, so was Mason. They seemed strangely confident as if they were sure that Ricky could win against her.
'Why do they look so confident?' the mutant thought to himself, puzzled.
'Could they be planning something? I hope their confidence would help them win this time. Otherwise, the trouble that Lady Queenie would stir here could be terrible for us human devils, especially in this era when the real devils are beginning to stir.
We, human devils, are in an embarrassing situation.
Devils don't like us, and the creatures on the continent don't want us either, ' the mutant sighed within his mind.
'Luckily, the creatures on the continent are kind-hearted essentially. After so many years, we've finally won their trust. I hope this time, Lady Queenie will be kind enough to let these people go.
It's very unwise for us to clash with the creatures on the continent at this time. Otherwise, the trust that we have accumulated over the years will be gone in an instant.'
The mutant wanted peace with the creatures on the continent, so he really wanted Queenie Murong to change her mind.
In fact, most of the human devils already thought of the continent as their home, so he hoped that she wouldn't cause trouble in this place.
In the next moment, Ricky and Queenie Murong had stepped into the void. The confrontation was inevitable.
"Miss, may I know your name? After all, I have to know who I am going to fight with," Ricky asked.
"Well, since you have the guts to fight with me, I guess you can have the privilege of knowing my name. Remember this, my name is Queenie Murong!" The woman tilted her chin upward, looking down at Ricky.
She was drowning in her confidence and arrogance. She didn't even bother to think about why Ricky dared fight with her!
Perhaps, her distinguished status had gone to her head, and now, she felt like she was better than everyone.
"It's a good and elegant name, but I don't think it fits you," Ricky commented with a teasing smile.
"Are you mocking me?" Queenie Murong asked coldly as her eyes narrowed in annoyance.
Maybe she got impatient, or perhaps Ricky's words had provoked her. Regardless of the reason, as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly appeared before Ricky. She raised her hand which was surrounded by evil spirit, intending to defeat Ricky with only one blow.
A smile crept up at the corners of Ricky's mouth, as he casually responded with a punch. In the next breath, both of them retreated, leaving deep traces in the void.
All the warriors present fell silent, as they beheld the cavity that the impact had created. Except for the Wood Saint, Mason, and Ricky's companions, all the other people felt like they had seen the sky collaps.
"How could this be possible?" the Luxurious Emperor, who was watching from a distance, remarked.
His face was livid with resentment. Apart from Norris, he was also the one who hated Ricky to the core.
"He's an incredible demi-spiritual emperor!" the mutant sighed heavily.
As a powerful saint, he was able to quickly figure out why Ricky was so powerful.
"No way! He is an incredible demi-spiritual emperor!" the other warriors gasped in shock. They couldn't believe their eyes!
