"Ha-ha! This Ricky is a fool! He must have no idea what our young master is capable of," another man mocked Ricky, letting out a boisterous laugh.
"Keep this in mind, brat. My name is Benny, and I will be sending you back to your creator soon," the young man in charge of the group from the Seven-mouthed Greed Beast tribe growled with a ferocious expression. In the next second, he unleashed his momentum and aimed it at Ricky.
This revealed that Benny was an upper spiritual emperor.
When Ricky's companions sensed his momentum, their eyebrows furrowed in concern. They didn't expect that their opponent would be so daunting.
"This is bad! He is an upper spiritual emperor!" they exclaimed in unison.
It didn't take a genius to know that they couldn't hold a candle against an opponent that was an upper spiritual emperor.
They were aware that Ricky stood no chance against Benny, who had the higher level.
It would have been better if Benny had just broken through since that would give them a better chance. Unfortunately, they could tell that Benny had broken through to that level a long time ago.
He was a truly formidable opponent, which they should have expected, seeing as he was a Seven-mouthed Greed Beast.
"Benny, if you dare to harm me, the Fox tribe will hunt you down," Leilani threatened the other man, trying to act tough even when she was anxious.
She knew they couldn't fight them head-on, so she tried to intimidate Benny and his companions with the influence of her tribe.
Her brain felt clouded by anxiety. If she was in her right mind, Leilani would never have made the same threat when faced with the descendants of the Greed Beast. After all, the Greed Beast was short-sighted, and once it had set its sights on something, it wouldn't give up. No influence or power could make it back off. As long as it thought of you as prey, it would hunt you down relentlessly.
"Hmm... Leilani, huh? I've heard of you. You are the holy daughter of the Seven-tailed Fox tribe. To be honest, if it weren't for that hottie, you would have been my first choice of all the girls here," Benny remarked lustfully when he heard Leilani's threat.
The greed in his voice was eerily apparent, and it made Leilani's skin crawl.
"Calm down, Leilani. You must have been too nervous you even forgot that the Greed Beast tribe values strength above all else. Threats will never work on them," Claire reminded Leilani through telepathy.
"Don't worry so much. Ricky got this!" she added further as she gazed at Ricky with confidence.
"Are you sure? This guy has a higher level than Ricky. I'm worried he might overwhelm Ricky..." responded Leilani worriedly.
"We'll be fine... Since he didn't ask us to escape, he is confident that he can handle it," Claire reassured her.
"Ricky, let me deal with this guy. It has been a while since he became an upper spiritual emperor," the Evil Mandragora proposed telepathically.
"My lady, please don't act rashly. If you make a move now, you will inevitably release the evil spirit, which will draw the attention of all the saints in the Legendary Beast Region," Ricky immediately warned her.
"But how can I let you fight? You are at a disadvantage in the skip-level challenge," protested the Evil Mandragora.
"Ha-ha! Who knows? Maybe I got back my ability to challenge opponents with superior levels now," he responded, looking unruffled despite his oppressive assailant.
With no hesitation, Ricky stepped forward and stood opposite Benny.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The next second started with Ricky bursting out the seven kinds of Light Apperception, and the forces with distinct colors tangled with one another.
"You have the nerve to fight with me!" Benny uttered with a disdainful sneer. "You might be a top genius, but don't overestimate yourself! You cannot defeat someone with a superior level."
Ever since Ricky acquired Paul's inheritance in the Third Sheol City, he landed on the radar of countless forces, and those people sent spies to watch his every move. That was how they found out about what happened during Ricky's fight with Fernando.
It was the reason Benny was so confident that Ricky stood no chance against him, as long as he had a higher level than him.
The moment Benny finished speaking, he sprang into action and released the extreme power of greed, throwing a punch in Ricky's direction at the same time.
The fist shadow transformed into a mouth intermittently. Ricky realized he could sense the strong devouring power in the fist shadow, and that must be why it was so potent.
The devouring power that the fist shadow contained seemed as strong as that in Ricky's Devourer Zone.
'I heard that the Greed Beasts not only possess a strong power of greed, but they also have the devouring power. I see now that rumor is accurate...' Ricky silently mused as he contemplated Benny's attack.
In a glance, he could tell that Benny's punch contained both the devouring power and the greed power.
That meant Benny could not only devour the Light Apperception and the Intent Apperception, but he could also devour Ricky's flesh and cells.
