CHAPTER 634 IAN

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. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"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.

"Looks like he's demonizing," Ricky observed.

He was not worried about Soar. At the moment, Soar could not be beaten by anybody weaker than a

first-class middle spiritual king.

"I don't want to understand you at all because I only want to kill you," Soar retorted. Then, he launched

himself toward the member of the Nether Army.

"Samson, let's take on the other two. Let's see who kills their opponent first," Terrence told Samson.

Terrence did not invite Ricky to battle because he thought Ricky was much stronger than them by now.

They were no longer at the same level.

"Let us see indeed." Samson burst out laughing. Samson jumped forward to attack another member of

the Nether Army.

Terrence was about to charge at the last member, but Ian stopped him.

"Terrence, it seems that all of you have improved your power greatly, but please leave the last member

of the Nether Army to me. They've been hunting me down for the past few days. You have no idea how

desperate I was," Ian said in resentment.

"But you're injured, Ian," Terrence said anxiously.

"I will fight just one of them. I can manage," Ian answered.

"Terrence, let Ian fight the last one of them," Ricky interjected. He walked to Ian and put an

Enlightening Fruit in his hand secretly.

"Ricky, this is..." Ian was too astonished to ask Ricky.

"This is an Enlightening Fruit, Ian. Don't you know it? Use it before you fight. It will greatly help your

injury," Ricky answered.

"Of course I know it's an Enlightening Fruit, but I think it's too valuable a gift for me," Ian said.

"We're schoolmates, Ian. Please don't regard me as a stranger. Otherwise, I will think you're unwilling

to make friends with me because I have many enemies," Ricky said with a smile.

"Ricky, I don't choose my friends based on the number of their enemies," Ian said, somewhat pissed off

by Ricky's words.

"I understand. Please take this Enlightening Fruit. Then you can kill that member of the Nether Army,"

Ricky said, still smiling.

He did not say anything more to persuade Ian. He believed that Ian would accept the Enlightening

Fruit.

Ricky did not know Ian very well. The reason he gave him the Enlightening Fruit was that Ian and

Terrence seemed to get along well with each other.

He believed that Terrence's friends had good character, and he wanted to befriend them, too.

Besides, Ian might not be able to defeat the last member of the Nether Army in his current condition.

An Enlightening Fruit would be quite helpful. Otherwise, even if they interfered and rescued Ian from

the Nether Army, a loss would negatively affect Ian's martial career.

Ian did not say any more either. After nodding at Ricky, he merged the Enlightening Fruit into his body.

Slowly, he walked to the last member of the Nether Army.

Ian no longer looked uncollected at all. His body emanated a strong killing intent. He looked

determined.

"You're next. Time to pay," Ian told the last member of the Nether Army. His killing intent flashed across

his eyes.

"You're overestimating your power. You couldn't beat me when you were sound and healthy. How do

you expect to defeat me with a broken body now?" the last member of the Nether Army said mockingly.
