"Dragon Intent Grass, Oswald is already dead, but why hasn't the one behind him come out yet?" At
that moment, Ricky found the situation confusing, so he had to ask the Dragon Intent Grass for some
answers.
Ricky glanced at the men in black from the corner of his eye. He found it odd that these men were still
as calm as before despite Oswald's death.
"I don't know. Is it possible that the people behind Oswald just used him?" the Dragon Intent Grass said
with doubt.
Bang!
As soon as the Dragon Intent Grass' words faded, a space rift emerged above Oswald's dead body.
Soon after, a large black hand, which was formed by the evil spirit, popped out.
In addition, all the creatures around felt and were certain that it was made of the purest evil spirit of all.
"How can this happen? But...That's a devil!" all the warriors who witnessed this said in a serious tone.
"Now, a devil shows up? What are the odds?" Ricky huffed.
However, he wasn't at all surprised to find that the people commanding Oswald was connected with a
devil, because from what he had learned from those men in black, Oswald was most probably in
cahoots with a devil.
But the only thing he did not understand was why the devils didn't show up until they knew that Oswald
was already dead.
Moreover, Ricky could vaguely sense that he had already seen the hand before, and that it somehow
looked very familiar to his eyes.
'Why does it look familiar? Where have I ever seen this before?' Ricky wondered doubtfully. As he tried
to refresh his memory, he suddenly stumbled upon a scene in his mind.
At that moment, his memory took him back to what had happened in the Snow Land.
Back when he killed Nate, it was the exact same giant devil's hand that took away Nate's corpse.
In the same way, it also targeted Oswald's dead body.
However, so many spiritual emperors were present at the moment, preventing the devil's big hand from
descending to the ground.
Moreover, these spiritual emperors could also feel the devil power that the hand emitted. As a result,
these spiritual emperors attacked the hand all at the same time.
At that moment, these people would do everything in their power to stop the devil hand from getting
what it desired.
Moreover, they also thought that this devil was the one controlling Oswald.
Boom!
Soon after, an earsplitting noise echoed through the air. All the spiritual emperors' attacks collided with
the hand, sweeping the strong waves of air through the void again.
Puff! Puff!
Amidst the airwaves, all the spiritual emperors fell heavily onto the ground, spitting mouthfuls of blood
from their mouths.
Everyone who witnessed it was beyond shocked to see such a scene.
At that moment, a devil's hand defeated all the spiritual emperors in the blink of an eye.
"How can this happen? That...That power is as strong as that of a demi-saint!" a spiritual emperor
roared upon recognizing the power that the hand had.
"D...Demi-saint!" At that moment, the warriors' eyes were instantly filled with fear.
How could they possibly survive the attacks from a demi-saint?
"How can this happen? He's a demi-saint!" Ricky and the Dragon Intent Grass also exclaimed in
disbelief.
At that moment, they were at a loss for words as they had not expected that the devil behind Oswald
was at the demi-saint level.
When Ricky learned this, his face grew dismal in an instant.
"Greetings, stupid idiots from the continent!" a disdainful voice echoed at the moment. After the hand
took away Oswald's corpse, a middle-aged man in black covered with natural evil spirit walked out of
the space rift.
Without a doubt, this was an actual devil.
At that moment, the entire space was shrouded in an oppressive atmosphere due to the presence of
the devil.
With the strong devil's aura filling the whole void, every creature felt the suppressive pressure.
Upon seeing the creatures from the continent, the devil's dreadful and greedy eyes revealed his vicious
desire for blood among the creatures in the area.
"Now that I've shown myself, there is nothing more to do but commence my massive slaughter. After
all, I haven't experienced the feeling of bathing in blood for a long time."
Boom!
As soon as his voice trailed off, the devil blinked his eyes. Instantly, hundreds of creatures who were
there turned into blood mist. Gathering his power, the devil grabbed them and devoured them in one
terrifying gulp.
"Ha-ha, yes, the blood of the ants on the continent is really delicious and delightful," the devil said in a
joyous tone as he devoured and refined the blood.
He found that it was the right time for him to show up here. After all, the strongest ones here were
merely middle spiritual emperors. Even if there were upper spiritual emperors present, he could still
easily kill them.
Moreover, he thought the other devils were being too cautious. In fact, they were missing the chance of
killing and devouring weaker warriors on the continent before the stronger ones arrived.
At this moment, there was nothing but infinite fear revolving around the atmosphere, including the
hearts of the spiritual emperors. Without a doubt, spiritual emperors were superior, among others.
However, they were just like ants under the presence of demi-saints.
Unfortunately for these spiritual emperors, that was what was happening at the moment.
"Damn the devils!" Ricky roared and clenched his fists in anger.
He knew he had made a mistake. He had never expected that the devil supporting Oswald from behind
was a demi-saint. At this moment, he could not help but blame himself, because he thought that it was
just him who had brought the devil here.
He believed that if the battle between Oswald and him had not happened, then the demi-saint devil
would have never shown up in the first place.
"Ricky, don't blame yourself. Even if you didn't kill Oswald, the spiritual emperors here would not let him
go either. This is not your fault. This demi-saint devil would still appear whatever happens," the Dragon
Intent Grass said.
"What we can do now is to think of what we have to do!"
"Dragon Intent Grass, I'm not a person who gives up easily, but the big gap in strength will determine
the result," Ricky argued.
Everyone knew that Ricky would never give up on anything without a fight. Otherwise, he wouldn't have
become an incredible demi-spiritual emperor. However, he also understood that there was a big gap in
power that could not be narrowed by any means in a short period of time.
Moreover, this was also an indication of the cruelty of the world of martial arts.
Meanwhile, the devil shifted his eyes to Ricky.
"Wow, boy. As an incredible demi-spiritual emperor, you defeated a man who owned the Blue Water
Mutant. Your blood power must be very strong. In fact, I have personally felt it. I believe your blood
must be more delicious."
As he spoke, the demi-saint devil walked towards Ricky.
At that moment, everything was suppressed under the great pressure of the demi-saint. The space was
blocked, and all the creatures in this area couldn't move, including the spiritual emperors who had
already stood up.
Without a doubt, this was another kind of power that was stronger than the ruling power.
"A devil! I will show you no mercy!"
Suddenly, a cold voice pierced through the air. Wherever the voice passed, all the power of the devil
was destroyed. Soon after, a flame rose up in the air like a blazing sun burning down towards the demi-
saint devil.
At that moment, it was the devil's turn to get frightened at such power. After all, his fear was not much
weaker than what the creatures around had felt towards him. Obviously, the power of this flame was
much greater than that of this devil.
Meanwhile, on this flame, a middle-aged man in red old shabby armor appeared.
He looked ordinary at first sight, but what made him superior was his momentum.
"I am the saint guardian who has been guarding this land for the past one thousand years. All those
years, I have never expected that there would be an actual devil who would appear here," the middle-
aged man said monotonously as he ascended in the air.
His tone reflected very strong killing intent to murder devils in cold blood.
"Could he be...the saint guardian!" "I didn't expect that a saint guardian actually exists. Hooray! He will
save us!" All the warriors around got excited as they learned about the real identity of the middle-aged
man.
