Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 1340 Wally

'What a bunch of hypocrites! It doesn't matter that they are dedicated to fighting off the devil race. I'm going to make them pay for doing this to me, ' Ricky swore to himself as he viciously glared at the saints.

Unfortunately, even though he wanted them dead badly, he had to control his temper and pretend that nothing happened.

It was a relief that these saints believed Ricky's claim. They believed that the man who had taken him away once was in possession of Paul's inheritance now. However, they were convinced that Ricky must know something about Paul's inheritance.

Hence, these greedy saints wouldn't leave Ricky alone.

The saints couldn't lay a hand on him while they were inside the Third Sheol City. To top that off, Ricky was participating in the selection. The only thing they could do was to order their disciples to do the job for them. Considering that Ricky seemed to always have something up his sleeve, they were worried that their disciples might be no match for his strength.

They were afraid that Ricky would overpower their people and run away. Thus, in order to ensure that everything went well, they covertly shattered Ricky's meridians themselves.

Now that they had weakened him, it would be easier for their disciples to deal with him whether he would join the selection or not. In their mind, the most important thing they needed to do was to get Ricky under their grasp, and then everything would follow smoothly. They had a thousand ways to get Ricky to tell them about the content of Paul's inheritance after all.

Currently, Ricky was in a bad state. He had been greatly weakened after the saints destroyed his meridians, but the saints were still afraid that he would somehow slip away from their hands.

With these fears in mind, they reached a consensus that they were going to shatter all of Ricky's meridians. In that way, Ricky would not be able to recover quickly even if he had rare Treasures from Heaven and Earth to heal himself.

'Dang it!" Ricky roared in his heart when he sensed another power coming toward him, knowing what the saints were trying to do this time.

However, he couldn't do anything about it. He had to endure whatever these saints had planned for him.

"Ricky!"

Twin voices suddenly resounded from the crowd.

It was none other than Lloyd and Mordechai, who just emerged from the crowd and were now running towards him

But despite the anger in their hearts, there was little they could do. After all, this was how the martial world worked. The strong would always dominate the weak.

While the duo hovered over Ricky worriedly, another force appeared and descended upon him. It was another power sent by a saint, but this one seemed to be keeping him safe.

This new power was very potent.

Ricky sensed the new power as well, classifying it at the Sage Level. It brought him great relief, and he began to rid himself of all those powers that had shattered his meridians. Soon, they began to dissipate.

"At last, a good saint has come to your defense! If they succeeded in destroying your meridians again, you wouldn't have been able to cultivate ever again.

Though, if the kind saint came a little bit earlier, maybe he could have saved your other meridians. With your present state, you'll have to use a lot of Treasures from Heaven and Earth if you want to recover fast,” said the Dragon Intent Grass.

"I don't mind the initial injuries. I'm just thankful that someone finally stepped in and gave me a hand," replied Ricky. He didn't expect that anyone would help him, let alone such a powerful savior. Meanwhile, the other warriors present had also begun to realize that something was going on behind the scenes. “It looks like some strong warriors had made a move against Ricky because of Paul's inheritance. But someone came to Ricky's rescue for the sake of the continent, ' they thought to themselves.

A thick tension settled over the place at once.

Reluctantly, the warriors who were assaulting Ricky withdrew their powers.

They tried to break Ricky's meridians for the second time because they wanted to capture him. But they had to back off when someone came to his rescue, or else, a commotion could erupt, and the Misty South Palace would get involved. That was the last thing they wanted to happen.

Besides, everything was under their control now.

A few moments later, a loud voice rang out of the blue, shattering the fragile silence that had settled over them. "All right, everyone, the young man already said that he doesn't have Paul's inheritance with him. You won't get what you want from him, so why don't you just leave?"

A middle-aged man clad in black clothes appeared out of nowhere, catching everyone's attention. The surrounding warriors surreptitiously checked his strength and found that the man was stronger than most saints there.

Ricky also noticed that this newcomer was emitting the same power that had saved him earlier. Judging by the man's clothes and power, Ricky guessed that he was a member of the Endless Shadow. There was no doubt that he was from the Endless Shadow force.

"So, this guy is from the Endless Shadow, huh? But why is he here?" the Dragon Intent Grass blurted out in utter confusion as it eyed the man in black.

As far as it knew, Ricky was not allied with the Endless Shadow. In fact, he had a grudge against that force. And yet, a member of that force had saved him

Ricky, too, was utterly confused. He also had no clue why someone from the Endless Shadow rescued him.

He was afraid that the middle-aged man might have figured out his plan, which would be bad news for him.

"Ha-ha! What a surprise to see you here, sir. If you say so, there's no need for us to needle Ricky more about Paul's inheritance. We should just pay attention if anyone will unleash the time power similar to Paul's,” a saint cut in with a fake smile.

After that, those saints left one after another, leading their people into the Third Sheol City.

"Ricky, are you all right?" Lloyd asked with a worried frown.

"Don't worry, everyone. I'm okay!" Ricky reassured them even as he struggled to endure the pain. However, the others could all see that he looked unwell, so those who had planned to capture him inwardly rejoiced.

On the other hand, Lloyd and those who cared for Ricky couldn't hide the worry on their faces. Wally, the newcomer, landed beside Ricky, and Ricky's companions, including Lloyd, greeted the man with much respect, "Sir!"

Even though Lloyd was a saint as well, he had to show reverence for Wally since the other man was way out of his league.

After all, Wally was one of the top warriors in the entire Middle Land and the Third Sheol City. Even some of the Misty South Palace's leaders who were in charge in the Third Sheol City would not dare to mess with him.

The Endless Shadow actually had thirty-six lords in their stronghold.

And those lords were saints who were much stronger than those at their level.

Wally was one of these prestigious lords.

It was thanks to these thirty-six lords, who were all saints, that the Endless Shadow was considered as one of the top sixteen major forces on the four continents. "Thank you for your help, sir!"

Ricky inclined his head curtly at Wally. "Don’t mention it. I'm sorry, I should have acted faster.

If it's alright with you, you can stay with me for a while. I can help you heal your broken meridians, and it will just take a couple of days. Perhaps, I can't heal you fully, but I will at least try my best to heal you so that it won't hold you back in the selection,”

Wally proposed with an amiable smile.

"I owe you my life, sir. Of course, I trust you. Thank you for your kindness," Ricky said in reply. Honestly, he wanted to reject his offer. Wally could probably sense his real strength, and he wasn't sure if he could truly trust the man.

But Ricky also knew that if he didn't have a strong saint like Wally on his side, the other saints wouldn't stop giving him a hard time. It would be troublesome to deal with in the first few days of the selection.

"All right, everyone, I'll meet you in the selection!" Ricky said to Lloyd and the others.

"Okay! Take care of yourself." Lloyd nodded at Ricky, looking relieved that his friend had such a strong saint to back him up.

None of them complained that Ricky wouldn't be spending time with them. After all, they all knew that he would be much safer with Wally around.
