Chapter 985 Murderous Intent (1/2)

Ricky was pushed farther by the impact, which implied he was relatively weaker than Carney. The truth, however, was that people in the surroundings did feel that Ricky was emitting the power which was comparable to a demi-spiritual emperor's.

This battle demonstrated the extent of Ricky's strength.

They could tell that he hadn't become a demi-spiritual emperor yet and that the power he released was not incomplete ruling power. All these indicated that he had burst out the power of a demi-spiritual emperor when he was just a completed spiritual king.
