At this moment, Ryan Ling was clearly on the verge of collapse. His power was teetering at the edge of total breakdown, ready to explode at any second. The Heaven‑Earth Sect elites surrounding him were all terrifyingly strong, and they’d seized this golden opportunity to go all‑out, launching a frenzied counterattack against Ryan. In this situation, Ryan’s predicament was as dangerous as it gets—he was seconds away from total annihilation!
Faced with this crisis, Lord Lucius Lightshade didn’t hesitate for a second. He flared his wings and shot forward like a man possessed—he knew better than anyone that if he didn’t block the attack, nobody else stood a chance!
“Anyone who wants to touch Ryan Ling has to get through me first!” Lord Lucius Lightshade bellowed, charging straight in front of Ryan without a shred of hesitation. He threw up his hand to block, and instantly his Immortal Lord aura erupted in a wild torrent, wrapping Ryan inside and out. It was obvious—Lightshade was going all‑in to protect Ryan!
But pulling a stunt like this was basically suicide. He was funneling all his power into shielding Ryan, leaving himself totally exposed!
“You traitor! Dizan Earthrend treated you so well, and you just turn your back on him like it’s nothing? You’re cold to the bone!” a voice thundered from the void. Ryan saw it all and his heart was in knots—the newcomer was a top‑tier Immortal Lord, and that alone was enough to make him nervous. But before the guy even finished, another voice immediately chimed in!
“Damn right! You filthy mutt, absolutely despicable—betraying your own master like that, you’re the lowest of the low! You dog, you even dare block our Heaven‑Earth Sect Supreme Elders? You must have a death wish!”
“Don’t waste any more breath on him. Guys like this aren’t worth the time. Kill him—just do it, kill!”
......
At the eye of the storm, Ryan Ling was almost dumbstruck by the chaos. His mind was spinning out of control—he was surrounded by Immortal Lords, one after another, all insanely strong. There were at least seven or eight of them! Anyone seeing this would be left speechless, maybe even on the verge of a breakdown!
“Lucius Lightshade, don’t hesitate—run for it! You alone can’t possibly take them all!” Ryan shouted at the top of his lungs. He knew if Lightshade stuck around, he’d be dead for sure. There was no way he could stand up to all those combined heavyweights!
