The Decisive Battle With the Northslay Gang Begins

The sudden turn of events sent chills down everyone’s spine. Ever since Demon-Dragon City was founded, nothing this insane had ever happened—a joint assault by the city’s five top apex beings, and they still couldn’t beat a single Golden Immortal at great-circle perfection. It was flat-out unbelievable.

Right now, Count Drake was the most helpless—and the most miserable. He just couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Even when the Count’s Eighteen Immortal Enforcers failed earlier, he hadn’t panicked at all. But now, for him, the nightmare was real: Demon-Dragon City’s top dog had joined the fight, and somehow ended up even worse off than his own strike force. He was barely holding on, forced to watch his four sworn brothers teeter on the edge of death. Utter despair filled his heart, and he couldn’t help but shout.

"I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! Give me a way out—I’ll hand over all of Demon-Dragon City, I swear!"

"It doesn’t matter who you call for help today—none of it will work. You’re dead, period!" Ryan Ling gave a faint smile, eyes brimming with contempt. He didn’t hesitate for a second and struck at once. He had to move fast: the other four Demon Dragons were already taken down, their Da Luo Golden Immortal qi stored inside him. Now he just needed to finish off the Count, and his reserves would be even greater!

Ryan knew perfectly well: his power was already at the terrifying peak of Golden Immortal great-circle perfection—just one step away from Da Luo Golden Immortal. That step was all he needed to consider. He’d already planned it out: once he broke into Da Luo, he’d start prepping for his ascent to the true Immortal World. And right now, everything was falling into place. All this Da Luo qi? No way he’d let it go to waste—he’d absorb every drop. In fact, he needed even more of this kind of fuel. For example, the Northslay Gang squad still hiding inside the Count’s Manor—their manpower would give his breakthrough a massive boost!

After all, they came from the Immortal World—their Da Luo Golden Immortal level was way higher than the average. Ryan could already sense their numbers were even greater than he’d imagined. If he could wipe them all out and devour every last one, he might just rocket straight into Da Luo Golden Immortal in no time!

But for now, he didn’t need to rush things. First, he’d wipe out these guys—then deal with the rest!

And the moment Ryan finished speaking, he didn’t hesitate—he started crazily devouring the qi of the remaining four Demon Dragons. Their flesh, blood, and endless essence were all sucked into his body in an instant. His body began to change nonstop, his Golden Immortal qi swelling to the max. But for his breakthrough to Da Luo, it was still nowhere near enough.

Compared to others, Ryan’s foundation was basically an endless ocean—he needed way more energy than anyone else, so much it was almost infinite. These four Demon Dragons? To him, they were just a river feeding his sea. He’d need to stockpile at least a hundred more rivers like this before it would really make a dent!

"You—you bastard! You actually killed my brothers! I will never let you off, never!" At this point, Count Drake was beyond furious. Faced with this crushing defeat, he didn’t care about anything anymore—whatever it took to kill Ryan, he was willing to pay.

So right after he finished shouting, Count Drake yelled again: "Friends of the Count’s Manor! If you still won’t help me now, everything you hoped for will end up as nothing but a dream. But if you’re willing to help, I’ll give you anything you want—anything! Isn’t that enough?"

At this point, Count Drake was completely cornered—he’d hit rock bottom. He didn’t care who it was; if someone could save his life, he’d even be willing to be their dog.

And just as Count Drake finished speaking, several powerful auras started surging inside the Count’s Manor in Demon-Dragon City. These people knew better than anyone: if the Count died, their Demonic World foothold was finished, and any other benefits would vanish into thin air—there’d be no point in negotiating further!

Ryan was waiting too. He knew exactly who these people were—the Northslay Gang from the Immortal World. Not only did they have a grudge against him, they’d come to the Demonic World with one goal: to take his life. Honestly, Ryan hoped they’d attack soon. The more they threw at him, the richer his Da Luo Golden Immortal breakthrough would be!

Boom!

Boom!

......

In an instant, several forces finally burst out. Ryan was surrounded from all directions—the Northslay Gang’s methods were clearly something else, a whole level above the Count’s Manor troops. No surprise, since they were from the Immortal World!

But Ryan didn’t hesitate for a second—his power swept out like crazy, holding nothing back. His Golden Immortal qi surged, instantly flooding a thousand miles around him.

"Damn kid, it’s only been a few days and you’ve gotten this strong? Unreal! But no matter how tough you are, you’re not escaping our killing array today!" Seeing Ryan unleash endless power to fight back, the high-and-mighty Northslay Gang experts didn’t hold back—shouts rang out on all sides.

As they shouted, multiple forces collided head-on with Ryan’s Golden Immortal power. Thunderous booms erupted—everything nearby seemed to explode, not just Demon-Dragon City but the whole world felt like it was collapsing. The battle had drawn the entire city and even top experts from the surrounding Demonic World. But the impact was so insane that all the spectators instantly retreated—no one dared linger. As they fled, the ground sank, flames swept across ten thousand miles, and the scene was so mind-blowing that even the oldest, most experienced elders fainted from shock!

"Ryan—Ryan..." Right now, Lady Melody and the rest were on edge, while the Jennie Family women huddled together, nerves stretched to the breaking point. Just seeing the battle was enough to terrify them half to death—being in the middle of it was unthinkable!

But right at the heart of the explosion, Ryan actually held firm—he took all the pressure head-on, and his power kept burning hotter. In a flash, he even dragged Count Drake straight to his side. The Count had guts, but this sudden shock shattered his balance, mind, and spirit. Worse, Ryan’s power started eating away at his body bit by bit!

The scene was flat-out unbelievable!

"Save me—save me!" Count Drake screamed, but no one could help him now. He’d lost every chance to survive. In an instant, Ryan twisted his neck—done. The Count’s entire essence was devoured, leaving everyone stunned. Ryan’s methods were simply off the charts!

"How is this guy so strong?" The Northslay Gang members were dumbstruck, eyes wide, unable to believe what they were seeing!

"I’m done talking. After I wipe out the Count’s Manor, you Northslay Gang are next. You Immortal World big shots, teaming up with the Demonic World? Just for that, you’ll be despised wherever you run!" Ryan swept his gaze across them, killing intent surging—his presence was absolutely unstoppable!

"You little punk, you think you’re invincible? Today I’ll show you the Northslay Gang’s true power—bring out the Primordial Immortal Hammer!" One of the Northslay Gang experts shouted, and instantly a gigantic glazed-gold hammer appeared before everyone...
