"You bastard, I’m going to kill you!" Chase Zhang might have some skills, but Ryan Ling slammed him straight through the wood-element barrier. Meanwhile, Ryan and Vivian Huo’s wild scuffle was almost over, but Vivian still couldn’t let go—she kept trying to cling to Ryan, both arms wrapped around him in a death grip, her face a mess of desperate pleading. Clearly, she’d gotten hooked on Ryan’s fierce, unstoppable style.
"You animal, let go of Vivian already!" Chase Zhang had been obsessed with Vivian for years, and seeing this scene unfold was enough to make him cough up blood from rage.
Ryan wasn’t the one refusing to let go—Vivian was the one clinging to him on purpose, refusing to release her grip. Ryan, not wanting to make a scene, simply shoved Vivian aside.
Inside Ryan’s body, the Ghost Elder suddenly spotted Ryan about to toss Vivian away and immediately piped up: "Don’t throw away such a beauty! Collect her—she might come in handy later!"
Ryan shrugged, "Fine, whatever, I’ll listen to you!" He had to admit, tossing Vivian would be a waste, so he decisively sealed her into the Demon-Snaring Bowl. That made three beauties inside now: Chiharu Mitsui, Fiona Shangguan, and the freshly added Vivian Huo.
The Ghost Elder cackled, "Ha! It’s like Lu Bu and the Three Beauties—maybe they’ll help you power up even more!" He was clearly loving this.
"You beast, I’ll kill you!" Chase Zhang was about to explode. The beauty he’d loved for years not only got snatched up by Ryan, but now she was sealed away just like that. His heart felt like it was getting stabbed, and he threw a wild punch straight at Ryan.
Ryan didn’t even bother dodging. Looks like today’s ‘punishment’ for Vivian Huo wasn’t enough to make these snobby Hong Kong nobles bow their heads.
Besides, he’d already switched faces—doing something a little out of character was no big deal. Haizhou and all of Jiangdong had seen too many good girls ruined by these people. What Ryan did was just collecting a little interest.
Once his cultivation was complete, clans like the Huo Family that bullied and ruined people would be uprooted to the last branch.
Ryan waved his hand lightly, instantly dissolving Chase Zhang’s punch. Chase staggered backward, then collapsed straight onto the floor.
"I thought you had some tricks, but you’re just trash." Ryan shook his head, scooped up the battered young mother, and started heading out.
Everyone watching looked pale as ghosts. This ‘lunatic’ didn’t just publicly humiliate Vivian Huo—he’d also crushed Chase Zhang, one of Hong Kong’s top young masters. The crowd’s faces were all stretched tight as drums as Ryan swaggered out; the arrogant Hong Kong nobles could only hold their breath and swallow their pride.
"Grab him! If we don’t tear this lunatic to pieces, what face do the Hong Kong nobles have left?" An older noble shouted furiously.
Ryan heard the shout, but instead of running, he just planted his feet and stood his ground.
"Hong Kong nobles? Heh!" Ryan gave a cold laugh. "Let’s see just how tough you guys really are. Come on, anyone with guts, step up! I’ll give you all a shot at killing me!"
Under Ryan’s mocking gaze, two Hong Kong noble youths rushed up. Clearly, they were both secretly in love with Vivian Huo, faces burning with righteous fury—like they wanted to eat Ryan alive.
"Kill him!" The two guys charged, fists swinging, about to slam into Ryan.
"Scram!" Ryan roared, and the two guys shot away like popped balloons, crashing to the ground in two sorry heaps.
"Trash! Anyone else?" Ryan blew out a breath, killing intent surging.
