Seeing this scene, almost everyone around was utterly stunned. Lily and the women of the Kwan Family stared wide-eyed, while the Tiger Clan people were so terrified they couldn’t utter a word, all shrinking into a corner, shivering uncontrollably. Clearly, Ryan Ling’s move was way too ruthless—no one could believe it. What he’d just done was basically challenging the highest powers in all of Barbarian City—hell, he was taking on the whole city! Even back when the Kwan Family was the number one house in Barbarian City, they never dared pull something like this!
Right then, the Qin Family of Jinling people on the side went wild like a bunch of unleashed stallions, charging at Ryan in a frenzy. After all, Ryan had just killed their patriarch—no matter what, they had to avenge him!
But Ryan didn’t hesitate for a second. His entire body erupted with Golden Immortal qi, the power insanely fierce—like a human meat grinder, he tore into the Qin Family of Jinling crowd. They were no match for him at all; one after another, they exploded, and in just a few blinks, hundreds, maybe thousands, were slaughtered by Ryan!
Nobody could believe it. In just a few eye blinks, the Qin Family of Jinling—ranked top four in all Barbarian City—got wiped out by Ryan. It was so insane, people’s minds just broke.
At that moment, the Tiger Clan folks nearby were so scared they were shaking uncontrollably, not daring to say a word.
“This guy—he’s a total lunatic!” Liana Kwan, the Kwan Family's ancestral matriarch, looked like she was about to have a heart attack. She’d never seen anything like this; it was just off-the-charts crazy.
Even Lily was a bit shocked—tonight, Ryan was acting so wild, nobody could figure him out!
But Ryan knew better than anyone—he hadn’t wanted to go this high-profile, but if he didn’t, his power would never break through naturally. Only in this kind of crazy battle, even in outright slaughter, could Ryan’s personal strength fully extend itself. And right now, all this Da Luo Golden Immortal qi was just perfect for his own use.
In an instant, he sucked up all the Qin Family of Jinling’s top experts’ auras in one go. He was riding high, power surging from early Golden Immortal straight to late Golden Immortal. Of course, it wasn’t like he did it on purpose—it was the wild influx of qi inside him that pushed him up to this level!
Compared to just now when he broke through to Golden Immortal, his power had shot up by billions of times!
And that power boost? You could literally see it with the naked eye!
“How the hell is this guy’s strength growing so fast? He’s straight-up a demon!” The Tian Family’s patriarch saw it clearer than anyone, staring at Ryan in disbelief.
But at this point, Ryan was done with these people—no more talking, it was pointless. Without any hesitation, he shouted, “All experts of Barbarian City, listen up! This guy’s turned into a demon—everyone, kill him! Form the slaughter formation and wipe him out!”
The Tian patriarch’s loud command instantly got every top-level fighter’s attention. In everyone’s eyes, Ryan was now public enemy number one. All the Da Luo Golden Immortals around joined forces—some were even half-step Primordial Immortal level. Together, their power was nothing to sneeze at!
Ryan knew this fight was inevitable. Ever since the showdown with the Tiger Clan, the city’s elites had marked him as their enemy—no chance of a truce. Plus, Ryan wanted to use this battle to pave the way for his breakthrough to Da Luo Golden Immortal.
Back in the Demonic World, Ryan had already reached half-step Da Luo Golden Immortal. Now, after days in the Immortal World and recovering his lost hand, plus all this Da Luo Golden Immortal qi flying around, he could totally use it all for his breakthrough!
This was the thing he’d never finished in the Demonic World—and tonight, he was gonna make it happen!
And since things had already blown up this big, he might as well go all the way. It was also about justice for the Kwan Family—even though Liana Kwan, the ancestral matriarch, was scared out of her wits, she was still insanely pumped to see justice and revenge for her clan. But Ryan’s moves were just too shocking—one man taking on the whole city? That took insane guts and determination!
“Come on, let’s have an epic brawl!” Ryan wasn’t afraid at all. With the fierce fighting, the qi in his right hand was melting and fusing—even before, he’d only used about ten percent of its power, but now he’d unleashed at least thirty percent. If he broke through to Da Luo Golden Immortal, he figured he could tap into seventy percent!
“Kill!” The Tian patriarch didn’t hesitate. With a shout, over a hundred Da Luo Golden Immortals charged in—all top-tier, at their peak. Together, they formed an absolute-kill formation, flames raging inside like the furnace of the Supreme Elder. Any expert could tell—even a Primordial Immortal would be dead meat if they went in!
And besides the hundred Da Luo Golden Immortals in the kill formation, there was a thousand-man squad stationed all around. They were packing heavy firepower—those weapons were so intense, they could blast even a Da Luo Golden Immortal at great-perfection to bits. This group was obviously the second wave.
But outside those squads was one more group—the real ultimate force. Over a dozen half-step Primordial Immortals, led by the Tian Family’s old patriarch, were standing at the highest point, looking down on everything.
With these three forces pressing down, even though Ryan had just wiped out the Qin Family of Jinling in a flash, he seemed way too weak—after all, now he was up against a lineup this powerful. Unless he somehow jumped two levels at once and hit Primordial Immortal!
Right now, Lily and the whole Kwan Family were so tense it was unreal. But deep down, none of the women were truly afraid—they’d already come to see Ryan as a god. Especially Lily; her face was pure worship. She believed Ryan could totally hold out!
“You little punk, you’re way too cocky! You think you can avenge the Kwan Family all by yourself? Not a chance! Now I’ll show you the price of being arrogant—the Da Luo Golden Immortal kill formation, hit him! Melt that guy into slag!” The old Tian patriarch was going nuts, screaming at the top of his lungs.
In a flash, over a hundred top-tier Da Luo Golden Immortals finally made their move. These weren’t ordinary fighters—the power they unleashed was off the charts. Flames shot sky-high, fire blasted everywhere, and it felt like heaven and earth in Barbarian City were about to collapse. The scene was so intense, people’s scalps were tingling. All around Ryan, buildings, streets, walls—everything turned to smoke in seconds.
Ryan was smack in the deadliest center. Flames everywhere morphed into fire dragons, completely surrounding him. His whole body was burning—people could smell the charred flesh from blocks away.
“Come on, brothers! Burn this punk to ashes!” One of the Da Luo Golden Immortals roared like a maniac. Instantly, hundreds of flaming fire phoenixes swooped at Ryan, wrapping him up inside and out—no way to escape!
The power these hundred Da Luo Golden Immortals unleashed was just ridiculous. And with the fire formation burning up Golden Immortal qi, nobody could withstand it, no matter how strong they were!
“Master!” Lily’s heart was pounding so hard she could barely breathe!
But right at that critical moment, Ryan suddenly let out a roar that didn’t sound human. Waves of berserk Golden Immortal qi burst out like rampaging beasts, smashing through the cage. Instantly, all the fire phoenixes got blasted away, and the fire dragons dropped to the ground—kneeling!
