But right at that critical moment—when everyone thought Ryan Ling was about to die—a scene unfolded that nobody could believe. Suddenly, an unimaginably violent aura erupted from Ryan, a force that could sweep away everything in its path, utterly mismatched with his mere Profound Immortal cultivation!
“Wh-what the hell is going on?” The crowd was stunned, including all those so-called Tiger Clan members. Instinctively, they retreated, many of them trembling uncontrollably—the fear was palpable!
It wasn’t just them—even that Golden Immortal great-perfection expert, who thought he had everything under control, was frozen in shock. For a split second, he tried to shout, but to his utter horror, he couldn’t make a sound! His whole body felt bound, his throat squeezed as if by invisible hands—the scene was simply unbelievable!
At that moment, the guy’s eyes were locked onto Ryan, filled with indescribable shock!
“You think you can touch her?” Ryan didn’t waste a thought—his eyes swept over, and the guy was instantly sent flying, crashing into a nearby building, which collapsed in an instant!
And the moment he hit the ground, all his Golden Immortal qi vanished without a trace, as if Ryan had stripped it away completely!
"Are you alright?" Ryan turned to Lily.
Lily quickly shook her head, a hint of delight in her voice: "I’m fine, I’m totally fine!"
Standing before Ryan, Lily reverted to her happy little-girl self, her heart overflowing with joy.
“I don’t believe it—I just don’t!” The Golden Immortal who’d just been flung away struggled to his feet, glaring at Ryan, Lily, and the slowly rising Kwan Family members, his rage boiling over!
Back in the day, the Kwan Family was the number one clan in Barbarian City, while the Tiger Clan was just third-rate—barely worth mentioning in comparison. But over the years, they schemed and ganged up, pulling every dirty trick they could. Now, after all that effort, they were about to wipe out the Kwans. Everything was in their grasp, just waiting for the final blow. The Kwans had no strength left to resist. But who could’ve guessed that at the last second, a wild card would jump in and turn the whole situation upside down!
Of course, that Golden Immortal great-perfection expert wasn’t about to give up. If he could destroy the Kwan Family, it would be a huge win for him—not only would he rake in a fortune, he’d earn the chance to break into the Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm, maybe even go higher in the future. No matter how tough things got, there was no way he’d quit now!
“The mighty Tiger Clan will never just roll over! Tonight, anyone who tries to block us—no matter who—if you get in my way, you die, you hear me?!” The guy roared, dragging himself up from the ground. His Golden Immortal power exploded, blanketing the entire street in an instant. The spectacle was jaw-dropping!
“Damn, this guy’s Golden Immortal power is insane. He’s a real monster!”
“No kidding, he’s one of the Tiger Clan’s strongest young masters. He’s their best shot at breaking into the Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm!”
“With this burst of Golden Immortal power, I bet he ranks in the top five in all of Barbarian City!”
......
The moment he unleashed that fierce Golden Immortal power, the crowd couldn’t help but gasp—clearly, they were impressed by his strength!
But to Ryan, all of this was laughably weak. Back when he hit Golden Immortal great perfection, his qi could cover an entire city—that was real power. What this guy was showing off was so weak, it was almost embarrassing to mention!
“Master!” Lily looked at Ryan, clearly unsure just how strong he really was. Her eyes held a trace of worry—after all, the Tiger expert’s Golden Immortal power was several times stronger than before, and he was in full berserk mode. To anyone watching, this guy was not someone you wanted to mess with!
"Don’t worry!" Ryan smiled coldly, not even taking the guy seriously. As the Tiger master charged at him, Ryan didn’t budge an inch. The crowd thought he’d given up and watched, tense, expecting him to be slaughtered.
But then—out of nowhere—Ryan’s gaze snapped to the Tiger expert. Instantly, a loud crack rang out, like bones shattering. The Golden Immortal’s face twisted sideways. Before anyone could process it, bloody cracks spiderwebbed across his body, as if he’d been hacked to pieces by invisible blades!
“Who… who are you?” The Golden Immortal great-perfection expert was stunned. He tried to speak, but before he could get the words out—BOOM!—a thunderous explosion echoed!
His once-mighty Golden Immortal body detonated, leaving nothing behind but a pile of ash!
Everyone around was stunned. The power Ryan unleashed was off the charts—utterly unbelievable. Nobody could’ve imagined a mere Profound Immortal could wipe out a Golden Immortal great-perfection master with nothing but a glance!
"Alright, it’s over. Everyone can go home now!" Ryan smiled, pulling Lily into his arms. Then he told the old matriarch, "Shut the gates. I doubt anyone will dare come knocking for a while. Oh, and you should hang a sign at the door."
“Wh-what kind of sign?” The old lady swallowed hard.
“Break in again and I’ll wipe out your whole clan!” Ryan said bluntly.

Barbarian City might have experts, but with Ryan’s current power, he wasn’t worried at all. Tonight, he was determined to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm. If he succeeded, even if Da Luo Golden Immortals showed up, he wouldn’t flinch—he’d just butcher them all!
Plus, Ryan could feel that his recovered right hand hadn’t even unleashed its true power yet. If he fully activated it, breaking through to Da Luo Golden Immortal would be no problem. Once he hit Da Luo, even Primordial Immortals wouldn’t be able to stop him. In this tiny Barbarian City, no one could stand in his way!
"Understood!" The old matriarch didn’t hesitate—she did exactly as Ryan said!
"Thank you, Master!" Lily exclaimed, grateful to Ryan for saving her and defeating the Tiger Clan.
"No need for thanks between us. Tonight, you’re cultivating with me—I’m going to break through to Golden Immortal!" Ryan said bluntly.
"Okay!" Lily nodded shyly, instantly understanding Ryan meant dual cultivation. Of course she was happy—cultivating with Ryan was a huge boost for her too!
"Shut the gates!" the old matriarch ordered, and with a thunderous boom, the Kwan Family’s doors slammed shut!
But what happened at the Kwan gates spread like wildfire through the city’s streets. Everyone was talking about the terrifying power in Ryan’s final stare. News of it reached the Tiger Clan, and soon the whole family was gathered, plotting their response!
The Tiger Clan might be one of Barbarian City’s ten major families, but they were still newcomers—compared to the old houses, they were weaker. Now, faced with this situation, they couldn’t afford to let their guard down!
“Damn it, who the hell is this guy? How can he be so strong?”
“He’s definitely not normal, but if he thinks he can take on our whole clan by himself, he’s dreaming! Didn’t he say anyone who breaks into the Kwan estate gets wiped out? Screw it, tonight we’ll storm the Kwans and see how he handles our full assault!”
“Yeah, I’m pissed just thinking about it! That brat’s ‘wipe out your whole clan’ threat was aimed right at us. No way he can beat our entire family! Soon as we’re assembled, all our Da Luo Golden Immortals will form up and crush the Kwans once and for all…"
