Even If You Were an Emperor I Would Still Kill You

Ryan Ling knew exactly what was up—the Count’s Manor squad showing up now was basically a mini Northslay Gang. Sure, they weren’t the real Northslay Gang, but their strength was probably about sixty or seventy percent as scary. If this was the old Ryan, he’d be toast. But things were different now: he had that monstrous severed finger and the Da Luo-grade pearl loaded with supreme Golden Immortal aura. After three days of prep, he could break through to Golden Immortal at any moment, and once he did, these guys wouldn’t stand a chance no matter how tough they were. So right now, Ryan wasn’t panicking at all!

“Kid, maybe you’ve got crazy power and can kill Golden Immortals with Profound Immortal moves, but you’re still just one guy. And now I’ve got you trapped inside my kill array—do you really think you can escape?” The Count’s Manor young master grinned, eyes flashing with murderous intent.

As soon as the young master finished, the formation howled even louder. It was nuts—Ryan Ling was almost completely swallowed up, his body starting to rot inside and out. A Profound Immortal’s flesh just couldn’t handle this kind of insane slaughter power. If things kept going like this, Ryan was absolutely doomed!

Everyone in Stan City was freaking out. The attackers were way too elite, and almost all of them were Golden Immortal-level monsters. It looked impossible for Ryan Ling to hold out alone!

“Don’t panic! You’ve got to trust Ryan Ling. No matter how bad things get, he always pulls through. Plus, if you look closely, he hasn’t even been trying to fight back—he’s letting himself get trapped on purpose!” Lady Melody piped up, clearly knowing Ryan better than anyone. With his current strength, if he wanted to go all out, there’s no way he’d just sit there and get steamrolled. Even a Golden Immortal array couldn’t lock him down so easily!

After Lady Melody said that, everyone nearby widened their eyes. And sure enough, inside the array, Ryan Ling was doing exactly what she’d guessed—he wasn’t moving on purpose. First, he wanted to test the enemy’s tricks, since the array had a real Northslay Gang vibe, making it worth probing. But more importantly, Ryan needed all their firepower focused on him so Stan City’s people would stay safe!

But Ryan wasn’t just being reckless—he was ready to break through to Golden Immortal at any second!

“Brothers, quit talking to him. If he won’t hand over the treasure, let’s just kill him first! This punk is Stan City’s last hope—take him out, then wipe out the whole city!” The Count’s Manor young master smirked to himself, sure he had Ryan locked down with no way out, and started shouting even crazier orders!

The array’s power ramped up even more, trapping Ryan Ling completely. It looked like his life force was snuffed out for good!

Even though Lady Melody’s words gave people a bit of hope, seeing this scene, most of Stan City’s demons were still worried. Sure, they were demons and Ryan was human, but after spending so much time together these past few days, they already saw him as family!

So there was no way anyone could just stand by and watch Ryan Ling die!

But right at the most dangerous moment, a deafening boom erupted around Ryan Ling. Everything nearby seemed to explode, and all the array’s killing power was swept away in an instant!

Stan City went wild—everyone was shaken to the core!

Even the Count’s Manor young master was stunned, but he’d seen plenty before and immediately yelled, “Don’t freak out! This is just the kid’s last gasp—he’s only a Profound Immortal, there’s no way he escapes our kill array. Brothers, tighten up the formation and grind him to dust!”

“Got it!”

“Roger!”

“Understood!”

......

At this point, the Count’s Manor experts all shouted their battle cries. Even though Ryan Ling had suddenly unleashed some serious power, these guys had survived plenty of deadly fights—they weren’t scared!

All the array casters poured in even more power—a tidal wave of killing intent crashed out, way stronger than before. The Count’s Manor young master took command, everyone squeezed out every last drop of force, and Ryan Ling’s life force—just starting to recover—was snuffed out again almost instantly!

“Whoa, these guys are insane! Only the Count’s Manor could pull off something this brutal. Can Ryan Ling really hold out?”

“Don’t worry, he’ll make it—he always does!”

“Is it just me, or does this Count’s Manor array look a lot like the Northslay Gang’s stuff from the Immortal World?”

......

The crowd at the bottom was buzzing—everyone was worried sick!

“Alright, time’s up! Everyone, on my mark—grind this punk to bits!” The Count’s Manor young master shouted, totally done with Ryan Ling and ready to finish him off.

The kill array unleashed its strongest attack yet—absolutely brutal. Fire exploded all around Ryan Ling, like everything was about to get burned to ash!

But right at the most dangerous moment, Ryan Ling’s body suddenly changed—an overwhelming wave of Golden Immortal qi burst out of him. It was so intense it blew past everything else: buildings, roads, the whole city turned gold, and even the sky went golden! It was like the entire world had just leveled up to Golden Immortal, and everyone—Count’s Manor experts included—was totally floored!

And then, even crazier—giant golden thunderclouds rolled over all of Stan City, covering hundreds of kilometers. The thunder was deafening, demons wailed, and it felt like Immortal World and Demonic World were clashing right overhead. The scene was so wild, not even most Da Luo Golden Immortal breakthroughs were this intense!

“You seriously think you can stop me with this weak sauce? Dream on!” Ryan Ling’s voice boomed out over Stan City, thunder crashing everywhere!

In a flash, Ryan Ling sucked up all those endless thunderclouds. The clouds were packed with the strongest essence between heaven and earth—straight from the Demonic World. Sure, it was just a notch below the Immortal World, but way more hardcore than the Immortal Domain World. The Immortal Domain World was just a Da Luo Golden Immortal’s playroom, honestly nothing special. But the Demonic World was a whole different beast, overflowing with power. For Ryan’s Golden Immortal breakthrough, it was the perfect place!

“How is this even possible?! Who the hell are you?” The Count’s Manor young master was totally dumbfounded, finally starting to doubt Ryan Ling’s identity.

“I’m your ancestor! You use the Count’s Manor name to rob people and threaten to wipe out a whole city—what do you think your punishment should be? Today I’m acting on behalf of Heaven and wiping you out!” Ryan Ling didn’t hesitate for a second. His Golden Immortal power was maxed out—he’d broken through to early Golden Immortal, and he wasn’t rushing things. This realm was no joke, and he knew he had to make it rock solid if he wanted to charge into the Immortal World later. No mistakes allowed, or it’d mess up his whole future!

“You dare kill me? Do you even know who I am?!” The Count’s Manor young master screamed, totally losing it.

“Even if you were an emperor, you’d still have to die!” Ryan Ling didn’t hesitate for a second...
