Right now, everyone was wildly excited—Harlan Yanro was obviously about to be finished for good. Honestly, nobody expected that a top-tier Heavenly Immortal would actually show signs of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man!
"Die!" Ryan Ling didn't hesitate—a wave of pure, crazed force blasted straight at Harlan Yanro!
In an instant, the Five Decays symptoms on Harlan Yanro got even worse—chunks of his skin started falling off, his flesh began to rot, and an overpowering stench spread everywhere, making people instinctively cover their noses and mouths.
Harlan Yanro just couldn't accept any of this, but what really blew his mind was that his own power was actually plummeting like crazy right now!
You have to realize, becoming a Heavenly Immortal was insanely hard for him—it took the Huangfu Family a thousand years of hoarding resources, and on top of that, he even humbled himself to Nine-Dragon Gate, willing to lower his own status, all just to make this breakthrough!
But now, the glory he was waiting for never showed up—instead, he got endless beatdowns. How could he possibly take that?!
"I don't believe it! I won't bow down, even if I die!" Harlan Yanro shouted at the top of his lungs. Even with his body rotting away, he went all out, gathering his last ounce of strength to launch a wild assault at Ryan Ling—even if it meant dying on this battlefield today!
Right now, Harlan Yanro was totally cornered, no way out. He was basically turning into a demon—there wasn't a trace of immortal aura left on him, just pure violence, madness, and killing intent pouring out like crazy!
And under all that insane energy, Harlan Yanro's power actually shot up again—this do-or-die battle had pushed his potential to the absolute max!
"Elder, should we make a move?" The Nine-Dragon Gate crew finally couldn't hold back anymore—every one of them had their fists clenched tight!
You have to realize, they're all Heavenly Immortals too. Watching Harlan Yanro, one of their own, fall into such disgrace and misery was unbearable for them. And no matter what, Harlan was now part of Nine-Dragon Gate—how could they just stand by and do nothing?
Hold on—since that kid’s already pushing his limits like crazy, let’s just watch a bit longer before making a move! The Nine-Dragon Gate elder was nervous, but he managed to keep his cool.
But even though he said he wanted to see Harlan Yanro’s potential, deep down he really just wanted to see how much more Ryan Ling had up his sleeve.
After he said that, nobody else spoke up—they just watched in silence.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two powers clashed again—one was a desperate, all-or-nothing force, the other was so mysterious you couldn't even tell where it came from!
But right after that string of wild explosions, something happened that nobody could believe!
Harlan Yanro's whole body suddenly exploded—his Heavenly Immortal aura inside and out pretty much vanished, and he'd taken so many punches it looked like he could snap in half!
I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Harlan Yanro shouted, his heart full of bitter unwillingness.
But Ryan Ling wasn't about to let him off—not for a second. All the Heavenly Immortal power in his body peaked, and except for the last four bones, he gathered every bit of it into his palm!
In that instant, a sky-shattering palm blasted out, aiming straight for Harlan Yanro's forehead!
No need to explain—if that palm landed, even if Harlan Yanro were made of steel, he'd explode in a heartbeat!
Today, you're doomed to die—nobody in heaven or earth can save you! Ryan Ling shouted, ready to finish Harlan Yanro for good.
Help me, help me... Harlan Yanro was scared out of his mind. He couldn't hold out any longer and was no match for Ryan Ling. He started calling out, pinning his hopes on Nine-Dragon Gate!
Right now, his only hope was for Nine-Dragon Gate to step in!
Back when Harlan Yanro invited Nine-Dragon Gate, it was just to have them as witnesses—he never thought they'd actually need to fight. But now things had changed. If they didn't step in, he was dead meat!
Harlan's desperate shouting finally worked—the Nine-Dragon Gate crew had already been itching to act. Now, seeing his last move fail, they were finally ready to jump in!
Young man, when you can spare someone, let them go. Why chase him down and force him to the bitter end?' The Nine-Dragon Gate elder called out, and in a flash, several Heavenly Immortals appeared around him!
Everyone was stunned by what they saw!
Nobody could believe what was happening. Everyone knew Harlan Yanro had invited some big-shot guests today—rumor had it there were Heavenly Immortals among them. But that was just gossip, and even if there were, people thought there'd only be one, tops.
But now, there were seven or eight Heavenly Immortals standing before the crowd, each one insanely strong—none of them weaker than Harlan Yanro. The most terrifying was the old man in the middle: his Heavenly Immortal power had reached the late stage, a level nobody had ever seen before. If he made a move, he could wipe out not just one Immortal-Domain City, but ten, without breaking a sweat.
Elder Ghosthide Zhang, save me! You have to save me! If you do, I'll serve you forever—I'll be your slave, anything you want!' Harlan Yanro was totally panicked; nobody wants to die!
Don't worry—since Nine-Dragon Gate has chosen to support you, I won't let you die.' Elder Ghosthide smiled slightly, then turned to Ryan Ling: 'Kid, your strength is impressive and your potential is huge, but you'd better quit while you're ahead. Harlan Yanro is off-limits!
Yeah, let me go! Let me go! Harlan Yanro screamed as soon as he heard those words.
Lydia Jin and Leon Long rushed over, clearly shaken—these newcomers had completely overturned the situation. With power like theirs, everyone else had no choice but to back off!
So, what? You want to spar with us?' Elder Ghosthide smiled, watching Ryan Ling refuse to back down. He clenched his fist, genuinely surprised that even with so many Heavenly Immortals behind him, they still couldn't crush Ryan!
Ryan, don't be reckless—just let it go!
That's right—Nine-Dragon Gate is way out of our league!
...
Lydia Jin and Leon Long called out anxiously, their voices full of tension.
Hear that? Your friends are right. Taking on us is a really bad idea!' Ghosthide sneered, his eyes full of contempt.
Let me go, let me go! I'm with Nine-Dragon Gate—can you really afford to mess with us? Damn it, everything you did to me today, I'll make you pay back double!' With Nine-Dragon Gate backing him, Harlan Yanro was cocky again.
Ryan Ling clenched his fists. He knew he couldn't handle Nine-Dragon Gate at his current level, but he couldn't accept letting things go. Most importantly, Harlan Yanro was insanely vengeful—if Ryan spared him now, it would mean huge trouble later!
Plus, he'd made a deal with the Ghost Warband from the Heavenly Immortal Burial Ground—if he didn't use their power today, it would be way harder to borrow it in the future!
With all that in mind, Ryan Ling suddenly made up his mind. He'd already fought this far—justice for himself and all the innocent people was just one step away. Everyone had been so pumped, but now that Harlan Yanro had Nine-Dragon Gate backing him, a lot of them looked hopeless.
Ryan Ling wasn't about to let his plan fall apart—he'd already shattered the sky, so he might as well go all the way!
You bastard—letting you go today, no matter who begs for you, won't work. You're doomed!' Ryan Ling gritted his teeth and did something nobody thought possible: he started preparing to finish off Harlan Yanro.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were glued to him. Some people felt their hearts pounding—nobody could believe Ryan Ling was so stubborn and fierce. Just his guts alone made him unstoppable...
