A Thousand Cuts and Skinning an Earth Immortal Alive
Ryan Ling didn’t have this kind of power before, but right now he’s absolutely capable of killing them!
And it’s not just him—Primeval Heavenwood and Joanna Long beside him have both reached full power. This is the perfect moment for a total reversal. If not now, then when?
"Kill!" Ryan roared, and in an instant, the nearest few True Immortals were knocked down by him!
"Wh-what the hell?" Shawn Xiao snapped out of his "dream" state, completely dumbfounded. He clearly hadn’t expected Ryan to suddenly strike, and the whole situation flipped 180 degrees in a blink—something was seriously off!
"Go absolutely nuts and kill them all!" Joanna Long was going wild too—her strength was almost at Celia Xiao’s old level. With her counterattack, two True Immortals went down instantly.
And it wasn’t just those two—Primeval Heavenwood unleashed its terrifying techniques too. The secret of Heavenwood was top-level classified, but now everyone here had seen it, so obviously none of them could be allowed to leave!
In no time, nearly all the True Immortals around were locked down. Ryan’s moves were brutally ruthless—he didn’t show the slightest mercy. Every half-dead True Immortal got drained bone-dry by him; most of their power was sucked out, and with this blitz attack, they couldn’t put up any resistance. Seven or eight True Immortals were left as nothing but skin, and the stronger ones started to shrivel up, their bodies shrinking like balloons losing air!
"How—how is this even possible?" Now only Shawn Xiao and the Earth Immortal were left. The situation had flipped upside down in seconds, and he just couldn’t accept it. What was even worse—he’d been sealed by Ryan and couldn’t send out any message at all!
Meanwhile, outside, Ethan Xiao and Leon Long were already fighting, totally unable to worry about what was happening here. In their minds, with Shawn Xiao plus an Earth Immortal, taking care of Ryan and Joanna Long should’ve been a piece of cake—no need to even talk about it!
But reality turned out to be nothing like that!
"Break out!" The Earth Immortal realized how dire things were and didn’t hesitate—he charged at full speed toward a single point, and Shawn Xiao darted after him. Right now, saving their own skins was all that mattered; everything else was just noise.
But there was no way Ryan was letting them get away. He shouted, "Joanna, you handle Shawn Xiao—I’ll take care of the Earth Immortal. Today, we finish them both. No way can we let them escape!"
Ryan knew exactly what was at stake: first, they’d learned about Primeval Heavenwood, and second, the Earth Immortal was just too valuable. If Ryan could capture them, he might even have a shot at breaking into the Void Immortal Realm!
"Got it! That bastard Shawn Xiao is mine. Linglong suffered so horribly because of those two, I have to make things right for her!" Joanna Long didn’t hesitate for a second, yelling at the top of her lungs.
The two of them attacked at once. Ryan gathered all his strength and went straight for the Earth Immortal. If the Earth Immortal hadn’t already lost most of his power to Ryan’s draining, Ryan wouldn’t have dared to go for it. At peak Human Immortal, he could handle True Immortals, but Earth Immortal was still a stretch.
But now, the Earth Immortal was down to less than thirty percent strength—Ryan wasn’t about to let this big fish get away!
"Boom boom boom!"
Suddenly, wild thunder exploded all around the Earth Immortal, instantly sealing off every escape route!
"Kill!" The Earth Immortal charged straight at Ryan, fully committed—he wanted a showdown. Even though he’d lost a ton of power, he was still an Earth Immortal, and Ryan was just a Human Immortal!
A massive blast of Earth Immortal force crashed down on Ryan.
Ryan swallowed hard—no lie, blocking Earth Immortal force had him a little nervous. But now that things had reached this point, there was no way he was backing down!
He gathered every ounce of power he had and clashed head-on!
In a split second, another thunderous boom exploded overhead!
Two titanic forces collided, shaking the Xiao Family’s buildings so hard they nearly collapsed on the spot!
But unbelievably, this time Ryan held his ground—while the Earth Immortal was left trembling and even stumbled back a few steps!
"How—the hell is this possible?" The Earth Immortal broke out in a cold sweat, staring at Ryan in utter shock!
A Human Immortal forcing an Earth Immortal to back off—this was basically the biggest freak show in the whole Immortal Domain!
But right now, this freak show was happening for real!
"Heh, Earth Immortal, your strength isn’t all that impressive!" Ryan sneered, clearly not intimidated anymore.
"Damn you, brat! You really think I’m that easy to mess with? I’m an Earth Immortal, you know!" The Earth Immortal was getting desperate—he stomped the ground and roared, and in a flash, streams of Earth-Vein Energy surged into his body. Clearly, he was about to go all out.
