"Father, Mother... your son is useless. I can't save you. I'm going ahead of you..." Ryan Ling was in total despair. Even the Ghost Elder inside him was completely stunned—at this moment, the Ghost-King Robe, Hell Furnace, and even the Primeval Heavenwood all seemed to lose their power, shrinking away in an instant. This blow was absolutely fatal—a complete annihilation for Ryan!
But right at this life-or-death moment, a mysterious force suddenly burst forth—smashing into Philip Qin’s back. For Philip, it was barely a tickle, but because the attack came out of nowhere, he actually staggered forward a step.
That deadly finishing blow veered off course at that exact instant—giving Ryan a gasp of breathing room.
And just then, a few voices suddenly shouted from down below.
"Boss, run!"
Ryan froze. The ones helping him weren’t random strangers—they were his sworn brothers: Jason Lin, Warren Yuan, Harvey “Million” Jin, and Frank Qin. No one knew when they’d managed to sneak up behind Philip Qin, but even though their power was tiny, they’d come through for Ryan at the most critical moment.
"Ryan, use this chance to run! If you don’t, you’re dead for sure!" Inside, the Ghost Elder finally let out a breath—he’d clearly been scared out of his wits just now.
Ryan snapped out of it and hurriedly started to run.
But just as he took his first step, Philip Qin’s voice roared out: "You four ants dare stand in my way? Die!"
A massive wave of force swept straight toward the four of them—a force that, for Jason and the others, was obviously deadly.
In the blink of an eye, Ryan heard someone screaming in agony.
Using his brothers’ lives just to buy time for his own escape?
Ryan couldn’t do it!
Right then, Ryan just stopped in his tracks—no hesitation, no second thoughts. He charged straight at Philip Qin. In that instant, his eyes said it all: "If I go down, you’re coming with me."
“Philip Qin, I’m taking you with me!” In a flash, Ryan unleashed every ounce of power he had. All his treasures lit up at once—even the Ghost Elder threw himself into the fight. He knew Ryan too well: for him, loyalty was everything.
Ryan would rather die himself than let his friends and family die for him!
Parents or brothers—for Ryan, they’re equally important!
Suddenly, there was a deafening boom—Philip Qin, with all his overwhelming power, actually got knocked back several steps by Ryan’s charge.
"Boss!"
"Master!"
