Chapter 779: Vultures (2/2)

Ryan needed to die!

Were they doing this out of righteousness?

Pfft, as if.

The wealth of a Mid Minor Circulation Immortal King, new recruits from a destroyed Sect, and the wealth of a destroyed Sect were what motivated them. The Icy Rapier Sect would be torn apart, and its remains would be shared among the warring parties.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Several explosions appeared in the sky as an apocalyptic fight broke out.

This was not tempering.

This was an execution!

Could Ryan win against twelve other Sect Masters on his level?

If he managed to comprehend several new Laws, maybe.

However, comprehension took time, and Ryan didn't have any time right now. All the Sect Masters jumped on him like vultures that saw a fresh carcass.

BANG!

One of the Sect Masters exploded as an attack from Ryan caught him unprepared. The poor Sect Master was sure that Ryan wouldn't go through with this attack since he would be hit by several others as a result.

Sadly for him, Ryan knew that he would die today, and he wanted to kill the ones that he disliked the most. This one Sect Master had gone against Ryan at several intervals, frustrating him to no end.

After the Sect Master died, Ryan smiled peacefully. 'I've avenged you, Samantha. I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you.'

BOOOOOOM!

Then, all the gathered attacks of the other Sect Masters hit Ryan, turning him into dust.

Ryan was dead.

He died a free man, one of the very few that managed to comprehend the Law of Freedom.

The Sect Masters grinned viciously. So many new resources were waiting for them! Even more…

The Sect Masters glanced at the icy corpse of the other dead Sect Master.

Surprisingly, a second Sect had appeared that would be ”redistributed” amongst the current Sects. The poor Sect of the dead Sect Master couldn't possibly defend themselves against the outside world, could it? No, the Sect Alliance had to fulfill its sacred duty and honor the dead Sect Master's Sect.

What was the best way to honor the Sect? To protect the disciples, of course! The Sect's disciples would find home and solace in other Sects as they took all their belongings with them. The other Sects would graciously accept the refugees of that Sect.

Silence returned again.

”One of our brothers has died,” one of the Sect Masters said with a tragic tone. ”I will honor his death by taking care of his disciples. He has always been a close friend of mine, so I implore you that you will let me take care of this burden. It's the least I can do.”

”I understand you, brother,” another Sect Master said. ”He has also been one of my closest friends. I will share this burden with you.”

The first Sect Master sighed. ”Thank you, brother,” he said.

Then, the two of them left, leaving the others behind.

”Ryan has gone against my Sect and killed my disciple,” Liran said with rage. ”I will take the majority of his Sect.”

”No, he didn't,” a new voice suddenly appeared as everyone looked to the ground.

The eyes of the Sect Masters opened with shock as they saw Gravis.

He was still alive!?

”I'm still alive,” Gravis said.

How had Gravis survived?

His Life Ring!

Gravis weakened his body and created a new body with the majority of his power and put it into his Life Ring. Gravis knew that he couldn't possibly react to an attack from someone so much more powerful. So, he pre-emptively threw his Life Ring with his other body away.

Why?

Because Gravis didn't have any confidence left in Liran. Gravis was not about to trust Liran with his life. Any competent Sect Master would have been incredibly cautious if it involved a life of their disciple.

Was Liran a competent Sect Master?

That question didn't need an answer. Gravis' ”corpse” was the best answer.

”Your disciple is still alive, friend,” one of the Sect Masters shouted happily with a smile. ”The Icy Rapier Sect has not done any damage to your Sect. I'm sure you're happy about the survival of your disciple. Come, let's take care of the Icy Rapier Sect as equals. We are all in this together. We are an alliance. We are a family.”

”Yes, let's have a celebration when we return, Liran. Let's celebrate your disciple's survival!” another one shouted with a laugh.

Seeing that Gravis had survived, the other Sect Masters echoed this sentiment. Liran wouldn't gain a bigger share than the other Sect Masters now. After all, Gravis was still alive, was he not?

Liran looked with a complex expression at Gravis.

Gravis could have stayed hidden, but he didn't.

Why?

Fuck Liran, that's why!
