Xu Wenwu's face was full of disbelief as his hands constantly tried to summon back his Ten Rings, his mouth shouting: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!!"
It was indeed impossible, as it was now impossible for Xu Wenwu to summon his Ten Rings back~
Because... your Ten Rings are great!
Ryan looked at Xu Wenwu and said, adding insult to injury:
"You know what, Xu Wenwu? In the final second before I erased your imprint from the Ten Rings, they were still calling your name!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wenwu's expression became distorted: "Kid, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. By provoking me, you're seeking death!!!"
With that, Xu Wenwu even ignored the fact that he had lost the Ten Rings and the gap between him and Ryan as an ordinary person, and charged at Ryan in a rage!
Looking at the crazed Xu Wenwu, Ryan calmly extended the middle finger of his right hand toward him.
This was not just a taunt, but a precursor to an attack!
The first ring of the Ten Rings on Ryan's right arm slid onto his middle finger and began to rotate:
"Calling me kid? Heh, didn't you say before that without the Ten Rings, what would I have to block with?"
"Old man, now that you don't have the Ten Rings, what are you going to use to block this strike of mine?"
As he spoke, Ryan lightly hooked his middle finger, tossing the rotating ring into the air, and then, as it fell, he flicked his thumb against it like flipping a coin!
Ding——————
After a crisp clanging sound, the iridescent iron ring erupted with power akin to a railgun, sweeping toward Xu Wenwu with a momentum even more violent than when Xu Wenwu had fired all Ten Rings at once!
And Xu Wenwu, who had lost the Ten Rings and the empowerment of their strength, was now just an ordinary man. Facing Ryan's Earth-shattering strike, he couldn't even manage to dodge and was directly torn to pieces by one of his own Ten Rings!
Seeing this, Ryan gave a cold laugh: "Heh, I blocked it, but you didn't seem to be able to~"
Having obtained the Ten Rings of this Universe and dealt with Xu Wenwu, it was naturally time for the next big guy.
Ryan didn't catch the iron ring that flew back after killing Xu Wenwu.
Instead, with a wave of his hand, he struck the returning ring forward again, using it to shred a series of Soul-Devouring Beasts pouncing toward him!
Then, through the path cleared by this ring, he leisurely walked step by step, as if on vacation, toward the Dweller in Darkness, which was still emitting painful shrieks as it was being tightened by another iridescent net of the Ten Rings.
Along the way, although countless Soul-Devouring Beasts tried to stop him from approaching the Dweller in Darkness by attacking and pouncing on him,
without exception, these fodder could not even get within five meters of him!
Because the other Ten Rings he had just 'nicked' were rotating and hovering around him, shredding any Soul-Devouring Beast that tried to get close!
It has to be said, the Ten Rings are really useful!
Ah no, they should be called the Twenty Rings now, and they're really useful!
Not a single Soul-Devouring Beast managed to get close to Ryan until he reached the Dweller in Darkness.
Ryan crossed his arms and looked at the Dweller in Darkness before him, which was already tied into a turtle shell bind by the iridescent net of the Ten Rings, and smiled:
"Tsk tsk, even after devouring the souls of an entire city of zombies, you're still so weak that I can't even work up any interest!"
The Dweller in Darkness looked at Ryan, who was as small as a bug but spoke with such terrifying arrogance, and said hatefully:
'That's only because you used trickery! Taking advantage of my lack of preparation, you knocked me back into the Dark Gate before I could fully re-emerge. If my true body were officially outside, you wouldn't necessarily have the advantage!'
'If I were allowed to devour all the souls on this Planet and return to my peak state, you would be nothing more than one of the billions of souls devoured within my body!'
Ryan wasn't scared at all upon hearing this, feeling only disdain:
"Heh, your skill isn't much, but your talk is bigger than mine. Anyone can brag; I could even say I've devoured the power of all the Spider-Men in the Multiverse and can blow up the Universe with one punch!"
"If this is all you have and you have no trump cards, then you can completely disappear from my Universe!"
With that, Ryan raised his right hand, and his five fingers began to slowly close.
At the same time, the light from the iridescent net formed by the Ten Rings on the Dweller in Darkness grew even brighter and began to tighten faster!
Originally, he had thought about pressuring the opponent to see if he could squeeze out some treasures like the Ten Rings.
But now it seemed that this Dweller in Darkness truly had no other trump cards...
And since he couldn't absorb the abilities of the Dweller in Darkness in its soul state, there was naturally no need to keep it around anymore.
Knowing that Ryan would not let it go, the Dweller in Darkness did not bother to beg for mercy. It simply stared at Ryan with its eight pairs of evil compound eyes and said venomously:
'Ryan Parker, this won't end so easily. I curse you; darkness will follow you forever, darkness will eventually find you, and your fate is to die at the hands of my kin!'
'I curse you, Ryan Par...'
Puchi————————
Before it could finish, Ryan had completely closed his five fingers!
The Dweller in Darkness, trapped in the iridescent net of the Ten Rings, was sliced into countless fragments, finally turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating into the air...
Ryan looked at the dissipating wisps of black smoke and put his hand to his ear: "I'm sorry, what did you just say? Could you speak up? I'm a bit hard of hearing and didn't catch that~"
Ryan didn't take the 'curse' from the Dweller in Darkness to heart at all.
It wasn't that the curse was fake or just a scare.
On the contrary, when the Dweller in Darkness spoke those curses, Ryan indeed felt a sensation as if his soul was being marked.
And in the dark, he also felt a faint, indistinct sense of being watched.
It was just that Ryan didn't care about being cursed.
Instead, Ryan even raised his hand and pointed a middle finger in the direction the sense of being watched was coming from.
Scumbag, I've already looked past life and death; if you're not satisfied, then come and fight me!
Ryan always believed that curses, conspiracies, and the like were nothing to be afraid of under his fists!
Especially after he had just been to the Zombie Universe and found that the Zombie Universe he had previously been wary of was only so-so, he had even less to worry about!
He could crush the Dweller in Darkness at will. Even if it had kin, it would just be crushing a few more, or a few dozen more, ants!
And if those guys really dared to come looking for him, Ryan wouldn't just kill the enemies who came next time!
Next time, he would emulate a famous scene of Omni-Man, charging into the home of the Dweller in Darkness and wiping out their entire nest!
With the death of the Dweller in Darkness, the Ten Rings that had previously trapped it flew back to Ryan's side, joining the other Ten Rings that were killing the Soul-Devouring Beasts to hover around him.
Looking at the still densely packed, countless Soul-Devouring Beast fodder in the sky, Ryan didn't plan to wait for them to charge and be slowly eliminated by the Ten Rings.
Snap——————
Ryan raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The Twenty Rings currently killing the Soul-Devouring Beasts immediately converged at his right hand and began to rotate in a circle even more crazily!
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh——————————
The hurricane generated just by the rotation of the Twenty Rings blew Ryan's hair into a Super Saiyan shape, every strand flowing elegantly!
As for those Soul-Devouring Beasts, they were shredded into ash by the hurricane generated by the Twenty Rings' rotation just by getting near Ryan!
Finally, as the glow of the Twenty Rings' rotation grew larger and larger, their individual forms could no longer be seen; instead, they looked more like a seven-colored Sun!
At this moment, the power concentrated by the Twenty Rings had far surpassed any high-tech weapon on Earth!
It was almost enough to destroy a moon!
According to Ryan's estimation, this power would have no problem at all destroying this vast Dark Space in one go!
Therefore, Ryan did not let the Twenty Rings continue to gather power, but instead threw the 'seven-colored Sun' in his hand into the air!
Without Ryan to stabilize this small Sun's majestic energy, it was no surprise that an accident happened.
It exploded!
