Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2549: 1406: Lord Showdown (Part 2)

The figure appearing behind the Black-armored Lord's corpse was, without question, Xiao Jing.
For someone like Xiao Jing, who possessed mastery over the Concealing Technique, infiltrating the spatial crevice of his adversary was an effortless feat.
Xiao Jing’s sudden arrival at the enemy's rear was the centerpiece of Leo Ray’s strategy. Upon recognizing the opponent’s use of the Concealing Technique, Leo Ray had already finalized all tactical preparations in silence.
“This... this is impossible! I have never witnessed anyone neutralizing the Concealing Technique!”
The Brown-robed Lord stared at the lifeless body mere inches away and then at Xiao Jing, who stood like the Grim Reaper. His complexion turned a ghostly white.
Having already developed a deep-seated fear of Leo Ray during the previous clash, the sight of the Black-armored Lord’s demise completely shattered his mental fortitude, leaving him paralyzed by dread.
“If this day had arrived sooner, I would never have permitted those who dared to strike the Lord to go unpunished.”
Xiao Jing gave a cold snort and, with a swift flick of his rapier, disemboweled the man instantly.
“It appears that whether we fight in the open or through an ambush, you are simply no match for me.”
Leo Ray surveyed the now-still spatial crevice and gave a slight nod, signaling Xiao Jing to return to his position.
As Xiao Jing withdrew, the fabric of space warped, ejecting the two corpses from the crevice back into reality. Without a spellcaster to maintain the pocket dimension, such a collapse was inevitable.
Observing that Leo Ray had crushed two lords and three Tier 6 experts with such overwhelming power, the allies in the cabin area erupted in celebration after their initial shock wore off.
Qunnie Young, in particular, had watched the entire exchange, her mind racing with frantic thoughts despite her joy.
The young male lord standing before her was clearly far more formidable than she had ever suspected!
“But where did those two powerful Tier 6 sisters come from? Who could have guessed such beauties were protecting him? Is that the source of his unwavering composure?”
A peculiar light flickered in Qunnie Young’s eyes, though she quickly masked her emotions.
On the opposite side of the field, another soul was consumed by terror: the Blue-robed Lord who had just revealed himself.
Even with the distance between him and Leo Ray, the fall of his two companions made it obvious that he was the next target.
Despite being a half-step Tier 6 with a combat talent, his primary strength lay in a unique skill. This ability allowed him to summon Water Element Demon Puppets of Tier 5 or lower and forcibly elevate them by one tier into a berserk state. Beyond using a Magical Scroll to summon these lackeys, he possessed no other significant combat options.
Essentially, he had reached his limit. With the battlefield currently balanced, he knew he would be unable to withstand a direct assault from Leo Ray.
Realizing the hopelessness of his situation, the Blue-robed Lord attempted a quiet retreat, only to be halted by the large hands of the Luxurious Clothes Lord, who had finally stepped forward.
The Luxurious Clothes Lord’s expression was grim, his grey eyes burning with a murderous intensity.
He had never anticipated that two talented half-step Tier 6 lords and three Tier 6 experts would fail so utterly against Leo Ray.
Now, the time had come for him to intervene personally.
“Do not worry, that brat has surely used up all his hidden cards. Our primary forces are still waiting in the shadows.”
The Luxurious Clothes Lord let out a cold sneer, his face twisting into a sinister mask as he whispered, “The time has come to slaughter these pathetic lords.”
Upon hearing this, the Blue-robed Lord’s eyes brightened, and he nodded fervently.
That boy must be carrying incredible treasures. Even if those two fools perished, killing him now means fewer people to divide the spoils with!
Fueled by greed and malice once more, the Blue-robed Lord was again enveloped in a murderous aura.
“Brother Chen, look over there, quickly!”
Qunnie Young immediately spotted the Luxurious Clothes Lord’s arrival and shouted a warning to Leo Ray.
“I see him. Just as I thought, someone was lurking in the darkness.”
Leo Ray narrowed his eyes slightly and gave a short nod.
Aware that Leo Ray and the others had detected him, the Luxurious Clothes Lord made no attempt to hide. He walked forward with an arrogant swagger, sneering, “Boy, are you prepared for death? I promise I will personally grind your bones to dust.”
“Stop your empty boasting and show us what you can actually do!”
Qunnie Young knit her brows and stepped forward with a defiant snort.
“Then allow me to show you the meaning of true despair.”
As the Luxurious Clothes Lord spoke those eerie words, the pools throughout the cabin area began to churn with violent waves. From the crashing water, a multitude of strangers exuding terrifying auras emerged one after another. They quickly surrounded the area, cutting off all escape.
There were over a hundred of these warriors, each radiating a dark energy and looking on with fearless confidence.
Judging by their pressure, at least twenty were Tier 6 experts, while the remainder were all at the senior Tier 5 level or higher.
In an instant, the air was filled with the glint of exotic blades, and the churning water reflected faces twisted with bloodlust.
Among them, the subordinates of the fallen Brown-robed and Black-armored Lords gnashed their teeth, desperate to rip Leo Ray apart.
They had followed their masters in spreading chaos and suffering throughout the Human Domain, and now, because of this single youth, their power had vanished like mist. Their rage was uncontrollable.
“This is...?!”
The sight caused Ethan Young, Qunnie Young, and their companions to gasp, their hearts plummeting into hopelessness.
Such a monstrous display of force was far beyond their ability to resist. The enemy could wipe them out with a mere thought.
“So they were hiding in the water. No wonder our search turned up nothing.”
Leo Ray’s eyes scanned the enemy ranks, assessing the warriors one by one.
He noticed many Water Element Mages and Grand Magicians among them; for such practitioners, hiding beneath the surface was a simple task.
“Brother Chen, what can we do?”
Qunnie Young’s face was pale with fright as she instinctively grabbed Leo Ray’s sleeve.
“Brother Chen, we have no choice but to fight to the end! Meeting someone like you has made it all worth it, even if I die here!”
Ethan Young let out a fierce roar, bracing himself for a final stand.
“Is this truly the end for you? It seems I really did give you too much credit.”
Seeing the Young siblings trapped in despair, the Luxurious Clothes Lord mocked them. He turned his gaze toward the silent Leo Ray. “Boy, where did all that arrogance go? Are you too terrified to speak?”
He began to laugh hysterically, his shoulders shaking with unrestrained malice.
Just as he was about to command the slaughter, Leo Ray’s calm, detached voice cut through the air. “So this is your grand finale? It seems I also overestimated you.”
Leo Ray’s remark left both the bloodthirsty enemies and the doomed Young siblings in a state of bewilderment. They looked at him with utter confusion.
They were facing certain annihilation. Did Liam Sanders really think he could talk his way out of this? No matter how one looked at it, the enemy was poised to destroy them.
“Brother Chen, they won't show us any mercy.”
Qunnie Young’s face was set with grim resolve. She said firmly, “I will stay by your side until the very end!”
“That's right! The battlefield is about life or death. Even if we fall, we’ll take as many as we can with us!”
Ethan Young nodded, his voice a thunderous roar.
“Haha, don't worry. I’ll make sure your end is filled with nothing but agony and dread.”
The Luxurious Clothes Lord found the situation increasingly amusing, and his soldiers joined in with wicked laughter.
Leo Ray, seeing no point in further explanation, simply issued the order to attack to his own elite forces who had been waiting in secret.
