Chapter 453: Eliminating Another Person
Second Boss's collection was quite extensive, with a large number of items continuously spewing out from the space rift with a rustling sound.
This scene first made Yang Haoran pause, and then a look of delight appeared on his face.
"Looks like I'm in luck, the first target has already opened up an independent space."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Haoran suddenly sensed something, and his expression changed slightly.
The reason for the change in his expression was that he sensed the barrier outside the small house had been broken, and there were four energy fluctuations inside the small house, which meant the other four people from the manor had arrived.
"Bai Xue, you hide first!"
Yang Haoran instructed, then appeared next to Second Boss's corpse. He didn't care how many of the collection items were useful to him, as in the current situation, he simply didn't have time to sort through them. So he decisively waved his hand, absorbing all the collection items that had exploded out of Second Boss's independent space into his own independent space.
Hearing this, Bai Xue's figure flashed as she hid in an inconspicuous corner of the dungeon. She had not yet resolved her own energy fluctuations, so hiding in the dark would allow her to find a suitable opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
As for Ye Zhiqiu, he rushed towards the demonic woman, seemingly wanting to rescue her first.
The leader was a middle-aged man, whose energy fluctuation was the strongest among them. The other three people's energy fluctuations were weaker compared to him.
One of them was a young man with black skin all over his body, his aura somewhat weak, clearly having been severely poisoned. This person was none other than the Fifth Brother, the youngest and weakest of the Five Brothers.
Due to the lack of time, the Fifth Brother did not have the time to expel the deadly poison from his body. He could only choose to temporarily seal the poison to prevent it from continuing to spread.
Although the poison had not continued to spread rapidly within his body, the fact that the poison had not been expelled from his body still left him in a poisoned state.
Previously, he had tried to expel the poison from his body, but to his surprise, it was much more difficult than he had imagined.
While the Fifth Brother was trying to expel the poison from his body, the Fourth Brother immediately called their Big Brother and informed him of the Fifth Brother's poisoning situation.
After learning the situation, the Big Brother felt something was off, so he immediately stopped the matter he was dealing with and brought the Third Brother back to the manor.
Seeing the headless corpse on the ground, the expressions of the four changed drastically. Although the head was missing, the four immediately recognized who the deceased was.
"Sec... Second Brother!" The Fifth Brother wanted to rush forward, but was pulled back by the Big Brother.
As for the Fourth Brother and the Third Brother, although their expressions were grim, they did not rashly act. Their gaze swept over Yang Haoran and Ye Zhiqiu, finally resting on Yang Haoran.
Facing the arrival of the four, Yang Haoran smiled, his expression showing no panic at all. As for Ye Zhiqiu, in this situation, he could only stop his attempt to rescue the demonic woman, holding the demonic weapon and calmly observing the four.
"Yin spirit power, soul weapon, are you the Underworld Envoy?" The Big Brother looked at the surging Yin Qi on Yang Haoran's body, then at the Waning Moon slowly rotating on Yang Haoran's shoulder, and spoke in a deep voice.
Although it was phrased as a question, the Big Brother had already confirmed Yang Haoran's identity.
"Hehe, good eye, my friend."
Yang Haoran chuckled as he spoke, not denying his identity, as denying it would be meaningless. His Yin Qi, the Yin spirit power he released, and the soul weapon on his shoulder all clearly indicated his true identity, so there was no point in denying it.
"We Five Brothers..."
Before the Big Brother could finish speaking, the Waning Moon on Yang Haoran's shoulder suddenly transformed into a black light and shot forward.
The Big Brother's expression changed drastically. He had not expected Yang Haoran to be so cunning and treacherous, attacking without any warning.
He was both shocked and furious, activating his star spiritual power and waving his hand to erect a green protective barrier in front of him.
Boom!!!
A loud noise rang out as the Waning Moon collided with the protective barrier. The barrier let out a series of cracking sounds and developed cracks.
Yang Haoran's sudden attack had been blocked by this person!
The fact that this person could block the attack was due to both his own formidable strength and the fact that he had been on guard.
However, the barrier hastily erected had limited power, so it was unable to withstand the destructive power of the Waning Moon, and cracks quickly appeared.
Looking at the situation, the barrier would shatter in a short time.
The Big Brother was well aware of this, so he wanted to push the Waning Moon back to buy some time for himself and the other three brothers.
But before he could react, a long sword also struck the protective barrier, following closely behind the Waning Moon.
The owner of this long sword was naturally Ye Zhiqiu, the fellow demon hunter.
Ye Zhiqiu reacted extremely quickly. The moment Yang Haoran made his move, he didn't even think, directly controlling his demonic weapon to follow closely.
The barrier, which already had cracks, had no chance of withstanding Ye Zhiqiu's sword strike. Keep us going by reading on MV_LEM_PYR.
Another thunderous sound, and the barrier shattered, dissipating into green sparks. The Waning Moon and the long sword, along with the remaining force, rapidly approached the Big Brother behind the barrier!
In this situation, it was impossible for the Big Brother to release his star spiritual power to form another protective barrier, as there was simply no time. So he wisely dodged to the side.
"Get out of the way!"
In the moment of dodging, the Big Brother also reminded the three brothers behind him. The Third Brother and Fourth Brother were already on guard, and the moment the Big Brother's voice rang out, they had already dodged in different directions.
As for the Fifth Brother, he was the weakest in strength among the five, and his reactions were also the slowest. Combined with the severe poison in his body, his response was the slowest.
Because his reaction was not timely enough, he ended up following in the footsteps of the Second Brother, or to be more precise, his fate was even more tragic than the Second Brother's.
His left arm was instantly pierced through by Ye Zhiqiu's long sword. Due to the immense power of the sword, coupled with the layer of strong star spiritual power covering it, Ye Zhiqiu's strike nearly severed his entire left arm.
As for his neck, it was instantly penetrated by Yang Haoran's Waning Moon, the same as what had happened to the Second Brother earlier.
This happened because Yang Haoran and Ye Zhiqiu's attacks were not aimed at the same point, so the points of impact were different.
Ye Zhiqiu struck with his sword, but his target was not the weakest and poisoned Fifth Brother, as he saw this person as not much of a threat. His target was the Big Brother, the strongest and most dangerous among them, so he wanted to eliminate him first. However, the Big Brother dodged the attack, and the Fifth Brother ended up bearing the brunt of it.
But since the Fifth Brother was not Ye Zhiqiu's original target, the attack only destroyed the Fifth Brother's arm and did not hit a vital point.
Yang Haoran's intentions were completely different from Ye Zhiqiu's. When he activated the Waning Moon to attack, the apparent target was the Big Brother, the strongest among the five. But the one he truly wanted to eliminate was the weakest, the Fifth Brother!
It was precisely because the Fifth Brother was his actual target that Yang Haoran was able to control the Waning Moon to accurately pierce the Fifth Brother's neck.
