Realm of the Night God

Ye Zhiqiu's voice was slightly trembling, and it was clear that his emotions were very unstable at the moment.

While speaking, he tried to remove the four long nails that were fixing the demonic woman's limbs.

However, the long nails fixing the demonic woman's limbs were not ordinary nails, but rather something similar to an exorcist's mystical artifact. Not only could they suppress the demonic spiritual power within the demonic woman, but it was also very difficult to remove them without the corresponding method.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Ye Zhiqiu steeled his heart and then spoke a reminder to the demonic woman.

"Bear with it!"

As soon as he said this, Ye Zhiqiu grabbed the nail that was piercing the demonic woman's left hand, and then frantically mobilized the star spiritual power within his body, condensing it in the hand that was grasping the nail.

Under the influence of the large amount of star spiritual power, Ye Zhiqiu's entire arm emitted a visible green glow, and when this green light touched the demonic woman's body, the expression of pain on her face became more intense.

Ye Zhiqiu was a demon hunter, and the star spiritual power within his body had a strong suppressive effect on demons. Although he did not launch an attack on the demonic woman, the direct contact of the star spiritual power with the demon's body would still cause her a certain degree of harm.

If this demon was at the peak of her power, the damage caused by the touch of the star spiritual power would not be too great, as she would have her own demonic spiritual power to protect her.

Ye Zhiqiu noticed the demonic woman's pain and knew that it was his star spiritual power that was causing her suffering. He had a pained expression on his face and wanted to withdraw the star spiritual power from his hand, but he knew that this was not a rational approach. The most rational thing to do was to immediately and forcefully pull out the long nails that were restraining the demonic woman's limbs.

Although this would cause the demonic woman some harm, it would be better to endure a short pain than a prolonged one. With the removal of these four long nails, she would suffer less torment.

Ye Zhiqiu understood this logic, so he gritted his teeth, ignoring the painful expression on the demonic woman's face, and exerted a powerful force on the nail with his arm.

Under the influence of the external force, the nail trembled slightly, but there was no sign of it being pulled out. Instead, it was the demonic woman who was in agony, with beads of cold sweat appearing on her forehead.

However, the demonic woman did not cry out loudly. She clenched her teeth tightly, not making a sound despite the obvious pain.

Seeing that the nail was only trembling and not being pulled out, Ye Zhiqiu became very anxious and gritted his teeth, increasing the force.

As the force increased, the nail was gradually pulled out, bit by bit. Ye Zhiqiu let out a roar and exerted even greater force, and a stream of fresh blood shot out, piercing through the demonic woman's left hand. The long nail that had been fixed in her left hand was finally pulled out in one go, but there was now a large hole in her wrist, almost covering the entire area.

The hole in her wrist was gruesome, and fresh blood was still flowing out. If it had been an ordinary person, they would have died long ago from such torture. But the demonic woman was a demon, different from an ordinary person. Although this experience had left her extremely weak, it had not cost her her life.

Seeing the gruesome hole in the demonic woman's wrist, Ye Zhiqiu's heart was filled with pain. He tried to suppress the emotions from showing on his face, but a pained expression still appeared. The most up‑to‑date version is on M4VLEMP4YR.

"There are three more. Bear with it."

Ye Zhiqiu threw the nail he was holding on the ground, then grabbed the nail that was piercing the demonic woman's right hand and used the same method to forcefully pull it out.

He did not pause, and immediately turned his gaze to the demonic woman's left foot, grabbing the nail that was piercing it and trying to pull it out using the same technique.

Big Brother, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Yang Haoran, noticed this scene, and his expression became somewhat unsightly. However, he did not intervene to stop Ye Zhiqiu.

The reason for his choice was very simple. Even if Ye Zhiqiu removed all four nails from the demonic woman's body, in her current weakened state, she would not be able to cause any major disturbance. Not only would she not be able to affect him, but she would actually become a burden for Yang Haoran and the others.

As for whether Ye Zhiqiu would immediately flee with the demonic woman, this was not something he was worried about, as he had great confidence in himself. In his view, as long as he was still alive, no one would be able to take the demonic woman away from this place, so he did not bother to interfere with Ye Zhiqiu's actions.

However, through this, he also realized the true purpose of Yang Haoran's group today, which was to go after this demonic woman.

But what he did not expect was that Yang Haoran, as an Underworld Envoy, would actually come to deal with this kind of matter. What surprised him even more was that Ye Zhiqiu, as a demon hunter, was so concerned about a demon.

Although he had understood the purpose of Yang Haoran's group, he still had some doubts in his heart. But in the current situation, compared to resolving the doubts in his heart, he was more eager to immediately kill Yang Haoran, the Underworld Envoy.

This was because he could see that Yang Haoran was the strongest among the three. As long as he killed Yang Haoran, the remaining Ye Zhiqiu would be easy to deal with.

As for Bai Xue, he had not even considered slaying her, but rather wanted to capture her alive in exchange for more benefits. Once Yang Haoran and Ye Zhiqiu were both dead at his hands, capturing Bai Xue would be much more convenient.

While fiercely attacking Yang Haoran, Big Brother was also making his own calculations in his mind. As for the situation with Ye Zhiqiu, he only glanced at it briefly before turning his attention back.

However, at this moment, a piercing scream rang out, once again drawing his gaze. Only to see that Bai Xue had bitten down on Third Brother, her sharp fangs piercing through Third Brother's body, and the agonizing scream was coming from Third Brother's mouth.

Big Brother's face changed, and now there were only him and Third Brother left of the Five Brothers. If Third Brother were to die, he would be the only one left of the Five Brothers.

From the current situation, it seemed that this Third Brother was unlikely to survive.

Sure enough, before Third Brother's scream had even faded, the head of Bai Xue, who was biting down on Third Brother, made a violent jerk, and a shower of blood sprayed down, as Bai Xue tore Third Brother's physical body to shreds.

Bai Xue did not swallow Third Brother whole, because Third Brother was a demon hunter. If she had swallowed him whole, the star spiritual power within Third Brother's body that had not yet fully dissipated would have had a certain impact on her. The extent of this impact would depend on the strength of the demon hunter. If it were not for the need to continue the battle, she would not have minded simply swallowing Third Brother and absorbing his human spirit, even if it meant her body would suffer some consequences, for the benefits would outweigh the drawbacks.

However, the current situation was different. If her body were to be affected in any way, even if the impact was not significant, it would still burden her in the upcoming battle. So she gave up the opportunity to absorb a human spirit and did not swallow Third Brother, but instead directly used brute force to tear Third Brother's physical body to shreds.

Fresh blood and severed limbs and flesh rained down from the sky, but Bai Xue showed no interest in this scene, not even sparing it a glance. After tearing apart Third Brother's body, she let out a hiss and pounced towards the most formidable of the Five Brothers, Big Brother.

She was in such a hurry, not because she harbored deep hatred towards Big Brother, but because she wanted to immediately lend support to Yang Haoran and share his burden.

With Bai Xue's arrival, Yang Haoran's pressure was greatly reduced, and Ye Zhiqiu, without any interference, had successfully pulled out the four long nails from the demonic woman's body.

At the same time, a large group of people carrying firearms rushed towards the location of Yang Haoran and the others. These were the specially trained bodyguards of the Cloud Mist Manor.

The commotion here was significant, and these bodyguards naturally knew that something major had happened, so they immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed to the scene.

The sight before them was quite shocking, but these bodyguards had undergone special training and were accustomed to interacting with individuals with extraordinary abilities, so their tolerance was much higher than that of ordinary people.

Although they were shocked, their movements did not slow down at all, and they quickly raised their guns, targeting the largest target, Bai Xue, and opened fire.

The reason they chose Bai Xue as the target was that her massive body was the best shooting target. She was like a moving live target, and it would be better to attack her than the quickly moving Yang Haoran.

As for Ye Zhiqiu and the demonic woman, these bodyguards didn't even notice them, as Bai Xue's towering figure was simply too eye-catching, and their attention was completely drawn to her.

A series of gunshots rang out in the Cloud Mist Manor, and every single bullet hit Bai Xue. These bodyguards were professionally trained, and their gun skills were impeccable.
