Realm of the Night God

Yang Haoran's body was suspended in the air, and after seeing Big Brother's physical body turn into a mist of blood, he immediately dispersed the Death God Manifestation and spewed out a large amount of fresh blood.

Compared to the last time he used the Death God Manifestation, his strength had increased significantly, but this did not mean that he could easily unleash the powerful destructive power of the Death God Manifestation. Utilizing the powerful destructive power of the Death God Manifestation was still quite strenuous for him at the moment.

So, the moment Big Brother's body turned into a mist of blood, he decisively dispersed the Death God Manifestation, not daring to let it continue to exist, as this would have placed a great burden on him.

However, although he had promptly dispersed the Death God Manifestation, his body was still significantly affected, and combined with his previous injuries, he could not hold back and directly spewed out a large amount of fresh blood.

Yang Haoran did not pay attention to his own injuries. The first thing he did after dispersing the Death God Manifestation was to control his soul weapon, the Waning Moon, and shatter all the monsters attached to Bai Xue's body!

A green light emanated from Bai Xue's body, and her massive figure disappeared, reverting to her human form. Her demonic spiritual power manifested a white robe on her, but this robe was immediately stained red by the fresh blood oozing from the multiple wounds on her body.

"Quickly seal the wounds, don't let more blood be lost," Yang Haoran reminded with a worried expression.

Bai Xue nodded with a smile, but her face was pale, her breath weak, and her smile lacked the usual charm, giving a pitiful impression.

"Thank you just now, or else I might have had difficulty successfully summoning the Death God Manifestation."

"You must remember that I risked my life to save you, don't forget it," Bai Xue said with a smile.

Yang Haoran nodded with a smile, then turned his gaze to Ye Zhiqiu's location and said, "Go check on the situation, he can't die, or else this trip would have been in vain."

With their weakened bodies, the two appeared at the large pit where Ye Zhiqiu and the demonic woman were. The scene before them made Yang Haoran furrow his brows slightly.

Ye Zhiqiu had somehow risen from the ground and was holding the dying demonic woman in his arms.

The demonic woman's physical condition was very poor, and it seemed she had only moments left to live.

Just now, she was able to block Big Brother's hammer strike in time for Ye Zhiqiu because her attention had been focused on Ye Zhiqiu the entire time. When Ye Zhiqiu disrupted the bronze hammer's advancement, she knew that Big Brother would certainly kill Ye Zhiqiu in a fit of rage.

So, she secretly mobilized the limited demonic spiritual power within her body and used her own body to shield Ye Zhiqiu from the fatal blow at the critical moment.

After enduring Big Brother's strike, the demonic woman had completely lost her life force. The only reason she had not died immediately was that she still had some things she needed to say to Ye Zhiqiu, and it was for this reason that she stubbornly held on without letting her last breath escape.

Ye Zhiqiu lowered his head, tears streaming down his face. He wanted to say something, but the demonic woman spoke first.

"There are some things... I must make clear to you, or else... I will feel very wronged. Although I deceived you, I absolutely did not harm your parents. Don't misunderstand me, and don't hate me, or else... it will make me very sad."

At this point, the demonic woman's tone became weaker and her voice softer. A faint smile appeared on her face, and she continued.

"Today... being able to... see you... makes me so happy. I... I like being held by you like this. From now on... we... will never part again..."

The demonic woman used her last bit of strength to express the joy in her heart, but hidden beneath this joy were deep regrets and pain.

As her words faded, she closed her eyes and completely lost her life force. Thereafter, her body began to emit countless green specks of light, and as more and more green specks were released, her body became increasingly ethereal.

In the blink of an eye, the demonic woman in Ye Zhiqiu's arms completely vanished, leaving behind only a demonic pill. The area around them rapidly grew into a sea of Scarlet Flowers, transforming the once uneven battlefield.

The green specks of light that had been the demonic woman's body converged towards Ye Zhiqiu's long sword, which had been thrust deep into the ground in the distance.

The long sword, deeply embedded in the ground, continuously absorbed the endless stream of green light specks. As the long sword absorbed more and more of the green specks, its surface began to glow with a green light, and its power fluctuations also increased.

"No!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream escaped Ye Zhiqiu's lips, and he used all his remaining strength to rush towards his demonic weapon, his life bound.

He wanted to stop the green light from entering the long sword, but in his current physical condition, he had no power to do so, and could only watch helplessly as the green specks were continuously absorbed by his own demonic weapon.

In her final moments, the demonic woman had forcibly transformed her body into energy that her demonic weapon could absorb, and then merged it into Ye Zhiqiu's demonic weapon. The green specks of light visible to the naked eye were the energy from her body. Find the translation on MV&LEMPYR.

In just a few breaths, all the green specks of light had fully merged into Ye Zhiqiu's demonic weapon, and his long sword had advanced from a two-mark demonic weapon to a three-mark one.

The advancement of a demonic weapon would normally be a good thing for a demon hunter, but at this moment, Ye Zhiqiu was not at all happy about it. Emotionally agitated, he knelt in front of the long sword, tightly gripping the demonic pill the demonic woman had left behind, ignoring everyone else as he wept bitterly.

Before becoming a demon hunter, Ye Zhiqiu had his own parents and wife, living a normal but happy life. The demonic woman had been his wife, but at the time, Ye Zhiqiu did not know that she was a demon.

From their acquaintance and falling in love to their marriage, Ye Zhiqiu had never discovered anything unusual about his wife. In his eyes, she was just an ordinary woman, perhaps only exceptionally beautiful.

With Ye Zhiqiu's circumstances at the time, having such a beautiful and virtuous wife made him feel like the luckiest man in the world. He sometimes even wondered what good deeds he had done in his previous life to be able to marry such a beautiful and virtuous wife.

To create a better living environment for his wife, Ye Zhiqiu worked hard, not wanting to see his wife suffer alongside him, nor his aging parents continue to toil. Through his efforts, the family's living conditions had indeed improved, and everything seemed to be heading in a positive direction.

However, a tragic incident occurred that completely destroyed this family, and Ye Zhiqiu's world completely collapsed.

One day, as Ye Zhiqiu was returning home from work as usual, he was stopped by a middle-aged man who claimed to be a demon hunter. The middle-aged man had sensed a strong demonic qi from Ye Zhiqiu and informed him of this, but Ye Zhiqiu dismissed it as nonsense.

The middle-aged man did not give up and stubbornly followed Ye Zhiqiu back home. Although Ye Zhiqiu was initially unwilling, he had no way to stop the middle-aged man, who displayed some abilities that Ye Zhiqiu could not comprehend at the time. This made Ye Zhiqiu wonder if he had indeed had some contact with demons.

At the time, Ye Zhiqiu did not suspect his wife or his parents at all. In his view, if he had come into contact with demonic qi, it must have been outside his home, not within his own family.

However, the middle-aged man did not think so. He believed that while it was possible for Ye Zhiqiu to have contracted the demonic qi outside, it could not be completely ruled out that he had acquired it within his own home.

That was why the middle-aged man insisted on following Ye Zhiqiu back home to take a look.
