Realm of the Night God

Yang Haoran's laughter had already angered Shorty greatly, and this laughter was like pouring a bucket of gasoline onto the flames of Shorty's fury, causing his entire face to become distorted.

His anger was because, in Shorty's eyes, the smile that Yang Haoran had just revealed was a blatant provocation!

"Laugh? Hehe, now let you laugh to your heart's content, soon you won't be able to laugh anymore." Shorty angrily sneered, his voice ice-cold and bone-chilling.

"Oh? Is that so? I'd like to see how you'll make me unable to laugh."

Not only did Yang Haoran's smile not disappear, but it even became more pronounced.

"You don't have to be in a hurry, you'll soon see. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you a piece of good news, your AnchengYin Division is currently suffering a devastating blow, I'm sure you didn't know about this, right?" Shorty sneered.

Upon hearing this, Yang Haoran's smile first stiffened, but then he quickly regained his composure.

"Hehe, at the end of the road, huh? Need to use such means to disturb my mind?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

As soon as Yang Haoran finished speaking, a muffled sound came from the collapsed building not far away, and the corpse fiend that Yang Haoran had kicked away earlier crawled out from the ruins.

Seeing that his corpse puppet's face had been completely kicked apart by Yang Haoran, Shorty's eye twitched slightly.

He withdrew his gaze from the corpse puppet and looked back at Yang Haoran, saying in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, because you're going to be a dead man soon. The reason I told you this is just that I find it a bit funny, your own headquarters have been dismantled, and you still have the heart to meddle in other people's business. But since you dare to meddle, you must pay the price!"

As his words fell, a cold and gloomy laughter came from Shorty's mouth, and a dense Corpse Qi gushed out from his body. Pleasereadthischapteronitsoriginalplatform—M|V|L1EMPYR.

As this Corpse Qi burst out of his body, he seemed to have suddenly suffered a great consumption, and his face immediately turned a little pale, and the power fluctuations emanating from his body also weakened slightly.

After the Corpse Qi was expelled from his body, it immediately split into two, one heading towards the corpse fiend that had just emerged from the ground, and the other towards the corpse fiend that was chained on the ground.

The speed of the Corpse Qi was extremely fast, and if Yang Haoran wanted to block it, he would still be able to do so with his strength, but he did not do so.

Because, at the moment, all he could think about was Shorty's previous words.

According to what Shorty had just said, the AnchengYin Division was currently in dire straits, and Shorty had told him this because he had mistaken him for a member of the AnchengYin Division.

He was the Burial Master of Lecheng, not the Burial Master of Ancheng, and with his personality, he wouldn't bother to get involved unless it was on his own turf.

But Ancheng was different, Ancheng was Xu Meijing's territory, and at the moment, Xu Meijing was definitely still refining the soul-refining cauldron, and had no idea what was happening to the AnchengYin Division. If what Shorty said was true, then the group of people under Xu Meijing's command were in big trouble.

If the AnchengYin Division really suffered a devastating blow, and Xu Meijing, the Burial Master, was not there, then when the higher-ups came to investigate, the first one to be punished would be Xu Meijing!

It was precisely because this matter involved Xu Meijing that Yang Haoran was a little distracted at the moment, but when he regained his senses, Shorty's Corpse Qi had already merged into the two corpse fiends.

The corpse fiends, infused with Shorty's Corpse Qi, suddenly seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and the power fluctuations emanating from them increased significantly!

Two excited and powerful roars came from the mouths of the two corpse fiends, and the corpse fiend that had been bound by Yang Haoran with chains directly shattered the chains with brute force!

The chains were shattered and dissipated into wisps of Yin Qi, and this corpse fiend, who had been bound by the chains for a while, finally regained its freedom.

After the roars, the two corpse fiends locked their gazes on Yang Haoran and charged towards him like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

It turned out that the reason Shorty had not immediately attacked Yang Haoran, but had instead rambled on and on, was that he was secretly using a secret technique to enhance the strength of the two corpse fiends, so that he would have a chance to kill Yang Haoran.

The secret technique has been successfully deployed, and although it has caused him great consumption, the strength of the two corpse fiends has been greatly enhanced.

This enhancement is not permanent, only temporary, and the duration is not long, but Shorty personally feels that this time is enough to deal with Yang Haoran.

Seeing his two corpse fiends pounce on Yang Haoran, Shorty laughed coldly. He did not join the two corpse fiends in attacking Yang Haoran, not because he lacked the strength to do so, but because he was waiting for the best opportunity to strike.

If he didn't strike, it would be fine, but if he did, he must take Yang Haoran's life.

Seeing Yang Haoran's stern expression, with no trace of the previous smile, Shorty couldn't help but burst into laughter. He felt that Yang Haoran must be afraid, which is why his smile had disappeared.

This thought made his expression become quite smug.

"I just said that you wouldn't be able to smile in a while, how's that? Am I right or not?"

As Shorty's words fell, the two corpse fiends were already within reach, attacking Yang Haoran from left and right!

However, at this moment, Yang Haoran's deep voice suddenly rang out in the area.

"Heaven Soul! Open!"

With the opening of the Heaven Soul, an extremely powerful Yin spirit power erupted from Yang Haoran's body. The visible Yin spirit power raged around him, directly blowing the two attacking corpse fiends away.

In that instant, the power fluctuations emanating from Yang Haoran's body were growing at a terrifying speed, and Shorty saw it all, his smile instantly freezing on his face.

Regaining his senses, his expression changed drastically, and his gaze turned to Yang Haoran's side, where a mass of Yin Qi was gathering and constantly rolling violently, as if nurturing a fierce beast from the primordial era.

"Damn it, no wonder he is so powerful, it turns out he has successfully opened the Heaven Soul. Judging from the power fluctuations he is currently emitting, he is far more powerful than me!"

Filled with shock, Shorty wasted no time and tried to tear open the space to flee this place.

He was a decisive person, and knowing he was no match, he didn't linger in battle, but instead prioritized saving his own life first.

However, he failed to tear open a rift in the space, as the area had been sealed off by the barrier set up by Yang Haoran.

Seeing that he couldn't tear the space, Shorty turned and fled, and to give himself a chance to escape, he quickly ordered his two corpse fiends.

"Stop him!!!"

As the words left his mouth, his body had already charged forward, but he hadn't gone far when a black beam pierced through his neck.

Shorty's head flew up into the sky, with a gush of fresh blood spraying like a column, but the part below his head continued to charge forward for a distance before finally collapsing to the ground.

Shorty was dead, killed instantly by the Heaven Soul-empowered Yang Haoran. Above his head, the Waning Moon, Yang Haoran's soul weapon, slowly rotated, the black beam that had pierced his neck was the Waning Moon.

Although Shorty was dead, it didn't stop the two corpse fiends.

Without a Corpse Keeper, the corpse fiends would no longer act according to the Corpse Keeper's orders, but their current attack on Yang Haoran was purely driven by instinct.

Corpse fiends have no spiritual intelligence, and they act solely on instinct. Seeing a person or other animal, they will instinctively attack, bite to death, and consume their blood and flesh.

So even though Shorty was dead, Yang Haoran, a living person standing there, was still a target for their instinctive attack.

Seeing the two corpse puppets charge at him again, Yang Haoran was initially prepared to control the Waning Moon to quickly dismember these two corpse fiends, but after a brief hesitation, he changed his mind.
