Realm of the Night God

After Waning Moon grew larger, it blocked all the bone spikes, and at this time, Waning Moon was like a super-sized shield, while the bone spikes were like a dense array of arrows.

The bone spikes collided with Waning Moon, sparks flew, and a series of crisp sounds were heard, but due to the formidable power of Old Man Lu's technique, Waning Moon was repeatedly pushed back.

Seeing that Old Man Lu had used spirit summoning to restrain Yang Haoran, the woman, filled with anger, quickly began to form hand seals as well.

Just like Old Man Lu, the woman's hand seal formation speed was also extremely fast, and in comparison, the woman's hand seal formation speed was even slightly faster than Old Man Lu's.

However, the woman's hand seal formation did not complete instantly, but was constantly changing.

The speed of hand seal formation, fast or slow, is related to the proficiency in performing the secret technique. The more proficient one is, the faster the hand seal formation will be.

In addition, different secret techniques require different hand seals to be formed, and the more powerful the secret technique, the more complex and numerous the hand seals, which will take longer to complete.

The bone spikes that Old Man Lu was currently using were just a very ordinary spirit summoning, and it was precisely because this was a very ordinary spirit summoning that he was able to complete the hand seal formation instantly, because this ordinary spirit summoning was not as complicated as some Spirit Summoning Secret Arts.

As for why he was able to unleash such powerful effects with this ordinary spirit summoning, it was because his own strength was already formidable, and he had mobilized a large amount of spiritual power when performing this spirit summoning, so the power was greatly amplified.

Although the two of them had not directly attacked Yang Haoran, they had been secretly mobilizing their internal spiritual power to ensure that they could unleash even stronger power when performing the spirit summoning.

This was not something they had discussed, but their thoughts were the same - they were preparing to use spirit summoning that could be instantly completed to deal with Yang Haoran, because Yang Haoran's soul weapon Waning Moon was too fast, and if they tried to perform a complex Spirit Summoning Secret Art, Yang Haoran would not give them the chance to complete the hand seals.

By using the instantly completed spirit summoning to restrain Yang Haoran, they would then have the opportunity to perform an even more powerful spirit summoning, this was their plan at the time.

However, at the moment, the woman had been completely enraged by Yang Haoran, and with Old Man Lu's spirit summoning already restraining Yang Haoran, she changed her mind.

She did not want to use an ordinary spirit summoning, she wanted to use a more powerful Spirit Summoning Secret Art to resolve Yang Haoran once and for all!

The Spirit Summoning Secret Art required not only more hand seals, but also more complex ones, so the woman's hand seal formation speed was faster than Old Man Lu's, but she still did not complete it instantly.

The woman's attack was delayed, which puzzled Old Man Lu greatly, and he turned his gaze to the demonic woman, unable to help but urge, "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and make your move!"

"Hold him down for me!!!"

With her eyes tightly closed, the woman shouted back at Old Man Lu, and from her tone, it was clear that she was very angry at the moment.

Although the woman did not explicitly say so, as a fellow spirit master, Old Man Lu naturally realized that the woman was performing a powerful Spirit Summoning Secret Art, so he did not urge her further, but turned his attention back to Yang Haoran, controlling more bone spikes to attack Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran was not a spirit master, but he was not a fool either, and naturally understood that the woman was now unleashing her trump card. Since the two sides were enemies and in a life-or-death situation, he must find a way to respond to all this, and preferably stop the woman from successfully performing this spirit summoning.

He still had a smile on his face, seemingly unchanged, but in his heart he was thinking of how to disrupt the woman's hand seal formation and incantation!

The pitch-black Yin spiritual power gushed out from his body and, under his control, flowed into his soul weapon Waning Moon. With the addition of a large amount of Yin spiritual power, Waning Moon let out a hum, and the Waning Moon that had been forced to retreat step by step by the dense bone spikes suddenly stabilized in the air and no longer continued to retreat.

Not only that, after stabilizing in the air, Waning Moon even suppressed the bone spikes and quickly advanced towards Old Man Lu's position!

Old Man Lu's expression changed drastically, and faced with this situation, he had no choice but to mobilize more spiritual power to support himself, otherwise his spirit summoning bone spikes would be forcibly broken.

Once his spirit summoning was broken, Yang Haoran would certainly not give him a chance to perform it again, and with Waning Moon's speed, even if he was not seriously injured, he might even lose his life.

So, with no other choice, he could only mobilize more spiritual power to resist Waning Moon, but this would accelerate the consumption of his internal spiritual power.

However, he had no other choice. From the current situation, this was the only way he could do it. He had to try his best to hold on until the woman's Spirit Summoning Secret Art was successfully performed.

As long as the woman's Spirit Summoning Secret Art was successfully performed, not to mention whether this Spirit Summoning Secret Art could take Yang Haoran's life, at least he could free up his hands to perform an even more powerful spirit summoning, instead of being in a passive position like now.

While struggling to support Waning Moon, Old Man Lu noticed that the three Guardian Spirits were just standing by and watching, including his own Guardian Spirit, which made him extremely angry.

"What are you all standing around for? Don't tell me you actually believe his nonsense! You are Guardian Spirits! The Guardian Spirits of spirit masters! Not the running dogs of the Underworld Envoy!!!"

His inner anger made Old Man Lu roar furiously.

Old Man Lu's roar made the three Guardian Spirits' expressions change, but they did not immediately attack Yang Haoran as he commanded.

Old Man Lu's eyes were blazing with fury. It was understandable that the other two Guardian Spirits did not listen to him, as they were not his own Guardian Spirits. What angered him was that even his own Guardian Spirit was hesitating.

"Hehe, this spirit master, if you treat your Guardian Spirit better normally, how could this situation have arisen? At the end of the day, it's because you don't treat your own Guardian Spirit well." Note from the editor: Always check MV2LEMPYR for corrections.

Yang Haoran sneered as he activated the Waning Moon. After saying these words, he ignored Old Man Lu's ugly expression and looked towards the three Guardian Spirits.

"I, Yang Haoran, keep my word. If you are willing to follow me, I not only won't harm you in the slightest, but I will also cultivate you as my trusted aides. This is my promise to you. If I, Yang Haoran, ever break this promise made today, may I be struck by lightning and meet an untimely death!"

Yang Haoran's words had a profound impact on the three Guardian Spirits. They had already been considering the idea, and now their hearts were even more unsettled.

However, at this moment, a furious roar suddenly came from the woman's mouth!

"How dare you!"

The roar rang out, and the woman's eyes snapped open, interrupting the hand seal she was forming.

"Spirit summoning! Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree!!"

Spiritual power surged from the woman's body, quickly coalescing in front of her, and the outline of a towering tree began to emerge.

At the same time, one of the three Guardian Spirits looked at the large tree forming in front of the woman, then turned his gaze to Yang Haoran, who was controlling the Waning Moon to attack Old Man Lu. In that moment, he suddenly made a decision!

"I agree to your offer. However, I hope the Underworld Envoy will remember the promise you made today!"

This Guardian Spirit spoke in a deep voice, and without further ado, he turned and charged towards the woman, who was in the process of summoning the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree.

The sudden decision made by this Guardian Spirit shocked everyone present, including the Yang Haoran who had been instigating them to betray their masters.

If the one making this decision had been the Guardian Spirit of the young man, Yang Haoran would not have been surprised, as the young man had already died, and his Guardian Spirit had regained its freedom, no longer bound by the contract. Moreover, the young man's Guardian Spirit had already wanted to climb onto Yang Haoran's tree, and would have been tempted by Yang Haoran's promise.

However, the Guardian Spirit who had just agreed to Yang Haoran's offer and charged towards the woman was not the young man's Guardian Spirit, but rather... the woman's Guardian Spirit!
