Realm of the Night God

The woman was fighting with all her might against the attacks of three Guardian Spirits, and she had no way to withstand Yang Haoran's attack anymore, and Waning Moon was so fast and had such strong penetrating power that she could not resist it at this time.

Without any accident, Waning Moon pierced through the woman's body, directly splitting her physical body in two.

With her physical body severed, the woman could no longer resist the stones and various debris controlled by the three Guardian Spirits, and her defenses were shattered as she was buried under a large amount of stones.

As the woman died, the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree dissipated into Yin Qi, as if they had never existed.

Seeing the woman's body split in two and buried under a large amount of stones, Yang Haoran heaved a sigh of relief.

In today's battle, his injuries were not too serious. However, the psychological pressure he had endured was not small.

If it were not for his promise that made the three Guardian Spirits turn against their master, the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain.

Facing three powerful spirit masters and three malevolent spirits, even with his greatly increased strength, he would have had a hard time coping, as two fists are no match for four hands. If these three Guardian Spirits knew how to cooperate, his situation would have been even more dangerous.

Fortunately, his promise successfully moved the three Guardian Spirits, otherwise the one buried under the pile of debris would not have been the woman, but most likely him.

However, the reaction of the three Guardian Spirits at the time showed him hope. He was well aware that if he had indeed persuaded the three Guardian Spirits to follow him, this battle would be a foregone conclusion, and victory would belong to him.

To achieve this goal, he made repeated promises, and to make his promises more credible, he even revealed that he was keeping a ghost in Lecheng and took a poisonous oath in front of everyone.

In the end, he successfully persuaded the three Guardian Spirits.

The reason he was able to persuade these three Guardian Spirits was not only because of his repeated promises and oaths, but also because these three Guardian Spirits were not doing well under their master.

If the three Guardian Spirits were doing relatively well under their master, even if they would betray their master for the sake of their own interests, the expression on their faces when making the decision would not be one of guilt, but at least not one of hatred.

From the reaction of the three Guardian Spirits when they made the decision, it was clear that they had no attachment to their master at all, and even wished for their master's early demise.

This shows that they must have been treated quite poorly by the three of them, otherwise how could they have such deep resentment.

With the help of the three Guardian Spirits, Yang Haoran successfully turned a bad hand into a good one.

In fact, even if Yang Haoran had not attacked the woman, given her condition at the time, she would not have been able to survive the attacks of the three Guardian Spirits. Her spiritual power was almost depleted, and she had no chance against the three Guardian Spirits, especially with the person's head under Yang Haoran's control, leaving her in a desperate situation.

Yang Haoran was aware of this, but he still decisively took action, without any hesitation, because in a life-and-death battle, if you can immediately eliminate the opponent, you should not hesitate, lest unexpected things happen.

Yang Haoran waved his hand lightly, and the spherical chain broke apart with a series of crashing sounds, then dissipated into Yin Qi.

As for the soul weapon Waning Moon, he did not put it away for the time being, keeping it by his side just in case, as he had not yet collected the souls of the three spirit masters, and he did not know if there would be any unknown variables.

This was not the first time he had slain a spirit master. In the past, he had also encountered spirit masters who had left behind a backup plan, and their souls had self-assembled into spirits after their death, trying to escape. To prevent this from happening, he had not opened the barrier.

With the barrier in place, even if these three spirit masters knew such a technique, they would not be able to escape from his hands. To s+upp.o.r.t our w&o*r^k, pl!ea+se r*ea%d on M@|V|$LE_#M-PY-R+.^

In the following time, Yang Haoran began to clean up the battlefield.

What puzzled him was that the three of them had not left behind any backup plans before their deaths, and their souls had not self-assembled into spirits after their deaths, including the most powerful woman.

In Yang Haoran's view, if the three of them knew such a backup plan, there was no reason for them not to prepare for it in advance. Since they did not do so, it could only mean that they probably did not know such a technique.

In other words, this kind of technique that allows one to leave behind a backup plan before death is not a common one, and not everyone can do it.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. Yang Haoran's current strength may not be considered very strong, but he should be in the middle to lower range among Burial Masters, and yet he does not know such a technique either.

Therefore, he believes that his guess is correct, and this kind of technique should be a secret technique.

Moreover, so far, he has only seen this technique used by spirit masters.

In his view, this technique should be a kind of Spirit Summoning Secret Art. When Zhao Hong died and independent space was blown open, all of Zhao Hong's collections became Yang Haoran's collections. Perhaps among these collections, there is a record of this Spirit Summoning Secret Art.

In the past, Yang Haoran was not interested in these Spirit Summoning Secret Arts, as he was an Underworld Envoy, not a spirit master. He collected them all, thinking that he might use them in the future, and it would be a pity to lose them.

However, now he has developed some interest in spirit summoning, especially this kind of spirit summoning that allows the soul to self-assemble into a spirit after death. If he also knew this technique, it would be like having an additional backup plan. Although this backup plan may be blocked by his opponents, if it is not blocked, even if his physical body is destroyed, he can still rise again.

After all, not everyone is as cautious as him. For others, this kind of backup plan may actually come in handy.

In any case, it is better to cultivate this kind of backup plan than not to have it at all. This is undeniable.

However, the current situation is not suitable for him to check whether there is such a spirit summoning technique in the spirit summoning he has collected. This matter can only be dealt with later.

Yang Haoran successfully extracted the souls of the three people from their bodies and placed them in a soul gathering bead, without forcefully awakening their souls.

After doing all this, he shook his head with a look of regret.

At this time, the three Guardian Spirits were watching Yang Haoran from a distance, their gaze wary and not daring to approach.

They were at the edge of the barrier, and their intention was clear - if Yang Haoran went back on his word and attacked them, they would have no choice but to forcefully break through the barrier and escape.

Whether they could actually break through the barrier was another matter, and whether they would even attempt it was yet another. If Yang Haoran really did attack them, they would have to try, regardless of whether they could break the barrier or not.

The three understood the principle of "when the rabbit dies, the dog is cooked." Although Yang Haoran had just made a promise to them and even sworn an oath, their identities were still fundamentally opposed, and they were still skeptical about whether he would keep his word.

[When the rabbit (the primary target) dies, the dog (a secondary target) is then cooked and eaten. In other words, when the main target or victim is eliminated, the secondary or associated target also faces a bad fate or consequence.]

Their previous decision to follow Yang Haoran was a gamble, a bet that he was a man of his word. And since they didn't want to continue following their original master, they had no choice but to take that big gamble.

As gamblers, it was only natural for them to feel anxious and uneasy when the results were about to be revealed.

Seeing Yang Haoran's regretful head shake, the three Guardian Spirits' negative emotions intensified, and their wariness and unease became even more pronounced.

Yang Haoran noticed their wary gazes and asked, "Why are you three looking at me with such eyes?" He then seemed to realize something and said with a smile, "The regret I just showed was because I couldn't break open their independent space, and it has nothing to do with you."
