Chapter 536: Another Barrier
Yang Haoran listened to the Old Man's promise, but remained unmoved.
However, the two Old Men did not give up. One of them continued to speak.
"We came prepared this time. I believe you have already seen our other friend. With the three of us, do you think there will be any problem in capturing Old Master Feng? With you, we will have four people, and capturing Old Master Feng will be even easier."
When Yang Haoran heard this, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. The "other friend" they mentioned was likely the Black Talisman Master, and the Black Talisman Master's girlfriend was not included in their count.
If that was the case, then Feng Yaoshi's situation would be quite dire. And the fact that the Black Talisman Master was willing to enter the barrier likely meant that he was confident in his own strength, not just simply.
Yang Haoran still had no intention of revealing himself. The other party's words sounded good, and they even made a promise to him, but Yang Haoran would not believe such words as long as he was not a fool.
He estimated that the moment he revealed himself, he would be met with a fierce attack from the two. They had already made it clear that they were well-prepared this time, and capturing Feng Yaoshi would be no problem for the three of them. Since they could handle this matter on their own, why would they be willing to let another person share in the spoils?
Therefore, Yang Haoran guessed that the moment he revealed himself, he would undoubtedly face their deadly attacks. Although this was just his speculation, based on his experience, he believed he was not wrong.
Seeing that Yang Haoran still refused to reveal himself, the two brothers looked at each other, and both saw the murderous intent in the other's eyes.
One of the Old Men spoke, and then his figure moved, rushing towards the barrier below and launching a fierce attack on it, seemingly trying to forcibly tear open a hole in the barrier.
The other old man waved his hand and took out a Copper Coin Sword. The moment he grasped the Copper Coin Sword, he gave a slight twist of his wrist, and a layer of flames ignited on the sword.
Without further ado, the Old Man slashed towards the direction where Yang Haoran had disappeared.
A giant Copper Coin Sword appeared, which was completely formed by the power within the Old Man's body, without any physical substance. However, the giant sword was also surrounded by raging flames.
Boom!!!
The valley was split by the Old Man's sword strike, creating a deep ravine right in front of Yang Haoran's previous location.
Dust and sand filled the air, and the violent power swept to both sides, causing the tree Yang Haoran was hiding in to bend over, as if it might break at any moment.
But the most crucial thing was that the Old Man's sword strike was accompanied by the raging flames, and these flames were not ordinary fire. As soon as the sword strike landed, the flames spread, instantly igniting the surrounding trees on both sides of the ravine.
The tree Yang Haoran was in had not been set on fire yet, but it would not take long for the fire to reach it. Once the tree was engulfed in flames, Yang Haoran would be exposed.
Yang Haoran tightly gripped the tree branches, trying his best not to fall from the tree. He glanced at the rapidly spreading fire and fell into deep thought. Enjoying the story? Find more at MV-LEMPYR.
At this moment, he was considering whether he should launch a sneak attack on the Old Man. If he didn't act soon, he might lose the chance to attack.
However, why should he attack the Old Man? If he fought and defeated the two Old Men, would Feng Yaoshi really be grateful to him? Recalling Feng Yaoshi's previous actions towards him, Yang Haoran felt that even if he stopped these two Old Men, Feng Yaoshi might still drive him out of the valley.
Since that was the case, what was the point of him attacking the Old Man now?
Unwilling to act, but also unwilling to leave, Yang Haoran decided to hide as much as possible and wait for the right opportunity. Ideally, he would let the two parties fight each other to the point of mutual destruction, and then he could pick up the spoils.
His plan was not bad, but unfortunately, the attacking Old Man was not a fool. After unleashing the sword strike, he did not force Yang Haoran out, but instead continued to strike in different directions.
Thunderous sounds echoed continuously, causing the entire valley to shake violently. The Old Man then held the sword in one hand, made a hand seal with the other, and began chanting.
A strong wind swept through the valley, and under the influence of this wind, the fire quickly spread. In a short moment, the entire valley was engulfed in raging flames.
Faced with this situation, Yang Haoran's plan to continue hiding was no longer feasible. The spreading fire would easily burn him to death if he did not release the power seal on his body.
His original idea of hiding and waiting for the right opportunity to pick up the spoils had been thwarted by the Old Man's actions.
At the same time, the other Old Man had successfully opened a hole in the barrier.
"I'll go in and help first, you deal with that kid and then come in," the Old Man said, and then he quickly entered the barrier. As he entered, the hole in the barrier closed up.
However, just as the Old Man entered the barrier, a restriction barrier suddenly lit up in a certain area of the valley.
The appearance of this restriction barrier caught the attention of both the Old Man and Yang Haoran. Neither of them had known that there was another restriction barrier hidden in this valley. If it weren't for the raging fire burning the entire valley, they would not have discovered its existence.
Due to the hazy mist within the restriction barrier, both the Old Man and Yang Haoran were unable to see what was inside. However, the fact that Feng Yaoshi had lured the enemies into another barrier suggested that there must be something else hidden within this restriction barrier.
Seeing the newly revealed restriction barrier, the Old Man furrowed his brows, his expression grave as he fell into deep thought.
He wanted to go to this restriction barrier and try to tear open a hole to enter and investigate the situation. However, he also had to consider the hidden enemy, as if he focused his attention on the barrier, the enemy might take the opportunity to attack him.
But the Old Man was also beginning to suspect that the hidden enemy might have already left, as the entire valley was engulfed in flames, and the enemy would need to use their power to resist the flames if they wanted to avoid being harmed. However, the Old Man did not sense any fluctuations of power, so did that mean the hidden enemy had already left?
Just as the Old Man was pondering this, a terrifying power fluctuation suddenly erupted from the valley below, causing the Old Man's expression to change.
The power fluctuation that had suddenly appeared had not only dispelled his previous suspicion that the hidden enemy might have left, but its overwhelming strength also far exceeded his expectations.
From the sea of flames below, a black beam shot out, targeting the Old Man above at an incredible speed.
The Old Man was startled, and without further thought, he switched his single-handed sword grip to a two-handed grip, hastily using the Copper Coin Sword to block the incoming attack.
Ding!!!
A crisp sound rang out, and the Old Man was sent flying, along with his sword, by the powerful rebound force. The black beam was also deflected.
This sudden black beam was naturally Yang Haoran's soul weapon, Waning Moon. Given the power fluctuations emanating from the Old Man, Yang Haoran knew that without opening his Heaven Soul, he would have no chance of defeating the Old Man. Therefore, he had released the power seal on his body and activated his Heaven Soul.
In the valley below, Yang Haoran's body was enveloped in a dense Yin Qi as he burst out from the sea of flames, hovering in the air with Waning Moon circling around him.
The Old Man stabilized himself, looked at Yang Haoran's soul weapon Waning Moon, and then fixed his gaze on Yang Haoran, saying in a deep voice, "Yin spirit power, soul weapon, you are from the Yin Division!"
Yang Haoran smiled and nodded, not denying it, as there was no point in denying the obvious Yin Division markings. Moreover, he had no need to deny it, as in his eyes, this Old Man was already a dead man.
