Chapter 740: Reversal
Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing, the two of them, were originally preparing to unleash their full strength and then take on Zhang Changqing and his son in a fight to the death. At that time, it would be up to each person's abilities to see who would emerge victorious.
However, neither of them expected that Zhong Siyu would suddenly appear, and even more unexpectedly, Zhong Siyu's strength was incredibly powerful. In just an instant, the ghost that had escaped from the Soul Suppression Tower was devoured by her.
Although the ghost was already extremely weak at the time, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse, and even if it was weak, it was still close to being a Ghost King. But when faced with Zhong Siyu, it didn't even have the ability to resist.
As for Zhang Changchun and his son, they tried to intervene at the first opportunity, but not only did they have no effect, they were even crushed by Zhong Siyu's absolute strength. Her strength was so powerful that it was astonishing.
"This situation has become troublesome."
Xu Meijing spoke in a low voice, her face looking very ugly. The sudden change in the situation had made her face turn sour.
Yang Haoran, of course, understood what Xu Meijing was worried about. Before Zhong Siyu appeared, even if the two of them unleashed their full strength, it was still uncertain whether they could defeat Zhang Changchun and his son, as well as the ghost.
Now that the ghost that had escaped from the Soul Suppression Tower had been devoured by Zhong Siyu, they had gained an even more powerful and ruthless enemy. Their pressure had naturally increased, and it wasn't just a little bit. Xu Meijing's ugly face was very normal.
After all, she and Yang Haoran were both Underworld Envoys, and in the eyes of ghosts, they were all big supplements. As long as Zhong Siyu dealt with Zhang Changchun and his son, she would definitely take action against them, so the pressure in her heart was huge.
Originally, Zhong Siyu had been affected by his enchantment technique, so Zhong Siyu's attitude towards him was different from her attitude towards others. At least, she didn't have as much hostility towards him, which was not a guess, but a conclusion proven by facts.
However, not having much hostility didn't mean that Zhong Siyu would let him off easily. Once he provoked the blood-red female ghost, he had no doubt that she would take action against him.
From the current situation, as long as Zhong Siyu dealt with Zhang Changchun and his son, she would definitely shift her target to him and Xu Meijing. Due to the enchantment technique, as long as he didn't become enemies with Zhong Siyu, the probability of her taking action against him was not high.
However, the probability of Zhong Siyu taking action against Xu Meijing was very high. After all, as a blood-red malevolent spirit, she hated everything in the world and was brutal and bloodthirsty. She had no reason to spare Xu Meijing, especially since Xu Meijing was an Underworld Envoy.
Once Zhong Siyu took action against Xu Meijing, Yang Haoran would definitely stand on Xu Meijing's side without hesitation. This was beyond doubt. However, by that time, even if Zhong Siyu was affected by his enchantment technique, she would probably still treat him as an enemy.
Zhong Siyu's current power fluctuations were too strong, and they were still increasing. Even if the two of them unleashed all their strength and used all their methods, they might not be able to be Zhong Siyu's opponents. Thinking about these problems, Yang Haoran's heart couldn't help but feel some pressure, although his pressure was slightly less than Xu Meijing's.
He was just about to open his mouth to comfort Xu Meijing, but Xu Meijing didn't give him the opportunity. As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Meijing's cold voice came out again.
"I have a way to solve the current difficulties, but I need some time."
Xu Meijing didn't explain further, and Yang Haoran didn't ask questions. Although he didn't know what Xu Meijing specifically wanted to do, he understood Xu Meijing's meaning, so he nodded lightly towards Xu Meijing.
After getting Yang Haoran's nod of agreement, Xu Meijing inserted the Death Slayer into the ground, then sat down cross-legged and took out two soul pills from her independent space, putting them in her mouth and closing her eyes to refine them with all her might.
The previous battle had indeed consumed some of Xu Meijing's Yin spirit power, but the amount they had consumed was not too much, and it was completely unnecessary to take two soul pills at once to replenish the consumption.
So, Yang Haoran didn't think that Xu Meijing's current actions were simply to recover her consumed Yin spirit power, but also possibly to temporarily boost her strength, or maybe to use a certain technique that would consume too much Yin spirit power, which is why she had to choose this method.
As for the specific reason, Yang Haoran wasn't sure at the moment, and he was a bit curious, but considering that Xu Meijing couldn't be disturbed right now, he didn't ask too many questions.
Of course, he wouldn't let his curiosity get the better of him and ask Xu Meijing at this time. What he needed to do now was to protect Xu Meijing and prevent her from getting hurt.
The meaning behind Xu Meijing's words was exactly that - she needed Yang Haoran to buy her some time and block all external harm. Up@l#o-ad!ed by the M^|%V|L*(-E%MP#YR) t!ea%m+.-
During this period, her life was in Yang Haoran's hands.
Seeing Xu Meijing quickly enter a state, Yang Haoran didn't hesitate and immediately set up a protective barrier around her body, protecting her within.
Considering that he didn't want Xu Meijing to be affected by external disturbances, the protective barrier he set up not only could resist external harm but also isolate external sounds.
As long as the protective barrier wasn't broken, Xu Meijing inside wouldn't be harmed, and external sounds wouldn't be able to penetrate the barrier and affect her refining of the soul pill.
Setting up a protective barrier took him only an instant, and it wouldn't consume much of his time. After successfully setting it up, he turned his gaze back to the distant area where the three people were fiercely battling.
In just that instant, the battle between the three people had undergone an unexpected change!
Originally, Zhong Siyu's strength was continuously rising, and she was suppressing Zhang Changchun and his son, but now she had suddenly fallen into a disadvantageous position, being fiercely attacked by Zhang Changchun and his son.
This scene made Yang Haoran's eyes widen in surprise, as he felt that Zhong Siyu's explosive power would soon kill Zhang Changchun and his son, but he didn't expect the situation to take such a drastic turn!
With a shocked expression, he only needed to take a glance to discover the problem.
At this moment, Zhong Siyu's power was fluctuating wildly, extremely unstable, which was why the situation had taken such an unexpected turn!
Yang Haoran's eyebrows furrowed as he couldn't understand why Zhong Siyu's power had suddenly become so unstable.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed slightly, with a shocked expression in his eyes.
"Could it be that she..."
Before he could finish his thought, Zhong Siyu's cold laughter echoed in the area.
"I'm about to break through, so I won't play with you guys anymore. You're lucky today, but next time, you won't have such good luck."
Zhong Siyu's cold laughter was accompanied by a sudden surge in her power, which not only easily repelled Zhang Changchun and his son's attack but also dealt them a certain amount of damage.
Originally, Zhang Changchun and his son had the upper hand, but before they could fully vent their anger on Zhong Siyu, they fell into a disadvantageous position again.
However, this time, Zhong Siyu didn't continue to attack them, as she wanted to leave immediately, which was evident from her words.
"You think you can escape? Dream on!"
Zhang Changchun's father roared in anger, as Zhong Siyu's internal power was currently unstable, making it the best time to deal with her. If they missed this opportunity, they might not have another chance, and Zhong Siyu might even seek revenge on the Zhang family, which would put them on the brink of destruction.
So, no matter what, he couldn't let Zhong Siyu escape.
