Chapter 746: Submission and Anxiety
Yang Haoran's words made Zhang Changchun's father pause for a moment.
After reacting, his face turned ugly because he sensed a strong killing intent from Yang Haoran's response.
"Yang Divine Envoy, I'm also someone who has seen the world, so you don't need to intimidate me. I'm not afraid of your threats. If you really push me to the limit..."
Yang Haoran was worried about Xu Meijing, so he didn't want to waste time talking to Zhang Changchun's father. He took out a soul pill from his independent space and swallowed it in one gulp.
Zhang Changchun's father was in the middle of speaking, trying to use a combination of soft and hard tactics to achieve his goal, but he suddenly stopped when he saw this scene.
It was only then that he remembered a question: he didn't have a way to recover his consumed energy, nor did he have any items to help him recover. But that didn't mean Yang Haoran didn't have any.
As the Underworld Envoy, Yang Haoran wanted to recover his consumed Yin spirit power, and taking a soul pill was the fastest way to do so.
Previously, Zhang Changchun's father had tried to extract all the soul pills from Yang Haoran before killing him, but Yang Haoran didn't fall for it.
At the time, he wasn't sure if Yang Haoran really had soul pills, because it was impossible to judge based on Yang Haoran's words alone. But the current scene explained everything.
With this clear in his mind, he didn't hesitate at all. His soul body dispersed into a cloud of Yin Qi and quickly escaped into the distance.
He had tried to escape before, but it didn't work.
This time, he knew the chances of success were low, but he couldn't give up just because of that. He had to try, even if it meant he might not succeed.
Yang Haoran had anticipated that Zhang Changchun's father would try to escape, so he had made preparations in advance. When Zhang Changchun's father's soul body transformed into a cloud of Yin Qi and rushed out, a chain made of condensed Yin spirit power suddenly appeared, weaving into a large net that blocked his path.
Due to the speed being too fast, and the chain appearing suddenly, Zhang Changchun's father didn't have time to react before his soul body, in the form of Yin Qi, collided with the net.
An ordinary net wouldn't be able to block any gas, including the Yin Qi of a soul body. But the net woven from the chains was different. It was made of condensed Yin spirit power, and neither soul bodies nor Yin Qi could pass through it directly.
When Zhang Changchun's father collided with the net, it immediately closed in, trying to trap him inside.
His face changed drastically, and he quickly mobilized his power to tear open a hole in the net. But before he could escape through the hole, Yang Haoran's soul weapon, Waning Moon, appeared and struck his soul body, cutting the cloud of Yin Qi into two pieces.
Because Yang Haoran had just taken a soul pill, his Yin spirit power hadn't fully recovered, so the power of his technique was limited. That's why Zhang Changchun's father was able to tear open the net.
However, if the battle continued for a little while longer, the difference between the two would become apparent.
Although the net didn't succeed in trapping Zhang Changchun's father, Waning Moon still dealt significant damage to his soul body. This chapter was originally posted on M^VLEMPYR.
"Yang Haoran, leave a thread of hope for the future. Don't be too ruthless!"
The two clouds of Yin Qi recondensed and continued to escape in one direction, with Zhang Changchun's father's voice coming from the Yin Qi.
Yang Haoran didn't bother to listen to Zhang Changchun's father's nonsense, thinking that "seeing each other in the future" was just a joke. If he didn't take down this old guy, he wouldn't be able to face himself today, let alone in the future.
The two sides clashed again, but this time Zhang Changchun's father was determined to escape, not wanting to continue fighting. On the other hand, Yang Haoran's thoughts were the exact opposite.
After exchanging several blows, Zhang Changchun's father felt Yang Haoran's change. After taking the soul pill, Yang Haoran became more courageous and powerful, while he himself grew weaker.
He knew he was in trouble and would lose in no time if he continued like this. However, he had no way to change the situation and could only anxiously wait.
The soul body was dispersed again by the Waning Moon, and Zhang Changchun's father was frantic. He hastily shouted at Yang Haoran.
"Yang Divine Envoy If you spare my life, we can discuss anything We can still be friends in the future!"
The response he got was a soul gathering bead. Chains burst out of the bead, like poisonous snakes, and bound his dispersed soul body at lightning speed, then forcibly pulled him into the bead.
Zhang Changchun's father shouted and struggled, but his current strength was no match for the chains. He could only watch as he was dragged into the bead.
A blank soul gathering bead turned pitch black due to Zhang Changchun's father's "residence," like a flawless black gemstone.
Even after being forced into the bead, Zhang Changchun's father continued to struggle, causing the entire bead to vibrate slightly.
Yang Haoran waved his hand, and the vibrating bead flew towards him, hovering above his palm.
As the bead's vibrations grew stronger, Yang Haoran's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Zhang Changchun's father was different from ordinary ghosts. He was not only a malevolent spirit but also a powerful entity close to the Ghost King. Although he was currently weak, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. This level of malevolent spirit required careful handling to avoid unexpected consequences.
Thinking of this, Yang Haoran immediately activated his Yin spirit power and placed a seal on the soul gathering bead.
As soon as the seal was applied, the vibrating bead calmed down. A ferocious ghost face materialized inside the bead, shouting at Yang Haoran, but the sounds didn't escape the bead, so it was unclear what he was saying.
However, judging from his mouth shape, the words were likely curses rather than compliments.
Yang Haoran ignored Zhang Changchun's father's insults, his current concern being Xu Meijing. He didn't have the heart to waste time on a subdued ghost.
He stored the soul gathering bead in his independent space and didn't even bother to glance at the various treasures that Zhang Changchun had collected from his independent space. Instead, he rushed towards the location of the protective barrier.
At this time, the protective barrier was filled with dense Yin Qi. With the naked eye, one could only see a black mist, but Yang Haoran's ghost eye, which was always active, allowed him to see clearly.
His ghost eye pierced through the Yin Qi, clearly seeing Xu Meijing's current situation, which was the same as before. Xu Meijing's face was contorted in pain, as if experiencing some kind of unbearable torture.
Yang Haoran quickly dispersed the protective barrier and appeared beside Xu Meijing. He reached out to sense Xu Meijing's physical condition, but his hand suddenly stopped.
Because he considered another issue.
If he touched Xu Meijing and examined her body, wouldn't that be too rash? Might Xu Meijing's situation worsen due to his disturbance?
This was a common and normal occurrence.
It was precisely because he considered this that he stopped his hand, as he didn't dare to determine whether Xu Meijing could withstand his disturbance at this time.
Just as he was hesitant, a voice suddenly entered his ear.
"I'm fine, don't worry. You should clean up the battlefield first, then take me away from here and find a quiet place. I still need some time."
The sudden speaker was none other than Xu Meijing herself.
