Chapter 793: A Solid Reason
At this moment, the old woman had already turned around and released her power to bind Wang Yiming and Jiang Die. When she heard Yang Haoran's words, she immediately responded.
"What's with you meddling in everything? If someone deserves to die, then kill them. If someone deserves to be robbed, then rob them. That's the only way to quickly improve yourself. You don't say it, I don't say it, who knows who did it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Yiming and Jiang Die were already bound by her released Talisman Spirit Power. For two people who couldn't move, it was just a matter of waving her hand to bind them.
However, just at this moment, the old woman suddenly realized that Yang Haoran's words were off. Yang Haoran was saying that the consequences of the Underworld Envoy attacking another Underworld Envoy were not the same as the consequences of the Underworld Envoy being attacked by another Underworld Envoy!
Realizing the mistake in Yang Haoran's words, the old woman's hunched body trembled slightly. She didn't have time to react before feeling a strong surge of Yin Qi coming from behind her.
The old woman knew something was wrong and didn't have time to care about Wang Yiming and Jiang Die. She threw the bound pair to the side and simultaneously dodged towards a distant location.
Boom!!
A Yin spirit power hit the spot where she was previously standing, directly blasting a large hole in the ground. Mud and rocks flew everywhere, with some even landing on the old woman's body.
The old woman stabilized her body in the distance, glaring at Yang Haoran with anger.
What was Yang Haoran doing? The old woman knew exactly what he was up to - he was preparing to kill her. But sadly, even at this point, she still thought Yang Haoran's brain was not functioning properly and wanted to continue to deceive him.
"Of course, I want to be a hero. However, our Yin Division has regulations. If an Underworld Envoy intentionally kills another Underworld Envoy, it's a capital offense. If an outsider instigates an Underworld Envoy to kill another Underworld Envoy, it's also a capital offense. I've always followed the laws of our Yin Division, and compared to the Yin Division's Death God Manifestation, being a hero is nothing but a fart."
Yang Haoran's words were so convincing, his acting skills so impressive, that it was unclear whether he was telling the truth or not. The old woman was also deceived by Yang Haoran's words, and according to her understanding of him, Yang Haoran was a person who only cared about personal gain and would do anything for benefits. But now, Yang Haoran's behavior was the opposite of what she knew.
For a moment, the old woman felt unsure about what was true or false, unsure whether her understanding of Yang Haoran was wrong or if he was intentionally pretending to be upright in front of her.
Before she could figure out Yang Haoran's true intentions, he spoke again.
"Old Talisman Master, your conditions are indeed tempting, but unfortunately, you've met me, Yang Haoran. I'm not someone who would ignore the laws of the Yin Division for personal gain. Without rules, there's no square inch of land. In my heart, nothing is more important than the laws of the Yin Division!"
Although the old woman didn't know whether Yang Haoran's words were true or false, one thing was certain - their cooperation had failed!
"You dare to play me!"
The old woman was furious, her face cold and angry as she scolded Yang Haoran.
"Hehe, please, old Talisman Master, don't speak nonsense. You're already at an old age, and I wouldn't dare play you. If this gets out, it would ruin my reputation."
Yang Haoran's words only made the old woman angrier, her body trembling with rage as she grasped her cane, her hand making a cracking sound. She had lived to this age and had never been toyed with like this before.
"I gave you face, Yin Division, so I called you Yang Divine Envoy. I didn't expect you to take it seriously. Since you're not cooperating and seeking death, I'll grant your wish!"
The old woman's angry voice rang out, and she slammed her cane on the ground, producing a series of black talismans from her independent space. At least ten of them floated in front of her.
Under her control, the black talismans shot towards Yang Haoran.
As the old woman took out the talismans, Yang Haoran quickly formed hand seals. When she controlled the talismans to attack him, his hand seals stopped moving.
"Ghost Technique Ghost Slaying Soul Chain!" This content was first released on MV_LEMPYR.
A low, solemn voice came from Yang Haoran's mouth, and a powerful energy fluctuation burst out from his body, far surpassing the old woman's.
The appearance of this energy fluctuation shocked the old woman, who had never thought that Yang Haoran's power would be so much stronger than hers.
According to her understanding, Yang Haoran's strength should be weaker than hers, but the power he released was not only stronger but also far surpassed hers.
She could accept that her understanding had errors, but she couldn't accept that the error would be so huge!
However, she didn't know that the power Yang Haoran released was only a small part of his total strength. If she knew, she wouldn't have dared to appear in front of Yang Haoran today, let alone try to deceive him.
The old woman's heart was still reeling from the shock, and she hadn't had time to react when the talismans she had released clashed with Yang Haoran's Ghost Slaying Soul Chain.
Yang Haoran didn't use the Ghost Slaying Soul Chain to its full extent because he didn't need to against an opponent like the old woman, a black talisman master. He only casually used the technique, and the three Ghost Slaying Soul Chains he released were enough.
Although there were only three chains, their power was formidable. At least in the old woman's eyes, the power released by the three chains was terrifying.
Under a loud explosion, the old woman's multiple black talismans were instantly shattered by the three Ghost Slaying Soul Chains. After being shattered, the three chains attacked the old woman from different directions, forming a encirclement that trapped her, cutting off all her escape routes.
With her escape routes blocked, the old woman had no choice but to defend herself. She wanted to mobilize her own strength to defend herself and take out more talismans from her independent space to counter the current passive situation, but she didn't have time to do either before her physical body was overwhelmed by the three Ghost Slaying Soul Chains.
A loud explosion sounded, and the ground shook violently. The old woman's location erupted in a massive dust cloud, and her screams echoed from within. The three Ghost Slaying Soul Chains writhed and twisted, visible through the dust cloud.
The screams didn't last long, and after a few seconds, they stopped. A dark wind dispersed the dust cloud, revealing the scene beneath.
The old woman's location had been blasted into a large crater, with scattered limbs and fresh blood flowing everywhere. A blood-stained cane was tightly grasped by a severed hand.
Yang Haoran flashed to the front of the crater, looked down at the scattered limbs, and smiled faintly.
"Heh, I don't deny that I'm sometimes foolish, but I'm not always foolish. At least when facing you, I'm not foolish. You, on the other hand, thought I was foolish, so I can only apologize to you."
Yang Haoran smiled faintly, then forcibly extracted the old woman's soul and condensed it into a spirit.
He had actually seen through the old woman's deception, who had promised him empty favors just to prevent him from intervening, so she could easily take away Wang Yiming and Jiang Die.
In fact, even if the old woman wasn't deceiving him, he wouldn't have handed over Wang Yiming to her. As for Jiang Die, he didn't care whether she was taken away or not.
He hadn't immediately attacked the old woman because he needed a reason to do so, a solid reason.
After all, the Yin Division of the Jingling Continent was no longer as powerful as before, and the Fu Sect was a massive entity. Without a solid reason, attacking the Fu Sect's black talisman master would bring him huge trouble, so he had deliberately set a trap to let the old woman say those suicidal words.
If only Wang Yiming had escaped here today, he wouldn't have needed to bother, and he could have simply killed the old woman. But with Jiang Die present, he had to be careful, because he didn't trust this woman and didn't want to leave any handles in her hands.
