Realm of the Night God

The moment the Heaven Soul opened, Yang Haoran's power fluctuation suddenly increased exponentially, enveloping his entire body in a dense, rich Yin Qi.

Boom!!!

A loud explosion sounded, but Yang Haoran's body didn't move an inch. However, the protective Yin Qi around him was dispersed by the demon hunter's attack.

"Huh?"

The demon hunter's face changed slightly, and a questioning tone escaped his lips.

To avoid killing Yang Haoran with a single blow, the demon hunter had intentionally held back, using only a casual strike.

In his opinion, Yang Haoran had only entered the Yin Division a few years ago, so his strength couldn't be that impressive. A casual strike would be enough to cripple him.

But the result was beyond his expectations. Not only did Yang Haoran block the attack, but his body didn't even flinch. Moreover, the powerful power fluctuation emanating from Yang Haoran was far beyond what an Underworld Envoy who had only entered the Yin Division a few years ago could possess.

"Your strength is incredible. Judging from the power fluctuation you released, you're probably about to open your Earth Soul!"

"Heh heh, my strength is nothing compared to yours, senior. But you're right; I'm about to open my Earth Soul."

Yang Haoran smiled, his facial expression changing from flattering to a calm, gentle smile.

He knew that trying to deceive the demon hunter with words was no longer possible. In this situation, he could only give up using this tactic, as the demon hunter was not buying it.

So, he might as well collide with the demon hunter head-on. It was unthinkable to let the demon hunter bully him without fighting back.

Additionally, he had mentally calculated the time, trying to stall the demon hunter for a bit longer. The help he needed should arrive soon.

"Heh heh, I underestimated you. I didn't expect a mere ant who had only entered the Yin Division for a few years to possess such strength. This is indeed surprising, and I must admit it. However, do you think you have the qualifications to rival me with your current strength?"

The demon hunter sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. As he spoke, he launched another attack on Yang Haoran.

As a Three-Star Demon Hunter, he had his own pride, so he didn't use his demonic weapon against Yang Haoran. Instead, he relied solely on his powerful star spiritual power, believing that Yang Haoran didn't deserve to be attacked with a demonic weapon. Only an enemy who could sit on an equal footing with him was worthy of being attacked with a demonic weapon.

Yang Haoran, of course, didn't dare to be as arrogant as the demon hunter. The moment the demon hunter attacked, he immediately summoned his soul weapon, Waning Moon, to counter the star spiritual power. At the same time, he quickly formed hand seals to cast the Ghost Technique.

Meanwhile, Master Wu and the others were experiencing a different scenario.

After Yang Haoran was forcibly pulled back into the barrier, Master Wu received the four talismans sent by Yang Haoran. Among them, three talismans were unfamiliar to him, as he wasn't a talisman master and had limited knowledge of talismans. This content was first released on MV_LEMPYR.

Ordinary talismans were recognizable to Master Wu, but lost talismans like the escape talisman were unknown to him.

However, he did recognize the Sound Transmission Talisman, as he possessed one himself and wouldn't mistake it.

Yang Haoran had given him a Sound Transmission Talisman before being trapped in the barrier. Master Wu quickly understood the reason behind this and didn't hesitate to activate the talisman.

As the Sound Transmission Talisman was activated, he had just reported the name "Lecheng Severed Head Mountain" when he noticed the Barrier Light Curtain tremble slightly.

He knew someone was pursuing them.

In this situation, Master Wu made a decisive decision, giving up any further conversation. Without saying another word, he immediately dispersed the Sound Transmission Talisman, sending the information out.

The moment the Sound Transmission Talisman turned to ashes, the spirit master burst out of the Barrier Light Curtain. Second son Wu was shocked, and Master Wu quickly controlled the three escape talismans to attach them to their bodies.

Although he didn't know what kind of talismans they were, his past experience told him that they should be extraordinary talismans capable of escaping.

He didn't dare to be 100% certain that his analysis was correct, but under the current circumstances, he could only believe that his analysis was correct.

Moreover, apart from this talisman, he couldn't think of what other talisman Yang Haoran would give him at this critical moment.

He didn't foolishly try to confront the opponent head-on, nor did he want to rush into the barrier to rescue Yang Haoran, because he knew his own strength was limited, and trying to help Yang Haoran would only drag him down. Instead, he decided to take his two sons and leave first, and then think of a way to rescue Yang Haoran, which was the most rational thing to do.

When the talisman was stuck on the three of them, the spirit master also launched an attack on Master Wu, the strongest of the three. However, his attack didn't hit Master Wu, and Master Wu's body shrank into the ground.

Not only Master Wu, but Eldest son Wu and Second son Wu also shrank into the ground at the same time.

The spirit master witnessed this scene, but instead of getting angry, he smiled playfully, as if he wasn't worried that Master Wu and his sons would escape from his hands, even with their magical escape talisman.

As for the Sound Transmission Talisman that had turned to ashes, the spirit master didn't discover it, because at the moment he broke through the barrier, the Sound Transmission Talisman had already turned to ashes, and the barrier was black, with Yin Qi rising from within, making it impossible to see clearly from inside the barrier.

After the spirit master, the female demon hunter also broke through the barrier and found that Master Wu and his sons had disappeared. The female demon hunter immediately gave the spirit master a cold look, her eyes full of disdain.

She thought her man was right, and this spirit master's ability to get things done was indeed poor. He was the first to break through the barrier, but he didn't catch the target, which made her unhappy.

The female demon hunter didn't say anything and left directly, planning to search for Master Wu and his sons on her own.

The spirit master saw the female demon hunter's attitude and knew what she was thinking. He didn't stop her from leaving, but instead stood still, slowly closing his eyes as if sensing something.

After a short while, the spirit master opened his eyes, smiled coldly, and then fixed his gaze on a direction. His body was wrapped in a surge of Yin Qi and took off, chasing after them. The direction he chose was opposite to the female demon hunter's.

At this moment, Master Wu looked at the spirit master in front of him, his face turning very ugly. The three of them had just escaped here not long ago, and this spirit master had already appeared, setting up a restriction barrier that trapped them inside.

Eldest son Wu had a similar expression to Master Wu, very ugly. He thought they had escaped, but didn't expect the opponent to catch up so quickly, cutting off their escape route. His face naturally wouldn't look good.

However, although his face was ugly, Eldest son Wu didn't show a hint of fear. This was in stark contrast to his brother Second son Wu, who looked at the spirit master with a cold smile and showed fear on his face, his body trembling involuntarily. It was clear that his heart was filled with fear.

If it were usual times, Master Wu would definitely scold his son for being useless, but he didn't have time to waste on Second son Wu now. All his attention was focused on the spirit master.

"Heh heh, you must be very surprised, right? Why I could find you in such a short time? Is it not?"

The spirit master smiled and asked Master Wu, his eyes playful, with a cat-and-mouse feeling.

Master Wu didn't respond, nor did he get angry or feel surprised. He continued to smile and said, "You two sons had Sealing Techniques planted on you earlier, although Yang Haoran broke them, but the power belonging to me still remained in your bodies. This power won't harm the target and will completely disappear with time. However, before I locked onto your location, the power in your bodies hadn't completely dissipated, and as the master, I can sense the existence of this power within a certain distance. Finding you through this power is just a trivial matter."
