Realm of the Night God

The Soul Summoning Bell's volume increased, and the patterns on its body became more prominent. The blood-red hands on the bell seemed even more lifelike, as if they could stretch out from the bell at any moment, giving people a more terrifying feeling.

Master Wu looked at the large black bell in front of him, then stretched out his right hand and lightly tapped his finger on it, releasing a surge of Yin spirit power that struck the bell.

The bell rang out, and although it seemed similar to a normal bell at first, upon closer listening, it was clear that this bell's sound was different. It seemed to be able to shake people's souls and guide their hearts to follow the bell's rhythm.

At that moment, Eldest Son Wu and Second Son Wu felt the same way. When the bell rang out, they felt their souls suddenly become uncontrollable, and they couldn't help but want to follow the bell's sound.

In contrast, the spirit master and his Guardian Spirit reacted completely differently. When the bell rang out, their bodies trembled simultaneously, and the Guardian Spirit's eyes revealed a bewildered expression, as if it had been petrified. Its soul body remained motionless, and it even gave up resisting the Netherworld Ice Mirror's counterattack.

The spirit master, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was already motionless, but when he heard the Soul Summoning Bell's sound, his body trembled slightly.

Boom!!

The Netherworld Ice Mirror's counterattack had not been fully blocked, and without the Guardian Spirit's full resistance, the empowered rocks, trees, and weeds directly struck the Guardian Spirit's soul body, scattering it. Some even hit the spirit master below.

The explosions continued, and the dust and smoke billowed. The Guardian Spirit's scattered soul body recondensed, and when it reformed, its gaze first fell on Master Wu's soul weapon, the Soul Summoning Bell. Its blood-red eyes were filled with shock and horror. The full series is hosted on My Virtual Library Empire, known as MV7LEMPYR.

If it weren't for the subsequent attack that scattered its soul body, making it regain its senses, it didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

The Guardian Spirit's soul body was injured, and even after recondensing, the injury remained. Its strength was also weakened as a result.

After the initial shock, it suddenly remembered a more important matter - its spirit master.

It hastily looked down, but the billowing dust and smoke obscured its vision. It mobilized its internal power to stir up a gust of Yin wind, blowing away the dust and smoke, revealing the scene on the ground below.

The ground below was in shambles, with withered branches and leaves scattered everywhere. Trees of varying lengths were either deeply embedded in the mud or stuck into the ground, and large rocks had smashed the ground into a mess of holes. The spirit master was situated amidst this wreckage.

At that time, the spirit master's body was still covered in black lines from the poison, although the color was slightly lighter than before. From this, it was clear that the poison in his body had been somewhat controlled, but not completely expelled.

His physical body was now covered in wounds, with dark red blood flowing out of the wounds, and his weak breathing made him look extremely miserable.

When the Soul Summoning Bell rang out, the spirit master, who was in the process of expelling the poison, was also affected. However, his strength was much greater than his Guardian Spirit's, but his reaction speed was not comparable to his Guardian Spirit's. He only hesitated for a moment before reacting, realizing the danger and mobilizing his internal spiritual power to protect his body.

The hastily set up defense didn't allow him to completely block the attack, but it did save his life. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough or if the Soul Summoning Bell's sound had a greater impact on him, he would have become a corpse by now.

The initial test of the soul weapon, the Soul Summoning Bell, was quite effective. Although it didn't kill the target in one strike, the spirit master was now on his last legs, posing no significant threat to Master Wu at this time.

As for the Spirit Master's Guardian Spirit, after being dispersed once, its strength was fundamentally not as good as before. As long as they could take down the Spirit Master, who was barely holding on, capturing the Guardian Spirit would be a piece of cake.

Master Wu was still very satisfied with his soul weapon's abilities, but it did consume some Yin spirit power. Even a casual strike would be a significant drain on his internal Yin spirit power.

Just now, he didn't dare use his full strength, after all, it was his first time using it, and he wasn't sure what would happen. But this time, he was prepared to increase his attack power and take down the Spirit Master and his Guardian Spirit in one go, and then go support Yang Haoran.

Previously, he didn't dare go support Yang Haoran because he hadn't opened his Heaven Soul, and his strength was limited. Any so-called support would have been a burden to Yang Haoran.

But now that he had opened his Heaven Soul, he had his own soul weapon, and his strength was no longer what it used to be. Going to support Yang Haoran would definitely have some effect.

Master Wu didn't waste any words. When he saw the Spirit Master's weakened state, he prepared to activate the Soul Summoning Bell again, to take down the Spirit Master first.

Just as he was about to make his move, the barrier covering the area suddenly dissipated on its own!

This scene made Second Son Wu's face reveal a look of surprise and delight, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, like he had been given a second chance.

However, Eldest Son Wu and Master Wu's reactions were the opposite of Second Son Wu's. The two of them furrowed their brows, and their faces turned ugly.

The restriction barrier in this area was set up by the Spirit Master. If it suddenly dissipated without being attacked, it meant that the Spirit Master might have done it on purpose.

Why did the Spirit Master do this? The reason was simple: because he realized his current situation was very dangerous. By dispersing the restriction barrier, he could release the power fluctuations in the area, and the female demon hunter who was searching for Master Wu and the others would definitely sense it.

As long as the female demon hunter sensed the power fluctuations, she would definitely arrive at the scene in no time. By then, the Spirit Master would be saved, because no matter what, he had a cooperative relationship with the two demon hunters, and the couple still needed him to take the fall for them, so they wouldn't abandon him to die.

Even if the female demon hunter really didn't care about his life, as long as she took down Master Wu and the others, his threat would naturally disappear, and he would have time to save himself.

Master Wu didn't know that the female demon hunter had also broken through the barrier, but he understood that the Spirit Master's actions were definitely to attract attention, to find a way to survive.

"I told you, you're going to die today, and no one can save you!"

Master Wu spoke in a low voice, and then waved his hand, re-establishing a restriction barrier in the area. Although this remedial measure might not be effective, because the power fluctuations they released might have already been sensed by someone with ill intentions, it was still a rational move to make, just in case no one had sensed the power fluctuations.

At the moment the barrier re-formed, the Spirit Master let out a furious roar. In this situation, he didn't have the heart to worry about the severe poison in his body, and could only mobilize a large amount of spiritual power to temporarily suppress the poison. What he needed to do now was to find a way to survive, to drag out time as much as possible, and wait for the female demon hunter to arrive.

He believed that the female demon hunter must have sensed the power fluctuations when the barrier dissipated, and as long as he could drag it out until she arrived, his life would be saved!

"Hold him back for me!"

The Spirit Master gave an order to his Guardian Spirit. When he gave the order, he had already begun to form a seal with his hands.

The Guardian Spirit received the order and immediately prepared to use its full strength, including its illusion realm and object control powers, to attack Master Wu. Although this would cause a significant drain on the Spirit Master's strength, and might not have much effect, he had to do it to survive.

However, Master Wu's speed was faster than the Spirit Master and his Guardian Spirit. When the Spirit Master gave the order, and the Guardian Spirit prepared to use all its strength to hold him back, Master Wu activated the Soul Summoning Bell again, and a louder bell sound than before resonated within the restriction barrier
