Realm of the Night God

Inside the restriction barrier, Yang Haoran saw that he couldn't persuade the male demon hunter, who was determined to kill him. Adding to that, Yang Haoran had also delayed for some time, so he didn't continue to pretend to be weak and instead directly opened his Heaven Soul.

Since he opened his Heaven Soul, it was clear that he was going to go all out against the Three-Star Demon Hunter!

After opening his Heaven Soul, the Three-Star Demon Hunter was shocked by Yang Haoran's strength. He never thought that Yang Haoran's strength had already reached the level of almost opening his Earth Soul!

Logically, this shouldn't have happened. After all, Yang Haoran had only entered the Yin Division for a few years, and according to his understanding, this person was still a nobody, without any powerful backers. So, where did he get the massive amount of pure yin qi needed to boost his strength?

Although the demon hunter was shocked, he didn't show any fear. Even if Yang Haoran hadn't opened his Earth Soul, or even if he had really opened it, a newly opened Earth Soul Underworld Envoy like him wouldn't be intimidated.

However, he did feel that Yang Haoran, this Underworld Envoy, might be hiding some secrets, which would be hard to explain why his strength had increased so rapidly.

As for this secret, he couldn't say he wasn't curious at all, so he made up his mind to kill Yang Haoran and then extract all the secrets from his soul.

The two began to fight, and Yang Haoran went all out, controlling his soul weapon, Waning Moon, to attack the demon hunter while looking for opportunities to use his Ghost Technique.

His opponent was a Three-Star Demon Hunter, and he was just an Underworld Envoy who hadn't opened his Earth Soul, with a huge gap in strength. This forced him to use his strength to the fullest.

Luckily, the demon hunter didn't intend to kill him immediately, as he wanted to wait for his wife to return and take revenge on Yang Haoran, so his attacks weren't full-force.

Under Yang Haoran's control, Waning Moon transformed into a black light, shooting towards the demon hunter at lightning speed, trying to cut off his physical body.

Waning Moon's speed was very fast, but in the eyes of the Three-Star Demon Hunter, it was like a turtle's pace. Although it was fast, it wasn't fast enough.

Waning Moon hadn't even reached the demon hunter when it was hit by a green star spiritual power, and the black and green powers collided, producing a massive explosion. Waning Moon couldn't withstand such a powerful force and shattered, dispersing into yin qi.

The demon hunter's star spiritual power didn't dissipate completely after shattering Yang Haoran's soul weapon, Waning Moon. The remaining power shot towards Yang Haoran's back.

Yang Haoran's hands, which were forming a seal, suddenly stopped, and he let out a low, muffled roar.

"Ghost Technique Yin Qi Shield!"

The Yin Qi Shield had just formed when the remaining star spiritual power, carrying a strong aura and power fluctuations, engulfed him.

Boom!!

The powerful Yin Qi Shield shattered, following in the footsteps of Waning Moon, and although the star spiritual power was just a remnant, it was still not something Yang Haoran's Yin Qi Shield could defend against.

The Yin Qi Shield shattered, and the explosion formed a shockwave that injured Yang Haoran, sending his body flying tens of meters before he finally managed to stabilize himself in mid-air.

His internal energy and blood surged, and he felt an urge to vomit blood, but he forced himself to swallow it back down.

"Not bad, I wonder how many more times you can withstand."

The demon hunter sneered, and as he spoke, he swung his hand towards Yang Haoran.

A star spiritual power burst out, and this star spiritual power was much stronger than the previous one.

He had to increase his strength because the previous attack didn't meet his expectations, so he had to change this point right now!

Facing the incoming star spiritual power, Yang Haoran endured the surging energy inside his body, and his hands quickly formed a seal. Due to his speed, his fingers even created a few afterimages.

"Ghost Technique Netherworld Ice Mirror!"

A huge ghost head suddenly condensed into shape, biting an ice mirror in its mouth. The demon hunter's star spiritual power was blocked by the ice mirror in its mouth.

However, in the blink of an eye, the star spiritual power was completely absorbed into the ice mirror. But instead of reflecting the attack back, the ice mirror violently trembled and then exploded.

Although the Netherworld Ice Mirror could reflect the opponent's attack, it was conditional. If the attack exceeded the mirror's limits, it wouldn't be able to reflect the attack and would directly shatter.

It was like a balloon - as long as it didn't exceed its limits, it could release the air back out, but if it exceeded its limits, it would naturally burst.

Similarly, the demon hunter's attack was too strong, and the Netherworld Ice Mirror couldn't withstand it, so it shattered. CatchtheformattedversionatM|V|LEM_PYR.

Yang Haoran knew the Netherworld Ice Mirror couldn't block the demon hunter's attack, so after successfully casting the technique, he immediately retreated to avoid being hit by the explosion's shockwave.

Although he managed to dodge the shockwave, the Netherworld Ice Mirror's explosion still caused him some backlash.

The energy inside his body, which was already surging, couldn't be suppressed anymore, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out of his mouth.

Yang Haoran had indeed spit out blood, but the demon hunter was still not satisfied. He frowned slightly, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Two consecutive attacks had given him absolute superiority, and he had also dealt Yang Haoran a certain amount of damage. However, this damage didn't meet his expectations.

He let out a cold snort, which clearly revealed his anger, and then stretched out his arm to punch Yang Haoran's location!

Yang Haoran had just stabilized his body, and the fresh blood at the corner of his mouth hadn't even been wiped away. Seeing the demon hunter's punch, he hurriedly tried to dodge.

But just at this moment, a star spiritual power suddenly appeared, like an invisible Great Hand, grasping his body tightly. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't escape from this invisible Great Hand.

Yang Haoran knew the opponent was determined to cripple him and wouldn't give him another chance. Although he understood this, he wouldn't give up and would still resist with all his might.

In this situation, his body was restrained and couldn't move, so he naturally couldn't form a seal to cast the Ghost Technique.

Moreover, even if he could form a seal, it was too late, because a huge green fist shadow was already rapidly approaching him. At this speed, his Ghost Technique wouldn't be able to keep up, and he would definitely be hit first.

In desperation, he could only use his mind to condense the soul weapon Waning Moon again!

The Yin Qi in front of him surged, and Waning Moon condensed into shape in an instant. A buzzing sound erupted, and Waning Moon's size increased, blocking in front of Yang Haoran.

Boom!!

The fist shadow hit Waning Moon, and like before, Waning Moon couldn't withstand the demon hunter's attack. It only lasted for an instant before being shattered by the fist shadow. The fist shadow's power was only partially consumed, and the remaining majority of its power landed squarely on Yang Haoran's body.

Boom!!

Another explosion, and Yang Haoran was sent flying, spitting out a large amount of fresh blood. His face turned pale in an instant.

The demon hunter's punch had directly dealt Yang Haoran a severe injury. If this punch were stronger, even with Waning Moon sharing some of the power, he would still be dead for sure.

In just a few short exchanges, Yang Haoran had been beaten from his peak state to a severe injury, and the opponent hadn't even used his full strength, nor had he used his demonic weapon. The gap in their strength was too great, and although it was only a difference of one realm, it was like an insurmountable ocean.
