Realm of the Night God

In the eyes of the two demon hunters, as long as no one else intervened, they were certain to emerge victorious against Xu Meijing and Ye Zhiqiu.

However, if other powers intervened or someone played a hidden trick, the final outcome would be unpredictable.

Yang Haoran's strength was something the two demon hunters had never taken seriously, but now that they faced two opponents of the same realm, if Yang Haoran were to play a hidden trick, it would be quite troublesome.

Xu Meijing and Ye Zhiqiu both knew that the two demon hunters would definitely look for an opportunity to attack Yang Haoran, so they both used their full strength to stall the demon hunters and buy time for Yang Haoran.

However, their strength was still inferior to that of the two demon hunters, and even with their full effort, they could not hold them back. Instead, they suffered a certain degree of injury under the demon hunters' fierce attack.

At this time, the two demon hunters had already set up a protective barrier around themselves. This barrier was not meant to defend against external attacks but to isolate the deadly poison that Yang Haoran had secretly released in the area.

After the battle between the two sides began, the male demon hunter warned his wife that the area was filled with deadly poison, and they had no antidote, so they could only choose to use this method to isolate the poison.

Earlier, when only Yang Haoran and the male demon hunter were present, the male demon hunter did not use this method to isolate the poison. It was not because he had not thought of it, but because he did not deign to do so. He felt that it was beneath him, and even if he were poisoned, he could still easily kill Yang Haoran.

However, with Xu Meijing and Ye Zhiqiu present, the situation was different. If they did not isolate the poison, they would be directly affected, which would weaken their combat strength and even put their lives at risk. Therefore, they decided to set up a protective barrier around themselves to isolate the poison.

Roar!!!

A beastly roar echoed through heaven and earth, and a giant green bear condensed into form, charging towards Yang Haoran's position.

The green bear was extremely fast, its massive body like a mountain crushing down on Yang Haoran. In the blink of an eye, it reached Yang Haoran's head.

Xu Meijing saw this and panicked. She tried to stabilize her body in mid-air to block the attack, but it was too late.

Ye Zhiqiu's opponent was the female demon hunter, but he was also keeping an eye on the battle between Xu Meijing and the male demon hunter. When the male demon hunter forced Xu Meijing back, he knew that the demon hunter would definitely take the opportunity to attack Yang Haoran.

So, he made a quick dodge, avoiding the female demon hunter's fierce attack, and then struck towards Yang Haoran's position with his sword.

As he swung his sword, the faint scarlet flowers on the sword blade suddenly emitted a red glow, their color changing from faint to deep. In an instant, they became as red as blood.

A thick, sweet fragrance filled the air, and a miniature Red Lotus suddenly appeared above Yang Haoran's head. These Red Lotuses were small but numerous, quickly gathering together to form a red storm that actively confronted the incoming green bear!

The two collided, but there was no massive explosion as expected. The red storm formed by the numerous Red Lotuses directly enveloped the green bear, and the seemingly weak flower petals were like sharp blades, constantly cutting into the bear's massive body.

The bear let out an angry roar, its thick paws constantly swatting at the incoming Red Lotuses. With each swipe, many Red Lotuses were smashed, dispersing into spiritual light.

The bear itself, under the constant cutting of the Red Lotuses, rapidly shrank and became illusory.

However, compared to the Red Lotuses, the bear's situation was slightly better. At this rate, the Red Lotuses would soon be completely dispersed by the bear.

Although Ye Zhiqiu's sword was not as strong as the male demon hunter's, he managed to temporarily block the attack. If he hadn't, Yang Haoran might have died from the blow. Ye Zhiqiu's defense was unable to withstand the attack, and the dense pure yin qi inside would have been dispersed.

Ye Zhiqiu intervened to block the attack for Yang Haoran, but his distraction gave the female demon hunter an opportunity!

The female demon hunter's wooden sword seemed to come alive, and she fiercely shook the sword blade. The tough vines on the sword suddenly appeared around Ye Zhiqiu's body, binding his hands.

These vines wrapped around Ye Zhiqiu's hands, with one end entering the void in front of him. Although they were not large, they were exceptionally sturdy.

Ye Zhiqiu knew he couldn't destroy the giant bear with one sword, so he wanted to strike again. However, his hands were suddenly bound by the vines, preventing him from striking a second time.

The female demon hunter successfully bound Ye Zhiqiu and didn't hesitate to strike. Her wooden sword, wrapped in a large amount of star spiritual power, shot out towards Ye Zhiqiu's heart.

In a state of emergency, Ye Zhiqiu quickly gathered several sword energies and controlled them with his mind to cut off the binding vines. This was a momentary action, but it was enough to delay him. The female demon hunter's wooden sword had already reached his chest.

If the sword had successfully hit his heart, it would have definitely pierced through, and he would have been on the verge of death.

Knowing this, Ye Zhiqiu didn't dare to hesitate. While mobilizing star spiritual power to protect his body, he quickly dodged.

Bang!!

Ye Zhiqiu's defense in front of him failed to block the wooden sword, which penetrated his body instantly. The star spiritual power barrier he formed was like shattered glass.

The hastily set up defense had limited defensive power, and the female demon hunter's strength was originally above his. Moreover, this was her killing blow, using a large amount of star spiritual power. It was impossible for his hastily set up defense to withstand it.

Puff!!

A muffled sound, and the wooden sword directly penetrated Ye Zhiqiu's body, with fresh blood spraying out from the wound.

The female demon hunter's sword had indeed penetrated Ye Zhiqiu's body, but it didn't hit his heart as intended. Instead, it passed through his shoulder.

This wasn't because the female demon hunter's accuracy was poor, but because Ye Zhiqiu had set up a defense while dodging, although he didn't completely dodge, and was lucky to avoid the vital area, preventing the wooden sword from directly piercing his heart.

At the same time, Xu Meijing also struck the giant bear transformed from the male demon hunter's axe!

She saw that Ye Zhiqiu's sword couldn't completely destroy the bear. If the bear wasn't completely destroyed, it would directly hit Yang Haoran after a few more slaps.

With a single slash, a black knife aura tore through the void, carrying a strong killing intent, directly splitting the bear in two. Even the Red Lotus-formed storm was split open by Xu Meijing's sword.

However, just as Xu Meijing had split the bear, a massive axe shadow descended from the sky, directly striking her.

Boom!!

A loud explosion, and Xu Meijing was sent flying by the axe. A series of cracking sounds came from her body, and her indestructible earth soul armor appeared to have cracks, with some parts even falling off. Her face was particularly affected, with half of it shattered, revealing Xu Meijing's pale face.

Puff!!

Xu Meijing spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, clearly having suffered a severe injury.

The male demon hunter's attempt to take Yang Haoran's life was foiled by Xu Meijing and Ye Zhiqiu's joint effort. However, the two of them had paid a significant price to protect Yang Haoran.

Just then, the restriction barrier in this area suddenly came under attack!!!
