Realm of the Night God

Chapter 607: Counterattack Showdown

When Yang Haoran attacked the Guardian Spirit, the female spirit master didn't idle around. She used her fastest speed to cast a spell, and after summoning the spirit's bone spurs, she immediately deployed a spirit summoning cage!

However, the target of this cage was not Yang Haoran, but her own Guardian Spirit!

As the female spirit master's voice rang out, four massive black stone pillars condensed from spiritual power burst out of the ground, instantly surrounding the Guardian Spirit. A series of chains as thick as a water bucket quickly wrapped around the four pillars, forming a massive cage in an instant.

Ding!!

At the moment the cage was formed, Waning Moon arrived on schedule, aiming at the female spirit master's Guardian Spirit. However, with the cage encasing the Guardian Spirit, Waning Moon missed its target and instead struck the cage.

The female spirit master's move seemed to be attacking her own Guardian Spirit, but in reality, she was protecting it. She was worried that if they continued like this, her Guardian Spirit would soon lose its combat effectiveness under Waning Moon's attacks.

By trapping the Guardian Spirit in the cage, Yang Haoran would have to break the cage first to continue harming the Guardian Spirit. As long as the cage remained unbroken, Waning Moon couldn't harm her Guardian Spirit again.

Moreover, her Guardian Spirit, while trapped in the cage, could still launch attacks on Yang Haoran, unaffected by illusions or object control, except for the inability to possess.

So, the female spirit master's current tactic not only temporarily protected her Guardian Spirit to a certain extent but also assisted her in counterattacking Yang Haoran. This move, which seemed to restrain her own Guardian Spirit, was actually a clever way to counter the enemy, achieving two goals at once!

Waning Moon's strike failed to break the cage and was instead repelled by a powerful counterforce, sending it flying back. This scene made Yang Haoran's eyebrows furrow slightly.He had seen spirit summoning cages before, but the one the female spirit master had deployed was far beyond his expectations in terms of size and defensive power.

The massive cage gave him a significant psychological shock, especially the chains as thick as a water bucket, which seemed to be telling him how sturdy the cage was.

The same spirit summoning, even if it was just an ordinary one, would give people a completely different feeling when performed by a powerful spirit master.

Although his mind was shocked by the massive cage in front of him, Yang Haoran didn't stand there stupidly. He immediately reacted after Waning Moon was repelled!

He didn't continue to control Waning Moon to attack the Guardian Spirit, because from what he saw earlier, breaking the cage instantly was unrealistic and would require some time.

Once he chose to break the cage first, it would be a good opportunity for the female spirit master and her Guardian Spirit to counterattack, making his situation even more unfavorable.

So, he quickly adjusted his strategy, giving up on breaking the cage and instead controlling Waning Moon to attack the female spirit master.

At the same time, he used his fingers to point at the massive cage from a distance!

In the void, chains as thick as an arm appeared. These chains seemed insignificant in front of the massive cage, like the difference between an elephant and an ant.

But these insignificant chains were like poisonous snakes, burrowing into the cage from various positions to harm the Guardian Spirit inside.

Although the Guardian Spirit was protected by its master in the cage, Yang Haoran was not without a plan. His Yin spirit power-condensed chains could also be used to capture the Guardian Spirit.

At this moment, Yang Haoran felt a little regret in his heart. He didn't know many Ghost Techniques, and the few he did know were found in Deng Feng's study room.

Deng Feng knew how many Ghost Techniques, but Yang Haoran didn't know. However, the Ghost Techniques he obtained from Deng Feng's study room seemed insignificant to him now.

Of course, if Deng Feng had powerful Ghost Techniques, he probably wouldn't just leave them in his study room.

That's why Yang Haoran rarely used Ghost Techniques when facing enemies. The chain he was controlling now was purely condensed from Yin spirit power and had no relation to Ghost Techniques.

The Ghost Slaying Soul Chain that Boss Huo had displayed earlier was a real Ghost Technique, and a powerful one at that. That's why its power was so immense.

The same chain, condensed purely from Yin spirit power, was vastly different from one conjured using Ghost Techniques. Yang Haoran felt regretful that he couldn't perform such powerful Ghost Techniques. If he could, like Boss Huo, conjure a Ghost Slaying Soul Chain, he would have an easier time dealing with the female spirit master, especially with his opened heaven soul power.

Aware of his shortcomings, Yang Haoran decided that after this incident, he would find a way to acquire powerful Ghost Techniques to significantly enhance his combat abilities.

Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to survive this night's operation.

The Guardian Spirit in the cage understood her master's intentions, so after being trapped, she didn't panic at all. Instead, she felt relieved and wanted to launch an immediate attack on Yang Haoran.

However, Yang Haoran's reaction was too fast. Seeing that the soul weapon Waning Moon couldn't break the cage instantly, he quickly changed his attack strategy, using the chain to attack her while controlling Waning Moon to attack her master.

Facing the massive Yin spirit power condensed into a chain, the Guardian Spirit had to temporarily give up on counterattacking Yang Haoran. Her soul body had already been hit twice by Waning Moon, and if it were to be injured or bound by the chain, it would only lead to further consumption of her soul body.

So, she had to prioritize avoiding the chain for now.

Meanwhile, the female spirit master was preparing to cast another spirit summoning to continuously attack Yang Haoran. However, facing Waning Moon's rapid attacks, she had to stop her spellcasting.

Waning Moon's speed was too fast, and its explosive power was too strong. If she didn't dodge immediately, she would be cut down by Waning Moon before she could even complete her spellcasting.

The female spirit master had rich combat experience and knew she couldn't succeed in casting her spell before Waning Moon struck her. Therefore, she decisively stopped her spellcasting and dodged to the side with her fastest speed.

Waning Moon missed, and the female spirit master successfully evaded the attack. Seeing her Guardian Spirit struggling to avoid the Yin spirit power chain, she knew it wouldn't last long. Without hesitation, she immediately dispelled the cage.

The cage set up by the female spirit master was not only more defensive than those set up by weaker spirit masters but also prevented soul bodies from entering or exiting.

It was precisely because of this that the cage, originally meant to protect the Guardian Spirit, had become a real prison. To prevent her Guardian Spirit from being at a disadvantage in Yang Haoran's hands, the female spirit master quickly dispelled the cage.

However, this brief delay was enough for Waning Moon to turn around and attack her again, instantly appearing before her eyes.

The female spirit master's face changed drastically as she finally felt the difficulty of dealing with Yang Haoran, the Underworld Envoy.

Although she knew it was too late to dodge, she still instinctively tried to avoid the attack.

A stream of fresh blood spurted out as the female spirit master dodged the critical hit, avoiding death at Yang Haoran's hands. However, her shoulder was slashed open by Waning Moon, and the fresh blood was from that wound.

The pain from the wound made the female spirit master's face change drastically. She didn't have time to tend to her shoulder wound, not even to seal it, before Waning Moon attacked her again. It seemed Yang Haoran was ready to take her life.
