Realm of the Night God

Chapter 610: The Cat Caught by the Fishbone

"It seems you've discovered my plan, but it doesn't matter. You've dodged once, but I'm not sure if you can dodge again next time."

A blood-curdling laughter echoed from the blood-red malevolent spirit's mouth, its blood-red eyes fixed on Yang Haoran, its expression playful.

The Waning Moon that was frozen in mid-air dissipated into nothingness, transformed into Yin Qi. This Waning Moon was not the real one, but an illusion created by the blood-red malevolent spirit's illusion realm, so Yang Haoran didn't take its disappearance to heart.

He ignored the blood-red malevolent spirit, and under his mental control, the space around him suddenly fluctuated violently, and the real Waning Moon reappeared. This time, the Waning Moon that emerged was the genuine one.

Yang Haoran knew that the Waning Moon had just tried to attack him, its actions clearly controlled by the blood-red malevolent spirit.

The blood-red malevolent spirit had used its illusion realm as a cover, hiding the real Waning Moon and creating a fake one to deceive him, almost killing him with his own soul weapon.

Although he was furious, he was more shocked by the blood-red malevolent spirit's power.

As an Underworld Envoy, he should be the natural enemy of ghosts, but his current situation was extremely precarious, like a cat that eats fish every day but got caught by a fishbone.

After successfully summoning the real Waning Moon to his side, he didn't immediately attack the blood-red malevolent spirit because he knew he was currently in an illusion realm. Blindly attacking would only accelerate the consumption of his Yin spirit power, without causing any harm to the blood-red malevolent spirit.

So, his top priority was to break through the illusion realm set up by the blood-red malevolent spirit. Only by breaking through the illusion realm could he have a chance to truly harm the blood-red malevolent spirit.However, the illusion realm set up by the blood-red malevolent spirit was too powerful, and breaking through it wouldn't be easy.

Seeing Yang Haoran's silence, the blood-red malevolent spirit sneered: "Why aren't you speaking? Are you thinking about how to break through my illusion realm?"

"No mistake, I'm indeed thinking about how to break through your illusion realm. Do you have a good method?" Yang Haoran asked with a faint smile.

"I do, of course," the blood-red malevolent spirit replied coldly. As he spoke, Yang Haoran suddenly felt his body being enveloped by a powerful force again, not only his physical body but also his soul weapon Waning Moon.

This force was the blood-red malevolent spirit's object control power!

"As long as you die, all problems will be solved. This illusion realm doesn't need to be broken, and I'll withdraw it. Isn't that more convenient and time-saving?" the blood-red malevolent spirit asked with a laugh.

"Heh, that's a good method, but I have an even better one," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"Oh? Is that so? Tell me, and I might just adopt it," the blood-red malevolent spirit said with a laugh.

"Very simple. Instead of letting me die, why not let you die? If you die, the illusion realm will disappear without needing to be withdrawn. Isn't that even simpler?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

The blood-red malevolent spirit nodded, seemingly agreeing with Yang Haoran's words.

"What you said seems very reasonable. I also want to die, but I just can't. It looks like I need your help to achieve this."

Yang Haoran's smile remained on his face, but it had added a few degrees of coldness compared to before.

"I'm more than happy to help."

Yang Haoran's response was very affirmative, but his body began to tremble again, and even Waning Moon beside him shook violently.

Faced with this situation, he had to mobilize more Yin spirit power to resist this force and protect Waning Moon beside him, lest Waning Moon be controlled again.

The two powers clashed, although silently, but very fiercely.

The blood-red malevolent spirit burst out laughing, its laughter carrying a hint of manic hysteria, and its blood-red eyes revealed deep ridicule, as if ridiculing Yang Haoran's overestimation of himself.

"Your strength is not bad, but compared to mine, it's still far from enough. So even if you want to help me, I'm afraid you don't have the capability."

As the blood-red malevolent spirit spoke, the power enveloping Yang Haoran became even more intense.

Yang Haoran retracted the smile on his face, and at this time, he had already exerted his full strength, but he still couldn't completely break through this power. His body was instead slowly lifted into the air under this circumstance.

Not only that, Waning Moon beside him was also slowly lifted into the air, and was even moving closer to his body, inch by inch. If this continued, Waning Moon would soon touch his body, and would definitely be controlled by the blood-red malevolent spirit, inch by inch, to enter his body.

Faced with this situation, he had no choice but to enhance his own strength to break through the blood-red malevolent spirit's object control power and break through the current illusion realm.

There were three ways to enhance his strength at the moment. One was to take a soul pill, which could not only restore the Yin spirit power consumed in this battle but also increase his strength. However, this increase was limited, and it would take time to fully absorb a soul pill, which the blood-red malevolent spirit would not give him.

Another method was to take the elixir obtained from Feng Xiao, which could temporarily enhance his physical body's strength. However, the side effects on his physical body after the medicine wore off were not small.

As for elixirs or pills that could enhance Yin spirit power, he didn't have any in his hand. Not to mention that he didn't have any, even Feng Xiao didn't have any, because Feng Xiao didn't know how to refine such medicines.

However, Yang Haoran's physical body was slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Underworld Envoy, which was extremely strong in the eyes of ordinary people, but just average in the eyes of non-ordinary people.

So, even if he took an elixir to enhance his physical body, the increase in strength would be very limited.

Moreover, the blood-red malevolent spirit didn't have a physical body, so even if his physical body's strength was enhanced, it couldn't cause any harm to the blood-red malevolent spirit. At most, it could only make him less painful when being beaten, and maybe he could withstand a few more blows after enhancement, but that was about it.

There was another method, which was to take both the soul pill and the physical body-enhancing elixir at the same time. However, this approach seemed to be like trying to quench thirst by looking at plums, unable to fundamentally solve the problem.

But apart from these three methods, Yang Haoran couldn't think of any other way to instantly enhance his strength at the moment.

Just as he was worried about this, he suddenly thought of a very crucial question.

Wasn't he currently in the illusion realm set up by the blood-red malevolent spirit? Then, would everything he was experiencing now be just a scare tactic?

This possibility was not impossible, but even if everything he was experiencing now was just an illusion realm, as long as the illusion realm wasn't broken, the blood-red malevolent spirit still had many ways to kill him.

No matter what, the only way to get out of this predicament was to break through the illusion realm, but breaking through the illusion realm required absolute power, which he currently didn't have a feasible way to obtain. At this time, he was like being stuck in the mud, unable to move an inch.

As his body continued to rise higher, Waning Moon also drew closer, Yang Haoran's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he made a resolute decision in his heart to take both the soul pill and the physical body-enhancing elixir at the same time!

This approach might not fundamentally solve the problem, but it could at least have some effect.

If there were better methods, he would definitely not make such a decision, but he currently had no other way out and could only make this choice!

Forced to make a decision that didn't satisfy him, Yang Haoran felt a sense of helplessness and anger in his heart, and this anger was directed at Boss Huo.

Clearly, they had agreed that he would only rescue people and prevent the spirit master from escaping, but now, even the Guardian Spirit of Ink Glasses Man was targeting him, and the gap in strength between the two sides was significant, making his situation extremely dire. Boss Huo hadn't appeared in time to take care of this blood-red malevolent spirit, which made him feel angry and a sense of being betrayed.

With a sense of helplessness and anger in his heart, he prepared to use his mind to open his independent space and take out the physical body-enhancing elixir and soul pill. Although his body couldn't move, he could still find a way to send the two into his mouth.

However, just at this moment, the blood-red malevolent spirit seemed to have suddenly sensed something, and its face changed drastically
