Realm of the Night God

Chapter 628: Moths to the Flame

The spirit master was not a fool, and he didn't believe that Master Wu was truly willing to cooperate with him. Based on the information he had gathered, Master Wu was a very intelligent person who was not easy to deal with.

Although Master Wu had agreed to cooperate on the surface, the spirit master didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. It was impossible to believe him just based on his words, so he proposed a suggestion: let Master Wu kill Xiaokang with his own hands.

Xiaokang's identity had already been investigated by the spirit master. If Master Wu killed Xiaokang with his own hands, it would not only prove that Master Wu was willing to cooperate but also cut off his escape route.

On the other hand, if Master Wu refused to kill Xiaokang, it would mean that his previous agreement to cooperate was just a delaying tactic, and he might even discuss with Yang Haoran to get rid of him.

The spirit master's move was indeed ruthless, not only scaring Xiaokang but also causing a significant change in Master Wu's expression.

Xiaokang, despite being different from ordinary people, was still just a child and would naturally be scared by the spirit master's words.

It wasn't just a child who would be scared; even a mature adult would find it difficult to remain calm in such a situation.

"He's just a child, and your method is too extreme," Master Wu said with a frown, his voice low and serious.

"Hehe, it's indeed a bit extreme, but if we don't take extreme measures, how can we prove your sincerity? I believe you understand this principle, don't you?" the spirit master asked with a smile.

"It's a small price to pay with a child's life to save our entire family. You're not getting senile, are you, Dad? Just kill him!"Second son Wu was emotionally agitated, and at this moment, he was most afraid that Master Wu would refuse, because if he did, he would be the one to die. In this life-or-death situation, he would rather die than let his own family members die.

...

Because of his extreme emotions, Second son Wu didn't care about his words and directly scolded Master Wu, calling him "old and muddled." Normally, he wouldn't dare to do so, but now he didn't care.

"Second Brother, how dare you speak to Dad like that!"

Eldest son Wu's face turned ugly as he rebuked his younger brother, although both of them were in the same predicament. However, Eldest son Wu had more backbone than Second son Wu.

Bang!

As soon as Eldest son Wu finished speaking, the spirit master shot him in the shoulder, causing him to express pain on his face.

"Second Brother Wu is right, and I won't allow you to speak to him in that tone."

The spirit master's smile disappeared, and his expression turned icy cold, his tone filled with threat. It seemed that if Eldest son Wu opened his mouth again, he would definitely get another shot.

The spirit master's gaze turned back to Master Wu, and he said coldly, "Master Wu, my patience is limited. I don't want to waste any more time with you. From now on, I'll count to three and kill one person each time until I'm done. Don't regret it later."

"If you dare to kill, then forget about cooperating with me!" Master Wu said in a low voice.

"Hmph, you don't need to threaten me. It's a pity if we can't cooperate, but since you're not cooperating, I have no choice but to use this method to vent my anger. At worst, you'll die, and I'll think of another way to deal with Yang Haoran later."

The spirit master made his attitude clear and immediately started counting.

"One!"

After a brief pause, the spirit master spoke again.

"Two!"

When he counted to two, the spirit master had already aimed his gun at Eldest son Wu, indicating that he would kill him first, not Second son Wu, but the current pillar of the Wu Family, Eldest son Wu.

The eldest son Wu is the successor of Master Wu, deeply loved and respected by Master Wu. This is something that the spirit master naturally knows, which is why he chose to take action against Eldest son Wu.

Seeing the spirit master's gun pointed at his eldest son, Master Wu's anger caused his entire body to tremble.

Just as the spirit master was about to count to three, Master Wu made a lightning-fast move, condensing two chains of Yin spirit power to attack the spirit master from both sides.

His action showed his attitude, and Second son Wu's face turned pale, while Xiaokang let out a sigh of relief.

The spirit master didn't move, but his spiritual power burst forth, fixing the two chains in mid-air.

"Master Wu, your choice has greatly disappointed me."

The spirit master's cold face fell, and as he spoke, the two chains suddenly received a devastating blow, exploding with two loud bangs before shattering into Yin Qi and dispersing into thin air.

Next, he pulled the trigger, firing a bullet at Eldest son Wu's forehead. However, just at that moment, two more chains appeared out of thin air, one directly deflecting the bullet and the other chain stabbing towards the spirit master's chest!

At the same time, Master Wu's anxious face was evident as he stuffed two black talismans into Xiaokang's bosom. These two talismans were extremely powerful black talismans.

"I'll temporarily hold them off, you immediately take my family and leave. These two black talismans should be able to help you break through the barrier here!"

Master Wu yelled at Xiaokang, but his yell only drew the spirit master's ridicule.

"Escape? Ha ha, Master Wu, you're really too naive. You think you can escape from me with just two black talismans? Moreover, with your current strength, what can you use to hold me off?"

The spirit master spoke while shattering the chain, and since both sides had already made their moves, his handgun was no longer of much use...

He threw away his handgun and mobilized his spiritual power, seemingly wanting to take out Eldest son Wu and the others in one strike.

However, at that moment, Master Wu simultaneously released several talismans, including two black talismans, all targeting the spirit master.

In addition, he released a soul-gathering bead, but this bead didn't target the spirit master; instead, it charged towards the malevolent spirit lurking in the air!

With Master Wu's strength, he was no match for the spirit master or his Guardian Spirit, but he was still launching a simultaneous attack on both the spirit master and his Guardian Spirit to buy time for Xiaokang.

This approach was completely like moths to a flame, given the significant gap in strength between the two sides.

Moreover, he wasn't a talisman master, and even if he had managed to obtain a few black talismans over the years, he couldn't fully unleash their power.

So, choosing to go head-to-head with the spirit master was essentially seeking death.

Master Wu knew this, but he had no choice; to buy time for Xiaokang, he could only do this, even if the chances of success were slim.

His current thought was simple: to stake his life and try to buy as much time as possible for Xiaokang!

"Hurry up and leave Don't waste time!"

As Master Wu yelled at Xiaokang, the soul-gathering bead, under his control, emitted a massive attractive force, enveloping the malevolent spirit.

Furthermore, the several talismans released earlier immediately ignited, transforming into several fire wolves and two massive, fully aflame tigers!

The number of fire wolves was greater, but the power waves emitted by the fire tigers far exceeded the total power of the fire wolves!

A chorus of wolf howls and tiger roars erupted as the fire wolves and tigers charged towards the spirit master!

"Grandpa Wu, hold on I'll send them away and come back to help you!"

Xiaokang responded to Master Wu while stretching out his right hand towards Eldest son Wu's location, a chain bursting out from his palm to bind Eldest son Wu and the others together.

Seeing this, Xiaokang quickly grasped the chain with his left hand, preparing to forcefully drag Eldest son Wu and the others away, when a hand emerged from the flames, grabbing the chain condensed from Yin spirit power!

"You've been told you can't take them away, why don't you believe it? Has the most basic trust between people been lost?"
