Realm of the Night God

Chapter 640: Radiance of the Holy Light

A slightly displeased voice echoed, and a figure emerged at the supermarket entrance, walking towards Yang Haoran's location.

The newcomer was a woman, clad in a pristine white robe without any impurities, like a lotus flower untainted by the muddy waters. She had a tall and slender figure, with curves in all the right places, but her face was veiled, making it impossible to discern her features.

Although her face was obscured, her exposed skin suggested that she was a beauty, particularly her large, spirited eyes, which seemed capable of speaking on their own.

Of course, it was also possible that beneath the veil lay a face with a crooked mouth and a set of buck teeth.

The woman's appearance immediately caught the attention of Yang Haoran and the old lady, and their gazes fell upon her. The impending battle, which was about to erupt, was temporarily halted, as neither of them made a move against the other.

"I never thought I'd have the honor of meeting a Holy Mother Church envoy today," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

The woman stopped in her tracks and spoke in a calm tone, "I don't dare to be called a holy envoy. I'm just one of the countless saints under the Holy Mother's gate. I hope Yang Divine Envoy won't mistakenly address me. Moreover, I sense no hint of reverence in your tone, but rather a deep-seated prejudice against our Holy Mother Church."

Yang Haoran intentionally sidestepped the topic to avoid awkwardness, but the Holy Mother Church woman brought it up again, leaving him somewhat frustrated.

"You're being overly sensitive, Holy Envoy. I've always held the Holy Mother Church in high esteem, and it's impossible for me to harbor any prejudice. By the way, may I know your esteemed name?"

The woman, of course, didn't believe Yang Haoran's words, but she didn't press the issue further."Yang Divine Envoy's homework is lacking. I know all about you, but you don't know me. It seems you're even more arrogant than I imagined."

Yang Haoran indeed hadn't done his homework on this aspect. He knew that Lecheng had various sects and organizations, but he wasn't aware of the leaders of each. He didn't know who the head of the Holy Mother Church in Lecheng was, but the woman's ability to link this to his arrogance left him speechless.

Yang Haoran's face remained calm, with a faint smile still on his lips.

"In this situation, I wonder which side you'll take, Holy Envoy?" Yang Haoran asked.

He didn't pursue the woman's name, as he was more concerned about which side she would choose.

Judging from the power fluctuations emanating from the woman, her strength was considerable. If she were to become his enemy, things would become complicated.

"I, of course, stand on the side of justice," the woman replied coldly, her gaze then shifting to the old lady, her intention clear.

Yang Haoran smiled and didn't say more. With a wave of his hands, several thick chains appeared, launching a attack on the old lady from all directions.

The woman, meanwhile, formed a seal with her hands and began to chant, preparing to unleash a powerful technique.

The old lady's expression was unflappable. If it were just Yang Haoran, she would have been willing to test his abilities as a Burial Master. However, with the addition of this Holy Mother Church woman, the situation had changed. Although she had some confidence in her own strength, she didn't think she could handle both of them simultaneously.

Yang Haoran didn't know this woman, but the old lady did, and she was aware of the woman's considerable strength.

The chains whizzed through the air, and the Resentful Spirit, which had been lurking, immediately launched an attack on Yang Haoran and the woman. The old lady, meanwhile, mobilized her internal power to resist the chains condensed from Yang Haoran's Yin spirit.

The battle unfolded, with Yang Haoran diverting some of his chains to counter the Resentful Spirit, while the woman dodged its attacks and continued to chant her spell.

Yang Haoran did not activate his Heaven Soul to summon the Waning Moon, his soul weapon, because the current situation did not require it. Moreover, with people from the Holy Mother Church present, he did not want to reveal his true strength too quickly.

The intense battle between the three of them affected the entire supermarket, causing it to shake violently. The injured employees who were lying on the ground were already unconscious, while those who were still awake were terrified out of their wits.

This apocalyptic scene was something they had only seen in movies, and they had never experienced it in real life. Now that they were in the midst of it, it was only natural to feel fear.

Fortunately, Yang Haoran had used his Yin spirit power to create a protective barrier around them, otherwise the aftershocks of the battle would have been enough to claim their lives.

To allow the woman from the Holy Mother Church to complete her seal, Yang Haoran had to divert some of his chain to block the Resentful Spirit, which temporarily increased his pressure. The old woman took advantage of this opportunity to destroy two of his chains.

Fortunately, the woman's sealing action was quick, and she completed it just as the old woman shattered the two chains.

"Divine technique Holy light illuminates all!"

The woman's cold voice rang out, and a surge of holy power erupted from her body, forming a white holy light that enveloped the entire supermarket.

Under the holy light, the ferocious Resentful Spirits let out a pained cry, their bodies seemingly burned by intense flames, emitting white smoke.

The old woman, also enveloped in the holy light, emitted white smoke from her body, her face contorted in pain.

Not only the old woman and her Resentful Spirits were affected, but Yang Haoran's chain, condensed from his Yin spirit power, was also impacted by the holy light.

The chain, enveloped in the holy light, not only emitted white smoke but also developed cracks, appearing as if it might shatter at any moment.

Yang Haoran, similarly affected, felt his physical body being burned by intense flames under the holy light, extremely uncomfortable. The white smoke emanating from his body was a result of the holy light purifying the Yin Qi within him.

However, unlike the old woman, Yang Haoran's face did not reveal a pained expression. Although the holy light made him feel extremely uncomfortable, it did not cause him to show pain on his face.

Although his facial expression was different, Yang Haoran's heart was somewhat displeased. The woman's move had treated him as a target of attack as well.

"What are you doing!"

Yang Haoran's face showed dissatisfaction as he glared at the woman from the Holy Mother Church.

"Under the holy light, all darkness will be dispelled, including the Yin Qi within Yang Divine Envoy's body."

The woman responded calmly, her holy light technique being a non-discriminatory attack that would affect any dark power within its range, including Yang Haoran's Yin spirit power and the Yin Qi emanating from his body.

"Can't you use a different method? Doesn't the Holy Mother Church have single-target holy techniques?" Yang Haoran asked, somewhat helplessly.

"Of course, we have single-target techniques, but they are not very effective," the woman replied calmly.

Yang Haoran was too lazy to bother with the woman. If it weren't for the current situation, he would have liked to give her a good scolding. However, considering the present circumstances and the fact that she was, for now, an ally, he restrained himself.

To counter the effects of the holy light, Yang Haoran could only mobilize more of his Yin spirit power. This way, he could inflict greater damage on the old woman and her Resentful Spirits without being harmed by the holy light.

With the additional Yin spirit power, the chain that was on the verge of shattering recondensed, and the cracks disappeared. Although Yang Haoran's body was still emitting white smoke, his physical body remained unharmed.

As for the old woman, she had already intended to retreat, knowing she was no match for Yang Haoran and the woman. Seeing Yang Haoran divert some of his energy to resist the holy light, she saw an opportunity.

"Let's stop here for today. I'll come back to learn from you two another day."
