Realm of the Night God

Chapter 664: 2 Defenses and 1 Attack

Yang Haoran hadn't told Xu Meijing the details of the Yunchuan City incident, but now that it had been brought up, he took some time to explain it to her in detail.

After listening to Yang Haoran's account, Xu Meijing understood what had happened and saw how cautious Yang Haoran was being, which reduced her worries significantly.

Unbeknownst to them, they had spent an hour in the quiet room, and although Yang Haoran didn't want to leave, he had to because of the current situation, he couldn't stay away from Lecheng for too long.

With the Ghost Technique Xu Meijing had given him and the reluctance in his heart, he tore through space and left Ancheng, hurrying back to Lecheng.

After leaving for several hours, the surface of Lecheng was still the same as when he had left, with no significant changes. He didn't go to the Death God Temple but instead returned directly to the villa.

Although mobile phones had become decorations, the Night Watch on his body all had the Death God pendants he had imbued, which would allow him to sense danger in the first instance if they encountered any.

So far, he hadn't sensed any reaction from the Death God pendants he had imbued, which meant that, at least for now, his Night Watch were still safe and hadn't encountered any danger.

Since they were safe, he didn't need to go to the Death God Temple, especially since he had more important things to attend to at the moment.

Inside the villa, Bai Xue was refining demonic pills in her room, Feng Xiao was practicing alchemy, Xiaokang was training, Xiu Juan was cleaning, and only Ye Zhiqiu's whereabouts were unknown.

Yang Haoran asked Xiu Juan, but Xiu Juan didn't know where Ye Zhiqiu had gone, and he didn't ask further.Although Ye Zhiqiu was following him, he couldn't completely restrict their personal freedom, and he was also aware of Ye Zhiqiu's personality. Even if he wanted to control them, he might not be able to, and using force would only have the opposite effect.

Anyway, Ye Zhiqiu's injuries had almost healed, and he wasn't too worried, given that Ye Zhiqiu was quite capable, especially with their demonic weapon, which had advanced to the fourth rank, making them even stronger.

Moreover, Ye Zhiqiu also had a Death God pendant on them, which would allow Yang Haoran to know immediately if they encountered any danger.

Not bothering to look for Ye Zhiqiu, Yang Haoran gave Xiu Juan a few instructions before locking himself in the study room. Since he needed to keep an eye on the outside world at all times, he didn't set up a restriction barrier, only closing the study room door.

In the study room, Yang Haoran first took out the Ghost Technique Xu Meijing had given him.

Xu Meijing's handwriting was very beautiful, neat and clean, giving people a sense of pleasure.

Not only was the handwriting good, but the seal was also quite impressive, although it couldn't compare to a professional's in terms of details, but at least it didn't give people a bad feeling.

In contrast, the two Ghost Techniques Yang Haoran had given Xu Meijing were not only poorly written but also had many corrections, making them seem like heaven and earth compared to the one Xu Meijing had given him.

Looking at Xu Meijing's beautiful handwriting and the clean paper, Yang Haoran couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

However, after he carefully read through the Ghost Technique, his expression changed to one of surprise.

The name of this Ghost Technique wasn't prominently displayed, and since he had only glanced at it briefly in Ancheng, he didn't know much about it.

But now, as he read through the Ghost Technique carefully, he was shocked to discover that it was extremely similar to the Ghost Slaying Soul Chain that Boss Huo had used.

As expected, when Yang Haoran read to the end, he found the note Xu Meijing had left, which was the name of the Ghost Technique - Ghost Slaying Soul Chain!

The Second Floor of the Ghost Technique Pavilion had so many Ghost Techniques, but Xu Meijing chose this particular one, which really made Yang Haoran feel surprised.

Looking at the Ghost Slaying Soul Chain in front of him, Yang Haoran couldn't help but think of Boss Huo. He wondered if Boss Huo had already resolved the troubles in Yunchuan City and returned to New Yang City, but he didn't know.

However, he did know the power of this Ghost Slaying Soul Chain, after all, he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

Although he didn't expect Xu Meijing to choose this Ghost Technique, now that it had been chosen, he naturally had to cultivate it.

After all, he had once admired Boss Huo for using the Ghost Slaying Soul Chain, and now he had it too, so he didn't need to admire Boss Huo anymore.

The Ghost Slaying Soul Chain was a destructive power Ghost Technique that was extremely powerful. Once successfully cast, the user could control the soul chain to bind the enemy. The stronger the user's power, the thicker and more numerous the soul chains would be, and the more terrifying the destructive power would become.

Of course, if the user intentionally didn't cast the Ghost Technique to its fullest extent, that would be a different story.

Because the top of the Ghost Slaying Soul Chain was a terrifying ghost head, this Ghost Technique was also known as the Ghost Head Chain, although this name was rarely used by Underworld Envoys, as it sounded a bit demeaning.

The Ghost Slaying Soul Chain was chosen by Xu Meijing from the Ghost Technique Pavilion, while Yang Haoran had brought out two Ghost Techniques from the pavilion, namely the Yin Qi Shield and the Netherworld Ice Mirror.

Once cast, the Yin Qi Shield would form a black, oval-shaped shield around the user's body, similar to an upright eggshell, protecting the user within and also having Yin Qi swirling around the shield to defend against injuries.

The stronger the user's power, the stronger the Yin Qi Shield's defense would be. As long as the shield didn't break, the user's physical body wouldn't be harmed.

Without cultivating the Yin Qi Shield, one could also use Yin spirit power to condense a shield on the body's surface, and the shape could even be decided according to one's preference. It wasn't a problem to condense a rectangular shield, let alone an oval one.

However, this shield condensed directly from Yin spirit power, no matter how similar it looked to the Yin Qi Shield, its defensive power couldn't be compared to the Yin Qi Shield, because the Yin spirit power would undergo a qualitative change after being cast through a Ghost Technique, and the power it released would be different. This was true for all types of Ghost Techniques, whether defensive, offensive, or special.

Just like the Ghost Slaying Soul Chain, if Yang Haoran wanted, he could also condense his Yin spirit power into a Ghost Slaying Soul Chain shape. However, the Ghost Slaying Soul Chain condensed through this method would be a mere paper tiger, unable to unleash the true power of the Ghost Slaying Soul Chain, because it wasn't the real thing.

A true Ghost Technique couldn't be imitated and required corresponding incantations and hand seals. Only after successful cultivation could one cast a true Ghost Technique.

This Yin Qi Shield, being a mid-level Ghost Technique, definitely wouldn't have weak defense in Yang Haoran's opinion. It was just that the name was a bit rustic, perhaps because the creator of this Ghost Technique wasn't good at naming things, so they came up with such a rustic name.

The Netherworld Ice Mirror was also a defensive Ghost Technique that not only could defend against enemy attacks but also reflect them. The only flaw was that it couldn't provide all-around, dead-angle protection for the user. However, being able to reflect the opponent's attack was a pretty good ability.

With these three Ghost Techniques, Yang Haoran's current weaknesses were made up for. Although three Ghost Techniques weren't many, they could still significantly enhance his combat power, which was a big help for him now.

In the following time, Yang Haoran paid attention to the outside world while cultivating Ghost Techniques in the study room. He first cultivated the Ghost Slaying Soul Chain obtained from Xu Meijing, and after successfully cultivating it, he would prepare to cultivate his own Yin Qi Shield and Netherworld Ice Mirror.

As long as there were corresponding incantations and hand seals, cultivating Ghost Techniques was a piece of cake, and Yang Haoran made good progress, using only two short days to successfully cultivate all three Ghost Techniques.

However, this so-called successful cultivation only referred to theoretical success. Whether he had truly and completely cultivated these three Ghost Techniques still needed to be proven in practice.

Due to the limited space in the study room, and considering the study room was too important to Yang Haoran, he decided to test them in the courtyard to avoid damaging the study room. The courtyard had enough space to test these three Ghost Techniques.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he sensed something and looked towards the villa's main gate.
