Realm of the Night God

Chapter 666: Silent Provocation

In the realm of evil spirits, Xiu Juan's strength could only be considered average, not among the top-notch existences.

When it came to dealing with some newly formed minor demons, Xiu Juan was capable, but if she were to face a great demon, she would absolutely have no chance of survival, even if it was the weakest great demon, it was not something she could handle.

Yang Haoran was clear about Xiu Juan's strength, so he naturally wouldn't let her go out to die, but he did appreciate her fearless courage.

As someone who had already died once, dying again would mean her soul would scatter, and this kind of courage wasn't something all ghosts possessed.

Xiu Juan saw Yang Haoran didn't agree with her request, so she didn't say anything more, but her gaze towards the two great demons outside the barrier remained icy and ruthless, without a hint of fear.

"Hasn't Ye Zhiqiu returned in the past two days?" Yang Haoran asked Xiu Juan.

"He hasn't, he's been gone since he left," Xiu Juan replied respectfully.

"Ah, that's a pity, if he were here, dealing with these two great demons would be much simpler, he's more professional than me in this aspect," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"It's the same without him, Underworld Envoy big brother, your strength is far superior to his, and with the two of us working together, taking down these two great demons won't be a problem at all, I have their strength in mind," Bai Xue said with a smile.

Yang Haoran smiled noncommittally, then swept his gaze over the barrier surrounding the villa, which was shaking violently under the Burly Man's fierce attacks, just as Xiu Juan had said, it was likely to shatter soon.As for the short and skinny great demon, it still hadn't made a move.

"I'll go out to meet them, you guys wait here."

Yang Haoran smiled, then took a step forward, heading towards the villa's main gate.

Bai Xue saw this and quickly grabbed Yang Haoran.

"Underworld Envoy big brother, I think it's better to let them break the barrier, and when they enter the range of the Mountain and Water Formation, we can use its power to deal with them, it'll be much easier for us."

Bai Xue expressed her thoughts, but Yang Haoran shook his head after listening.

"I thought so at first, but it doesn't seem realistic now, even if the barrier really breaks, these two great demons probably won't enter the range of the Mountain and Water Formation."

Bai Xue looked puzzled, seemingly unsure what Yang Haoran meant.

Seeing the confusion on Bai Xue's face, Yang Haoran continued to explain.

"Look at that skinny monkey, it hasn't made a move yet, if it were to join forces with the Burly Man to attack the barrier, the barrier would have been broken by now. And the Burly Man, although he's been pounding the barrier with one punch after another, he's not using his full strength. In other words, their current tactic is to provoke us, waiting for us to take the initiative to go out and fight them."

Yang Haoran smiled, then continued.

"They're not fools, they know there's a powerful array guarding this place, so they're not willing to enter the array's coverage, which would make them passive, unless they have absolute confidence in their strength. Ah, but from the current situation, it seems they don't want to add more burdens to themselves."

Yang Haoran said this, and Bai Xue's face suddenly lit up with understanding.

"Brother Yang, the barrier has been broken, and we can still restart the grand formation. Otherwise... otherwise, we can just stay inside the barrier, and they won't come in, and we won't go out. What do you think?"

Feng Xiao's face was pale with fear as she spoke out her thoughts.

At this time, Feng Xiao was still a bit scared, but in her opinion, staying inside the Mountain and Water Formation was the safest option, because after all, the formation could provide them with some protection.

"Sister Xiu, are you joking? The enemy is already at our doorstep, and if we don't show them some strength, they'll think we're easy to bully. Moreover, if this gets out, Uncle Yang's face will be lost."

Xiaokang spoke out in opposition, not approving of Feng Xiao's plan. Feng Xiao was a bit embarrassed and didn't know what to say, and Xiu Juan frowned, looking at Xiaokang.

"Xiaokang, don't talk nonsense."

Xiaokang wanted to say something else, but after Xiu Juan spoke, he had to swallow his words.

"Hehe, Xiaokang is right. The enemy is already at our doorstep, and as the host, I have to make a stand. If not, I'll seem too petty."

Yang Haoran smiled and spoke, his face showing no signs of panic, not even a hint of tension, as if he didn't take the two great demons outside seriously at all.

"Underworld Envoy big brother, this matter started because of me, so I'll go with you." Bai Xue spoke up.

"I want to go too. Although my Yin spirit power isn't strong, I've become more skilled in controlling it, and I'm sure I can help outside." Xiaokang spoke up, his expression and tone showing excitement.

"I... I..." Feng Xiao stuttered, wanting to help but also feeling scared, so she didn't know what to say.

"No need, you can stay here. If I'm not a match for them, I'll come back and ask for your support." Yang Haoran smiled and refused.

When Yang Haoran said this, Xiaokang's face fell, and he wanted to argue for the chance to fight again, but Xiu Juan's glance stopped him.

As for Feng Xiao, her emotions were complex, feeling a mix of relief, disappointment, and guilt.

Bai Xue didn't give up because of Yang Haoran's words. She knew Yang Haoran's strength was formidable, but the two great demons outside were also powerful. If Yang Haoran faced one of them, she wouldn't worry, but if he faced both, she was still a bit uneasy.

"Underworld Envoy big brother, let me go with you. You shouldn't misunderstand; I'm not doubting your strength, but the current situation is different. It's better to end the fight quickly and avoid more trouble."

Yang Haoran thought for a moment and then smiled and nodded.

"Also, which one is the cat demon, and which one is the Bull Demon?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"The one standing and watching is the cat demon, and the one acting recklessly is the Bull Demon." Bai Xue replied.

This result wasn't unexpected for Yang Haoran. If the cat demon was the one acting, and the Bull Demon was watching, he would have found it strange.

"I'll take care of the cat demon, and you take care of the Bull Demon." Yang Haoran said.

The reason for this division was that the cat demon's movements were too quick, and Bai Xue would be at a disadvantage if she faced the cat demon.

This wasn't Yang Haoran's wild guess, but a fact. When Bai Xue fought the cat demon before, she was clearly at a disadvantage.

"This cat demon may be quick, but I'm not afraid of it. However, since you've said so, Underworld Envoy big brother, I'll let you handle the cat demon, and I'll take care of the Bull Demon, because I'll listen to you." Bai Xue smiled sweetly.

Yang Haoran just smiled and didn't say anything, then walked towards the villa's gate. Bai Xue saw this and immediately followed.

The two of them seemed to be walking casually, but their speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the edge of the barrier at the villa's gate.

At the same time, the barrier was about to collapse under the Bull Demon's continuous and fierce punches. It only needed one more punch, and the barrier released by the Mountain and Water Formation would be shattered by the Bull Demon.

The Bull Demon, like before, raised its fist and punched out again. This punch was about to hit the barrier, but just at this moment, the barrier suddenly opened a gap, and a stream of Yin spirit power rushed out, colliding with the Bull Demon's punch.

Boom!!

The Yin spirit power was dispersed, and the Bull Demon was knocked back by the powerful recoil, with a thick layer of Yin Qi wrapping around its body. This Yin Qi made the Bull Demon feel a chill, extremely uncomfortable.

The cat demon saw this and frowned. It had been still until now, but finally, it took action.

It decisively reached out and caught the retreating Bull Demon, and its demonic spiritual power erupted, enveloping the Bull Demon's body in a green light. Not only did it stabilize the Bull Demon's retreating body, but it also dispersed the Yin Qi wrapped around the Bull Demon's body.
