Chapter 679: Eliminating Future Troubles
Chapter 679: Eliminating Future Troubles
Fair Young Man suddenly caught a glimpse of the black light, which was, of course, Yang Haoran's soul weapon, Waning Moon.
In an instant, Waning Moon severed Fair Young Man's waist, also easily breaking through the barrier that had just stabilized.
Yang Haoran's purpose in talking to Fair Young Man for so long was to extract as many benefits as possible from him, no matter how small, even if it meant using deceitful means.
Regardless of whether he could gain benefits from Fair Young Man, Yang Haoran would never harm Bai Xue. Although he valued benefits highly, he also had his principles and bottom line, and he would not betray his friends for personal gain.
However, his attitude towards Fair Young Man was the opposite. No matter whether he could gain benefits from Fair Young Man today, Fair Young Man had to die.
Considering that Fair Young Man's independent space might not necessarily explode after his death, Yang Haoran had spent so much time on Fair Young Man, trying to extract as many benefits as possible through his acting skills.
Originally, Yang Haoran had no intention of killing Fair Young Man, as he was not a ruthless killer who would kill at the slightest provocation. However, since Fair Young Man had harbored evil intentions towards Bai Xue, Yang Haoran had to take drastic action.
If he didn't eliminate Fair Young Man, Bai Xue might not be able to live in peace, and might even face life-threatening danger. It was better to eliminate the danger in its infancy, rather than waiting for an unknown threat to arise.
It was with this consideration that Yang Haoran decided to eliminate Fair Young Man.
To avoid making a big scene, Yang Haoran chose to launch a sneak attack to eliminate Fair Young Man quickly.In terms of strength, Yang Haoran was undoubtedly superior to Fair Young Man, and had even surpassed him by a significant margin. It was unusual for someone with such an advantage to resort to sneak attacks, but Yang Haoran didn't care. He wanted to eliminate the target in the shortest time possible, preferably with a swift kill, without worrying about whether it was a clean and honorable fight.
In the end, he achieved his goal, and the sneak attack was highly successful. The two-star demon hunter didn't even have time to react before his life was ended.
The barrier set up by Fair Young Man was mainly for soundproofing and couldn't block vision, so Bai Xue and the other two outside the barrier could see the movements of the two inside.
Although they couldn't know what the two had discussed inside the barrier, the three of them could tell that they had reached some kind of agreement, as they had witnessed Yang Haoran receiving five demonic pills from Fair Young Man.
However, the scene that followed left them puzzled. Yang Haoran's body was suddenly shrouded in Yin Qi, and a powerful fluctuation of energy erupted, causing the entire barrier to crack and almost shatter.
Just then, Yang Haoran said something to Fair Young Man, who immediately injected a large amount of star spiritual power into the barrier, stabilizing the broken barrier.
The three of them were still trying to figure out what Yang Haoran and Fair Young Man were doing inside the barrier when a black dart flashed by, not only piercing Fair Young Man's body but also shattering the barrier.
The three of them were stunned, and as they watched, Fair Young Man's fresh blood spurted out, and his body was severed at the waist. The black dart that had pierced Fair Young Man's body transformed into a Moon Wheel.
The three of them were shocked, especially the young woman who had come to Lecheng with Fair Young Man. She was in a state of extreme shock, unable to believe that Yang Haoran would dare to kill someone!
Her mouth was agape, her eyes wide with disbelief, and she was still reeling from the shock. Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xue, on the other hand, had already recovered from their shock, but their facial expressions were different.
Ye Zhiqiu's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his expression turned very serious, but he didn't make any other move.
On the contrary, Bai Xue was beaming with a charming smile, her big eyes sparkling with excitement, and then her body transformed into a massive white snake. She opened her mouth wide and bit down on the woman who was still in shock.
In the instant Bai Xue transformed back into her human form, she released a strong demonic aura, and a fierce demonic wind suddenly swept through the area. The woman, who had just reacted from her shock, saw a huge bloody mouth biting down on her body.
The woman's face changed drastically, and the sudden crisis almost made her heart jump out of her throat. However, she didn't stand there stupidly; instead, she quickly activated her star spiritual power, condensed a light shield in front of her with her hands, and then dodged to the side at top speed.
Although the woman was young, she had some battle experience, and in this critical moment, she was able to react correctly and effectively, which was quite impressive.
As soon as the light shield formed, Bai Xue's bloody mouth arrived, but due to the haste, the shield's defensive power was limited. Bai Xue bit down, and the shield was instantly shattered.
Although the shield only blocked Bai Xue's attack for an instant, it was enough for the woman to dodge the attack successfully.
This perfect ambush had failed to hit its target, which made Bai Xue a bit annoyed. She let out a loud roar and pounced on the woman again.
"Ye Zhiqiu, hurry up and stop her!"
The woman, still in shock, yelled at Ye Zhiqiu while fleeing in the distance.
This woman wasn't a fool; she knew that Yang Haoran's power was too strong, and it wasn't something she could resist. Although she had Ye Zhiqiu on her side, Yang Haoran had a powerful serpent demon, and in a fight, she felt that her side had no chance of winning.
So, after dodging Bai Xue's first attack, she immediately fled, and to ensure her escape, she abandoned Ye Zhiqiu and directly ordered him to block Bai Xue's attack.
Ye Zhiqiu heard her words, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp of wine. Then, his demonic weapon, a longsword, appeared out of thin air, and he gripped it tightly with his right hand.
After swallowing the wine in his mouth, the longsword let out a loud clang, and Ye Zhiqiu stabbed it into the ground. The solid concrete floor was like tofu in front of his sword, and it easily pierced through.
The scarlet flowers on the sword blade, which were previously faint, suddenly turned bright red like blood. The concrete floor began to grow scarlet flowers, which spread rapidly like lightning, and soon reached the fleeing woman's body.
Ye Zhiqiu had made his move, but his target wasn't Bai Xue or Yang Haoran, but the woman who was trying to escape.
The woman flying in the air seemed to have a sixth sense, and she looked down. This glance made her face change drastically, as she saw the scarlet flowers erupting and spreading towards her at an incredible speed. Before she could even scream, her body was wrapped in the flowers.
The scarlet flowers exploded, turning into a dense, rotating storm of red petals, which enveloped the woman. These delicate-looking petals were as sharp as knives, capable of cutting through even space.
Bai Xue, who was chasing after the woman, stopped in mid-air, not daring to approach the storm of petals, as she could sense the terrifying destructive power within. She knew that if she charged in, she might also get hurt.
The woman's blood-curdling scream echoed, lasting for several seconds. When the scream stopped, the storm of petals dispersed, and the petals turned into green lights and disappeared. A fresh, blood-soaked female corpse fell from the air.
Bai Xue's snake body swayed, and she appeared next to the falling corpse, then bit down on it and returned to Yang Haoran's location. After dropping the corpse, she transformed back into human form.
At this time, Yang Haoran had already closed his heaven soul and put away his soul weapon, Waning Moon. He gazed at the woman's corpse, shook his head slightly, and let out a soft sigh.
"Let you go, you wouldn't go, now it's too late. Not only is this life over, but there won't be a next life either."
As he finished speaking, Yang Haoran forcibly condensed and extracted the souls of the two, although they had already died, their souls were still in their bodies. To avoid any further trouble, he had to do this to eliminate any potential threats.
