Chapter 710: Being Calculated
As the Guardian Spirit's voice sounded, a dense cluster of bone spurs formed in the space in front of him, each one emitting a cold glow. It was clear that they were extremely sharp, and if they hit their target, they would pierce it like a beehive.
As for why he had to shout out during the Casting Technique, it wasn't to warn the opponent, but to intimidate them and boost his own momentum. After all, it's said that in a fight, you can't show weakness, and with a strong momentum, you can become more courageous.
It's like when soldiers charge into battle and shout out - it's not to warn the enemy, but to boost their own morale. Even if you don't shout out, the opponent will still sense the power fluctuation.
Of course, not everyone has this habit, and it depends on the person and the situation.
The bone spurs condensed, and the Guardian Spirit's Great Hand swung out, accompanied by a loud shout.
"Go!!"
The sound of the bone spurs piercing the air echoed out, and the dense cluster of bone spurs shot towards the area where Yang Haoran was, covering the entire region.
The Old Town Chief saw this and smiled, not controlling the bone blade to continue attacking Yang Haoran, but instead suspending it in mid-air, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The speed of the bone spurs wasn't as fast as the bone blade, nor was it as fast as the Waning Moon, but it wasn't slow either. Adding to that, the Guardian Spirit wasn't too far from Yang Haoran, so the bone spurs reached the area ten meters above Yang Haoran's head in the blink of an eye.
This time, Yang Haoran didn't dodge because he knew that it was difficult to avoid such a dense attack. But that was only one reason - if he insisted on dodging, he could still avoid the bone spurs.There was another reason - the bone blade was still suspended above his head, and the Old Town Chief was waiting for him to dodge. Even if he successfully dodged the bone spurs, could he dodge the bone blade above his head?
Yang Haoran felt that dodging the bone blade was possible, but he didn't want to take the risk. Why bother showing off when there was a better way to handle it?
He didn't dodge and instead immediately summoned his soul weapon, the Waning Moon.
The Waning Moon and the evil ghost were engaged in a fierce battle in the sky, with the Waning Moon at a disadvantage. The evil ghost had the upper hand, and just as it was about to land a blow, the Waning Moon suddenly disappeared, reappearing in front of Yang Haoran.
Although Yang Haoran had used this move before, it was still effective now. No matter whether it was the evil ghost, the Guardian Spirit, or the Old Town Chief, none of them could stop Yang Haoran from using this move.
The Waning Moon's appearance blocked the dense cluster of bone spurs, and the sharp bone spurs collided with it, producing a series of crisp, metallic sounds.
The Guardian Spirit's expression remained unchanged, continuing to control more bone spurs to attack the Waning Moon, seemingly trying to break through it by force or suppress Yang Haoran.
The Old Town Chief witnessed this scene, and instead of looking anxious or flustered, he revealed a cold smile.
"Heh heh, Yang Divine Envoy, don't think you're safe just because you're hiding behind your soul weapon. This will only make you die faster."
The Old Town Chief seemed to have anticipated Yang Haoran's move, and his face didn't show any surprise.
As his words fell, the bone blade suspended above Yang Haoran's head suddenly moved!
However, it didn't slash down towards Yang Haoran, but instead shot towards the evil ghost that was charging towards Yang Haoran.
The bone blade was a spirit summoning condensed by the Old Town Chief, and the evil ghost was also a product of his spirit summoning. Both were tools he used to deal with Yang Haoran, but now, he was controlling the bone blade to attack the evil ghost
Just as a flash of white light appeared, the bone blade materialized in front of the evil ghost, causing the evil ghost to freeze, and the bone blade also stopped in mid-air, suspended in front of the evil ghost.
The Old Town Chief sneered, his hands moving quickly to change the seal, and under his control, the bone blade suddenly emitted a thick, dark smoke!
A dull, muffled sound came from within the bone blade, and its size suddenly increased, transforming into a massive sword over 33 feet long in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the massive sword in front of him, the evil ghost burst out laughing, then stretched out its hands to grab the hilt of the bone blade.
"Kill him for me!"
The Old Town Chief gave a sinister order, and the evil ghost charged towards Yang Haoran, its hands exerting immense force as it swung the bone blade, composed of white bones, towards Yang Haoran.
This one strike caused a rift in space, and the bone blade's energy shattered the bone spurs conjured by the Guardian Spirit before it even landed, and then affected Yang Haoran's soul weapon, Waning Moon, causing it to tremble slightly.
The evil ghost's attack was indiscriminate, so it also shattered the Guardian Spirit's bone spurs, but the Old Town Chief didn't feel any regret, because from the previous situation, it was clear that the Guardian Spirit's bone spurs were unable to break through Yang Haoran's soul weapon's defense.
And Yang Haoran's method of recalling his soul weapon had given the Old Town Chief an opportunity to combine the two types of spirit summoning, making the evil ghost a wielder of the bone blade.
The bone blade's energy shattered the bone spurs but not Waning Moon, and then it landed squarely on Waning Moon with a loud crash!
Boom!!
The massive impact shook the air, and although Waning Moon blocked the bone blade, it began to tremble violently, indicating that it wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.
Yang Haoran had not expected the Old Town Chief to come up with such a move, and the power of this move was far greater than he had imagined. According to his estimate, if this continued, Waning Moon would shatter under the intense attack in just a few breaths.
Faced with this situation, Yang Haoran's first thought was to inject a large amount of Yin spirit power into Waning Moon to enhance its strength. However, just as this idea popped into his mind, a force suddenly descended upon him.
This force did not cause any physical harm to his body, but it restricted his movements, causing his body to lose control.
Yang Haoran knew exactly what was happening - he was being controlled by the malevolent spirit object control power, and it was definitely the Guardian Spirit taking advantage of this opportunity to exert its power on his physical body.
In the previous battle, this Guardian Spirit had also attempted to use the same tactic on him, but it had never succeeded because Yang Haoran's strength was far greater, and he had been on guard against the Guardian Spirit, constantly suppressing its power.
However, at this moment, just as he was about to inject Yin spirit power into Waning Moon, the Guardian Spirit successfully seized the opportunity to exert its object control power, causing his body to lose control.
This loss of control only lasted for an instant, and then he broke free from the force.
However, this brief delay had caused him to miss the best opportunity to inject Yin spirit power into Waning Moon.
Meanwhile, the Old Town Chief took advantage of this opportunity to control the evil ghost to increase its attack intensity. The evil ghost grasped the bone blade with both hands and pressed down, causing Waning Moon to emit a series of cracking sounds, and a web of curved cracks appeared on its surface!
In this situation, Yang Haoran knew that it was too late to inject Yin spirit power into Waning Moon, and the most rational thing to do was to dodge immediately to avoid being hit by the bone blade.
However, just as he was about to dodge, he discovered that his body was restricted again, unable to move at all. He initially thought he had fallen under the Guardian Spirit's object control power again, but he immediately rejected this idea.
Because he had just been affected by the Guardian Spirit's power, he was on guard against it, and had mobilized a large amount of Yin spirit power to protect his body. It was impossible for the Guardian Spirit to restrict him again in this situation.
Apart from this reason, he discovered that the force restricting his physical body did not seem to be the malevolent spirit's power, because he couldn't sense the presence of Yin Qi.
As soon as this thought arose in his mind, the ground beneath him suddenly lit up with a series of intersecting light beams, forming an Array Formation.
