Realm of the Night God

Chapter 711: True Strength

An Array Formation appeared beneath his feet, causing Yang Haoran's eyebrows to furrow slightly. Apart from the slight furrowing of his eyebrows, he didn't show much emotional fluctuation.

The area covered by the Array Formation was not small, enveloping the entire region where he was standing, and his current position was right at the center of the formation.

If one were to look down from high above, they would discover that the Array Formation was actually a Python Totem, and Yang Haoran's body was being tightly entwined by a powerful force.

The form this power took was that of a massive python Yang Haoran's body was suddenly restrained because the python had wrapped itself around him.

Yang Haoran thought to himself that the appearance of this formation must be related to the Old Town Chief. From the start of the battle until now, he hadn't seen the Old Town Chief set up the Array Formation, and the spirit master he had killed earlier didn't have such an action either.

So, this formation must have been set up by the Old Town Chief before he arrived, but since the formation wasn't activated, he couldn't sense its presence.

From this point, it seemed very likely that he had been calculated by the Old Town Chief!

In an instant, these speculations flashed through Yang Haoran's mind, but he couldn't afford to think deeply about it now. His top priority was to break free from the restraints of the formation as quickly as possible, shatter the python entwining his body, and then immediately dodge, or else the evil ghost's bone blade would strike him.

But just at this moment, the Waning Moon, which was already covered in cracks, could no longer withstand the bone blade!

"Die!"Old Town Chief's sinister laughter echoed, revealing an extreme sense of pleasure. Then, with a loud crash, the massive Waning Moon exploded, and the bone blade slashed towards Yang Haoran.

Another loud crash followed, and the dust and smoke at Yang Haoran's location billowed, causing the entire mountain to shake violently.

"Hahaha, if you can still survive this, I, Old Man, will cook tofu for you with my palm. From now on, there will be no more Yang Haoran in this world, and your Lecheng Yin Division will need to find a new Burial Master!"

Old Town Chief was holding a formation disc in his hand, gazing at Yang Haoran's location with a huge grin, looking extremely pleased.

His Guardian Spirit also let out a sigh of relief at this moment, as Yang Haoran had brought him immense pressure, not just in terms of strength, but also because of Yang Haoran's calm and composed demeanor, which made him feel uneasy.

Now that Yang Haoran had finally been dealt with, this pressure had instantly disappeared.

However, this feeling of relief only lasted for an instant, and then not only did the Guardian Spirit's face change, but Old Town Chief's expression also turned into one of utter astonishment, as if an ordinary person had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

A terrifying power fluctuation erupted from Yang Haoran's location, and a fierce, dark wind howled, dispersing the dust and smoke. Under the gaze of the two, a figure slowly emerged.

This person was none other than Yang Haoran, who they both thought had died.

Yang Haoran's body, which had been entwined by the python, was now free, and he had single-handedly caught the bone blade.

In front of the massive blade, which was over 10 meters long, Yang Haoran's body seemed insignificant, but he had somehow managed to catch the blade with one hand.

Yang Haoran's survival was already shocking enough, but seeing him not only avoid the bone blade but also catch it with one hand was even more astonishing.

However, this was not what shocked them the most. What truly shocked them was the power fluctuation Yang Haoran was emitting, which was simply too strong, to the point of being terrifying!

Both Old Town Chief and his Guardian Spirit felt insignificant in the face of this power fluctuation, and they both knew that they couldn't possibly match this strength!

"How can your Yin spirit power be so strong? Not to mention Lecheng, this tiny place, even a Burial Master in a medium-sized city wouldn't have Yin spirit power as strong as yours. You're just a newcomer who has only been in the Yin Division for a few years, how can you possibly have such powerful Yin spirit power?"

The Old Town Chief's emotions were extremely agitated, his tone filled with shock and disbelief. Yang Haoran's repeated displays of stronger and stronger abilities had already made it difficult for him to accept, and now it was even more unbearable.

He had thought that Yang Haoran's previous display of power was his strongest state, but the current reality told him that it wasn't the case at all.

He really couldn't understand how someone who had only been in the Yin Division for a short few years could have Yin spirit power that was so terrifyingly strong. What made him able to be so powerful?

As the Old Town Chief spoke, the evil ghost holding the bone blade wanted to continue slashing down, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't budge Yang Haoran's hand that was grasping the blade.

Since it couldn't slash down, the malevolent spirit thought of retrieving the bone blade, but it was the same - it used all its strength, but couldn't retrieve the blade from Yang Haoran's hand. Yang Haoran's hand grasping the blade was like it had infinite power, and the evil ghost's abilities couldn't move it at all.

Yang Haoran directly ignored the evil ghost's series of actions, and after hearing the Old Town Chief's words that were both shocked and disbelieving, he looked at the Old Town Chief, and a faint smile reappeared on his face.

"Old Town Chief, don't you know that there's a profession called Alchemist in this world?"

Yang Haoran didn't explain further, only responding to the Old Town Chief with this one sentence, leaving the rest for the Old Town Chief to guess.

Yang Haoran's words were naturally a lie - his current state was actually his true strongest state. He had originally thought that his previous state was enough to deal with the Old Town Chief, and he also wanted to exercise his muscles, so he didn't release his full power.

But what he didn't expect was that he seemed to have been calculated by the Old Town Chief, and in his previous state, he had step by step walked into a desperate situation. In a life-or-death situation, he naturally couldn't care about preserving his strength, and he released all his power.

If he hadn't preserved his strength, he would have probably lost his life in that situation, and the hope of survival would have been very slim.

However, in order not to make himself seem too high-profile, he denied that the power he had released was his true strength, and instead brought up Alchemists.

The purpose of his words was very clear - he wanted to push all his abnormal strength onto elixirs or pills, and it wasn't impossible that there were elixirs or pills that could temporarily increase Yin spirit power.

As for why he wanted to do this, it was directly related to his way of doing things - he knew the principle of "walls have ears".

Yang Haoran's response made the Old Town Chief stunned for a moment, although Yang Haoran had only mentioned the profession of Alchemist, and hadn't explained further. But the Old Town Chief thought he understood the whole story.

And Yang Haoran, after speaking, smiled and took action.

He saw that the hand grasping the bone blade's blade suddenly exerted force, and a series of crisp cracking sounds were heard. The over 30-foot-long bone blade was directly shattered by him.

The Old Town Chief was shocked, and at this time, he came back to his senses, immediately controlling the evil ghost to attack Yang Haoran, while shouting loudly to his Guardian Spirit.

"Quickly escape!"

As the shout sounded, the Old Town Chief had already rushed out, and his Guardian Spirit didn't hesitate, choosing to escape immediately.

Joking, Yang Haoran's previous state was already not a match for him, and now that Yang Haoran had released such terrifying Yin spirit power, he was even less of a match. Where would he dare to continue staying?

The Waning Moon that had been shattered by the bone blade was re-condensed by Yang Haoran, and after re-condensing, the Waning Moon restored to its normal size. Under Yang Haoran's control, it directly attacked the incoming evil ghost.

The Waning Moon circled around the evil ghost at an extremely fast speed, and the over 65-foot-tall evil ghost was cut into pieces. The speed was so fast that it was completely different from before.

All of this happened in an instant. The Old Town Chief and his Guardian Spirit had just rushed out, and the evil ghost let out a mournful cry, being cut into pieces by the Waning Moon and dispersing into Yin Qi.

The Old Town Chief's face changed greatly, and his eyes even revealed panic. He was very clear that after the evil ghost was eliminated by Yang Haoran, it would be his turn next. In his panic, he activated the formation disc in his hand.
