Chapter 1131: A Palm and a Fist
The oppressive aura emanating from the Death God's Law Aspect was immensely powerful. Naturally, individuals strong enough were unaffected by such overwhelming pressure, suffering no adverse consequences.
However, those weaker in strength were greatly impacted by this terrifying oppression. Not only were their movements hindered to varying degrees, but some even found it difficult to breathe.
"Scatter immediately! ! !"
A Talisman Master seemed to guess Yang Haoran's intentions and immediately shouted a warning to the other Talisman Masters.
"Why hide? Let's combine our strength and shatter the Law Aspect! That's the most direct approach! With so many of us, are we really afraid of a broken Law Aspect?"
"Right! Let's combine our strength and shatter the God Statue! ! !"
"Don't confront it head-on! Dodge immediately! ! !"
For a moment, some felt that under these circumstances, they should immediately retreat and not directly confront the Death God's Law Aspect. Judging by the immense oppressive aura and power fluctuations it emitted, the Death God's Law Aspect conjured by Yang Haoran possessed formidable might. A direct confrontation would be an utterly irrational move, one that could even cost them their lives.
Only by shattering the Death God's Law Aspect in the shortest possible time could their losses be minimized. This was because a killing move of such immense destructive power exacted a huge toll with each use. For this very reason, many made the same choice: they typically wouldn't deploy such a lethal move until a critical moment.
In their eyes, Yang Haoran must have expended a massive amount of Spirit Power to conjure the Death God's Law Aspect at this moment. As long as they destroyed the Death God's Law Aspect, Yang Haoran would certainly be unable to manifest it again in a short period. During this window, they could eliminate Yang Haoran and wipe out the Gu Mo City Underworld Office.
Therefore, they believed that combining forces to destroy the Death God's Law Aspect was the most rational course of action. Dodging would not only fail to resolve the problem but would also inflict a certain degree of casualties upon their side.
If the casualties belonged to other factions, there would, of course, be no issue; they wouldn't feel any heartache. But if it were their own faction's people who died, it would be far more than just a simple heartache.
They had not guessed wrong; Yang Haoran had indeed expended a considerable amount of Spirit Power to conjure the Death God's Law Aspect in such a short time. However, the profound depth of the Spirit Power within his body was beyond anything these people could possibly fathom.
Furthermore, the sheer might of the Death God's Law Aspect that Yang Haoran had conjured at this moment far surpassed their wildest imaginations; it was not something they could simply destroy at will.
A portion of the people chose to evade, avoiding a direct confrontation with the Death God's Law Aspect. The other portion immediately unleashed their respective techniques, launching an assault against the Death God's Law Aspect hovering above.
Since those who attacked the Death God's Law Aspect did not belong to a single faction, the methods they employed also differed. There were magical artifacts, talismans, blades, spears, staves, and even fierce beasts formed from pure power.
Although their methods were diverse, one thing remained consistent: the power unleashed by these techniques was formidable.
It was only logical. To face the Death God's Law Aspect conjured by Yang Haoran, not only remaining unaffected by its immense oppressive power but even daring to attack it, inherently demonstrated their considerable strength. Without sufficient power, how could they possibly dare to strike at the Death God's Law Aspect at such a moment?
As these individuals launched their attacks, the Death God's Law Aspect also raised an arm, then pressed down with a palm towards the ground below. At that instant, the power fluctuations erupting from it suddenly surged!
The complexions of those below drastically changed. Whether they were preparing to combine forces to destroy the Death God's Law Aspect or opting to evade, all of them, at that very moment, wore expressions of profound shock.
Boom! ! !
A portion of the techniques unleashed by the crowd were annihilated by the violent power before they even touched the Death God's Law Aspect's palm. They didn't even graze the Death God's Law Aspect's hand, let alone inflict any degree of damage upon it.
Another portion managed to connect with the Death God's Law Aspect's palm, but the disparity in strength between the two sides was simply too immense. They shattered in an instant, failing to harm the Death God's Law Aspect in the slightest.
Only a final, pitifully small portion managed to block the descending palm of the Death God's Law Aspect. Merely a handful of individuals possessed techniques capable of such a feat.
Although they had successfully blocked the Death God's Law Aspect's descending palm, these few individuals felt no joy whatsoever. The power of that single palm strike had far exceeded their imaginations. Their original intention was to destroy the Death God's Law Aspect, and failing to achieve their desired outcome naturally left them with no reason to be pleased. Instead, they were overwhelmed by shock at the Death God's Law Aspect's formidable might.
While the crowd was still reeling in shock, and the few individuals who had blocked the Death God's Law Aspect's palm had not yet managed to unleash other techniques, the Death God's Law Aspect clenched its other hand into a fist, then smashed it down from high above!
Boom! ! !
Faced with this punch, the few individuals who had jointly blocked the Death God's Law Aspect dared not attempt to confront it directly. It wasn't that they lacked other powerful techniques, but rather that they simply had no time to deploy them. Thus, they all chose to evade. If they didn't, even if they weren't pulverized into a bloody pulp by the Death God's Law Aspect's punch, they would undoubtedly suffer severe injuries.
Knowing this in their hearts, they naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to take it head-on. Evading was the most rational approach.
None of them were rookies; their combat experience was extensive. Their dodges were perfectly timed, allowing them to successfully evade the Death God's Law Aspect's assault. Neither the previous palm strike nor the subsequent punch inflicted any harm upon them.
But this was true only for these few individuals. The others who had joined them in launching an attack on the Death God's Law Aspect suffered terribly.
Without their resistance, the Death God's Law Aspect's colossal palm directly struck these individuals. Those who were relatively weaker in strength were instantly crushed to death by the strike, while the stronger ones, though not killed, were grievously wounded.
However, the nightmare did not end there. For those grievously wounded by the Death God's Law Aspect's palm strike, their true nightmare had only just begun. Following its palm, the Death God's Law Aspect immediately delivered a punch. Before their severely injured bodies could even regain stability, the fist descended upon them.
It wasn't that they didn't want to dodge, but that they had no opportunity to do so. In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the punch descended upon them!
The ground was gouged into a massive crater by the Death God's Law Aspect's punch. Not only did many of those who had attempted to collectively destroy the Death God's Law Aspect perish, but even some of those who had chosen to evade also died. This was because their strength was limited, and their reaction speed fell far short of the standard required to dodge the Death God's Law Aspect's attacks, which ultimately cost them their lives.
There were also some who had chosen to dodge, and while they didn't lose their lives, they were affected to varying degrees. Some ordinary small fry were even scared out of their wits, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
The formidable aura that the combined forces of the major factions had just formed was, in this very moment, utterly shattered by the Death God's Law Aspect conjured by Yang Haoran!
"Many hands make light work" — this saying is indeed true in some respects. However, when faced with a vast disparity in strength, sheer numbers do not necessarily guarantee an advantage. This is because the opponent can claim many lives with a single move; one more person simply means one more corpse.
The strength of the ordinary members of the various major factions, when compared to Yang Haoran's, was like the difference between a small stream and the vast ocean. Thus, even with their numerical superiority, it was difficult for them to inflict harm upon Yang Haoran. Instead, many of them had already died moments after Yang Haoran had merely finished conjuring his Death God's Law Aspect.
However, not everyone among the major factions' ranks was an ordinary member; they also boasted experts. Especially among the high-ranking officials of these factions, their strength was considerable, and formidable existences like Zhuang Yingjie were exceptionally powerful!
"Yang Haoran, you're not the only one who can summon a Law Aspect!"
A Black Talisman Master roared in fury. His anger stemmed from Yang Haoran, through his control of the Death God's Law Aspect's palm and fist, having claimed the lives of many Talisman Masters. Although he wasn't the top leader of the Gu Mo City Talisman Cult, his position was second only to Yi Xuan, and he could not stand idly by and witness such a situation unfold.
As his roar echoed, the space above the Death God Temple violently rippled once more. A Law Aspect, no smaller in stature than the Death God's Law Aspect, instantly coalesced. This Law Aspect was none other than the Talisman Ancestor's Law Aspect of the Talisman Cult!
