Chapter 1180: Xiang Chuan is Scared Witless

When Yang Haoran had sent Xia Xinger away, she was already struggling against her inner demons.

After being sent away by Yang Haoran, she relied on her formidable willpower, along with the assistance of Zuo Meng and Xiang Chuan, to successfully make the inner demons deep within her mind fall back into slumber. This allowed her to regain her lucidity.

However, this process was quite lengthy, consuming a considerable amount of her time, a lot of Zuo Meng's Saintly Power, and some of Xiang Chuan's precious Dānyào, before she finally managed to escape the control of her inner demons.

After Xia Xinger regained consciousness, Xiang Chuan intended to take his leave because he was quite worried about Yang Haoran. He wanted to return to the Ancient Demon Palace to check on the situation. In his capacity as a Pharmacist, his presence by Yang Haoran's side would undoubtedly be a significant help.

Upon learning of Xiang Chuan's intention, Xia Xinger decided to return to the Ancient Demon Palace with him. Zuo Meng initially disagreed with Xia Xinger's decision because Xia Xinger was very weak after regaining consciousness, and she didn't want Xia Xinger to take such a risk. She felt that it would be the most rational approach for just her and Xiang Chuan to rush to the Ancient Demon Palace.

However, Xia Xinger did not agree with Zuo Meng's suggestion, insisting on going to the Ancient Demon Palace herself. Zuo Meng had no choice, knowing that Xia Xinger's decisions were not something she could change. This led to the scene of the three of them arriving together at the Ancient Demon Palace.

Upon reaching the Ancient Demon Palace, the three were stunned by the sight before them. Even Xia Xinger, who was usually as calm as still water no matter what she encountered, revealed a look of profound shock.

Although they had sensed earlier that the situation at the Ancient Demon Palace was extremely complex, they didn't know the exact details. Before exiting the spatial rift, they could see some aspects of the Ancient Demon Palace from within the rift, but it was only a partial view. It was only after emerging from the spatial rift that they realized how bloody and tragic this battle truly was, far more brutal than they had imagined!

Xia Xinger's expression changed. Although she was somewhat weak at the moment, her perception was still sharp, and her reaction speed was equally swift.

"Move!"

As Xia Xinger spoke the warning, her body immediately dodged to the side. Xiang Chuan and Zuo Meng's reactions were equally fast; even before Xia Xinger spoke, they had sensed Remnant Moon rapidly approaching and knew that Yang Haoran had attacked them.

Although Yang Haoran's attack target was Xia Xinger, the three of them were in the same position, so if they didn't dodge, Xiang Chuan and Zuo Meng would certainly be affected. Thus, dodging was absolutely necessary.

All three reacted quickly, and combined with the considerable distance between Remnant Moon and them, they successfully evaded the blow. Both factors were indispensable.

Otherwise, given Remnant Moon's speed, dodging that attack would have been quite difficult for them.

"Big Brother! Don't get agitated! First, see who we are! ! !"

Xiang Chuan urgently warned him. His voice drew Yang Haoran's attention, and when Yang Haoran turned to look at him, he clearly saw Yang Haoran's blood-red, icy eyes.

"Emissary Yang's inner demon has also been awakened. Now he recognizes no one, and you are no exception!"

It was Zuo Meng who spoke. Her intention was naturally to warn Xiang Chuan, but at this moment, Xiang Chuan already understood what was happening without her reminder, as Yang Haoran's blood-red eyes had explained everything.

Xiang Chuan's heart jolted. Before he could speak again, Remnant Moon, under Yang Haoran's control, shot towards him.

"Big Brother! Wake up quickly! If you kill me, your loss will be immense! ! !"

Xiang Chuan's face paled. Without thinking, he immediately dodged, and while doing so, he didn't forget to frantically yell at Yang Haoran, hoping to use this method to awaken Yang Haoran's rationality. Even if he could only restore a sliver of Yang Haoran's lucidity, it would be a good thing for him.

But from Yang Haoran's reaction, it seemed he hadn't awakened Yang Haoran's primary consciousness, because Yang Haoran didn't stop his attack because of his words. Missing its target, Remnant Moon changed direction and attacked him again.

Facing Remnant Moon, how could Xiang Chuan dare to hide his strength? He unleashed 100% of his power, knowing full well that if he didn't, he would quickly be cut into pieces by Remnant Moon.

However, even with all his might, Xiang Chuan found it extremely difficult to evade Remnant Moon. In just a few breaths, several cuts had appeared on his body from Remnant Moon.

"What are you two doing! Hurry and help!"

Remnant Moon brushed past him, almost slicing off his entire head. Xiang Chuan was scared out of his wits. In his panic, he couldn't help but roar at Xia Xinger and Zuo Meng.

Just as his roar faded, Xia Xinger's voice resonated through the skies above Ancient Demon City.

"Holy Art! Purification!"

Xia Xinger's voice, unlike her usual calm, was filled with solemnity. As her voice rang out, the space above Yang Haoran violently rippled. Sacred sounds echoed, and dense, intricate sacred runes appeared, followed by a powerful holy light that crashed down, targeting Yang Haoran below.

Upon arriving, Xia Xinger immediately noticed Yang Haoran's abnormality. Having experienced the awakening of her own inner demons, she was very familiar with Yang Haoran's current state and believed that he, too, had his inner demons awakened.

Therefore, after successfully dodging the incoming Remnant Moon, she immediately endured the weakening sensation in her body and forcibly formed hand seals. The Holy Art she prepared to cast was precisely the "Purification" art that Zuo Meng had used on her earlier.

Given Zuo Meng's ability at that time, casting this Holy Art was enough to awaken her primary consciousness. She believed that with her own ability, casting this Holy Art might not guarantee 100% success in awakening Yang Haoran, but it would at least have some effect. If it could awaken Yang Haoran's primary consciousness, that would be for the best; if not, there would still be time to think of other methods.

When Xiang Chuan frantically roared, her hand seals had just been completed, leading to the current scene.

Feeling the powerful energy fluctuations from above, Yang Haoran did not dodge immediately. Instead, he looked up, then raised his arm, seemingly wanting to attack the area where the Saintly Power had condensed.

But then, as the sacred sounds echoed, his body trembled slightly, and his raised arm instantly froze in mid-air.

Boom! ! !

Just then, a thunderous explosion erupted from the holy light-condensed area above, echoing throughout Ancient Demon City like a clap of thunder. A blinding holy light descended with lightning speed, striking Yang Haoran's body in an instant.

Boom! ! !

Another colossal sound. Yang Haoran was engulfed by the holy light, his body crashing into the ground along with it, creating a bottomless pit.

Xiang Chuan was desperately dodging Remnant Moon. Although he successfully avoided it several times, each instance was a hair's breadth away, and he never completely evaded it, resulting in several wounds on his body.

Now, facing Remnant Moon's renewed assault, even though he was using all his strength, he was still half a beat too slow. Remnant Moon instantly appeared before his face.

Xiang Chuan froze, his mind filled with only one thought: "It's over!"

But to his surprise, Remnant Moon did not cleave his head. Instead, it sharply halted right before his face.

Crack, crack, crack, crack! ! !

Remnant Moon emitted a series of crisp sounds, then shattered with a crash, transforming into strands of Yin Qi and dissipating!
