Chapter 1271: Corpse Suppression Talisman
As soon as Yang Haoran spoke, he naturally attracted all eyes once again. Among these gazes, some were questioning, some were angry, but most looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Are you all imbeciles? Are you pigs in a pigsty? Why are you paying attention to him? Hurry up and follow orders!"
Shi Weihan saw that his subordinates had actually frozen because of a single sentence from Yang Haoran. Already furious, he couldn't help but curse loudly.
Shi Weihan's loud cursing caused some high-ranking members to feel dissatisfied, but even if they felt some dissatisfaction, they did not show it on their faces. Some people even dared not feel any dissatisfaction at all.
Just as they were about to move again, Yang Haoran suddenly erupted with a powerful energy fluctuation. The violent power spread and surged in all directions. Even though the Corpse Sect members were still some distance from Yang Haoran, some of the relatively weaker individuals were still staggered and swayed by the shockwave created by this power.
At this moment, a visible surge of Yin Qi rose from Yang Haoran's body. Its density was in no way inferior to Zhong Siyu's at that moment. Around his body, two spherical masses of Yin Qi violently churned, slowly rotating around him.
The appearance of these two masses of Yin Qi meant that he had simultaneously opened his Heaven and Earth Souls. Because within this violently churning Yin Qi, his Soul Armaments were being nurtured.
Although Yang Haoran's figure and appearance at this moment were still as ordinary and unremarkable as before, at this moment, he undoubtedly became the most striking focal point present. Everyone watched, dumbfounded.
The reason for such a strong reaction from the crowd was not because the power he unleashed was so immense that no one present could resist it, but because no one present had imagined he was hiding so deeply, to be able to unleash such powerful energy.
The most shocked, however, was still the goatee-bearded man, the Emissary of Death. As an Underworld Official from the Underworld Office himself, seeing that Yang Haoran actually had the ability to open both his Heaven and Earth Souls, how could he remain calm?
He had originally thought Yang Haoran was either a Night Watcher under another Emissary of Death, or an Emissary of Death who had opened his Heaven Soul, just like himself. He had never imagined that Yang Haoran actually possessed the ability to open both his Heaven and Earth Souls.
Although an Underworld Official capable of opening both Heaven and Earth Souls wasn't necessarily a Guardian, even if not a Guardian, within the ranks of Emissaries of Death, such an individual was a rare and powerful existence. The goatee-bearded man, who understood this clearly in his heart, seeing that Yang Haoran was precisely such a formidable existence, was naturally incredibly shocked.
However, what the goatee-bearded man didn't know was that Yang Haoran was not an Emissary of Death at all, but one of the forty-five Guardians of the Underworld Office. If he knew, his shock would certainly multiply. It wasn't that he lacked imagination, but that he simply dared not even conceive of such a possibility.
Facing the crowd's shock, Yang Haoran merely gave a faint smile. Then, extending a finger towards the location of the Corpse Sect's mid-to-high level members, he lightly tapped. An arm-thick black chain instantly coalesced and shot out with the speed of lightning, like a black bolt of lightning.
Because the chain's speed was simply too fast, the two people blocking the chain's path had no time to dodge before their bodies were pierced by the chain. Their protective Yin Qi, and their physical bodies reinforced by secret arts, were as fragile as paper in front of this chain, utterly vulnerable. They didn't block the chain in the slightest.
Although this chain appeared unremarkable, its appearance was no different from a chain condensed by an ordinary Night Watcher. However, the power they contained was worlds apart. If an ordinary person were to unleash this move, let alone piercing the bodies of two Corpse Sect high-ranking members, the moment it touched the two high-ranking members, the chain would absolutely be shattered by the protective Corpse Qi emanating from their bodies, making it impossible to harm them in the slightest. But when the same move was unleashed by Yang Haoran, its power was entirely different. Not only did it instantly pierce the bodies of two Corpse Sect high-ranking members, but it also firmly bound one person behind them. Most importantly, he performed this move with extreme casualness.
Yang Haoran lightly hooked his finger, and the chain suddenly gave a violent tremor. The bodies of the two people whose bodies were pierced instantly exploded, and the person bound by the chain then shot rapidly towards Yang Haoran.
From this, it could be seen that Yang Haoran's target was the person being bound, not the two whose bodies exploded. The reason those two were pierced by the chain was because, from the angle of Yang Haoran's strike, those two happened to be directly in front of Yang Haoran's target.
All of this happened too quickly. The two people whose bodies were pierced hadn't even processed what was happening, hadn't even felt the pain of their bodies being pierced, before their physical bodies were torn apart by a powerful force.
The person bound by the chain also hadn't reacted at first, but by the time he reacted, he had already appeared before Yang Haoran.
"Heh heh, your name is Fu Yan, isn't it?"
Yang Haoran asked with a faint smile, looking at the man before him. The man's expression changed drastically. He did not answer Yang Haoran; instead, he unleashed all of his power. Visible gray gas rose from his body, and the chain binding him emitted creaking sounds, looking as if it could not withstand such terrifying power and was about to shatter.
While unleashing all his power, this person wanted to retreat and put distance between himself and Yang Haoran. Because the distance between him and Yang Haoran was currently too close, before fully understanding Yang Haoran's strength, he naturally did not want to be so close to Yang Haoran, lest Yang Haoran suddenly employ some means that he could not defend against.
What made him furious, however, was that Yang Haoran seemed to have been prepared. Just as he unleashed all his power and intended to retreat, Yang Haoran suddenly waved his hand casually, and a Gold Talisman appeared out of thin air and shot towards him, instantly sticking to his body.
The Gold Talisman ignited, and a powerful Talisman Spirit Power descended upon him, surprisingly suppressing the power he had just unleashed by brute force. The rings of chain wrapped around his body, which had been on the verge of shattering, regained their calm due to the Gold Talisman's suppression of his internal power.
"Heh heh, it doesn't matter if you don't answer me. The moment I invited you out, I already confirmed your identity. The reason I asked was simply to tell you that the person I'm looking for is you. As I just said, you are very important to me, so don't go throwing your life away with them; that's too foolish. Why don't you go down to the cave and get some good rest, have some tea, chat, and reminisce with another friend of mine, and enjoy the show that's about to unfold."
Yang Haoran smiled faintly, then snapped his fingers. A mass of Yin Qi appeared out of thin air, enveloping the person bound by the chain, then forcibly flying him towards Ma Ling's location below.
This person was indeed Fu Yan, one of the elders of the Corpse Sect, and also the murderer who destroyed the Ma Family, according to Ma Ling.
Originally, Yang Haoran did not know this person, because he had never met him. But just now, when Zhong Siyu attacked and devoured the Night Watchers, he had a conversation with Ma Ling. From Ma Ling's words, he learned that Fu Yan was among the high-ranking members behind Shi Weihan, and from these high-ranking members, he identified who Fu Yan was.
It was precisely because of this that he deliberately delayed for a while longer at the cave entrance, giving Shi Weihan and the goatee-bearded man a chance to fall into internal strife.
According to Ma Ling, Fu Yan not only raised Corpse Kings, but his own strength was also very formidable, equivalent to the early Earth Soul realm in the Underworld Office system. Therefore, in order to subdue Fu Yan in one swift move and avoid harming him, Yang Haoran decisively opened his Heaven and Earth Souls, maintaining his strength at roughly the mid-Earth Soul realm.
Fu Yan, facing Yang Haoran's level of strength, was naturally no match. However, he was not without the ability to resist; this could be seen from how the chain binding him was on the verge of shattering instantly.
Yang Haoran also knew that subduing Fu Yan with just a single chain condensed from Spirit Power was certainly unrealistic. Therefore, before making his move, he had prepared a Gold Talisman-grade Corpse Suppression Talisman for Fu Yan.
The greatest effect of the Corpse Suppression Talisman was its ability to seal and suppress the power within zombies. Although Fu Yan was not a zombie, the power he cultivated had many similarities to the power of zombies. Therefore, the Corpse Suppression Talisman also had a certain effect on him; although it could not completely seal his internal power, it was still capable of suppressing most of his internal power for a certain period of time.
