Chapter 1278: Surrounded by Three
The alluring woman, who had initially worn a seductive expression, stiffened for a moment upon hearing Yang Haoran's words. However, she quickly recovered, regaining her captivating and alluring demeanor as if Yang Haoran's statement hadn't affected her at all.
Nevertheless, anyone observing closely could discern that Yang Haoran's words had indeed impacted the alluring woman, and quite significantly at that. Otherwise, her facial expression wouldn't have suddenly frozen.
"Hehehehe, what exactly does this Emissary seek from this humble one? It's just that this humble one is already a married woman; some things are long gone, and I fear I cannot satisfy the Emissary's demands."
The alluring woman, while unleashing fierce attacks against Yang Haoran with her demonic arts, chuckled suggestively at him. Her choice of words, her expressions, and her gestures were all laden with sexual innuendo. To enhance the power of her Enchantment Art, she even deliberately exposed some sensitive parts of her body during their struggle. If circumstances hadn't forbidden it, she might have directly pounced on Yang Haoran to deploy her charm.
Though Yang Haoran's will was firm, facing the alluring woman's increasingly blatant and explicit provocations, his mind was still somewhat affected. Even he couldn't completely resist her Enchantment Art, which clearly demonstrated the formidable extent of her charm.
While maintaining his resolve, Yang Haoran also developed a killing intent towards this woman. Her Enchantment Art was truly potent and difficult to guard against, making it best to eliminate her beforehand to prevent her from exploiting any openings and influencing his mind.
"Heh, you possess what I desire, for what I desire is your life. And a life, I believe, you won't willingly surrender to me. So, I shall take it myself!"
After Yang Haoran's words fell, without any discernible movement from him, a multitude of black chains suddenly materialized around his body. These black chains, like streaks of black lightning, swiftly dispersed the alluring woman's attacks.
Furthermore, Yang Haoran had then effortlessly shattered her attacks. Such formidable strength made her inwardly lament her predicament. She knew that if things continued this way, it wouldn't be long before she met a tragic end at Yang Haoran's hands—a fate she certainly did not desire.
"Gou, how much longer are you going to stand there gawking? Do you truly believe you can save your dog life by merely watching from the sidelines? This is a life-or-death struggle; losing means paying with your life, and you're no exception!"
The alluring woman roared at the goatee-bearded man not far away. By now, she had shed her seductive facade, her expression icy and anxious. The reason she abandoned the charm that could mesmerize any man was because she knew its effect on Yang Haoran was too minimal, to an unacceptable degree. Furthermore, her mood at the moment was far from pleasant, and such emotions would drastically diminish the power of her Enchantment Art. Thus, she simply stopped using her charm, allowing her true emotions to show on her face.
As for why she roared at the goatee-bearded man, it was because he stood rooted to the spot as if scared senseless, failing to promptly attack Yang Haoran. Filled with vexation, she had lashed out at him.
The alluring woman's roar caused a flicker of hesitation on the goatee-bearded man's face. The reason he had frozen in place and not attacked was that he knew he was no match for Yang Haoran. Attacking Yang Haoran would simply be courting death.
However, the alluring woman's roar had made him realize a harsh truth: even if he didn't attack Yang Haoran, if the Corpse Sect were to fall, his fate would still be death. Only if the Corpse Sect emerged victorious from this struggle could he save his life!
Of course, he had also considered escaping amidst the chaos. Yet, his power was limited; he lacked the ability to tear space within this restraint barrier, nor could he directly break through it. As for asking Shi Weihan to remove the barrier and let him leave—that was utterly impossible. Understanding this, he naturally had no choice but to abandon the idea of escape.
After a brief hesitation, the goatee-bearded man decided to act. It wasn't out of bravery, but because he had no other option. Had there been any other choice, he would never have made such a decision!
"You scum of the Underworld Office! Today, I shall represent the Underworld Office and purge you, traitor, for consorting with spirits! Heaven Soul, Open!
!"
A roar erupted from the goatee-bearded man's mouth, followed by a surge of powerful Spirit Power erupting from his body. Alongside him, a mass of Yin Qi appeared, and within this violently churning Yin Qi, his Soul Armament was brewing—his only Soul Armament at present.
The power fluctuations released by the goatee-bearded man at this moment were indeed strong, but this 'strength' was merely relative to his former self. Compared to Yang Haoran, who had opened both his Heaven and Earth Souls, he was completely on a different level. Not to mention Yang Haoran, he couldn't even compare to the alluring woman; the gap between them was significant.
Although the goatee-bearded man's roar at Yang Haoran was imposing, Yang Haoran didn't take his words—meant to bolster his courage—seriously.
The alluring woman, of course, paid no heed to the goatee-bearded man's roar. However, she was quite satisfied with his current attitude. After all, having one more person to deal with Yang Haoran would undoubtedly reduce the pressure on her; it could only benefit her.
The alluring woman, having already witnessed Yang Haoran's formidable power, knew that dealing with him would be exceedingly difficult. So, seeing that the goatee-bearded man had also opened his Heaven Soul and unleashed his full strength, she no longer held back. A beast-like roar escaped her lips, and then her face and figure began to contort, transforming in the blink of an eye into a massive yellow fox.
Under normal circumstances, demons can only fully unleash their combat prowess after reverting to their true forms. While not absolute, this is true for the vast majority of them. Since the alluring woman chose to revert to her true form at this moment, it indicated that she belonged to the type who could only fully exert her power after doing so.
Yang Haoran hadn't guessed wrong; this alluring woman was indeed from the Yellow Fox Clan of Lieyang Mountain, as her current transformation into a yellow fox body served as the clearest proof.
Having reverted to her true form, the alluring woman could no longer exert even a hint of temptation over the opposite sex. After all, few men would feel desire for an animal, nor would many brave warriors dare to let an animal ride atop them.
Although the alluring woman had lost her beauty and allure by reverting to her true form, the power fluctuations she emanated had significantly increased due to the restoration of her original body.
After reverting to her true form, the alluring woman let out a long howl towards the sky. Her eyes, which had once seemed to speak, now became icily piercing, and this coldness was directed entirely at Yang Haoran.
At the same time, a furious roar came from another direction, followed by an angry, threatening male voice.
"You brat! If you dare harm even a single hair on my wife, I swear I'll rip out your soul and torture it for a hundred years!"
As the voice faded, a figure suddenly appeared between Yang Haoran and the alluring woman. This person was none other than Shi Weihan, the Door Master of the Corpse Sect.
Shi Weihan's expression at this moment was grim, and he bore some injuries on his body. Although the wounds weren't severe, he was indeed scratched.
Earlier, Shi Weihan had attempted to rescue Fu Yan. The moment he moved, several Ghost Fiend Soul Chains summoned by Yang Haoran blocked his path, launching fierce attacks against him. Left with no choice, he had to temporarily abandon rescuing Fu Yan and contend with the Ghost Fiend Soul Chains summoned by Yang Haoran. The reason he now appeared here, of course, was because he had completely dispersed all of Yang Haoran's summoned Ghost Fiend Soul Chains!
Shi Weihan's appearance trapped Yang Haoran in a situation where he was surrounded by three individuals!
