Finding himself suddenly in a world of absolute darkness, Lu Laotou, as a Spiritual Master, naturally knew what was happening. He knew he had been hit by an illusion.
Cursing inwardly, he immediately wanted to use a Spiritual Art to break free from the illusion. However, just as his hands moved to form a seal, his body was instantly sent flying by a terrifying force.
A wretched cry escaped his lips, and the world of darkness before his eyes shattered like glass struck by a heavy blow. The world he saw with his eyes returned to normal. He hadn't even had time to cast a Spiritual Art to break through the illusion before the illusion itself vanished.
However, he couldn't feel glad about it in the slightest, because in his line of sight, he saw half a body. It was a lower torso, and judging by the trousers, it seemed to be his own body.
He knew that it was all over, at least for him.
As this thought arose in his mind, his vision went black, and he could no longer feel any pain.
The reason such a sudden change occurred to Lu Laotou was primarily due to his Guardian Spirit.
However, precisely at this moment, his Guardian Spirit also made a choice.
Only, his Guardian Spirit did not choose him, but instead chose Yang Haoran.
Thus, while he was still feeling joy over the successful coalescence of the Spiritual Ghost Tree, his Guardian Spirit cast an illusion on him, which was why he instantly fell into a world of absolute darkness.
Under the effect of the illusion, his body was naturally affected, coming to a halt. The moment his body paused, the power of the bone spurs also weakened.
Facing Remnant Moon's might, Lu Laotou found it difficult to hold on even with all his strength. Once the power of the bone spurs weakened, Remnant Moon instantly shattered all of them, and sent Lu Laotou flying.
Lu Laotou let out a shriek on the spot. Before he could even stabilize himself, Remnant Moon retracted to its normal size, and with extreme speed, transformed into a streak of black light, directly piercing his body and cleaving him in half at the waist. He thus followed in the footsteps of the young man.
Had it not been for Lu Laotou's Guardian Spirit suddenly switching sides, Yang Haoran would have needed more time to take down Lu Laotou. It was even possible that he would have no further opportunity to capture Lu Laotou, because the woman had already successfully coalesced the Spiritual Ghost Tree. The woman would certainly have come to alleviate the pressure on Lu Laotou and would not have stood by and watched him kill Lu Laotou.
But with Lu Laotou's Guardian Spirit's help, things were different. The woman, who had successfully coalesced the Spiritual Ghost Tree, was in a rage. She did not immediately support Lu Laotou, but instead focused on eliminating Tang Shi and the other Guardian Spirit. It was at this moment that Lu Laotou's Guardian Spirit suddenly defected, giving Yang Haoran a perfect opportunity to slay Lu Laotou.
He did not miss this opportunity. He immediately eliminated Lu Laotou with lightning-fast means. Not to mention the enraged woman didn't react in time; even if she had instantly reacted and launched an attack on Yang Haoran, given the situation at the time, it would have been utterly too late.
Moreover, given Yang Haoran's character, he would absolutely not abandon the chance to slay Lu Laotou just because the woman launched an attack on him. Since he was determined to kill Lu Laotou, then even if it meant trading injuries for a life, he would seize the opportunity to eliminate Lu Laotou from this life-and-death struggle.
Lu Laotou's body, severed at the waist, successively fell to the ground. His Guardian Spirit merely glanced at it before withdrawing its gaze, and then looked at Yang Haoran.
On this Guardian Spirit's face, there was no guilt, no lingering attachment, no sadness. There was only the lightness that came with liberation.
"I agree."
After the Guardian Spirit softly uttered this sentence to Yang Haoran, its Spirit Body immediately transformed into a mass of Yin Qi, and rushed towards the woman.
Watching this Guardian Spirit charge towards the woman, the smile on Yang Haoran's face deepened slightly. Although he had previously made promises and oaths to these three ghosts, not at all looking like an Underworld Official, from the current situation, it was all worth it.
At the very least, he had successfully obtained the help of these three Guardian Spirits as he wished. With them as helpers, the unfolding situation would be incredibly favorable for him, even if the woman had successfully performed her Spiritual Art.
Lu Laotou's Guardian Spirit rushed towards the woman who was controlling the Spiritual Ghost Tree. To exert some influence over the woman, he immediately cast an illusion on her as he charged.
In truth, the illusions of Malevolent Spirits were much stronger than those of Evil Spirits. However, the extent of their influence still depended on the target.
For Underworld Officials and Spirit Mediums, illusions had a relatively much weaker effect on them. Furthermore, both had their own methods to break illusions, so the impact of illusions on them was limited.
Of course, 'limited' was merely a relative term; it didn't mean illusions had no effect on them at all.
At this moment, the woman was controlling the Spiritual Ghost Tree to attack Tang Shi and the other Guardian Spirit. Facing the countless crimson tongues, the two continuously dodged, utterly unable to launch an attack on the woman, nor even finding an opportunity to cast an illusion on her.
The two had already exhausted all their strength dodging. However, due to the sheer number of tongues, coupled with their rapid attack frequency and strong penetrative power, within a short time, the Yin Qi that comprised their Spirit Bodies was still struck multiple times by these tongues.
Each time they were hit, the Yin Qi that formed their Spirit Bodies would be pierced by the crimson tongues. They appeared to suffer no significant harm, but in reality, the damage they sustained was far from minor, because each time their Spirit Bodies were pierced, they would weaken slightly.
Lu Laotou's Guardian Spirit suddenly cast an illusion on the woman. The woman's body paused slightly. However, in that instant her body paused, a black streak of light shot forth from the distance.
This black streak was precisely Yang Haoran's Soul Armament, Remnant Moon. As this Guardian Spirit charged towards the woman, Yang Haoran had recalled Remnant Moon, preparing to launch an attack on the woman. The woman, affected by the Guardian Spirit's illusion, presented a good opportunity for him to make a move.
However, the woman's reaction was also swift. The illusion only caused her a fleeting moment of impact, and she immediately broke free from it.
Just as Remnant Moon was about to strike the woman, crimson tongues suddenly lashed out and struck Remnant Moon. The immense force deflected Remnant Moon, causing it to graze past the woman, without inflicting any harm on her.
As for the Guardian Spirit who had cast the illusion on the woman, he had originally intended to mimic the previous one and possess the woman, thereby creating an opportunity for Yang Haoran to land a killing blow. However, before he could even get close to the woman, he was forced to continuously dodge multiple tongues, and was utterly unable to approach the woman in the slightest.
Yang Haoran watched all this unfold. While he somewhat regretted not delivering a killing blow to the woman, he also formed some opinions regarding the tactics of the three Guardian Spirits.
Three Malevolent Spirits were fighting the woman simultaneously. Logically, even without his intervention, the woman would likely have found it hard to resist. After all, the woman's Guardian Spirit had already betrayed her, and a Spirit Medium without their Guardian Spirit would have their strength greatly diminished.
However, the reality was that the three Guardian Spirits were suppressed by the woman, and had even injured their Spirit Bodies, unable to even get close to the woman.
The woman's powerful Spiritual Ghost Tree was only one reason for this situation. The more crucial reason was that the three Guardian Spirits' tactics were flawed. Furthermore, the three of them had no coordinated understanding whatsoever, each fighting their own battle, which led to the current state of affairs.
If things continued like this, Yang Haoran worried that a good hand would be played terribly. So, while controlling Remnant Moon to attack the woman, he couldn't help but speak up and remind the three Malevolent Spirits:
“Since you can't get close, then stay further away from the Spiritual Ghost Tree. Do you really have no other methods besides illusions and possession? Why must you get close to the target to act? ”
Yang Haoran's reminder caused the expressions of the three Guardian Spirits to change, and simultaneously caused the woman's expression to shift
Reminded by Yang Haoran in this manner, the three Guardian Spirits seemed to have understood the point. Without any hesitation, they began to retreat into the distance while dodging attacks.
Conversely, the woman’s face was so dark it looked like water was about to drip from it. Under Moonlight God of Night
