Chapter 669: The Cat Demon's Shock and Fury
The Cat Demon lashed out with a claw towards its rear, precisely colliding with the Ghost Head of the Ghost Fiend Soul Chain.
Boom! ! !
With a thunderous crash, the Ghost Head of the Ghost Fiend Soul Chain bit down on the tip of the Cat Demon's sharp claw. Then, with a violent tug, the Ghost Head flung the Cat Demon's massive body away.
Sinister cackling once again emanated from the Ghost Head. The terrifying and eerie Ghost Head swayed left and right like a snake's, and behind it, a thick chain materialized.
Before the Cat Demon could steady its massive body, the Ghost Fiend Soul Chain lunged at it, accompanied by a piercing, sharp cackle.
The black cloud beneath Yang Haoran’s feet dispersed, but his Yin Qi shield did not shatter. Instead, bolstered by Spirit Power, it rapidly reformed.
Watching the Ghost Fiend Soul Chain launch a fierce assault on the Cat Demon, the smile on his face couldn't help but deepen.
From the current situation, it appeared he had successfully cultivated the Ghost Art, Ghost Fiend Soul Chain. However, compared to Huo Laoban’s earlier display, the number of Ghost Fiend Soul Chains he summoned was fewer, and the chains themselves were not as thick as the Ghost Fiend Soul Chains Huo Laoban had conjured.
At present, even though he had only summoned one Ghost Fiend Soul Chain with this art, it was not his limit. Of course, even if he were to open his Heaven Soul and unleash this Ghost Art to its absolute maximum, he still wouldn't be able to summon eight Ghost Fiend Soul Chains to the extent Huo Laoban did that day.
Under Yang Haoran’s control, the Ghost Fiend Soul Chain clashed fiercely with the Cat Demon. The destructive power of the Ghost Fiend Soul Chain was immense, far incomparable to ordinary chains formed from Spirit Power. However, because only one chain had been summoned, and the Cat Demon’s strength was equally formidable, after a brief exchange, the Ghost Fiend Soul Chain gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Yang Haoran watched this scene, his expression unchanged. His hand seals shifted rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they stilled. Another Ghost Fiend Soul Chain appeared, emitting a strange cackle as it lunged at the Cat Demon with murderous intent.
Since one Ghost Fiend Soul Chain couldn't deal with the Cat Demon, Yang Haoran increased their number by one. Without opening his Heaven Soul, summoning two Ghost Fiend Soul Chains was already his current limit.
With the addition of another Ghost Fiend Soul Chain, the Cat Demon’s pressure immediately intensified. However, relying on its formidable strength, it stubbornly refused to fall into a disadvantage.
However, because of the fierce assault from these two Ghost Fiend Soul Chains, it was unable to directly attack Yang Haoran’s physical body. If it didn't deal with these two troublesome Ghost Fiend Soul Chains, inflicting damage on Yang Haoran’s body would be extremely difficult, unless it chose to trade injuries for injuries. Such a tactic, injuring the enemy a thousand while harming oneself eight hundred, was something it did not want to resort to unless absolutely necessary.
In its view, the immediate priority was to forcefully destroy these two Ghost Fiend Soul Chains. Without them, dealing with Yang Haoran would be much simpler.
At this moment, the Cat Demon’s shock and fury were far more intense than before. It had originally believed that Yang Haoran, as a newcomer, couldn't possibly be very strong, merely a complete pushover. Yet, it had never expected that Yang Haoran’s strength would not only be far greater than it had imagined, but his Ghost Arts would also be equally astonishing.
It could now completely confirm that its gathered information was flawed. Yang Haoran’s strength was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface; outsiders’ understanding of his power was simply too superficial.
This fellow seemed to have been hiding his true strength all along, preventing outsiders from ever grasping his real power.
"You are just a newcomer! How could you possibly possess such formidable strength!"
The Cat Demon, while resisting the fierce assault of the two Ghost Fiend Soul Chains, spoke in a low voice to Yang Haoran, who was controlling them.
At this moment, the Cat Demon’s heart was indeed filled with doubt. There was no denying that Yang Haoran was merely a newcomer to the Underworld Office, as this was no secret. But how could a newcomer possibly possess such formidable power?
Until now, Yang Haoran had not opened his Heaven Soul, nor had he used his Soul Armament. If he possessed such formidable strength without opening his Heaven Soul, what level would his power reach if he did?
Facing the Cat Demon’s doubt and questioning, Yang Haoran offered no response. He had no intention of resolving the Cat Demon’s confusion, nor would he do so. Instead, he continued to control the Ghost Fiend Soul Chains to launch assaults on the Cat Demon.
Receiving no answer from Yang Haoran, the Cat Demon’s feline face twisted with inner fury. With a roar, it instantly pushed its own power to the extreme.
"Although I'm surprised by your strength, if you think this alone is enough to deal with me, you're far too naive!"
As the furious voice rang out, a surge of violent Demon Power erupted from within the Cat Demon, its green aura enveloping its entire mountain-like body.
Boom! Boom! ! !
Two dull thuds resounded as the two Ghost Fiend Soul Chains were knocked back tens of meters by the violent Demon Power. Before they could attack again, the Cat Demon’s massive body moved swiftly, leaving streaks of afterimages, its sharp claw aimed at one of the Ghost Fiend Soul Chains, slamming down fiercely.
This claw struck the Ghost Head of the Ghost Fiend Soul Chain, and with a thunderous boom, the Ghost Head was directly shattered by the sharp claw. As the Ghost Head disintegrated, the thick chain instantly dissolved into Yin Qi and vanished completely.
From the eruption of power to the dissolution of the Ghost Fiend Soul Chain into Yin Qi, it was merely a blink of an eye.
At this moment, the Cat Demon had pushed its power to its absolute limit.
After dispatching one Ghost Fiend Soul Chain, the Cat Demon did not pause for a moment. Its massive body flashed, appearing above the other Ghost Fiend Soul Chain, and its sharp claw descended once more, shattering the Ghost Head of this chain as well.
In just a few breaths, both Ghost Fiend Soul Chains had disintegrated under the Cat Demon’s sharp claws.
Yang Haoran watched this scene, his expression unchanged. There was no panic, nor did he feel any pity for the Ghost Fiend Soul Chains’ dissipation.
While the Ghost Fiend Soul Chains’ power was indeed great, he knew clearly that it was completely unrealistic to deal with this Cat Demon using only two. After all, this Cat Demon was a Great Demon, and its strength seemed to surpass even Bai Xue’s. Such a formidable Great Demon was not so easily dealt with.
He had unleashed the Ghost Fiend Soul Chains not to slay the Cat Demon with their power, but to verify whether he had successfully cultivated this Ghost Art. Now that he had not only confirmed the Ghost Fiend Soul Chains were successfully cultivated but also gained a deeper understanding of their power, his objective had been achieved. As for the two Ghost Fiend Soul Chains being destroyed by the Cat Demon, that was entirely within his expectations.
"I advise you to open your Heaven Soul, or you won’t even know how you died later."
The Cat Demon’s voice rang out, laden with intense killing intent. As its words ended, its body flickered and vanished, reappearing instantly above Yang Haoran, its sharp claw fiercely slamming down towards his body.
Boom! ! !
This time, the Yin Qi shield could no longer withstand the Cat Demon’s attack, shattering into dust from a single claw.
The Cat Demon, having pushed its power to its extreme, delivered astonishing force with every attack. The Yin Qi shield that had previously been able to withstand its attacks couldn’t even block a single one of its blows now.
The instant the Yin Qi shield shattered, Yang Haoran reacted, shifting horizontally backward. He narrowly evaded the Cat Demon’s sharp claw, which had been aimed at his head, and his hands once again rapidly formed seals.
The Cat Demon’s claw had shattered Yang Haoran’s Yin Qi shield, yet it had failed to inflict any damage on his physical body, ultimately falling short. This left it extremely displeased. Watching Yang Haoran’s body shift horizontally backward, it stabilized itself in the air, seething with anger, then opened its bloodthirsty maw towards Yang Haoran.
Green Demon Power coalesced within the Cat Demon’s bloodthirsty maw. The next instant, a green beam of light formed from Demon Power blasted from its mouth, streaking towards Yang Haoran at an extremely rapid speed!
