Chapter 837: Complete with Me
When the Female Hunter left, she had given instructions. The Male Hunter took his wife's instructions to heart, and so, during their exchanges, he had not aimed to kill Yang Haoran. He merely wanted to cripple Yang Haoran first, so that when his wife returned, she could see Yang Haoran alive, humiliate him, and vent the indignation and rage in her heart.
Now, however, after suffering a disadvantage at Yang Haoran's hands, he changed his mind. He no longer wanted Yang Haoran to live. As for how he would explain it to his wife later, consumed by rage, he couldn't care less at the moment.
"I originally intended to let you live a little longer, but since you're so intent on seeking death, I shall grant your wish!"
The Demon Hunter's face was grim, his eyes openly revealing intense killing intent. He had to make Yang Haoran feel his present fury!
However, just as he spoke, the space beside Yang Haoran suddenly rippled violently, and a rift appeared.
This sudden development caused the Demon Hunter's expression to change. His gaze sharply shifted from Yang Haoran to the spatial rift that had appeared beside Yang Haoran.
Yang Haoran's reaction was different from his. He still wore a faint smile, showing no panic or surprise, for all of this was within his expectations.
"Since you wish to grant his wish, be a little more generous and grant mine as well."
Under the Demon Hunter's gaze, a female figure emerged from the spatial rift. She was tall and strikingly beautiful with a cold demeanor. As the Demon Hunter watched her, her gaze also fell upon him.
However, the Demon Hunter's gaze held wariness, while her gaze, when she looked at the Demon Hunter, showed no wariness at all, only a condescending scrutiny.
The newcomer was none other than Xu Meijing.
The Communication Talisman Yang Haoran had previously given to Old Master Wu was precisely the one capable of contacting Xu Meijing.
Although time was tight then and Old Master Wu didn't have time to say much, he still managed to transmit the words "Lecheng, Broken Head Mountain" successfully via the Communication Talisman.
Xu Meijing remembered Old Master Wu's voice; after all, they had had contact, especially during Yang Haoran's severe injury, when her interactions with Old Master Wu were quite frequent. Thus, she remembered his voice.
Even though it was Yang Haoran's Communication Talisman, the message received was from Old Master Wu. Xu Meijing knew that Yang Haoran must have encountered danger and was unable to escape, otherwise he wouldn't have had Old Master Wu transmit the message to her.
Understanding the urgency of the situation, Xu Meijing immediately put down her important matters, found a way to locate Broken Head Mountain, and then instantly tore through space to rush to this place.
As fate would have it, Xu Meijing arrived just in time. If she had delayed even a moment longer, what she would have found would not have been a gravely injured Yang Haoran, but a corpse.
"Who are you?"
The Demon Hunter asked in a low voice. Although Xu Meijing wasn't currently erupting with powerful energy fluctuations, he dared not underestimate her.
The reason was simple: this place was enveloped by a restriction barrier, and without absolute strength, it was utterly impossible to tear space within the barrier and arrive. The fact that Xu Meijing could do this meant she was at least an existence on the same realm as him.
He dared to disregard Yang Haoran because Yang Haoran was a realm weaker than him, so he could completely ignore Yang Haoran. However, when it came to someone of the same realm, he had to be much more wary, for he also feared suffering an unexpected setback and was even more worried that the opponent's strength might surpass his own.
Based on the Spirit Power emanating from Xu Meijing's body, he could confirm her identity as an Underworld Official. Her ability to tear space within the restriction barrier and directly arrive indicated that Xu Meijing must be an Underworld Official who had opened her Heaven and Earth Souls.
Other than these two points, he knew nothing else, and naturally, he didn't know Xu Meijing's specific strength, so his heart was filled with vigilance.
Xu Meijing did not answer the Demon Hunter. She withdrew her gaze from him and then looked at Yang Haoran beside her.
"Looking at your half-dead, miserable state, I won't feign concern by asking if you're alright. I'll just send you out of here first."
Xu Meijing made this decision because she was worried that if she started fighting the Demon Hunter, Yang Haoran would be affected.
She could sense Yang Haoran's current weakness. Once she and the Demon Hunter started fighting, it would surely turn heaven and earth upside down; everything here would suffer devastating damage. Having a patient like Yang Haoran remain here would not only distract her, which was a minor concern, but if he were to be shaken to death by the shockwaves generated during their battle, it would not only be a tragedy but also a joke.
Therefore, Xu Meijing decided to send Yang Haoran away from here first, and then deal with the Demon Hunter before her.
As for how to send Yang Haoran away, it was simple for her now: she could directly tear space here, then send Yang Haoran into the spatial rift, while she would intercept the Demon Hunter.
However, Yang Haoran, with a faint smile, gently shook his head.
Seeing this, Xu Meijing, though not surprised, couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Brother, you've already lost more than half your life. Are you still planning to be reckless here?"
Although Xu Meijing's words were direct, her eyes still revealed concern, rather than the scrutinizing gaze she had given the Demon Hunter.
Yang Haoran naturally felt Xu Meijing's concern for him. He gave a weak smile and responded.
"This is an opportunity; I know what I'm doing."
Hearing this, Xu Meijing couldn't help but roll her eyes at Yang Haoran.
"An opportunity? If courting death is also an opportunity, then the world is full of opportunities; as long as one is willing to die, one can find opportunities. If you can't let me go, just say so directly, no need to beat around the bush with flimsy excuses."
Yang Haoran gave an awkward smile. Just as he was about to say something, a whistling sound suddenly ripped through the air, and a large green hand, formed from Star Spirit Power, clawed towards the two of them, seemingly intending to crush them both to death in one fell swoop.
"Go to hell! Stop flirting and making eyes at each other in front of me!"
As the large green hand clawed towards them, the Demon Hunter's furious voice also reached their ears.
When Xu Meijing appeared, her condescending demeanor had already greatly displeased the Demon Hunter. Then, she even looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, instantly fanning the flames of his anger.
But even that might have been tolerable, as he wasn't clear on Xu Meijing's strength, so he remained cautious and dared not act rashly. Yet, Xu Meijing then proceeded to completely ignore him, chatting away right in front of him as if he were invisible air. How could he, brimming with fury, endure that? He no longer cared what Xu Meijing's true strength was; he simply attacked to vent his rage!
Since the opponent had already made a move, Xu Meijing and Yang Haoran naturally had no more time for useless chatter. Xu Meijing let out a cold snort and opened her Heaven Soul!
"Heaven Soul! Open!"
Xu Meijing's cool, aloof voice resonated throughout this world. She drew her Soul Armament, Killing Blade, from the churning Yin Qi beside her, then slashed down with lightning speed.
Boom! ! !
With a tremendous crash, the blade aura and the large green hand collided. The two stalemated for a moment in the air, then the blade aura shattered, while the large green hand merely dimmed slightly, continuing to claw towards Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing.
Seeing this, Xu Meijing chopped down with another strike!
Boom! ! !
As this strike fell, the blade aura successfully blocked the large green hand. With a thunderous explosion, both simultaneously detonated, leaving only black and green energy remnants in the air.
Seeing this, the Demon Hunter couldn't help but reveal a look of disdain. He had thought Xu Meijing was incredibly powerful, but in their initial exchange, he found that Xu Meijing was not as formidable as he had imagined.
"Looking at your arrogant demeanor, I thought you were someone extraordinary, but the truth proves I overestimated you!"
A disdainful voice came from the Demon Hunter's mouth. As he spoke, he retrieved his Lifebound Demon Armament from his spatial pocket.
This was a uniquely shaped axe, its blade as large as the Demon Hunter's body. Yet, the Demon Hunter held this massive axe with one hand, appearing completely at ease, without the slightest hint of strain.
While the unique design of this demon weapon was striking, what was even more eye-catching were the five Demon Markings on the axe head!
