Chapter 846: A Ridiculous Threat
After a slight hesitation, the man gritted his teeth and made a decision. With a sweep of his hand, a surge of Star Spirit Power enveloped the items in front of him, and also covered the items the woman had taken out, then sent them all towards Yang Haoran's location.
The reason he did this was not because Yang Haoran's words made him believe in Yang Haoran, but because he had no choice. If he didn't care about his son's soul, then no matter how many tricks Yang Haoran played, it would be useless. But he did care, and cared a great deal. Coupled with the fact that his brain was like mush at this moment, he, who was not particularly shrewd to begin with, naturally had even less mental capacity, which was why he was led by the nose by Yang Haoran.
As for the woman, her brain was even less functional than the man's at this moment. The man at least still tried to think, while her brain had completely crashed. Unable to hold anything but rage, how could she come up with any good counter-measures?
Enveloped by Star Spirit Power, the Demon Pills, Demon Spirit Liquid, and Demon Weapons were all sent before Yang Haoran.
Yang Haoran smiled as he swept his gaze over these items. There were fifteen Demon Pills, and seven porcelain bottles, each about a finger long. These porcelain bottles likely contained Demon Spirit Liquid.
As for the Demon Weapons, there were ten in total; six of them were three-mark Demon Weapons, and four were four-mark Demon Weapons.
This was no small fortune. Although these were certainly not the two Demon Hunters' entire life savings, Yang Haoran was already quite satisfied.
As for his earlier claim that these items did not meet his ideal requirements, that was merely a lie used to provoke the couple, not his true feelings.
However, he was not prepared to do so, because he had been calculating the time in his mind. The time was almost up; it was time to close the net. If he dragged it out further, he worried other unforeseen circumstances might arise.
It's often said that villains die from talking too much. In Yang Haoran's view, there was no such thing as "good guys" or "bad guys," but one thing could not be denied: in a life-or-death struggle, too much talk was not a good thing.
Because the more one talked, the longer the time would drag on, and the greater the risk would become. After all, no one knew what variables might appear.
In today's struggle, the reason Yang Haoran spoke so much to the couple was entirely because he needed to buy some time. He wanted to give Ye Zhiqiu and Xu Meijing time to recover.
At the same time, he also needed time to recover himself. To maximize the value of this time, allow himself to gain more benefits, and achieve the goal of stalling, he played out the current scene.
Although it was somewhat insidious, the effect was quite good. He felt no psychological burden about it, nor did he feel guilty or ashamed. Because they were enemies, enemies where it was either you die or I die. There was no need to care about such things. After all, this was his ironclad rule; his conduct had always been so.
Moreover, the opponent's methods were no better. Killing Old Master Wu's entire family and devising a plan to lure him here — was that considered honorable?
“Heh heh, since the two seniors are willing to trust this junior, this junior won't inspect the goods. Take this soul. The Soul-Gathering Bead is also a gift to the two seniors. ”
Yang Haoran spoke with a smile. With a wave of his hand, he put away the valuable items floating before him. At the same time, he sent out the Soul-Gathering Bead.
Enveloped by Yin Qi, the Soul-Gathering Bead shot towards the man with extreme speed. The couple was extremely agitated by this; both moved simultaneously, proactively lunging towards the Soul-Gathering Bead.
The Soul-Gathering Bead was grabbed by the man. The Yin Qi wrapped around the Soul-Gathering Bead was dispersed by him. Gazing at the Soul Threads swimming within the Soul-Gathering Bead, expressions of ecstatic joy appeared on both their faces.
Although their son's death was a tragedy, it was fortunate that his soul was preserved. In that case, everything was still salvageable. To ensure the safety of his son's soul, the man immediately put the Soul-Gathering Bead into his independent space, for fear that any unforeseen change might occur if he delayed.
After successfully putting away the Soul-Gathering Bead, the couple simultaneously turned their gaze towards Yang Haoran. The joy on their faces immediately vanished, replaced by surging murderous intent.
“My wife and I, in all our lives, have never been threatened by having our lifeblood seized. You, Yang Haoran, are the first in history. ”
The man squinted his eyes, looking at Yang Haoran, and spoke in a deep voice. His cold tone was like ten-thousand-year-old profound ice.
“Heh heh, then the two seniors certainly had a smooth life. Unlike me, my life has been full of hardships. ”
Yang Haoran responded with a smile. He understood the man's meaning, but he feigned ignorance despite knowing full well, instead sighing with a lament.
Seeing Yang Haoran play dumb, the couple's expressions turned exceedingly grim. The woman, holding her wooden sword, wanted to strike, but she was stopped by the man.
“Yang Haoran, it's best you hand over what doesn't belong to you. Some things you might have the life to obtain, but not the life to enjoy. I promise you, as long as you return what belongs to my wife and me, untouched, this matter will be forgotten, and we, the couple, can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite. We, the couple, will just have a gamble and see if we can blast open your independent space! ”
Hearing this, Yang Haoran chuckled. His gaze towards the man carried a hint of amusement.
“Heh heh, senior, first of all, I, Yang Haoran, am not a fool, so I won't believe such clumsy lies. Secondly, I'd like to ask the two seniors: are you genuinely foolish, or has concern clouded your judgment, causing both your brains to crash? ”
As Yang Haoran's words left his mouth, the woman felt nothing but rage, but the man smelled a dangerous scent.
“What do you mean by that? ”
The man asked in a deep voice. Yang Haoran did not keep him in suspense, responding with a smile.
“Heh heh, if you want to know what's going on, you should probably look at your hands. ”
Prompted by Yang Haoran's reminder, the man froze for a moment. Then, realizing something, his expression drastically changed!
This place was already permeated with potent Poison. Afterwards, Yang Haoran unleashed several more porcelain bottles. The porcelain bottles were shattered by him, and the potent Poison within them permeated this entire space, causing the intensity of the Poison here to increase by at least several times. At that time, he paid no mind to it, because a protective barrier had already been erected around the surfaces of their bodies. With this barrier in place, let alone the Poison permeating the area, even if he were soaking in venom, he would not fear it in the slightest. Thus, he didn't take this matter seriously at all.
When Yang Haoran mentioned that his son had already been killed, he was completely stunned. It was also at that moment that Yang Haoran's Remnant Moon shattered the protective barrier on his body and almost severed his head. It wasn't just him; his wife was also in the same situation. Her protective barrier had been shattered by Ye Zhiqiu and Xu Meijing at that time.
However, both of them had overlooked this point at the time. Especially when Yang Haoran told them that their son's soul was still intact, their minds were entirely focused on how to reclaim their son's soul, and how to kill Yang Haoran and torment his soul. They had completely forgotten about this matter.
The reason the man's expression had turned exceedingly grim at this moment was precisely because he had suddenly remembered this matter!
He knew that the couple must have been afflicted!
Sure enough, when he looked at his own hands, he saw that his hands were once again covered in black threads, like nematodes.
“Quick, put up a protective barrier around your body! ! ! ”
The man quickly reminded his wife. As he spoke, he had already erected a protective barrier around his own body. When he looked at his wife, he was immediately startled by her appearance at that moment.
He saw that his wife's face was completely covered in wriggling black threads, looking extremely terrifying. Not only that, but other parts of her body also had these dense, numerous black threads appearing.
The woman, who was already heavily injured, was now exuding a strong aura of death. Before she could even erect a protective barrier to isolate the potent Poison, an expression of pain appeared on her face, and a mouthful of black blood spurted from her mouth.
Seeing this, the man quickly acted to apply a protective barrier for his wife, isolating the potent Poison.
Why use a barrier for isolation instead of holding one's breath? It was because this potent Poison could also penetrate through the skin. Only by erecting a barrier could the potent Poison be completely isolated.
However, by this point, the couple had already inhaled a large amount of potent Poison into their bodies. Even if they erected a protective barrier to prevent further Poison from entering their bodies, the Poison that had already entered their bodies was enough to put them through a scalding ordeal.
