Chapter 369: Ghost Gate (2) |
As Yang Haoran gave a low shout, the space above the two of them suddenly fluctuated violently, and then a crack appeared in the space, which slowly expanded and finally turned into a large, pitch-black door.
The black door hung in the air, wrapped in Yin Qi, and emitted an ancient, desolate, and cold aura. In addition, the two of them felt a strong sense of oppression from the black door.
What was behind the black door couldn't be seen with the naked eye, only a strange black liquid could be seen flowing, with some light shining.
On both sides of the black door, there were two stone statues. These two stone statues were tall and burly, with blue faces and fangs, and they looked ferocious, unlike humans.
The stone statues were lifelike, holding weapons, with fierce eyes, giving people a very intense and cruel feeling.
They seemed to be guarding the door, not allowing anyone to approach. They were also like decorations, merely enhancing the appearance of the door.
But regardless of the possibilities, one thing is certain: their presence makes this already gloomy and eerie black door appear even more sinister and mysterious!
Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing are both Underworld Envoys, so they wouldn't naively think that these two huge stone statues are just decorations, because these statues also gave them a very strong sense of oppression.
If it was really a tough fight, the two estimated that these two stone statues would come alive in all likelihood, and then prove that they were not just dead things.
Ghost Gate, usually the only way to the underworld, as the Underworld Envoy, whether it is Yang Haoran or Xu Meijing, they all have the ability to summon the ghost gate, through the summoned ghost gate, they can directly lead to the underworld.
Yang Haoran has never summoned a ghost gate, today is the first time, because he usually has nothing to go to the underworld, so there is no need to summon a ghost gate.
Although I have never summoned a ghost gate before, as an Underworld Envoy, I still know how to summon a ghost gate, otherwise what should I do if I really need to rush to the underworld?
After successfully summoning the ghost gate, in addition to being shocked, Yang Haoran was still a little curious, after all, this was the first time, who would not be a little curious about the first time?
"What are you doing in a daze, let's go."
Xu Meijing's cold voice sounded, and Yang Haoran came back to his senses. He saw Xu Meijing put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the ghost gate in the sky gracefully.
Yang Haoran smiled and inserted his hands into his pockets, keeping pace with Xu Meijing. However, after taking a step forward, Yang Haoran felt a slight surprise in his heart.
Because with each step he took, the oppressive force from the Ghost Gate seemed to intensify.
Surprised as he was, Yang Haoran did not stop his steps. While the pressure released by the Ghost Gate was strong, it wasn't powerful enough to hinder his movement.
Taking a few more steps, Yang Haoran's surprise turned into astonishment. With each step, the pressure from the Ghost Gate grew exponentially.
After another step, Yang Haoran's face lost its smile, and his brow furrowed slightly.
He looked at Xu Meijing beside him, only to see her with a similar furrowed brow, clearly uncomfortable with the pressure from the Ghost Gate.
Seeing this, Yang Haoran activated his Yin spirit power and formed a shield, encompassing both himself and Xu Meijing within it.
The black shield was visible to the naked eye, forming a spherical shape that enveloped the two. With the shield formed by Yin spirit power, the oppressive force dissipated instantly.
Although the overwhelming pressure had disappeared, Yang Haoran's shield, formed by Yin spirit power, became distorted under the immense pressure released by the Ghost Gate.
Using his own strength, Yang Haoran managed to withstand the immense pressure from the Ghost Gate, even though the shield became distorted, it did not shatter.
Observing this, Yang Haoran infused more Yin spirit power into the shield. The shield emitted a buzzing sound and immediately stabilized, no longer distorting.
Given Yang Haoran's personality, he usually refrained from using his Yin spirit power unless absolutely necessary, as he considered it a waste.
If he were to use his Yin spirit power at the slightest trouble, he might find himself in a great predicament, depleting his Yin spirit power excessively and rendering him passive.
In his view, understanding how to efficiently utilize his Yin spirit power would allow him to maximize his combat effectiveness. Failing to do so, even if his Yin spirit power was stronger than his opponent's, he could still be defeated.
Even before possessing Yin spirit power, Yang Haoran had a habit of not wasting money, as he wanted to have a backup plan and save his money for when it was truly needed.
Now, although he had lost interest in money, this habit translated into conserving his Yin spirit power as much as possible. This would prevent him from being too passive in the face of unforeseen events.
In the current situation, if he were alone, Yang Haoran would definitely not use his Yin spirit power to resist the pressure released by the Ghost Gate. He would choose to endure it physically, and only if he couldn't bear it any longer would he use his Yin spirit power.
However, with Xu Meijing here, he couldn't do that because he didn't want to see Xu Meijing bearing the pressure alone. He would rather use his own unwillingly used Yin spirit power to help Xu Meijing withstand the pressure.
Seeing Yang Haoran use a shield to block the pressure from the Ghost Gate, a faint smile appeared on Xu Meijing's proud face.
"Your strength has improved a lot." Sensing the aura emanating from Yang Haoran, Xu Meijing smiled and spoke.
"Yes, I have made some progress because I consumed a soul pill." Yang Haoran replied with a smile.
"No wonder, your strength has increased significantly since the last time I saw you. You've surpassed me by a large margin. However, after coming back from the underworld this time, I have confidence in surpassing you again. Do you believe it?" Xu Meijing's words were filled with confidence, and apart from confidence, Yang Haoran also sensed a hint of anticipation.
Yang Haoran smiled and said, "Of course, I believe in you."
Xu Meijing was proud and strong-willed, and Yang Haoran knew this very well. However, he didn't mind at all. In his view, as long as the other person is happy, it's all that matters. And if he can contribute to Xu Meijing's happiness, then it's even better.
Seeing Yang Haoran's simple response without surprise or curiosity about the reason, Xu Meijing looked speechless.
"You are really boring. Aren't you going to ask me why I am so confident?" Xu Meijing asked.
"It should be because you have a large number of souls in your possession, more than I can imagine." Yang Haoran replied with a smile.
As Yang Haoran said this, the two of them arrived at the Ghost Gate, and their footsteps came to a halt.
"You guessed it right. Just wait to be amazed!" Xu Meijing said with a smug smile.
Yang Haoran smiled and then turned his gaze once again to the stone statues on both sides of the Ghost Gate. After just a glance, he withdrew his gaze.
"I'll go in first and clear the way for you." Yang Haoran said.
"There's no need to clear any path. We are Underworld Envoys, and it's safe to pass through the Ghost Gate. Let's go, Smiling Tiger." Xu Meijing said and took out a hand from her pocket, grabbing Yang Haoran's arm. The two of them stepped into the Ghost Gate together.
