Realm of the Night God

The sudden appearance of the protective barrier startled the black-robed figure. He never expected that Second Son Wu would secretly take action at the last moment!

What surprised him even more was that this suddenly appearing protective barrier had decent defensive power. Although the kick he just delivered was only casual and not using full force, its power was still not weak, enough to kick out any Night Watch below heaven soul level.

Yet this suddenly appearing protective barrier blocked his kick. Aside from violent trembling, the protective barrier did not even show any cracks, demonstrating its impressive defensive strength.

At least for him, this protective barrier's defensive power was indeed not weak.

Although the black-robed figure failed to kick through the protective barrier, he still managed to kick Second Son Wu, along with the protective barrier, flying away. They crashed into the barrier of this place before coming to a stop.

The strong impact caused the barrier to tremble slightly, but Second Son Wu's protective barrier did not shatter due to the protection. He did not even sustain any injuries.

"I'm very puzzled, why did you do this?" the black-robed figure asked Second Son Wu in a deep voice.

Second Son Wu grinned and gave an answer the black-robed figure never imagined.

"Hehe, although I, Second Son Wu, used to be a spendthrift, a coward afraid of death, that was the past, not the present."

From these two points, it was not difficult to see that the current Second Son Wu, while appearing resolute, was actually filled with fear inside. Otherwise, he would not have reacted this way.

However, what he said this time was not a lie, in contrast to what he had told the black-robed figure earlier.

The main reason he had lingered with the black-robed figure for a while was to see if he could escape from the latter's hands. If he could get away from the black-robed figure, then whether he followed the black-robed figure's instructions or not would be up to him.

Later, when he returned to the villa and saw Yang Haoran, he could explain the situation to Yang Haoran. This way, he would not harm Yang Haoran or himself and his family. He believed that with Yang Haoran's abilities, handling this matter should not be a problem.

However, the black-robed figure was not foolish enough to just let him leave. Instead, he wanted to implant a secret spell on him and make him consume an unknown elixir, in order to achieve complete control over him and prevent him from leaking any information.

Of course, Second Son Wu did not want to be controlled by the black-robed figure. Once he followed the black-robed figure's instructions, consumed the elixir, and allowed the other party to implant a secret spell on him, he would become powerless, and his life and death would be in the other party's hands. Even if he acted against Yang Haoran and achieved the other party's goal, there was no guarantee that the other party would spare him in the end.

It was possible that not only would he not get the soul pill, but the other party might also eliminate him since he would have no more use.

Therefore, he refused the black-robed figure, and he was very clear about the consequences of refusing the black-robed figure. That's why he seized the opportunity when the black-robed figure put away the black bottle and activated the Death God pendant hidden in his pocket.

As long as he activated the Death God pendant, Yang Haoran would immediately sense it. Although he was not sure if Yang Haoran could arrive in time to rescue him, in this situation, he had no other choice. Find the source of this chapter at M|V|L-EMPYR.

Second son Wu's response displeased the Black-robed figure, and the power fluctuation emanating from him increased significantly.

"I misjudged you, I didn't expect that you, this lowly scum, would have such backbone. But if you think that this protective barrier can save your life, you are too naive!"

The Black-robed figure spoke in a deep voice, his tone filled with strong murderous intent. As he spoke, he suddenly waved his hands, and two chain-like objects as thick as a person's arm appeared, making a rattling sound like two living black snakes as they rushed towards Second son Wu!

Second son Wu's face changed drastically. While he dared to resist the Black-robed figure, it didn't mean he was not afraid of him. On the contrary, he was extremely fearful of the Black-robed figure in front of him, and he also greatly feared death.

Seeing the chains rapidly approaching, he didn't even think and immediately tried to dodge. Unfortunately, his speed was far inferior to the chains, and as soon as he tried to dodge, the two chains arrived as expected.

Boom!! Boom!!

Two booming sounds, and dust filled the air as the barrier was shattered.

The barrier was shattered because the area of the chain attack happened to be at the edge of the barrier, and combined with the great power of the Black-robed figure's attack, it was able to break the barrier.

Although the protective barrier released by the Death God pendant had previously successfully blocked one of the Black-robed figure's attacks, it now lacked the ability to block the power of the two chains the Black-robed figure had gathered. The reason was simple - the previous attack was just a casual kick from the Black-robed figure, but these chains were different.

These two chains were formed by the Black-robed figure channeling his powerful strength, and their power was vastly different from that casual kick earlier, not even comparable.

As the barrier shattered, Second son Wu's protective barrier was also destroyed, and the two chains dissipated.

Second son Wu was blasted away, but fortunately the protective barrier had blocked most of the damage; otherwise, with his strength, he would have been reduced to ashes, not even leaving a corpse.

Although the protective barrier had blocked most of the attack, his physical body was still severely injured. As he was blasted away, a large amount of fresh blood gushed out of his mouth.

His body crashed heavily to the ground, and Second son Wu coughed up another mouthful of fresh blood. The Black-robed figure did not stop there and waved his hand to conjure two more chains, seemingly wanting to finish off Second son Wu with a single strike.

However, at this moment, the Black-robed figure seemed to sense something and looked in a certain direction, then immediately tore open a spatial rift and disappeared into it.

The spatial rift quickly closed, and the area he had looked at earlier began to violently tremble, and then another spatial rift appeared. Before the newcomer could be seen, a Yin spiritual power tore through the void, rushing towards the closing spatial rift, trying to interrupt the Black-robed figure's escape.

Unfortunately, the Yin spiritual power failed to hit the closing spatial rift, and instead struck the dilapidated building behind it, causing it to explode.

Boom!!

The dilapidated building was completely destroyed, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Two figures shot out of the spatial rift - they were none other than Yang Haoran and Master Wu.

Earlier, they had been discussing Second son Wu in the villa when Yang Haoran suddenly sensed that someone had activated the Death Mark Seal he had placed. Although he did not know that the one who activated it was Second son Wu, he immediately rushed to the scene. Master Wu, worried that Yang Haoran might encounter danger alone, followed him.

As soon as they emerged, Yang Haoran spotted the Black-robed figure about to escape and without hesitation, even before fully exiting the spatial rift, he attacked the Black-robed figure, trying to stop his departure.

However, he was still a step too slow. The Black-robed figure's reaction speed was very fast, and he was extremely decisive. As soon as he sensed someone trying to enter the scene through a spatial rift, he had no intention of staying to fight, nor did he want to find out who the newcomers were. Instead, he immediately tore open a spatial rift and escaped through it.

If he had hesitated even slightly, he would not have been able to leave today, either dying at the hands of Yang Haoran or being killed by the three of them.

The latter possibility was unlikely, as judging from the power fluctuation he released, he was no match for Yang Haoran. If he really had the ability to kill Yang Haoran, he wouldn't have bothered coming after Second son Wu and could have just found an opportunity to kill Yang Haoran directly.

The spatial rift closed, and even with Yang Haoran's abilities, he could not keep the opponent from escaping. He shifted his gaze from the closed spatial rift and looked towards Second son Wu.
