Realm of the Night God

<

As Tong's blood array erupted beneath him, the lights in the entire floor began to flicker, alternating between brightness and darkness, accompanied by a sizzling sound of electricity.

Yang Haoran's expression shifted slightly as he sensed the approach of the Skin Ghost.

"He's here!"

The warning had just fallen when all the lights on the floor seemed to suddenly shut off as if a power outage had occurred.

"Stay focused! This is an illusion! Don't be deceived by him!"

Yang Haoran loudly reminded them. The Skin Ghost was even more cautious than he had imagined. Summoned forcibly by Tong's blood array, it hadn't even appeared yet but immediately unleashed its strongest techniques. It was evident that he was aware of his current situation and intended to dispose of them as quickly as possible.

"Ghost Eye, open!"

A low command issued from Yang Haoran's lips as his eyes instantly turned pitch black, and with the opening of the Ghost Eye, the world before him changed, no longer shrouded in darkness.

The floor remained the same, the lights still shining, yet in front of them, an additional figure appeared out of nowhere.

To be precise, it was an additional ghost, its entire body charred black, its appearance grotesque and terrifying.

One of its eyes was normal, while the other displayed a milky white color, the hallmark of a Undead stepping into the Half-Step Evil Spirit realm.

This ghost was none other than the one who recently caused trouble with the hospital over borrowing the Skin Ghost. In terms of strength, the Skin Ghost before them was still inferior to the Red Robe Evil Spirit they encountered at the Wu Family Mansion. This could be discerned from the Yin Qi emanating from it.

As for Yang Haoran, his strength had improved considerably since his battle with the Red Robe Evil Spirit. It was precisely because of this that he was able to instantly break free from the Skin Ghost's illusion upon opening his Ghost Eye.

Seeing Yang Haoran recover from his illusion so quickly, the Skin Ghost appeared somewhat surprised, even hesitating for a moment.

Yang Haoran didn't waste this opportunity. He aimed to catch the Skin Ghost off guard, so with a fierce wave of his hands, Yin Spirit power surged from his body, transforming into two thick chains. Amidst a clattering of chains, he tightly bound the Skin Ghost!

The Skin Ghost snapped out of its momentary daze. Its face twisted with a mixture of astonishment and anger as it glared fiercely at Yang Haoran, emitting an angry roar.

The Yin Qi entwined around its soul body surged and boiled at this moment, its formidable power directly shattering the chains formed by Yang Haoran's Yin Spirit power!

The shattered chains dissipated into Yin Qi, and Yang Haoran, who controlled the chains, was also affected to some extent, involuntarily taking several steps back.

Although the Skin Ghost's strength was not on par with the Red Robe Evil Spirit from the Wu Family Mansion, it was still quite formidable. With his current strength, Yang Haoran found it difficult to handle him alone.

... ...

Steadying himself, Yang Haoran glanced to the side, feeling worried about Wang Yiming and Tong, afraid that the two might do something dangerous while trapped in the Skin Ghost's illusion.

However, the situation he witnessed was somewhat different from what he had imagined. Although both Wang Yiming and Tong were trapped in their respective illusions, Tong quickly broke free from his, returning to consciousness.

The blood array beneath Tong shone brightly, enveloping his entire body. With this layer of protection, he regained consciousness from the illusion shortly after Yang Haoran.

Although Tong's speed in breaking free from the Skin Ghost's illusion was slightly slower than Yang Haoran's, it was still quite remarkable. After all, the power fluctuations emanating from him were much weaker compared to Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran's ability to instantly dispel the illusion was due to the presence of the Ghost Eye. Tong, on the other hand, was able to achieve this because of the blood array beneath him. It was precisely because of this blood array that he was able to break free from the illusion shortly after Yang Haoran.

Although Tong had broken free from the Skin Ghost's illusion, Wang Yiming's expression beside him seemed somewhat abnormal. His gaze shifted towards Yang Haoran and Tong, his face filled with killing intent.

"So, you Skin Ghost, I didn't expect you to have accomplices!"

An icy voice emanated from Wang Yiming's mouth, indicating that he was currently within the illusion set up by the Skin Ghost. Everything he saw before him was completely different from reality.

Moreover, he seemed to have mistaken Yang Haoran and Tong for accomplices of the Skin Ghost.

With the sound of his cold voice, Wang Yiming waved his hand and summoned several Ghost Slaying Talismans from his talisman bag. His target was not the real Skin Ghost, but Yang Haoran and Tong!

Yang Haoran's expression changed as he intended to intervene and restrain Wang Yiming to prevent him from harming them with his talismans. However, Tong seemed to be prepared and acted even faster than him.

A streak of blood shot out, directly hitting Wang Yiming's forehead.

Due to the Ghost Eye's activation, Yang Haoran could clearly see a rune existing on Wang Yiming's forehead. It was the Power Seed of a Talisman Master, akin to the Death Mark Seal on Night Watch's forehead.

This sudden appearance of blood streak happened to hit the rune on Wang Yiming's forehead.

Without erupting the anticipated destructive power, the blood streak disintegrated upon hitting the Power Seed.

Wang Yiming's body trembled slightly. His gaze, filled with killing intent, first showed a moment of confusion, then immediately regained clarity.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, from Yang Haoran's move against the Skin Ghost to Wang Yiming emerging from the illusion. The whole sequence lasted only a few breaths.

The Skin Ghost looked grim. It had intended to make Yang Haoran and the others turn against each other through the illusion. Yet, to its surprise, Yang Haoran dispelled the illusion as soon as it was set up.

... ...

He didn't give up. While one person had regained consciousness, two others were still trapped in the illusion he had set up. As long as he kept them within it, it wouldn't be difficult to manipulate them into harming each other.

But what he hadn't expected was that right after Yang Haoran dispelled his illusion, Tong also broke free using the power of the blood array beneath him. His hope now rested on Wang Yiming. He hoped that Wang Yiming could cause trouble for Yang Haoran and Tong. Then he could seize the opportunity to trap them all in the illusion, control them, and make them jump out of the window, solving all the problems at once.

Just as they were about to engage in combat, another unexpected event occurred. Tong, empowered by the blood array beneath him, forcefully rescued Wang Yiming from the illusion, foiling the Skin Ghost's plan.

Yiming, now fully awake, didn't need any explanation to understand what had happened to him. He looked at the several Ghost Slaying Talismans floating in front of him and his expression turned sour. With a low shout, he commanded them to go forth.

The Ghost Slaying Talismans flew like flying knives towards the Skin Ghost. With incredible speed, they sliced through the air with a sound of breaking space.

The Skin Ghost's expression became even more unsightly compared to Wang Yiming's. A non-human roar emanated from its mouth as its soul body instantly turned into a black mass of Yin Qi, attempting to flee.

Seeing this, Tong quickly formed seals with his hands again. As his ten fingers moved rapidly, the blood array beneath him erupted into thousands of blood lines, spreading across the entire floor at a visible speed.

At a glance, the floor seemed to be bound by thousands of blood lines in a unique manner!

The Yin Qi formed by the Skin Ghost's soul body collided with the wall. Instead of passing through as usual, it was repelled back by a force.

At that moment of repulsion, a chain appeared out of nowhere, binding the Yin Qi formed by its soul body!

Several Ghost Slaying Talismans arrived as expected, all hitting the bound Yin Qi. With each hit, the Yin Qi weakened significantly.

In this skirmish, it was evident that Yang Haoran and his allies held the advantage. However, Yang Haoran's face showed no hint of joy. Instead, he looked extremely serious.

The reason for his seriousness was that he sensed a significant weakening in the power fluctuations emanating from the blood array beneath Tong.

Glancing at Tong again, he saw Tong's pale face with blood seeping from the corners of his mouth. It was apparent that controlling the blood array beneath him had become quite strenuous.

If they didn't seize the opportunity while Tong could still barely maintain the blood array to deal with the Skin Ghost, once the blood array dissipated, they might not be able to defeat the Skin Ghost, and even if they did, they might not be able to restrain it!
