Deng Feng's words left Zhong Siyu with an even more unpleasant expression. In response, she burst into laughter, her face contorted with madness, and her blood-red eyes filled with a bloodthirsty sensation.

"You old man, are you waiting here to reap the benefits without taking any risks? Hehe, if that's your mindset, our cooperation ends here. Once I'm dealt with, you won't survive either. Deng Feng has set up a formation here. If he deals with me, it'll be your turn next. Do you think you can escape?"

Zhong Siyu's deranged voice echoed in the area. This time, her words didn't fall on deaf ears. Immediately after, an ancient voice resonated in the space.

"I've invested a lot in our cooperation. How could I go back on my word? I'm the one who stands to lose."

With the elderly voice, a distorted space in a corner of the courtyard twisted, revealing a hunched figure beneath the crumbling wall.

Leaning on a crutch, appearing elderly, like a candle in the wind, it was none other than the spirit master Duda!

Duda, this old fellow, had managed to conceal himself using some unknown method. As for when he arrived and how long he had been lurking here, only he knew.

Duda's appearance intensified Zhong Siyu's sinister grin. On the contrary, Deng Feng's expression darkened.

"I'm curious. Although I've set up a formation here, how did you silently infiltrate? Or have you been lurking here for days?" Deng Feng asked with a stern tone, observing Duda in the corner.

"While the formation is decent, it seems you don't understand it well, only grasping basic operational methods," Duda retorted, a mocking tone in his voice.

Deng Feng snorted, seemingly conceding to Duda's observation without a rebuttal.

"You can't fully unleash the power of the formation. Sneaking into it might be troublesome, but not impossible. If a master of formations were here, it would be difficult for me, Old Man, to infiltrate without detection. This formation, you borrowed it, didn't you?" Duda looked at Deng Feng, continuing with a cold sneer.

Already in a bad mood, Deng Feng's face darkened even more at Duda's words.

"Humph, I did borrow it, but infiltrating it might not be as easy as you think. I didn't notice when you arrived, but you've been hiding in the shadows without attempting any ambush. What are you afraid of? Afraid to expose yourself when you strike? Or do you distrust your ally, fearing she might betray you?" Deng Feng sneered.

"You don't need to sow discord between us. Since I've revealed myself, it means I trust my ally completely. I won't doubt her because of your provocations," Duda replied calmly, unaffected by Deng Feng's attempts to instigate.

As the conversation ended, Duda coughed violently, and a dense Yin Qi emerged from his body, gradually taking shape behind him as a terrifying slit-mouthed woman.

This slit-mouthed woman was Duda's guardian yin spirit, a formidable evil spirit. Its strength was quite impressive, as Yang Haoran had experienced firsthand. In a previous encounter, Yang Haoran couldn't dispel the illusions set by the slit-mouthed woman, even with his activated ghost eye, showcasing its considerable power.

However, in the current situation, with both Deng Feng and Zhong Siyu wounded, the gap in their strengths was narrowed. Moreover, with Duda as the spirit master present, the three appeared evenly matched on the surface.

In this scenario, the outcome of a three-way battle was uncertain. If two of them teamed up against the remaining one, the lone individual would likely face a tragic end.

Seeing Duda summon his guardian yin spirit, Zhong Siyu grinned and said, "Send your guardian yin spirit to deal with the other Night Watch. Deng Feng brought them here tonight with ulterior motives. After eliminating these Night Watch, even if Deng Feng has other tricks up his sleeve, they won't matter."

Although Duda had already noticed Deng Feng's hidden agenda, he didn't appreciate Zhong Siyu's commanding tone, as if she were giving orders.

"I don't need a little brat to instruct me in my actions."

Despite his words, Duda instructed his guardian yin spirit.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive."

With a grin, the guardian yin spirit behind him manifested as Yin Qi and disappeared.

The Night Watch present all had a drastic change in their expressions because they knew what awaited them next.

Since Duda appeared until now, he hadn't spared a glance at Yang Haoran.

The reason was simple: Deng Feng had come to the ghost building, engaged in a successful fight with Zhong Siyu, and the results exceeded Duda's expectations. In his eyes, Yang Haoran had completely lost his value. For someone deemed worthless, Duda saw no reason to waste time and energy.

From the moment Duda gave the order to his slit-mouthed woman to kill them all without mercy, it was evident that he had already ignored Yang Haoran.

Cold light flickered in Yang Haoran's eyes. Duda had indeed treated him exactly as he had anticipated. The promise of removing the soul-scattering needle once he helped achieve Duda's goal was nothing more than a trick to deceive a child.

Nevertheless, Yang Haoran never believed in Duda from the beginning. Therefore, Yang Haoran wasn't disappointed by Duda's current attitude and actions; everything was within his expectations. However, the killing intent towards Duda in his heart became extremely intense.

He had come here tonight to pull someone down with him before dying, and the spirit master Duda, who was responsible for his current predicament, was his primary target!

He silently swore that even in death, he would drag this persistent old man out of this world with him!

As the slit-mouthed woman dissipated into Yin Qi, the world seen by Yang Haoran and the other Night Watch began to change, turning blood-red and emanating a strong smell of blood.

Due to Deng Feng's request, the ghost eyes of Yang Haoran and the others had been continuously activated. They were well aware of their situation, trapped in an illusion, but breaking free from it was incredibly challenging.

The surviving Night Watch, including Yang Haoran, were more powerful than those who had perished. While Yang Haoran was a newcomer, he had accumulated a fair amount of pure Yin Qi over the past few months, making him one of the stronger Night Watch in Lecheng.

If they were all uninjured and worked together, dealing with the slit-mouthed woman wouldn't be impossible. However, in their current state, with some severely wounded, it became exceptionally difficult.

Seeing Yang Haoran and the others falling into the illusion again, Deng Feng initially thought of helping them break free. However, at that moment, both Duda and Zhong Siyu attacked him simultaneously!

Duda expected Deng Feng to be thrown off balance, but Deng Feng's expression didn't change much.

Just as Duda was puzzled, Deng Feng's figure flashed, evading the attacks and creating distance between them. Then, under their watchful eyes, Deng Feng forcefully stabbed the bone blade into the ground in front of him!

The sturdy ground seemed fragile before the bone blade, easily pierced. A black light erupted from the blade, forming a shield that enveloped Deng Feng. Meanwhile, Deng Feng's hand flashed, revealing a black flag.

This flag, compared to the formation flags Master Jiang and the others held earlier, was slightly smaller but looked somewhat related. Observing Deng Feng taking out this flag at this moment, Duda's expression changed.

The area had been shrouded by formations since the beginning, with Deng Feng orchestrating Night Watch through a set of flags successfully. The flag Deng Feng presented now was evidently the main flag in this set.

Duda immediately understood Deng Feng's intention in revealing the main flag at this moment. He wanted to use formations to deal with them.

In Duda's view, Deng Feng's confidence and fearlessness probably stemmed from the formation he set up. However, the formation wasn't as formidable as he imagined. Why did Deng Feng place his hopes in this formation?

"Could it be... is there another aspect of this formation that he doesn't know?" This thought suddenly crossed Duda's mind. Although he was pondering, his actions did not pause. He directed the black spiritual energy toward Deng Feng's position.

Boom!

The spiritual energy struck the shield formed by the bone blade, causing it to shatter and dissipate into Yin Qi. Normally, the shield released by the bone blade wouldn't be so fragile, but due to Deng Feng's severe injuries, his strength had diminished, making it vulnerable to Duda's attack.

As the shield broke, Deng Feng remained composed, raising the flag in his hand. He then formed hand seals, chanting an incantation. The flag floated in mid-air, emitting a powerful fluctuation of energy!
