Bang!!!

The Bagua Mirror was sent flying by the chain, landing in front of the young man.

At this moment, the Bagua Mirror no longer exuded the powerful waves of energy as before, nor did it emit dazzling light. It became dim and lifeless, resembling an ordinary Bagua Mirror in the hands of a common Taoist.

"Puff!"

The young man couldn't help but spew another mouthful of blood as he looked at the Bagua Mirror before him.

The mystical artifact was damaged, and as the owner of the mystical artifact, he naturally suffered as well. The previous use of the Blood Symbol Talisman on his body had already caused harm, and now with the mystical artifact damaged, the situation became even more dire.

Despite being heavily injured, the young man didn't succumb to frustration. He was not willing to accept defeat so easily.

However, he had run out of options. Using Heaven and Earth as the carrier and the Blood Symbol Talisman as his trump card, it was his current strongest move. Yet, it proved ineffective against Yang Haoran.

He knew he was no match for Yang Haoran. The power gap between them was too significant.

He also realized that Yang Haoran had shown mercy earlier. If Yang Haoran had gone all out, the young man might not have only spat out blood but lost the chance to do so.

"Inferior skills deserve a quick death," the young man wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth and said solemnly to Yang Haoran.

"If I wanted to kill you, you'd already be dead," Yang Haoran chuckled and, with a shake of his hand, the chain transformed into dissipating Yin Qi.

"Heh, don't think I'll thank you for not killing me. You, an evil demonic cultivator like yourself, I..."

Before the young man could finish his words, his voice abruptly stopped. He looked at Yang Haoran's side with a shocked expression.

Yang Haoran maintained his smile, turning to see Fifth Sister wielding a brick, poised to strike towards his head.

The little girl behind him changed her expression, attempting to rush forward and intervene. However, she found her body seemingly immobilized, unable to move.

Even if she could move, it wouldn't have stopped Fifth Sister. As an undead, her soul body couldn't obstruct Fifth Sister in any way; rushing forward would have been futile.

But she didn't think about all this. Her instinctive attempt to stop Fifth Sister was cut short by an unexpected force, anchoring her soul body in place.

Fifth Sister had been searching for an opportunity to strike against Yang Haoran. Her plan was simple: kill Yang Haoran, and the young man would surely take care of the little girl. Then, no one would know about Fifth Sister killing the girl.

Although killing Yang Haoran would also be murder, she could frame it as self-defense, even if excessive. It was still a more favorable situation than outright murder.

Having witnessed Fifth Sister, with a ferocious expression, charging towards him, Yang Haoran's smile vanished, replaced by a face of horror.

His reaction seemed as if he had been genuinely frightened by this sudden turn of events.

"No!"

"No!"

Two voices cried out simultaneously, one from Yang Haoran, the other from the young man.

Both voices were filled with fear. The young man's fear was genuine, while Yang Haoran's fear felt exaggerated and unnatural.

Yang Haoran appeared dumbstruck, forgetting to evade, as if he had been scared silly. Meanwhile, the young man tried to intervene to stop Fifth Sister, but it was too late.

"You're dead to me!!!"

Fifth Sister, with a malicious expression, roared, bringing the brick down on Yang Haoran's head.

Strangely, Yang Haoran's protective Yin Qi seemed ineffective at this moment, unable to stop Fifth Sister from approaching, nor did it block the incoming strike of the brick.

Just as the brick was about to hit Yang Haoran's head, a powerful force suddenly erupted from within him.

Bang!!!

Fifth Sister, along with the brick, was sent flying.

The barrier Yang Haoran had set up earlier had inexplicably disappeared, and Fifth Sister's body wasn't stopped by the barrier. Instead, she crashed into a distant steel frame.

Witnessing this, the young man tried to get up to catch Fifth Sister, but he was astonished to find that his body couldn't move.

His body seemed restrained by an invisible force.

As he attempted to understand what was happening, the force suddenly vanished, and his body became mobile again.

However, it was too late to reach Fifth Sister in time. Nevertheless, he moved at the fastest speed towards her!

Bang!!!

Fifth Sister's body slammed into the steel frame, sliding down to the ground. Then, a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

At that moment, a bundle of steel bars fell from above. Unable to evade, she instinctively opened her mouth, and one of the steel bars pierced through like a skewer, fixing her to the ground, with the steel bar protruding straight through.

Blood oozed from her mouth and nose. Fifth Sister's eyes bulged out, displaying only fear and nothing else.

She knew she was about to die, and apart from the fear of death, there was no room for any other emotion in her heart.

The young man appeared before Fifth Sister, and the scene before him distorted his face. Fifth Sister's fate was too tragic.

Recalling his recent promise to protect Fifth Sister, the young man found it unbearable to witness her dying in such a manner before him.

He turned abruptly, a fierce expression on his face as he glared at Yang Haoran, eyes ablaze with anger.

"Was this intentional? With your abilities, how could you not avoid her attack? Was it you who made my body suddenly immobile?" The young man's emotions ran high as he pointed to the location of the vanished barrier. He continued to shout at Yang Haoran, "The barrier was fine, so how did it suddenly disappear? And those steel bars were perfectly in place—how did they fall just at the right moment to cause this? This is murder! Aren't you afraid of consequences for such despicable acts?"

Yang Haoran, with a faint smile, calmly responded to the enraged young man, "You can't falsely accuse me. She attacked me on her own, attempting to kill me. She was knocked away by my protective Yin Qi. Can you blame me for that? Didn't you see her attacking me? Didn't you sense her intent to kill me just now?"

"Why did your body suddenly become immobile? With such severe injuries, it's normal for a moment of loss of control. How can you blame that on me?"

"As for the barrier you mentioned, it wasn't very strong to begin with. It was just a common barrier. You easily tore a gap in it earlier. Didn't you notice that?"

"The barrier wasn't powerful, and you tearing it open depleted its strength. It could have lasted a bit longer if not for your destruction happening at the exact moment she was knocked away. Can you really blame me for that?"

"I have no way to control her fate. She attacked me willingly, wanting to kill me. You know, this isn't the outcome I wanted to see."

Yang Haoran shook his head with a helpless expression, as if all of this was just an unfortunate coincidence, something he didn't want to witness.

Though young, the boy wasn't foolish. He found Yang Haoran's words too insincere and couldn't bring himself to believe them.

"Nonsense! You're just spouting nonsense! You..."

Before the young man could finish his words, the sound of chains colliding suddenly echoed around him. Alarmed, he realized something was wrong, and his body was tightly bound by several chains.

"What are you doing?!!" The young man roared at Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran didn't answer immediately. He disappeared from his original position, leaving the young man with a changed expression, thinking Yang Haoran was about to attack him.

But Yang Haoran didn't. When he reappeared, he was next to Fifth Sister's lifeless body. He then proceeded to forcefully condense and extract Fifth Sister's soul from her body.

Fifth Sister's soul body remained closed-eyed, currently in a state of deep sleep.

"You heartless bastard! You kill people and extract their souls! How can you stoop so low!"

The young man cursed, but Yang Haoran still didn't respond. The soul-gathering bead on his ring faintly lit up as he stored Fifth Sister's soul within it.

Then, Yang Haoran teleported back to stand in front of the young man. Watching the angry young man, he sighed and gave a faint smile before speaking, "Please watch the show, young man. In this movie, there is no joy—only the ugliness and cruelty of human nature."

As he finished speaking, Yang Haoran ignored the struggles and roars of the young man, pointing his finger at the young man's forehead.

With that finger pointed, a Death Mark Seal appeared on the young man's forehead. Despite the young man's attempts to resist, his body suddenly stopped struggling, as if under a petrification spell.

"Ghost eye! Activate!"

Yang Haoran put away his smile, his voice stern. As he spoke, the Death Mark Seal on the young man's forehead lit up. Simultaneously, a faint Yin Qi appeared in his eyes.

Initially, the Yin Qi in his eyes was minimal, but it grew increasingly dense.

Although the young man couldn't move or speak, his consciousness remained clear. He didn't know what Yang Haoran was going to do to him, and he wanted to resist, but his resistance was so feeble it had no effect. He could only let Yang Haoran manipulate him.

As the Yin Qi in his eyes became more concentrated, the young man's eyes began to darken. After a few breaths, his eyes completely turned ink-black!

This was the eye technique "Ghost Eye," possessed only by those from the Yin Division. The young man was an exorcist, not from the Yin Division. The fact that he temporarily acquired this eye technique was due to Yang Haoran's power.

"Take a good look, young man. Don't just judge by appearances."

Saying this, Yang Haoran used his finger to turn the young man's face, directing his gaze toward the bewildered little girl.
