Bai Xue's demand was quite excessive, but the sloppy man merely thought for a moment before nodding in agreement to Bai Xue's unreasonable request.

Under Bai Xue's puzzled gaze, the sloppy man suddenly waved his hand, and the long sword in his hand was fiercely thrust into the ground in the distance. From his waving motion, one could see that the sloppy man's heart was filled with fury at the moment, but reality forced him to suppress his inner rage.

"Come on!" The sloppy man said in a deep voice. As his voice rang out, the star spiritual power surrounding his body, which served as a defense, dissipated, leaving his physical body completely defenseless before Bai Xue.

"You must be a fool! Don't you worry that I'll take this opportunity to kill you?" Bai Xue couldn't help but jeer, unable to comprehend what this demon hunter was thinking.

"You talk too much. Can't you just get on with it and not waste any more time?" The sloppy man's words revealed a strong sense of impatience.

"Hmph! Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Bai Xue let out a cold snort, then moved her body, and her snake tail fiercely lashed out at the sloppy man's body.

Boom!!!

The ground shook, and dust filled the air as broken stones flew everywhere. The ground was smashed into a large pit by Bai Xue's attack, and the sloppy man was violently pounded into the deep pit.

This attack was not actually Bai Xue's strongest move. Although she had consumed a large amount of demonic spiritual power, she could still unleash other formidable techniques. However, she did not do so.

The reason she didn't use her full power was, of course, because she was deeply interested in the deal proposed by the sloppy man. A single demonic pill held immense temptation for her, so the allure of a considerable number of demonic pills was unimaginable.

Therefore, with her interest piqued, she wanted to know what deal the sloppy man was referring to.

A strong green light emanated from her body. After launching that attack on the sloppy man, Bai Xue showed no intention of further action. Her body rapidly shrank until she turned into a green light that fell beside Yang Haoran.

The green light dispersed, revealing Bai Xue in athletic attire. Since her face was covered by a mask, her expression was indiscernible, but her slightly panting motion indicated that this battle had taken a significant toll on her, suggesting her face under the mask likely didn't look too good.

"Why didn't you finish him off?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"Hehe, let's see what deal he's talking about first," Bai Xue replied with a laugh, though her voice sounded weak.

The intense assault on the sloppy man had indeed consumed a considerable amount of her energy, causing her speech to sound feeble.

From the recent battle, it was difficult to determine whether Bai Xue was a match for the sloppy man or not, as the sloppy man had been solely defending and had not launched any attacks. Therefore, it was unclear whether Bai Xue could withstand the sloppy man's offensive abilities unscathed.

On the other hand, the sloppy man had endured all of Bai Xue's attacks, but based on her previous remarks, it seemed she still had some tricks up her sleeve that she hadn't used yet. Whether those hidden moves could fatally wound the sloppy man remained uncertain.

One thing was certain: the attack Bai Xue had just used on the sloppy man was not her trump card. Although the strike was powerful, it didn't appear to be her ultimate move.

Yang Haoran simply smiled at Bai Xue's response without further comment, shifting his gaze back to the dust-filled area.

A gust of ominous wind dispersed the dust, and the sloppy man struggled to stand up from the deep pit. His coat was dirtier and more tattered than before, with visible bloodstains in some areas, presenting a rather haggard appearance.

Bai Xue's previous attack, while not her strongest, still required the sloppy man to endure it with his bare flesh, without any defensive measures or even the star spiritual power shield surrounding his body, which he had completely withdrawn.

Without any protection, his physical body was undoubtedly stronger than an ordinary person's, but compared to a great demon like Bai Xue, his flesh was far too weak.

Precisely for this reason, Bai Xue's strike had inflicted significant damage. Not only were many of his bones broken, but his vital organs had also suffered severe injuries, compounded by the harm caused by the venom that had previously entered his body, leaving his current physical condition in a dire state.

As sloppy man's body struggled to stand up, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which was slightly blackened due to the lingering toxins within his body.

After spitting out the mouthful of blood, sloppy man's expression became somewhat sluggish, his body swaying as if about to collapse, but he ultimately did not fall.

The star spiritual power within him was raging, and sloppy man immediately spat out another mouthful of blood, this one blacker than the previous one, indicating that he had expelled all the remaining toxins from his body.

With the toxins completely expelled, his complexion was no longer blackened, but rather pale.

Subsequently, he circulated the star spiritual power within his body to rapidly stop the bleeding and heal his injuries. Although his physical body had suffered a significant blow, he had not consumed much of his star spiritual power from start to finish. Now, as he unleashed it at full force, he not only rapidly healed his physical injuries but also emanated a powerful aura.

"Do you have any other requests?" sloppy man asked calmly, his gaze fixed on Yang Haoran.

Sloppy man's voice was deep and low, as if he were suppressing a ferocious beast within himself, which could break loose at any moment, causing him to go berserk.

From the current situation, if Yang Haoran were to continue provoking sloppy man, there was a high chance that sloppy man would lose control of his inner rage, ruining the supposed deal. Although Yang Haoran was not afraid of sloppy man's potential outburst, if it happened, the deal would be off.

It must be said that Yang Haoran was quite interested in the so-called deal with sloppy man, especially since the demonic pill was an invaluable treasure. Even if he couldn't use the demonic pill himself, others might find it useful. Therefore, he was indeed tempted by such a valuable item.

It wasn't just the demonic pill; these days, Yang Haoran was attracted to any treasure, even those he couldn't use himself, because these treasures would bring him immense wealth, which would serve as the capital for his future business ventures in the underworld.

As an old fox like Yang Haoran, he naturally knew the meaning of "seizing a good opportunity." Thus, he did not provoke sloppy man further but smiled and nodded at him instead.

"Heh heh, do you really think I'm someone with a lot of fuss? I've always been straightforward and decisive, without too many unnecessary complications."

Yang Haoran's words sounded rather shameless, making even Master Wu, who was standing nearby, feel somewhat awkward.

"You seem to have a deep misunderstanding of the words 'straightforward and decisive,'" sloppy man said calmly. Then, with a wave of his right hand, he summoned the long sword he had embedded in the ground earlier. The sword resonated and returned to his hand, obeying its master's call.

In this situation, sloppy man's act of recalling his demonic weapon made his intentions clear. If Yang Haoran continued to provoke him, he might not be able to suppress his inner rage any longer.

Yang Haoran observed sloppy man's reaction, but his smile remained unchanged, showing no signs of embarrassment.

"You don't know me well, so you question my decisiveness. Heh heh, no matter. Since you're so sincere about discussing this with me, I'll entertain you. However, I can't guarantee that your so-called deal will be successful in the end."

As his words trailed off, Yang Haoran shifted his gaze from sloppy man to Master Wu beside him.

"Old Wu, let our people disperse. They can go about their business. You stay here. Remember to record this operation and include it in their year-end bonuses."
