Chapter 153: Spirit Summoning

<

In this kick, Yang Haoran held nothing back, exerting all his strength. Du Xiao was sent flying, and while still in the air, he sprayed a mouthful of blood, his face contorted in pain!

After kicking his friend who knew nothing about discretion, Yang Haoran didn't continue his assault. Instead, he turned his gaze to the kneeling skin ghost!

The skin ghost's face changed color, without hesitation, it attempted to flee!

Seemingly anticipating this, Yang Haoran acted swiftly. As the skin ghost tried to rise, a thick black chain, as thick as an arm, entangled him.

Back in the hospital by the river, a chain formed by Yang Haoran's Yin spirit power would have been useless; he could have shattered it with ease. But now, he was powerless despite his intentions; his soul was too weak to break the chain!

Simultaneously, the soul gathering bead, which had been floating beside Yang Haoran's body, appeared once more above the skin ghost's soul body. A powerful suction emanated from it, enveloping the skin ghost's entire soul.

The skin ghost struggled violently, but to no avail. He knew pleading with Yang Haoran was futile. His face once again revealed a ferocious expression, snarling and grimacing at Yang Haoran!

Yang Haoran smirked inwardly. He knew the skin ghost's earlier plea for mercy was merely a survival tactic. Now that it realized feigning weakness was futile, it revealed its true nature.

However, Yang Haoran hadn't been moved by the skin ghost's previous display of helplessness, so he wasn't surprised by its sudden change of demeanor.

"Let go of me! Let go! I'll devour you alive!"

The skin ghost roared, but Yang Haoran's smile didn't waver. He increased the intensity of the soul gathering bead's suction!

Amidst a reluctant and desperate scream, the skin ghost was forcibly drawn into the soul gathering bead. At this moment, Du Xiao managed to crawl to his feet, clutching his stomach.

"You... stop!"

Without time to wipe the blood from his lips, Du Xiao attempted to stop Yang Haoran, but it was too late. Not only had Yang Haoran captured the skin ghost within the soul gathering bead, but he had also embedded the bead back onto the ring.

Yang Haoran looked at Du Xiao with a smile, while Du Xiao trembled with rage, pointing at Yang Haoran with quivering fingers, unable to utter a word.

Seeing Du Xiao's reaction, Yang Haoran adjusted his long hair and asked with a smile, "My hair has grown a bit long. It's time for a trim, don't you think?"

"Pfft!"

Du Xiao spat out another mouthful of blood, not because Yang Haoran's sudden kick had inflicted significant harm, but because he was consumed with anger!

"You don't need to tidy up your hair anymore, because I'll cut your entire head off!"

Using Spirit Summoning against enemies was also possible, but not in the way Du Xiao was using it. The undead themselves had no attack power, so besides intimidation, they served no purpose in combat.

The effectiveness of this technique relied on summoning powerful ghosts above the undead. Once these ghosts were summoned, the spirit master could negotiate with them and enlist their help. That was the correct use of Spirit Summoning.

However, Du Xiao was now controlling a group of powerless undead to attack Yang Haoran, which made Yang Haoran wonder if his friend had lost his mind.

"This works out well, saves me the trouble of hunting you all down one by one."

Yang Haoran chuckled and then waved his hand. The soul gathering bead whizzed out and met the oncoming undead head-on.

With the activation of the soul gathering bead, a tremendous suction emerged, pulling all the approaching undead into it.

Du Xiao froze; it seemed he just realized that besides intimidating people, the undead had no other purpose. Sending these undead to attack a Night Watch was no different from seeking death.

"So, you still want to show off like this? It seems you've returned everything your master gave you."

Yang Haoran retrieved the soul gathering bead, smiling as he approached Du Xiao.

Du Xiao looked grim. He cursed bitterly, "This Cemetery is damn poor! Besides a few undead, there's nothing! Not even a Half-Step Evil Spirit! If there were one, you, the temporary worker, would be done for now!"

"Such arrogance. But you better keep being arrogant; the more arrogant you are, the better. That way, I can proceed to deal with you more comfortably."

Yang Haoran remarked, then flicked his right hand lightly. A series of chain collisions echoed, and in his hand, another chain formed from Yin spirit power materialized.

In fact, he had already captured the skin ghost and the other undead in the cemetery under Du Xiao's Spirit Summoning. He could have left at this point. However, he chose not to, mainly because of Du Xiao's behavior.

It wasn't that Yang Haoran had a penchant for bullying the young; it was that Du Xiao was simply too arrogant. Dealing with such an unpowered person, if he didn't make him feel pain once, he might never know how vast the world outside was.

Moreover, spirit masters and the Yin Division had always been at odds. If they hadn't crossed paths, he wouldn't bother seeking out such individuals. But now that they had, he couldn't just walk away.

For both public and private reasons, he had no reason to leave things as they were.

He felt that he should do something.
