Chapter 189: Trading Injuries

Zhong Siyu had experienced the power of a soul weapon before, so when Deng Feng swung his blade at her, she... she didn't choose to evade. Instead, she enveloped herself in a dense Yin Qi, bearing the blow head-on!

But this bold move resulted in another harsh blow for Deng Feng!

The bone blade struck Zhong Siyu, breaking through her protective Yin Qi. Her soul was torn apart by the tremendous force, yet in that split moment before her soul was torn, her palm struck Deng Feng's head fiercely once more!

Deng Feng coughed up another mouthful of blood, his face paling. Blood streamed from his head, evidently cracked open by Zhong Siyu's blow.

Had he not been sufficiently powerful with Yin Qi protection, his head would have been smashed like a melon by Zhong Siyu.

Previously, only half his body sank into the ground, but now, apart from his head, his entire body was forcefully slammed into the ground by Zhong Siyu!

Deng Feng's face turned pale, his expression grim. Zhong Siyu's madness didn't surprise him; it was precisely because of her formidable strength and extreme craziness that he feared her malevolent spirit. This was why he had refrained from confronting Zhong Siyu for so many years.

Though he had been prepared mentally, being injured so severely still irked him.

With a roar, Deng Feng pushed his Yin spirit power to the extreme, unleashing a terrifying force that blasted a large crater into the ground!

Bleeding from the corners of his mouth, gasping for breath, Deng Feng braced himself with his bone blade while scanning the area ahead.

Ten meters in front of him, Yin Qi danced wildly in the air, then converged to reform Zhong Siyu into a figure clad in blood-red robes.

However, compared to before, Zhong Siyu's soul body had faded considerably. Previously, if not observed carefully, her soul body could easily be mistaken for her real flesh body, appearing solid.

Now, it was evident at a glance that her body was a soul, not her real flesh.

It was clear that despite dealing a significant blow to Deng Feng by enduring his strike, she had also paid a hefty price.

"You lunatic! Weren't you afraid my last strike would kill you?" Deng Feng's gaze fixed on Zhong Siyu, speaking coldly while covertly using Yin spirit power to heal his wounds.

With his skull cracked open by Zhong Siyu, if he didn't mend it soon, he might truly be smashed to pieces.

He couldn't believe Zhong Siyu would change her tactics in the upcoming fight. If she continued to exchange injuries with him and landed another blow to his head, even if he managed to kill her, he might end up being crushed to death.

"Kill me? Heh, you've been planning for this day for so long, haven't you?" Deng Feng didn't deny Zhong Siyu's words but rather admitted openly.

"That's right. I've waited for this day for a long time. Instead of reporting your affairs earlier, I sealed you in this ghost building, cooperating with you to make it a test ground for newcomers, all in anticipation of today!" Deng Feng sneered, his breath less labored than before.

"Once you asked me to collaborate with you, making this ghost building a test ground for your underlings, promising to release me after a hundred years. Now it seems like it was all a lie?" Zhong Siyu grinned viciously.

A burst of Yin Qi dispersed as Deng Feng's blade struck, revealing a blood-red shadow where he had stood before.

It was Zhong Siyu, who had intended to strike Deng Feng fiercely but was dodged.

"Impressive reflexes for a Burial Master. Heh, let's see if you can dodge the next one."

With a wicked grin, Zhong Siyu licked her lips with her crimson tongue, preparing to attack Deng Feng again!

"Stay away from me, keep your ghost eye open at all times. If you fall into an illusion again, I won't be able to save you!"

Deng Feng commanded the Night Watch who were alive and had regained their senses. Then, wielding his bone blade, he initiated an attack on Zhong Siyu!

The two powerhouses clashed once again, while Yang Haoran, without hesitation, pulled Master Jiang, who hadn't yet fully reacted, and retreated.

Fortunately, neither Yang Haoran nor Master Jiang were among the fallen Night Watch, but both were in bad shape, bearing numerous wounds, indicating they had been severely injured.

Master Jiang, still dazed, was pulled by Yang Haoran and snapped back to reality. He didn't resist but followed Yang Haoran to the edge of the magic array.

Behind them was the light barrier released by the magic array. Stepping out of this barrier would mean leaving this place.

"Haoran, I'm sorry, I was trapped in the illusion just now, and I..."

Master Jiang looked at Yang Haoran, full of scars, with a look of shame on his face.

Now that he had regained his senses and remembered everything that happened in the illusion, he naturally knew that he had caused Yang Haoran's injuries.

"It's nothing. The wounds on your body are also caused by me, so you don't have to blame yourself. After all, both of us were trapped in the illusion at that time." Yang Haoran smiled faintly and spoke.

Although he said so, the wounds on Yang Haoran's body were far more numerous than Master Jiang's. Master Jiang noticed this, so the shame on his face didn't diminish even after Yang Haoran's words.

"Now is not the time for this. While they're still in the heat of battle, you need to leave... if you miss this chance, there may not be another opportunity tonight!" Yang Haoran glanced at the light barrier behind them and urged Master Jiang.
