Chapter 285: I Must Defend Myself
Yang Haoran stored the demonic pill in a separate space. According to reason, the demon suppression talisman should no longer sense the presence of the demonic pill, and naturally, it wouldn't initiate an attack on him.
However, he soon thought of a problem, which was the enchantment technique he practiced!
Although both humans and demons could practice this enchantment technique, it was ultimately a demonic art. At this moment, the demon suppression talisman might attack him, possibly because he cultivated demonic arts.
Whether his speculation was correct or not, Yang Haoran didn't have time to think about it because golden chains suddenly emerged from the cracked ground. Though the chains were only as thick as a thumb, there were many of them.
The chains were fast and had a clear target. After bursting out of the cracks, they immediately bound Yang Haoran securely.
Yang Haoran tried to struggle, but the chains remained motionless, much stronger than he had imagined.
Boom!
The dilapidated wooden house couldn't withstand such a powerful force, and it shattered with a loud crash. Wooden debris flew in all directions, turning the entire wooden house into rubble.
Although the wooden house disappeared, the demon suppression talisman did not vanish because of the destruction. The power of the demon suppression talisman not only persisted but also a massive talisman appeared above Yang Haoran's head.
This talisman was composed of black lines but emitted golden light at the periphery. It was a demon suppression talisman formed not as a physical object but by the powerful Talisman Spirit Power.The gigantic demon suppression talisman floated in the air like a mountain, exuding a strong oppressive force, hovering over Yang Haoran and the demonic woman's heads!
Yang Haoran took just a glance at the demon suppression talisman above his head and then shifted his gaze to the demonic woman.
At this moment, the demonic woman was tightly bound by the chains emerging from the ground. Her body had undergone a transformation, with the upper half remaining human, but the lower half had turned into a snake. The snow-white snake scales reflected light under the sunlight.
From this perspective, the demonic woman seemed to be a serpent demon, specifically a white snake.
In the current situation, the demonic woman no longer cared whether the crazy woman Yang Haoran had saved was present or not. Given the circumstances, she had no time or inclination to worry about such matters.
The cracks on the ground grew larger, and the golden chains forcefully pulled Yang Haoran and the demonic woman downward. Meanwhile, the demon suppression talisman floating above pressed down gradually.
It seemed that the demon suppression talisman intended to forcefully seal Yang Haoran and the demonic woman inside this mountain!
First, fix them with chains, and finally, the demon suppression talisman would seal the deal from above. This way, Yang Haoran and the demonic woman would be sealed within the mountain.
"Why are you just standing there! Take action! Do you want to be sealed together with me?"
While struggling, the demonic woman shouted at Yang Haoran. At this moment, her face showed no trace of the seductive smile, only anxiety.
Compared to the demonic woman's anxiety, Yang Haoran appeared much calmer. Although his usual smile was absent from his face, there was no sign of panic or fear, just a calm demeanor.
As the demonic woman's shout subsided, before Yang Haoran could respond, electric arcs suddenly crackled on both of their bodies.
The golden electric arcs were potent, and amid the crackling sounds, not only was the Yin Qi on Yang Haoran's body dispersed, but he also felt a tingling sensation.
Yang Haoran frowned slightly; this tingling sensation made him uncomfortable, but he did not let out any screams.
In contrast, the demonic woman's reaction was much more intense than Yang Haoran's. Under the attack of the golden electric arcs, she emitted painful screams. From these screams, it was apparent that she was undergoing significant agony.
With each scream from the demonic woman, patches of snow-white scales appeared on her face. Looking at her, it wouldn't be long before her upper body transformed entirely into a snake.
Under the assault of the golden electric arcs, the contrast between the reactions of the demonic woman and Yang Haoran became clear. It wasn't that the demonic woman was weaker; it was because she was indeed a demon, and the demon suppression talisman was specifically designed to deal with demons, possessing a strong restraining effect.
Unlike Yang Haoran, regardless of the reason he was targeted by the demon suppression talisman, he was not a demon. The power within him was not demonic spiritual power but Yin spirit power. Therefore, the golden electric arcs did not cause as much harm to him as they did to the demonic woman.
Watching the demonic woman continuously scream under the golden electric arcs, Yang Haoran did not take action. Instead, he looked at the golden chains on his own body, still frowning slightly.
"Used to using chains to deal with others, never thought I'd end up being tied up like a rice dumpling today."
Feeling a bit lamented, Yang Haoran ignored the crackling golden electric arcs on his body, lost in thought. He considered another matter: whether or not to destroy the troublesome demon suppression talisman.
If he destroyed the demon suppression talisman, the serpent demon would be able to escape from this predicament, which was not the outcome he wanted.
But if he didn't destroy the demon suppression talisman, based on the current situation, it wouldn't be long before his body was completely dragged into the crack. When the demon suppression talisman descended from above, both he and the demonic woman would be sealed within this mountain.
At that point, whether he could break the seal was uncertain. After all, being successfully sealed might suppress the power within him, and he couldn't be sure of the consequences.
If he didn't destroy the demon suppression talisman, he could use Yin spirit power to shatter the golden chains on his body and then escape from this place. This approach was feasible, but Yang Haoran was unwilling to take such a path.
Although the golden chains were sturdy, if Yang Haoran went all out, breaking them wouldn't be difficult. When he attempted to struggle just now, it was just to test the hardness of the golden chains, not an indication that he couldn't deal with them.
Once the golden chains were shattered, it was evident that these chains would definitely come after him again. To escape during this period, he needed to destroy the demon suppression talisman, as a barrier had already been formed by the released demon suppression talisman.
If he wanted to leave without harming the demon suppression talisman, the only way was to tear through the space. Whether this was feasible or not, he was unsure.
However, even if tearing through space and escaping was possible, he didn't want to do it. The reason was simple – he felt it was too embarrassing.
He could easily break the demon suppression talisman and leave effortlessly. Why should he make it look like a desperate escape?
Maybe he was being a bit arrogant, but his strength indeed did not allow him to act otherwise.
In this moment of hesitation, Yang Haoran was already halfway submerged in the ground, while the demonic woman continued to struggle violently. Only a small part of her body had entered the ground, but her painful screams persisted.
The demon suppression talisman in the sky continued to descend slowly, getting closer to Yang Haoran and the demonic woman. However, at this moment, a violent force gathered above the demon suppression talisman. The sound of muffled thunder echoed, and golden arcs continuously crackled. In the blink of an eye, the massive demon suppression talisman was shrouded in golden arcs!
Boom!
Boom!
Two golden lightning bolts descended, one towards the demonic woman and the other targeting Yang Haoran.
Although Yang Haoran was still contemplating whether to take action, he was not completely unguarded. When the demon suppression talisman in the sky showed anomalies, he sensed it. At the moment the golden lightning bolts fell, he suddenly erupted with a powerful Yin spirit power. All the chains on his body were shattered, and he disappeared from his original position.
Boom!
The golden lightning missed Yang Haoran and hit the spot where he had just been, causing the crack to widen by at least twice its previous size!
While Yang Haoran successfully evaded the attack of the golden lightning, the demonic woman lacked the ability to do so. Though she sensed the danger and attempted to dodge, her strength was suppressed, coupled with the torment from the golden electric arcs. As a result, her reaction was slightly delayed, and she failed to avoid the golden lightning.
The golden lightning struck the demonic woman, instantly burying her entire body in the ground, leaving only a head outside. She emitted screams, and her head transformed into that of a snake!
The screams continued, but they were no longer human-like; instead, they turned into an indescribable hiss.
As for Yang Haoran, even though he shattered the chains and successfully avoided the golden lightning, the demon suppression talisman had no intention of letting him off.
More golden chains shot out from the ground, bringing the sound of breaking the air, swarming towards Yang Haoran.
At the same time, the demon suppression talisman in the sky once again released golden lightning, striking down towards Yang Haoran below!
Yang Haoran's expression remained unchanged, but this time, he didn't attempt to dodge. Instead, he released Yin spirit power, forming a shield on the surface of his body.
The golden chains collided with the shield, and the golden lightning struck the shield. However, the shield, created by Yang Haoran's Yin spirit power, shattered like glass under a heavy blow.
As the shield broke, it dissipated into strands of Yin Qi. The golden lightning disappeared, but the golden chains still remained, approaching him like venomous snakes.
This scene didn't make Yang Haoran's face look unpleasant. On the contrary, he actually smiled.
Yang Haoran extended his right hand into the void. A large amount of black Yin Qi swept over, forcibly twisting the heads of these chains together, and he grabbed them in his hand.
"Sorry, I need to defend myself!"
With these words, a rich smile appeared on Yang Haoran's face. He then fiercely exerted force on the chains he was holding.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The menacing chains were all torn apart by Yang Haoran in one go!
The golden chains broke, and the chains in Yang Haoran's hand turned into specks of golden light, dissipating.
"Help me! Underworld Envoy, big brother, save me!"
