Chapter 425: The Lone Demon Hunter
Before entering the underworld, Yang Haoran stored his mobile phone in an independent space, because in the underworld, the mobile phone in the mortal world had no signal, and keeping it on him would only be a hindrance, while the mobile phone in the independent space also had no signal, so when Yang Haoran took out the mobile phone from the independent space, it would continue to vibrate due to a series of incoming messages.
This was not the first time Yang Haoran encountered such a situation, and with the upcoming new year, receiving a few more text messages was also normal, so he did not pay much attention to it at the time.
However, when he habitually opened the text messages, the information he saw surprised him.
The New Year's greetings from his friends did not cause any change in his expression, but the real change was caused by a text message from Master Wu.
The content of the text message was simple - the former demon hunter had appeared, just outside the villa, see the message and respond quickly!
Before sending this text message, Master Wu must have called him, but since the mobile phone was in the independent space without a signal, he could not get through, so he sent this text message.
The text message was not long, but the information contained was significant.
Yang Haoran did not need to think to know whose identity the former demon hunter referred to - it was the demon hunter he had encountered in the ancient tomb of Shilin Town.
In that great battle, Yang Haoran had used all his methods, not only consuming the soul pill, but also forcibly summoning the Death God Manifestation. Although the victory belonged to him, he had also suffered serious injuries, and in the end, it was Master Wu who brought people to take him back.
At that time, Bai Xue was even more embarrassing. Not only was she beaten back to her original form, but she was also left with only her last breath, and they almost didn't know how to get her back from the mountain if Yang Haoran hadn't had Master Wu bring a large truck.Afterwards, Yang Haoran was worried that this person would seek revenge, so he prepared to take the initiative, and had Master Wu find a way to locate this demon hunter.
However, this demon hunter seemed to have vanished from the world, and there was no news of him after that night, and he did not come to bother Yang Haoran either.
Later, due to Yang Haoran being busy refining the soul-refining cauldron, he temporarily put this person out of his mind, but Master Wu did not stop searching for him, only to still have no progress, until this time when they entered the underworld, Master Wu still did not find any trace of this person.

But what he didn't expect was that just after returning from the underworld, this person had appeared, not only appeared, but also killed at his doorstep.
Yang Haoran was not sure whether the current Bai Xue was a match for this demon hunter. Although Bai Xue's strength had greatly increased compared to before, who dared to be sure that this demon hunter's strength had not also improved?
If this demon hunter had also encountered some extraordinary event that caused his strength to surge, it was possible that the current Bai Xue would not be a match for him either.
If even Bai Xue was not a match for this demon hunter, then Master Wu and the other Night Watch members would be even less so, facing him would be like sending food.
It was precisely because he had considered this that Yang Haoran was not only surprised but also anxious, and after briefly greeting Xu Meijing, he tore open the space and left.
As for why he refused Xu Meijing's kindness, it was because he felt that he could handle this matter himself, so he did not want to trouble Xu Meijing.
In front of Yang Haoran's villa in Lecheng, Master Wu had a solemn expression, and standing next to him was a woman, whose figure and appearance were absolutely superior, but she was not a living person, but the evil spirit Xiu Juan wearing a flesh vessel.
This flesh vessel was not custom-made, and the appearance and figure were not her original form, but since she liked this flesh vessel very much, this time when Yang Haoran went to the underworld to customize the flesh vessel, he did not include her.
Xiu Juan's face showed no smile, and like Master Wu, her expression was also extremely solemn at the moment.
Not far in front of the two stood a man, the man had long hair and a full beard, wearing a dirty overcoat and looking very sloppy.
The man held a can of beer in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, as if he didn't see Master Wu and Xiu Juan, drinking the beer on his own.
This sloppy man was the demon hunter who had once fought with Yang Haoran in the ancient tomb of Stone Forest.
Today, Bai Xue was out on a mission and was not at home, so there were only Master Wu and Xiu Juan mother and son.
After discovering the existence of the demon hunter, Master Wu immediately called Yang Haoran, but the call could not get through, so he did not continue to call, but sent a text message to Yang Haoran as quickly as possible.
Afterwards, he also sent out several group messages, and then immediately appeared outside the villa, blocking the other party's path to prevent him from entering the villa.
Xiu Juan also sensed the powerful energy fluctuations emanating from the other party, and knowing that Master Wu might not be a match for him, she gave Xiaokang a few instructions and also appeared outside the villa.
As for Xiaokang, he was of course left inside the villa, after all, his strength could still deal with ordinary people, but to deal with a demon hunter like the sloppy man, he would definitely be killed in seconds, as Xiu Juan, as a mother, naturally would not let her own child go to his death.
"Friend, this is my private residence, I don't know what business you have here?" Master Wu looked at the sloppy man and asked in a deep voice.
The sloppy man was a demon hunter, this was known to Master Wu.
Since the other party appeared here, in Master Wu's view, the purpose was definitely to seek revenge.
And the reason he asked such a question was, of course, to pretend to know nothing, in order to delay as much as possible.
The sloppy man did not deliberately hide his energy fluctuations, and from the powerful energy fluctuations emanating from him, Master Wu knew that he was not the other party's match, even with the addition of the evil spirit Xiu Juan, they could not last long against him.
So, in the face of the current situation, the most rational approach was to delay time, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then there would be a chance of winning.
Previously, he had called Yang Haoran, but the call could not get through, and then he had sent a text message to Yang Haoran, but he knew that the possibility of Yang Haoran returning in time to provide support was small, because Yang Haoran had gone to the underworld and it was not known when he would return.
However, in addition to Yang Haoran, he had also sent messages to some other people in a group, one of which was Bai Xue. As long as Bai Xue, the freat demon, received the message and rushed back, then the disparity in strength between them would not be so great.
In response to Master Wu's question, the sloppy man did not immediately answer, but instead drained the entire can of beer in one gulp, then crushed the can with one hand and casually threw it on the ground.
The can hit the ground with a clang, and then he took out another can of beer from the independent space, inserted the long sword into the ground, and the thick stone slab was as fragile as tofu under the long sword, easily penetrating a foot into the ground.
The long sword swayed, and the sloppy man slowly opened the beer can with both hands, then tilted his head and gulped down another big mouthful, before turning his gaze to the opposite Master Wu.
"I'm not here for you, I'm here to find Lecheng Yin Division's Burial Master, Yang Haoran." After swallowing the beer, the sloppy man said in a slightly drunk tone.
To delay time, Master Wu also did not immediately respond to the sloppy man, he deliberately frowned and looked pensive, and after a while, he spoke.
"What business do you have with him?" Master Wu asked.
"You don't need to know, and you don't have the right to know. Let him come out to see me, or I'll go in and see him." The sloppy man said indifferently.
The sloppy man's words did not leave Master Wu any face at all, and one could even hear a hint of disdain for Master Wu, because his strength was far beyond Master Wu's, and this huge gap in strength made him feel that he and Master Wu were not on the same level at all.
The sloppy man's attitude did not change Master Wu's expression, he was still solemn, and there was no trace of anger on his face.
However, upon hearing the man's words, Xiu Juan's expression immediately became ugly, and a visible black Yin Qi began to rise from her body, her eyes turning milky white!
Xiu Juan was originally an evil spirit, and her resentment was extremely heavy. After her experience with Yang Haoran, her resentment had decreased somewhat, but compared to ordinary undead, her resentment was still very heavy. She did not express her resentment in front of Yang Haoran and the others, but it did not mean that her resentment had dissipated.
The sloppy man's words were not directed at her, but in her heart, Master Wu occupied an extremely important position, and her respect for Master Wu was second only to Yang Haoran, so at the moment, the sloppy man's words triggered her fierce side!
Sensing the change in Xiu Juan, Master Wu frowned and looked at Xiu Juan, then used his eyes to stop Xiu Juan.
Although he didn't say anything, Xiu Juan understood Master Wu's gaze, and she gave up the immediate attempt to attack the sloppy man, but the Yin Qi rising from her body did not subside, and her milky white eyes looked at the sloppy man with icy coldness.
The sloppy man's gaze was attracted by the current Xiu Juan, and his brow furrowed as he looked at Xiu Juan.
"The evil spirit doesn't look like an evil spirit, the person doesn't look like a person, the strength is not strong but a bit interesting. Yang Haoran, as the Burial Master of the Yin Division, is really good at manipulating these things that are neither human nor ghost."
The sloppy man detected the problem with Xiu Juan, but he seemed unaware of the existence of the underworld flesh vessel, so he became somewhat interested in Xiu Juan.
And Xiu Juan, upon hearing the sloppy man's words, was triggered again, and she could no longer control the ferocity in her heart. Her facial expression suddenly became ferocious, and the milky white eyes flashed with a brilliant light as she cast an illusion on the sloppy man!
