Realm of the Night God

While sloppy man's words may not have been overly insulting, as an evil spirit, Xiu Juan couldn't stand to hear such things. Even a slight provocation could stir up her deep-rooted resentment.

Xiu Juan had tried to control herself, but sloppy man's words about him being neither human nor ghost were a significant irritation to her. The resentment welling up in her mind overcame her, and she ignored Master Wu's attempts to stop her, directly using the strongest technique of the evil spirit - an illusion art - against sloppy man.

The moment Xiu Juan cast the illusion art, Master Wu knew it was bad news, because once they engaged in combat, his plan to stall for time would be ruined.

With sloppy man's strength, it was possible that before reinforcements arrived, he and Xiu Juan would already have been dealt with by the opponent.

However, since Xiu Juan had already made her move, Master Wu had no time to hesitate. He had to cooperate with Xiu Juan to hit sloppy man hard, so that they could have the greatest impact in an instant. If he hesitated, and sloppy man broke through the illusion, he would miss the best opportunity to strike.

The moment Xiu Juan's illusion art was cast, sloppy man's body trembled slightly, and his movements paused for a moment.

At the same time, Master Wu's eyes became sharp, and he waved his hands, causing several Yin spirit power chains to appear from different directions with a rustling sound, attacking sloppy man.

The huge gap in strength caused Xiu Juan's illusion to only affect sloppy man for a moment. Seeing the Yin spirit power chains from Master Wu about to hit sloppy man, sloppy man quickly broke free from the illusion.

Suddenly, green star spiritual power erupted from sloppy man's body, enveloping him completely.

The attacking chains struck this layer of green light, but were unable to penetrate it, being completely blocked by the star spiritual power. Apart from a few dull sounds, they had no effect on sloppy man whatsoever.

This was Master Wu's full-power attack, yet it was unable to break through sloppy man's suddenly formed defensive star spiritual power. This result did not surprise Master Wu, as their strengths were not on the same level, and harming the opponent was not an easy task. However, his full-power attack being blocked so easily still caused his expression to turn somewhat unsightly.

It was not just him acting alone, but also the evil spirit Xiu Juan. Yet even with the two of them working together, they had not managed to injure the opponent in the slightest. This demonstrated the vast difference in their strengths. If the opponent counterattacked, their fate would be dire.

Master Wu furrowed his brows, increasing the output of his Yin spirit power, hoping to obtain more support to break through the star spiritual power defense on sloppy man's body surface with the rapidly moving chains that seemed to have a life of their own.

As for Xiu Juan, seeing her illusion instantly broken by sloppy man, her expression did not show any fear, but instead became even more ferocious. The Yin Qi around her body grew even stronger.

A sudden, intense gust of yin wind swept through the area, causing Xiu Juan's long hair to sway wildly. With a malicious look, she once again cast an illusion art on sloppy man.

The dull sounds of intense combat continued, as Master Wu and Xiu Juan exerted their full power. Yet sloppy man remained casual, not even appearing to put in full effort, his attitude seemingly indifferent.

Confronting the opponent's casual demeanor with one's own full power is the most disheartening type of battle. But no matter how disheartening, the battle must continue. One cannot simply stand still and allow the opponent to do as they please.

If one loses the courage to resist just because the opponent's strength is superior, and simply remains motionless, allowing the opponent to do as they wish, that would be the true tragedy.

Master Wu and Xiu Juan continued their full-power attacks on sloppy man, hoping to inflict more damage. However, the star spiritual power on sloppy man's body surface never dissipated, no matter how Master Wu's chains attacked, unable to break through this layer of defense.

Each time Xiu Juan casts her illusion magic, the impact on the Sloppy Man only lasts for a fleeting moment, and after that, the Sloppy Man regains his clarity.

Piercing through Xiu Juan's illusion is a trivial matter for the Sloppy Man, and it does not consume much of his star spiritual power. However, for the caster Xiu Juan, every casting of the illusion magic is a great drain on her.

In just a short moment, both Master Wu and the evil spirit Xiu Juan have suffered significant depletion. The Yin Qi emanating from Xiu Juan has weakened considerably, no longer as intense as before, while Master Wu is starting to pant heavily and beads of sweat are forming on his face.

In contrast, the Sloppy Man, enveloped in the star spiritual power, has not suffered any harm to his body, and his star spiritual power has not been consumed much either. What's more frustrating is that he is still leisurely sipping his beer, as if this is not a life-and-death struggle, but merely a playful game.

Beyond the protective shield formed by the star spiritual power, several chain-like appendages the size of a human arm are launching fierce attacks. The Sloppy Man, however, pays no heed, continuing to drink his beer, only occasionally pausing in his movements, but the pause is only for a fleeting moment, and he quickly resumes his normal actions.

The reason he pauses is naturally due to the effect of Xiu Juan's illusion, and the fact that he resumes his normal state is because he has broken through Xiu Juan's illusion.

After draining the last of the beer in his hand, the Sloppy Man crumpled the empty can into a ball and then flung it with a wave of his hand. The crumpled can flew out at an incredible speed, directly hitting the Xiu Juan who was trying to cast her illusion again.

Boom! Xiu Juan's body was sent flying, crashing into the villa's main gate, the powerful impact even knocking the gate off its hinges.

Afterward, the Sloppy Man reached out with one hand, and the long sword embedded in the ground began to tremble. With a metallic ring, the sword was drawn out and grasped firmly in the Sloppy Man's hand.

With swift movements of the sword, several sword beams shot out, striking and shattering the chains that were furiously attacking him. Without any fancy techniques, just a few simple sword swings, the Sloppy Man unleashed a terrifying power, effortlessly destroying Master Wu's chains, which now seemed utterly powerless against him.

Judging from the Sloppy Man's demeanor, these were likely just casual swings of the sword, with only the speed being somewhat exceptional.
