Realm of the Night God

Zhong Siyu handed over the blood-red eyeball to himself, but for Yang Haoran, this seemed to be no good news.

However, for someone on the brink of death, such concerns were no longer significant. As long as he could fulfill his dying wish, swallowing this eyeball didn't seem like a big deal, even if it felt disgusting.

Yet, since the outbreak of the battle, he had been waiting for Zhong Siyu's cues. Surprisingly, Zhong Siyu not only failed to provide any hints but didn't even glance at him.

It wasn't until the moment when Deng Feng summoned the Death God's Doppelganger to seal Zhong Siyu's soul that he felt a slight vibration in the blood-red eyeball in his pocket.

Although it deviated from the prearranged signal, Yang Haoran believed it to be Zhong Siyu's sign.

Unaware of what would happen after swallowing the bizarre blood-red eyeball, Yang Haoran, faced with Deng Feng forcibly extracting the Death Mark Seal from within him, had little room for hesitation. Like eating grapes, he swallowed the eerie and repulsive eyeball in one gulp.

What he didn't anticipate was the terrifying surge of Yin Qi that erupted instantly after consuming the blood-red eyeball. Even the Death Mark Seal, on the verge of leaving his forehead, was forcibly pulled back, temporarily saving his life unexpectedly. This outcome completely defied his expectations!

Of course, Deng Feng was equally taken aback.

Watching Yang Haoran enveloped in menacing Yin Qi, Deng Feng's face turned incredibly dark. He exerted all his efforts to activate the Death Mark Seal on Yang Haoran's forehead, attempting to free it from the control of Yin Qi. Unfortunately, besides intense vibrations, the Death Mark Seal couldn't break free from the shackles of Yin Qi.

This situation primarily resulted from Deng Feng's current weakness. If he were at his peak strength, the bindings formed by Yin Qi wouldn't be able to hinder him.

Witnessing Deng Feng's astonished expression, Yang Haoran sneered inwardly. He saw this as a perfect opportunity to strike against Deng Feng and didn't want to miss it.

However, when he mobilized his Yin spirit power to attack Deng Feng, his expression froze.

Suddenly, he realized that his Yin spirit power was no longer under his control. Not only that, even control over his own body slipped away!

Simultaneously, Deng Feng sensed something and abruptly turned his head towards Zhong Siyu's position.

Upon seeing this, Deng Feng's expression stiffened. The Death God's Doppelganger still existed, but the malevolent spirit Zhong Siyu, sealed beneath it, was nowhere to be found!

Duda was dead, and the most dangerous presence on the scene for him was Zhong Siyu. That's why he had expended a significant amount of Yin spirit power to summon the Death God's Doppelganger, hoping to trap Zhong Siyu and prevent any last-minute tricks. Unexpectedly, even with the sealing of Zhong Siyu with the Death God's Doppelganger, she managed to escape unnoticed!

After a brief moment of daze, Deng Feng seemed to realize something. He turned back to Yang Haoran, only to find that Yang Haoran was reaching for a Death Mark Seal!

This Death Mark Seal was none other than the one belonging to Master Jiang!

Due to the indestructible nature of the Vajra Talisman, this Death Mark Seal had only absorbed the blood energy from Master Jiang's body and hadn't successfully consumed his soul. Consequently, this Death Mark Seal stubbornly refused to leave.

Now, Yang Haoran suddenly made a move and grabbed the Death Mark Seal.

Struggling within Yang Haoran's Yin Qi-filled palm, the Death Mark Seal tried to break free, but Yang Haoran's face unexpectedly revealed a sinister smile.

Such a terrifying and bloodthirsty smile had never appeared on Yang Haoran's face before. His smiles were always gentle in the past, but now, this sinister expression conveyed a madness that thirsted for blood!

This smile was too familiar—it was the iconic smile of the malevolent spirit Zhong Siyu!

As this sinister smile appeared, Yang Haoran's clothes underwent a sudden transformation under the intense influence of Yin Qi, turning into a blood-red attire.

Blood dripped from the blood-red attire, emitting a strong scent of blood. Deng Feng was incredibly familiar with this peculiar blood-stained garment; it was Zhong Siyu's blood attire. However, now, this blood attire appeared on Yang Haoran, seamlessly fitting without any sense of incongruity.

As if… as if this blood attire was tailored specifically for Yang Haoran!

A chilling wind swept through as Yang Haoran, clad in blood-red attire, swayed. Under Deng Feng's shocked gaze, his sinister smile on the once pitch-black ghost eyes now turned blood-red.

At this very moment, apart from his appearance and physique remaining unchanged, everything else about Yang Haoran seemed so much like Zhong Siyu.

No, it wasn't just like; it was practically Zhong Siyu, especially the sinister smile on his face, almost identical to Zhong Siyu's!

"Zhong Siyu... you!"

Deng Feng's face was filled with disbelief. He never expected Zhong Siyu to leave a hidden trick on Yang Haoran.

Now he finally understood why Yang Haoran burst into such terrifying Yin Qi. It was because this power didn't belong to Yang Haoran at all; it came from the malevolent spirit Zhong Siyu!

Confronted with Deng Feng's astonished expression, Yang Haoran didn't respond verbally. Instead, he simply tossed the Death Mark Seal he held into his stomach!

This scene not only stunned Deng Feng's facial expression once again but also startled Yang Haoran himself!

Yang Haoran's consciousness was clear, but he couldn't control his own body anymore, not even... his facial expressions were not genuine.

He felt like there was an additional presence inside him, and that presence was none other than the malevolent spirit Zhong Siyu!

After swallowing Master Jiang's Death Mark Seal, Yang Haoran immediately sensed a change in his body. His Yin spirit power didn't seem to increase significantly, but his body received nourishment from a massive surge of blood energy!

Deng Feng, in utter shock, roared, as if years of hard work had been snatched away by someone else!

"Zhong Siyu, you're seeking death!!!"

With the accompanying roar, Deng Feng reached for a floating Death Mark Seal nearby, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and directly consumed it!

After swallowing this Death Mark Seal, Deng Feng's weak aura instantly became intense. The Yin Qi on his body, which had already faded, ignited fiercely with the assistance of gasoline, becoming intense in an instant.

However, despite the significant increase in Yin Qi, due to the severe injuries he suffered and the inherent weakness of his Yin spirit power, cracks appeared on the surface of his body, and fresh blood oozed from the cracks.

"Hehe, if your body can't handle it, don't force it. Let me digest these Death Mark Seals for you!"

Yang Haoran, with a sinister smile, spoke with his voice, yet the tone and style were completely transformed, resembling Zhong Siyu who had disappeared.

With a sudden movement, accompanied by a gust of chilly wind, Yang Haoran appeared instantly in front of Deng Feng. Yin spirit power roared out, blasting towards Deng Feng!

While attacking, Yang Haoran gestured towards the Death Mark Seals floating around Deng Feng's body. A surge of Yin Qi swept over, enveloping all the Death Mark Seals. This move aimed to seize all the remaining Death Mark Seals!

These Death Mark Seals were precious treasures Deng Feng had acquired with great effort, essential for breaking through the earth soul. Just now, Yang Haoran had swallowed one, though it was an incomplete one without consuming the spirit soul, which already distressed him. If Zhong Siyu were to take away all the Death Mark Seals, then his many years of efforts would be in vain!

In this situation, Deng Feng felt like he had spent years cultivating a group of girlfriends, only for them to be forcibly taken away in front of him. The frustration in his heart was evident!

He roared, grabbing the soul weapon, a bone blade, floating in front of him. Ignoring the cracks forming on his body, he forcefully swung the bone blade!

This reckless method brought about a noticeable effect. The incoming Yin Qi was scattered, and the Yin Qi entwining the Death Mark Seals was cut off by his strike.

However, two Death Mark Seals still fell into Yang Haoran's hands.

With a sinister smile on his face, Yang Haoran, under Zhong Siyu's control, gulped down both Death Mark Seals in one go!

This audacious action not only infuriated Deng Feng but also startled the real Yang Haoran once again!
