Realm of the Night God

Chapter 174: Invincible Vajra Talisman



<

When Master Zhou lent the Talisman to Yang Haoran back then, the entire village suffered.

Now, Wang Yiming wants to lend the Talisman to him. Does he also intend to send him away?

Wang Yiming noticed that Yang Haoran's expression was somewhat strange, showing a puzzled look on his face.

"Brother Yang, what's wrong with you?" Yang Haoran came to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and pushed the strange thoughts out of his mind.

"It's nothing. Suddenly remembered some other things. No need for the Talisman, you'd better keep it for your own protection," Yang Haoran politely declined Wang Yiming's offer.

"Don't be polite. This Talisman was given to me by my master for self-defense. It can definitely save your life at a critical moment. Don't underestimate it," Wang Yiming insisted.

Without waiting for Yang Haoran's refusal, Wang Yiming closed his eyes and quickly performed hand seals.

This scene puzzled Yang Haoran.

The next moment, Yang Haoran understood what was happening.

He saw the power fluctuations emanating from Wang Yiming gradually intensifying, especially around his chest, where the fluctuations were much stronger than elsewhere.

Under Yang Haoran's gaze, a black light suddenly appeared on Wang Yiming's chest. It flickered, and then Wang Yiming abruptly stopped his hand seals, opened his eyes, and uttered a low shout.

"Come out!"

The black light disappeared from his chest, but in front of Wang Yiming, a black Talisman appeared out of nowhere.

Seeing this black Talisman, Yang Haoran's face showed a hint of surprise.

The Talisman Wang Yiming spoke of turned out to be a black Talisman, and he even stored it within his body.

"This Talisman is called the Invincible Vajra. It doesn't have much offensive power, but its defensive capabilities are quite astonishing. After my master bestowed it upon me, not only have I never used it, but I also kept it within me to nurture its spiritual power. So now, its power has not weakened but instead grown stronger than when my master gave it to me!" Wang Yiming explained to Yang Haoran with a smile as he looked at the black Talisman floating in front of him.

Actually, Yang Haoran recognized this Talisman even without Wang Yiming's explanation. After all, he had been studying Talismans for a long time now. Recognizing the Invincible Vajra Talisman wasn't surprising; it's just that Wang Yiming wasn't aware of this fact.

"You don't have spiritual power within you, so you can't store this Talisman within your body like I did. But that's okay. Just keep it with you. If you encounter a life-threatening situation, even without activating its spiritual power, it can still be triggered passively," Wang Yiming explained.

Yang Haoran hadn't switched his internal spiritual power to Talisman spiritual power, so at this moment, he could only sense strong Yin Qi and the flow of Yin spiritual power within him. As for Talisman spiritual power, normally...

It wouldn't be perceivable by others, not even by true Talisman masters like Wang Yiming.

"Is this black Talisman the same as the one Chen Ying used back then?" Yang Haoran asked Wang Yiming uncertainly.

Back in Yangjia Bay, Yang Haoran couldn't recognize what the Invincible Vajra Talisman looked like, but now he was much more knowledgeable. Recalling the characteristics of the Talisman when it erupted with power back then, he was certain that the black Talisman Chen Ying used was the Invincible Vajra Talisman.

Although he knew this in his heart, he couldn't reveal this secret in front of Wang Yiming, so he deliberately asked.

Wang Yiming didn't think much about it and simply nodded, saying, "Chen Ying often goes on missions and sometimes deals with strange cases. I was worried about her safety, so I asked my master for another Invincible Vajra Talisman and concealed it within a pendant for her to use for self-defense."

"I can also draw this Invincible Vajra Talisman, but my abilities are limited. I can only draw yellow Talisman level Invincible Vajra Talismans. Compared to my master's black Talisman, the difference is quite significant, like... like the difference between beer and white wine, both are alcohol, but their power is completely different," Wang Yiming explained.

Yang Haoran naturally understood the logic Wang Yiming spoke of. Even though he wasn't a Talisman master, anyone with some knowledge of Talismans understood the vast difference between yellow Talismans and black Talismans.

"You keep this Talisman for now. Just return it to me when you're done using it. I need to hurry back now to make breakfast for Chen Ying. I won't chat with you any longer," Wang Yiming said, leaving Yang Haoran without waiting for a response, and descended from the car with the books Yang Haoran had returned.

Glancing at the black Talisman floating in front of him and then at Wang Yiming, who had already dashed into the residential area, Yang Haoran smiled and muttered a thank you, though Wang Yiming couldn't hear it at this point.

The Talisman that Wang Yiming lent to Yang Haoran was indeed the real Invincible Vajra Talisman. This couldn't be faked. Although Wang Yiming wasn't a true Talisman master yet, at least he could be considered half, as he knew many Talismans and could easily distinguish between real and fake ones.

Although the scene of Wang Yiming borrowing the Talisman was extremely similar to Master Zhou's borrowing, they were fundamentally different. Master Zhou wanted to harm him, while Wang Yiming was trying to help him.

Yang Haoran's gaze returned to the black Talisman floating in the air, watching as it emitted faint black rays. He smiled and closed his eyes, performing hand seals, though his technique was somewhat clumsy compared to Wang Yiming's proficiency. Nevertheless, he managed to complete the seals.

At the moment the seals were completed, the black Talisman floating in front of him seemed to respond to some kind of summons, transforming into a black light that merged into Yang Haoran's body.

As the black Talisman disappeared, Yang Haoran opened his eyes. However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered another important matter.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Wang Yiming's number...

After a few rings, the call was answered, and Wang Yiming's voice sounded puzzled.

"Brother Yang, what's up?"

"I forgot to ask you something earlier. Do you know about the Soul Scattering Needle?"

Yang Haoran had come to see Wang Yiming early in the morning today, partly to return some books and also to inquire if Wang Yiming knew anything about the Soul Scattering Needle. However, he had forgotten about it amidst his surprise at Wang Yiming taking out the black Talisman.

"The Soul Scattering Needle?" Wang Yiming's voice revealed confusion, and upon hearing this, Yang Haoran had a good idea: Wang Yiming didn't know about the Soul Scattering Needle.

As expected, Wang Yiming's subsequent response confirmed his suspicions.

"I've never heard of such a thing, but I can ask my master for you. He's very knowledgeable; perhaps he might know." Wang Yiming replied.

Wang Yiming's master could draw black Talismans, indicating that he was at least a black Talisman master. Such masters were formidable, naturally possessing extensive knowledge. It was possible that he might have some understanding of black Talismans.

"Alright, please ask him when you have time. Oh, and thank you for the black Talisman. I'll return it to you by the end of the month."

Although he said this aloud, Yang Haoran inwardly sighed, "If I'm still alive by the end of the month."

"No worries, you can use it for now. Don't mention returning it by the end of the month or anything. Return it whenever things calm down on your end," Wang Yiming replied generously. Yang Haoran thanked him again with a smile before finally hanging up the phone.

Instead of immediately driving away, Yang Haoran lit a cigarette and leaned back in his seat, wearing an expression of hesitation, as if he were grappling with a difficult decision.

Once the cigarette burned down, his expression of hesitation disappeared. He picked up his mobile phone, found Xu Meijing's number in his contacts, and sent her a message.

"Hi, how have you been lately?"

After sending the message successfully, Yang Haoran felt somewhat anxious, as if he were doing something secretive. He quickly lit another cigarette to calm his nerves.

When the cigarette was halfway smoked, the notification tone sounded, prompting Yang Haoran to quickly check his mobile phone. However, he didn't see the reply he had hoped for from the person he desired, but instead received a reminder to pay his bills.

Disappointment clouded Yang Haoran's face. He shook his head in resignation, smiled wryly, and continued smoking while waiting.

After smoking several cigarettes, feeling his throat parched, and still not receiving a reply from Xu Meijing, Yang Haoran began to feel restless.

After much hesitation, he ultimately decided against calling her. If she hadn't responded to his message, it meant she might be busy at the moment or hadn't noticed it. Even if she had noticed, she might not have had time to reply, making it inappropriate for him to call her in such a situation.

Of course, there was another possibility: she might simply be ignoring his message. This was the possibility Yang Haoran least wanted to entertain and the most difficult for him to accept.

"I'll give her a call later."

With this thought in mind, Yang Haoran drove away, but his destination wasn't the grocery store; it was the Wu Family villa.
