Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1094: Chapter 751: The Corpse

After resting for a night, early the next morning, Yang Xiao brought a sumptuous breakfast into the Mirror World, remembering to also wear the Drama Robe just in case.

The girl was already awake. When she saw Yang Xiao bringing delicious food again, her big eyes blinked eagerly through the cage, her face full of impatient greed.

As usual, Yang Xiao let the Mirror Ghost deliver the food, and while the girl ate, he checked the Mirror Ghost’s injuries. Fortunately, they were mostly surface wounds and had nearly healed overnight.

The more severe penetrating wounds were left by that elder from Pingzong Building, and it would take some time to fully recover.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Xiao put on special gloves and opened a silver box stored in the secret chamber. Inside was a black stone that resembled dark jade.

This was the Magic Artifact that injured the Mirror Ghost. In the dim light of the secret chamber, the stone’s surface faintly shimmered with an eerie luster, like rippling waves, quite mysterious.

Having been attacked by this item before, Yang Xiao knew its formidable power well. It excelled in both long-range offense and close-range defense, truly a remarkable treasure.

In terms of capability alone, it would be the final highlight at a treasure appraisal meeting. The only concern was the severity of its backlash.

But that didn’t matter to Yang Xiao, since he didn’t need such items. His own Magic Artifacts were no less powerful, and he intended to gift this treasure to the Mirror Ghost, as it perfectly suited it.

The Ghost Chef’s Knife was used for wide, sweeping attacks, and when paired with this peculiar black stone, the Mirror Ghost would have a powerful attack method, potent enough to give even Yang Xiao a headache.

But before that, Yang Xiao had to first lure the Opera Robe Ghost into devouring this treasure. frёeωebɳovel.com

The familiar scene played out again, and after a round of feigned reluctance and solicitations, Yang Xiao succeeded. Staring at the new black embroidery on the robe, he grasped it and "extracted" the black stone.

Perhaps due to habit, or maybe pride, Yang Xiao thought it was no big deal to devour another Magic Artifact. After all, these weren’t his. If the Drama Robe was akin to a treasure vault, then he was merely the gatekeeper.

Controlling the Mirror Ghost to accept the black stone, Yang Xiao dared not test the new Magic Artifact inside the secret chamber, so he brought the Mirror Ghost outside for practice.

It must be said, the artifact’s destructive power was amazing; just three attacks left the wall riddled with thousands of holes.

"Strange, the artifact’s power is astonishing, so why was it so ineffective in that elder’s hands?" Yang Xiao wondered. If that elder had used this move in a close attack on the Mirror Ghost back then, the ghost would have been crippled.

At a life-and-death moment, there was no reason for that elder to hold back. Moreover, his strength wasn’t weak, and his spiritual power was even half a notch above Yang Xiao’s, suggesting he should have been able to fully utilize the artifact’s wonders.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Xiao had a suspicion. He called the Mirror Ghost over for a thorough check and, sure enough, he discovered backlash injuries caused by the artifact on the Mirror Ghost.

The palm of the hand holding the stone was ulcerated, and several mysterious rotten holes appeared on its body, oozing black pus from the holes continuously.

"It’s just as I thought..." Yang Xiao released the Mirror Ghost’s hand and exhaled slowly. The treasure was indeed remarkable, but the backlash it caused was terrifyingly severe.

Luckily, the user was an unfeeling Mirror Ghost. If a human were to wield this in battle, they might have been backlash dead before long, explaining why the elder dared not attack with full strength.

In conclusion, the treasures on his person were better after all. Sister Yan Xuan’s carefully selected items were proving their worth.

After instructing the Mirror Ghost to put away the stone, Yang Xiao took it back to the secret chamber. Here, the Mirror Ghost could rapidly heal, although it would also deplete Yang Xiao’s spiritual power.

But for the Mirror Ghost, Yang Xiao deemed it well worth it. Unless against particularly tricky enemies, he felt unmatched below the Ghost Level now. freewebnσvel.cøm

Recalling the past, a Venerable Level Heretic Cultivator from the Yu Yuan Sect once chased them like lost dogs, nearly wiping out his team. Now, ordinary Fierce Level Apostles were mere dogs to him.

"All my life, I’ve been kind to others, and my achievements today are from my own sweat and efforts," Yang Xiao said.

After having the Mirror Ghost clean up the trash near the cage, Yang Xiao packed it up, planning to take it out of the secret chamber. The girl, now full and in good spirits, watched the Mirror Ghost with interest through the cage.

Without Yang Xiao’s control, the Mirror Ghost turned its head away to avoid the girl’s gaze.

By chance, Yang Xiao noticed a hemp rope tied around the girl’s exposed arm, in the same position as Chachai’s, only different in style. The one on the girl’s arm was noticeably smaller and more exquisite.

After leaving, Yang Xiao headed straight for the Patrol Defense Office. After finishing his boxing practice in the afternoon, as Chachai was helping him relax his muscles, Yang Xiao casually asked about the different types of hemp ropes tied around Chachai’s arm and briefly described the one on the girl’s arm. To his surprise, the next moment, Chachai’s face changed suddenly, and he began trembling in fear.

Yang Xiao was stunned, as it was the first time he had seen fear on the face of this dark-skinned man.

In his stammering explanation, Chachai revealed to Yang Xiao that the hemp rope on the girl’s arm came from the most terrifying force in the Myanmar-Tai Black Triangle, the Yin Temple. Only people of significant status within had the right to wear it.

Yang Xiao wasn’t surprised that the girl came from a great power, especially considering the Yin Buddha Talisman, which was undoubtedly a treasure. However, he hadn’t expected it to be linked to the Yin Temple.
