Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1097: Chapter 752: Pingsong Building Master - 2

"It was you who killed my daughter..." Every word the man spoke was squeezed out from between his teeth, "Today, no matter who you are, I’m going to capture you. I won’t kill you easily. I’ll make you understand that living can be ten thousand times more painful than dying."

"It was your daughter’s spoiled nature that led her to order the elders to kill me. Her incompetence led to her being killed by me in retaliation, it’s her own fault!"

At this point, Yang Xiao had nothing to hide. The reason this woman was killed was entirely due to the unrestrained arrogance of the man before him, and this was the natural repercussion.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiao’s words completely enraged the man. He growled in a low voice, like a frenzied beast, "I don’t care. You killed my daughter. Today, I’ll ensure you can’t live, nor can you die!"

Through the perception of the Human Bone Staff, Yang Xiao knew this person was a true Ghost-level Apostle. At this moment, he decided not to waste any more words, choosing to strike first, and began accumulating power upon sensing the man’s malicious intent. Now, catching him off guard, he swung a powerful blow, sending a fierce wave of energy rushing towards the man.

This time, Yang Xiao did not hold back, with at least eight or nine-tenths of his full power. The man reacted extremely quickly, as a hammer slid into his hand from his sleeve, which he grabbed and then hurled at Yang Xiao. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Just as the man swung the hammer through the air, a bizarre scene unfolded. The hammer originally in the man’s right hand suddenly vanished, and simultaneously, the space in front of Yang Xiao began to twist.

Feeling an impending threat, Yang Xiao immediately attempted to retreat, but he staggered and nearly fell; his left leg suddenly refused to move, as though rooted to the spot.

Under the eerie green glow of the Ghost Lantern, Yang Xiao looked down and saw a horrifying sight: a decayed dead child clutching his left leg tightly with its limbs.

Apparently sensing the green glow restraining it, the dead child stiffly lifted its face, revealing two empty eye sockets, the eyeballs long since rotted away.

At the critical moment, Yang Xiao had no choice. He prepared to withstand the blow while summoning the Mirror Ghost to shield him.

Simultaneously, he directly thrust the Ghost Lantern into the dead child’s face, detonating it at a close range. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

The vanished hammer surged out from the space in front, crashing heavily into the Mirror Ghost’s chest, causing an instant depression and sending it flying backward. Yang Xiao clearly heard the crisp sound of bones breaking.

Thankfully, at the last moment, he detonated the Ghost Lantern, driving away the dead child, and using the force of the Mirror Ghost crashing towards him, Yang Xiao activated the Soul-Capturing Mirror, falling into the Mirror World alongside the Mirror Ghost.

Upon landing, Yang Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood, his chest burning with pain, likely indicating broken ribs.

Fortunately, the Mirror Ghost was there to shield him, otherwise, that single hammer strike would have probably ended his life.

Yang Xiao never imagined that the Pingsong Building Master possessed such strength, surpassing the levels of the previous Pingxi Marquis and Xiu Sect Master, standing out even among the Ghost-level Apostles.

Severely injured by a strike, Yang Xiao struggled to get up, realizing that this time he had run up against a formidable opponent. Normally, the Pingsong Building Master might not be so formidable, but today was different; the old man was determined to fight to the death, recklessly expending his spiritual power.

The Mirror Ghost in front was injured even worse than Yang Xiao, but it had no sense of pain, suffering only slight impairment in movement, otherwise, it appeared largely unharmed. Yang Xiao saw that the wooden wedge piercing the Mirror Ghost’s heart had been hammered a good way out.

Yang Xiao couldn’t help but take a sharp breath; Ghost-level Apostles are terrifying!

There’s no way to win in a fight, Yang Xiao decided to wait him out, refusing to believe the opponent could sustain such a state for long, looking to escape when his strength was exhausted.

Yes, escape. That previous strike had left a shadow in Yang Xiao’s mind. Even if the old man had only a breath left, Yang Xiao wouldn’t consider going head-to-head with him.

The earlier blow from Yang Xiao had indeed struck the Pingsong Building Master solidly. In ensuring Yang Xiao’s severe injury, the opponent hadn’t dodged at all; his confidence stemmed from a high-level Protective Magical Artifact worn on him. Even so, the blow completely disregarded the artifact’s protection, striking him directly.

Though uninjured and not knocked flying, the Master momentarily lost focus, furrowing his brow upon regaining composure, never expecting the odd short staff on Yang Xiao to be a rare Spiritual Spiritual Artifact.

The treasures on this person were numerous and valuable, even so much that he could not fully comprehend them, convincing him of strong backing from a formidable force; if not seeking revenge for his daughter, he would never have dared to confront this individual.

Hidden in the Mirror World, Yang Xiao, whose breath hadn’t settled, quickly witnessed a terrifying sight. The full moon above the dense forest inexplicably began to shake, its cold rays visibly shrinking until finally forming a column of light focused on the copper mirror he left outside.

"Not good!" Yang Xiao sensed something, seeing ripples slowly appear on the copper mirror as the passage to the Mirror World opened.

Being the master of the Soul-Capturing Mirror, Yang Xiao certainly could seal this passage, yet it would require considerable spiritual power, and his level of spiritual power couldn’t possibly last against the rampaging state of the Pingsong Building Master outside.

Soon, a figure appeared not far in front of Yang Xiao as the Pingsong Building Master entered, facing off with him in the Mirror World.

Upon noticing the Mirror Ghost protecting Yang Xiao, the Pingsong Building Master’s expression became complex; this young man had already brought him far too many surprises on this night.
