Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1102: Chapter 755: Choose a Handsome Man

Yang Xiao suddenly recalled a previous sparring session where Senior Brother Mingyue lost control at the last moment. If it weren’t for their uncle’s intervention, that killing rod would have crushed him, and even ten lives wouldn’t have been enough.

Because of this incident, Senior Brother Mingyue was punished and made to reflect on his actions, even kowtowing to apologize.

Yang Xiao clearly remembers the words Senior Brother Mingyue said while kneeling on the ground. He admitted that during their match, he had intended to kill Yang Xiao, but it wasn’t his true intention. It was the ghost that disturbed his mind.

Regarding Senior Brother Mingyue, Yang Xiao could not sit idly by. After dressing, he followed Daoist Qingfeng to leave.

The two returned to the hotel and went to Senior Brother Mingyue’s residence. As soon as they entered, Yang Xiao keenly sensed a surge of evil qi. Senior Brother Mingyue was sitting on the ground, shirtless, tied with iron chains and firmly bound to a copper pillar.

The environment surrounding Daoist Mingyue seemed to be distorted by some sinister force, growing increasingly gloomy and dark, as if something was stirring at the boundary between light and dark.

At the moment, Daoist Mingyue had his eyes tightly shut, his muscles tense from intense struggling earlier, his skin rubbed raw and bloody by the coarse iron chains.

"Junior Brother Mingyue foresaw losing control and voluntarily asked me to bind him up." Daoist Qingfeng, witnessing his junior brother suffering, had red-rimmed eyes. The two had learned together under their master’s teachings and were like brothers.

"Senior Brother, don’t rush, let me try first." Yang Xiao motioned for Senior Brother Qingfeng to step back, then took out the Ghost Lantern, directing its green light toward Senior Brother Mingyue.

The green light shot into the darkness behind Mingyue, as if swallowed by a force. Yang Xiao clearly remembered that the last time he used this move while sparring with Senior Brother Mingyue, there stood a tall black shadow in the darkness behind. But this time, the shadow was nowhere to be seen!

Meanwhile, Ming Yue seemed to perceive the threat of the Ghost Lantern. In the next second, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his whites had nearly completely disappeared, leaving only pitch black pupils fixedly staring at Yang Xiao.

"Oh no..."

Yang Xiao shuddered internally. Senior Brother Mingyue’s ghostly appearance was obviously due to backlash from the magic artifact, his body taken over by the ghost within it.

Based on previous tests, the Ghost Lantern was remarkably effective against such ghosts. Yang Xiao took out the Soul-Capturing Mirror and threw it in front of him, intending to use the Ghost Lantern to drive the ghost away.

Infusing the Ghost Lantern with boundless spiritual power, the green light grew stronger. Yang Xiao controlled the angle, narrowing the beam enough to cover Senior Brother Mingyue entirely.

As time ticked by, the effects became evident. The darkness surrounding Ming Yue melted like snow, and the pitch-black pupils gradually returned to normal, the whites reappearing.

Under the green light, Daoist Mingyue’s expression grew increasingly strange, and under his original skin emerged a terrifyingly hideous green ghost face—the same ghostly figure that had appeared behind him!

The ghostly face seemed to resist the Ghost Lantern. With every increase in green light, the ghost face retreated slightly, its pitch-black eyes filled with endless malice toward Yang Xiao.

At this moment, Yang Xiao was also near exhaustion, but he dared not, could not stop. If he stopped now, not only would all previous efforts be wasted, he might even endanger himself.

He could sense the ghost’s interest in him seemed greater than in Senior Brother Mingyue.

The ghost switched targets, now wanting to possess his body.

After maintaining the stalemate for a while, Yang Xiao began to weaken, his spiritual power state unsuitable for battling such an evil ghost.

Yang Xiao decisively chose a second plan. He would escape to the Mirror World before the ghost attempted to possess him, allowing Senior Brother Mingyue to regain control of his own body.

With Senior Brother Mingyue’s skills, it would be manageable to repress the ghost again and control the Killing Rod.

Fortunately, Yang Xiao had planned for the worst-case scenario. Before using the Ghost Lantern for exorcism, he had already thrown the Soul-Capturing Mirror ahead.

The Ghost Lantern burst forth a green light, temporarily repelling the evil ghost, and Yang Xiao swiftly dodged, retreating into the Mirror World. The moves were executed fluidly, and in the final moment, Yang Xiao saw a black shadow lunging at him.

Escaping into the Mirror World, Yang Xiao leaned against a wall, panting heavily. It was indeed a challenge; his current spiritual power level was just half of its peak.

Looking outside through the Soul-Capturing Mirror, it was evident that Senior Brother Mingyue had finally returned to normal. Though slightly weary, his eyes and expression were fully restored.

Daoist Qingfeng had rushed over, now kneeling in front of him, excitedly saying something.

Yang Xiao smiled, let out a breath of relief, wiped sweat from his forehead, and looked at the Ghost Lantern, internally marveling at its unparalleled quality as a magic artifact gifted by his good sister.

At this moment, Daoist Qingfeng had already unlocked the chains, and Senior Brother Mingyue shakily stood up, his bronze-colored muscles bulging, covered with fresh scrapes.

Grabbing the Killing Rod, he seemed to be feeling it carefully. But the next second, Senior Brother Mingyue’s expression changed drastically; he swung the iron rod twice in the air, but there was no black mist, no evil qi, nothing at all.

At the same time, seeing this scene, Daoist Qingfeng immediately sensed something was amiss, hurriedly searching for Yang Xiao. freewёbnoνel.com

Witnessing this, Yang Xiao’s heart sank. He quickly illuminated the Ghost Lantern, searching within the Mirror World for the ghost’s trace; but after scanning around, he found nothing.

Yang Xiao took a deep breath and aimed the green light at himself, casting his shadow on the wall. The shadow’s proportions did not match Yang Xiao at all—tall, robust, with arms as thick as his waist.
