Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1278: Chapter 843: Out of Control

"Bang!"

Another tall, thin elder made a move, his gloved hand swinging in the air, striking the Mirror Ghost, which flew diagonally backwards into the darkness.

But after waiting for a long time, the crowd did not hear the dull thud of the Mirror Ghost hitting the ground.

Meanwhile, even more terrifying was the fact that the cold, stiff footsteps continued.

"Tap."

"Tap."

The footsteps echoed from all directions in the darkness, making it impossible to pinpoint their exact location; the place was narrow, leaving no room to maneuver, and the group quickly retreated.

But just as they left the secret chamber, the environment behind them struck again. A wall had inexplicably appeared in the passage that was originally the path, blocking their way.

The Luminous Pearl’s light shone on it, but couldn’t dispel the black mist enveloping the wall. freewebnovёl.ƈom

This feeling was extremely strange, for although the Luminous Pearl’s light could penetrate the wall, they were unable to see the scene beyond, as if a force was isolating them.

"Tap."

"Tap."

"Tap."

The footsteps clung to them like bone-attached maggots; the darkness pressed in from all sides, but they hadn’t even caught a glimpse of the ghost.

The situation was clear; here, within Yang Xiao’s Mirror World, a paranormal event had erupted.

This paranormal event was high-level and extremely dangerous, affecting even the Mirror Ghost, whose current state Yang Xiao could not describe.

"It’s not one, it’s two," Sheng Yanlin seemingly saw into Yang Xiao’s mind and corrected him.

"Two paranormal events erupted simultaneously?" Yang Xiao’s heart raced.

Immediately, he understood Sheng Yanlin’s meaning; there were now two ghosts here, the Painted Woman and the Mirror Ghost, which had also lost control.

"At least two," muttered Elder Kunpa beside him. He was a bit surprised but not panicking; the predicament before them didn’t seem life-threatening.

Yang Xiao took a deep breath, his worry growing, because the Mirror Ghost now armed by him had mastered multiple magic artifacts.

With corrosive black stones, the Ghost Chef’s Knife, a wooden wedge from the Thousand Prison Country, Demon Sect Vajra armor, and the Mirror Ghost itself—damn, that’s five ghosts!

If these ghosts start causing trouble simultaneously, it will be chaotic; after all, these artifacts are valuable, meaning these ghosts are difficult to deal with.

At this moment, the Luminous Pearl Grandma held also began focusing its light, tightly protecting them, the light growing increasingly pale, and Yang Xiao caught a hint of a peculiar fragrance from it.

Smelling fragrance from light surprised Yang Xiao; it seemed this Luminous Pearl was no ordinary item.

After the light transformed, the effect was evident; the black, mist-like substance could no longer come closer, blocked by the light, intertwining with it.

But this was clearly not a long-term solution; the tall, thin elder whispered a few words to Elder Kunpa, but he shook his head and refused, and the tall, thin elder ceased speaking.

Seeing Yang Xiao’s glance, Elder Kunpa explained calmly, assuring Yang Xiao that leaving was not a worry; with his presence, protecting their departure posed no problem.

If someone else had said this, Yang Xiao would think they were boasting, but coming from Elder Kunpa, it seemed very convincing.

Sheng Yanlin also nodded, seemingly understanding Kunpa’s confidence source. Seeing Yang Xiao’s confusion, Sheng Yanlin mouthed silently, and Yang Xiao recognized the words "exit."

Yang Xiao didn’t quite understand, but he reasoned Elder Kunpa must have a magic artifact capable of opening an exit, ensuring they could leave anytime, giving him such confidence.

After the Mirror Ghost "moved," Yang Xiao’s Soul-Capturing Mirror became useless; it couldn’t perform space transmission or open an exit.

With the Luminous Pearl protecting them, they were temporarily safe. The tall, thin elder stepped forward alone, raised his hand, and swung at the Ghost Hitting the Wall before them.

But this powerful swing had no effect, as if into an abyss; the suddenly appeared wall did not budge at all.

It wasn’t a matter of strength but of missing the target; in precise terms, not having selected a target.

This time, Yang Xiao acted; he took out the Ghost Lantern, infused it with spiritual power, and its flame roared alight, casting eerie green light.

Then he focused the green light, extending towards the nearby Ghost Hitting the Wall, dispersing the mist-like black fog in its path until reaching the wall.

The next moment, the Ghost Hitting the Wall began to change, contorting, the black substance retreating, revealing the scene behind the wall.

Just behind the wall stood a ghost—the Mirror Ghost!

The Mirror Ghost’s gaze now chillingly fixed on them, its face almost pressed against the wall, only adding to the eerie terror Yang Xiao felt.

This wasn’t the Mirror Ghost he once knew; now Yang Xiao somewhat believed the previous Mirror Ghost was gone, replaced by a newly spawned ghost in the Mirror World’s secret chamber.

The nearby black, tar-like substance Yang Xiao guessed was alive and akin to a ghost’s presence, originating from the black stone capable of corroding the human body into black voids.
