Free Web NovelChapter 1346: Chapter 866: Purgatory
As the green light devoured the Bone Burning Taoist, Yang Xiao noticed an anomaly in the opponent’s left leg; hidden beneath the dark pants was not a leg, but a half-broken crutch.
Below the knee, the crutch connected to a rotting corpse’s foot, which supported the body.
Since the corpse’s foot was inside a pair of shoes — spacious cloth shoes with black tops and white soles — no one noticed it at first, until revealed under the Ghost Lantern.
Without a doubt, this twisted crutch attached to the corpse’s foot and the long dead thigh bone were both Magic Artifacts of the Bone Burning Taoist.
Earlier, when evading harm and sneaking an attack on Sui Chengguo, it was precisely the ability of this Magic Artifact — undeniably terrifying.
The Magic Artifact is one thing, but this guy also has extremely rich combat experience. Knowing that Sui Chengguo possessed the strongest spiritual power among them, he feigned defeat and retreated, secretly launching a long-distance sneak attack, perfectly coordinating with another Ghost Level partner, nearly killing Sui.
If it weren’t for Yang Xiao’s instant teleportation ability to save Sui with the Mirror Ghost, Sui might already be dead.
Even if not dead, he would be seriously injured and lose combat ability.
In that case, what was originally a three versus two stalemate would be revived by this old fellow, Bone Burn. freewebnøvel.coɱ
The Bone Burning Taoist, with an injured Ghost-level Apostle, faced Yang Xiao and the similarly wounded Song Ziming. From a spiritual power standpoint, the opponent has some advantage, but unfortunately for him, he ran into Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao believed that even if the Bone Burning Taoist’s plot succeeded, today would be their day of doom.
Trapped by the Ghost Lantern, the Bone Burning Taoist was clearly panicked, trying out moves continuously in all directions, yet even the Second Demon Taoist couldn’t comprehend the world within the Ghost Lantern, let alone this small Ghost-level Apostle.
After trapping the Bone Burning Taoist for about half a minute, Yang Xiao withdrew the prison, as it had no lethal force and consumed considerable spiritual power.
"Sui, are you alright?" Yang Xiao asked upon seeing Sui come to his side.
"I’m fine." Although he said so, at this moment, Sui Chengguo’s right arm was entirely limp; to avoid affecting the upcoming battle, Sui Chengguo directly inserted his arm into his belt for stabilization.
"Don’t worry, I’ll capture him and use him to heal you." Yang Xiao said, and he thought the same, dealing with the Withered Bone Pavilion’s people requires no mercy, this group of bastards.
Yang Xiao had seen many records of the atrocities committed by the Withered Bone Pavilion in the Patrol Defense Office. The cruelty of their methods was no less than himself possessing the Ghost Bamboo Stick, with myriad ways of torture, merely reading those cold records sent chills down the spine.
Yang Xiao, Sui Chengguo, Song Ziming, and the Mirror Ghost — these four Ghost-level Apostles tightly surrounded the old Bone Burning Ghost.
At this moment, the well-known protector of the Withered Bone Pavilion also appeared somewhat flustered, others were still manageable, but Yang Xiao grew increasingly inscrutable to him.
According to the Bone Burning Ghost’s cultivation, he could naturally see that the Mirror Ghost was not an Apostle, but a Puppet; however, the strength of this Puppet was frightening, and more dangerously, it could use Magic Artifacts, more than one.
He had only heard of such high-level Puppets, never seen one with his own eyes.
Ironically, he heard about such Puppets from his patron, who had faced attacks from a Puppet like this before, fully aware of the dangers thereof.
The patron of the Withered Bone Pavilion is also a long-established prominent figure, a genuine Netherworld Envoy, who, with sinister abilities, dominated the world of martial arts with few rivals, yet he suffered a setback at the hands of a master just at Half-step Nether Realm. freewebnσvel.cøm
Coincidentally, Yang Xiao knew this person — precisely the young Sect Master of Yu Yuan Sect.
However, Yang Xiao and the Bone Burning Taoist knew nothing of this incident, now both intent on putting the other to death.
Bone Burning Taoist, a true veteran of the world, as an orthodox Evil Cultivator Guardian, did not lose composure facing such a perilous situation; in his calculations, it was unrealistic for him alone to kill Yang Xiao and the three others plus a Puppet of the same level.
Today he can only find a way to escape first, then contact fellow experts to return for vengeance.
But... the Bone Burning Taoist slightly raised his chin, his sinister eyes hidden beneath the cloak fixed upon Yang Xiao, who also possessed a Magic Artifact capable of instant teleportation.
If he didn’t kill Yang Xiao first, the Bone Burning Taoist wouldn’t be able to escape; the ability of Yang Xiao’s Magic Artifact was much more useful than his rotten leg.
The Bone Burning Taoist now struggled to comprehend, in such a desolate place, how could there be such a master, and how did an inferior Ghost-level entity acquire so many quality Magic Artifacts?
Meanwhile, the Bone Burning Taoist’s heart was indignant; the Evil Cultivators in Jiangbei Province are useless, had such a person been on their turf, they would have been killed and had treasures plundered, leaving not even the bones or skin intact.
"Song Ziming, what are you waiting for, take him down for me?!"
Towards Song Ziming, Yang Xiao had no sympathy; now the situation was terminal for the Bone Burning Taoist, but Yang Xiao didn’t want to get hurt in its dying counterattack.
After all, Yang Xiao needed to save some spiritual power to interrogate the old Bone Burning Ghost and heal Sui.
Upon hearing Yang Xiao call his name, Song Ziming had no choice but to muster courage and step forward, while shouting fiercely to embolden himself, "Bone Burning Old Ghost, you’re really going too far; today the Marquis is here, surrender immediately!"
