Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1347: Chapter 866: Purgatory

Song Ziming also had his own thoughts, hoping to persuade the Bone Burning Taoist to surrender, so he wouldn’t have to fight him.

But the next second, just as he finished speaking, he felt a cold wind blowing from behind, followed by a bone-chilling coldness.

Trembling, he turned his head and was shocked to see the Mirror Ghost standing behind him. One of its arms was paralyzed, but in the other hand, it held a rusty cleaver.

"Brother, I intended to win without a fight, this is the best strategy." Song Ziming argued nervously, but all he got in return was a merciless slap from the Mirror Ghost.

"Song Ziming, can’t you see? They have no intention of letting you go. Turncoat now and help me, you might still have a slim chance of survival!" The Bone Burning Taoist, seeing an opportunity, immediately tried to turn Song Ziming to his side.

"Bah! You old bastard, you’ve chased me for hundreds of miles and now you want to drag me down, keep dreaming!"

Song Ziming wasn’t very smart, but he wasn’t foolish either. In the current situation, even joining forces with the Bone Burning Taoist wouldn’t help.

Yang Xiao and these three guys were not to be trifled with, he had already experienced the gap between them firsthand, and Sui Chengguo could single-handedly defeat him twice over.

Drawing out a large ladle, Song Ziming shouted and charged at the Bone Burning Taoist. Although the Bone Burning Taoist was in poor condition, dealing with one Song Ziming was no problem for him. What gave him pause was that the puppet, which was originally standing behind Song Ziming, had vanished without a trace.

The disappearance of the puppet was his true worry. He had to constantly guard against attacks from either the puppet or Yang Xiao, preventing him from using his true strength against Song Ziming. The two grappled closely, with no decisive outcome.

After a few exchanges, Song Ziming grew increasingly confident, suddenly realizing that the old man didn’t appear as terrifying as the rumors suggested.

Both injured, they were evenly matched.

"Old dog, surrender your life!" Song Ziming tried a move, and during the Bone Burning Taoist’s distraction, he struck him in the chest with the ladle, knocking him back three steps.

He vaguely heard the sound of bones breaking, guessing the ribs were broken.

At this moment, the Bone Burning Taoist felt unspeakable bitterness. Yang Xiao was too tricky, periodically teleporting the Mirror Ghost nearby, but never attacking, just holding the cleaver and looking for an opportunity. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Needing to split his focus on the Mirror Ghost, the Bone Burning Taoist was hit several times by Song Ziming. Fortunately, his physical endurance allowed him to hold on.

This, however, was not a sustainable plan. Anger swelled within the Bone Burning Taoist, and upon sensing the Mirror Ghost appeared at his diagonal rear, he deliberately showed a flaw.

Eager for victory, Song Ziming fell for it, sending the Bone Burning Taoist flying with one move.

In the next second, the Bone Burning Taoist vanished into the air. freewebnovel.cσ๓

He then appeared in front of the Mirror Ghost, swinging a human thigh bone down, as in his eyes, the Mirror Ghost was the main threat.

But Yang Xiao had foreseen this move. The Mirror Ghost vanished in an instant, leaving the Bone Burning Taoist to miss entirely.

That wasn’t all; Song Ziming also charged from behind, believing the Bone Burning Taoist left a major flaw open.

However, what he didn’t expect was the Bone Burning Taoist had far more combat experience, at least ten times his. Missing the strike was no hesitation, he utilized his waist to rotate on the spot 180 degrees, increasing speed, and the bone turned to strike right at him.

By the time he wanted to retreat, it was too late. As he felt the bone drawing closer, Song Ziming’s heart chilled to the core.

At this time, sensing the terrifying spiritual power fluctuations from the bone, Song Ziming realized that the Bone Burning Taoist’s clashing with him was fake; the true aim was a one-shot kill on the Mirror Ghost.

But now, with the plan thwarted, he became the substitute death, a truly unjust fate.

However, at the critical moment, a figure appeared from behind like a divine weapon descending from the sky.

It was indeed the Mirror Ghost!

Song Ziming’s spirits lifted, knowing the rescue had come, and he cried out for help: "Save me..."

Yet, in the next second, he was dumbfounded, realizing the Mirror Ghost seemed not to save him.

Instead, it pushed him from behind, using him as a shield, charging at the Bone Burning Taoist.

In inevitable despair, the bone slammed heavily into Song Ziming’s chest, shattering his chest bones and ending his life as the vitality fled from his eyes.

But with Song Ziming taking the hit, the Mirror Ghost successfully closed in on the Bone Burning Taoist, landing a chop on his face.

The Ghost Chef’s Knife wasn’t sharp but did severe damage, and as the Bone Burning Taoist was stunned, the Mirror Ghost opened its arms and engulfed him in a tight hold.

Under the Mirror Ghost’s strong control, the Bone Burning Taoist could not escape, and at this moment, Yang Xiao made his move. With a swift step, he appeared behind the Bone Burning Taoist, holding the Ghost Bamboo Stick, and swept down, crippling both of the opponent’s legs.

The legs shattered below the knees, blood and flesh splattered on the ground, and the rot embedded in the body and feet was ripped away.

The Bone Burning Taoist opened his mouth wide, emitting an inhuman scream, but was silenced by a headbutt from the Mirror Ghost, knocking out some yellowing teeth.

Yang Xiao then drew out a high-powered stun baton modified by the Patrol Defense Office, jamming it into the Bone Burning Taoist’s lower back. With a crackling electric sound, the Bone Burning Taoist’s body convulsed until he slumped unconscious.

After taking care of the Bone Burning Taoist, Sui quickly collected the Magic Artifacts from Song Ziming and a few other Ghost-level Apostles. Then Yang Xiao ordered the surviving subordinates hidden nearby to clean up the battlefield, gather the Magic Artifacts, and return their fallen to base.
