Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1371: Chapter 872: Divine Weapon

Yang Xiao’s heart shook at these words; he never expected that his Second Martial Uncle, who had been sitting motionless, was because his legs were severed, and the one who did it was the Sword Lord!

"Show me the sword." The voice of the usually calm Second Demon Taoist trembled.

Daoist Mingyue received the ring-headed saber and placed it in a large copper tray, squatted down, drew open the curtain, and sent the sword inside.

Seizing the moment when the curtain was pulled open, Yang Xiao stealthily glanced inside, yet still couldn’t clearly see his Second Demon Uncle. It was hazy inside, as if obscured by some mysterious force, and he could only make out a vague silhouette of a tall, thin person.

Tall and thin, because even when the Second Demon Uncle was seated, his height was almost similar to Senior Brother Qingfeng.

Unable to restrain himself, the Second Demon Uncle eagerly grabbed the sword and held it upright before him, looking at it for a full ten seconds; anyone could see his inner turmoil at this moment.

"It’s it! It’s it!" Second Demon Uncle’s voice was piercing, and Yang Xiao suddenly felt a gust of sinister wind hitting his face.

"Mo Wentian, who would have thought we would meet again under such circumstances!"

Second Demon Uncle, seeming to rave madly, continuously spoke to the sword, "For so many years, every time I dream, it’s of you severing my legs. Now I’ve found the way to break your unique skill, yet you... you won’t give me the chance for revenge; you’ve fallen!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Yang Xiao dared not utter a single sound; he listened with cold sweat pouring, realizing that the fame of the Sword Lord was not mere exaggeration. To sever his uncle’s legs, ordinary Netherworld Envoys wouldn’t suffice.

It seems this Sword Lord was ranked as a top expert in the General Bureau; otherwise, he wouldn’t have led a raid into the Yin Temple’s territory nor independently covered the retreat.

Seeing Second Demon Uncle talking to himself in delirium, neither Yang Xiao nor the other two dared to interrupt or speak. Daoist Qingfeng leaned closer to Yang Xiao and quietly explained that the Sword Lord was indeed his master’s Heart Demon.

This person possessed extremely great strength, ranking within the top five experts of that generation’s Patrol Defense Office, facing few opponents in the world.

"Junior Brother, you might have to endure some hardship later." Daoist Qingfeng sighed, casting Yang Xiao a self-reliant look.

Yang Xiao didn’t have a chance to ask why before seeing Daoist Qingfeng take small steps back, immediately distancing himself from him.

"Mingyue! Give him the sword; accompany your junior brother in sparring, no holding back."

"Never mind, your attacks lack moderation; better I handle it myself!" Second Demon Uncle excitedly threw the sword out, slicing through the curtain before landing unerringly into Monk Mingyue’s hand.

As Monk Mingyue returned the sword to Yang Xiao, his mind was still buzzing; he felt the Second Demon Uncle’s hand would be even more merciless.

"Uncle, I think it’s unnecessary; I just received this magical artifact and am not yet proficient," Yang Xiao sensed impending trouble and sought to avoid this ordeal.

Yet with the Second Demon Uncle already fired up, how could he allow for evasions, "Nephew, you’re too slow in mastering magical artifacts, actual combat hastens the pace—come, attack me! Use this sword!"

Yang Xiao cast a desperate glance to his two senior brothers, but Senior Brother Qingfeng looked to the sky, and Senior Brother Mingyue gazed at the ground, neither would look his way.

"Nephew, don’t hold back, swiftly attack me!" Second Demon Taoist was highly enthusiastic.

"Then... Uncle, pardon me!!" freewebnøvel.com

Yang Xiao was now not what he once was; having stepped into the ranks of Ghost-level Apostles, he would inevitably confront true experts in the future. With Uncle accompanying him in practice, it was a golden opportunity.

Moreover, he could unleash his full power, knowing his uncle wouldn’t harm him.

In that instant, Yang Xiao envisioned his attack strategy; though he had no other valuables on him, his abundance of magical artifacts determined his diversified combination skills.

Uncle only requested he use the ring-headed saber, yet did not restrict him to it alone.

Yang Xiao let out a loud shout and stamped heavily, leveraging his body’s force to jump up, twisting his palm, swinging the Human Bone Staff to strike his Second Demon Uncle twice.

Such attacks, of course, posed no threat to Second Demon Uncle; it was merely Yang Xiao’s probing. In the next second, Yang Xiao vanished as he charged toward the curtain.

Almost simultaneously, a figure emerged from the copper mirror hanging beside the Second Demon Taoist, raising an arm to smash down on Second Demon Taoist’s head.

Second Demon Taoist swiftly raised his right arm, slapping this figure’s chest with his palm, only to hear the muffled sound of palm striking a water trough.

Having hit the armor on the Mirror Ghost’s body, the Mirror Ghost seemed to encounter a head-on collision with a bulldozer, releasing the Black Stone he held; he flew back.

But this created an opening for Yang Xiao; now he had appeared behind Second Demon Taoist, and the Ghost Bamboo Stick fiercely smashed down.

Second Demon Taoist sensed something, and without turning, lifted his left arm, conjuring a Bronze Bell Wall to block the attack, with the Ghost Bamboo Stick triggering a bell’s resonant sound upon impact.

Now!!

The Ghost Bamboo Stick dropped to the ground, Yang Xiao immediately abandoned this magical artifact, disappearing as he emerged directly in front of Second Demon Taoist.

This was Yang Xiao’s plan; during the Mirror Ghost’s sneak attack, a small copper mirror was hidden below, a gift from the Rongcheng Chamber of Commerce in the past.

Without hesitation, Yang Xiao ignited the Ghost Lantern in hand while simultaneously swinging his right arm, slashing down at Second Demon Uncle with the long saber.

Yang Xiao timed it perfectly, every movement effortlessly flowing like water; he had already restrained Second Demon Uncle’s two arms, and now was the opening—a moment of certain victory!

The green light within the Ghost Lantern erupted in an instant; Yang Xiao’s spiritual power now far exceeded before, and the green light that exploded this time directly enveloped the nearby Second Demon Taoist.
