Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1568: Chapter 930: The Mysterious Figure (Part 2)

This is also a rather impressive magic artifact, stronger than the Soul-Capturing Mirror in its capacity for direct attack. However, the experienced Yang Xiao has also slowly analyzed its shortcomings. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Firstly, the space distortion attack of this artifact has a delay. Although it’s very short, for Yang Xiao, who possesses both the Soul-Capturing Mirror and the Human Bone Staff, it’s not hard to detect, and he can escape within that brief window.

Secondly, although this is indeed a space-type magical artifact, it seems that the woman cannot stay long in the space created by it. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Moreover, that space is very unstable. Yang Xiao easily used the Human Bone Staff to "drag" the hidden Japanese woman out.

Facing this woman, Yang Xiao dared not relax for a moment. He knew her abilities were far beyond this, as so far, she had only revealed the power of one artifact.

For an elite ninja like her, Yang Xiao surmised that she must carry at least one or two more magical artifacts, each capable of turning the tide of battle.

Before their arrival, members of the Yi Sect had warned them that using an illusion-breaking magical artifact against this woman would be the best choice. However, up till now, Yang Xiao hadn’t seen her display any illusions.

Still, while the woman had her secrets, so did Yang Xiao. He had only used perhaps twenty to thirty percent of his righteous magical artifacts. If it came down to a contest of artifacts, probably the only one in the world of martial arts who could rival him would be the leader of the Black Lama, the Spirit Treasure Master.

In short, this woman was tricky, but not an invincible foe for him.

At the same time, the others’ battles also quickly commenced. When the Source Ghost appeared, there were restrictions on using spiritual power, but now such concerns were absent.

The Chamber of Commerce’s duo had pre-emptively taken the elixir gifted by the Yi Sect, ready to fight to the death, while Yang Xiao and Nalan Shuo refrained. Jiang Qingluan couldn’t due to her physical condition, while Yang Xiao and Nalan Shuo believed it wasn’t yet a desperate situation, choosing to play it safe.

After all, the medicine had side effects. If taken for more than half an hour, it would rebound, significantly weakening their strength; it was a double-edged sword.

Everything was proceeding as planned. The Chamber of Commerce woman faced off against the Poison Man, both experts in using poison, and the battle immediately escalated into a fever pitch.

The Poison Man quickly manipulated the Poison Puppet to charge towards the crowd, intending to detonate it among them for maximum damage. But the Chamber of Commerce woman seized the moment to envelop the Poison Puppet in a sandstorm and threw it back at the Poison Man just before it exploded.

With cumbersome gear impeding his movements, the Poison Man couldn’t dodge in time and was blown away by the explosion’s shockwave.

The battle between the Chamber of Commerce man and the Half Ghost also ignited instantly. The Japanese Apostle, nicknamed "Half Ghost," had his upper and lower bodies separated, with the upper half hanging in the trees while the bare-foot lower half charged at the Chamber of Commerce man with an eerie gait.

His steps appeared unsteady, but were in fact incredibly fast, reaching the Chamber of Commerce man in just a few blinks, followed by a stomp.

The blue-purple corpse-like foot, wrapped in black sludge and seemingly withered, unexpectedly stomped a hole into the stomach of the Chamber of Commerce man who "couldn’t dodge in time."

In the next second, to the shock of the Half Ghost, the figure standing in a small puddle turned into a splash of water.

Simultaneously, the Chamber of Commerce man’s ability activated. The small puddle rapidly expanded, its domain swiftly covering the entire battlefield.

Interestingly, it uniquely avoided the Japanese woman and the captain "Curse Blade."

These two were not his targets, and diverting attention to them would be counterproductive; such specialized tasks should be left to the specialists.

He could discern that the two chosen by the Yi Sect had significant backgrounds; Yang Xiao’s abilities countered the Japanese woman, while Nalan Shuo’s golden dragon scales rendered him elusive, potentially proving effective against the Curse Blade with its "cursed" magical artifacts.

Following his intentions, under the Chamber of Commerce man’s control, two water substitutes emerged without warning, one before the other, attacking the Half Ghost’s upper half hanging in the tree.

The lower half of the Half Ghost was still nearby searching for the Chamber of Commerce man’s true form and couldn’t assist in time, which was precisely the man’s strategy: draw out the ghostly lower half, then ambush the human upper half.

The two water substitutes, front and back, almost sealed off all escape routes, especially since the upper half was already inconvenient to move, presenting an almost certain death scenario.

But what happened next left him astonished: the upper half hanging in the tree completely disregarded his attack, making no move, and his two water substitutes inexplicably shattered in midair, finally spilling into a puddle.

Not only that, the remaining upper half gestured towards his teammate the Poison Man with a strange motion, then performed a pulling action, causing the immobile Poison Man to levitate and land beside the tree where the Half Ghost’s upper half was hanging.

The two Japanese Apostles had reunited.

"It’s threads!" the Chamber of Commerce woman shouted insightfully, "That guy’s second ability is threads. The trees are all covered in spider-like threads, and your substitutes were sliced apart by those invisible threads!"

One sentence awakened them from their dreams; the intelligence from the Yi Sect only mentioned the Half Ghost’s stomping ability without any word of these sharp threads.
