Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1570: Chapter 930: Mysterious Person 4

This move was originally used by the woman from the Chamber of Commerce to deal with Yang Xiao’s Soul-Capturing Mirror, but this time it was ineffective because the Poison Man also stepped in.

He "spat" poison onto his teammate, the Stone Beast. The poison seeped into the cracks of the armor, quickly eliminating the poisonous sand.

That’s not all. Covered in a layer of poison, the already indestructible Stone Beast was now even more fierce, becoming a true "Poison Man" as it charged toward the center of the Black Sandstorm with the added power.

The Half Ghost used threads to suspend the Poison Man, and the two temporarily withdrew from the battlefield, turning to escape deeper into the Dead Forest.

They were also waiting for an opportunity. Once the Stone Beast, in coordination with the lower half of the Half Ghost, broke through the Black Sandstorm, it would be the call for a counterattack.

In addition, the poison from the Poison Man was still effective, damaging parts of the Water Domain. Finding the true body of the Chamber of Commerce man was no longer far away.

Now the Chamber of Commerce woman was in a dilemma. The Stone Beast was approaching step by step, and she could easily bury it with a sandstorm as she did with Yang Xiao’s Soul-Capturing Mirror.

But that wouldn’t work, because doing so would release the pressure on the Poison Man and Half Ghost, and the excellent situation could be overturned.

She was confident that if she could hold on for a few more minutes, she could take down the Poison Man and Half Ghost in one go with her teammates’ help.

The principle of "better to break one finger than hurt all ten" was something she understood.

She understood it, and so did Yang Xiao, which is why another figure appeared on the battlefield, holding off the Stone Beast’s attack while intercepting it.

"Leave it to me, you keep going!" Yang Xiao loudly reminded his teammates, while staying alert for a possible sneak attack by the Japanese Woman, not even moving his gaze away.

Sure enough, after the Soul-Capturing Mirror joined the battle, the situation was immediately brought under control, allowing the Chamber of Commerce duo to concentrate their efforts on attacking the Dead Forest.

If the battle between the Chamber of Commerce duo and the Poison Man Half Ghost was a duel of magical artifacts, then the fight between the Soul-Capturing Mirror and the Stone Beast was pure hand-to-hand combat. The Stone Beast, relying on its thick skin, wasn’t intimidated by the Soul-Capturing Mirror, raising its fists the size of pots to strike, and its fists equipped with spiked Finger Tigers, which were also magical artifacts.

Facing the aggressive Stone Beast, the Soul-Capturing Mirror also didn’t back down, swinging a Ghost Chef’s Knife to slash, each delivering punch for punch, knife for knife, neither dodging, just standing there slugging it out, with sparks flying off the armor when the knife struck it.

A piece of stone shell on the Stone Beast’s face was chopped off by the knife, causing it to let out a beast-like roar of pain and simultaneously mutter a string of indistinct Japanese.

Neither the Soul-Capturing Mirror nor Yang Xiao understood, but if the educated Jiang Qingluan were nearby, she could tell that the Stone Beast was cursing about who would be the coward to dodge.

Originally, seeing the Poison Man and Half Ghost being suppressed didn’t worry the Japanese Woman, but watching the Stone Beast and Soul-Capturing Mirror engaging in a bloodied melee did start to make her anxious.

After all, she could tell that the other guy wasn’t human, but a puppet, so trading one teammate for a puppet in a bloody exchange was downright absurd.

At this moment, she also speculated about Yang Xiao’s identity, believing he must be the direct descendant of a prominent family; otherwise, he couldn’t possibly possess such treasures.

Not to mention his spiritual magical artifacts and space-type magical artifacts, a puppet of such high mid-stage Ghost Level could sell for an astronomical price. Such high-level puppets capable of using magical artifacts were fundamentally different from the cheap products created by the Poison Man.

Unfortunately, among all the people present, the Stone Beast was the only one who couldn’t recognize that it was a puppet, simply because it had no brains. The weapon’s backlash had left its intelligence far below that of a normal adult, and the greater the spiritual power consumed, the faster its intelligence dropped.

Now, in its current frenzy state, the Stone Beast’s intelligence couldn’t surpass that of a five-year-old.

And it could still decrease further.

Soon, the battle between the Stone Beast and the Soul-Capturing Mirror escalated from a single punch and knife to an unrestricted fight. The Stone Beast swung its arms, sturdy like tree trunks, and launched into Turtle Fist, while the Soul-Capturing Mirror, showcasing the excellent traditions of its master Yang Xiao, shielded its head while fiercely attacking the Stone Beast’s lower body.

To be honest, this fight was really embarrassing to watch. Yang Xiao never expected that two opponents of mid-stage Ghost Level and above would fight like this.

Moreover, up to this point, neither could break the other’s defense to inflict severe damage.

Both the Stone Beast and the Soul-Capturing Mirror were roles maxed out on defense, with slightly weaker attack capabilities.

Yang Xiao estimated preliminarily that it would take at least another 10 minutes of slugging to determine a winner.

Finally, someone lost their patience, and the Human Bone Staff sensed it. The moment the Japanese Woman made a move, Yang Xiao took action as well.

He deployed a space wrinkle, targeting the Soul-Capturing Mirror, but not to kill it, rather to partition the battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Xiao appeared by a puddle not far behind the Japanese Woman, swinging the Human Bone Staff as he leaped into action, just as the Japanese Woman drew a short knife from behind to forcibly block Yang Xiao’s strike.

At the moment the weapons collided, the Japanese Woman felt a substantial depletion of the spiritual power attached to her short knife, and her own spirit wavered.

This strike had been brewing for a long time by Yang Xiao, with the timing and angle well-calculated, but just as he gained the upper hand, a sudden change caught him off guard.

Through the Human Bone Staff, he unintentionally sensed the presence of another aura, realizing that there was still someone else on this battlefield! ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

That person had been hiding nearby, yet unseen.

Yang Xiao instinctively thought of the corpse he had discovered earlier, the body of a One-character Sect expert, with its chest pierced and heart shattered.

"Be careful, there’s someone else nearby!" Yang Xiao shouted as he distanced himself using the Soul-Capturing Mirror.
