Free Web NovelChapter 1580: Chapter 934: Fisherman
As the Curse Blade was slain, this Blood Fertile Soil Illusion Realm shattered along with it. In the blink of an eye, the scene before Nalan Shuo changed completely. He returned to the Secret Realm, standing in place as though he had never left.
The heart crushed in his hand disappeared, with not a trace of blood left on it. That sticky sensation vanished as well, as if everything before had been merely an illusion.
Not far from him, there was a tattered tent, and a figure sitting behind it swayed eerily a few times before collapsing powerlessly backward, along with the Blood Guanyin Statue held tightly in its arms, which also fell to the ground.
The Curse Blade lay on its back, its expression a blend of pain and fear, its pupils showing only the eerie whites, as its life force dissipated completely.
On the other side, the battle between the Chamber of Commerce duo was also nearing its end. Without the interference of the Stone Beast, the Dead Forest was mostly cut down by the all-encompassing sand blades, dealing a nearly destructive blow to the Poison Man and the Half Ghost hiding within it.
The Poison Man, unable to move easily, was hacked to death by the sand blades following a series of attacks, his body lying there in death. The situation for the Half Ghost was also dire, having had an arm sliced off by the sand blades. He had to summon back his ghostly lower half just to barely cling to life.
It could be said that he no longer had the means to fight back and was merely struggling while waiting for death.
However, the state of the Chamber of Commerce duo wasn’t much better. The Chamber of Commerce man had to bear the brunt in order to protect his teammate, Sand Woman, forcibly resisting the counterattack from the Half Ghost and Poison Man in the early stages.
He was located by the Poison Man’s abilities, which revealed his hiding spot, and then was unexpectedly attacked by the Half Ghost, resulting in one of his legs being broken.
What’s worse, he was also poisoned by the Poison Man, leading to both his feet and half of his lower legs being corroded by the poison, becoming bloody and mangled.
If it weren’t for Sand Woman helping to dispel the poison, his body might have rotted away.
In order to defeat the combination of the Poison Man and Half Ghost, he and Sand Woman had exhausted every effort, using all their techniques and bringing out their hidden resources, even consuming the medicine pills given by the Yi Sect. However, this led to severe consequences, as both of them were nearly at the point of complete exhaustion, unable to fight any longer.
If the Poison Man and Half Ghost could have held on for another ten minutes, the defeat would have been theirs, for without the support of spiritual power, they would be only ordinary people, or even less capable than ordinary people.
If they insisted on continuing the fight, the result would be losing control, being backlashed by the Magic Artifact, and becoming Lost Souls and Wild Ghosts driven solely by the instinct to kill.
But a battle is a battle; there are no "if"s. Now that the outcome was clear, they had won. The Half Ghost was also doomed.
"Sand Woman, finish him!" The Chamber of Commerce man, having almost no strength left to fight, roared. Conjuring another Water Substitute was too extravagant for him at this point.
Sand Woman, now seeing red from the battle, hadn’t faced such a troublesome enemy in a long time. This group of Kah Party ninjas was quite formidable.
Internally cursing these bastards fiercely, Sand Woman gritted her teeth and gathered the last black sand blade. This sand blade was many times stronger than before, and several times larger, almost as big as a person. She’d had enough. It was time for this to end!
The backlash she suffered was even more severe than her teammate from the Chamber of Commerce, only she herself knew the extent of it. Her flesh underneath her clothes was riddled with holes from the corrosive sands. This was the price for recklessly depleting her abilities.
The Elixir’s effects from the Yi Sect had worn off, and now they were relying purely on their resolve to endure. The damage caused by this backlash to her body was irreversible. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
In a daze, the image of the lantern in Yang Xiao’s hand appeared in Sand Woman’s mind. She wondered if that lantern could dispel such damage.
If it could, that would be wonderful, and based on her understanding of that boy, if he could do it, he wouldn’t refuse.
But until now, Yang Xiao hadn’t reappeared, and the Japanese Apostle nicknamed "Shadow Spider" hadn’t shown up either.
Sand Woman consoled herself that this was a good thing. One should look on the bright side of things. Although "Shadow Spider" was extremely difficult to deal with, that boy was no pushover either, equipped with so many good Magic Artifacts, anyone would have a headache facing him.
Amongst Apostles of the same level, he should have no opponents. After all, his actual spiritual power was just at the lower level of the Ghost Level, and he still had some way to go to reach the middle of the Ghost Level.
But in terms of combat power, Apostles at the middle of the Ghost Level were no match for him. Even against an Upper Ghost Level Apostle like "Shadow Spider," he could put up a fight, and despite fighting all this time, no clear winner had emerged.
Sand Woman’s logic was simple: Yang Xiao must have brought significant trouble to "Shadow Spider." The two might have even been locked in a fierce struggle; otherwise, "Shadow Spider" would have already dealt with him and emerged to finish off the rest.
The Poison Man and Half Ghost were already this hard to handle. She could hardly imagine what kind of tactics "Shadow Spider," considered the core combat strength of their squad, might have.
Thoughts raced through her mind, but in reality, only a fleeting moment had passed. No longer distracted with worrying about Yang Xiao, Sand Woman focused her concentration. After gathering the final sand blade, she hurled it fiercely towards the limping, fleeing Half Ghost.
The sand blade carried a sandstorm with it, leaving a black trail in midair. Knowing he was doomed, the Half Ghost let out a piercing shriek.
The next second, the sand blade smashed towards the Half Ghost’s head and exploded, stirring up a black sandstorm.
"Hmm?!" Sand Woman seemed to sense something, and couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
