Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1610: Chapter 944: Bro, You’re Too Slow

Considering the recent actions of the Apostles Union, they’ve captured many apostles. Yang Xiao confirmed that Fu Qingzhu’s power surge must have something to do with that Bone Fan.

Back then, the previous owner of the Bone Fan, Qiu Huai De, used the thatched hut inside the Bone Fan to imprison many apostles, extracting their spiritual power for his own use. Fu Qingzhu was one of them.

If it weren’t for Yang Xiao’s timely arrival, Fu Qingzhu would have long since turned to dust.

Fu Qingzhu had once said to Yang Xiao that he could defeat a Peak of Fierce Level apostle within five moves. This would mean his true combat power could at least rival Tong Han, whose foot was halfway to Ghost Level.

One should know, Fu Qingzhu was originally just a low-level apostle not even at mid-level Severe, at most possessing Evil Cultivator Venerable Level power. Such a leap in strength is truly terrifying.

"Did you capture a lot of people and imprison them in that Bone Fan?" Yang Xiao questioned.

Upon hearing this, Fu Qingzhu’s expression turned awkward, smiling unnaturally, "There are some, but... but not many. Don’t worry, I have a plan in mind." freewёbnoνel.com

"What kind of crappy plan do you have? You’re close to being attacked by the backlash, do you know that?" Yang Xiao was worried. If he had known things would turn out this way, he would never have given Fu Qingzhu the Bone Fan, not even if the latter begged on his knees.

"Don’t worry, my good brother. I’m really fine. Right now, I feel great." Fu Qingzhu was speaking the truth, feeling the enhancement in his abilities, a huge sense of satisfaction filled his heart, a confidence that nothing else could give him.

With this Bone Fan, he was the most powerful figure in the Rongcheng Union on the surface, and even the new President might not be his match.

He was not lacking in tactics, his only shortcoming was insufficient raw power. Now, with the Bone Fan, this shortcoming had been remedied.

"Take out that fan!" Yang Xiao demanded coldly.

Upon hearing this, Fu Qingzhu was startled, his eyes instantly became guarded, unconsciously stepping back, "Are you going to take the fan back?"

"What, grown wings, thinking of fighting me?" Yang Xiao wasn’t worried about Fu Qingzhu being hot-headed and getting into a fight with him. Firstly, he knew it wouldn’t happen. Secondly, even if Fu Qingzhu lost his mind, Yang Xiao wasn’t scared.

Fu Qingzhu’s ability to defeat a Peak of Fierce Level was impressive in Rongcheng, but in front of Yang Xiao, it was nothing. Yang Xiao hadn’t engaged in combat with apostles below Ghost Level in a long time; he wasn’t interested in low-level matches.

"My good brother, don’t take the Bone Fan away. I’m relying on it to maintain my current position. If you take it away, you might as well kill me quickly." Fu Qingzhu’s tone carried a hint of pleading.

Originally, Yang Xiao didn’t intend to take away the Bone Fan. After all, forcibly depriving Fu Qingzhu of the Magic Artifact would cause him immeasurable harm, and Yang Xiao couldn’t bring himself to be so ruthless with Fu Qingzhu.

What he wanted was to enter the fan world and see what this kid was up to. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to help him even if he wanted to.

After confirming that Yang Xiao had no intention of taking back the Bone Fan, Fu Qingzhu finally relaxed, taking the Bone Fan from a close position. With a "snap," he opened it and led Yang Xiao into the fan’s world.

Before their eyes, light and shadow shifted, and as they stepped on the ground, an old courtyard appeared. It was square-shaped, surrounded by a low earth-yellow wall, and enveloped in a misty, gray, dim world beyond the walls.

The courtyard wasn’t too large but also not too small, with several houses of various sizes scattered around it.

"President Fu, spare us!"

"President, I was wrong. I won’t dare to oppose you again!"

"Give us one more chance, sir!"

"Boohoo... I know I was wrong, my family is waiting for me to return!"

"Fu Qingzhu, you sinister villain, you’ll die a horrible death!!"

"Ahhh, Fu Qingzhu, once I get out, I’ll definitely kill you!"

...

As Yang Xiao and Fu Qingzhu appeared, the previously quiet courtyard suddenly became noisy, filled with pleas and curses.

Looking towards the sound, the noise came from a thatched hut in the corner of the courtyard. There was a small wooden-barred window, behind which were squeezed a bunch of heads, all staring at them.

This scene felt familiar. These guys were the spirit bodies imprisoned by Fu Qingzhu. Back then, Yang Xiao had found Fu Qingzhu among them.

"All of you, shut up!" With Fu Qingzhu’s loud roar, the Bone Fan’s power was activated. The imprisoned spirit bodies fell to the ground writhing in pain as their spiritual power was being drained.

"You really captured so many people?" After roughly estimating the number in the thatched hut, Yang Xiao was shocked. There were more than 20 people here. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Back then, Qiu Huai De only dared to imprison a little over a dozen people.

One should know, Qiu Huai De was a genuine Ghost Level apostle. He dared to imprison a dozen, yet Fu Qingzhu, who wasn’t even at mid-level Severe, dared to imprison 20 people. This guy is simply mad.

No, it’s more like a death wish! If he continues like this, he won’t survive a year!

No external force is needed to kill him; he’ll play himself to death. The Bone Fan’s backlash is something he can’t bear.

Not long ago, Yang Xiao himself had just endured the backlash of the Soul-Capturing Mirror. No one was more qualified to speak on the matter than him. If it weren’t for the Ghost Bamboo Stick, the Esoteric Elixir, and the treatment from the Yi Sect, he would now be a half-human half-ghost existence.

The backlash of space-type magical artifacts is terrifying beyond measure!

"Listen to me and release the people inside; otherwise, you won’t survive a year!" Yang Xiao demanded.
