On the other side, the Trickster and the Butterfly Lady also made their moves. The Trickster targeted the master from the Withered Bone Pavilion who was at the mid-stage Ghost Level, while the one at the lower Ghost Level was left to the Butterfly Lady to handle.
As for Chen Nang, he was designated by Yang Xiao as the free agent. The few Fierce Level Apostles weren’t his match, but with their superior numbers and coordinated efforts, it wasn’t easy for Chen Nang to eliminate them all without revealing his trump card.
Chen Nang understood why Yang Xiao would deploy such great talent for such a small task against these Fierce Level Apostles.
Handling these small fry was a trivial matter; his real task was to keep a close watch on his teammates. If anyone switched sides during the battle, he would swiftly act to eliminate them.
Unlike the others present, Chen Nang had fought against Yang Xiao before and knew exactly how strong he was. Facing Yang Xiao, rebellion didn’t even cross his mind. Moreover, even if he did kill Yang Xiao, where could he possibly flee to?
The world might be vast, but offending both the Patrol Defense Office and the Chamber of Commerce would narrow his path considerably, leaving almost no proper factions willing to take him in. They’d find it more worthwhile to capture him and hand him over.
Chen Nang had his own thoughts as well. He knew Yang Xiao held a special status within the Patrol Defense Office. If he could rely on this powerful figure in the future, it might just secure a promising future for him. As long as the Patrol Defense Office was willing to mediate, the Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t persistently pursue the issue of his past killing.
To be honest, he felt somewhat wronged about the incident back then. His intentions were good, but who would have thought the Chamber of Commerce people would hide in such a godforsaken little village?
Meanwhile, Yang Xiao also faced off against the Bone and Flesh Immortal. Noticing Yang Xiao didn’t make the first move, the Bone and Flesh Immortal held back as well, leaving the two in a temporary stalemate.
Through feedback from the Human Bone Staff, Yang Xiao roughly gauged this guy’s strength. He was undeniably at the Upper Ghost Level, and a skilled one among Upper Ghost Level Apostles, with spiritual strength second only to the Ku Daoist and the Funeral Bodhisattva, making him a clear third.
"Who are you, state your name?" The Blood Flesh Immortal squeezed his small eyes between the folds of flesh, staring fiercely at Yang Xiao as if trying to see through the mask on his face.
"Yu Yuan Sect, Nether Emperor, Ye Xiao." Yang Xiao maneuvered while searching for this guy’s weaknesses.
To Yang Xiao, this guy was full of weaknesses, but the more it seemed so, the more vigilant he became. This guy didn’t seem easy to deal with. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Upon hearing Yang Xiao report his name, the Blood Flesh Immortal burst into laughter, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, "Yu Yuan Sect, great, splendid! In the past, your Head of the Wounded Door chased me for three whole days and nights. I thought with his death, my grudge would never be settled. Today, I shall take this opportunity to strike you down!"
"Hand over your flesh and blood, let me savor the taste of the Yu Yuan Sect’s Nether Emperor!" The Blood Flesh Immortal stomped the ground, his whole body bouncing like a ball as he leaped toward Yang Xiao.
Following his usual routine, Yang Xiao initiated with an assault from the Human Bone Staff. At his level, it was challenging to use the Human Bone Staff to kill from a distance, and it was mainly to test the opponent and perceive their state more clearly from bodily impact.
Unlike previous encounters, this guy didn’t evade the Human Bone Staff’s attack, letting it hit straight on.
Yet the next second, Yang Xiao was briefly stunned, as the intangible attack vanished into thin air without causing the Blood Flesh Immortal any hindrance, as if swallowed by some force.
"Spiritual attack?" The Blood Flesh Immortal hopped closer, his small eyes locking onto Yang Xiao, eyes filled with barely suppressed greed, "You actually possess a spiritual magic artifact?!"
The Human Bone Staff’s attack was neutralized, a familiar scene flashed in his mind. Yang Xiao had faced a similar situation once before when battling the Magic Sect’s Vajra. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
That guy had a pendant that absorbed spiritual damage, and this situation was very similar. Yang Xiao hadn’t expected the Bone and Flesh Immortal to possess such a valuable item as well.
Last time, he had fainted in the final moment and didn’t get the pendant. This time, he couldn’t miss the opportunity. He must acquire a magical artifact that defends against spiritual attacks.
He couldn’t use it now because his rank wasn’t high enough. Elder Sheng had once advised him that when he reached the Half-step Nether Realm, or truly entered the Netherworld Realm, he would realize that these guys genuinely had a collection of excellent magic artifacts, with top-level powerhouses even using spiritual magic artifacts to kill invisibly.
For instance, Elder Sheng himself, using the Wisdom Staff he recently obtained from the Esoteric Sect, could easily exile a Ghost-level Apostle for ten years.
Even at that time, he wasn’t fully restored to his peak state and found it tough dealing with a master like Yang Yunluo.
The Blood Flesh Immortal, bouncing like a meatball, was fierce in his approach. When about ten meters from Yang Xiao, he suddenly seemed choked, raised his head, making a "guh-guh" sound, while blue veins bulged on his forehead and his eyes popped out of their sockets, looking extremely horrifying.
"Guh~~tui!" The next second, the Blood Flesh Immortal spat at Yang Xiao.
The speed was incredibly fast, with a whizzing sound. Yang Xiao immediately drew his sword to block, perfectly deflecting it with the blade, but his face turned green from disgust as he saw a piece of rotten flesh with yellow mucus stuck to the blade that was once gleaming bright.
This is just too disgusting!
"Guh~~tui!"
"Guh~~tui!"
After the first spit missed, the Blood Flesh Immortal spat two more globs of sticky phlegm. Yang Xiao dodged the first elegantly, but had to block the second with his sword again.
