Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 733: Chapter 561: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons_3

Yang Xiao took in the scene, his expression unreadable, yet his heart had already churned with shock and awe. There was no mistake, the Old Clan Leader definitely had a problem!

He wasn’t human, he was a Ghost!!

But Yang Xiao was now caught between a rock and a hard place; there was a ghost in the room, and a Door-blocking Ghost outside the door. Either way, it meant certain death.

As his observations grew deeper, Yang Xiao gradually figured out the ghost masquerading as the Old Clan Leader’s method of killing. It was the lantern. The faint glimmer of light within the lantern seemed to possess a magic power. Instead of projecting his shadow behind him, it stretched his shadow towards the lantern. Yang Xiao was certain that the moment his shadow was pulled to the feet of the Old Clan Leader, or sucked into the lantern, death would be upon him.

"What are you thinking about?" The Old Clan Leader seemed to notice something, stepping forward and drawing closer to Yang Xiao, staring at him with dead eyes, "Are you still thinking about escaping now? Let me tell you, that would be a death wish. The ghost outside the door hasn’t left yet."

Yang Xiao remained unmoved, his face betraying no flaws, but he had already come up with an idea. He had spotted the ghost’s biggest weakness.

What was restricting him now was the ghost blocking the door outside. However, based on past experiences, the inside and outside of the door were completely different worlds. In other words, standing inside, it was absolutely impossible to see what was happening outside, let alone see a ghost standing there.

So... this was an illusion, a trap set by the ghost inside the room, wanting to keep him there.

Having understood all this, Yang Xiao felt much bolder. He could be certain that there was no ghost outside the door, and the ghost disguised as the Old Clan Leader was merely of peculiar abilities, but not very strong. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have to put so much effort into dealing with him.

"Old Clan Leader, you’re right," Yang Xiao showed a defeated expression, "The situation in the hallway is complicated, so our best choice is to stand by."

"The child can be taught," the Old Clan Leader slowly nodded.

The next second, Yang Xiao took out the Ghost Lantern, which was unlit and had no spiritual power infused into it, "Old Clan Leader, it’s strange to say. This Ghost Tomb seems to limit the effect of lantern-like Magic Artifacts. My lantern doesn’t light up either. Could you help me take a look?"

The Old Clan Leader hesitated for a moment, then still nodded, "Pass it to me to have a look." freёwebnoѵel.com

Yang Xiao, holding the lantern, gradually brought it closer to the Old Clan Leader’s face. The Old Clan Leader also bent down, looking very carefully.

"Old Clan Leader, do you see any problems?" Yang Xiao asked.

"Don’t rush; let me look a bit more." The corners of the Old Clan Leader’s mouth curled up, barely able to suppress the smile, since, by this time, Yang Xiao’s shadow had already been stretched longer and longer, and was about to be stepped on by him.

"Then get a bit closer," Yang Xiao said with a sincerely inquiring demeanor.

"Alright, I’ll take a good look for you," the Old Clan Leader moved closer and closer until his face was practically pressed against the Ghost Lantern.

"Did you notice anything?" Yang Xiao asked, smiling.

"Um... It seems... there don’t seem to be any problems," the Old Clan Leader didn’t know if he truly didn’t see anything or if he was delaying time. But none of that mattered now, after all, Yang Xiao had achieved his goal. freewёbnoνel.com

The next second, Yang Xiao suddenly turned his head and closed his eyes tightly. As he infused the long-accumulated spiritual power into it, the lantern flared up with a burst of flame. In an instant, the piercing green light lit up the entire room and blinded the Old Clan Leader’s eyes.

At this moment, the "Old Clan Leader" finally revealed its true form; it was actually a Faceless Ghost, scorched by the green light of the Ghost Lantern. Its putty-like face instantly sprouted countless blood blisters, creating a scene both terrifying and disgusting.

Having landed a successful hit, Yang Xiao whipped out the Ghost Duster with a backhand, and after a brief build-up of force, slapped it across the Faceless Ghost’s face, sending it flying out, flesh tearing apart, with most of its facial skin peeling away to reveal the ghastly white skull beneath. The next second, Yang Xiao turned and rushed out of the room.
