"This is fake, the real one must be hidden!"
If anyone else encountered this situation, they would definitely be confused. But as Yang Xiao expanded his search area, he quickly found the concealed Qiu Huai De in the largest green tile house in the courtyard.
What startled Yang Xiao was that in the short minute he hadn’t seen him, Qiu Huai De’s spiritual power surged dramatically, now far exceeding the You Level Middle, nearing the Upper Ghost Level, almost matching Bo Yetong of the past.
What’s more terrifying is that this montum is still continuously growing.
At this mont, Qiu Huai De’s eyes bulged outward, with blood vessels and veins exposed on his face, looking incredibly scary, as if he was possessed.
Yang Xiao imdiately understood the most terrifying ability of that Bone Fan—it could extract the spiritual power of imprisoned spirit bodies to feed the Bone Fan’s owner.
However, this ability must co with extrely strong aftereffects, belonging to a life-exchanging sinister trick.
As soon as he thought of this, Yang Xiao threw out the Ghost Lantern, and the next second, the Hexagonal Cage descended, imdiately cutting off Qiu Huai De’s source of spiritual power.
But at this mont, the nurous imprisoned spirit bodies, including Fu Qingzhu, were already barely holding onto life, unable even to stand.
"You must die!!"
As the Hexagonal Cage disappeared, Qiu Huai De, now devoid of reason, erged from the room drenched in blood, swinging his long sword at Yang Xiao.
The Hexagonal Cage was removed by Yang Xiao voluntarily. His goal was to interrupt Qiu Huai De from draining the spirit bodies, after all, this cage had no offensive power and consud a massive amount of spiritual power to maintain.
With Yang Xiao’s current remaining spiritual power, he couldn’t sustain it for long, and once his spiritual power ran out, he would be dood.
Without the instant teleportation power of the Soul-Capturing Mirror, in this already small courtyard, he simply couldn’t dodge Qiu Huai De’s attacks, and this ti the thunder power on that sword was more than double its previous strength.
Although activating the Ghost Sleeve Robe’s ability twice in a short period was extrely risky, Yang Xiao had no choice.
In this artifact clash, Yang Xiao’s Ghost Bamboo Stick was directly knocked away, the Ghost Sleeve Robe ability activated, but even so, because he was too close, Yang Xiao was also affected by part of the thunder power, and was slashed in the chest by the now irrational Qiu Huai De.
To call it a slash is actually more reasonable to say it was a smash, as the Drama Robe blocked this sword for him, but the imnse force still sent him flying.
Upon landing, Yang Xiao spat out blood. Without the Human Bone Staff and Soul-Capturing Mirror to maneuver with, and with no help from the Mirror Ghost, fighting an opponent two levels higher by himself was too strenuous, especially having to consider Fu Qingzhu—it was really frustrating.
If he could go all out, the battle would’ve ended when he first summoned the Human Bone Staff.
But saying this now is aningless; now Qiu Huai De was scorched all over by the electricity, half of his face was burned, yet he was still brutally violent.
Yang Xiao forced himself to stand up, summoned the Ring-Headed Saber, held it horizontally, to block in front of him.
In the eyes of the nearly mindless Qiu Huai De, who was left only with the instinct to kill, this scene appeared extrely provocative.
He raised his long sword, roaring like a beast attacking Yang Xiao, while Yang Xiao seed ntally drained, face pale, retreating step by step.
It seed he was trying to avoid the opponent’s edge, but his blade was always aid at Qiu Huai De, in a rather strange posture.
Ten steps.
Seven steps.
Five steps...
Yang Xiao silently calculated the distance in his mind, until Qiu Huai De reached three steps away, when the long sword in his hand aid at Yang Xiao’s head and chopped down.
A terrifying scene unfolded; without Yang Xiao making any defensive moves, Qiu Huai De’s upper body suddenly broke, falling to the ground, while the lower body staggered a few more steps, nearly crashing into Yang Xiao.
His internal organs and intestines scattered everywhere, while the broken point on his body was extrely neat, as if sliced cleanly by a sharp blade.
As the vitality in Qiu Huai De’s eyes dissipated visibly, the fan world he maintained with his spiritual power quickly collapsed.
Yang Xiao had no ti to rest and imdiately ran to the thatched hut that imprisoned Fu Qingzhu and others.
At this ti, the ground shook, the thatched hut beca blurry and illusory, and the many silhouettes inside scread and shouted in panic and pain.
Seeing his good brother Fu Qingzhu lying on the ground, eyes vacant, body convulsing from extre pain, Yang Xiao’s heart ached.
He didn’t want to kill Qiu Huai De, but he had no choice, caught between life and death, otherwise it would be him that ended up dead.
Now that Qiu Huai De was dead, Fu Qingzhu and the others imprisoned with him would be buried along.
At the last mont, Fu Qingzhu seed to regain so consciousness, his eyes gradually moving until he t Yang Xiao’s gaze outside the window.
In that instant they locked eyes, that face filled with pain suddenly beca much calr.
His lips were trembling constantly, unable to utter any sound, but Yang Xiao knew, this was his farewell.
"I’m sorry..." Yang Xiao didn’t know what he could do anymore, he felt helpless for the first ti.
He had planned ticulously, with support from Sui Chengguo and assistance from Ming Yue, but still fell short.
Fu Qingzhu’s gaze bore no bla, and even carried a trace of comfort.
Yang Xiao’s mind raced rapidly, trying to find a way to save him, but all of it faded away as Fu Qingzhu’s body beca transparent.
Perhaps because this world could no longer be sustained, the Mirror Ghost had already appeared behind Yang Xiao.
Seemingly sensing Yang Xiao’s intense determination to save lives, the Mirror Ghost surprisingly snatched the Ghost Lantern hanging on Yang Xiao’s back, and the next mont, the Green Light Cage erged, enveloping Fu Qingzhu who was almost fully translucent.
At the sa ti, Yang Xiao’s eyes lit up because he noticed that Fu Qingzhu, trapped in the cage, was no longer fading away, whereas the other spirit bodies around him had almost completely disappeared.
That’s not all, as Yang Xiao injected spiritual power into the Ghost Lantern, Fu Qingzhu’s illusory body began to fill up gradually, returning to a physical state.
"That’s it!!" Yang Xiao took back the Ghost Lantern from the Mirror Ghost, careful not to fill it with too much spiritual power, fearing he might overwhelm Fu Qingzhu given that his power intensity far exceeded his.
With a little cautious maintenance, Fu Qingzhu visibly recovered and eventually got up, curiously looking outside.
Yang Xiao knew that those caught inside the Green Light Cage couldn’t see outside, surely Fu Qingzhu now had a head full of confusion, not knowing what’s happening.
But Yang Xiao didn’t mind, he understood that Fu Qingzhu was essentially saved, as the original fan world had completely collapsed, the courtyard vanished, and those imprisoned spirit bodies turned to void.
Now he found himself back in his Mirror World, and what he needed to do next was to get Fu Qingzhu out, using the Ghost Lantern, and send him to the hospital to reunite with his physical body.
Although Yang Xiaoi had done such things before, he had a vague feeling that it wouldn’t be difficult for him.
To be precise, it wouldn’t be difficult for this lantern.
"Dean Sheng wasn’t wrong, this lantern is indeed a miraculous object!!"
