Nightmare Apostle Chapter 1826 - 1044:

He had only seen a similar ability on the Yang Clan Elder of the Ru Lin Academy.

But who was that? The head of the San Shang Bookstore, the renowned master of Yun Qi City in the world of martial arts. Yang Xiao never expected such a formidable magic artifact to be hidden on this woman. At that mont, he only regretted that the woman wasn’t an evil cultivator.

Using the ability to restart ti, Qian Xun Wang escaped an almost certain death.

But Yang Xiao knew that the greater the power of the magic artifact, the more terrifying the backlash after its use. This was evident from how Qian Xun Wang preferred to endure the scratches from the Corpse Spot Puppet rather than use that watch.

At the mont, Qian Xun Wang’s arm still bore the scratch marks, and nearby disgusting corpse spots were appearing, with a tendency to spread.

"You go deal with the Corpse Spot Puppet, I’ll take care of this one!" Yang Xiao decisively chose to confront the Sack Puppet, as it was clearly the more troubleso foe.

Yang Xiao had sensed that Qian Xun Wang was not in a good state; the spiritual power fluctuations around her were highly unstable, a price of utilizing the watch’s ability.

If it happened again, Yang Xiao judged that even if Qian Xun Wang wasn’t imdiately affected by backlash, the consequences would be dire. Her current strength made using that magic artifact too much of a stretch.

Actually, it wasn’t just her; Yang Xiao was the sa. However, he had a good elder sister who bore the backlash of various high-rank magic artifacts for him. As a result, he needed to endure the multiplied backlash from the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes.

Besides, the Nightmare World sought him out much more frequently.

He would receive at least three to four Ghost Scripts a year, which, in the eyes of other Angel Envoys, was akin to suicide.

Still, thanks to his natural wit and exceptional intelligence, surpassing Zhuge and more handso than Pan An, he survived purely by his own effort.

Truly confronting the Sack Puppet, Yang Xiao realized it was far more troubleso than imagined. It would suddenly erge from the mist, darting towards him or the Mirror Ghost with great speed, and if a strike missed, it would imdiately retreat back into the mist.

Although holding the Human Bone Staff, Yang Xiao could roughly sense the Sack Puppet’s traces, allowing him and the Mirror Ghost to preemptively avoid attacks. However, completely resolving it was difficult.

More troubleso was that as the mist thickened, the perception of the Human Bone Staff was also diminishing, leaving Yang Xiao with increasingly shorter warning tis.

If this kept up, sooner or later, the Sack Puppet would snatch him with its sack.

And after one puppet was taken down, the strength of the remaining two increased, especially the Sack Puppet tangling with Yang Xiao, whose spiritual power intensity had reached the peak of Ghost Level.

Yang Xiao realized this Sack Ghost inhabiting the puppet was the Core Ghost on the Ninja Team General. If the ability of the Ghost Fog to return attack for attack was the strongest defensive capability, then this Sack Ghost was the strongest offensive ans.

He was at least eighty percent sure that similar puppets were all refined by the Sack Ghost. Angel Envoys captured by the Sack Ghost would eventually be turned into mindless zombies.

"We can’t keep expending like this; it must be a quick battle!" Yang Xiao decided decisively. Although temporarily safe, he worried that Qian Xun Wang couldn’t hold on much longer.

No longer hesitating, Yang Xiao decided to risk it, but not himself. He glanced sideways at the Mirror Ghost beside him, deciding to face familial loyalty with righteousness.

As the Sack Puppet charged out again, Yang Xiao promptly summoned the Mirror Ghost to replace his position, and the result was obvious: the Mirror Ghost was heavily knocked away by the Sack Puppet and instantly stuffed into the sack upon landing.

Sure enough, Yang Xiao’s guess was correct. As soon as the Sack Puppet bagged a "person," it needed to use a large amount of spiritual power to suppress the being inside, significantly reducing its speed and strength.

This gave Yang Xiao an opportunity. He summoned the Ghost Lantern, casting a green light that directly immobilized the Sack Puppet.

Taking advantage of the mont the mist was dispelled by the green light, Yang Xiao forcibly activated the Soul-Capturing Mirror, appearing behind the puppet in an instant and striking down with the staff.

The Sack Puppet wanted to resist the attack with the sack, but unexpectedly, Yang Xiao showed no leniency to the Mirror Ghost inside the sack.

The tattered sack was flung away, along with the sudden collapse of the Sack Puppet’s two arms. Yang Xiao, pressing his advantage, switched from striking to stabbing, thrusting the staff through the puppet’s chest, gutting it.

As the Sack Puppet fell, the sack restraining the Mirror Ghost vanished into the mist, and the Mirror Ghost returned to Yang Xiao’s side.

anwhile, Qian Xun Wang also beca ruthless. She deliberately left an opening, enduring the Corpse Spot Puppet’s scratch on her left arm, and counterattacked with a hairpin, piercing the puppet’s head and cutting it down.

When Yang Xiao reached Qian Xun Wang’s side, she could barely stand. Her left arm was covered with nauseating corpse spots, the wound festering at a visibly fast pace, emitting a stench.

Fierceness in her eyes, Qian Xun Wang drew a short knife to cut off her left arm, only to be stopped by Yang Xiao in the nick of ti, "Are you crazy?!"

"Don’t stop , once the corpse spots fully spread, all I can do is wait for death!" Qian Xun Wang growled through gritted teeth.

She too faced unspeakable hardship. Originally, the watch had the ability to rewind ti, allowing her to return to before she was injured. She could risk it again. But it wouldn’t work, because the watch’s ability was area reboot; once she returned to before her injury, the Corpse Spot Puppet she had just slain would also revive.
