Chapter 1573: Chapter 931: This Is Just Too Unbelievable (2)
"There’s a way!"
A few seconds later, Yang Xiao noticed that the feeling of being restricted had weakened a lot. As long as he had enough time, he could completely deal with the ninja blade’s ability.
But the opponent clearly wouldn’t give him that chance. Vaguely, Yang Xiao sensed spiritual power reacting nearby; that guy was coming again.
Switching the Ring-Headed Saber for the Human Bone Staff, he charged it simply before smashing toward the sensed direction, and the aura quickly disappeared.
Originally, he didn’t expect to hurt the opponent; Yang Xiao was buying time for himself, and he had some guesses about that thing.
It wasn’t a person; it was a ghost, and the Japanese Woman could control that ghost, using her magic artifact to fight, even if this ghost was injured, it wouldn’t die.
This scene reminded Yang Xiao of a past event; at Mirror Bottle Incense, he was caught in a supernatural incident, code-named Ghost Phone. After dealing with that event, he obtained the Resentful Eye, which was an old-fashioned telephone.
According to the Patrol Defense Office’s intelligence, this telephone came from the Japan, and it had once sparked a high-level supernatural incident on the island, causing significant casualties.
Moreover, by coincidence, the mastermind behind the Mirror Bottle Village’s Ghost Phone incident was here now.
"Alright, if you want to play, I’ll play with you!" Yang Xiao decisively activated the Soul-Capturing Mirror’s ability, disappearing on the spot and hiding in the Mirror World.
Before long, within the Japanese Woman’s illusion, a shrill telephone ringing sounded, and then, a terrifying-faced Japanese Female Ghost appeared, barefoot, dressed in a chaotic floral kimono, holding a Ghost Lantern in her left hand, and tightly gripping a Human Bone Staff in her right hand.
Obviously, controlling the Japanese Female Ghost was Yang Xiao; he used the method of "activating" the Human Skin Mask to "activate" the Ghost Phone, summoning the Japanese Female Ghost.
Borrowing this body, Yang Xiao no longer feared physical harm; now both of them were ghosts, back on the same level again.
Yang Xiao didn’t want to and couldn’t delay, after all, his magical artifacts were consuming spiritual power, and he couldn’t hold out for long.
But he wasn’t afraid either; he still had a backup plan unused; he still carried several types of elixirs, although he disdained the ones given by the Yi Sect, he had fine goods from the Esoteric Sect.
If it really came to a desperate stage, he would pop the pills randomly. Initially, he planned to reserve them for that mysterious person outside, but under the current circumstances, he couldn’t afford to hide them.
Through the confrontation with that ghost, Yang Xiao also confirmed that the thing was indeed controlled by the Japanese Woman, which meant the woman’s true body was hidden within the illusion. His priority was to find the real body’s position, second was to deadlock with this ghost; he firmly believed this ghost absolutely couldn’t hold out for long.
The Ghost Phone’s original ability was positioning, coupled with the Human Bone Staff, in the Female Ghost state, Yang Xiao quickly found that ghost in the illusion.
Upon discovering "Yang Xiao", the opponent was noticeably stunned, which further confirmed Yang Xiao’s guess that this guy was being controlled by the Japanese Woman.
Physical attacks wouldn’t work against such things; Yang Xiao directly swung the Human Bone Staff rushing forward; not only did long-range attacks consume too much energy, but their effect wasn’t good either, close combat was better. Anyway, he wasn’t afraid of death now; injuries wouldn’t hurt, at most he would suffer when going out.
This time, Yang Xiao was all in; at the meeting he detonated the Ghost Lantern, as the glaring green light burned and covered the "Japanese Woman", removing its disguise and revealing a severely rotted ghost face.
This was the ghost’s true body; it would automatically take on the controller’s appearance.
After suppressing this ghost, Yang Xiao immediately threw out the Ghost Bell; the next second, the ninja blade in the Shadow Ghost controlled by the woman became invalid. "Yang Xiao" rushed towards the Shadow Ghost, ferociously smashing its head with the Human Bone Staff, letting the ninja blade pierce his own body.
This level of damage was completely negligible to him; the artifact now wasn’t regarded as magical anymore, just an ordinary dagger.
However, the Shadow Ghost, suffering blows from the Human Bone Staff, couldn’t take it, this hit left it dizzy, even the Japanese Woman hidden far away suffered serious harm.
Precisely speaking, although this hit landed on the Shadow Ghost, the actual damage was inflicted upon the manipulator, the Japanese Woman herself.
This was the wonder of spiritual magical artifacts; but regrettably, the Japanese Woman didn’t possess such good treasures. Even this space-type magical artifact was obtained from the sect elder with great effort.
For this artifact, she executed three high-difficulty missions assigned by the sect and infiltrated the neighboring country’s depths multiple times, the process was truly a life-and-death ordeal.
In terms of magical artifacts, she had virtually no opponent among her peers, whether it was this Shadow Ghost or the space-type magical artifact in her hand, both were extremely rare treasures; plus the ninja blade that could restrict spiritual power, these formed the confidence for her challenging high-difficulty missions.
It could be said, not just facing a same-level Apostle, even encountering opponents one level higher than her, she wouldn’t necessarily lose. Half a year ago, as a Mid-stage Ghost-level Apostle, she personally assassinated a neighboring country’s Apostle, beheading him with the ninja blade and returning to Japan as commanded.
That was an Upper Ghost Level Apostle, reportedly an elder-level figure from a neighboring sect, yet she succeeded in her ambush; within merely a few minutes, she assassinated him, the process was quite smooth.
But facing Yang Xiao this time, she met her match; she hadn’t anticipated this person holding such many treasures, one after the other, like a small warehouse, bringing them out and using them, truly damn spooky.
