Chapter 1575: Chapter 932: Execution (Part 2)
This was exactly the result Yang Xiao wanted, the opponent believed he was fake, thinking he was a mere illusion, a treacherous illusion technique.
Seeing Yang Xiao hesitate to take action, the opponent’s eyes filled with even more disdain.
Yang Xiao cooperated by slowly raising his left hand in a threatening manner, seemingly intending to attack, but in the eyes of the Japanese Woman, it was just bluffing, a poor disguise.
She had long seen through this boy; everything before her eyes confirmed her judgment. This shadow couldn’t harm anyone; she had been fooled by this boy!
Damn it!
The Ghost Shadow controlled by the Japanese Woman didn’t even try to escape; to overcome fear, it leaned its head forward, voluntarily touching Yang Xiao’s hand, tilting its face with a grin, mocking Yang Xiao with slanted eyes.
Yet, a drastic change occurred the next second. At the instant Yang Xiao’s hand touched the top of the Ghost Shadow’s head, the Ghost Sleeve Robe’s ability was instantly triggered. The Ghost Shadow immediately stopped laughing, desperately tried to retract its head, but it was too late.
This was the Taoist Great Demon’s famous magic artifact, the ability to counteract the opponent’s artifact. To be precise, it’s "returning the way of others onto themselves." Yang Xiao deliberately saved this artifact to give the Japanese Woman a surprise.
Caught completely off guard, the Japanese Woman was instantly backlashed by the artifact. The Ghost Shadow trembled several times before dissipating into nothingness.
At the same time, Yang Xiao heard a muffled sound, like something had fallen into a pile of mud, roughly ten meters behind him to the right.
Soon, the scene before him changed. The Deep Sea World confining him vanished at an observable speed, revealing a space about the size of half a soccer field. It seemed like a tidal flat after the tide receded, with muddy ground underfoot, and the smell of the sea was pungent.
Evidently, this was the true world within that space-type magical artifact. The area wasn’t large, certainly couldn’t compare with his Mirror World, yet it was much larger than the Bone Fan currently in the hands of his good friend Fu Qingzhu.
As the illusion collapsed, Yang Xiao easily found the Japanese Woman. Her situation wasn’t good; she lay on a mudflat with her upper and lower body nearly separated, a huge gaping wound in her chest, her head was bleeding profusely, leaving her with barely any breath.
Upon approaching, Yang Xiao understood with just a glance that these injuries were his doing, but were inflicted on the Shadow Ghost’s body. However, by influencing the Shadow Ghost with the Ghost Sleeve Robe, the woman controlling it suffered a backlash from the Shadow Ghost, ending up in such a tragic state.
Simultaneously, he clarified one fact: the Shadow Ghost wasn’t invincible. The damage it suffered still existed, but it was "accumulated" in a peculiar way. Once backlash occurred, the damage would be transferred unchanged to the artifact holder.
Considering it deeply, the Shadow Ghost was indeed a double-edged sword. Once it’s triggered, victory or defeat must be decided; otherwise, even the controller might face danger.
From these aspects, Yang Xiao found the Mirror Ghost more endearing, as it’s like his own child, behaving loyally enough when dealing with everyone except for sweet sister.
Oh, and there’s Sutana. This person is too special, as the Mirror Ghost behaves like a sycophant in Sutana’s presence, even Dean Sheng couldn’t handle it.
Now, the Japanese Woman posed no threat to him. Yang Xiao simply dismissed the Japanese Female Ghost state and returned to his true form.
His gaze swept over to the Japanese Woman’s side, seeing several artifacts scattered on the ground nearby: a flat rusty iron box, a straight-bladed Ninja Blade, a Hand Shaking Bell, and a translucent human-shaped card.
The Ninja Blade and Hand Shaking Bell were familiar to Yang Xiao, as he had seen them before. The translucent human-shaped card must be the artifact used to summon the Shadow Ghost, while the flat box resembled an old makeup compact, likely that space-type magical artifact.
Seeing the woman cough up blood while glaring at him with wide eyes full of unwillingness, yet there was more underlying confusion.
The woman’s lips moved slightly, seemingly wanting to say something, but her current state didn’t allow it; her time was running out.
"Can’t understand why you ended up like this?" Yang Xiao sneered, "Don’t get how that illusion suddenly became real, right?"
The woman stared fixedly at him, waiting for his answer, or else she wouldn’t rest in peace.
"Won’t tell you, let that frustrate you to death!"
Yang Xiao abhorred this woman deeply, so he drew the Ring-Headed Saber, the blade reflecting the icy cold glint, showing the woman’s dying state.
"This strike is for Wu Zhengwu and the innocent victims from Rongcheng. Heartless thing, go to hell!"
After gathering energy, Yang Xiao slashed down fiercely, cutting off the woman’s head.
He ripped off the woman’s outer coat and casually wrapped the head. He had vowed before Wu Zhengwu’s grave to bring back the murderer’s head for him, today he accomplished it, settling a matter on his mind.
But while wrapping the head with the woman’s coat, he unexpectedly found a tightly packaged small box in a waterproof bag in the coat’s inner pocket.
The box was wooden, its edges severely worn, as if it had endured a long history.
Yang Xiao held the box, carefully sensing it, determining it was unlike the materials he had encountered before, meaning the box didn’t contain the Resentful Eye.
