Chapter 1599: Chapter 940: Gave You a Chance and You Blew It (Part 2)
Now Yang Xiao had mostly recovered and was capable of dealing with the Mirror Ghost. To test the Mirror Ghost, Yang Xiao took out the Soul-Capturing Mirror and attempted to summon it, but he failed.
The Mirror Ghost reacted, but it seemed too injured to get up.
Realizing this issue, Yang Xiao took a deep breath, thinking that the worst-case scenario had indeed happened. He was at least 70% sure that the Mirror Ghost was out of control, and it was waiting to deceive him.
Yang Xiao decided to use a strategy against the Mirror Ghost since the ghost had some magic artifacts with it, and a direct confrontation would be troublesome. He planned to use his intellect.
Although the Mirror Ghost was part of him, it mostly inherited his character. In terms of intelligence, Yang Xiao was far ahead, and these little tricks of the Mirror Ghost could not fool him.
With a thought, Yang Xiao returned to the Mirror World, opened the door, and entered the secret chamber.
As expected, just as he predicted, the Mirror Ghost was in the chamber, lying on the floor by the bed, struggling slowly. It felt like it had been on the bed earlier but had to get up due to Yang Xiao’s command. However, being weak and severely injured, it was unable to, resulting in a fall.
"My son is indeed as good an actor as me," Yang Xiao sighed inwardly. This guy had no shame; at least in acting, it could put to shame 99% of today’s young actors. Truly a veteran performer.
To subdue the Mirror Ghost without bloodshed, Yang Xiao also showcased his acting skills, sincerely jogging over, "Brother, what happened? It’s all your father’s fault. If I had known you were so injured, I’d have made sure you rested and recovered!"
Witnessing this scene, Yang Xiao also had a prediction of the next act. He judged that the Mirror Ghost wouldn’t strike as he approached since he was still on high alert, unless it abandoned the two attack-type magic artifacts. The play was real then.
Maintaining high vigilance, Yang Xiao single-handedly lifted the Mirror Ghost from the ground and dragged it onto the bed, always keeping his other hand ready.
Just as he lifted the Mirror Ghost, "thud" "bump," two sounds of something falling echoed. It was the Ghost Chef’s Knife and the Black Stone.
The Black Stone even rolled away.
Yang Xiao: "..."
"How did my child get injured like this? It’s my fault. Next time, I won’t involve you in these battles. Just focus on healing," Yang Xiao said emotionally as he gently combed the Mirror Ghost’s hair, his eyes filled with regret.
The next second, the Mirror Ghost seemed to have an unfulfilled wish. It half-closed its eyes, tremulously raised its arm, pointing to the floor, barely alive.
Yang Xiao understood; the Mirror Ghost wanted him to pick up the magic artifact from the floor. More importantly, it intended to distract him to prepare for the upcoming sneak attack.
Yang Xiao sighed inwardly, knowing that his "good son" couldn’t wait to kill his father. The moment he turned around would be the time for it to act.
Considerately, Yang Xiao turned his back, crouching while pretending to pick up items. But at that instant, the Mirror Ghost on the bed, appearing weak, suddenly sprang up like a different person, swiftly grabbed the wooden wedge, and stabbed it fiercely towards Yang Xiao’s back.
Each action was smooth and practiced. After all, it had rehearsed countless times in the quiet of the night. In this world, diligence is most feared; every drop of sweat never goes in vain.
As the wooden wedge inched closer to Yang Xiao’s back, the Mirror Ghost couldn’t help but grin, as if it already envisioned enslaving the person before it.
But in the next second, with a barely audible sigh, the Mirror Ghost’s wrist gripping the wooden wedge bizarrely twisted. Like space folding over, it changed direction, plunging the wooden wedge straight into its own heart.
"Plop!"
The not particularly sharp wooden wedge pierced right into the Mirror Ghost’s chest.
The Ghost Sleeve Robe’s ability had activated, and its effect was immediate.
Without looking back, Yang Xiao moved aside, and then the jumping Mirror Ghost landed with a "thud," kneeling where Yang Xiao had stood moments ago. Simultaneously, its hands gripped the wooden wedge, which was now deeply embedded in its chest, controlled once more.
Weary, Yang Xiao stood and walked over, shaking the Mirror Ghost’s head vigorously, "I gave you a chance, and you blew it... I gave you a chance, and you blew it..."
For some reason, before coming here, Yang Xiao worried that the Mirror Ghost would have some new tricks. But realizing it still remained as dull as ever frustrated him even more, feeling it hadn’t improved at all.
It was like parents with double 985 science PhDs having a child who failed math, pathetic in its misfortune, angered by its incompetence.
Poor parents’ hearts; the martial arts world is so treacherous. With such a lack of skill, if not for his protection, this guy would get abducted the moment it stepped out the door, even counting money for those who sold it out.
It seriously tarnished his reputation.
But after all, it was his child; he certainly couldn’t kill it. Now it was too late to train a new player, so Yang Xiao sighed helplessly, lifting the Mirror Ghost, ready to throw it back onto the bed.
However, as Yang Xiao regained control over the Mirror Ghost, he seemed to notice something new—a new mental fluctuation emanating from the Mirror Ghost.
It was a magic artifact. There was yet another magic artifact on the Mirror Ghost!
Following this sensation, Yang Xiao pried open the Mirror Ghost’s mouth for inspection and quickly found a peculiar tooth on the right side of its mouth.
