Nightmare Apostle

After two moves wounded Xuan Sha, Wu Qingcang turned around and shattered an ambush from the Great Protector with another shot.

Where the spear passed, there wasn’t even a contestant. A hidden Ghost Level master from Withered Bone Pavilion didn’t even have time to scream before being pierced through, cold as ice.

At this moment, Yang Xiao finally understood the weight of Deputy Commissioner Zhao’s words when he advised Yang Xiao not to go personally and let Wu Qingcang go because he feared no ambush.

A one-sided defeat was unexpectedly reversed after Wu Qingcang’s intervention. Merely observing his actions, Yang Xiao felt a surge of vigor. One man, one spear, wreaked havoc, as if entering an unoccupied realm. Wu Qingcang’s Overlord Spear lived up to its name!

Admittedly, Yang Xiao had met many great and exceptional fighters over the years, many of whom were Netherworld Realm experts. In terms of boldness in action, Wu Qingcang was definitely in the top tier, only slightly behind a few like the Esoteric Priest Cannibal Buddha.

Back then, when fleeing for his life on Dharma Sect territory, he had no choice but to take drugs and fight to the death with the Magic Teaching City Lord, the Demon Sect Vajra.

Just as he was running out of fuel and on the brink of being finished off, the High Priest Cannibal Buddha descended from the sky, smashing the supposedly invincible Demon Sect Vajra to dust with a single punch.

The scene left a great impression on Yang Xiao’s young mind at the time, inspiring him to aspire to become a great figure like the High Priest.

Wu Qingcang’s fighting style was similar to Cannibal Buddha’s, opting for a sheer force technique to overcome skill, with a robust and domineering spear style, making broad strokes without any unnecessary feints—every move was lethal.

Unfortunately, according to Dean Sheng, Yang Xiao was not suited to follow this path.

Due to personal reasons, he was better at ambush, catching opponents off guard, focusing on attacks from lower angles, poisoning, setting traps, rallying, and using strategies such as covertly traversing across overt pathways.

As Wu Qingcang thrust a spear at the Great Protector, the latter’s figure swayed, and a sudden blood-colored sandstorm erupted, yet it was broken before it could form by a surge of dark red ghostly light.

The spear skewered three Blood Earth Puppets in a line like candied hawthorns, and with a flick of Wu Qingcang’s wrist, the lifeless puppets instantly shattered into pieces.

And at that moment, Xuan Sha, who was desperately fleeing, stumbled momentarily, as if pulled by a hand, nearly falling over.

As the ground beneath him became illusory, turning bloody and nauseating, the Great Protector emerged with several Substitute Death Puppets.

It was evident that the Great Protector was quite haggard by now, even a large chunk of his robe had been torn off, revealing a face as withered as a mummy’s.

"Bone Refining, why are you hindering me?!" Xuan Sha exclaimed, shocked and furious. In his view, with Wu Qingcang’s appearance, the battle’s outcome tonight was decided, and now they should all flee separately, with each escaping if they could.

He didn’t believe that Wu Qingcang, being just one man, could track them all down and kill them one by one.

"Xuan Sha, we’re not getting away. Together we still have a sliver of hope; if we scatter, it’s certain death!" the Great Protector roared.

"You want to kill Wu Qingcang?!" Xuan Sha suspected the Great Protector had been dealt a severe blow to the head making him mad.

"No need to kill him, just injuring him would suffice. If we fight with all we’ve got together, we definitely stand a chance!"

The Great Protector spoke rapidly, "We’ve both come this far, not just by reputation alone. Stop holding back, let’s pull out all the stops!"

Seeing Xuan Sha hesitate, the Great Protector harshly upped the stakes, "Don’t you want that puppet on that kid?"

"I do!" Xuan Sha responded almost instinctively; fortune favors the bold, as long as they can first repel Wu Qingcang, he could then use the Yin Corpse to take the kid’s life.

An invaluable Half-step Nether Realm puppet from Japan was something he was extremely covetous of.

And the Ku Daoist’s Corpse-controlling Bell was also an excellent artifact, something he’d positively enhance his strength with if he acquired it.

Xuan Sha’s brain, still reeling from the backlash of a magic artifact, whirled rapidly, weighing the pros and cons. Apart from Wu Qingcang, the rest were spent forces, especially the Ku Daoist, who he’d severely wounded already, an opportunity not to be missed!

Furthermore, even if they didn’t fight, he’d been injured, and if Wu Qingcang could only pursue one, it would very likely be him.

He knew all too well that he had no space-type magical artifact like the Great Protector; his chances of escaping alone were slim.

"Fine, let’s fight him!" Xuan Sha also made up his mind, decisively stabbing his Token into a Yin Corpse’s back beside him.

The Yin Corpse, initially with slightly closed eyes, instantly opened them wide, tearing at the corners, and the aura within skyrocketed, significantly increasing its combat power by more than two levels compared to before.

Realizing Xuan Sha was ready to gamble it all; the Great Protector didn’t hold back either. From his bosom, he took out an Ink Jade Small Porcelain Bottle, crushing it forcefully, spilling out two blood-colored Elixirs.

The Elixirs were irregularly shaped, as if pinched out randomly, but when sniffed closely, a strong blood scent was evident.

Xuan Sha, being a Half-step Netherworld Envoy, had enough experience to recognize it and was momentarily stunned upon seeing the blood-colored Elixirs, "This is..."

"These are bestowed by my patron, two in total, one for each of us. Let’s fight him!" The Great Protector wasn’t stingy, knowing when to make sacrifices.

In this brief span, under Wu Qingcang’s lead, Yang Xiao and the others had turned the tide against the Withered Bone Pavilion masters, on the verge of wiping them out.
