American Exorcism Male God

The air was thick with an unfading stench of decay, and the two-person tall black grass swayed in the wind like a frenzied tide of black blood.

The cleansing squadron advanced through the thickets, with no one willing to touch the Deathweed.

These Deathweed plants, which grew in the Land of Ceris, contained corrosive toxins; prolonged contact could cause skin to rot and necrotize.

But the Deathweed was too dense, so they had to wrap themselves in thick clothing, looking like wriggling maggots.

The scene might have looked somewhat comical, but no one felt like laughing, except for Xu Yi.

The church personnel held aloft a fist-sized crystal ball, its pale blue light illuminating the surroundings.

Everyone wanted to stay within the light source, but Xu Yi didn't mind; he always stayed on the periphery, melding into the darkness.

They had been trekking through the Land of Ceris for three days and three nights, and despite being mentally prepared for the vastness of this place, they couldn't help but sigh.

The church's Magic Artifact guided them, reassuring them that they were on the right path; otherwise wandering aimlessly could easily lead to despair.

"You certainly have a good attitude!"

Ed came up to Xu Yi and remarked softly.

All were weary-faced and hardly found smiles, except for Xu Yi, who was an exception.

Even in such a dreadful place, Xu Yi's lips remained faintly upturned, making him look more like he was out for a stroll rather than in danger.

How could Xu Yi not be in a fine mood? Here, without sun or moon, and without light from heaven and earth, this place was simply the perfect training ground for practicing Dark Stealth.

Since entering, he had been using his Dark Stealth ability, and the three days of long trekking had taken his Dark Stealth to a new level.

[Dark Stealth, Current Progress: 68/100]

Perhaps after another two or three days, the Entries would be maxed out.

"There's an old Huaxia saying from my Xia Kingdom, tranquility brings coolness, meaning as long as one maintains a good mindset, the worst situations can be calmly faced," Xu Yi replied softly.

"Tranquility brings coolness!" Ed murmured softly.

When Xu Yi said these words, he used the Huaxia language, which, although not fully understood by Ed, he grasped the profound essence of the saying.

"I must admit, my attitude has indeed been a problem recently; even with the knowledge that the Ram Cult is about to conduct the Evil God's descent ceremony, I should remain calm!" Ed took a deep breath. Your adventure continues at empire

Xu Yi's body suddenly tensed, a serious expression on his face, and the smile was gone.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say tranquility brings coolness? Even with the knowledge of the Ram Cult's ceremony being imminent, such a strong reaction seems needless," Ed was somewhat confused.

"There's another ancient saying from my Xia Kingdom, 'the wise adapt themselves to the times,' meaning when things go wrong, it's time to make a swift retreat," Xu Yi said, poised to run.

All of a sudden, he bellowed, "Be careful! There's something in the thickets!"

No sooner had his voice dropped than a hideous black shadow lunged out of the grass, aiming to tear into the group—it was a black python, more than one meter in diameter, its length unknown.

Upon seeing the python, Xu Yi's first thought was of the Blood Orchid, for the Blood Orchid had caused drastic mutations in the pythons of the primeval forests of Borneo.

But this mutated python was not just altered by the Blood Orchid; it had three pairs of pupils, distributed across its face, which looked utterly horrifying.

Cries of alarm came from another direction, and it wasn't just one python; more and more of these giant snakes lunged from the thickets, the towering Deathweed acting as perfect cover for them.

Xu Yi fired his gun, the blessed Exorcism Bullets striking the python, sending sparks flying from the shattered black scales.

Xu Yi's expression changed ever so slightly; the python, hit by the bullet, merely shed its outer layer of scales.

Another python attacked from behind, but Ed, with quick reflexes, pulled out a Holy Cross Hammer from his waist and struck it hard on the side of the python's head.

The python's head was like being hit head-on by a large truck, its head flipping to the side.

"Change the bullets, use the corrupt silver ones!" Ed's eyes had turned a pale gold, especially conspicuous in the dark space.

Xu Yi decisively unloaded the bullets from the chamber and loaded the corrupt silver bullets produced by the church.

Upon pulling the trigger again, the corrupt silver bullet left the barrel, pierced through the python's scales, and hit the creature's head, with cold snake blood splashing out.

Xu Yi was slightly taken aback.

"Those corrupt silver bullets pack quite the punch, don't they?" Ed thought Xu Yi was stunned because he was amazed by the power of the corrupt silver bullets.

Although they were only replicas of the original corrupt silver bullets, the power they released when fired from the Alchemical Revolver Messiah was indeed unexpected.

But Xu Yi wasn't taken aback because of the corrupt silver bullets.

The moment the snake blood splashed onto the back of his hand, he instantly felt its strong vitality and the mixed in immense amount of resentment.

"Life Cleansing Blade Pool," this was the third condition for repairing the Sacred Red Lotus. What was important wasn't the "pool," but rather the Life Essence Liquid within.

In Japan, to create Life Essence Liquid, one usually places a liquid rich in vitality in front of a shrine to receive the blessings of the masses, absorbing the thoughts of the living spirits.

However, this method of creating Life Essence Liquid isn't suitable for the Sacred Red Lotus because of the Evil God Ratma. Ordinary Life Essence Liquid would erode the divinity on the rat teeth.

But it was different with the python before him; resentment was also a kind of living spirit thought. Life Essence Liquid made from resentment perfectly matched the divine corpse of the Evil God.

Xu Yi looked around; worthy of being the elite extermination squad, they soon organized an effective counterattack after a moment of panic.

Everyone displayed their divine skills, and one after another, the pythons fell, their blood flowing on the ground, seeping into the black soil.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yi felt his heart bleeding; this was all his Life Essence Liquid!

"Everyone, slow down, be careful not to hurt them!" Xu Yi bellowed... Stop making these pythons bleed, how pitiful they are!

A female exorcist turned her head and looked at Xu Yi, touched by his concern, thinking he was quite a good person indeed!

A thick blood-red light suddenly burst towards the sky, and everyone looked in surprise towards the distance. The blood-red light illuminated the area and also the structure beneath the column of light.

"We've found it!" Everyone exclaimed with joy.

When they encountered these pythons, everyone had already anticipated it; surely the Ram Cult's headquarters were nearby.

Ed was also delighted, but then something occurred to him, and his face turned deathly pale, "Not good! It's the Evil God's descent ritual; they've brought the ritual forward!"

"You all go stop the ritual! I'll draw these pythons away!"

Xu Yi scattered a large amount of realgar powder, which, being specially made, not only failed to drive away the pythons but instead enraged them.

"Mister Xu Yi, this is Holy Water Concentrate, these pythons are also Dark Creatures, they too fear Holy Water." The church's cardinal hesitated for a moment, took out a bottle of Holy Water, and handed it to Xu Yi,

"These are the rest of my corrupt silver bullets, stay safe!" Ed stuffed the entire box into Xu Yi's arms.

"If we can meet in the real world, I hope to buy you a cup of coffee," said the beautiful-looking female exorcist as she stepped forward.

"Friend, safe travels!" Another exorcist patted Xu Yi on the shoulder.

Xu Yi was a bit dazed, feeling as if he should be lying amidst a field of lilies, with a peaceful expression on his face and a black-and-white photo placed on a table above his head.

His friends who had come to mourn him looked at the photo, their eyes filled with admiration for a hero.

Ah! What kind of twisted turn of events was this? He just wanted to collect the blood of these pythons to repair the Holy Artifact; he wasn't planning on dying!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
