“You… wait!”
Watching the frenzied departure of Rod, Su Lu was left speechless.
Although this may be Rod’s deliberate arrangement, leaving your inexperienced younger brother alone to face the demon devotees, is that really okay?
“You!”
At that moment, Galan let out a beast-like roar, bloodshot with rage, steaming breath from his nostrils: “You want to hurt my daughter? My lovely daughter?”
“No… Sir, I think you may have misunderstood!”
Su Lu smoothly untied his holster, taking out a double-barreled shotgun, flipping off the safety, and aiming at Galan: “You’re simply ill, trust me… you need ‘treatment’!”
Well, the Goddess Church’s Religious Tribunal has its unique legacy of ‘fire therapy’. It’s an excellent procedure, constantly improving, and you — you’re worthy of it!
The Goddess Church has always been resolute in dealing with demon devotees.
Knowing that Mr. Galan won’t have a good end, Su Lu found his trigger finger unable to act.
After all, twice he had not killed anyone yet!
I need a bit of psychological preparation. According to Rod, a devotee tempted by the demon may look like any ordinary person now, but they will commit terrifying acts in the future.
Killing him is for his own good, so his soul can escape the claws of the demon.
And besides, I can also experiment with my attributes. Su Lu took a deep breath, ready to pull the trigger.
“Ahhh!!!”
Just then, a scream came from outside the door.
A middle-aged woman in a white nightgown, her lips painted theatrically bright, like a blossoming rose: “What are you… what are you doing to my husband?”
“His wife… wasn’t she already dead?”
While Su Lu was in mental pause, Galan had already lunged at him.
To protect his family, this craftsman demonstrated his terrifying fighting power.
Unfortunately, in front of Su Lu, it still wasn’t enough.
Smack!
He slapped Galan to the ground with one swipe, his eyes focused on the suddenly appeared woman.
‘Was she really resurrected by the demon? But according to Rod… even if she was resurrected, it would only be a rotten corpse, or an evil spirit!’ Su Lu adjusted the muzzle, ready to blast her as soon as she made any move.
“Alicia, get out of here!”
At this moment, Galan crawled and rolled to his feet, shielding the woman.
Su Lu’s pupils suddenly shrank.
Within his line of sight, the ordinary woman dressed in a nightgown, her red lips parted extra wide, splitting until behind her ear, a lengthy tongue like a snake wriggling out.
At the same time, her figure also began to fade.
“Evil spirit? Ghost!”
Su Lu took a deep breath and immediately pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The powerful recoil of the shot made even a normal person drop their weapon. However, Su Lu’s transcendental physical constitution and strength firmly stood its ground as he watched through the smoke.
The smoke dissipated quickly, revealing Mr. Galan in front of the woman, his body perforated like a honeycomb, and behind him, an increasingly phantasmal evil spirit.
The woman no longer held her former charm. Her face was pale as if freshly dead with her mouth torn open, a blood-red tongue spat out.
The originally immaculate white nightwear rapidly stained into a deep red dress.
And with this, the blood flowing on the floor was swiftly absorbed as if sponged away.
As if… the crimson dress was dyed with fresh blood.
“An evil spirit! A genuine evil spirit!”
When the evil spirit’s gaze turned towards him, Su Lu couldn’t help but shiver.
The Pottery family were a lineage of Demon Hunters mastering the [Demon Hunter] profession. Transcendent with this profession possess powerful physical constitution and mental resilience, but they do not perform well against spiritual entities.
Of course, they could use special potions and bullets to harm spiritual bodies, but the effect was much less compared to physical monsters.
Not to mention, the demon-breaking bullets of his shotgun, he had only one left.
[XP+40]
On the attribute tab, a generous amount of experience points sprang up. This was the reward for killing Galan.
‘As I thought… the experience gained from killing monsters is way higher than from defeating someone in a duel… Galan is just an ordinary person, yet his experience is higher than anyone in the Fight Club… No, he worships demons, he might’ve become “extraordinary” already…’
At this moment, the evil spirit stared at him, letting out a howl.
The shrill sound waves caused the glass on the surrounding windows to instantly shatter into numerous pieces.
‘This won’t work… dealing with an evil spirit by myself is suicide!’
Without thinking, Su Lu continuously drew back.
The Evil Spirit beneath it was a void, floating forward as if to extend a hand to grab his neck.
“Run!”
Swinging his arms rapidly, Su Lu activated Crane Form, trying to escape from the spirit through the door.
Hiss…
The next instant, he felt a burning pain on his left arm, as if a bee had stung him there.
First came a burning pain, followed by numbness.
“Damn it!”
Looking at his left arm, there were three purple marks. It was a parting gift from the Evil Spirit when he tried to snatch something from it.
“Rod, where are you?”
Brother, I can’t hold on much longer, give me a hand!
He rushed downstairs to find three small demon monsters identical to the one above, attacking Rod relentlessly. ‘This is… a complete trap!’
Goosebumps appeared on Su Lu’s skin.
At the same time, he discarded the now useless ignition stick, impulsively picked up a chair next to him, and charged at a small demon monster assaulting Rod. shouting. “Get out of the wav!”
Bang!
With all his might, he smashed the chair onto the demon monster, splattering green pus everywhere.
Staring at the remainder of the chair leg in his hand, a flash of ruthlessness appeared in Su Lu’s eyes. He rushed forward and thrust it into the small demon monster’s belly.
Spurt!
As blood flew everywhere, the monkey-like demon monster with bat ears fell to the ground, twitching a bit before finally stopping.
[XP+50]
“Be careful, there’s still an evil spirit above!”
Not caring for the changes in the attributes bar, Su Lu roared urgently. “I know…this combination is strange…”
With his burden reduced, Rod jammed a dagger into Su Lu’s hand while his other hand held onto the revolver, inserting it into the mouth of another small demon monster and pulling the trigger.
Bang!
Gross pus splattered all over the wall behind the demon monster, and its body slowly fell to the ground.
“Take care of the last one, then use Holy Water against the evil spirit!”
Rod chuckled grimly and withdrew his hand.
Just then, Su Lu felt a chill down his spine.
At some point, the red dress woman had come downstairs. Her hands stretched from inside the wall, one covering Rod’s mouth and the other strangled his neck, lifting him up.
“Ugh!”
Rod’s face immediately turned purple, and his legs kicked around helplessly.
“This evil spirit… it can actually suppress a second -order [Demon Hunter]?” Su Lu was shocked.
Although Demon Hunters, due to their profession, aren’t very skilled at dealing with spiritual bodies, their inherent ‘resistance’ is quite high. But it seemed that Rod couldn’t hold on much longer under its grip!
