"You have a physical body? You have a fucking physical body and you still dare to come at me?" Fang Zhiyi grabbed the other party's freezing wrist, completely stopping the woman's raised cleaver from coming down.
Yet, upon touching this possessed woman, Fang Zhiyi once again felt that familiar power.
"So that's how it is."
The woman, possessed and turned into a monster, desperately tried to attack the human in front of her. However, this human was incredibly agile, first dodging her bite and then slipping behind her.
Immediately after came a crisp cracking sound. The woman tried to stand up, but her legs were no longer under her control.
"So skinny and you still try to fight?" Fang Zhiyi sneered. With a swift motion, he directly broke the woman's limbs. Seeing that she actually still wanted to bite him, Fang Zhiyi kicked her down and decisively stomped on her neck, snapping it.
At the exact moment the woman died, Fang Zhiyi felt the bizarre power within his body instantly drain away.
He squeezed his fists in confusion and couldn't help but sigh.
Fang Zhiyi walked straight away; he had no intention of dealing with the corpse. As he passed by the dark-skinned, burly man whose face was filled with shock, Fang Zhiyi said meaningfully, "You better pretend you saw nothing, otherwise..." He made a throat-slitting gesture.
After walking a distance, the dark, burly man's voice came from behind: "You are an exorcist, right? You're amazing! Fang Zhiyi, you're so amazing!"
"Tell me something I don't know."
The familiar sound of chains dragging across the floor echoed once again in the cold, gloomy corridor.
Several doors not far away were suddenly pushed open, followed by fleeing figures.
"Where are you?"
"Hiding so well?"
"Come on out."
"If you don't come out, I'm coming to find you, okay? Better hide well~"
A cabinet door was pulled open. A voodoo doll, desperately covering its mouth, had eyes filled with terror. It watched as that hand reached out toward it. As a demon, it had never been so terrified.
Listening to the screams of their kind, some low-level demons shivered in fear.
These low-level demons had already learned from the scarecrow about what had happened earlier. Simply put, a human lunatic had slaughtered his way through the first half of the corridor. He was looking for someone named Skinny Dog, but they didn't know any Skinny Dog at all.
That perverted voice outside rang out again. It seemed the voodoo doll was already gone, and the remaining demons wished they could stuff themselves into the walls.
What could they do? They couldn't win a fight, and they couldn't run away!
The sound of the chains spread down the corridor. In a cave-like room, Uresk nervously perked up its ears. The rattling noise made it instinctively shrink its neck.
Him, him, him! Did he really come out??? He actually came out of that mental room?
Earlier, when it heard the other demons talking, it thought it might just be some exorcist. But when the scarecrow mentioned the man was looking for someone named Skinny Dog, it froze. Why was this never-ending?
Uresk didn't dare to admit that it was the Skinny Dog the crazy guy was talking about, so it just silently hid back in its lair.
In short, it never wanted to see that terrifying guy again. It never expected that what it feared most would happen—it really was him!
This makes no sense!
Fang Zhiyi looked at both sides in confusion, then looked back. The places he had passed through earlier were at least considered corridors, but the place he had stepped into now was a cave at best. The original white walls had turned into dirt, and those pale indicator lights had become torches hanging on the walls.
He shook his head; this demon world was a bit weird.
Just as he locked his eyes on a door, he suddenly noticed the scene melting away again.
"Well, trial time is over." He left this sentence behind, and then his body gradually became transparent.
Behind that door, Uresk had already curled up into a ball, even imagining its own demise. The door wasn't opened for a long time. It was terrified to the extreme, until cheers erupted outside, letting it know that the guy had left again.
Fang Zhiyi woke up on his bed. Mother Fang looked at him lovingly. Ever since she learned that many people possessed by demons had recovered, her mood had lightened a lot. Seeing her son wake up, she said, "A classmate of yours came to visit you."
Fang Zhiyi was cursing in his heart, but a gentle smile was on his face.
That was until he saw the dark, burly boy sitting somewhat stiffly in the living room. The moment the burly boy saw him, he looked a bit joyful, but also a bit afraid.
Mother Fang knew the kids had their own things to talk about, so she went to the kitchen.
"I didn't say anything! When they came to check, I didn't say a single word!" The dark, burly boy couldn't wait to hold up his fingers and swear.
The scene he had witnessed delivered a massive shock to his soul. A sickly looking guy had first beaten up him and his lackeys, and then killed a monster completely possessed by a demon with his bare hands!
Fang Zhiyi stared at him, recalling his name for a long time. "Prey, what are you doing at my house so late?"
Prey smiled apologetically. "I, I want to, I want to be an exorcist."
"Then you're going to be disappointed. I'm not an exorcist." Fang Zhiyi spread his hands. "You're better off finding those exorcist organizations. I heard that Order is pretty good, isn't it?"
"No, no, no, I've seen them perform exorcisms. They can't completely destroy demons at all, it's not the same!" Prey was a bit agitated. As if making up his mind, he directly dropped to one knee. "Please, teach me!"
Fang Zhiyi ignored him. Teach you? Teach you how to use that bizarre power? That's nonsense. If his own mental strength hadn't been strong enough, he would have been consumed by that power long ago.
Seeing Fang Zhiyi unmoved, Prey gritted his teeth. "Or... or you could help save my cousin! I'll do anything!"
Fang Zhiyi refused outright. He wasn't here to exorcise demons; he simply wanted to find the original owner's brother.
But just as he was about to open his mouth to kick him out, he suddenly thought of something.
"Your cousin... is possessed?"
Seeing a chance, Prey said, "Yes, my aunt already invited people from the Order. They tied her up, but it was useless. She could still break free from the ropes and levitate." He continuously gestured. "The people from the Order have no solution either. They just chant some stuff I don't understand."
He remembered the scene of the Order's exorcist being puked on by his cousin with disgusting slime, and his face turned a bit ugly.
Fang Zhiyi suddenly stood up. "Let's go. Take me to have a look."
As a relative, Prey entered his aunt's house very smoothly. He didn't mention Fang Zhiyi's identity, but rather said he wanted to see his cousin.
The aunt, with a face full of sorrow, didn't think much of it. Her possessed daughter had already drained a lot of her energy.
After a simple greeting, she left, leaving only Prey and Fang Zhiyi standing in the room.
On the bed lay a soundly sleeping girl, her hands and feet tied to the edges of the bed.
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him.
