American Exorcism Male God

Chapter 245 "Three-Star" Source of Woe



Xu Yi quietly looked at the corpse hanging from his hand. He originally thought the other party would reveal some explosive secret, but after listening, he only had one thought in his mind.

That's it?

Xu Yi took decisive action, not because he detected that Fick was lying.

If he had known, he would have been full of admiration; the other party's "lying" ability couldn't just be described as a talent, it was more like a divine skill!

Aside from being somewhat cautious at the beginning, throughout the process, he never doubted that Fick was telling lies.

Such a person is a born deceiver.

The reason Xu Yi acted was very simple.

He wasn't there to save Japan anyway, so it didn't affect him if he didn't know how to lift the curse.

"Fick knows how to lift the curse, so the higher-ups of other organizations must know as well, after all, Fick isn't the boss of the organizations."

"If he could easily interrogate to find the solution, there's no reason Japanese Onmyoji couldn't do the same, they shouldn't be that useless."

That was the thought that flashed through Xu Yi's mind at the time.

If it had been something he could solve easily, that would have been fine, but Fick made it sound too complicated. Xu Yi found it too bothersome and decided to take action.

However, that said, only by making the process seem incredibly complicated would the lies appear more real.

If Fick knew what Xu Yi was thinking, he would probably be so frustrated he'd spit blood; his cause of death was because he made his lies too believable!

Xu Yi was about to withdraw his hand from Fick's pierced skull, but he suddenly started, the blood burning within his body, the "holy" radiance reappeared.

His palm tightened as if it had grasped something.

"I curse you! I want you to die a horrible death!" The soulful voice of Fick came through, roaring and swearing at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi expressionlessly observed the thing in his hand, a squirming soul.

This was something he had not anticipated, that "holy" could not only destroy the physical body but also incinerate the soul. A common exorcist would have died, body and soul destroyed, by merely touching it.

Yet Fick's soul was still alive!

A sudden and inexplicable chill descended upon him. Xu Yi looked down to see blood dripping continuously from Fick's toes, the blood was murky and dark.

The powerful force of the holy had instantly dried up Fick's internal organs, so where did the blood come from?

In Fick's arms was a broken glass bottle; the black blood was flowing out from it.

Xu Yi recognized the bottle; it was a special magic artifact designed to shatter automatically upon detecting the host's heart stop beating.

Typically, such bottles contained corrosive acid that Dead Soldiers used to destroy evidence, but the blood in front of him was clearly not that.

Xu Yi's expression changed subtly as he felt a cold energy creeping up his body.

He had seen this kind of energy before on Yukeni; this black blood probably came from someone who died from the curse.

In the end, he was still contaminated by the curse!

"Now that I'm dead, you won't get off easy either! I was lying to you just now; the curse can't really be lifted! Prepare to live in the hell of the curse!" Fick laughed madly.

Xu Yi was unmoved. The power of the holy allowed him to come into physical contact with the soul. He held Fick's soul and continuously scorched it with Holy Flame.

There is no such thing as an indestructible soul, especially not in the presence of Holy Flame; it would just take a bit more time, that's all. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire

"Blood as Sacred" has many ways of application, "Full Release" mode, "Point" mode, "Bestow Blood" mode...

This ability has very strong potential for development, and Xu Yi was still exploring it.

"Full Release" mode is what he used when facing the Evil Deity Dragon, a typical example of "open for a moment of exhilaration, followed by a cremation."

"Point" mode, on the other hand, is the complete opposite, following an economical and sustainable approach.

He was now using the "Point" mode. In order to deal with any potential dangers that might arise, he definitely wanted to preserve his strength as much as possible.

Xu Yi silently waited and, after a moment, realized that besides being tainted with a curse, nothing happened.

His gaze fell upon the fierce bird at his waist.

During the combat, he had used a rope to tie the fierce bird to his waist because, as a living creature, it couldn't be stored in his toy space.

The sin-imbued dark-gold Sin Remains were embedded in the center of the fierce bird. Xu Yi had wanted to forcibly remove it but discovered that doing so would trigger an Array hidden within the bird's body, so he gave up the idea.

In addition to the fierce bird, a statue of the Source of Woe hung at his waist, and at this moment, the three gemstones on the Source of Woe lit up, flickering with a faint red light.

Three-star level! It was actually three-star level Source of Woe material!

Xu Yi touched the Sin Remains, feeling their icy chill.

He was genuinely curious, where had this thing come from? After all, even the remnants of the Spear of Longinus were merely two-star.

He was excited for a moment but quickly regained his calm.

He didn't choose to merge because the amount of Sin Remains was too little, just the size of a fingernail.

To choose "object" to become Source of Woe, there was no doubt, it was intended for crafting an exclusive weapon.

What could he craft with such a fingernail-sized remnant? An embroidery needle? He did not want to follow the path of the invincible Eastern champion.

Moreover, after an object becomes a Source of Woe, it needs to undergo division, and with such division, he estimated that he couldn't even make a needle.

"If only there was a bit more..."

Xu Yi sighed deeply. If he had the size of a fist, he could mix in other materials to craft a weapon, but what he had was far too little.

He scanned the surroundings, where murky shadows circled around hesitantly. The Dark Creatures that were attracted by the Sin Remains didn't want to leave, but they were fearful of the Holy Flame's power and didn't dare to come close.

"Close the petals!"

Xu Yi had just said it casually when, unexpectedly, the fierce bird immediately closed its petals, being excessively obedient.

With the petals covering the Sin Remains, the foul stench disappeared, and the peering Dark Creatures would soon leave.

Xu Yi had no intention of dealing with these Dark Creatures because they were simply unkillable.

Japan, a land no bigger than a bullet, could give birth to so many "impurities," which was extraordinary to the extreme.

But those Dark Creatures suddenly became "shrivelled," like balloons that had their air sucked out, not even managing to emit a scream.

Suddenly, a bizarre bubbling sound emanated from the darkness. Xu Yi became instantly alert; that bubbling was certainly not the usual magnetic voice one would hear.

It was more like the sound made when trying to breathe with a cut throat, before finally running out of breath, where the exhale is obstructed by flesh and blood.

An eerie figure appeared from within the darkness, a woman with pallid skin.

Her white slip dress was covered in bloodstains, and her filthy, long hair cascaded down the side of her face. She suddenly lifted her head, her bleeding eyes staring intently at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi took a deep breath. Without doubt, what he now faced was the root of the curse, Kayako.

Kayako's limbs were twisted as she crawled through the darkness.

Wherever she went, those Dark Creatures would collapse one after another, and a large amount of dark energy surged into her body.

Xu Yi's complexion grew grim; he suddenly understood the mission of the organization.

The Dark Creatures drawn by the Sin Remains were all nourishment for Kayako!

That is to say, if he allowed the Ghost Samurai to stay in Japan, they would definitely draw Kayako's attention, and the outcome would be unpredictable.

"This is the grand masterpiece of our organization! Kayako originally didn't possess the ability to absorb other Dark Creatures, it was we who bestowed it upon her!" Fick cackled maniacally.

Xu Yi's eyebrows were tightly knotted, this legendary organization was utterly devoid of conscience!

The curse was already terrifying, and if it were combined with the ability to devour other Dark Creatures, he couldn't even begin to imagine what it might become.
