Chapter 74 Mar Town
"Yes, it's one hundred million!"
"Alright then! I can give it a try."
Facing The Holy See's irresistible monetary offer, Chu Feng ultimately had no choice but to concede defeat.
As the saying goes, money can make even ghosts turn the millstone. Chu Feng was also a layman and had yet to reach the lofty realm where money is seen as mere dirt.
Let others be noble if they want to, I want money anyway!
After muttering to himself, Chu Feng smiled and nodded at Bishop Connell.
"Now that everything is clear, I won't linger here any longer. I'll come to see you after I've dealt with that Demon! Goodbye, Bishop Connell."
After waving to the elderly man on the bed, Chu Feng turned and walked towards the door of the hospital room.
"Bishop Chu Feng, be careful. I'll be waiting here for your good news!"
Bishop Connell's somewhat weak voice came from behind.
"Of course, definitely!"
Outside the hospital's main entrance, a black minivan seemed to have been waiting for quite some time.
As soon as Chu Feng came out, the door of the minivan immediately opened, and a familiar-looking young Monk appeared in front of Chu Feng.
"Why aren't you staying by Bishop Connell's side? Aren't you always following him?"
"Bishop Chu Feng, my name is Kuno. I have been specifically instructed by Bishop Connell to be responsible for your schedule in the coming period."
Hearing this, Chu Feng nodded in understanding and had no objections to this arrangement.
"Then let's set off!"
While speaking, Chu Feng pulled open the minivan's door and comfortably sat down inside.
"Bishop Chu Feng, don't you need to rest a bit? Your opponent is a Demon, and if you are not careful..."
Monk Kuno's tone was clearly hesitant, suggesting he likely understood the Demon's strength.
"Let's rest when we get there; it's good to check out the situation first."
Chu Feng was certainly not reckless. His opponent this time was no easy challenge, and he had to be fully prepared.
But before resting, it was better to investigate the site firsthand to see if there had been any unexpected developments.
The minivan Chu Feng was in finally stopped outside a scenic small town about two hours later.
Chu Feng stepped onto the firm ground with a light leap from the vehicle and looked towards the eerily quiet town not far away.
From a distance, the entire town seemed to be shrouded in a black mist, only allowing a blurry view of the buildings inside.
"Monk Kuno, hasn't The Holy See set up anything? Aren't they afraid the Demon might flee far away?"
Chu Feng looked around. Not seeing any other Holy See personnel, he was extremely surprised as he turned to the Monk beside him.
Monk Kuno pointed to the edge of the town.
"Over there, Bishop Connell led a group of priests to make arrangements, and the injuries on the Bishop himself were caused by the Demon's assault during that time!"
It seems this Demon is very powerful!
So many priests gathered together, with Holy Power swirling around, would be enough to trouble any common Evil Spirit. Yet, this Demon had managed to attack Bishop Connell and retreat with ease, which showed its formidable strength.
"You stay here; I'll go over there and have a look!"
After casually instructing Monk Kuno, Chu Feng carefully approached the direction of Mar Town.
On the way to the small town, the silence was especially profound. Not even the usual chirping of birds could be heard, just the mournful howling of the wind echoing incessantly in Chu Feng's ears.
As he drew closer to the town, the scenes within became much clearer.
What a huge cross! Bishop Connell didn't go and bring over the large cross from some church, did he!
Arriving near the town, a giant cross standing at the edge caught Chu Feng's attention.
Feeling the thick Holy Power entwining around it, it wasn't hard to guess that this was likely the important instrument trapping the Demon.
Moreover, in Chu Feng's blurred perception, there were three other waves of Holy Power emanating from the town's other three directions.
Waves of Holy Power from four sources intertwined and mingled above the town, forming a huge Holy Power barrier that enveloped the entire town.
BANG.
Just as Chu Feng settled at the edge of the town, a faint impact sound suddenly emerged.
Following the noise, not far away, in front of the giant cross, a ripple of milky white light was slowly dissipating.
And behind the ripple, an evil hound, its body charred, hairless, and emitting thick black smoke, was just struggling to stand up from the ground.
As if sensing Chu Feng's gaze, the evil hound, which under normal circumstances clearly shouldn't still be alive, crouched on the ground and bared its ferocious teeth at Chu Feng.
This damn thing is really ugly! And it doesn't seem like a hellhound...
While Chu Feng was pondering, the demon-like mad dog suddenly charged towards him with its mismatched fangs bared.
Another soft BANG.
In front of Chu Feng, centered where the mad dog had struck, ripples appeared again and gradually spread out.
Hmm, not very smart!
Chu Feng chuckled and shook his head. With a light flick of his palm, the Demon Hunting Blade appeared in his hand in the blink of an eye.
With a single step, Chu Feng appeared next to the mad dog.
A flash of the blade, but he ignored the dog's reaction. Instead, he kicked off the ground, retreating several meters to outside the Holy Power barrier.
As expected of a cunning Demon!
Feeling the presence of the Demon, which had just calmed down nearby, Chu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
DING! Congratulations, Host, for killing a corpse hound. You will receive the following rewards:
1. Strength Attribute 4 points, Physique Attribute 3 points, Mental Attribute 2 points, Spiritual Power Attribute 3 points
2. Lifespan 1 year
Better than nothing, I suppose! Chu Feng sighed lightly after looking at the system's reward prompt, then casually used all the rewards.
Taking a deep look at Mar Town in front of him, Chu Feng turned around and walked back.
Early the next morning, the minivan Chu Feng was in once again arrived outside Mar Town.
"Monk Kuno, you can go back first!" After patting the shoulder of the young Monk in front of him with a smile, Chu Feng turned his head to look at the distant Mar Town.
The town still looked dim, shrouded in dark fog. With thick clouds also covering the sky today, Chu Feng, looking from afar, truly felt like he was in a horror movie.
I wonder how many Attribute Points the system will reward for dealing with this Demon?
Chu Feng now felt that Exorcism was not as easy as in the beginning, so he was in urgent need of strengthening his own power.
With a spread of his hands, the AA-12 shotgun appeared in Chu Feng's hands in the blink of an eye.
He picked up the shotgun, quickly checked the ammunition, replaced the drum with a new one, and then headed directly towards the town.
"Let's go!"
