The Exorcism Began in America.

Steven had not expected Chu Feng to react so swiftly.

"ROAR! You damned..."

BOOM!

Chu Feng landed another heavy punch, blasting away the muscular demon that had rushed in from outside the church. He then turned his gaze back to Steven.

"Aren't your Satan's Sect and the Holy Advent Society on the same side?"

"Same side? Mr. Chu Feng, your thoughts are quite naive! Our Satan's Sect only believes in the guidance of the Morning Star!" Steven's expression was filled with devotion.

"I see, but I still choose to refuse!"

Upon hearing Chu Feng's refusal, Steven's devoted expression instantly darkened.

He reached out and patted the muscular demon, who had returned to his side. "It's up to you now. Take care of him!"

Just as Chu Feng felt puzzled by the other's arrogance, the muscular demon's bulky, rippling hand directly clutched Steven's head. Its other hand grabbed Steven's shoulder. With a slight exertion of force, a blood-streaked spine was directly pulled out.

Like a soft whip, the spine slumped to the ground.

Looking at it, a hint of a smile flashed in the muscular demon's eyes.

As the rich Hell's aura in the muscular demon's hand ignited into a blazing Hell Flame, the spine in its hand was enveloped in an instant.

「A few breaths later」

The fiercely burning, malevolent Hell Flame in the demon's hand finally began to dissipate. A nearly two-meter-long giant Bone Sword appeared in its hand. Held by the tall muscular demon, it didn't seem out of place.

The blade of the Bone Sword was composed of sections of snow-white vertebrae, with a crimson glow flashing from within. The skull at the hilt had two pitch-black eye sockets from which two streams of crimson Hell Flames erupted, burning quietly.

Watching the muscular demon, whose aura had dramatically changed and who now looked intoxicated, Chu Feng silently gripped the Demon Hunting Blade in his hand.

CLANG!

Following the crisp metallic sound, Chu Feng and the demon finally clashed.

BOOM! The moment they collided, a huge figure crashed through the church wall and flew out. Chu Feng, a smile on his face, remained where he stood.

"I gave you a chance, but you're still useless!"

He stomped heavily. With a sound like rending air, Chu Feng's figure instantly appeared on the main street outside the church.

Looking at the muscular demon struggling to get up nearby, Chu Feng twirled the Demon Hunting Blade in his hand before slowly walking towards it.

"How is this possible? How could you suddenly become so powerful? It's impossible..."

The demon, rising from the ground, stared at Chu Feng's figure, its face full of disbelief.

"Little demon, how long has it been since your promotion?" Chu Feng asked with a smile, looking at the figure leaning on its sword.

While waiting for the demon's reply, he tossed an intricate Array Plate into the air.

"Hmm? Not talking?" Chu Feng laughed, watching the silent demon before him.

With a flash of cold light from the Demon Hunting Blade, one of the huge bat-like wings on the demon's back trembled lightly, then slid to the ground along the blade's mirror-smooth edge.

"AH... MY WINGS! Chu Feng, I'll fight you to the death!"

The demon, its eyes turning blood-red, angrily swung the Bone Sword in its hand, hacking viciously towards Chu Feng's head.

Such futile struggling... Chu Feng sighed lightly as Spiritual Power surged from within his body, instantly rushing into the Demon Hunting Blade.

CLANGGGG!

CRACK!

Another loud clash of blade against sword rang out, immediately followed by a crisp breaking sound. A section of the white Bone Sword flew through the air.

"This... this is impossible! The Bone Sword I refined can't be this fragile..."

The muscular demon stared at the broken Bone Sword in its hand, muttering in a daze.

"Nothing is impossible," Chu Feng said. "When you chose to step into the Human World, you should have been prepared for failure."

The muscular demon looked at Chu Feng before it, then at the broken sword in its hand, and finally lowered its proud head.

"Low-level demon Baru greets the human Exorcist, sir!"

After hearing the demon's introduction, Chu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.

He hadn't expected a low-level demon, freshly promoted from a demon soldier, to possess such strength!

Fortunately, the Dream Eater Darius, whom he had offended, couldn't come to the Human World. Otherwise, he could only wait for death!

"So, by mingling with the followers of Satan, you serve the Hell Demon God Lucifer?"

"Yes, I serve beneath the Morning Star!"

"Quite the background," Chu Feng nodded indifferently.

"How much do you know about Satan's Sect?"

"..." Demon Baru looked at Chu Feng, shook its head slightly, and then fell silent again.

"What? Even deceitful demons can have loyalty?"

"It's not loyalty... it's faith! My faith doesn't allow me to betray!"

"Faith? Hmm, a good thing. Unfortunately, your faith is a tremendous disaster for this fragile Human World!"

"The frailty of humankind is no concern of demons! Weak lambs are destined to fall prey to predators."

"Very well. By your logic, you are now my prey."

The Demon Hunting Blade in Chu Feng's hand was suddenly placed against demon Baru's throat.

Everyone understands the law of the jungle. However, it's not so wonderful when one becomes the prey.

"Humans will sooner or later become Hell's... URGH..."

"Noisy!" Chu Feng retorted.

The Demon Hunting Blade in Chu Feng's hand, filled with Spiritual Power, instantly slid across demon Baru's neck, cutting off its words.

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for slaying a demon. You will receive the following rewards:

1. Strength Attribute +40 points, Physique Attribute +36 points, Mental Attribute +30 points, Spiritual Power Attributes +32 points.

2. Lifespan +31 years.

3. Storage Space doubled.

4. A mysterious feather."

After applying all the other rewards, Chu Feng's gaze fell on the final item.

A mysterious feather?

Holding the palm-sized black feather, his Spiritual Perception failed to detect anything unusual about it.

"System, what is this feather? What's its use?"

"DING! This feather originates from a powerful life form. Its specific use is unknown."

"Is that all for an introduction?" Chu Feng muttered.

Chu Feng thought for a moment. Since he couldn't currently find a use for the feather, he placed it into his Storage Space.

After doing all this, Chu Feng's attention returned to the Spirit-Seeking Compass on his wrist.

"Next, I should deal with those... Huh? How did all the Bizarre disappear?"

Looking at the unmoving pointer on the Compass, Chu Feng was baffled. Even after using his more extensive Spiritual Perception to scan the area, no traces of the Bizarre could be found.

Disbelieving, Chu Feng swiftly searched within the range of the Four Symbols Spirit Trapping Formation.

「After an unsuccessful search」

Could they have left the range of the Spirit Trapping Formation already?

He casually put away the Array Plate and the Spirit-Seeking Compass, which his Spiritual Perception had now rendered unnecessary.

Chu Feng looked at the gradually dispersing black fog around him and headed directly back the way he had come.
