While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

"The devil's followers have infiltrated! They carry the scent of heresy!"

Burn them! Protect the Lord's temple!

With a whoosh.

Dozens of strong and burly guards emerged from the shadows, carrying iron bars and homemade firearms.

Sybil immediately drew her gun, but Cao Kun grabbed her wrist.

"I told you, the bullets are useless."

Cao Kun glanced around, a cruel smile curving his lips.

"Since Alessa can't come in, I'll open this door for her."

The guards, armed with iron bars and muskets, moved quickly and rushed down the steps in just a few strides.

"Lord, grant us strength to purify impurity!"

A guard roared and swung his iron bar down hard on Cao Kun's head with a whooshing sound.

Cao Kun neither dodged nor evaded; his right hand suddenly shot out, his five fingers gripping the falling iron rod like iron pincers.

"Snap!"

The originally hard iron rod was like mud in Cao Kun's hands, and several finger marks were squeezed out.

Cao Kun suddenly pulled the guard in front of him, and with his left hand, he pointed his fingers like a knife and struck the guard's chest.

"Bang!"

There was no blood, no screams.

The guard's chest was blown open by that single finger.

What was exposed was not internal organs, but ashes that looked like black smoke.

His body quickly became transparent, and then completely disintegrated with a mournful ghostly howl.

"Ding! Killed a G-rank ghost, gained 300 merit points."

A system notification sounded in my mind.

Sybil was stunned; her finger, which had been on the trigger, trembled slightly.

"They...they're not human?"

"They're long dead," Cao Kun said coldly. "Thirty years ago, there wasn't a single survivor in this town after that fire."

Now, they are nothing more than 'sinners' kept by Alessa in her sheepfold.

It's just clinging to this facade with this twisted belief.

"A devil! He's a real devil!"

Christabella screamed, "Kill him! Burn him with the sacred fire!"

The townspeople on the bench all stood up, their faces turning deathly pale and bluish-purple in that instant.

Its eyes were covered by a thick, grayish-white fog, and it emitted a series of low growls that made one's teeth ache.

Hundreds of ghosts surged together, their chilling aura almost extinguishing the lights in the church.

"Gathering together will clear the area."

Cao Kun snorted coldly, flipped his hand, and grasped the Heavenly Ruler in his hand, with lightning leaping wildly across its surface.

"fall!"

Cao Kun stood up, his body rising high, and placed one foot on the long table of the altar.

He swung the ruler in his hand fiercely at the towering roof of the church, which was covered with biblical stories.

The Five Thunder Orthodox Method, combined with the Heavenly Canopy Ruler, summons thunder far beyond anything seen under normal circumstances.

"Boom!"

A bolt of golden lightning, as thick as a bowl, exploded from the void, shattering the stained glass dome of the church.

Debris flew everywhere, and a massive bolt of lightning struck like a sword of judgment.

It tore a huge hole in the dark roof.

The black ash outside rushed in with the strong wind, shattering the original sacred and oppressive atmosphere.

"what!"

Those cult ghosts at the forefront screamed and turned into black smoke under the aftershocks of the lightning.

Cao Kun stood on the altar, his body crackling with electric arcs, like a thunder god.

"Alessa dared not go in because she still held onto that little bit of humanity."

I dare to go in because you beasts don't even deserve to go to hell.

"From one to ten thousand, go!"

Cao Kun flicked his right hand, and the copper coin sword instantly scattered.

365 consecrated copper coins transformed into a rain of swords, frantically weaving through the narrow space of the church.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

The copper coin-shaped sword accurately pierced through the brows or hearts of ghosts.

"Ding! Killed a G-rank ghost, gained 500 merit points!"

"Ding! Killed a G-rank ghost, gained 300 merit points!"

……

A barrage of system notifications echoed in Cao Kun's mind.

In less than a minute, a large area of ​​the originally crowded church hall was emptied.

Their souls were scattered amidst thunder, fire, and golden light.

"Bastard! I'll tear you to pieces!"

Christabella, on the high platform, finally succumbed to madness.

Her voice was no longer human, but had taken on a sharp, trembling quality, like the friction of metal.

Her body began to contort violently.

The gray dress was torn from the inside, revealing disgusting flesh.

She had actually transformed into a monster... whose entire body was covered in a leather-like tissue.

Her head had become a monstrosity, completely pierced and stitched together by sharp metal blades and steel spikes.

He held two huge, sharp folding knives together in his hands.

She is a pure killing machine, extremely fast, and possesses extremely strong defense.

With a sickening cracking sound, Christabella vanished completely.

Instead, there was a person over two meters tall...

A monster whose head is covered by metal blade armor and whose arms extend into menacing longswords.

She leaped suddenly from the pile of embers, moving so fast that she left several afterimages in the air.

Two long swords crossed, aimed straight at Cao Kun's neck.

"clang--!"

Cao Kun reached out, and the long sword slashed at Cao Kun's arm.

boom!

A wave of air spread outwards.

The immense impact caused the altar below to shatter completely.

"That's it...?"

Cao Kun sneered, his figure flashing like lightning as he spun close to the blade.

boom!

Cao Kun threw a punch, and Christabella flew out like a cannonball.

Bang bang bang!

Everything she bumped into instantly turned into pieces.

"Mr. Cao, save Sharon!" Ross cried out in despair from the side.

At this moment, the blockade of the church was broken.

The surrounding walls began to peel off in large pieces, like a snake shedding its skin.

The crimson muscle tissue from the other world began to crawl into the church through the hole.

The monsters that were blocked outside were frantically climbing down the crack in the roof.

"Alessa, why aren't you coming out? When are you going to?"

Cao Kun shouted coldly.

With a cold shout from Cao Kun.

Suddenly, the previously noisy and chaotic church fell into dead silence.

The monsters that were climbing down the hole in the roof suddenly stopped moving, as if a pause button had been pressed.

"Sizzle—"

The rusty barbed wire mesh on the ground directly in front of the altar suddenly tore open on its own, revealing a bottomless red light below.

An extremely strong, pungent smell of blood, mixed with the odor of burning, wafted out from the crack.

Bathed in the red light, a petite figure slowly rose and stood in mid-air.

She was wearing a dark purple dress, and her long black hair hung down on both sides of her face, covering most of it.

Although she looks like a girl of only ten years old, she exudes a sense of oppression...

This caused the monsters from the surrounding underworld to lower their heads and retreat.
