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

"boom--!"

When Cao Kun's foot landed, it felt as if the entire house jumped.

Countless purple lightning bolts spread wildly from the soles of his feet, along the floor, walls, and ceiling.

The lightning intertwined with the golden light on his body, transforming into a powerful and yang torrent that swept outwards in all directions from its center.

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

The thick, inky darkness around them, washed over by this torrent, produced a sizzling sound like raw meat being thrown into a frying pan.

That suffocating, chilling aura was instantly evaporated by more than half.

"ah--!"

From the depths of darkness came a piercing scream.

The voice was shrill, filled with pain and anger.

Cao Kun's eyes, burning with purple-gold flames, narrowed sharply, his gaze instantly locking onto the source of the sound.

To the left front, in the corner of the ceiling.

"I've found you."

Cao Kun snorted coldly.

His massive body left an afterimage in the same spot.

Shrinking the earth to an inch!

In the next instant, he had already traversed the distance of space and appeared directly in front of the still distorting black shadow.

There were no fancy moves.

Cao Kun swung his fist, which was larger than a millstone and was wrapped in dazzling lightning and golden light, and slammed it down heavily on the pale nun's face.

"Die!"

"Thump—!"

The punch seemed to have struck a solid steel plate, producing a dull, loud thud.

Even the surrounding space rippled with visible waves.

Valak's ferocious face instantly deformed and shattered under the blow of the fist.

Immediately afterwards, its entire body exploded with a "bang," just like scattered smoke.

It transformed into countless wisps of black smoke, quickly merging into the surrounding darkness that had not yet dissipated.

Cao Kun withdrew his fist, his brows furrowing slightly.

The surrounding darkness did not dissipate because of this punch; instead, it seemed to be enraged and churned even more violently.

In my mind, the system was completely silent.

There was no notification sound.

"He's still alive."

Cao Kun looked at the re-aggregated darkness without much surprise.

If one of the seventy-two demons of Solomon could be so easily killed with a single punch, then the title of demon would be worthless.

"hide?"

Cao Kun took a deep breath, his massive chest bulging high.

He opened his mouth wide as he faced the churning darkness.

"roar--!"

The Soul-Suppressing Daoist Sound!

This roar was not like a human voice, but rather like the howl of an ancient thunder dragon.

The terrifying sound waves, mixed with magical power, transformed into a fan-shaped shockwave that crashed violently into the darkness.

"Buzz—"

The darkness, which was originally as smooth as a fluid, began to churn violently like boiling water under the impact of the sound waves.

"Well……"

From a dark corner came a muffled groan that was extremely suppressed.

Although the sound was very soft, it was as clear as a lighthouse in the dark in Cao Kun's consciousness.

"Got you?"

A glint of light flashed in Cao Kun's eyes.

He took a step forward, and his figure disappeared again.

Cao Kun's figure solidified in the darkness.

The black mist ahead stopped churning and instead rapidly collapsed and condensed towards the center.

The iconic black and white nun's habit is gone.

Instead, a more bizarre and unsettling silhouette emerged.

It was the figure of a child, with a pair of jet-black wings that looked like charred angel wings spread out from behind.

Beneath this child rode a two-headed dragon made entirely of black smoke.

There are no facial features, and no specific body details.

It was like a silhouette, but the pressure emanating from this silhouette was several times stronger than that of the nun form from before.

That was Valak's true form—an angelic child riding a two-headed dragon.

"Easterners".

The child-like figure spoke.

The sound was no longer the previous cold, shrill cry, but had transformed into a resonant, heavy tone, as if countless people were speaking simultaneously:

"I admit, I underestimated you."

You're the first person to force me to reveal my true colors.

But you will still die today!

Before the words were finished, the two-headed dragon made of black smoke suddenly opened its huge mouth.

"call--!"

Two jets of black flame, like high-pressure water guns, sprayed towards Cao Kun.

That wasn't ordinary fire; it was hellfire that could directly burn the soul.

"Playing with fire?"

Instead of retreating, Cao Kun advanced, his three-meter-tall giant body crashing directly into the black flames.

"You don't deserve it!"

The golden light around him clashed with the black flames, producing a sizzling sound.

The black fire was completely unable to penetrate the thick protective golden light.

Cao Kun stepped across the sea of ​​fire, and the giant hand, crackling with lightning, grabbed at one of the dragon's heads.

"Cut it off!"

"puff!"

There is no sense of obstruction from flesh and blood.

Cao Kun's hand felt like it had been plunged into a lump of sticky glue.

But the lightning energy in his palm erupted instantly.

"boom!"

The dragon head was blown into a cloud of black fluff.

"roar--!"

The remaining dragon head let out an angry roar, and its wings flapped violently behind it.

Countless black feathers transformed into sharp blades, raining down on Cao Kun's vital points.

"Jingle bells!"

The sharp blade struck Cao Kun's glass-like skin, sparks flying, but not even a white mark was left.

"Too weak!"

Cao Kun's large hand reached out again, this time grabbing directly at the child riding on the dragon's back.

"Thunder Department Command, Tremor!"

In Cao Kun's palm, the phantom image of an ancient token flashed and disappeared.

"Snap!"

A bolt of purple lightning struck the child's head without warning.

Valak's true form didn't even have time to dodge before being struck squarely by the lightning.

"Bang!"

The child, along with the remaining half of the dragon's body, instantly disintegrated, exploding into a chaotic cloud of black mist.

However, the next second.

The black mist, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, quickly gathered towards the center.

In the blink of an eye, the image of the child riding the two-headed dragon reappeared intact in the same spot.

"I said, here, I am immortal."

Valak's voice carried a hint of smugness. Although its aura was weaker than before, its recovery speed was astonishing.

"Immortal?"

Cao Kun sneered and disappeared again.

"Bang!"

Valak's newly formed body was once again shattered by a fist that reached out from the void.

This time, Cao Kun did not stop.

His enormous body moved as fast as a golden lightning bolt in the narrow, dark space.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Every time Valak had just condensed into form, it was met with a powerful punch carrying the force of thunder.

Or perhaps it was a rain of swords transformed from the Great Zhou Heavenly Copper Coin Sword, capable of annihilating them.

In just over ten seconds.

Valak was destroyed eight times.

The two-headed dragon was reduced to a one-headed dragon, and then to a headless snake.

The child's image was beaten until he was missing arms and legs, and sometimes only a blurry torso remained.

The dark space was filled with the deafening roar of lightning and the muffled sounds of black energy disintegrating.

"ah--!"

After being destroyed for the ninth time, the newly formed Valak finally let out a furious scream.

Its form was noticeably thinner than before, and its oppressive aura had also weakened considerably.

It stopped attacking and instead controlled the two-headed dragon to fly backward, trying to create distance.

You can't kill me!

As long as darkness remains, I can be reborn infinitely!
