I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Upon seeing the scene before him, Li Yuan felt a sudden alarm bell ring in his heart!

The opponent is already this difficult to deal with just because they consumed one person's energy.

If I could eat another one, how strong would I have to be?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan dared not delay.

Unleash the control skill [Hammer of Retribution] again!

The phantom of the giant hammer struck the demon once again, who had no time to spare.

A sudden wave of intense dizziness brought the demon, who was about to eat, to a halt.

The tightening tentacles unconsciously and naturally loosened.

The bound man slid down.

With a thud, the man fell to the ground, his eyes wide and his face blank.

Although his life was saved, his mental state...

It appears that a serious problem has arisen.

Li Yuan continued working, unleashing the [Exorcism Spell] once more!

Perhaps because the distance was a bit greater this time, the accuracy of the exorcism was somewhat lacking.

It only hit the demon's abdomen.

'Bang—'

The demon's abdomen was also blasted open by divine energy.

The food she had just eaten in the basement spilled all over the floor!

In an instant, a foul stench permeated the entire warehouse area.

"Ah—! You foolish human! How dare you harm my vessel!"

The demon's roar was mixed with static, like a radio being jammed, clearly indicating that it was at its last gasp.

Hearing the demon's roar, Li Yuan guessed in his heart:

To completely destroy this demon, you must attack the core of that mass of tentacles.

Because besides those tentacles...

All other exposed human skin is merely part of the container.

In the two breaths of thought in my mind

Li Yuan's figure rushed towards the demon like a cheetah.

This time, Li Yuan did not use a chopping motion.

Instead, he thrust his sword forward directly!

The weakened demon, perhaps lacking the energy to teleport, was perhaps unable to do so.

Still couldn't react.

Li Yuan pierced him through with a single sword strike, pinning him firmly to the wall!

*Pfft—*

Black blood slowly flowed down the blade.

All of it was absorbed by the Brotherhood Sword, its blood-red blade!

Li Yuan flipped his hand and took out a bottle of medium-grade, high-concentration holy water.

It slammed violently onto the demon.

The demon intended to retaliate with her countless tentacles.

But as the holy water burned, it emitted plumes of black smoke and began to tremble violently.

A mournful wail also came from the demon's chest!

"You lackey of God! I curse you; you will one day become a slave to hell!"

[Ding! The other party attempted to cast a curse on you, but their level was insufficient, and the curse failed!]

Li Yuan curled his lip and sneered:

"Ha, you're not worthy to curse me. Say goodbye to hell."

As he spoke, Li Yuan pointed his right hand directly at the core of the chest cavity where the tentacles originated, instantly activating the [Judgment] skill!

In an instant, Li Yuan's eyes shone with a majestic holy light, and the hem of his clothes and strands of his hair swayed without wind.

Li Yuan gazed at the demon nailed to the wall and chanted in a deep voice:

"You filthy thing, the Holy Light has come and purified everything!"

Demon! Prepare for your final judgment!

As Li Yuan finished speaking,

A beam of light shot straight up and enveloped the demon!

Under the intense scorching of holy light

The demon's body emitted a sizzling sound, like a branding iron!

As large plumes of black smoke billowed out, the demon's wailing gradually became distorted.

Like a demonic sound, it echoed throughout the entire warehouse area.

The people who were sorting through their spoils in the warehouse area heard the demon's wails.

They all involuntarily covered their ears, revealing expressions of pain.

Within a short while, blood began to flow from his mouth and nose.

They all collapsed to the ground and passed out.

Li Yuan pinned the demon against the wall with all his might.

They wouldn't let her escape the holy light.

As the black smoke grew thicker, the demon's struggles grew weaker and weaker.

After a long time, until the holy light completely dissipated,

The system's kill notification sounded in Li Yuan's ears:

[Ding! Slayed A+ Rank Forbidden Contract Demon: Belos! Gained 8 Holy Light Points and 800 Experience Points!]

"Splash—"

As the notification tone ended, the demon's corpse turned into a pile of decaying bones.

There was no flesh or blood on it, only a thin skin.

Li Yuan stared at the pile of bones in silence for a long time.

He didn't know who the original owner of the container was.

I suppose he was a pitiful person who was sacrificed.

Li Yuan pulled the Brotherhood sword from the wall and stored it in his spatial storage.

Then he looked at the man lying on the ground, his face blank.

His body had no external injuries, but his unresponsive eyes indicated that...

His soul is probably no longer whole.

Li Yuan shook his head and walked towards Eddie's office.

He has to take this surveillance video with him.

At this moment, in the office on the second floor,

Eddie was wearing headphones, listening intently to his jazz music.

He was completely unaware of what was happening on the first floor.

Eddie didn't notice Li Yuan's arrival until he walked right up to him.

Li Yuan patted Eddie's arm with some annoyance and said in a low voice:

"Hey, take your headphones off."

"what?"

Eddie was so startled that he shuddered and quickly took off his headphones.

Eddie was relieved when he saw it was Li Yuan.

He smiled and asked Li Yuan:

"Sir, how's the fun? Did you find anything good?"

"Unfortunately, there wasn't much of good stuff."

Li Yuan looked at Eddie with a stern face and continued:

"I need to take the warehouse's surveillance footage from today."

"What?"

Eddie was a little stunned; this was the first time someone had made such a request.

Eddie frowned and said:

"This...this is against the rules..."

Li Yuan stared at Eddie expressionlessly and slowly said:

Do you think I'm discussing this with you?

Eddie was speechless at Li Yuan's words. Looking into Li Yuan's eyes, and recalling that roll of money...

He finally nodded reluctantly and asked in a low voice:

"Just today's?"

"Yes, if you don't want to get into trouble, don't try anything funny."

Eddie looked at Li Yuan's cold eyes.

I had no choice but to obediently take the videotapes out of the monitoring host and hand them over.

Li Yuan remained silent, and instead put the videotape away.

He nodded to Eddie and slowly walked out of the office.

Eddie watched Li Yuan's departing figure and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Who exactly is this guy? What does he need the videotape for?"

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly ran towards the warehouse.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Damn it! Did this guy kill someone here?"

Moments later, when Eddie arrived at the warehouse,

Seeing the chaotic scene before him, he was stunned.

Li Yuan, meanwhile, had already driven away from the parking lot.

On the way back, Li Yuan played with the Judah silver coin.

He pondered the demon he had encountered that day.

That guy wasn't a demon from hell, nor a demon from the spirit world.

The book of demons only recorded how it descended, but did not explain its origin.

This discovery made Li Yuan somewhat worried.

Because the unknown often represents uncontrollable danger.

Fortunately, Li Yuan handled this situation fairly well this time.

Before he died, the other person only tried to curse him.

There was no higher-level summoning or marking.

Li Yuan, feeling unsettled, sighed.

I called Devin and told him he wouldn't be coming home tonight.

He then called Pepper and asked her to have dinner with him that evening.

Pepper was very happy to receive Li Yuan's call.

She said with great interest:

"Great, Li Yuan, I was just about to ask you for help."

"Oh? What's wrong, Pepper? Have you run into some trouble?"

"No, I don't need that much trouble!"

Pepper chuckled softly and said to Li Yuan:

"You go first, we can talk again at dinner."
