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

Li Yuan called Edward and helped Veronica to her home.

On the way, Li Yuan dialed the girl's mother's number and informed her of the current situation.

Veronica's mother, Anna, did not believe them at first.

"Veronica, Mom is already very tired, can you give me a break?"

Anna sounded very tired on the phone.

Clearly, her husband's unexpected death and the financial burden of raising four children were contributing factors.

This has already left this single mother feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Veronica looked at Li Yuan helplessly, unsure of what to do.

Li Yuan explained helplessly to Anna on the other end of the phone:

"Madam, I am a licensed exorcist with a valid business license."

"The main purpose of my call is to ask for your authorization to enter your home to perform an exorcism."

Upon hearing that Li Yuan was a legitimate exorcist and hearing about his request for authorization,

Anna's resistance lessened somewhat, but she still asked with some concern:

"So... is it expensive?"

Li Yuan stopped Veronica from speaking and spoke first:

"Someone has already paid, and we won't charge if the exorcism fails."

"Alright then..."

Anna hesitated for a moment and said:

"My tavern is in Boyle, Veronica knows the location."

Li Yuan hung up the phone, turned to Edward, and muttered a complaint in a low voice:

"That's why I don't like taking on these kinds of jobs; they're just too much trouble."

Veronica, who was sitting in the back, felt a little embarrassed when she heard Li Yuan's words.

She whispered to Li Yuan, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Li Yuan, for causing you trouble."

"It's okay, just remember not to play this kind of game again."

Li Yuan gazed at the rapidly receding street scene outside the window and said meaningfully:

"This is not a safe world."

The car soon arrived at the community, which was mostly inhabited by Hispanic immigrants.

Li Yuan led Veronica into Anna's tavern.

When Li Yuan entered the tavern, he found that business seemed to be doing quite well.

Perhaps it's because the surrounding area is full of Spanish immigrants.

People were already drinking in the tavern during the day.

When he saw that Veronica's complexion was indeed very bad,

Anna finally believed her daughter's words.

She walked over worriedly and hugged her daughter.

He handed a handwritten authorization document to Li Yuan and said:

"Mr. Li, I'm very sorry."

Li Yuan took the document, glanced at it briefly, and after confirming there were no problems, urged:

"Let's go, let's take care of it as soon as possible."

Li Yuan was quite confident in dealing with these low-level demons or vengeful spirits.

Anna looked at her daughter, who was following behind Li Yuan and preparing to leave, and suddenly asked:

"Can I come along?"

Li Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this: "Of course you can."

Meanwhile, he thought to himself, "If you had said you were coming along, we wouldn't have needed these authorization letters."

Anna quickly nodded and called over the shop's regular customers, asking them to help watch the shop.

They then followed Li Yuan and his group to his home.

No one was home at Anna's house at that time.

Veronica has already sent all the children to school.

As the group walked up to the apartment building, they found their downstairs neighbor standing at the door, knocking.

At the same time, he shouted, "Open the door!"

Anna looked at her downstairs neighbor and asked in confusion:

"What happened?"

The neighbor, looking annoyed, pointed at Anna's front door, his tone full of impatience:

"It's incredibly noisy inside, with things being smashed and strange noises. I knocked on the door for ages but no one answered!"

Anna and Veronica exchanged a glance and said in surprise:

"No one's home? The children have all gone to school."

The neighbor was taken aback upon hearing this, then whispered:

"Could it be that a thief broke in?"

At this moment, Li Yuan spoke up, "Open the door, I'll handle it."

It seems the demon, having failed to steal Veronica's soul, is somewhat enraged.

They actually started vandalizing the girl's house...

Anna nodded, and cautiously took out her key and inserted it into the keyhole.

The moment the door opened, Li Yuan activated the [Seal of Justice] and stepped into the apartment.

As soon as Li Yuan stepped into the room, he saw a table suddenly fly towards him!

Li Yuan quickly dodged the flying table.

With a "crack," the table smashed against the wall outside the door and shattered into pieces.

The powerful force made the people outside the door tremble.

"You despicable exorcist, die!"

The pitch-black demon with no facial features let out a low roar and lunged at Li Yuan.

It turned out that while Li Yuan was distracted and trying to avoid the table, the demon's figure had already quietly circled around to his side.

Seeing this, Li Yuan was not afraid at all. He slid the oak hammer into his hand and swung it at the demon that was rushing towards him!

"Thump—!"

Although this is just a projection of a demon from hell.

But Li Yuan still felt an unprecedented resistance in his hand.

It's no longer as simple as dealing with vengeful spirits and bound ghosts as before.

This guy is even more formidable than the ones we've encountered before!

"ah--!"

The demon roared as it flew backward, a wisp of black smoke rising from its forehead.

The black skin, flowing like liquid, quickly covered the wound.

"Exorcist, you can't kill me."

The demon's pitch-black face gradually transformed into the appearance of a man.

A sinister smile spread across his face as he said to Li Yuan:

"You're wasting your energy."

Curious Veronica, standing outside the door, caught a glimpse of the man's face.

She covered her mouth and gasped softly:

"dad..."

The moment the demon heard the call, he looked at Veronica outside the door, and his smile widened.

He twisted his body suddenly, transforming into a cloud of black energy and rushing towards Veronica.

It clearly wants to possess someone again.

Li Yuan wasn't about to give him that chance; he immediately unleashed the [Hammer of Sanction]!

A gigantic, phantom hammer slammed down on the charging demon.

With a muffled thud, the demon's figure crashed to the ground.

"Veronica, close your eyes!"

Li Yuan shouted a warning, then, while the demon was still dizzy,

He smashed a bottle of holy water over there.

With a sharp crack, the holy water bottle shattered on the ground.

The splashing holy water all drenched the demon.

"Well--!"

The demon roared in pain, and black smoke rose from its body once more.

Veronica was so frightened that she immediately closed her eyes.

Anna pulled her frightened daughter into a tight embrace.

Li Yuan slowly walked over, raised his hammer, and smashed it down on the roaring demon.

'Bang, bang, bang!'

Li Yuan's hammer rained down like bullets.

The demon, enduring the scorching heat of the holy light, cursed angrily:

"It's no use, you pathetic exorcist!"

This is just a projection of myself. I'll be back. She can't escape!

"Fuck you!"

Li Yuan retorted fiercely, "I'll kill you every time you come!"

With each hammer blow from Li Yuan, the demon's body gradually became transparent, and it seemed it was about to be completely banished from this world.

But even in these final moments, the demon continued to roar:

"She's mine, hahaha, she's mine!"

Li Yuan angrily delivered the final blow.

The demon's figure finally disappeared from sight.

However, he did not hear any notification to kill the demon.

Li Yuan straightened up, frowning as he pondered, "This won't do. I can't stay by Veronica's side forever."

"We need to find a way to go to hell!"

Li Yuan gripped the hammer in his hand tightly.
