American Exorcism Male God

The shadow of the Black Void Gate enveloped the Sugar Plum Fairy, and the old-fashioned record player in the hall resumed normal function, with the music no longer cutting in and out.

The Sugar Plum Fairy took a slow step backward, breaking free from the control of the Soul Gate.

In the end, it was the Black Void Gate that claimed victory in this battle, for its connection with the Sugar Plum Fairy was closer and more easily influenced.

"Don't be reluctant, after this mission is over, I will compensate you with resources, along with the others," the Lizard Dragon suddenly spoke in a soft voice.

The Crow Man hesitated no longer, took out a clump of Soul Elixir, and tossed it towards the Soul Gate.

The Soul Gate absorbed the new Soul Elixir, and the blood-red light on its door flickered rapidly. The crack of the door widened slightly, and an even more powerful suppression enveloped the entire area.

Xu Yi's complexion changed slightly. He had believed that the suppression he felt just now was already the limit of the Soul Gate, but the current scene made him realize that was just the tip of the iceberg.

The more the door opened, the stronger the power of the Soul Gate became.

The Black Void Gate was collapsing, on the verge of falling apart, and the body of the Sugar Plum Fairy trembled violently.

After all, the Black Void Gate here was only a projection and stood no chance against the actual Soul Gate—it was only to be expected.

The Sugar Plum Fairy was not powerful enough to summon the true form of the Black Void Gate over.

With the Fairy retreating slowly towards the Soul Gate, Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the Ring of Destruction also didn't want any complications and was focused on securing its gains as soon as possible. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

Though he hadn't been able to devour the Origin of "Envy" or stop the plans of the Ring of Destruction, at least the losses weren't great.

When something as "bug-level" as the Soul Gate appeared, Xu Yi had already prepared for the worst.

The footsteps suddenly ceased, and Xu Yi looked towards the Sugar Plum Fairy in astonishment.

The Sugar Plum Fairy suddenly turned back, charging towards Carrie. Unlike its previous slow steps, this time it was a frantic sprint.

Had the Ring of Destruction suddenly changed its mind, deciding to deal him a spiteful blow before leaving?

But why target Carrie instead of him? Was it wary of Carrie's Talent?

Xu Yi couldn't figure it out, and he had no time left to think.

Because of the Black Void Gate, the Soul Gate's suppression weakened for an instant, and Xu Yi burned a large amount of blood at once, finally breaking through the suppression and rushing towards Carrie.

He had only taken two steps when the suppression descended once more, and Xu Yi's speed was slow as a snail's crawl.

It was too late to stop it, and Xu Yi prepared to use the Resurrection Coin, but the next second, his eyes widened in shock.@@novelbin@@

Carrie held the Alchemical Revolver Messiah in her right hand and clutched the "Envy" Sin Remains in her left. The "blade" of the Sin Remains faced forward.

The reason for her grip was to draw the blade quickly in case of danger.

This was her achievement after specialized training at the Eight Monster House.

But due to the suppression of the Soul Gate, she had been stuck in this posture the whole time.

The Sugar Plum Fairy charged at Carrie not to bite her face, but to let its body slam into the blade of "Envy" Sin Remains!

The Sin Remains stabbed into the Sugar Plum Fairy's chest, and thick black blood flowed out.

Under the suppression of the Soul Gate, Xu Yi had difficulty even protecting himself, let alone controlling the Sin Remains to perform the "Flying Dagger" technique.

But activating the Sin Remains to devour the Origin of "Envy" was still no issue.

The black and gold Sin Remains vibrated, continuously devouring the Origin of "Envy."

Xu Yi had never experienced such a smooth sensation; previous extractions of the Origin had always been like squeezing toothpaste, because the hosts of the Source of Sin would desperately resist, but the Sugar Plum Fairy before him was actually cooperating.

The other side was hell-bent on dying!

Xu Yi could finally confirm one thing—the Sugar Plum Fairy must still retain some memories from its life, having not completely fallen and turned into a creature acting solely on instinct.

The other side didn't want to become a Puppet of the Soul Gate and lose its last bit of rationality, so it chose the most resolute method.

Suicide!

The watching Lizard Dragon let out an angry roar, and panic flashed in the eyes of the Crow Man.

When they saw the Sugar Plum Fairy suddenly turn back, they knew something was wrong, but they couldn't directly control the Soul Gate; they could only watch as everything unfolded.

The price for summoning the Soul Gate was even more exaggerated than they thought—two clumps of Soul Elixir was just what was visible on the surface. Privately, they had to sacrifice something far more precious.

Having paid such a high price, if they were to also lose the Origin of "Envy," they would probably sustain an unbearable loss.

What was worst was that they could do nothing but hope the Soul Gate would exert its power now.

The countless faces on the door suddenly moved, emitting a silent roar in unison.

The Soul Gate was enraged, and an icy breath swept through like a tsunami. The already precarious Black Void Gate now flickered like a candle in the wind, on the verge of shattering.

"There's not enough time!" Xu Yi sighed in regret.

Even with the Sugar Plum Fairy's cooperation, it still took time to consume the Source of Sin, and so far, only a fifth had been devoured.

The Sugar Plum Fairy also realized this point. Once the projection of the Black Void Gate vanished, it would no longer have any leverage against the Soul Gate.

It shoved Carrie aside and lunged at Xu Yi with force.

Xu Yi was startled. He had only just gotten close to Carrie, and upon realising that the Sugar Plum Fairy had no intention of harming her, he had stood his ground.

He was now very close to the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Under the suppression of the Soul Gate, he had no means of dodging and could only watch helplessly as the Sugar Plum Fairy pounced on him, sinking its sharpened fangs into Xu Yi's shoulder.

Xu Yi hadn't expected such an unwarranted calamity; he couldn't understand why the Sugar Plum Fairy, before losing control, would still give him such a bite.

They didn't have such a significant grudge, did they?

Dark purple smoke rose from his arm as if it were being eroded by sulfuric acid, and Xu Yi's face twisted in agony.

The pain was unbearable! It was too excruciating!

Even being bisected or beheaded hadn't felt as painful as this. Since acquiring the Hyper Accelerated Regeneration Entries, such injuries had become commonplace and he had gradually become accustomed to them.

But now, just a single bite made it feel like he was about to faint from the pain.

The shadow of the Black Void Gate completely dissipated, and the Sugar Plum Fairy, before being fully controlled by the Soul Gate, pushed Xu Yi away.

The next second, the Sugar Plum Fairy's body stiffened on the spot.

"Sis… Sister!" Carrie, realizing what had happened, couldn't stop her tears from falling.

Xu Yi was already considering the matters of the next cycle.

With the projection of the Black Void Gate gone, the Sugar Plum Fairy controlled, and his own blood nearly burnt out, even resisting the Soul Gate's invasion was difficult.

He had no more points of turnaround left.

But just then, the red light flickering on the Soul Gate disappeared, and under an invisible force, the door slowly closed.

"Is this… the energy of the Soul Gate running out?" Joy flashed in Xu Yi's eyes.

He looked towards the Crow Man; if the opponent could produce another orb of Soul Elixir, he would have no choice but to admit defeat.

"What a pity!" the Crow Man sighed inwardly,

He really wanted to keep Xu Yi here forever, but he couldn't do it.

It wasn't just the Soul Elixir that was simple; the main purpose of the Soul Elixir was to protect them from the Soul Gate's attacks while allowing it to exert even greater power.

The true summoning of the Soul Gate was by another item, and the energy of that item was about to run out, with the Soul Gate soon returning to nothingness.

The Sugar Plum Fairy did not attack Xu Yi but walked into the Soul Gate with big strides, as the door slowly closed behind it.

A thick gray mist surged towards the Soul Gate, and moments later, the mist, along with the Soul Gate, disappeared.

Everyone regained mobility; the Crow Man and the Lizard Dragon turned their heads to stare at Xu Yi, their pupils flickering with dangerous light.

Xu Yi quickly called out to his father, and flames reignited in the eyes of the Ghost Samurai, who stood with his sword in front of Xu Yi.

Carrie reached out to support the tottering Xu Yi, and he took the Alchemical Revolver Messiah, silently hiding it behind him, and feigned extreme weakness, as if he was about to pass out.

Although he was seriously injured and his blood was nearly exhausted, honestly, they were the ones with the upper hand.

The reason lay in the Alchemy Revolver he held.

Inside the chamber of the Alchemy Revolver, there were still three Keres bullets.

This weapon in his hand, compared to in Carrie's, was like two different arms altogether.

With the "Shadow Gun God" Entries, he could maximise the weapon's potential.

"The Ghost Samurai is definitely not a match for those two. Once they gain the upper hand and let their guard down, I'll sneak in that shot… Then, with the enhancements from 'Silent Domain' and 'Bullet Trajectory,' there's a great chance of hitting their core."

Xu Yi had already scripted the scenario in his mind.

Unfortunately, the Ghost Samurai and the Lizard Dragon didn't take the bait; they merely glanced at the hand in which Xu Yi hid the Alchemical Revolver and silently turned to leave.

"What a pity, such a perfect script!" Xu Yi let out a sigh, watching them leave.

A sneak attack might have worked, but if the opponent was already on guard, the effect might not be as good. Xu Yi wasn't willing to waste the Keres bullets.
