American Exorcism Male God

Xu Yi stared at the mechanical arm, feeling the vast expanse of ancient years from it.

His pupils suddenly constricted as the part of the Angry Tree grasped by the metallic arm withered at a visible speed, like a sugarcane strip drained of its juice.

This withering spread to other parts of the Angry Tree like a plague.

The life force of the Angry Tree was being devoured continuously, and it let out a fox-like wail, its body trembling in agony while its numerous branches violently beat against the Metal Coffin.

The Metal Coffin, seemingly rusty and old, was extraordinarily robust, showing no signs of cracking.

The space below the corridor was empty except for the bodies of the members of the Ring of Destruction scattered on the ground. The Angry Tree grabbed the corpses from the ground, tearing some into pieces, while tossing others into the air.

Xu Yi dodged bodies thrown from below. Observing the dire state of the Angry Tree, he felt a bit relieved; it was fortunate that he hadn't recklessly approached the Metal Coffin earlier.@@novelbin@@

As the "Angry Tree" vented, the houses above the corridor were also littered with corpses and sticky blood everywhere.

Xu Yi focused on the bodies on the floor, his eyes flickering with contemplative light.

"Quickly change into these black robes!"

A plan slowly took shape in Xu Yi's mind, and he spoke urgently.

Maria and Carrie didn't ask why; they took off their original hooded long coats without disgust for the bloodstains on the black robes and quickly changed into them.

Xu Yi threw the two corpses into the toy space and took out two potions, injecting one into each person.

After the injections, the two rapidly "died."

He had injected them with a death-feigning potion. As long as they did not move on their own, for the next ten minutes, they would all be "dead."

Xu Yi scanned the room to confirm their position, then moved the two to a dark corner while placing their weapons at their side.

"Pride" and "Envy," these two weapons, were pitch-black and emitted no fluctuations when not activated. It would be difficult to notice them in the dark environment.

Once everything was in place, Xu Yi slipped into the shadows, waiting for a "lucky one."

Below, the Angry Tree had withered by half, but Xu Yi had no intention of snatching food from the tiger's mouth.

He was in no hurry; after all, it was only the life force of the Angry Tree being sucked away, not its Origin.

The more the life force of the Angry Tree was drained, the weaker it became, and the easier it would be for him to act afterward.

He wasn't rushed, but he knew others were.

...

The Silver Giant Ape smashed through the rooftop of the house and hurriedly made its way to the underground corridor.

It had been pleased when black currents had surged into the sky earlier, taking it as a sign that the Knight of Destruction had been successfully awakened.

But when they heard the fox-like screams, they knew something was wrong.

They had brought the Angry Tree here to open the Gate of Truth, which required the tree to retain enough energy within its body.

Knowing the abilities of the Knight of Destruction, after the Angry Tree was ravaged by it, even if it didn't die, it would be severely weakened, how could it be used to open the Gate of Truth?

The roar of the Lizard Dragon kept coming from outside; they were hard-pressed to deal with the Behemoth even when working together, let alone the Lizard Dragon alone.

Currently, the Lizard Dragon had activated the "Black Prison mode," forcibly boosting its combat power in order to hold the Behemoth at bay.

Thus, from any perspective, it needed to speed up.

It took out a hollow metal tetrahedron, and its fingertip split open, revealing an extremely fine metal injector.

The injector automatically extended, and a drop of bright red blood fell onto the metal tetrahedron.

At the center of the tetrahedron was a rust-red gyroscope that, upon absorbing the blood, began spinning rapidly, emitting a humming sound.

As he arrived above the tunnels, he glanced at the bodies scattered around, paying them no heed.

These were merely peripheral members of the Ring of Destruction; they died for the ideal of a "new world," a fitting end.

In the dark corner overlooked by the Silver Giant Ape, Xu Yi slowly opened the Magic-Prohibiting Box. He eyed the silhouette of the Silver Giant Ape, his gaze that of a hunter's.

His right hand had already been wearing a glove, a special isolation glove prepared for concealing his presence.

The "Gluttony" dagger was coated in a thick, black liquid and lay quietly inside the Magic-Prohibiting Box.

The black liquid was not any kind of poison, just a very "friendly" energy transfer potion with no toxicity at all.

The Silver Giant Ape had its back to him, only ten meters away—he knew the moment had come!

A massive amount of blood burned within his body; "Blood as Sacred" fully unleashed, Xu Yi burst forth at extreme speed, lunging towards the Silver Giant Ape.

The Silver Giant Ape sensed the movement behind it and sneered inwardly.

Did it really think he was unprepared? Did it really think he was oblivious to why things below had turned out this way?

Although he was in a hurry, he had been vigilant of every little movement around him.

He spun around abruptly, his metal arm emitting a thick red steam, blocking the dagger.

A flash of "panic" crossed Xu Yi's face; it seemed that after his sneak attack was exposed, he was somewhat at a loss.

He swung the dagger wildly, the collision with the opponent's metal producing a piercing noise.

The Silver Giant Ape's nostrils spewed two streams of red steam, its body glowing red. It swung its fist fiercely, the heavy punch hitting Xu Yi's chest with great force.

Xu Yi was sent flying into the wall, wood chips flying everywhere.

Under the cover of the wood chips, Xu Yi quickly threw the dagger back into the Magic-Prohibiting Box, which he closed and withdrew into his toy space.

He also took off the glove on his right hand and flung it at the Silver Giant Ape.

The Silver Giant Ape, thinking Xu Yi had thrown some kind of lethal weapon, shifted to the side to dodge it.

When it realized it was just a common glove, it caught it subconsciously.

In the era in which he lived, knightly honor was still revered; when someone threw a glove at you, it signified a challenge and an insult.

If you didn't dare to catch it, it meant cowardice and evasion, so he caught it out of a conditioned reflex.

Xu Yi was slightly taken aback; he had thrown the glove simply to get rid of the True God's aura.

He had thought that even if the glove was torn apart, it could contaminate the opponent with some of the True God's essence. He had not expected the opponent to catch it outright.

What was this move?

While both were momentarily stunned, the roof suddenly broke open, and the Behemoth descended from the sky with boundless rage. Its myriad tentacles surged towards the Silver Giant Ape, each tentacle emanating scorching white energy flows.

The Silver Giant Ape couldn't understand why the Behemoth had suddenly abandoned the Lizard Dragon and was coming straight for him, bringing with it an overwhelming fury.

Could it be because of the glove? The Silver Giant Ape looked down at the glove in his hand instinctively.

This was the Behemoth's furious blow, its full-powered attack. The Silver Giant Ape could not dodge and could barely take a defensive stance, protecting the core in its chest.

White tentacles pierced through the metal body of the Silver Giant Ape, and large quantities of steam sprayed from the wounds.

The Silver Giant Ape began to shake violently, the light in its pupils flickering on and off.

Being pierced was not fatal, but what was deadly was a special vibration spreading from those tentacles into its body, approaching the core in the chest.

If left unchecked, this reincarnated machinery would be completely destroyed, and even its soul could be damaged.

A dark shadow suddenly rushed in, enshrouded in black energy flows; the Lizard Dragon had finally escaped the besieging army of monsters outside and had come to the rescue.

The Lizard Dragon opened its mouth wide, and inside, a black orb cracked open, forming a metal flower.

The Metal Flower spun, and a violent black energy flow surged out; the Lizard Dragon exhaled a black "Dragon Breath."

The "Dragon Breath," like a sharp sword, managed to sever the Behemoth's tentacles in one fell swoop, but after releasing the Dragon Breath, the Lizard Dragon visibly weakened.

Still, it exerted its last strength, charging at the Behemoth and dragging it away from there, giving the Silver Giant Ape time to recover.

In the ignored shadows, Xu Yi took out the Alchemical Revolver Messiah, his eyes fixed on the trembling Silver Giant Ape. He knew the time had come!
