American Exorcism Male God

Two adults were holding down a girl, and beside them, another person was scorching their palm with a lighter. If he hadn\'t known they were exorcists, he would\'ve definitely thought it was some criminal gang employing torture for a confession.

But through Xu Yi\'s eyes, it was a completely different picture.

The evil spirit, in the form of a witch, roared in anger behind Lisa. Its neck stretched out long, and its head hung down like a snake, its sharp teeth incessantly gnawing at Lisa\'s body.

Lisa trembled more violently, blood streaming from the corners of her mouth and eyes, her face smeared with it.

Cassie and her husband were heartbroken at the sight of their daughter, with Cassie quietly sobbing.

"Can Lisa really hold on?" Xu Yi\'s heart began to waver.

A warm breeze suddenly blew over him, Xu Yi felt a surge of warmth, and he was a bit puzzled. Where was this warm wind coming from? Could it be the heat from the burning vessel?

His gaze flickered to the burning Witchcraft Tome and realized it wasn\'t right. The tome was burning behind him, but the warmth was coming from in front of him.

The warmth grew stronger, and Xu Yi finally knew its source.

A faint white light enveloped Lisa\'s body, a glow that only Xu Yi could see, the light of a soul.

Under the radiance, the witch let out a pained howl, yet within its blood-red pupils lay a fierce yearning.

Xu Yi\'s eyes widened in surprise.

Lisa\'s Spiritual Perception was extraordinary, not something a common Psychic, or even an ordinary person, would possess.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

In the previous cycle, both the crow and the bulldogs had deliberately avoided Lisa, fearful of harming her body.

Now, seeing the evil spirit\'s yearning gaze, he finally understood why.

The goal of the evil spirit wasn\'t to kill Lisa but to completely possess her body.

Possession is quite demanding, and evil spirits generally are reluctant to undertake such an arduous and thankless task, but there are always exceptions.

If the target possesses a special Talent that fits well with the evil spirit, it will try by all means to possess it.

Lisa likely had the Talent of a witch!

Witches are much rarer and more powerful than Psychics, evident from how the Holy Court treats the two, giving at most a warning to wild Psychics, but for witches, they are well-guarded against, some even being promptly executed by burning at the stake.

Their power could threaten the reign of the Holy Court.

Of course, this is also because the Witchcraft they studied is too dark to be tolerated by the mundane world.

"Why, in the last cycle, did Lisa\'s soul not resist much before being swallowed by the evil spirit?" Xu Yi pondered with new doubts.

He looked at Lisa\'s right hand, tightly wrapped in bandages, with mysterious blood-stained glass shards at the center.

He reached out to touch the bandage, but the next second, quickly retracted his hand.

It felt as if he had touched a glowing red-hot piece of charcoal, the heat was extraordinary.

His palm wasn\'t burnt, nor were the bandages ignited by high heat because it was all just Xu Yi\'s Spiritual Perception at work.

Could it be that Lisa\'s Talent was activated because of the mysterious bloodstain in her palm? Xu Yi felt his guess was close to the truth.

The flames on the Witchcraft Tome had been quietly burning all along, but now suddenly intensified, engulfing the book in an instant, the burning hastening.

What Xu Yi couldn\'t achieve, Lisa had done.

The Witchcraft Tome was already more than half burnt.

The evil spirit\'s soul grew increasingly faint, and once the Vessel was completely burnt, it would vanish entirely.

The witch wailed in agony, its eyes filled with a ghastly green, brimming with madness.

Xu Yi felt a twinge in his heart, sensing something was amiss.

The witch realized it was on the verge of annihilation and no longer harbored hopes of possessing Lisa\'s body but, in its dying moments, wanted to drag Lisa down with it!

Xu Yi\'s heart hung in suspense; he couldn\'t let Lisa be buried with the old witch at any cost.

He planned to negotiate with the entity. As long as it would leave Lisa\'s body, anything could be discussed!

The evil spirit suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a pitch-black shadow crawled out from its depths—it was a black snake, with a ferocious head, blood-red vertical pupils fixed on Lisa, flickering its forked tongue in and out.

If anyone present could see this scene, they would probably scream in terror.

Xu Yi\'s brows were also tightly knitted; fortunately, he had the entry "As Brave as a Barrel" which prevented him from being petrified with fear.

"Let\'s talk this out nicely, no need to get angry at every turn!" Xu Yi coaxed the evil spirit while preparing to extinguish the flames on the Witchcraft Tome.

Only then would the evil spirit possibly abandon its idea of mutual destruction.

The others looked at Xu Yi muttering to himself in confusion, but they soon realized that he must be seeing things they couldn\'t.

The fierce black snake indeed stopped, the witch and the black snake\'s pairs of pupils coldly staring at Xu Yi, exuding bone-chilling hatred.

Xu Yi was well aware that letting the evil spirit go would be akin to a tiger returning to the mountain, but he couldn\'t afford to worry about that now—Lisa\'s safety was more important.

He knocked on the Witchcraft Tome with the iron rod, attempting to put out the fire.

At that moment, a dazzling light suddenly illuminated his eyes; Xu Yi squinted instinctively. The light didn\'t come from the flames but from Lisa\'s right hand, the one wrapped in bandages.

The glare was so piercing it was like the rising sun.

The people around were still unaffected, which made Xu Yi realize this was also a scene perceived by Spiritual Perception.

What was happening? Xu Yi couldn\'t grasp the situation for a moment.

The next second, at the center of the light, golden flames rose from the palm of Lisa\'s right hand. The fire was wholly golden, like flowing lava.

Instantly, the flames became a blazing inferno, rapidly enveloping Lisa.

Lisa\'s eyes opened wide, a flash of golden light passing deep within her pupils, but soon she closed her eyes again and fell back into unconsciousness.

Xu Yi suddenly heard the evil spirit\'s screams of agony. The golden fire also enveloped the witch, and the entity that had wanted a Pyrrhic victory, upon meeting the fire, burned like flammable paper, consumed in an instant.

The black and red Witchcraft Tome burst into flames, startling Ailent who quickly backed away.

The roaring flames gradually died down, leaving only the ash of the burnt book on the ground.

Xu Yi grabbed Lisa\'s wrist. Her skin temperature had returned to normal without the piercing cold, and Lisa was no longer struggling in pain; she lay quietly in her wheelchair, soundly asleep.

"Exorcist sir, does this mean it\'s a success?" Andrew asked tentatively.

After a series of events, he was utterly impressed with Xu Yi and dared not treat him lightly, and even refrained from calling him by name.

Everyone\'s gaze was fixed on Xu Yi, eyes filled with hope.

Xu Yi activated his Spirit Communication Ability and no longer felt the presence of the evil spirit.

"It\'s a success!" Xu Yi exhaled a breath of relief.

Even though the outcome was somewhat surprising to him, in the end, the evil spirit was dealt with.

As his words fell, Cassie\'s family cheered, Ailent needing to maintain his exorcist agent persona, just smiled reservedly—but his clenched fist betrayed his inner excitement.

The reporters from Spiritual Exploration Daily kept clicking their shutters, capturing the scene.

Xu Yi put away his Exorcism Lighter, finally allowing a smile to appear on his lips, while inwardly he was eagerly anticipating.

Such a troublesome evil spirit, he wondered what entries it might provide upon being devoured?

The system\'s voice sounded at the same time.

[Entry Devouring initiated, detection of Otherkind energy intervention, Entry Devouring paused.]
