The exorcism began in America.
Chapter 167 - 167 The Howling of the Evil Spirit
The Bizarre's answer made Chu Feng involuntarily glance at the huge snowman not far away, a sudden understanding dawning in his heart. What puppet? This snowman is clearly a part of this Bizarre!
"So you created so many snowman 'avatars' just to have more so-called family members?" Chu Feng asked.
"Isn't more food good? At this rate, I'll be able to advance again soon!"
The Bizarre's words made Chu Feng's brow furrow tightly. Family? Food? What a load of crap! These 'family members' are clearly provisions this Bizarre plans to use to become an Evil Spirit!
"Now, it's your turn, my dear family member!" The Bizarre's voice was filled with triumph. Turning a powerful Exorcist into a part of itself will definitely make up for its recent losses. "Oh, and you won't be needing this anymore!"
Looking at the Demon Hunting Blade in Chu Feng's hand, a hint of fear flashed in the Bizarre's eyes. This blade had destroyed so many of its snowman 'avatars' that it felt extreme hostility towards this Demon Hunting Blade, capable of annihilating Bizarres.
BANG! A force instantly struck Chu Feng's right hand, the one holding the Demon Hunting Blade, sending the weapon flying.
Seeing that the Bizarre stopped revealing information and instead prepared to attack, Chu Feng naturally wouldn't hold back either.
Berserk!
A powerful Strength suddenly surged from within Chu Feng's body, instantly spreading through his limbs and bones. Chu Feng's somewhat bloodshot eyes fixed on the Bizarre before him, and an unrestrained, savage grin spread across his face.
"You want me to become food?" His muscles trembled slightly, and the Bizarre's confining power around him shattered into pieces, dissipating into the air. "Then I'll send you to your death!"
Reaching out towards the Demon Hunting Blade on the ground, his Telekinesis formed an invisible hand, bringing the Demon Hunting Blade back to Chu Feng's palm.
"How is this possible?" There was shock in the Bizarre's tone. How could an Exorcist who had clearly lost the ability to resist suddenly move again?
Watching Chu Feng wield the Demon Hunting Blade, the Bizarre was no longer concerned with advancing; preserving its life was paramount! Waving its arm, it sacrificed an entire limb again, sending Chu Feng flying.
Then, with a thought, the black robe shrouding its body instantly turned to dust, revealing the mummified husk underneath.
In the next moment, the nearby snowman, which had been struggling, stopped and began to melt rapidly. The snowman wasn't fully cultivated, nor had the final fusion ceremony been performed. It was just crudely swallowing energy, and the waste involved in this process pained the Bizarre greatly.
"Damn Exorcist! This will waste at least half of it! I'll tear you to shreds!" the Bizarre shrieked, its eyes filled with hatred for Chu Feng as it watched the torrent of energy flow towards it from afar.
Meanwhile, Chu Feng, now airborne, flipped his palm. A delicate Array Plate instantly appeared in his hand. He looked at the still-melting snowman in the distance, a smile of anticipation on his face.
"Go!"
The delicate Array Plate flew directly towards the snowman.
THUD! The snowman, still lying on the ground melting, was instantly trapped beneath a transparent dome formed by the Four Symbols Spirit Trapping Formation. The torrent of energy surging across the ground was thus also sealed by the Spirit Trapping Formation beside the snowman.
"FUCK! Damn Exorcist!" Looking at the familiar barrier before it, the Bizarre seemed to lose its mind. "That's my energy! Mine!"
The Bizarre, which had just regained some mobility thanks to a small amount of energy from the melting snowman, had now completely lost its sanity.
"Yours? So what?" Hovering in mid-air, Chu Feng twirled his Demon Hunting Blade with a flourish and sneered down at the Bizarre below. "Since you've delivered this vulnerability right to my doorstep, I'll gladly accept it!"
"Give it back to me! Give it back to me!..." With a hoarse roar, the Bizarre appeared at the edge of the Spirit Trapping Formation, its newly recovered hands frantically pounding the barrier.
With dull THUMPS, ripples spread across the barrier, yet it remained steadfast.
Inside the Four Symbols Spirit Trapping Formation, the snowman had now reformed and stood up. It roared at its main body, separated by just a wall, and its form began to rapidly expand. It looked like it wanted to burst out of this cage imprisoning it.
BAM! Chu Feng descended from the sky, kicking the diminutive Bizarre—which was solely focused on striking the barrier—to the ground and pinning it underfoot. Spiritual Power flowed from his foot, instantly surging into the Bizarre's body.
Amidst corrosive SIZZLING, wisps of black smoke emanated from the Bizarre's body. In the blink of an eye, it lost the ability to resist.
Glancing at the snowman inside the Spirit Trapping Formation, which was struggling against the barrier, Chu Feng flicked his Demon Hunting Blade. One of the Bizarre's withered arms flew into the air.
"This was the hand, right? That felt good, didn't it?"
"Oh, and this one too. Wasn't it already sacrificed? Why did it grow back?" As he spoke, another flash of the blade, and the Bizarre's other arm was swiftly severed from its body.
"Exorcist, let it out! It's not too late for you to be arrogant after..."
Perhaps the intense pain brought the Bizarre back to its senses. It finally stopped staring at the snowman inside the Spirit Trapping Formation and turned its venomous gaze towards Chu Feng.
"Do you think I'm as foolish as you, idiot?" The mockery in Chu Feng's eyes drove the Bizarre further into a frenzy, its body writhing on the ground.
This is a perfect chance to test the Soul Refining Technique I just obtained...
Watching the strange light in Chu Feng's eyes and his slowly outstretched right hand, an extreme fear suddenly gripped the Bizarre's heart.
"What is that thing? Take it away! Take it away!"
The silver-white flame in Chu Feng's hand looked inconspicuous, but as it approached, the Bizarre's Soul Body trembled violently.
"In such cold weather, and you're not even wearing clothes. So, I've decided to help warm you by the fire!" Chu Feng said. "Come on in!"
As Chu Feng lifted his foot off the Bizarre, an immense and strange gravitational force acted upon it. Although this force was powerful, none of the surrounding objects reacted; not even the light snowflakes moved an inch. This was all due to the peculiar nature of the Soul Refining Technique; under Chu Feng's will, this gravitational force affected only the Bizarre.
The Bizarre on the ground tried to resist, but having lost its strength, all its efforts were futile. Its body slowly floated upwards, shrinking rapidly as it neared Chu Feng's right hand.
In the blink of an eye, the Bizarre was sucked into a fleeting, silver-white crucible.
"URGH... AHHHHH!" The Bizarre's agonized and wretched screams instantly echoed from Chu Feng's right hand, bringing an unconscious, satisfied smile to his lips.
He turned his head. Inside the nearby Four Symbols Spirit Trapping Formation, the giant snowman—which had just been trying to expand to an immense size—was now slowly disintegrating as the Bizarre was sealed by the Soul Refining Technique.
Under Chu Feng's gaze, countless small snowmen, which had split from the larger one, were now piled together, struggling, writhing, and screaming in agony. Evidently, the Bizarre's current state was already affecting the snowman's own stability.
