The exorcism began in America.
Chapter 169: Suburbs of New York
As the long blade danced, Chu Feng's spiritual power naturally began to circulate along a profound trajectory of its own accord.
The next second, countless extremely condensed blade lights instantly flew in all directions.
Amidst the violent rumbling, the banks of the Chena River looked as though baptized by artillery fire. Numerous deep ravines suddenly appeared, showcasing the astonishing destructive power of the Soul Suppressing Saber Technique.
Even a few houses in the distant Avi Residential Area couldn't escape disaster, turning into ruins instantly under the dazzling blade lights.
"So strong! Truly too strong!"
Looking at the long saber in his hand, Chu Feng could hardly contain his excitement.
Although using this saber technique consumed spiritual power quickly, its flaw couldn't hide its excellence; strength is strength!
After barely suppressing his excitement, Chu Feng casually threw the Divine Source Stone, which he couldn't use yet, into his storage space and proceeded to allocate all of his attribute points.
Host: Chu Feng
Identity: Demon Hunter (First Rank)
Lifespan: 755
Strength: 600
Physique: 601
Spirit: 607
Spiritual Power: 662
As the allocation of attribute points was completed, Chu Feng felt a sense of fullness instantly pervade his entire body.
This reward of attribute points was the most he had received since the activation of his system.
After savoring the changes within his body for a long while, Chu Feng took a deep breath and finally calmed his excited heart.
Looking towards the sunset gradually falling along the horizon, and the melting snow, a natural smile appeared on his face.
"Finally done, time to rest, and tomorrow I'll return to New York!"
After glancing in the direction of the hotel, Chu Feng's Spiritual Wings fluttered lightly behind him, and he vanished on the spot.
Meanwhile, inside Eielson Air Force Base, Commander Mark was fuming with anger.
The crucial recording of the bizarre battle between the Exorcist and the Yeti, on which he had placed great importance, turned out to be non-existent. This directly thwarted the plans in his heart.
"Can anyone tell me what exactly happened? Isn't the base's surveillance system independently powered? How could the surveillance cameras lose power?"
The angry roar echoed throughout the entire command center, and the technicians sitting by the computers dared not make a sound, terrified of saying the wrong thing and drawing his ire.
Looking at the silent people around him, Mark's anger intensified.
"You damned cowards, scared witless by the Bizarre, speak up!"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, the adjutant, the commander's deputy, hurriedly stood up.
"General, it may have been some kind of force from the Bizarre that caused this! We haven't researched the Bizarre, so we know too little about it!"
"I suggest we could seek some research material on the Bizarre from the federal government or higher-ups in the Military..."
After glancing at his quail-like subordinates and looking at his deputy beside him, Mark, barely suppressing his anger, finally nodded.
"Let's do that, then!"
After saying that and snorting heavily, he turned and left the command center.
「Fairbanks City.」
At the hotel's reception desk, a burly receptionist leaned toward her colleague, pale as a ghost.
"Debbie, did you see the body on the second basement level? It's horrific! I think I should quit my job!"
"If you quit, where will you go?" Debbie, whose face bore a few freckles, propped her cheek with her hand and casually spoke the piercing truth. "Now the whole of Fairbanks, aside from the city department still hiring people to clear that damn snow outside, basically has no job vacancies left; not even the bars are open! Think about your bank loans..."
The thought of her still unpaid credit card made the horror on the stout woman's face fade significantly.
"That famous Exorcist, Chu Feng, doesn't he stay at our hotel? Now that the sky is clear outside, do you think..."
"Sigh~ Even if that Bizarre dies, so what? Where is there any safe place now? Those damn Bizarres seem to have no origin; who knows when they might suddenly pop up!"
"By the way, my friend Danni from New York found herself an Exorcist boyfriend, and now she's not afraid of any Bizarres at all. Do you think Chu Feng might like..."
Before she could finish, a tall figure suddenly walked in from the hotel entrance.
"It's Mr. Chu Feng!"
The receptionist named Debbie quickly tugged at her colleague's sturdy arm and straightened her collar, her previously dour face instantly lighting up with a radiant smile.
"Mr. Chu Feng, may I help you with anything?"
Looking at the two receptionists at the hotel's front desk, beaming with smiles and brimming with enthusiasm, Chu Feng was taken aback.
It seemed to be the first time he had seen these two receptionists, whose physiques were quite a contrast.
"No, thank you," he politely responded, then tried to head upstairs to his room.
But the sudden appearance of a bulky figure before him made him instinctively step back.
"Mr. Chu Feng, are you sure you don't need any services?" the stout figure winked at Chu Feng, the implication clear.
Chu Feng, who instantly understood, hated himself for the first time for being so quick-witted.
"No... I'm good!" he muttered awkwardly and then quickly moved towards the elevator.
He slipped into the elevator, and only after the doors closed did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"PHEW! That was close! No way, I have to leave here quickly tomorrow..."
Early the next morning, Chu Feng, who had gotten up early, left his room card on the bed and departed in a hurry without informing anyone from the hotel.
The snow on the street that had not been completely cleared could naturally not stop Chu Feng, who had Spiritual Wings.
After just a few flaps of his Spiritual Wings, Chu Feng had already arrived at Fairbanks International Airport.
He informed Lin Qiu and others at the Exorcism Agency about his return, but the response he got made the smile gradually disappear from his face.
"Boss, you're coming back at the perfect time. The Exorcism Agency is in the middle of promotion assessments for Fourth Level Exorcists, and we're short of a safety officer!"
Chu Feng, who had been thinking about taking a few days off, subconsciously resisted the idea of immediately going back to work.
"I'm quite busy. Why not send Taran or Amita?"
"They're not around. They just got word a few days ago that a Low Rank Evil Spirit appeared in Ohio, so they took a team to test out an Array developed by the Agency!"
"Then you..."
"Give me a break! With them gone, and John and James still out dealing with branch matters, all the Agency work is piling on me!"
"..."
Looking at the departure hall in front of him, Chu Feng suddenly lost the slightest urge to step inside. Damn, I really don't want to work...
On the outskirts of New York City, outside a villa bought and renovated by the Exorcism Agency.
Chu Feng looked at the various men and women beside him and clicked his tongue twice.
Who would have thought? The Exorcism Agency had only a couple of employees when it first opened. Now, so many people were turning up just for the promotion assessment from Fourth Level to Fifth Level Exorcist.
