American Exorcism Male God

Pythons surrounded him, and Xu Yi felt as though he were in a sea of snakes.

The mournful gaze of the other exorcists was not without reason. With so many pythons, it was indeed a very difficult task to fend them off by himself.

Xu Yi stood fearless, the Fog of Obscurity possessing his body as he weaved through the mass of pythons, as if dancing on the tip of a blade.

One after another, corrosive silver bullets fired off, felling many a giant python, their blood pooling into a small lake at Xu Yi's feet.

Xu Yi gasped for air; combat demanded his full concentration, allowing for no mistakes, which was extremely draining on his mental strength.

But this was not the worst of it—as the battle continued, the Fog of Obscurity he relied on was running dangerously low.

Once the Fog of Obscurity was gone, his speed would drastically decrease, and he could be torn to shreds by the swarm of pythons in a matter of moments.

"Not nearly enough yet," Xu Yi glanced at his feet, where the snake blood had just begun to cover his instep.

Seeing Xu Yi standing motionless, the pupils of the pythons glinted with bloodlust. Their prey was about to falter, and they swarmed towards Xu Yi.

But suddenly, their heads flew into the air, and their bodies slowly fell at Xu Yi's feet. A deluge of snake blood poured from the severed necks, drenching Xu Yi's body.

In his hands, Xu Yi held a longsword, its crystal red blade shed the snake blood cleanly, leaving not a single drop upon it.

The Exorcism Holy Relic Red Lotus, this longsword, now on the brink of breaking, was being used by Xu Yi for the first time.

The pythons, undeterred by death, continued their assault. The snake scales, sturdy enough to resist exorcism bullets, were as fragile as paper before the Blade of Red Lotus.

As the python bodies were cleaved, blood spewed like rain in a violent storm.

But there were simply too many pythons. Xu Yi's swordsmanship was only at a beginner level, and he left an opening behind him. A giant python, silently lurking there, opened its ghastly maw, poised to swallow Xu Yi whole.

Suddenly, a faint red flame spread outward; the flame grazed the python's head and in the next second, the giant python collapsed into a pool of blood.

The flame originated from the Red Lotus Longsword, which, with a sweeping slash, released a surging inferno, knocking down swathes of pythons and granting Xu Yi a brief respite.

"It's time!"

Xu Yi took a deep breath; the python blood had reached past his calves.

He thrust the Red Lotus Longsword forcefully into the bloody waters, and if one were to look closely, they would notice fine cracks beginning to appear on the blade.

Three conditions were required to repair the Red Lotus Longsword, and Xu Yi took out Ratma's rodent tooth, the "baptized divine remains." The pool of python blood before him served as the "Life Cleansing Blade Pool."

Now what was missing was the last step, the "Heavenly Fire."

In ancient Japanese tomes, Heavenly Fire was described as "In an instant with Heavenly Fire, divine remains melt away."

At first, Xu Yi was perplexed by this.

Even if you put the divine remains in a metal smelting furnace of astonishing temperatures, it would take several days and nights of smelting to potentially melt the divine remains.

Did a flame that could instantly melt divine remains really exist?

Later he realized he was mistaken; Heavenly Fire might not be a literal flame. A substance capable of quickly "melting" Divine Items did, in fact, exist.

A Fruit of Faith appeared in his hand, a "half-ripened" Fruit of Faith.

After trekking in this area for three days and nights, the power of faith flowed in continuously, and the Cat Spirit Holy Tree bore such a fruit of faith.

Xu Yi's hand ran over the blade of the Red Lotus, as blood nourished the longsword, while his right hand's Core of Faith pressed against the hilt.

The extermination squad had left far behind, and the Ram Cult was nearby. As the ritual for summoning the Evil God began, the air was filled with the presence of the Evil God.

Using the authority of the Evil God would not attract too much attention at a time like this.

The Core of Faith, spurred by the authority of the Evil God, transformed into dark flames. The flames enveloped the Red Lotus Longsword, as Xu Yi threw Ratma's bloodied rodent tooth into the black fire.

The rat teeth gradually melted, turning into fumes, and infused themselves into the Red Lotus Longsword.

Cryptic black patterns began to emerge on the crystal-red blade, sending an ominous aura radiating in all directions; if Xu Yi weren't the sword's owner, he wouldn't even dare to stay nearby.

The serpent blood submerging the blade suddenly began to boil, and as it washed over the blade, the thick bloody water instantly turned clear - the life force and resentments within the snake blood were all absorbed.

More and more snake blood was drawn in, and fresh blood replenished it, but the replenishment couldn't keep up with the speed at which the longsword absorbed the blood.

Xu Yi took out the Alchemy Revolver and inflicted more wounds on the python, letting more fresh blood flow out.

The surrounding pythons hesitated for a moment, but their bloodthirsty desire eventually overcame their fear, and they attacked Xu Yi once again.

But a pale-red flame drifted out from the Red Lotus Longsword. The ethereal flames flitted past the python's face, and the giant snake fell down with a thud.

More and more giant python corpses piled up around the Red Lotus Longsword, eventually forming a "well" with Xu Yi at the bottom, facing the towering "Snake Wall."

The heretics were simply tasked with monitoring the pythons, but upon seeing a mountain of python corpses, they couldn't help their curiosity and came over to investigate.

They climbed the "Snake Mountain" to the top and looked down from above.

When they clearly saw the scene below, their pupils suddenly dilated.

The pooling snake blood formed a crimson vortex, which in turn drew more blood toward it; fresh blood from the bodies of the dead pythons was extracted, leaving their bodies increasingly shriveled.

In the midst of the bloody whirlpool, a longsword stood silently, emanating a fearsome dominance.

The heretics exchanged glances, each seeing the longing in the others' eyes. Everyone understood that this was undoubtedly an incredibly terrifying longsword, and to possess it...

They hesitated for a moment and then jumped into the snake pit together, but they didn't see Xu Yi.

Suddenly, their bodies started trembling uncontrollably, and their faces were drained of any color. Continue your saga on empire

The elusive red flames appeared once again, sweeping towards the heretics, who all felt their souls quiver.

They finally understood why these giant pythons had died in silence - the pale-red flames weren't burning their flesh but their souls!

They wanted to flee, but it was already too late. The flames passed over their bodies, burning their souls to ashes, leaving only their husks to fall into the blood below.

Xu Yi activated Dark Stealth, concealing himself in the shadows.

He didn't even glance at the heretics. His attention was fixed on the Red Lotus Longsword the entire time, his eyes showing a faint trace of fear mixed with an undeniable excitement.

Was the method recorded in that ancient tome really just for repairing a Holy Artifact?

Now the aura of the Red Lotus Longsword was so formidable that even he, its owner, felt alarmed, and this aura was still climbing - the Red Lotus Longsword was still growing stronger!

Xu Yi didn't know if the Red Lotus Longsword before him could still be called an Exorcism Holy Relic.

The rat teeth of the Evil God Ratma had merged with the longsword; large amounts of resentful snake blood had been poured into it, altering its form.

Cryptic black patterns covered the crystal-red blade. Its guard grew fierce and protruded like blood-stained thorns.

The originally tranquil and harmonious Blade of Red Lotus now exuded an ominous and sinister presence; it was practically a Demon Blade!

Being an Exorcism Holy Relic, the burning of the soul was the Red Lotus Flame's Ability.

But now the Red Lotus Karma Flame was mutating. The red got deeper and deeper, resembling fresh blood, and the flame became darker and more sinister.

The black-red flames suddenly erupted and shot towards the top of the "snake well" as if a volcano was erupting.

The elimination task force was about to arrive at the Ram Cult's lair. They sensed the tumultuous disturbance behind them and turned back abruptly, their eyes betraying an uncertain fear.

"What terrifying flames, what exactly happened over there?" someone murmured to themselves.
