Chapter 175 Chainsaw Killer
As he neared the Blood Orchid, Bone of Nightmares surged forward in a frenzied sprint.
There weren't many cultists guarding the Blood Orchid anymore; they had all rushed towards the riverside to deal with the extermination squad.
Xu Yi, now a skeletal body, could not harness the power of the Entries, but it did not affect his use of combat skills.
In fact, no particular skills were needed. The Bone of Nightmares itself was the most formidable weapon. Common Exorcism Artifacts could not harm him, while his bony hands could easily pierce through human bodies.
Cultists who tried to stop him fell into pools of blood, with the Bone of Nightmares stepping over a ground littered with corpses, advancing towards the Blood Orchid.
The Blood Orchid was within sight, its seductive petals exuding a strange fragrance.
The Bone of Nightmares directly lunged at the center of the bushes, where the main root was located.
Every Holy Relic was a unique entity; the Blood Orchid in front of him was not like the Cat Spirit Holy Tree, which possessed a conscious soul. It only had instincts.
It was born in the primeval forest of Borneo and instinctively used the Blood Orchid to attract pythons. The falling petals were consumed by the pythons, which then evolved to guard around the Blood Orchid.
Now that the "guards" were gone, the main root of the Blood Orchid trembled slightly.
Xu Yi ignored it and manipulated the Bone of Nightmares to pounce on it. The Bone of Nightmares was covered in cracks; if it did not receive a replenishment of strong vitality, it would collapse any moment.
The Bone of Nightmares grasped the main root of the Blood Orchid, and its skeletal frame shuddered violently.
He suddenly felt the Divinity within the main root of the Blood Orchid, faint yet incredibly unique, purer than any other Divinity.
The skeletal body trembled slightly, not because it was about to collapse, but out of excitement.
The Blood Orchid, also known as the Flower of Transcendence, gained its miraculous "Transcendence" thanks to this special Divinity.
The Bone of Nightmares began to absorb that faint trace of Divinity. The flesh attached to the bone's surface writhed as if it was a serpent, wrapping around the main root and climbing along the rootstock in all directions.
A vast expanse of the Blood Orchid withered and died, and a chilling aura soared into the sky.
The opposing forces at the edge of the River Styx simultaneously stopped fighting, turned their heads towards the direction of the Blood Orchid, their faces filled with horror.
"Bishop Norton, you take command of the battle, I'll stop that monster!" Ed suddenly retreated, intent on halting the resurgence of the Bone of Nightmares.
But an even more formidable aura descended abruptly, and a blood-colored beam of light pierced the sky from afar. The cultists' faces lit up with mad joy, chanting the eternity of the Holy Lord.
Ed's complexion turned deathly pale in an instant, for the Evil God's summoning ritual was about to be completed!
"Get me over there, quick!"
A familiar voice came from behind. Ed turned sharply, his voice filled with joy, "Xu Yi? You're alright!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After the Demon Blade Red Lotus was completed, Xu Yi rushed over immediately.
Archbishop Norton threw out his Magic Carpet, and Xu Yi rode across the River Styx. As soon as he landed, he commenced a massacre.
In the battle between the two sides, firearms were rarely used. It wasn't that firearms weren't useful; it was that exorcists powerful enough had their ways of dealing with common firearms.
The world was changing, and naturally, exorcists progressed as well. If just any ordinary person with a gun could threaten an exorcist, wouldn't exorcists be too constrained?
However, the gun in Xu Yi's hands did not fall into this category. The Alchemical Revolver Messiah, combined with the corruption silver bullets, greatly increased its lethal effect on exorcists.
Being a master of marksmanship, he almost never missed. The battle quickly turned into a one-sided affair.
"Quick, let's go!" Xu Yi had no time to tangle with those cultists. After breaking through the cultists' defenses, he charged toward the distant blood-colored beam of light.
He could already feel the terrifying aura of the Evil God.
Ed understood this as well, and he rushed to follow. After Archbishop Norton stabilized the situation, he also led a group of people to catch up with the two.
As they passed the sea of Blood Orchids, Ed hesitated slightly.
"Forget about this place! Stopping the descent ritual is what's important!" Xu Yi pulled Ed away forcefully.
The archbishop and his people didn't bother with the monsters inside the Blood Orchids, as Archbishop Norton knew this wasn't the time to get sidetracked.
The other exorcists were indeed interested in the Blood Orchids, but they also knew the skeleton monster was tough to deal with. Without the Church's aid, they dared not act rashly.
Xu Yi finally arrived at the site of the descent ritual. The altar was engraved with a complex array, and heretics shrouded in black robes stood around it. At the center of the pillar of light was a large coffin.
The pillar of light suddenly contracted, and the bloodlight converged towards the center's coffin. Xu Yi took out the Holy Water Concentrate gifted to him by the Archbishop and hurled it vigorously.
The instant the Holy Water touched the blood-colored light pillar, the glass bottle shattered, and the Holy Water sprinkled out, melting a large hole in the light pillar.
When Archbishop Norton saw this, his eyes lit up. He took out a crown and threw it into the hole in the light pillar.
As the crown entered the array, it immediately burst out in a dazzling golden light. Under the irradiation of the light, the Blood Array crumbled apart, and the towering light pillar turned into a phantom and dissipated.
All the exorcists present breathed a sigh of relief. Since the Church had resolved to destroy the Evil God's descent ritual, how could they not be prepared? The crown was their trump card against the Evil God's descent.
The ritual was interrupted halfway, and the heretics conducting it instantly died violently, falling to the ground with blood flowing from all seven orifices.
Ed strode towards the coffin, ready to destroy the Evil God's medium inside. Only by doing this could they completely shatter the ritual.
As he stood before the coffin, his complexion suddenly changed greatly, and he instinctively stepped back.
A whirring hum came from the coffin suddenly, and the next second, it burst open, a cold light slashing across Ed's waist. Discover exclusive content at empire
Ed's clothes ripped, and he was drenched in cold sweat. The object that had swept across his waist was a rotating chainsaw!
If he had been just a second slower, he might have already been slashed open.
A tall figure emerged from the broken coffin, dressed in a suit and tie and covered by a butcher's apron, looking genteel. But if one saw the chainsaw in his hands and the leather face that covered his head, they'd think otherwise.
The scent of cursed items filled the air, and although the chainsaw was rusty, it still rotated. This was by no means a traditional chainsaw; vines penetrated into the motor's interior, and the oil it used was as thick as blood.
"The Texas Chainsaw Killer!"
Information about the cursed item flashed through Xu Yi's mind.
Aiming the Alchemical Revolver Messiah at the killer's head, Xu Yi readied to pull the trigger, but he suddenly found he couldn't move at all. His body seemed to have turned into a statue, unable even to blink.
A powerful domain arose, centered on the Chainsaw Killer, enveloping all the exorcists present.
The area fell quiet, leaving only the buzzing of the chainsaw, like the roar of a wild beast.
Ed was the closest to the Chainsaw Killer, and as the chainsaw neared to bisect his body, a burst of golden light exploded in Ed's eyes. The power of the Sacred Body fully activated, and he forcefully broke free from the domain's oppression.
He rapidly retreated, gasping heavily, his body covered in sweat.
As his prey fled, the Chainsaw Killer's cold pupils didn't waver. He stepped forward confidently, as if taking a leisurely stroll through his own slaughterhouse.
The exorcists frozen in place became easy targets. As the chainsaw passed through them, blood gushed out, organs scattered across the floor, and the exorcists died with intense reluctance.
"It's the Evil God!" Xu Yi suddenly realized.
Ordinary killers obviously couldn't possess such formidable power. Although the Evil God's descent ritual was interrupted, some of the Evil God's power had still entered the killer's body.
