This evil spirit seemed to possess an extremely strange ability.

Not only could it penetrate through solid walls, but its hands also held an eerie power that left [Demon Hunter] Rod unable to break free.

Just a few seconds later, his eyes began to turn bloodshot, this was definitely not normal – he was being ‘corroded’ by an extraordinary ability!

In the midst of struggle, Rod’s right hand suddenly dropped, pulling out a metal tube from his waist, he swiftly opened it, splashing the liquid inside onto the hands clutching his neck.

Boom!

A burst of light exploded.

The warm and genial liquid imbued with the power of light fell onto the semi-transparent palm of the evil spirit, immediately emitting a hissing sound as a large amount of white smoke rose.

Holy Light Water! An extraordinary item created by the Goddess of Light Church, it has miraculous effects on resentful spirits!

The hands almost melted under the light and swiftly withdrew into the wall.

Rod fell to the ground, gasping for breath, the disturbing purple-black handprint on his neck was clearly visible.

But Su Lu noticed that the purple-black color around the palm print was slowly fading. This was the resistance of the [Demon Hunter] taking effect.

If it were him, he would probably have died the second after the evil spirit got a grip on his neck.

In the midst of thought, Su Lu wasn’t idle, he picked up a small table and threw it back at the last remaining Little Demon Monster.

“We’re leaving! ”

Rod opened another test tube and carefully observed his surroundings: “This is no longer just a simple demon follower mission… but a complex supernatural event! We must go back, the church needs to pay more! That swindler! I won’t let him off!”

“Alright!”

Regarding this proposal, Su Lu raised both hands in agreement.

After teaming up, the remaining demon monster circled them from a distance, not daring to attack.

Rod and Su Lu were more alert to the terrifying evil spirit than it.

Su Lu reached the front door, swung it open, only to find it pitch black outside.

A thick black mist stood like a wall, completely blocking their path.

“What is…”

He reached out his hand, finding the dark curtain to be like a wall, firmly preventing him from leaving the house, and he couldn’t help expressing his surprise.

“This evil spirit is at least comparable to a second-order elite!” Rod explained with an ugly expression: “It can even influence the power of the spirit world, projecting its influence in reality, temporarily sealing off a certain area!” “Isn’t there a way to break through?” Su Lu asked immediately.

“Unless that evil spirit is exterminated, or if someone has the ability to ‘traverse the Spirit World’ then even if you break through the black mist, you will find that the outside world is no longer the same. If we’re lucky, we’re still in the real world, if not, even the gods won’t know where we will end up.” Rod took a deep breath: “The good news is… at the cost of being the core of this area, that evil spirit also won’t be able to leave here!”

“To me, this seems like the worse news!”

Su Lu turned around, anxiously watching the hall, then looked up.

One could see strands of black hair hanging from the ceiling, and a bright red figure appearing – it was that evil spirit!

Her limbs were twistedingly grotesque, her neck had even spun 180 degrees, crawling on the ceiling like a spider.

The two hands that were previously damaged by holy water were now perfectly intact!

“How much holy water do we have left?”

“Four bottles! I’m not sure if it’s enough to kill this evil spirit! I’m sorry…” Rod’s expression was somewhat gloomy: “This is all my fault! If I had inquired about the situation beforehand…”

In reality, it was because he trusted the Goddess Church too much.

Or perhaps even the spies of the Goddess of Light weren’t able to investigate every detail about every mission.

“From now on, conserve the holy water, we can’t misuse it anymore!”

Su Lu took a deep breath, glancing at his attribute panel: [XP: 150].

He knew that at this moment, he was nothing more than a burden, but as long as he could reap another 50 experience points, he could be promoted to [Spirit Medium]!

In dealing with spiritual bodies, [Spirit Mediums] have a specialty!

He looked towards Rod: “Do you believe in me? If you do, give me the revolver!”

“Of course!”

Rod was fully focused, watching the evil spirit crawling on the ceiling suddenly disappearing, he thrust the silver revolver into Su Lu’s hands: “The third bullet is a purifying bullet, its effect is slightly poorer than that of holy water! Be careful, that evil spirit can become invisible!”

“Don’t worry!”

Su Lu tightened his grip on the revolver, rapidly searching for the trace of the remaining Little Demon Monster.

One Little Demon Monster is worth 50 experience points, one more and he could be promoted to [Spirit Medium]!

Of course… even if he advanced to [Spirit Medium], it might still not be enough to deal with the evil spirit, but at least he would have some ability to protect himself, maybe even cooperate with Rod and kill it.

Su Lu scanned the area swiftly with his eyes, finding the only remaining Little Demon Monster.

It was hiding behind a sofa, its ears trembling.

He couldn’t afford to get nervous, he couldn’t shoot immediately, he needed to get closer.

Su Lu took a deep breath, moving forward step by step.

Rod didn’t quite understand his action, but he stayed closely beside him.

At that moment, on Su Lu’s left arm, the mark left by the evil spirit suddenly began to ache intensely: “This is… not good!”

His eyes narrowed, realising that at some point, that red-clothed female evil spirit had already reached his side, her hands stretched out, grabbing for his neck.

“Get out of the way!”

Rod let out a roar like a wild beast, stepping forward, charging like a black bear.

Boom!

He wrestled with the evil spirit, and together they broke through the wall, which was filled with endless black fog.

“Chit-chit!”

With Rod taken away, the Little Demon Monster hiding in the shadows rushed out hastily, reaching out its demon claws towards Su Lu.

“Do you think? I’m that easy to bully?” Enraged, Su Lu raised his hand and fired a shot.

Boom!

Amidst the blast, the Little Demon Monster twisted its body in a bizarre manner. leaving a circle of bullet holes in the ground and reaching Su Lu’s front.

“Power of the Tiger! Tiger Form!”

Su Lu swung his left arm down single-handedly, simultaneously activating the Power of the Tiger.

In a split second, a terrifying force infused his left arm, and even the marks left by the evil spirit began to quickly fade.

‘My strength data was originally 1.6, amplified by the Power of the Tiger, it’s now 2.0! This strength surpasses human limits!’

In other words, after amplification, Su Lu’s strength had become transcendent!

Whoosh!

The tiger claw hit the Little Demon Monster, slamming it into the ground and even shattering the floorboard, causing it to experience a moment of stupefaction.

Seizing the opportunity, Su Lu raised the revolver, aimed at the demon’s head, and fired a shot.

Boom!

After the gunshot, the Little Demon Monster’s head exploded, spilling all kinds of fluids on the floor.

[XP+50]

On his attribute screen, a new notification popped up.

“Finally, 200 experience points!”

Su Lu clenched his fists, not daring to waste a second: “Take office [Spirit Medium]!”
