The thunder, a natural bane to evil spirits, was devastating. Ordinary ghosts and demons couldn’t withstand a direct hit, and even the sound of the thunderclap alone could shatter their souls.
The Blood Mist Serpent, its head pierced through, could no longer hold its form and dispersed.
Even the mist that had formed the serpent was completely evaporated!
In the midst of battle, situations change in an instant.
Su Fan had only taken a few seconds to deal with the Blood Mist Serpent, but that was more than enough time for Paimon!
Above Paimon’s head, the jeweled crown emitted a blinding light, then fragmented into streaks of light, flying toward Su Fan from every direction without leaving a single gap!
As Su Fan continued his charge, he swung his long sword repeatedly, creating an impenetrable defense. Those dense, swift streaks of light couldn’t get anywhere near him.
The divine power attached to the sword blade was unstoppable, capable of cutting through anything.
With a sudden powerful step, Su Fan leaped high into the air, soaring across the sky like a bird of prey!
Behind him, the streaks of light from Paimon’s crown gave relentless chase!
Turning in mid-air, Su Fan swung his sword, and the streaks of light exploded one after another in the sky.
A continuous roar echoed as the light streaks burst into fine, fragmented glows against the blood-red sky, blooming brilliantly like fireworks!
But suddenly, stone spikes erupted from the ground, shooting rapidly upward.
Their tips were incredibly sharp, no less than spears, and they moved with tremendous speed. In an instant, they were less than two meters away from Su Fan, aiming to pierce through him while he was still airborne!
Unexpectedly, Su Fan seemed to merge with his long sword, flying straight ahead for a short distance through the air, narrowly escaping the range of the rock spikes by a hair’s breadth!

The sudden appearance of the three-headed hellhound plunged the group of detectives and agents into a tough battle.
Regular bullets packed a decent punch, but the wounds they caused on the hellhound healed almost instantly.
Salt-loaded bullets created wounds that were harder to heal, but their power was insufficient.
Dean and Sam had already switched all their ammunition to salt rounds. They constantly ran and changed positions while firing their shotguns.
Currently, their main source of damage relied entirely on Ron’s telekinesis.
Her ice-blue eyes were wide open, pushing her psychokinetic power to its absolute limit.
She frantically tried to destroy the hellhound’s vital organs and arteries, but she still couldn’t inflict a fatal wound.
Just then, an orange-red flash of fire suddenly erupted not far away!
The hellhound’s roars and the serpent churning within the blood mist…
Everything pointed to the fierce battle raging in the main combat zone!
In a brief pause during the fight, the detective glanced sideways and saw countless sharp stone peaks shooting up from the ground, aiming for a black dot in the sky!
That was Su Fan!
Worry filled Ron’s heart, and her psychic output swelled to a level she had never reached before!
“Bang!”
One of the hellhound’s heads exploded on the spot, flesh and blood flying everywhere!
The other two heads followed suit, bursting one after another!
Seeing that the headless hellhound was still struggling to get up, the Winchester brothers rushed forward, laying down suppressive fire while splashing the high-grade holy water they had prepared earlier!
This finally dissolved the monster that had been harassing them for so long into a puddle of black slime!
Just as the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief, they heard the detective nearby suddenly shout.
“Get down!”
They spun around and found, to their surprise, several figures had appeared in the darkness, their guns spitting fire toward them!
Dean reacted instantly, grabbing his brother Sam and pulling him down, narrowly escaping the sniper fire from the enemies nearby!
“Covering fire!”
As the detective yelled, the other officers immediately opened fire on the building where the figures were hiding.
Taking this chance, the Winchester brothers quickly ran toward the group of officers!
“What’s going on?!”
Dean, still shaken, asked angrily.
“Aren’t these guys all dead?”
“The cultists inside the community are all dead, yes, but not the others outside.”
Ron’s mind raced.
“We’re not the only ones who entered the community for support. Their people came in too.”
“They’re already followers of the demon, so they don’t have to worry about the mental effects of the blood mist.”
“Damn bastards!”
Carl cursed.
“Me, Carl, and the officers will stay here to deal with them. You two go help Su!”
The detective crouched down to reload, speaking rapidly.
Dean and Sam looked at Ron, whose face had paled slightly, their eyes questioning.
It was clear that her sudden burst of power to kill the hellhound had taken a lot out of her.
From the previous fights, it was obvious that Ron was probably the one who could help Su Fan the most among all of them; she was indispensable.
Everyone’s eyes focused on Ron. She took two quick breaths and nodded firmly.
Receiving the affirmative answer, the Winchester brothers didn’t say another word. They turned and ran deeper into the community, with Ron following closely. In her eyes, besides exhaustion, there was mostly worry and anxiety.

[You faced the enemy with your sword, broke through pillars of fire, cut down evil light, and executed short-range flying swordsmanship. Swordsmanship +15!]
Flying swordsmanship.
True flying with a sword isn’t like in movies where the sword is enlarged and you stand on it like a skateboard. It’s more about the sword breaking through the fierce wind, and the user transforming into a flash of sword light.
Because it would be too conspicuous in a city and often unnecessary, Su Fan had never actually tried it before.
Now, using it for the first time, it was to dodge an attack rushing up from below.
Su Fan clearly hadn’t yet reached the level of transforming into a sword light and traveling thousands of miles in an instant.
Even so, the effect of flying swordsmanship as it was now was impressive enough.
His flying speed was unknown how much faster than running on the ground!
[Flying swordsmanship consumes quite a lot of spiritual energy. Using it for long-distance travel isn’t cost-effective.]
Fortunately, this short-distance flight didn’t affect Su Fan’s condition much; the spiritual energy within his body was still abundant.
It was this unexpected move that drastically shortened the distance between him and Paimon!
Paimon, obviously not expecting Su Fan to have such a trick, even interrupted the spell he was preparing. With a flicker, he quickly created more distance between them!
“An exquisite technique. The power you used, I have never seen before.”
Paimon looked at Su Fan with newfound curiosity.
“Where did you obtain this ability?”
“Speak carefully. Based on your answer, I will decide whether to spare your life.”
“Be deeply grateful for this favor.”
As one who possessed knowledge of many occult secrets, he was clearly intrigued by the combat skills and divine power Su Fan had demonstrated.
He desperately wanted to know how Su Fan, armed only with a long sword, could hold out for so long against a demon lord like himself.
Unexpectedly, Su Fan didn’t show any intention of replying.
Su Fan’s expression was calm like still water. He raised his hand and unleashed two Five Thunder Talismans, his body following closely behind the thunder, charging forward once again to attack!
For an enemy like this, Su Fan had nothing to say. Right now, he was a silent killing machine, his only purpose to take Paimon’s head!
“Arrogant!”
This act finally angered Paimon. His furious growl once again echoed throughout the entire community, the very ground trembling in response!
“How dare you ignore the opportunity I granted you, you foolish insect! You lowly creature!”
“You will fall into the abyss of eternal darkness and fear, suffering endless torment!”
