American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 256: The Trump Card of the Gate Organization

```

The melting speed of the giant gate began to accelerate, viscid metal liquid flowing everywhere as an ominous aura quietly spread.

Xu Yi paced back and forth by the Original Sin Mother Tree, his eyes filled with unmistakable anxiety.

The souls of the Seven Deadly Sins wandered around the husk of the Original Sin Mother Tree, unwilling to leave. The next second, their spirit bodies suddenly shuddered.

The Great Onmyoji was nearing his end, but Xu Yi’s anxiety infected him. He injected himself with a Potent Potion, and after regaining a bit of strength, he immediately activated the Yata Mirror.

At the same time, another Great Onmyoji brought the Sword of Gathering Clouds to its limit, its Wind Blades slicing through those souls.

With the cooperation of the Yata Mirror and the Sword of Gathering Clouds, the souls of the Seven Deadly Sins were all captured within the Yata Mirror.

Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but the faces of the two Great Onmyoji were deathly pale as they looked out to see swarms of Kayako surging through the city.

Although they had anticipated this, the sight still filled them with despair.

They had thought that destroying the gate organization’s plans would save Japan, but now they saw they were too naive; the source of the Kayakos was not the Original Sin Mother Tree.

At this moment, a sudden scream came from behind, startling all three of them as they turned their heads to look.

Ripples appeared in the air, and a figure fell from the sky, revealing the previously vanished Skull Face.

The adversary had used some sort of sorcery to hide himself, covertly observing and waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge.

Xu Yi was perplexed as to why the adversary had chosen this moment to appear, especially since the souls of the Original Sin Mother Tree had been sealed.

Skull Face hadn’t even touched the ground when his body, still in mid-air, was enveloped by the stick metal liquid.

"No!" Skull Face struggled desperately, but it was futile.

He was forcibly sacrificed, his body emitting billowing, burning crimson flames. The flames spread throughout the entire metal gate, accelerating its melting into liquid metal, transforming visibly before their eyes.

The metal liquid condensed in the air with the sound of rolling magma, swiftly morphing into a monster.

Xu Yi had seen the monster before, sculpted on the door, with the head of a crow and the body of a human.

The difference was that the "Crow Man" was much smaller than the depiction on the door, merely the size of an average person, and had only eight bone hands instead of the countless many.

Crow Man suddenly opened its eyes, golden pupils flashing with kingly majesty.

It suddenly extended its hand and a ghastly white light converged in its palm, forming a Spear. With a powerful throw, it hurled the Spear forward.

The three of them were on high alert, only to see the light flash by, the Spear already in front of one of the Great Onmyoji, who instinctively raised the Yata Mirror to block it.

The Yata Mirror, as a Mythic Level Exorcism Holy Relic, was exceptionally sturdy, even capable of withstanding attacks from the Doomsday Blade.

The Light Spear struck the Yata Mirror, which resounded with a loud tremor. A crisp cracking sound followed, and a crack actually appeared on the Yata Mirror!

The complexion of everyone present changed, and Xu Yi suddenly realized that the panic he had felt when approaching the gate did not come from the Original Sin Mother Tree inside, but from the gate itself.

This giant gate was the trump card of the gate organization!

The two Onmyoji reacted in unison, turning and bolting away from Mount Fuji.

They had already carried out their utmost effort, and resolving the issue of the Original Sin Mother Tree had not been enough to save Japan. Now, with such a terrifying creature appearing, their only thought was to flee the scene immediately.

Xu Yi did not run; he watched Crow Man with every muscle tensed.

He couldn’t flee; the Original Sin Mother Tree was transforming into the Sin Remains, a process that could not be disrupted by excessive external forces.

If he ran away, the transformation would almost certainly be deemed a failure.

Crow Man’s goal was no doubt to recover the Original Sin Mother Tree. After all the effort and planning put into summoning it, it certainly wouldn’t just "hand it over" easily.

Crow Man’s gaze swept over Xu Yi and turned towards the fleeing Great Onmyoji.

For a being of absolute power like it, this was hardly a choice to make. With a flicker of its form, a sharp sonic boom resounded; its speed had surpassed that of sound, causing a sonic boom. Your next chapter awaits on novelbuddy

The next second, Crow Man had already intercepted the path of the two Great Onmyoji as they tried to escape.

The two Onmyoji knew they couldn’t escape and fought back with all their might.

The Sword of Gathering Clouds descended, a fierce gale falling from the sky, composed of innumerable small Wind Blades sharp enough to cut alloy into shreds, capable of inflicting harm on the soul.

```

The Crow Man remained unmoved, standing quietly in the wind as if the deadly Wind Blades falling upon him were nothing more than an inconsequential spring rain.

The lethal Wind Blades were dissipated by an invisible force.

The Crow Man struck again, sending the chilling Light Spear flying once more, aiming at the same person as before.

Without a doubt, the other party’s choice was correct. The Great Onmyoji who had been operating the Yata Mirror for an extended period was nearing exhaustion, presenting a weak point among the three.

All the Great Onmyoji could do was continue to use the Yata Mirror to defend. The mirror vibrated intensely again, and the cracks spread into three lines.

If this continued, the Yata Mirror would very likely be destroyed!

It was unimaginable that someone could, through sheer strength, damage a Mythic Level Exorcism Holy Relic.

Despair crossed the faces of the two Great Onmyojis, their eyes dull and lifeless.

"Don’t be scared by it! It can’t keep up this attack for much longer, look at its arms behind!" Xu Yi suddenly spoke up, his expression solemn but not yet desperate.

The two Great Onmyojis were briefly startled before looking closely, hope reigniting in their eyes.

In their tension, they had missed the detail that Xu Yi pointed out about the Crow Man.

Originally, the Crow Man had eight arms behind its back, but now only six remained. Considering the two Light Spears that had been thrown, the conclusion was obvious.

Each time it launched a Light Spear, it sacrificed an arm.

The terror of the Light Spear was such that if it could be conjured endlessly, they would stand no chance. But now, there was a glimmer of hope for survival.

Xu Yi also joined the fray, well aware of the principle that one falls with the other in close association.

If the Crow Man took down the two Great Onmyojis, he would undoubtedly be next. His goal now was to hold out until the Source of Woe transformation was complete, which would make escaping much easier.

He couldn’t run away now; the husk of the original sin mother tree was incredibly heavy, and thinking of escaping from the Crow Man with its terrifying speed while carrying the husk was a pipe dream.

The three joined forces against the Crow Man, but the effect was minimal, their attacks leaving only superficial scratches on its body.

If Xu Yi were to unleash "Blood as Sacred" with all his might, he could shatter the opponent’s body, but it was impossible to eliminate the Crow Man before his blood was exhausted.

Besides, his objective was to stall for time, waiting for the Source of Woe transformation to complete, not to kill his opponent.

The Crow Man’s attacks were rigid, making Xu Yi suspect for a moment that it was a robot.

One by one, the Light Spears fell, always targeting the Great Onmyoji holding the Yata Mirror, as if intending to follow through with the initial combat strategy.

Another Light Spear struck down, with the Yata Mirror held up against it.

Four arms had vanished from behind the Crow Man; this was the fourth Light Spear, and the Yata Mirror was riddled with cracks.

A crisp shattering sound suddenly rang out, and the Great Onmyoji wielding the Yata Mirror spat blood, their pale face showing black meridians as if they were on the verge of death.

Everyone’s faces turned ashen. Under the relentless assault of the Light Spears, the Yata Mirror finally couldn’t bear the strain, its central mirror shattered, and the rippling wave effect it once emitted disappeared, leaving the mirror dull and listless, bereft of its former wonder.

The Great Onmyoji suddenly threw the Yata Mirror towards the Crow Man, as if casting away a scorching hot iron.

Containing tremendous Energy, the shattered Mythic Level Holy Artifact unleashed a surge of power, creating spatial turbulence.

The Crow Man got caught in the spatial turbulence, emitting a piercing, metallic-sounding screech.

Soul after soul streamed out from the Yata Mirror, those of the original sin sealed within.

Xu Yi suddenly understood the Crow Man’s intention. It wasn’t simply targeting the easy prey; its initial goal had been to Release the souls of original sin from the Yata Mirror.

It would carry out the next order only after completing this task.

The souls of original sin were also drawn into the spatial turbulence. Virtually weightless, such light entities were instantly swept into the spatial rifts, vanishing without a trace.

Spatial rifts are treacherous, any ordinary person entering them would only meet a certain death, but Xu Yi didn’t believe the souls of original sin could be annihilated within them.

Even the Sword of Gathering Clouds could only harm them, not obliterate them.

The spatial rifts were like a gust of wind, and the souls of original sin were like dandelions, floating with the rifts, possibly appearing in any corner of this world, or even in Another World.

Xu Yi’s brows furrowed. Without thinking, he knew those souls of original sin would likely cause a great deal of trouble.
