American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 294: Wounded Prey Comes Knocking
Xu Family Restaurant.
Xu Changrong lay on the sofa in the hall, bored to death.
Actually, he didn’t want to stay there either. Just a few days ago, he had caught an Evil Spirit but hadn’t had the chance to deal with it. He had intended to make a bowl of red braised pork with it.
But there was no helping it; he still had to take his son’s task seriously.
Lisa and the Cat Spirit Bastet were chasing each other around the hall, frolicking and playing; Harada Mieko was practicing swordsmanship in the corner, hoping to be of use when the critical moment arrived.
Harada Mieko had activated the "visitor privileges" of the Ghost Samurai, which was something Xu Changrong asked Xu Yi to do, simply for the purpose of... slacking off.
Sometimes, when Xu Changrong really didn’t want to go out looking for "ingredients," he’d have Harada Mieko do it. After a while, the time Harada Mieko spent controlling the Ghost Samurai even exceeded that of Xu Changrong.
Xu Changrong occasionally taught Harada Mieko swordsmanship as well, but not Japanese swordsmanship, rather the blade techniques of Xia Kingdom.
Over the years, he might seem like just a chef, but he had perfected the family’s swordsmanship during the processes of chopping and stir-frying.
"How long do I have to keep watch like this!" sighed Xu Changrong.
He looked up, expecting to see the layout of the Xu Family Restaurant hall, but instead, he saw a massive tentacled monster.
About ten minutes earlier, Xu Yi had hurried back to the Xu Family Restaurant, saying that he had an important task for his old man.
So Xu Changrong controlled the Ghost Samurai to sneak into the Atlantis ruins, stealthily arriving at the designated location, hiding in the shadows, and monitoring his surroundings.
At first, he was a bit surprised, but after watching for a while, he got used to it. After all, he could only keep watch now and couldn’t go up to slice off a few tentacles for a teppanyaki meal.
Right then, a purple shadow abruptly appeared above the tentacled monster, and Xu Changrong instantly perked up.
......
Seeing that Lisa and the others were stabilizing, Xu Yi’s hanging heart had just settled when a Cat Spirit suddenly burst into the room, meowing softly.
All these Cat Spirits were underlings of Bartes, possessing no small amount of intelligence; they all knew that Xu Yi was busy with important things and would never barge in without good reason.
"Could it be..."
Xu Yi paused for a moment before quickly switching perspectives, his thoughts connecting with the Nest of the Evil God he had left near Ottawa.
To concoct potions against the clock, he had to concentrate fully.
Multitasking was for everyday situations; just now, he didn’t have the energy to pay attention to anything else, which is why he asked his old man for help.
The Cat Spirit was clearly sent by his dad to notify him.
"It actually came back!" Xu Yi looked up at the Eight-headed Sea Serpent in the sky, feeling a bit excited.
He had suddenly realized that, with the temperament of the Ring of Destruction, it shouldn’t have given up so easily. So he chose to "wait for the hare by the stump."
He was also secretly glad that he had temporarily given up on dissection. Otherwise, judging by the timing, he would have barely been halfway through it by now.
If so, he would not only miss out on the Poseidon Potion but also have to face the ambush of the Eight-headed Sea Serpent—losing out on both ends.
Xu Yi checked again to make sure that Lisa and the others were stable, then quickly left the Xu Family Restaurant and headed towards the Eight-headed Sea Serpent.
Luckily, he had prepared in advance, positioning the Xu Family Restaurant nearby so that he could quickly reach the battlefield.

Xu Yi chose not to meet up with the Ghost Samurai but instead lurked on the opposite side, creating a potential for a pincer attack.
He hid in the darkness, his gaze fixed on the Eight-headed Sea Serpent above, his eyes gleaming.
The Eight-headed Sea Serpent was in a rather sorry state at the moment, its metallic body heavily damaged in multiple places, with purple steam spurting out now and then.
But that wasn’t the worst part. Black centipede-like patterns covered its body, and the Eight-headed Sea Serpent shuddered from time to time, clearly suffering from severe injuries.
Xu Yi’s eyes shone brighter and brighter.
Low health, lying in wait in the bushes, all elements present!
Suddenly, the Eight-headed Sea Serpent opened its mouth, and eight "buds" were spat out, scattering around Ottawa.
He once again spewed out purple fog, which was absorbed by the flower bud, activating it. The petals unfurled, forming a metallic flower.
At the center of the metallic flower was a purple gemstone, shimmering with radiant light that poured out, refracting into a purple light screen.
Eight light screens pieced together to form a massive cage, suspended over the sky of Owatpa.
Xu Yi furrowed his brow as he stared at the light screen, which gave him a familiar sensation, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but couldn’t recall it at the moment.
The Eight-headed Sea Serpent continued to spew purple fog unceasingly, its metallic body shaking more violently.
"It’s time!"
Xu Yi took a deep breath and sent a signal to Xu Changrong through the Ghost Samurai.
......
"Looks like it’s due for a major repair!" Karen sighed deeply after inspecting the state of the Reincarnation Mechanism.
The Twilight Arrow wasn’t easy to withstand, let alone facing the even more terrifying "Heart of the Reaper." Fortunately, he was controlling an S-grade Reincarnation Mechanism, otherwise, it would have already been destroyed.
But even so, the price paid was extremely dear.
"But as long as the organization’s plan is fulfilled, the rest doesn’t really matter." Karen’s heart throbbed at the thought of the benefits after completing the plan.
Just then, two frightening auras surged suddenly, heading towards him, one in front and one behind.
Karen was shocked as his gaze swept across two streaks of light, one platinum and the other fiery red.
Within the surging platinum currents, Xu Yi’s hair floated, having fully activated "Blood as Sacred."
The opportunity was rare, and he naturally wielded his full strength, aiming for a one-hit kill!
He extended his finger, and a platinum light sphere converged at his fingertip.
"Holy!"
The blazing Holy Flame, like the Sword of Judgment, enveloped the Eight-headed Sea Serpent.
Meanwhile, amid the flames, the Ghost Samurai wielded the Demon Blade Red Lotus.
At this moment, it was Xu Changrong controlling the Ghost Samurai, and after some time familiarizing himself, he had become very proficient in all its abilities.
The Demon Blade Red Lotus was a Japanese sword, not the same type as the kitchen knives he usually wielded. Enjoy exclusive adventures from novelbuddy
But at his level of swordsmanship, mastering one technique was equivalent to mastering all. With just a bit of practice and by taking inspiration from Harada Mieko’s swordsmanship, he had even managed to innovate.
"One Slash of Fiery Flame!"
A crescent of flaming sword qi surged out, only two meters long, which was far shorter than the dozens of meters of flaming sword qi that Xu Yi typically unleashed.
But size did not always equate to power.
Sometimes, quite the opposite is true: when the flames are highly concentrated, their power can exponentially increase.
The flaming sword qi passed through the air, slashing towards the Eight-headed Sea Serpent.
Karen controlled the Eight-headed Sea Serpent to dodge. Regardless of its "severely injured" status, even at its peak, it couldn’t withstand the "Light Sword" and "Fire Blade."
But the sneak attack was too sudden; one second he was focused on activating the Array, and in the next, the "Light Sword" and "Fire Blade" were right before his eyes.
The Eight-headed Sea Serpent was engulfed in light, with dazzling radiance spreading in all directions, so bright it was like a supernova exploding, prompting Xu Yi to squint instinctively.
After a moment, the light faded, and Xu Yi peered intently below.
A huge crater appeared in the midst of Atlantis, half of Atlantis completely turned to ruins.
Owatpa was also affected, with large chunks of its body evaporated, leaving no blood at the wounds, only charred marks, as the flesh had been carbonized by the high temperature.
Owatpa awoke to pain, emitting a heaven-shaking moan, but due to the toxin from the Twilight Arrow still present, it could only flail its tentacles weakly.
Xu Yi paid no attention to Owatpa, his gaze fixed on the center of the explosion.
