It was time for me to announce my return!
If I stayed here any longer, even if I didn't care about the outside world's opinions, my friends would likely start searching for me all over the world.
Glancing at the messages on his cell phone, Chu Feng smiled wryly.
In this life, though I don't have many friends, they all seem to genuinely care about me.
"Mr. Chu Feng, why don't we go instead? Our brothers haven't had enough fun yet! Those cult followers..."
Bob hadn't finished his sentence when Chu Feng waved his hand to interrupt him directly.
"Bob, let them rest for a while!"
"Yes, sir!"
Despite desperately wanting to demonstrate his and his people's worth, an order from Chu Feng wasn't to be defied.
Everything within the base would follow the Master's will!
Just as Chu Feng stood up and walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Bob, whose face was filled with respect.
"Right, and keep an eye on that blood fiend in the base during training. Don't let it escape!"
"Rest assured, sir!"
Chu Feng, who had a fair understanding of blood fiends, was very aware of their bizarre nature.
Their Life Force was strong, making them hard to kill.
He guessed that it likely had something similar to the energy core of the vampires in those coffins.
However, the base needed this free punching bag, so it wasn't good to kill it outright.
When I find the time, I definitely need to come over and study it carefully.
I need to see if there's a way to directly extract its energy core. That way, it would be much easier if I ever encountered a blood fiend or vampires like those from the stone coffins again.
「...」
According to the firm's ranking of Exorcists, Chu Feng's Spiritual Energy Value was now within the range of a tenth-level Exorcist.
A tenth-level Exorcist, under normal circumstances, could participate as an auxiliary player in battles against average High Rank Evil Spirit level bizarre creatures.
However, in reality, besides Chu Feng himself, no other Exorcist in the office had reached this rank, so it hadn't been put to a practical test.
Hence, the rationality of this rank division was indeed debatable.
As for actual combat power, with Chu Feng's battle record, High Rank Evil Spirit level creatures were no challenge at all.
So Chu Feng, watching the convoy below from high in the sky, suddenly felt a sense of bullying the weak.
"Sass, why do I suddenly feel so uneasy?"
In an old stolen car, the cultist driving suddenly looked uneasy, glanced at Sass who was feigning sleep next to him, and spoke.
Sass hadn't spoken yet when the person in the backseat could no longer sit still.
As if realizing something, he immediately cried out in alarm.
"Damn it, you bastard, don't tell me you have a heart condition? Stop the car! Stop the car!!!"
"Shut up, idiot, I'm not sick!"
The driver yelled furiously and, as if to prove his point, pressed the accelerator to the floor.
Accompanied by the roaring engine, the car's speed rapidly increased, instantly making everyone inside feel as if the gates of Hell were alarmingly close.
"Fuck! What are you trying to do?"
"Oh~ Xie Te! Get your damn foot off the accelerator!"
Everyone was in chaos, all trying to persuade their suddenly crazed comrade.
They did not want to die inexplicably in a car crash.
Just as the vehicle began to sway and the other cult members in the convoy were starting to feel puzzled, a dazzling blade of light suddenly fell from the sky, slicing the lead car into two halves.
"Fuck! Stop the car! Stop the car!"
This sudden scene caught the trailing vehicles completely off guard, as they instinctively jerked the steering wheel.
The two cars behind immediately lost control, spinning into the guardrails at the side of the road.
The already narrow lane was blocked tight by several vehicles in an instant.
The few cars at the front, judging by their gruesome condition, likely had occupants who were certainly dead.
However, the vehicles following further behind managed to brake in time due to the slightly greater distance. Although they also crumpled into a heap, the cult members inside only took a moment to recover before climbing out through the broken windows, weapons in hand.
"How come all the cultists from the Holy Advent Society are of this caliber?"
The indifferent voice from above startled the newly emerged crowd, who quickly looked up.
Under the glaring sunlight, they could only see a silhouette holding a long knife, floating high above their heads, but they couldn't make out the person's face.
"Weak Strength, and the bizarre power within you is even more pitifully scarce. Sometimes I really wonder if you're more gangster than cultist!"
As the owner of the voice slowly descended, the cultists below finally made out the appearance of the newcomer.
"It's the Exorcist, Chu Feng!"
A cry of horror suddenly rose from the crowd, striking fear into the hearts of all the cultists present, their eyes filled with terror.
"Xie Te! Wasn't he supposed to be dead?"
The flustered cultists turned to flee.
The discrepancy in combat power was all too clear. A fight would only lead to certain death. There was no point in resisting.
Coincidentally, a regular car that had just driven up to the scene halted slowly at the rear of the convoy.
Sass, the quickest to grasp the situation, saw the vehicle behind and his eyes lit up.
A hostage delivered right to the door!
While the others fled towards the roadside, he quietly dashed toward the rear of the convoy.
Chu Feng is alive, and his showing up here means Jones and the others must be dead!
Those Exorcists who abducted Claudia must be his subordinates.
I must survive and return to report this news to Lord Sirio!
But the idea of escaping from Chu Feng on foot is utterly impossible!
So his target became the civilians at the rear of the convoy.
With a hostage in hand, I'll naturally have a bargaining chip for negotiation!
Chu Feng, hovering in mid-air, saw clearly the cultists' reactions below, especially the shadow sneaking towards the rear.
Following the direction of the person's movement, Chu Feng caught sight of the white-haired old man who had just gotten out of the car.
Planning to take a hostage? Such a naïve thought...
With a flick of his long knife, a thin blade of light instantly appeared behind the figure.
The blade was so sharp it made no sound as it silently slid across the figure's neck, then disappeared into the solid ground.
Sass gazed at the white-haired old man not far away, his face just beginning to show a hint of smug satisfaction.
Just an ordinary human. Soon he'll become my shield!
But in the next second, he felt he lost control of his body, and his viewpoint started to fall.
What's happening?
He looked down instinctively, only to see empty space.
Where's my body?
As the question surfaced in his mind, his consciousness plunged into darkness.
After dealing with a slightly clever little rat, Chu Feng's gaze shifted, turning directly towards the other scattering cultists.
"Heh~ You still want to run? Just the right time to test out this move from the Soul Suppressing Sowrd!"
The long knife in his hand shone like flowing light, and in the blink of an eye, countless dazzling beams of knife light shot out in all directions.
