The soul-binding thread slowly tightened, the Evil Spirit continued to struggle defiantly, Xu Yi, expressionless, pulled the trigger, and the Evil Spirit was pierced by the bullet, screaming repeatedly.
The woman on the ground slowly awoke, and Xu Yi was slightly startled.
To avoid the situation that happened with William, he had used the Sleeping Flower from the Cat Spirit Holy Tree. The fragrance of the Sleeping Flower was enough to keep soone asleep for the entire night; he hadn't expected her to wake up so quickly.
The woman held her forehead, her head splitting with pain, her mind a blank, not knowing what had happened.
As she lifted her head and saw the roaring Dark Evil Spirit in the room, she panicked and retreated.
Xu Yi observed the woman, trying to figure out the reason for her premature Awakening, while tightening the soul-binding thread in his hand.
The Evil Spirit's struggles were ultimately futile, and with a piercing cry, its body burst open, turning into a vast cloud of black fog that was compressed by the soul-binding thread into a Soul Jade.
The Soul Jade was perfectly round and flawless, marking the first perfect Soul Jade Xu Yi had created since obtaining the Soul Jade Entry.
This type of Soul Jade not only had a stronger effect but also lacked the defect of dissipating if not used for an extended period.
[Entry Devouring initiated, devouring in progress...]
[Congratulations on obtaining "Blank Entry: Dark Stealth (Green Common)"]!
Xu Yi's eyes lit up instantly; he hadn't expected his luck to be so good, to obtain the "Dark Stealth" entry from the very first Evil Spirit he devoured.
He took a few glances and then averted his gaze, striding towards the woman. Noticing her scant clothing, she scread and shrank back.
At that mont, a faint pink mist drifted from the woman's eyes, her gaze went dull for an instant, and then it turned into full-fledged desire as she lunged at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi instantly grabbed hold of her.
The woman was not satisfied with this, using her hands and feet to wrap around Xu Yi's body, reaching out towards his chest, seeking more.
Xu Yi fixated on her exquisite features for two seconds, then reached towards the woman's smooth face... and viciously slapped her, the crisp sound resounding. A clear, red palm print appeared on the woman's pale face.
"Are you awake now? If you are, get dressed quickly and leave imdiately! I'm only giving you five seconds," Xu Yi said urgently.
Had it been any other place, Xu Yi might have given her a "deep lesson", but the circumstances were not right now, and he was already feeling the dark power surging from the ground.
The woman stood there dazed, taking a while to co back to her senses, the pink mist in her eyes having dissipated.
The mist was the temptative power left in the woman by the Evil God's Juvenile, capable of invoking the purest thoughts from the depths of one's heart. Unfortunately, she was jolted awake by Xu Yi's slap.
It was because of the pink mist that she could awaken so quickly from the fragrance of the Sleeping Flower. Xu Yi realized this, which is why he didn't act harshly.
The woman picked up her coat from the ground, covering herself, feeling a mix of sha and indignation.
She had actually taken the initiative to throw herself at a man, and even sought more from him.
The worst part was, she had been rejected, and in such a brutal manner. Her face felt hot, and not just from the slap.
Yet, for so reason, amidst her sha, she felt an unusual sensation, almost like the thrill Adam must've felt in the Garden of Eden when he took a bite of the forbidden fruit.
Xu Yi was unaware that the woman's thoughts were becoming twisted, and even if he were, he wouldn't have cared, as it was normal to have so aftereffects from the temptation of an Evil God.
The authority of the Evil God within him grew more restless. If it weren't for him firmly suppressing it, it probably would have activated on its own by now.
This was not a place to stay for long, so Xu Yi turned to leave.
"Wait for !" The woman, seeing Xu Yi leave without a word, was instantly frantic.
She picked up her clothes from the ground at the fastest speed she had ever managed, dressing on the move. Unable to run quickly in her high heels, she cast them aside and sprinted after Xu Yi.
Xu Yi had intended to return using the sa staircase, but his expression changed subtly, as the apartnt began to tremble slightly. It was already too late to go back the way he ca.
He kicked open the window at the end of the corridor, glancing down. The height alone would make an ordinary person's legs go weak.
But Xu Yi was expressionless, channeling the Fog of Obscurity into his body.
Just as he was about to jump out, the woman actually grabbed his waist.
"Please, don't leave behind, okay?" the woman pleaded desperately.
What kind of backup lover's script is this? Just because she removed so clothes, she wasn't even revealing as much as a bikini swimsuit, does it warrant this 'can't live without him' act?
Xu Yi was speechless. He could feel the increasingly restless evil aura beneath the apartnt and suddenly realized that without him, the woman might actually die.
"Hold tight!"
There was no ti left to think. Xu Yi leaped out of the shattered window, and the woman's body suddenly beca airborne, letting out a shriek as she clung tightly to Xu Yi's waist.
Xu Yi's body plumted rapidly, with his black trench coat billowing in the fierce wind, rustling loudly.
Just as he was about to be smashed into ground at, Xu Yi suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed the apartnt's outer eaves with a fierce grip. The power of the Fog of Obscurity and his muscles burst forth simultaneously, forcefully negating the descending montum.
When his body stabilized again, he let go, allowing himself to fall once more.
They were only three or four ters above the ground now. He landed solidly on the surface.
"Let go!"
The woman, still in shock, had been clinging to Xu Yi's waist. Hearing his command, she quickly let go.
Before she could compose herself, Xu Yi suddenly scooped her up around the waist and, his speed erupting again, dashed towards the exterior of the apartnt.
Carried by Xu Yi, the woman, after a brief two seconds of panic, instinctively reached out and wrapped her arms around Xu Yi's neck.
"Mr. Xu Yi!"
Soone suddenly called out to him ahead. It was a middle-aged man dressed in a suit, who looked sowhat familiar to Xu Yi, like a governnt exorcist.
But he had no ti for pleasantries now.
"Run!" he warned the man, then kept sprinting away relentlessly.
The exorcist hesitated briefly. Running wildly in the dead of night with a scantily clad beauty—what kind of bizarre scenario was this?
But his expression changed drastically. He turned sharply and began to sprint away alongside Xu Yi.
"Run! Run! Danger ahead!" the exorcist shouted while running.
The exorcists, responding to the governnt's call, prepared to enter the apartnt for investigation. Seeing Xu Yi running like mad, they instinctively started running as well.

A large swarm of exorcists followed en masse behind Xu Yi, most of them utterly baffled.
The ground suddenly shook, with the epicenter coming from the apartnt. The exorcists looked instinctively, their faces turning pale in an instant.
A surge of black fog erupted from the apartnt, rolling in all directions wildly. The plants around the apartnt, with their tender green leaves, withered and died upon contact with the black fog.
Upon seeing this, a chill ran down the exorcists' spines, and they ran even faster.
Xu Yi was at the forefront of the escape. Their reasons for running were different.
The exorcists feared their souls would be tainted if they were affected, whereas Xu Yi was afraid the authority of the Evil God, if uncontrolled, would expose his identity as a reserve for the Evil God.
Xu Yi made it to the highway and looked back at the old apartnt building.
The black fog stopped about ten ters from the highway and dissipated at a visible rate. The ground's trembling also ceased, and everything returned to calm as if the previous events were nothing but an illusion.
"Sis?"
A familiar voice ca from behind suddenly. A black rcedes glided silently to a stop at the side of the road, the car door opened, and an anxious-faced person jumped out.
Seeing the person's face clearly, Xu Yi paused for a mont, "Hardy, what are you doing here?"
Hardy, seeing Xu Yi, was even more surprised than Xu Yi was to see him. When he noticed the disheveled woman in Xu Yi's arms, he seed to be struck by lightning, standing there in a daze.
"Sis! You... you guys!" Hardy stuttered, pointing at Xu Yi but unable to finish his words.
The woman turned her face away, not letting Hardy see her, her cheeks flushed red.
