Xu Yi watched Jason warily. The latter had just been through a fierce battle, yet his aura hadn't changed in the slightest, as cold and indifferent as a block of ice.
What concerned Xu Yi even more was, how exactly had the other party gotten in front of him and then lay in ambush in the shadows?
Teleportation?! The thought flashed through Xu Yi's mind.
His expression grew grave. If Jason could teleport, there was no way he could outrun him.
Jason didn't give Xu Yi much ti to think; he once again picked up his large machete and walked towards Xu Yi.
Xu Yi twisted the switch on the bottom of the Exorcism Lighter, turning it into a Molotov Cocktail, and threw it fiercely at Jason, trying to delay his steps with this thod.

Then Xu Yi paid the price for the lack of information.
Jason advanced, swinging his machete, and cut three tis in two short seconds.
The first cut split the blazing lighter, the second forced Xu Yi to dodge to the left, and the third cut open Xu Yi's throat, with blood spraying out.
These three cuts were plain and unadorned, without a trace of flourishes, but this was the true art of swordsmanship for killing!
If Jason's swordsmanship could be classified, it would be at least at the "master level."
Xu Yi could only perceive the afterimage of the blade. This speed of cutting couldn't possibly be countered with common combat techniques.
He covered his throat, but he couldn't stop the gushing blood and eventually fell to the ground, unwilling to give in.
Xu Yi was dead.
The first Resurrection Coin activated, and ti reverted to 10 minutes prior.
The golden glow from the Resurrection Coin was so bright he couldn't open his eyes; Xu Yi instinctively shut them tightly.
"If you join us, this gun and its bullets, I'll give them all to you."
The familiar words reached his ears again, and Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at Jas, who was speaking confidently in front of him, and wanted to punch him, but he knew that would only worsen the situation, so he stayed calm.
"This is a big decision; I need to talk it over with my agent."
Xu Yi pulled out a "brick" cellphone, which Ailent had given him for convenience.
"Of course!" Jas wouldn't refuse, pondering if Xu Yi's ntion of consulting his agent ant he was tempted.
Xu Yi dialed the landline at Ailent's ho, and, coincidentally, Ailent had just returned and quickly answered the call.
"Boss! Is the resort fun? Are there bikini beauties?"
Ailent glanced at the kitchen, where his wife was busy and hadn't noticed him.
Knowing that Xu Yi was attending the opening ceremony of the resort, he teased in a relaxed tone.
Then he was stunned.
"What? Ailent had a car accident and is now unconscious in the hospital! Okay, okay, I'll co back right away!"
Xu Yi's cry of alarm ca through, and then the call click, hung up, leaving Ailent standing there in bewildernt.
When did I have a car accident?
At Crystal Lake's 'Deadly' Village, thousands of miles away, Xu Yi hung up and ntally apologized to Ailent. For the sake of his escape plan, he had to "sacrifice" Ailent a little.
"Mr. Jas, I'm terribly sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to leave," Xu Yi said, holding his phone with an anxious face.
As a researcher in Psychology, Xu Yi was well aware of how to act convincingly.
"Of course, if there's an ergency, you have to take care of it. It's not too late to co back here for a visit another ti," Jas replied, none the wiser, politely bidding him farewell.
He felt a bit disgruntled. Why did Xu Yi's agent have to get into a car accident right at this ti?
"Soone, drive Mr. Xu Yi away."
The tour vehicle traveled along the cobblestone path, and Xu Yi, claiming he "wanted to experience this unique vehicle," obtained the right to control the steering wheel.
The waiter responsible for seeing off guests imdiately experienced what was dubbed "The Fast and the Furious" – the sightseeing vehicle, with an 80 km/h speed limit, morphed into a Formula One racing car in Xu Yi's hands.
The cobblestone road was far from smooth, and the sightseeing car sped wildly, bouncing the waiter's stomach acid around.
"Faster! Even faster!"
Xu Yi pressed the gas pedal to the floor, feeling it was still too slow, alas, on such cobblestone paths, a common sedan simply couldn't make the drive.
Dark clouds chased after them, and once again lightning that split the sky descended. Xu Yi was very clear that with each lightning strike, the demon in Crystal Lake had awakened.
"Once we get out of this darned place, we shouldn't be chased any longer by Jason," Xu Yi thought, as he saw the doorway becoming ever near, and gradually he began to relax.
Just then, a large hand quietly landed on the waiter's head, twisting off the waiter's head far easier than opening a bottle cap, sending blood spraying everywhere.
Xu Yi sensed the commotion behind him and spun around fiercely. The familiar figure, the familiar hockey mask, and the large machete.
It was Jason! How could he be here?
At this ti, shouldn't he be dealing with Jas's Bodyguard Group? Could his killing pace really have escalated to this level?
That's not right!
Even if Jason was quick-handed, he couldn't possibly reach this extent.
As a killing machine, Jason's biggest weakness was the lack of an "area of effect" skill; it was not possible for him to quickly take care of so many people.
A thought suddenly struck Xu Yi; his complexion turned quite ugly.
Undoubtedly, Jason had been resurrected in Crystal Lake, where there had been many people by the shore, so why didn't he comnce a slaughter there, instead of going out of his way to the area around Jas's room?
Piecing together the previous events in the room, where he was targeted first, Xu Yi instantly understood.
Jason possessed a formidable Perception Ability and would prioritize killing those who posed a threat!
Who could be a threat to a demon? Naturally, only an exorcist. Therefore, the three exorcists in Jas's Bodyguard Group were probably the first to die.
What's worse, in hunting exorcists, Jason followed a principle of "far before near."
In simpler terms, whoever ran fastest was targeted first.
Xu Yi clenched his teeth in irritation. Damn Jason, even prioritizing his killings.
By running away earlier, he had inadvertently drawn Jason's attention away from Jas, but he guessed that it probably wouldn't be long before Jas saw the sa fate.
Xu Yi harshly turned the steering wheel, attempting to shake Jason off the car, which was an open-top sightseeing vehicle.
But Jason clung steadfastly to the overhead steel beam, with a strength great enough to crush steel, making the idea of throwing him off a fool's dream.
Xu Yi decisively leapt out of the car and, while rolling to dissipate force, he fished out the Exorcism Lighter from his pocket, twisting the chanism to transform it into a Molotov Cocktail, and hurled it hard at Jason.
This ti Jason couldn't slice through the lighter, and the lighter exploded thunderously, the Ethereal Fla engulfing Jason.
The sightseeing car, having lost control, flipped over, and the leaking oil was ignited by the flas, causing another explosion.
Even under the scorching flas, Jason remained silent. However, he didn't imdiately pursue Xu Yi. He stood stunned for a mont before stepping out of the flas.
Xu Yi identified a not-so-weak point of Jason, the exorcism flas affected him.
Without daring to linger, he turned and continued to flee for his life.
Although Xu Yi was unwilling to surrender without a fight, he still ended up unable to avoid his fate of being cut down by Jason's blade.
Lying in a pool of blood, Xu Yi stared quietly at Jason, who was simply too powerful, not soone he could currently handle.
He died once more and returned to the Resurrection Space.
Xu Yi cald down and thought it over. Although he lost a Resurrection Coin, it wasn't all for naught; at least he understood Jason's "hunting mode."
"Could this be used to our advantage?" he pondered.
A new plan slowly took shape in Xu Yi's mind.
The Resurrection Coin shone with dazzling light once again; he had already used one Resurrection Coin, and today he could use four more.
