The group of people at the door were dumbfounded. The evil spirit that could release such terrifying pressure was slapped into a pig's head by this nonchalant man using the Codex as if he were fighting in a street brawl.
The evil goddess did put up a fight, but her slender limbs, which she swung wildly in anger, were so weak in front of that guy that she could only be beaten like a ball and sent flying around without any power to fight back.
"Stop! Stop right there!"
She finally couldn't take it anymore. Leaning against the wall, she gasped for breath and spat a mouthful of blood onto the floor, looking at Ye Xiao, who was dressed in black, with a mixture of anger and confusion in her eyes.
"Are you out of your mind?! Which sanctuary did you learn exorcism from???"
"Loren Sanctuary, what do you mean?"
As Ye Xiao spoke, she took out two metal rings with engraved sun symbols from her clothes and put them on her right hand. "You're already done? I haven't even used my full strength yet."
The girl wiped the blood still seeping from the corner of her mouth. "Enough! Damn it, didn't you see this girl is injured too?!"
Ye Xiao smiled, made a soft "crack" sound as she swung her wrist, and then clenched her fist. "It's okay, she'll be fine after a while."
"It would be a miracle if you could hold back! I've never seen anyone as..."
The other person couldn't find a suitable adjective for a moment, and after a pause, they spoke again, "...Such a brain-dead priest!"
"You're just not as skilled as others, how can you blame me?"
Ye Xiao shrugged and stepped closer. "Have you rested enough? Let's start the second round."
"Damn it! Damn it! Can't you just listen to people properly?!"
The filth clinging to the girl was really starting to give way. If the girl's body hadn't been so frail, she wouldn't have ended up being beaten up by mere humans. It was a disgrace.
Thinking this, He suddenly seemed to realize something, and his gaze shifted accordingly.
Right, couldn't He just change his body? Why is He standing here getting beaten up like an idiot?
But the priestess at the door of the room is not like this bastard in front of me; she can actually call upon holy light. If he didn't have the protection of a physical body and rushed over with his soul, he would surely be burned to ashes by the holy light.
So, His thoughts shifted, and His gaze returned to Ye Xiao.
By the way, why think so far ahead? This fake priest doesn't know how to use Holy Light at all! Why not just take over this bastard's body?
Ye Xiao noticed the ruthlessness in the other person's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up nonchalantly. He deliberately slowed his pace, intentionally giving the other person some time to think.
The next moment, just as he expected, the evil god, unable to bear the humiliation, suddenly burst out of the girl's body and rushed towards Ye Xiao.
It was a semi-transparent phantom shaped like mud. Apart from Ye Xiao, who could clearly see the creature's soul, only Chloe and Agnes, who were priests, felt their hair stand on end at that moment, sensing that something terrifying had appeared out of nowhere.
However, just as this mud-like evil god was about to touch Ye Xiao and thought he was about to succeed, he suddenly saw the man's uppercut suddenly light up with golden light.
How can this guy summon holy light?!?
A sense of foreboding arose in His heart in an instant, but it was too late. The fist, imbued with holy light, struck the muddy soul solidly, even imprinting the shape of the two sun rings on His fingers.
"bang"
The others only saw Ye Xiao's fist strike nothing but air, yet it produced a muffled thud that made the entire room tremble.
"It's kind of you to feel that I wasn't having a good time, so you specially brought your real body here."
Ye Xiao's radiant smile made the almost terrified evil realize that it had fallen into a trap, and it hurriedly bent down to try to rush back into the girl's body.
But getting out is easy; going back is not so simple.
Ye Xiao's merciless hand, enveloped in holy light, grabbed the girl's soul, which had not fully reattached to her body, like a pair of pliers. He forcibly pulled half of her soul from her body.
Since the opponent's shape was a lump of mud, Ye Xiao didn't know where the beginning or the end was. He could only grab the opponent and slap it like a meat patty with the holy light-covered codex.
"Stop hitting me... I'm going to die..."
The evil god uttered a weak plea; without physical protection, He would be utterly destroyed by the holy light if things continued this way.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao indeed stopped. He hadn't originally intended to completely eliminate this guy; otherwise, letting it possess him would have been tantamount to killing it.
But keeping the other party in a state of spiritual consciousness meant it might escape if he wasn't careful. So he kicked open the tightly closed window next to him and looked outside. Before long, he found a suitable container to seal the creature in.
A black dog is lying on the ground, dozing off.
Chapter Twenty-Two: The Black Dog's Fury
The bewildered black dog couldn't understand why a figure had suddenly descended from the sky and slapped something into its body.
The black dog howled and fell to the ground. After rolling over, it immediately jumped up and barked at Ye Xiao.
"You vile human!!! How could you commit such a blasphemous act!?? I am a noble god... Aww!"
Ye Xiao slapped the dog on the head. "Shut up, or I'll go get you another female dog to breed with."
"Damn human...! You... wait, what did you just say!? This is a male dog!!??"
The black dog's eyes suddenly widened in terror. It pawed frantically a couple of times before plopping down on its backside. Then it lowered its head and looked down, screaming, "Aaaaa, male dog!?! You damned thing!!! You damned thing!!!"
"I am the Mother Goddess!!! How dare you blaspheme me like this!!!"
"Uh...huh?"
Ye Xiao was stunned, looking at the black dog rolling around on the ground in a frenzy. This was the first time he had been so surprised by the dog. "Wait, with that hoarse voice, how could anyone tell you're female?"
"Why don't you come out again, and I'll get you a different one?"
"Damn it! Do you think you can just take off your clothes and come out whenever you want?! My soul is already damaged, I can't get out!!"
The black dog, completely losing its temper, charged at Ye Xiao in a panic, yelling, "I'll fight you to the death!!!"
This could only be a fit of impotent rage, and Ye Xiao casually slapped the other person down again.
The black dog went berserk. After being knocked down, it immediately started jumping around and barking wildly, wanting to duel with Ye Xiao.
However, to the unsuspecting villagers nearby, the scene looked like a friendly little dog playing with its owner.
It seemed that only Ye Xiao could understand what the black dog was saying; everyone else could only hear the black dog barking incoherently.
"Sigh, her mindset isn't very good."
Ye Xiao drove the black dog a few more times, then said impatiently, "Gredia, we're both Zoan-types, why don't you take over this guy?"
A fluffy cat's head popped out from Ye Xiao's collar with a "whoosh," and said, "Hey, don't talk nonsense! What do you mean by 'animal type'!?"
She bared her little paws, ready to slap the rude Ye Xiao, but then her gaze was drawn to the black dog on the ground. "Eh??"
"Ok?"
The black dog on the ground was stunned for a moment, then its eyes widened. "Huh!? You damned bastard, you even subdued the God of Greed!??"
Greta usually conceals her presence, and only deities familiar with her can recognize her when they see her.
This made Ye Xiao frown. "Do you know her, Greta? Is she from that village in Hell too?"
"Hey, it's not from hell, but this guy's aura feels familiar..."
Greta's round cat face beamed with a smile, but the black dog on the ground immediately covered its face with its paws and growled, "Shut up!!! Shut up!!! If you dare say that, I'll kill myself!!! You have no dignity at all, you might as well be dead!!! I'm going to kill myself!!!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, don't get agitated."
Seeing the other person's seemingly insane state, Ye Xiao felt a bit curious, but he could sense that if Greta were to reveal the other person's name, the other person might actually commit suicide out of shame.
Never mind, I can just sneak back later and ask Greta again.
"Let's put that aside for now, Greta, can this guy be your underling?"
"Hehe, I'd be more than happy to."
Greta jumped out of Ye Xiao's arms in a flash, her chubby body landing on the black dog's head, pinning it to the ground like a small gas cylinder, leaving it unable to move. "Hahahaha, you've finally met your match!"
A moment later, Chesia and Xiaozhao recovered from the initial fear of the evil god's oppressive aura and caught up.
"Mr. Ye, are you alright?"
The succubus rushed over, a worried look on her face.
"You despicable succubus! Are you even speaking human language?! What the hell could possibly be wrong with him? A scraped fist, perhaps..."
The black dog couldn't help but bark wildly again.
"Quiet."
Greta pressed her paw down on the dog's head.
Chesia looked at the black dog on the ground barking at her, and the golden retriever sitting upright with its paws tucked into its head, and was somewhat confused. "What is this...?"
"The evil god that was hiding inside that girl has been sealed inside this black dog."
Ye Xiao waved his hand, "Where are Chloe and the village chief?"
"Chloe is healing Anne... oh, the village chief's daughter..."
Chesia scratched her head. "She's quite badly injured."
"It's not just heavy! It's practically dead!"
The black dog howled angrily.
"Cough cough, oh no, I almost forgot about this. I'll go back and check it right away."
Ye Xiao hurriedly set off.
"drive!"
The kitten then sat on the black dog's head and gave commands.
Ye Xiao used this physical method to force the evil god to appear, but of course, this method would only be effective if he hit the opponent hard and hurt them, but it couldn't be fatal, since it was still attached to a human body.
So he considered it and realized that fists and knives were too hard; the Holy Codex was just right.
As for the injuries, with Chloe and Agnes, one a skilled priest and the other an expert arcane mage, and if all else fails, he can use his healing tentacles, so he can always be healed.
The quest "The Hatred of Shuizhong Village" has been completed.
[If the mystery is not solved, the reward "Unknown Item" will not be issued.]
"Ok?"
The system notification made Ye Xiao purse his lips. Why was it still like this? He had already solved the problem at its root, so what was the meaning of deducting an item from him?
Even though it probably isn't anything useful, there's still that annoying feeling of accidentally paying two extra dollars on the bus.
However, this reminded him to ask the black dog about its motives.
"Dog God, why are you here harming people?"
"How dare you speak like that, human?! Didn't the Holy Temple teach you manners and respect?! You're the dog!!!"
Greta extended her claws and poked them at the black dog's muzzle. "I suggest you think it over before you reply."
"Filthy demon! If I weren't injured... I'll talk! I'll talk! Don't try to get my mouth open with your stinking claws!!"
The black dog bared its teeth, "Who told them to betray me!"
"betray?"
Ye Xiao was puzzled.
Hmm, could there be some hidden story behind this?
"Those foolish humans, being human, yet they call those despicable and lowly orcs brothers, and even beg my mother to protect the orcs who go out to sea!? What a joke! How could my great mother protect such a trashy race? How dare they utter such blasphemous words! Even if I'm injured, I'll definitely teach them a lesson..."
"I was overthinking it. You're just a complete jerk."
Ye Xiao's lips twitched.
Chapter Twenty-Three: Victory Celebration Banquet
Back at the village chief's house, where she reunited with the others, Chloe was still using holy light to heal the village chief's daughter, Annie, who was covered in wounds.
Fortunately, perhaps because the situation had been too shocking, the village chief did not pursue Ye Xiao's somewhat rough exorcism methods. He still stood by the bed, wringing his hands, looking utterly bewildered.
When Annie slowly opened her eyes, bathed in holy light, and saw the village chief's worried expression, she uttered the word "Father." The latter no longer cared about anything else, stepped forward, and excitedly hugged his daughter.
Regardless of the process, as the sun set, his daughter no longer exhibited the strange symptoms she had shown before, suggesting that she had indeed been "cured."
Therefore, when the village chief saw Ye Xiao appear outside the door, he was very grateful. He grabbed Ye Xiao's hand and told the villagers to ask Lin to prepare a sumptuous meal for them.
This relieved Ye Xiao; the village chief was quite reasonable.
……
As evening approached, the long table in the main hall of the mountain hut where Ye Xiao and his companions were resting was laden with a variety of fragrant dishes.
