The Exorcist

Father Ruan calmed his mind and focused, and indeed felt a strong sense of oppression coming from behind, indicating that the formation had already closed. He didn’t know these people and didn’t remember anything. Yet they had shut him within a barrier. After coming out, he had first been trapped by the Bindings of Heaven and Earth, and was now sealed inside this formation. All these things made the anger in his chest burn even more fiercely, and he grew determined to kill Ruan Zhan.

Like an eagle, Father Ruan soared into the sky, taking the high ground. He couldn’t leave the formation but neither could that kid. As long as he had the high ground, the kid would be in his attack range no matter where he teleported.

However, when he struck with his palm, Ruan Zhan did not move. Wielding the Bloodwood Sword in his left hand, he deflected wind blades attacking from all directions to the ground.

Ruan Tian Yi was startled. He struck out with all his might again, but the situation remained the same. Although Ruan Zhan seemed a bit strained, he still managed to block his attack. He looked at his hand, then looked up at the moon that was already mostly covered, full of doubt. Although his strength was at its weakest, why had the kid suddenly become so strong?

“It’s my turn to attack, right?” On the ground, Ruan Zhan suddenly let out a loud shout and casually struck with a lightning palm.

Ever since they started fighting, the two had used the same moves. Their innate spirit power and cultivated spells all seemed to come from the same source. Having fought to this point, neither side held anything back and competed purely based on power. Therefore, Ruan Zhan’s lightning palm didn’t scare Ruan Tian Yi, but this time it was exceptionally strong. Although Ruan Tian Yi responded with the same move, he was almost struck down. But before he could think about it, Ruan Zhan’s wind blade arrived again. This time, he could no longer stay in mid-air and floated down.

“Worthy of calling myself your son, right?” Ruan Zhan asked half-jokingly, feeling extremely sad. As he spoke, he shot out a flaming handprint.

Two flaming handprints met, but since Ruan Zhan was human while Ruan Tian Yi was a spirit, the flames were different. One was yang and one was yin. He wasn’t able to withstand his father’s yin fire, and his father would have a hard time enduring his yang fire. While his father had yet to adapt to his sudden increase in strength, the clash between flames actually resulted in the yin flames being wiped out. Screams rang out repeatedly as the yang flames burned.

Ruan Zhan saw all this, and instead of feeling any joy, it was extremely unbearable and he was filled with doubts. If he was already in such a state now, how was he supposed to go through with taking his life? But he also had no choice! Throughout the long battle, he had continued to search for a way to remove the evil aura from his father’s soul. However, to his despair, he discovered it wasn’t possible. This meant that ultimately, his father’s soul had to be destroyed to fully remove the possibility of him demonizing.
