The house was quiet, except for the sound of the little girl humming children's songs, which came from the living room. Sam held the knife and walked very lightly towards the living room little by little, his heart beating fast.
"Please, I want to go home."
The little girl's voice suddenly sounded, with a crying tone, and she spoke into the air without looking back.
Sam's footsteps paused momentarily.
The next second, two demons sprang out from the shadows behind him, and pushed him to the ground. His face hit the floor hard, and the knife flew out of his hand and slid to the center of the living room. Sam struggled desperately, but was held down by the two demons, unable to move.
"Lilith Master is very sorry that she can't come." One of the demons laughed, his tone full of ridicule, "She had expected you to come. Winchester's boy is so stupid."
At this moment, the back door was pushed open suddenly, Ruby rushed in, picked up the knife on the ground, and stabbed the demon holding Sam's left leg to death. The demon let out a scream and disappeared into black smoke.
"Take the girl and run!" Ruby shouted at Sam, blocking another demon's attack with his backhand.
The remaining demon knocked Ruby to the ground with one punch, and the knife fell to the ground again. He stepped on Ruby's back, strangled her neck, and smiled cruelly, "Ruby, you are in big trouble. You betrayed Mr. Lilith. Wait until we take you back to the basement... It will be easy for you. We will make you regret escaping from Hell."
Sam got up from the ground and looked at Ruby being pinned to the ground by the devil. He looked at the despair and unwillingness in her eyes. His mind flashed back to the past few months when she trained with him and stayed with him through those dark nights without Dean. The words she said "This is not what Dean wants" flashed through his mind.
He closed his eyes, raised his hands, his eyes glowed with white light, and used all his strength to activate the exorcism spell. The obscure Latin words came out of his mouth, with unprecedented power, and ripples visible to the naked eye appeared in the air.
The demon let out a shrill scream, and the thick black smoke was forced out of the host's body and instantly dissipated into the air.
Ruby got up from the ground and looked at Sam, his eyes full of shock and disbelief. "Sam."
Sam gasped and looked at his hands, his eyes full of disbelief. He finally did it, and he could finally use his own ability to kill the devil.
"I'm fine, thank you." He raised his head, looked at Ruby, and showed a sincere smile to her for the first time.
Sam looked at Dean, his eyes full of seriousness and determination. "Ruby came back to save me. No matter what you say, she saved my life. More than that, she woke me up. The words she said to me... are what you would say to me. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be standing here today. I might have died somewhere long ago, either killed by a demon or drank to death by myself."
Dean looked at him, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing. He just picked up the whiskey and took another big sip.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, interrupting the conversation between the two. The cleaning staff's voice came from outside the door, gentle and polite. "Room service."
"No need!" Dean shouted immediately, his hand already touching the gun in his waist.
"Sir, I brought you a clean towel." The voice outside the door was still persistent.
Dean opened the door impatiently and said in a grumpy tone, "Can't you just leave it at the door? I told you there's no need..."
"I've arrived at this address." The cleaning lady suddenly spoke, her tone changed, it was no longer the gentle tone before, but the familiar voice of Ruby, "Let's go now. Walk through the bathroom window, don't stop, don't drive your car, don't go anywhere you usually go. The corridors and parking lots are full of demons, and the people of Alastair have surrounded this place."
Sam stood up instantly and reached for the gun in his waist. "Ruby?"
"It's me, I'm temporarily possessed by this cleaning lady, sue me." The cleaning lady pulled off the cleaning cap on her head, her eyes full of Ruby eagerness, "That unconscious girl? In Palus is lying on the floor of the cabin in the woods on the outskirts of the country, Anna is looking at her, I have to go back quickly. I will tell you in detail when you get there. Go quickly! It will be too late if it is later!"
Before he finished speaking, the cleaning lady's eyes instantly became blank, and she froze on the spot, looking at Dean with a look of confusion on her face. "Sir? I... Why am I here?"
Dean and Sam looked at each other and understood instantly. Bai Haorui had already picked up his coat and weapons and nodded to the two of them. "Come on, I looked at the bathroom window just now. There is an alley behind it, and there are no demons."
The three people moved quickly, turned off the lights in the room, climbed out of the bathroom window, and disappeared into the night. They avoided the demon in the parking lot, walked five kilometers, stole a pickup truck on the roadside, and drove towards the suburbs of Palus.
The cabin in the woods on the outskirts was hidden in the dense pine forest. Only a kerosene lamp was on, and the dim light shined from the window. The surroundings were quiet, with only the chirping of insects and the rustling of pine needles in the wind, and not even a trace of human sound.
The pickup truck was parked deep in the woods. Dean, Sam and Bai Haorui carefully got out of the truck and walked very lightly towards the cabin. Dean and Sam held up the gun, Bai Haorui held the mahogany sword, and Spiritual Sense scanned the entire hut. He was relieved after confirming that there were only two people, Anna and Ruby, inside, and there was no devil's breath.
Sam walked to the door of the hut, knocked lightly, knocked three times, paused, and knocked twice again. This was the password agreed upon by Ruby.
"Who?" Ruby's alert voice came from the door.
"It's us." Sam's voice was very low.
The door opened, Ruby opened the door, pulled the three people in, immediately closed the door, locked it several times, and blocked the door with a cabinet. She changed back into the body of the unconscious girl, her face was full of exhaustion, and there were many wounds on her body. She obviously took Anna all the way to avoid the devil's pursuit and suffered a lot.
Anna was sitting in the corner of the hut. When he saw the three people, he stood up immediately. His face was full of gratitude and fear, and tears fell instantly. "Thank you... I thought I would never see you again."
"It's great that you can come." Ruby breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the door, feeling exhausted.
"Well, thank you, give us a message." Sam looked at her with a gentle tone.
He walked quickly to Anna, squatted down, and asked in a gentle tone, "Anna, are you okay? Did they hurt you?"
"Well, it should be fine." Anna shook his head and looked at Ruby, "Ruby is different from other demons. She saved my life and protected me all the way."
Dean scratched his head and looked at Ruby with an uncomfortable look on his face. His tone was awkward, as if there was a stone in her mouth. "Yes, I heard that she is very good at saving people. I think I... that."
Ruby raised his eyebrows, looked at him, and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, "What?"
"I think I should thank you, for Sam." Dean turned her head away, not daring to look into her eyes, and her voice became smaller and smaller, "I just want to... you know."
"Don't make it difficult for yourself, Dean." Ruby smiled and shook his head, "I know you don't like me, it's okay, I don't care. As long as Sam is fine, that's enough."
"Okay, the embarrassing moment is over?" Dean immediately raised his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Ruby, "Let's get down to business, are Alastair's people still looking for us?"
Ruby was about to speak when Anna and Bai Haorui suddenly raised their heads at the same time and their bodies suddenly froze.
Anna's face turned pale instantly, his eyes were full of fear and nervousness, he listened to the sounds in the air, his whole body began to tremble, and his teeth clenched. Bai Haorui's eyes God suddenly shuddered, clenched the peach wood sword instantly, and Pure Yang True Fire all over his body instantly tightened. Two extremely powerful auras with divine pressure came from Spiritual Sense, approaching quickly.
"They are coming." Anna's voice was trembling with tears, "Angels... they are coming! They are talking, they say... they want to find me!"
"Go to the back room." Dean reacted immediately and shouted to Anna.
Sam immediately pulled Anna, pushed her into the back room, closed the door, and blocked her in front of the door. Dean, Ruby and Bai Haorui stood in the living room, Dean touched the gun in his waist, Ruby gripped the dagger tightly, Bai Haorui gripped the peach wood sword tightly, a faint True Fire lingered around him, he was wary of the door, and even his breathing slowed down.
"Where's the knife? Where's the knife that can kill demons?" Ruby looked at Dean with an urgent tone.
"Uh... well..." Dean scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
"Are you kidding?" Ruby's face turned dark instantly.
"Hey, don't look at me, Sam lost it when he fell down the stairs." Dean immediately threw the blame away.
Sam walked out of the back room with a speechless face. "Thank you so much."
"That's great, it's so perfect." Ruby rolled his eyes, his tone full of despair, "You two really know how to pick the right time to throw things away."
At this moment, the door of the cabin shook violently, the hinges groaned under the load, and then with a "clang", it was slammed open.
There were two people standing at the door, Castiel and Uriel.
Castiel was still wearing the beige windbreaker, with no expression on his face. Uriel stood beside him, wearing a black suit, with cold eyes, with contempt and hostility towards human beings. He looked at everyone in the room like a group of ants, and finally landed in the direction of the back room, with a cruel smile on his lips.
The cold and sacred aura emanating from the whole body instantly enveloped the entire cabin. The temperature in the air dropped sharply, and even the flame of the kerosene lamp began to tremble slightly and was almost extinguished.
"Please, tell me you are here to help." Dean looked at the two of them, "We have been haunted by demons all day today, and Alastair's people are everywhere."
Uriel's eyes swept over Ruby, his eyes full of disgust, as if he had seen something dirty. He finally turned back to Dean, his tone was cold, with undisguised hostility. "I can see it. Do you want to explain why you want to harbor that stain? And you still want to associate with a devil?"
"We are here for Anna." Castiel spoke slowly, his voice calm, but with unquestionable determination.
"Come for her... are you here to help her?" Dean felt a glimmer of hope in his heart and took a step forward.
"No." Castiel was silent for a few seconds, then slowly shook his head, and his words were like an ice pick, piercing into everyone's hearts, "She must die."
Anna let out a horrified sob in the back room. Dean and Sam froze in place for an instant. The hope on their faces was gone, leaving only disbelief and shock. Ruby clenched the dagger, his eyes full of vigilance, and stepped back towards the back room step by step.
Bai Haorui took a step forward and stood in front of Dean and Sam. The mahogany sword was placed across his chest. The Pure Yang True Fire around him instantly surged. The red-gold firelight collided with the angel's sacred pressure, and the floor of the entire cabin began to shake slightly. He looked at Uriel with cold eyes, without flinching.
When Uriel saw Bai Haorui, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the murderous intent in his eyes suddenly became stronger. "Oh, it's you again, this Eastern heretic. I didn't kill you last time in the Chinese restaurant. It was your luck. I didn't expect that you dared to stand in front of Heaven. You really don't know how to live or die."
"If you want to touch her, you have to get through me first." Bai Haorui's voice was calm, but undeniably tough, "Also, it was my mistake not to kill you last time."
"You are looking for death!" Uriel's eyes instantly became fierce, and the sacred pressure around him instantly surged. The walls of the hut began to crack, and streaks of white light condensed in his palms, forming a sharp spear of holy light, which was aimed at Bai Haorui.
Castiel immediately reached out to stop him, shook his head, with a warning in his eyes. Uriel snorted coldly, and restrained some of his pressure, but still stared at Bai Haorui, the murderous intent in his eyes not diminishing at all.
"What did you say? She must die?" Dean finally came to his senses and looked at Castiel, his eyes full of disbelief and disappointment, "She is just an innocent girl! She did nothing wrong!"
"She can hear our conversations, Dean. She can hear our deployments, our plans, and our actions." Castiel looked at him, his tone still calm, but with a hint of helplessness, "Once caught by Hell, Apocalypse will be defeated, Lucifer will surely come, and all mankind will be destroyed. For the sake of the overall situation, she must die."
"So you are going to kill her? Just because she can hear you talking?" Dean's voice suddenly rose, his eyes full of anger, "Aren't you angels? Aren't you protecting humans? Is this your protection? Kill an innocent girl?"
"Protecting mankind does not mean condoning a stain that will destroy all mankind." Uriel roared sternly, "Her existence itself is a blasphemy to Heaven and a threat to the Apocalypse plan."
"What's the difference between this and last Halloween, when you wanted to blow up the whole town?!" Sam blocked the door of the back room, his eyes full of anger, "Just for the sake of your so-called overall situation, you have to sacrifice innocent people? Is this the justice of your angels?"
"The difference is that this time we won't give you any time to hesitate." Uriel's eyes instantly turned cold, and he raised the Holy Light Spear in his hand again and pointed it at the door of the back room, "Hand her over in three seconds, otherwise, we will clean up you together. No one will be left behind, including demons, heretics, and humans who hinder Heaven's plan."
"One."
Uriel's voice fell, and the white light on the Holy Light Spear instantly surged, and the surrounding air was scorched with a sizzling sound. It carried the power of destroying the world, and as soon as he let go, the entire back room would be razed to the ground.
Dean and Sam immediately blocked the door of the inner room and raised their guns. Even though they knew that salt bombs and holy water were useless against angels, they did not flinch.
"Two."
The moment Uriel counted the second number, Bai Haorui moved.
He made a mistake in his steps, and Bone Refinement into Steel's physical body burst out at extreme speed, and his body disappeared instantly, leaving only a red-gold afterimage. With his left hand, "Three Altars Body-Refining True Fire Art" was running at full speed., the Pure Yang True Fire all around him instantly condensed, forming a huge True Fire sword curtain in front of him, which faced Uriel's holy light spear and struck it down hard.
"Boom--!"
The red-gold Pure Yang True Fire collided with the pure white angelic light, making a deafening roar. The shock wave instantly blew off the entire roof of the hut. Sawdust, gravel, and pine needles flew all over the sky, and the entire ground sank half an inch. Dean and Sam were shaken by the shock wave and backed away. They clung to the door of the back room and barely managed to stand still.
Uriel was shocked by True Fire's power and took a step back. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, which was immediately replaced by anger. He did not expect that this Eastern monk who was injured by him last time would dare to take the initiative to attack him.
"Heresy! You are seeking death!"
Uriel roared angrily, flicked his left hand, and three holy light darts shot towards Bai Haorui's three large acupoints with a sound of breaking through the air. At the same time, he came closer in an instant, condensed thick holy light in his right hand, and punched Bai Haorui's chest hard. This punch condensed his angelic power, which was enough to level a hill.
Bai Haorui's eyes did not change, his wrist flipped, and the peach wood sword pulled out a sword flower. The purple flame True Fire skyrocketed, and three holy lights hit the sword screen and were burned out by True Fire in an instant. Facing the punch from Uriel, he did not dodge or dodge, but also hit it with the same punch.
Bone Refinement into Steel's fist, carrying the power of Pure Yang True Fire, collided hard with Uriel's holy light fist.
"Crack--!"
Bones The crisp sound of shattering came, and the ground of the entire cabin instantly cracked with countless gaps. Bai Haorui staggered back three steps, each step leaving a deep foot on the floor. Seal, golden blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Uriel also took a step back, his fists trembling slightly, with a burnt black wound on them burned by True Fire, and the killing intent in his eyes became even stronger.
"Very good." Uriel's voice was cold, "Today, I will completely wipe you out and let you know the consequences of provoking Heaven."
The holy light around him instantly surged, and the entire hut was enveloped in pure white light. Countless blades of holy light shot towards Bai Haorui from all directions, blocking all his escape routes. At the same time, he formed seals with his hands, and a huge holy light array lit up at the feet of Bai Haorui, trying to imprison his movements.
This is the angel's confinement circle. Once locked, not even the demon lord can break free.
Bai Haorui's eyes widened, he silently recited Clear Heart Art, and quickly formed a seal with his left hand, pushing the fifth level of "Three Altars Body-Refining True Fire Art" to the extreme. Zhou The body of Pure Yang True Fire instantly mimicked and turned into countless tiny fire dragons, flying towards the blade of holy light. Each fire dragon accurately hit a blade of holy light, exploding golden sparks in the air.
At the same time, he stomped the ground with his right foot, and the red-gold True Fire burst out from under his feet, breaking through the confinement of the Holy Light Array. His figure flashed again, using extreme speed to avoid the remaining The blade of holy light appeared at the side of Uriel in an instant, and the peach wood sword brought True Fire with purple flames and stabbed hard at Uriel's waist.
Uriel didn't expect that he could actually break through his confinement circle. He immediately ducked sideways and slapped Bai Haorui on the back with his backhand. Bai Haorui had already expected it, and rolled his body forward to avoid the palm. At the same time, he flicked his left hand, and three flying swords formed by True Fire were shot towards Uriel's face.
Uriel raised his hand and used the holy light to block True Fire's flying face. But in this moment, Bai Haorui stepped forward again. The peach wood sword pulled out countless sword shadows, and the sword pointed directly at The key point of Uriel is that his swordsmanship is sharp and tricky, and combined with Pure Yang True Fire's power, all his moves force Uriel to defend, completely giving the opponent no chance to accumulate energy and cast spells.
Close combat is what Bone Refinement into Steel monks are best at.
Uriel was forced back by him. Several holes were burned into his suit by True Fire, and several wounds were burned into his skin. He was completely angry. He roared angrily. With a sound, the holy light around him exploded instantly, knocking Bai Haorui back a few steps. He clasped his hands in front of his chest, and a huge holy light sword struck Bai Haorui hard in his palm.
"Death, heretic!"
This sword condensed most of Uriel's angelic glory, enough to split a mountain peak, and even the space was slightly distorted.
Bai Haorui looked at the slashing holy sword, with no fear in his eyes. He took a deep breath and concentrated all his Pure Yang True Fire on the peach wood sword. All the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Talisman inscriptions engraved on the sword lit up, and the red gold and purple flames intertwined to form a huge fire dragon, which forcefully bit the slashing holy sword of holy light.
"Zizzizi--!"
True Fire collided with the holy light, making a harsh sound, and white steam flew all over the sky. Bai Haorui's feet sank into the floor little by little, Bones made an overwhelming crisp sound, and golden blood continued to drip from the corner of his mouth.
Uriel looked at Bai Haorui with surprise in his eyes, then sneered and increased his strength again, "Let's see how long you can last!"
The power of the Holy Light Holy Sword surged again, and cracks began to appear on the True Fire dragon body, and it was about to shatter.
At this moment, Bai Haorui suddenly laughed.
He suddenly withdrew True Fire, followed the power of the holy sword, and swooped down to avoid the sharp edge of the holy sword of light. At the same time, he concentrated all the remaining Pure Yang True Fire in his body on the tip of the mahogany sword, and used the inertia of his body's sinking to stab Uriel's chest fiercely.
This sword was the ultimate opportunity he gained by fighting the aftermath of the Holy Sword of Light.
He accurately calculated Uriel and struck the sword with all his strength. His old strength was exhausted and new strength was not yet generated, so he had no time to dodge.
The tip of the peach wood sword, with Pure Yang True Fire that burned everything, instantly pierced Uriel's chest, pointing directly at his angelic core - which is the source of angelic power. Once pierced by Pure Yang True Fire, even a powerful angel will be completely wiped out.
Uriel's pupils shrank suddenly, and for the first time there was a look of fear in his eyes. He wanted to retreat, but it was too late. He could only watch the tip of the peach wood sword piercing his chest bit by bit. The holy light barrier was as fragile as paper in front of True Fire.
If he moved forward even an inch, he would die.
At this critical moment, a figure moved over instantly and stood in front of Uriel.
It's Castiel.
He stretched out his hand and firmly grasped the blade of the Taomu Sword with his palm. Pure white holy light surged out from his palm, blocking the Pure Yang True Fire on the sword. Even though his palm was burned by True Fire and made a sizzling sound, he did not let go at all.
