Dean's body shook and almost fell. He held on to the table, his face as pale as paper, his eyes full of despair and fear. "Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Sam..."
"Dean, listen." Castiel grabbed Dean's shoulders and shook him hard, "It's not too late now. You must find Sam and stop him. This is Our only chance. Also, find Bai Haorui. Only he can help us. He is the only one who can break this script. Heaven and Hell are chasing him because they are afraid of him."
Dean raised his head, hope rekindled in his eyes. He nodded vigorously. "Okay. Okay, let's go."
Castiel shook his head and said in a heavy tone, "I can't go with you. I have to stay and hold Zachariah." He stretched out his hand and placed it on Dean's forehead. "Close your eyes."
Dean Close your eyes.
A white light flashed.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing at the door of Bobby's house.
Dean was stunned for a few seconds, then slammed the door open and rushed into the house.
"Bobby! Bobby!" he shouted.
Bobby walked out of the kitchen, holding a wrench in his hand. When he saw Dean, a look of surprise appeared on his face. "Dean? Why are you back? Where are those angels?"
"There is no time to explain." Dean grabbed the car keys on the table, "We must find Sam immediately. He is going to kill Lilith, and Lilith is the last seal. If he kills her, Lucifer will come out."
Bobby's face instantly became solemn. "What? How is this possible?"
"It's Heaven's conspiracy." Dean shouted as he ran outside, "They have been planning to make Lucifer rise!"
Bobby quickly followed. "Then where should we find him now?"
"St. Mary's Convent, Maryland Ilchester." Dean jumped into the car and started the engine, "Lilith will be there tomorrow at midnight. Sam must be on the way there already."
The car suddenly rushed out of the scrapyard and sped away in the direction of Maryland.
In the dim motel room, the curtains were tightly drawn, and only a bedside lamp gave off a faint yellow light. There was a faint smell of musty and cigarette smoke in the air.
Sam was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the laptop screen, tapping the keyboard with his fingers quickly. The blue light of the screen reflected on his face, making his face look even paler. Ruby stood behind him, with his hands folded across his chest, his eyes full of anticipation, like a hunter waiting for his prey to take the bait.
Sam suddenly stopped what he was doing, frowned, and said in an unbelievable tone, "You must be kidding."
"What?" Ruby stepped forward, looked at the computer screen, and asked doubtfully.
Sam pointed at the screen, with a heavy tone and his voice became lower and lower. "Look at this. St. Mary's Convent--Abandoned in 1972 because a priest killed eight nuns by caesarean section."
Ruby raised a proud smile at the corner of his mouth and teased in a relaxed tone, "What is black and white and red?"
Sam turned his head sharply, stared at her with cold eyes, and said in a stern tone, "This is not funny."
He turned back and continued to stare at the screen, sliding his fingers over the mouse and browsing more information. "The priest said it was not his fault. He said it was a demon who forced him to do it. And he even remembered the name of the demon."
"Really?" Ruby raised his eyebrows with a curious tone.
Sam took a deep breath and slowly spit out two words, with a hint of chill in his voice. "Azazel."
The smile on Ruby's face became even brighter, with a hint of excitement in his tone. "Wow. So, Lilith, Yellow-Eyed Demon - all the big names have been here. This place is definitely qualified."
"As the place where the last seal was broken." Sam's eyes were solemn and his tone was low. He slid the mouse and clicked on an old photo. The photo showed what St. Mary's Convent looked like back then. The white building and the towering spire looked sacred and solemn. But in the corner of the photo, there was a blurry black shadow, like the shadow of a person.
Sam Zoomed in on the black shadow and frowned even more tightly. He always felt that the black shadow looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
"Okay, that's enough for me." Ruby patted Sam's shoulder and said in a brisk tone, "Let's pack 'Nurse Betty' and hit the road."
Sam did not move, lowered his head, and unconsciously rubbed the edge of the computer with his fingers, and said in a hesitant tone, "Hey, maybe, um... listen."
"What?" Ruby frowned, her tone impatient. She hated Sam being hesitant at this time.
Sam raised his head, his eyes full of struggle and intolerance. "Maybe we can find another demon."
"Sam, no." Ruby's face darkened and her tone became stern. She grabbed Sam's arm and squeezed it hard. "That whining 'don't hurt me' nonsense - it's just an act. She's playing tricks on you. What the devil is best at is taking advantage of human sympathy."
Sam shook his head, his tone uncertain. "I'm not sure. She looks... very real."
"Even if she is not, there is still a Hell bitch sleeping inside." Ruby said in an urgent tone, with "worry" in his eyes, "Please, it's not like you haven't done this before, right? Think about the people she killed. Think about the victims. Think about your mother. Do you want their deaths to be in vain?"
Sam's body stiffened slightly. His mother looked dead on the ceiling. There was a flash of pain in his eyes, and then he became firm again.
"You're right." Sam nodded, stood up, "Let's go."
He walked to the window and opened a corner of the curtain. The sky outside was terrifyingly gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if it was going to rain. The wind was blowing loudly, making the branches sway wildly and making a rustling sound.
He took out his mobile phone and saw two missed calls displayed on the screen, one from Dean and one from Bai Haorui. There was also a voice message from Dean.
Sam's fingers hesitated on the screen for a long time, and his fingertips trembled slightly. He wanted to click on the message and listen to Dean's voice. But he was afraid, afraid that after hearing Dean's voice, he would waver and give up.
In the end, he still didn't click it. He threw the phone back into his pocket, his eyes full of pain and guilt.
"Dean, Haorui, I'm sorry." He said silently in his heart, "I can't answer your calls. I'm afraid that I will be shaken as soon as I hear your voices. When I kill Lilith, I will explain everything to you. At that time, you can scold me as much as you want."
He touched his chest and could feel Lilith's breath not far away, like a dark whirlpool, calling him. The demon's blood was beating crazily in his veins, eager to fight Lilith.
"All this will be over soon." Sam took a deep breath and his eyes became firm, "As long as we kill Lilith, everything will be over."
He turned and walked out of the room, Ruby following behind him.
Walking to the car, Sam opened the trunk. Cindy was huddled in the corner of the trunk, covered with a shabby blanket. When she saw Sam, she was trembling with fear, hugging her knees tightly, her eyes full of fear.
"Please, let me go." Cindy's voice was hoarse and crying, "I still have a daughter, she is only three years old. She can't live without her mother. Please."
Sam He turned his head away, not daring to look into Cindy's eyes. "I'm sorry." He whispered, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
He closed the trunk lid and leaned on the car. Ruby walked up to him and patted his back gently, but there was no sympathy in his eyes.
"Don't think too much, Sam." Ruby's voice was gentle, "We will reach the monastery soon. When you kill Lilith, you will be the hero who saves the world. Everyone will thank you."
Sam said nothing. He got into the driver's seat and started the car.
The black car left the motel and sped away in the direction of Maryland. The scenery outside the car window was retreating rapidly, the sky was getting darker and darker, and a storm was coming.
The smoke from the battle had not dissipated, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur and burning barbecue. Bai Haorui shook off the remaining black blood on the mahogany sword, and the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Talisman inscription on the sword gradually dimmed. He walked to the pickup truck, opened the door, and was about to get in when Divine Sense suddenly heard a violent warning.
The sound of dense footsteps came from the woods on both sides of the road, and the "click" sound of branches being trampled was heard one after another. Then, forty black figures rushed out of the woods and surrounded the gas station.
Thirty six demons were dressed in tattered clothes, with pure black eyes and ferocious smiles on their faces. They held various weapons in their hands: Hell sickles, coldly shining demon daggers, and human Sticks made of Bones. Four demons that were obviously more powerful stood at the front of the demon group. They were wearing black leather clothes and were tall. They exuded a demonic energy that was several times richer than other demons. They stared at Bai Haorui fiercely.
The leader of the demon kept his hair bare. He played with the demon dagger in his hand and said with a sneer, "Bai Haorui, Lilith has an order, and your life will be taken today. Don't even think about taking another step forward."
Bai Haorui opened the car door and walked out. He held the mahogany sword in front of him, and the purple-gold True Gang was poured into the sword again along his arm, and the runes on the sword once again lit up with a faint golden light. His eyes were calm, as if the forty demons in front of him were just a group of ants. "You trash, you want to stop me?"
"Seeking death!" the devil roared angrily and waved his hand, "Fuck him! Cut him into pieces!"
Thirty-six demons let out ear-piercing roars and swarmed towards Bai Haorui like a tide. Their speed was so fast that the concrete floor beneath their feet was cracked with fine lines. Black demonic energy condensed in their hands, forming sharp air blades that shot towards Bai Haorui.
Bai Haorui took a deep breath and ran "Three Altars Body-Refining True Fire Art". The purple-gold True Gang flowed rapidly in his meridians. He touched the ground with his toes, and rushed out like lightning, actively facing the demon group.
His speed was very fast, leaving blurry afterimages in the air. The peach wood sword turned into a purple-gold stream of light in his hand, flying up and down, drawing beautiful and deadly arcs.
"Pfft!"
The first demon rushed in front of Bai Haorui, wielding the Hell scythe and struck him hard on the head. Bai Haorui turned his body slightly to one side, avoiding the blow of the scythe. At the same time, the peach wood sword was raised from bottom to top. The sharp blade easily cut through the demon's throat, and black blood spurted out. The demon covered its neck, made a "ho ho" sound, fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and dissipated into a wisp of black smoke.
Bai Haorui did not pause, took a step forward with his left foot, rotated his body 360 degrees, and swept out the mahogany sword. The purple-gold True Gang pulled out a two-foot-long light blade on the blade and cut off three demons that were charging side by side. Black blood spattered on the ground, and before the three corpses even hit the ground, they were burned to ashes by the remaining True Fire on the sword.
He quickly reached into his arms with his left hand and took out a stack of Evil-Breaking Talisman and Blazing Fire Talisman. With his fingers flying, the talisman flew out like snowflakes.
"Those who are about to fight must march forward in formation!"
Bai Haorui recited a spell silently in his mouth, and the talisman automatically burned in the air, turning into dozens of golden fireballs and golden blades of light, flying towards the group of demons.
"Boom boom boom--"
Explosions came one after another. Golden fireballs exploded among the demons, and the flames instantly swallowed more than a dozen demons. They let out shrill screams, struggled and rolled in the flames, and soon turned into ashes. The golden light blade was like a sharp knife, cutting the remaining demons into pieces.
A demon took advantage of Bai Haorui to deal with the demon in front of him, sneaked around behind him, and clawed at his back with black evil energy. It had a ferocious smile on its face, as if it had seen Bai Haorui being disemboweled.
Bai Haorui didn't look back, as if there were eyes behind his back. He twisted his right wrist and thrust the mahogany sword backwards, moving as fast as lightning.
"Pfft!"
The peach wood sword pierced the demon's heart accurately. The purple-gold True Gang poured into its body along the sword blade, completely destroying its soul. The smile on the demon's face instantly solidified, and its body fell softly.
At the same time, another demon rushed over from the side, opened its huge mouth, and bit Bai Haorui's neck. Bai Haorui kicked his left foot back, bent his knees slightly, and kicked the demon's chin accurately with his toes.
"Crack!"
There was a clear sound of bone cracking. The demon's jaw was kicked to pieces, and its body flew out like a kite with broken strings, hitting the wall of the gas station heavily. A large hole opened in the wall instantly, and the demon's head sank into the wall, and its brains burst out, killing him on the spot.
Bai Haorui's body movements are agile and he shuttles freely among the demons. Every movement he makes is precise and efficient, without any redundancy. Every time the peach wood sword is swung, a demon falls down; every time the spell is thrown out, a group of demons are destroyed. The demons' attacks cannot touch the corners of his clothes at all, and they can only wave their weapons in vain and let out angry roars.
Ten minutes later, the last demon was beheaded by Bai Haorui with a sword.
The gas station was in a mess, with black blood stains and ashes left behind after the demon turned into black smoke everywhere on the ground. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and burning.
Bai Haorui stood up with his sword put away, panting slightly. Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead and flowed down his cheeks. This wave of fighting also consumed 20% of his True Gang, and his physical strength was also slightly depleted.
The four more powerful demons looked at each other, with a solemn look in their eyes. They did not expect that Bai Haorui was so strong, and that the thirty-six elite demon warriors were vulnerable to him. But they did not flinch, Master Lilith's orders could not be disobeyed, and they believed that with the strength of the four of them, they would be able to kill Bai Haorui.
"Come together! Kill him!" Scar Demon roared and rushed towards Bai Haorui first.
The other three also took action at the same time, attacking Bai Haorui from the left, right and back directions respectively. The weapons in their hands were condensed with rich black demonic energy, making a "wuwu" sound.
Bai Haorui had a sharp look in his eyes and did not dare to be careless. He moved his whole body True Gang and unfolded two layers of spherical shields in front of him. The first layer of shields was lavender, and the second layer was dark purple. The two layers of shields were stacked on top of each other, firmly protecting him in the middle.
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"
Four loud noises sounded almost at the same time. Four weapons hit the shield at the same time, and the huge impact made the entire gas station tremble.
The first layer of lavender shield shattered instantly, turning into dots of purple light and dissipating in the air. The second layer of dark purple shield also shook violently, and dense cracks appeared on the surface, spreading like a spider web.
Bai Haorui was shaken by the huge impact and took two steps back. The concrete floor under his feet cracked with two deep marks. A fishy sweetness surged into his throat, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"It's interesting." Bai Haorui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes became sharper. He no longer retained his strength and completely integrated Samadhi True Fire and True Gang in his body.
Red flames surged out of his body and wrapped around the mahogany sword. The flames grew stronger and stronger, and soon rose to more than three meters high, illuminating the entire abandoned gas station red. The temperature of the flames was so high that the surrounding air was roasted and twisted, and the asphalt on the ground began to melt.
"Three Altars Body Refinement, True Fire Slash demon!"
Bai Haorui shouted loudly, held the sword in both hands, and slashed down from the top of his head.
A ten-meter-long True Fire sword energy flew out from the mahogany sword, carrying blazing flames, and swept towards the two demons in front. Wherever the sword energy passed, a deep ravine was plowed into the ground, and the cement floor was cut open like tofu.
The faces of the two demons changed drastically and they tried to dodge, but it was too late. True Fire sword energy swallowed them up instantly.
"Ah--"
They let out a shrill scream, and their bodies were split in half by the sword energy. Black blood spurted out, but before it hit the ground, it was completely evaporated by the high-temperature flames. Their bodies quickly turned into black smoke and dissipated in the air.
The remaining two mid-level demons were frightened when they saw this. They knew that they were no match for Bai Haorui, so they looked at each other and launched spiritual attacks at the same time.
Countless cold and vicious voices sounded in Bai Haorui's mind, like countless needles piercing his brain:
"Give up. You can't change your destiny."
"The world is doomed. Everything you do is in vain."
"You will die in vain. No one will remember you."
These voices carry powerful spiritual power, trying to disturb Bai Haorui's mind and make him feel desperate and give up.
Bai Haorui Lotus Seal between the eyebrows suddenly lit up, emitting a warm and dazzling golden light. The golden light spread instantly and dispersed all mental attacks without a trace.
Bai Haorui's mind returned to clarity, and he looked at the remaining two demons with a sneer, "Is this all you have? You dare to come and kill me?"
Before he finished speaking, his body flashed so fast that only an afterimage remained.
He first appeared in front of the mid-level demon on the left. Before the demon could react, the peach wood sword in Bai Haorui's hand had already pierced its heart. The purple-gold True Gang poured in, completely destroying its soul.
Immediately afterwards, he appeared behind the demon on the right, and the peach wood sword pierced it from behind, accurately piercing its heart.
The whole process takes less than a second.
The two demons didn't even have time to let out a scream before they turned into black smoke and disappeared.
Bai Haorui sheathed his sword and let out a long sigh of relief. His True Gang had consumed 30% of his energy and some of his mental power. Although the mental attacks of the two demons just now were easily resolved by him, they still made his soul feel a little tired.
He glanced at his watch. The time was 11:30 am.
He walked to the pickup truck, opened the door, took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and drank heavily. The cold mineral water flowed down his throat, which made him sober.
While drinking his Divine Sense, he suddenly got an early warning that a powerful angelic energy was approaching quickly. There were fifteen strands in total, 14 of which had the same energy intensity and should be ordinary Heaven warriors, while the other one had much stronger energy and was obviously an elite angel.
Bai Haorui tightened the mineral water bottle and threw it aside. He held the mahogany sword tightly, and the purple-gold True Gang filled the sword again, and his eyes became solemn. "Heaven's people are here too."
He looked up at the sky with firm eyes. "Zachariah, Lilith, if you have any other means, just use them."
A flash of white light flashed, and Dean appeared at the door of Bobby's house. He staggered, holding on to the door frame, and barely managed to stand still. The space shift just now made him a little dizzy, but he ignored it, pushed open the door, and rushed in.
Bobby was sitting at the table, carefully wiping a shotgun. The smell of gun oil filled the air. Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he was startled. He immediately raised the gun and pointed it at the door, his eyes wary. "Who?"
"It's me, Bobby! It's Dean!" Dean raised his hands and said eagerly.
Bobby put down the gun with a surprised expression on his face. He looked up and down at Dean and saw that his face was pale and his eyes were full of anxiety and exhaustion. He couldn't help but frown. "Dean? Why are you back? Where are those angels? What did they do to you?"
"There is no time to explain." Dean did not answer his question. He rushed to the table, grabbed his coat and car keys, and spoke as fast as a machine gun, "Sam is in danger. We must find him immediately. The last seal is Lilith. When The moment Sam kills her, Lucifer will come out. Those angels have known all this for a long time. They have been using us. They want Lucifer to rise, and then let Michael possess me and have a fight with him."
Bobby's eyes suddenly opened wide, with an expression of disbelief on his face. The gun cleaning cloth in his hand fell on the table. "What? Fake!"
"Let's go." Dean said firmly, his eyes full of anxiety and pain, "Castiel told me. He helped me escape. Now we must find Sam before midnight and stop him." Also, we must find Bai Haorui. Castiel said that only he can help us. He is the only one who can break this script. Heaven and Hell are both chasing him."
Bobby immediately stood up, grabbed his hat and put it on his head, then picked up the shotgun leaning against the wall. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
The two rushed out of the house, jumped on Chevrolet Impala. Dean and started the car. The engine made a low roar. He stepped on the accelerator and the tires rubbed against the ground, making a piercing scream and leaving two long black brake marks. The car rushed out of the scrapyard like a black lightning.
Dean Pressed the accelerator to the bottom, and the car's speedometer pointer rotated crazily, and soon pointed to 190 kilometers per hour. The car was speeding on the road, and the scenery outside the window flew past quickly, turning into blurry light and shadow.
Bobby was sitting in the passenger seat, constantly checking the location of St. Mary's Convent with his mobile phone, and at the same time dialing Bai Haorui's number over and over again. However, there was always a cold "The user you dialed cannot be reached temporarily" tone came from the other end of the phone.
"Found it." Bobby looked at the phone screen and said in an urgent tone, "St. Mary's Convent is at Maryland Ilchester. It's about two hours' drive from here. Haorui's phone number can't be reached."
Dean gritted his teeth, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white. His eyes were firm, staring at the road ahead. "We must arrive before midnight. We must. Haorui will be fine. He is so strong, no one can kill him. He will definitely come over."
Bobby looked at Dean's tense side face, his eyes full of worry. He was silent for a while and asked softly, "Dean, are you sure what Castiel said is true? What if he lied to you? What if this is another trap of angels?"
Dean shook his head and said with certainty, "He didn't lie to me. I can see it. He really wants to help us. Moreover, this is all too reasonable. From the beginning, those angels have been preventing us from killing Lilith. They always have all kinds of excuses. Now I finally understand why. They don't want to stop Apocalypse at all. They want to use Apocalypse to solve Lucifer once and for all."
Bobby sighed with a heavy tone, "Then Sam... does he know? Does he know that killing Lilith will break the last seal?"
Dean's eyes were full of pain and remorse. He punched the steering wheel hard and made a loud "dong" sound, "He doesn't know. Ruby has been lying to him. She told him to kill Lilith can save the world. But in fact, she was guiding him to break the last seal. This is all my fault. If I had stayed with him, if I had not said those hurtful words to him, he would not have been deceived by Ruby. He would not have reached this point today."
"It's not your fault, Dean." Bobby patted Dean's shoulder with a gentle tone, "No one thought that things would turn out like this. What we can do now is to find Sam as soon as possible and stop him. Haorui will definitely come over. He has never let us down."
Dean nodded without saying anything. He stepped on the accelerator harder. The speed of the car increased again, like a black lightning, speeding through the night.
He looked at the endless road ahead and prayed silently in his heart. "Sammy, wait for me. Must wait for me. Don't do anything stupid. Haorui, you must come here. We need you. God, if you really exist, please, bless Sam. Bless Haorui. Bless us that we can arrive in time."
