Dean took advantage of Casey's dodge and punched her in the face. But Casey's body was as hard as iron. Dean only felt the fist hurt, but Casey kicked her in the chest. mouth, flew out and hit the pillar. "Dean!" Bai Haorui yelled. While distracted, he was hit on the shoulder by Casey's black energy. True Fire's armor shattered instantly, and there was a burning pain in his shoulder.
He gritted his teeth and forced the True Qi to force the black energy out of the body. He looked up at Casey and found that although she had the upper hand, she never made a fatal move - the kick just now could clearly kill. Dean's ribs, but only kicked him away; when the black energy hit him, he also retained three parts of his strength. "She showed mercy?" Bai Haorui was confused in his heart, but the movements of his hands did not stop, and he once again condensed the true flame of the lotus, fighting side by side with Dean.
The three of them fought in the basement for more than ten rounds. Dean's close combat, Bai Haorui's Daoist spells and True Fire's attacks all cooperated quite well. However, Casey was also strong, even with Yang Gathering Array The suppression of and Devil's Trap just barely maintained a tie. "It's not an option to continue like this." Bai Haorui gasped, sweat on his forehead, True Fire consumed too much, and his pubic area began to feel hot, "She is stalling for time!"
Casey stopped attacking and retreated to the center of Devil's Trap. The black energy slowly converged and returned to its human form, but its eyes were still pure black. "Do you want to know the truth? About Hell, about Azazel, about the coming disaster."
Dean looked at her warily. "What do you want to say?"
"Azazel is a follower." Casey's voice calmed down, "He opened Hell's Gate, not to free the devil, but to awaken Lucifer."
"Lucifer?" Dean was stunned, thinking she was joking, "That's just a legend."
"It's not a legend, it's real." Casey's eyes were a little complicated, "Hell's Gate opened, not only released the devil, but also loosened the seal of Lucifer. It won't be long before he comes to the world and brings Apocalypse."
When Bai Haorui heard the words "Lucifer", the golden light between his eyebrows suddenly beat violently, and True Fire Pill in his dantian spun wildly, as if he had encountered an extremely dangerous existence. "Lucifer?" He was shocked in his heart. "Early stage The biggest BOSS is about to appear! Damn it, when I watched the drama, I only watched the slices and only watched the climax scene. I wish I had watched the entire plot at that time! Now I only know that Lucifer is the key to Apocalypse, but I don't know the specific timeline and how to crack it!"
At this moment, the door to the basement was pushed open, and Sam followed Father Gil and walked in. "Dean! Haorui! Are you okay?" Sam breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them safe and sound, but when he saw Casey trapped in the trap, his face immediately darkened.
At this time, Father Gil and Casey looked at each other. "Do it!!" He suddenly took out a dagger from his arms and rushed towards Dean.
"Be careful!" Bai Haorui shouted, pushed Dean, and turned sideways to avoid the priest's attack. The peach wood sword swung, hitting the priest's wrist, and the dagger fell to the ground. The priest's eyes had completely turned black, and he punched Bai Haorui back. At the same time, he took a step back to avoid the dagger swung by Sam.
"Haha, you stupid guys, get out now and we won't kill you!" The priest waved his hand vigorously and pinned Sam to the wall. He turned his head and looked at each other with Casey. The black energy around the two of them suddenly surged. The temperature in the basement dropped sharply, and Yang Gathering Array's golden light dimmed a bit.
Casey's body flashed, and her sharp claws went straight to Dean's throat. The black air condensed into spikes in her palms, stabbing with a sound of breaking through the air. Dean rolled to avoid it, the silver short knife at her waist was unsheathed, and she slashed towards Casey's waist with her backhand - the attack was ruthless, even if the opponent was Even though he was a high-level demon, he was not afraid at all. The silver knife cut through the black air, leaving behind a faint white light. Casey sidestepped and slapped Dean on the back with his backhand. Dean groaned, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but used the impact to rush in front of the priest, pointing the short knife directly at the priest's heart.
"Looking for death!" the priest roared and punched, and the wind of the fist was filled with black energy, which could easily shatter the bones. Seeing this, Bai Haorui's true fire pill rapidly rotated in his dantian, and three soybean-sized real fire bullets condensed on his fingertips. With a flick of his finger, the real fire bullets shot towards the back of the priest's head with a golden stream of light. He knew that the priest was possessed by a high-level demon, and ordinary attacks were ineffective, so he could only use pure yang true fire to destroy the evil.
True Fire The bullet exploded the moment it hit the black air, and the golden flame spread. The priest screamed, and his movements were delayed for half a second. Dean Seize the opportunity, and stabbed the priest's shoulder hard with the short knife - silver Although the weapon was not fatal, it could cause severe pain. The moment the short knife penetrated, there was a sizzling sound of black air. The priest struggled wildly and punched Dean in the chest, sending him flying out and hitting a wooden box in the corner. The box instantly shattered.
Casey While Bai Haorui was distracted, the black energy turned into chains and wrapped around his ankles, pulling him back violently. Bai Haorui lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground. The peach wood sword flew out, and he immediately tied his hands. Seal, silently reciting the magic formula. "Three Altars True Fire, condense the talisman into an array!" Several yellow talismans scattered around him suddenly flew up and were ignited by True Fire, forming a circular talisman array in the air, with golden light shining everywhere, and the black air chains burned when exposed to light.
He turned over and stood up, condensed a half-foot-long True Fire blade in his palm, and rushed towards Casey. The Casey sharp claws collided with the True Fire blade, sparks flew everywhere, and the power of pure Yang burned her continuously. He retreated, but still suppressed Bai Haorui with his strong strength. "Your True Fire is indeed special, but it's not strong enough!" Casey sneered, and the black energy condensed into a giant palm, hitting Bai Haorui's chest.
Bai Haorui did not retreat but advanced, running the whole body True Qi, True Fire The blade suddenly grew to one meter long, forcibly splitting the black air giant palm, and at the same time suffered a blow on the shoulder With a palm strike, True Fire's armor shattered inch by inch, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. But with this momentum, he used the momentum to point the True Fire blade directly between Casey's eyebrows.
Casey glanced sharply, and turned sideways to avoid the vital point. The True Fire blade scraped across her cheek, burning a scorch mark. At this moment, the priest suddenly bumped into her from the side, hugging Bai Haorui tightly with both arms, and black air penetrated along his pores. Entering the body, trying to erode his meridians. "Let me go!" Bai Haorui roared, True Fire erupted in the Dantian, a golden halo filled the whole body, True Fire overflowed along the pores, and the priest screamed repeatedly, but still refused to let go.
Dean struggled to get up and saw that Bai Haorui was trapped. He picked up the peach wood sword on the ground and rushed towards the priest with gritted teeth. He knew that it was difficult for a mortal body to fight against high-level demons, but he still relied on the hunter's instinct to fight to the end. The peach wood sword was held by his hands., stabbed the priest in the back with all his strength. Casey wanted to stop him, but Bai Haorui used his last True Qi to trap Soul-Subduing Talisman. He could only watch helplessly as the peach wood sword penetrated the priest's body.
"Zi la--" The peach wood sword wrapped around the True Fire that remained in Bai Haorui. The moment it penetrated the black air, the golden flame burst out. The priest let out a shrill scream, and the black air escaped crazily, but he hugged tightly. Bai Haorui refused to let go. Casey broke away from Soul-Subduing Talisman and slapped Dean on the back. Dean flew backwards again and fell heavily to the ground. It was difficult to get up for a while.
Bai Haorui Feeling that the True Qi in his body is about to be exhausted, True Fire Pill there are bursts of tingling pain in his Dantian. He grits his teeth, the golden light between his brows flashes, and mobilizes the last trace of his original source True Fire, pouring into the priest's body along the peach wood sword. "Lotus pure flame, purify!" The pale golden lotus flame exploded from the priest's body, and the black energy continued to dissipate in the flame. The priest's body began to twitch, and the strength of his holding gradually weakened.
Casey looked at the flames in the priest's body with complicated eyes, but did not attack again. He just stood aside and the black energy slowly converged. When the last ray of black energy escaped from the priest's body, Bai Haorui could no longer hold on. Unable to hold back, he collapsed to the ground. True Qi was so exhausted that his eyesight turned black. Dean struggled to crawl to his side and stood in front of him, holding the silver knife tightly in his hand. Even though he was covered in wounds, his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle.
The priest staggered back a few steps, his eyes regained a trace of clarity, but were covered by the strong black energy. He looked at Casey, his voice hoarse. "We... don't want to fight anymore." Casey nodded, walked to him, and surrounded him. The black energy completely dissipated, and he returned to his human appearance, but the blackness in his eyes has not yet faded. "Hell We don't want to go back. We are tired of the mess left by Azazel and the threat of Lucifer."
She looked at Bai Haorui who was collapsed on the ground and Dean who was covered with injuries, and her tone was a little tired. "We have no intention of harming you. The previous temptation was just to find a place in the world for us to stay more comfortable and let those driven by desire to fend for themselves. If they are more determined, nothing will happen. Now that you know the truth, you can either leave or..."
At this moment, the wall was suddenly smashed by a truck, and gravel splashed. Bobby jumped out of the truck, holding the repaired Colt gun in his hand, with sharp eyes. "Let them go!"
It turned out that Sam couldn't find Dean and Bai Haorui, and was worried that something might happen to them, so he called Bobby for help before meeting the priest. After Bobby repaired Colt, he immediately drove over and saw Father Gil attacking the two people.
When Father Gil and Casey saw Colt gun, their expressions changed, but they still did not flinch and rushed towards Bobby, Bobby Colt, who reacted a little slowly, was thrown out by the two of them. Sam took the opportunity to break free, picked up Colt gun on the ground, and aimed at Father Gil.
"Sam! Don't shoot!" Dean shouted, "His host is innocent! We can exorcise the demon!"
Bai Haorui also hurried forward and took out the last card Clear Heart Talisman: "Wait! Don't kill the host! We can exorcise the devil!" He said he was about to get up and put the charm on the priest, but Sam had already pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" The gunfire sounded, and Bai Haorui subconsciously threw out a small fireball, hitting Sam's gun. The bullet deviated from the direction and hit the pillar next to it, splashing a piece of sawdust. "Sam! Are you crazy?" Bai Haorui looked at him in disbelief, "His body was just manipulated, and the host is innocent! You should save it if you can."
Sam was so shaken by the fireball that his hands shook and he almost dropped his gun. He looked at Bai Haorui with cold eyes. "There are too many uncertainties in exorcism! There is no need to take risks!" He raised his gun again and pointed it at Father Gil.
"No buddy! This is what you can say?!" Bai Haorui wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Sam pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the bullet accurately hit Father Gil's chest. The priest's body shook and fell to the ground. A black mist floated out of his body and dissipated in the air - he was completely killed by Colt gun.
Casey looked at the priest who fell on the ground, with a trace of sadness and anger in her eyes. She suddenly rushed to Sam, opened her arms, and shouted at Sam, "Kill me! I don't want to live alone without him! We didn't kill you in exchange for this result! I should have killed you from the beginning!"
Sam was stunned and held Colt's hand for a moment. Bai Haorui was also stunned. "The devil can be so emotional?"
Casey looked back at Dean and Bai Haorui with complicated eyes. "You are different from other hunters. You have a bottom line and a conscience, and you have not given up respect for life even in the face of the devil." She turned back and looked at Sam, "And you have begun to lose. In order to save, you gave up the bottom line, and in the end you will only become the person you hate the most."
Sam's eyes flickered for a moment, without saying a word, and he pulled the trigger again. The gunshot rang out, and Casey's body shook and fell to the ground. Black gas floated out of her body and dissipated in the air - her host also stopped breathing with the death of the demon.
Before dying, Casey's eyes fell on Dean, and his lips moved, as if he was saying something. Bai Haorui came closer and heard her weak voice. "Who is the devil?..."
Dean looked at the two corpses lying on the ground and remained silent. Bai Haorui had mixed feelings in his heart. "A demon has been in love with another demon for hundreds of years, how can it be so human? It seems that the boundary between good and evil is more blurred than I thought. Demons are not necessarily all evil, and humans are not necessarily all good."
Back to Lucky Star Inn, the air in the room was so heavy that it could squeeze out water. Dean threw his backpack on the ground and yelled at Sam, "Why didn't you hesitate? Those are living people who are possessed! We are hunters, not killers!"
"I don't have time to hesitate!" Sam clutched Colt gun, his knuckles turned white and his eyes were cold, "They are demons! What if the priest hurt you at that time? What if Casey breaks free from the trap? Exorcism takes time!"
Bai Haorui is sitting on the chair between the two of them. He understands Sam's desire to save Dean and understands that time is tight, but he cannot accept this way of Sam giving up his bottom line. "Sam, I know you want to save Dean You and me, I can understand your feelings. But the protective heart cannot be lost! We Expelling Evil are here to 'save', save the possessed host, and save the people harmed by demons, not to 'kill'. In the situation just now, it is obvious that we can exorcise demons, drive away demons, and save their hosts - with your personality, you will definitely choose to exorcise demons. I don't understand why you would directly kill them?"
"The past was before, and now is now!" Sam raised his head, with a hint of exhaustion and determination in his eyes, "After Hell's Gate opened it, everything changed. The devil is getting stronger and stronger, the success rate of exorcism is getting lower and lower, and there are too many uncertain factors! Instead of taking risks, it is better to kill the devil directly and be done with it!"
Bai Haorui's heart sank. "Grandma! Where the hell did my gentle and innocent Little Sam go? But not to mention that this method of handling is indeed simpler, but is this the original intention of Sam?"
Bobby walked into the room, put the repaired Colt gun on the table, and sighed, "This world is different anymore. There are more and more demons, and the so-called Apocalypse in their mouths is getting closer and closer. We You need strong power, but being strong doesn't mean you have to give up your kindness to people." He looked at Sam, "Colt gun is used to deal with evil demons, not to kill innocent hosts. Your choice today is very dangerous."
Bai Haorui nodded in agreement. "Bobby is right, Sam. It is not a good thing if you continue like this. Guarding is not killing, even if it is a demon, there is a difference. If even we give up the bottom line, what is the difference between us and demons?"
Sam didn't speak, just clenched his fists, turned around, walked into the bathroom, and closed the door. The room fell into silence. Dean scratched his hair irritably. Bai Haorui looked at the bathroom door, filled with worry.
Late at night, Bai Haorui was awakened by the sound of slight footsteps. He opened his eyes and saw Sam quietly walking out of the room and walking towards the parking lot. "Where is he going?" Bai Haorui was confused, quietly got up, ran "Three Altars Body-Tempering True Fire Art" to calm down his breath, and followed.
In the parking lot, Ruby was leaning on a black car and smiled when he saw Sam approaching. Sam raised Colt gun and pointed it at her. "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to help you." Ruby chuckled and walked slowly closer, "It seems that you already understand that if you want to save your brother, you have to do something that goes against your nature."
"Come near me again, and I will kill you." Sam's finger was on the trigger, his eyes were cold, but his body was a little stiff - he knew that Ruby might really have a way to terminate the contract.
Ruby stopped, with a hint of temptation in his eyes. "You won't kill me. Because only I know how to cancel Dean's contract, and only I can help you save him." She paused, "Only the devil knows the rules of Hell best. You need my help, Sam. Just like I need your power."
Bai Haorui, who was hiding in the corner, held his breath, and Spiritual Sense locked onto Ruby tightly. He could sense the powerful demonic aura on Ruby, and there was also a power that was deeply hidden, and he didn't know her true nature. What is the purpose? "This Ruby is not simple." He thought to himself, "She is close to Sam, it must not be for the bullshit reasons she said. There must be a conspiracy. With my current strength, it is not safe to take action. Let's see what she wants to do first."
Sam and Ruby faced off for a long time, and finally put down their guns. Bai Haorui saw him nodding, not knowing what he said, and then Ruby turned around and left the parking lot. Sam stood there, silent for a long time, and then slowly walked back to the hotel.
When he returned to the room, Dean had fallen asleep, frowning, as if he was having a nightmare. Bai Haorui sat on the edge of the bed, running "Three Altars Body-Tempering True Fire Art". True Fire Pill in the Dantian rotated slowly, and the burning sensation was stronger than usual - because of the death of the two high-level demons, although he did not kill them, the trace of original energy that escaped was enough for him to eat a full meal.
He looked at Sam's back. "Dean's contract only has one year left. In order to save him, Sam has begun to give up the bottom line. And Lucifer... Apocalypse is getting closer and closer. I have to practice quickly. I must break through as soon as possible and gather a stronger True Fire in order to deal with the next crisis."
Bai Haorui touched the peach wood sword at his hand. The blade of the sword glowed with a faint green light, and the golden light between his eyebrows shone slightly. "No matter what, the protective heart cannot be lost." He said firmly in his heart, "The previous plan only saved his own life, but it is definitely not enough to let the big screenwriter let them go. We have to work hard!"
In the darkness, Sam was lying on the bed, with his back to Bai Haorui, his clenched fists not loosened. The golden light beating between Bai Haorui's eyebrows and the faint black aura exuding from Sam's body formed a sharp contrast in the room.
