Chapter 551: This Exorcist Is Very Ferocious and Cruel

"Captain, are those three really exorcists?"

A field operative with a somewhat shrinking posture asked quietly.

As the captain of a field squad, he was a veteran who had served for several years.

Several years' time, on the field personnel side, meant a very good seniority, and also represented that this person's capabilities were quite remarkable.

Field personnel is an extremely high-risk profession.

On the demons' kill list, they ranked near the top; when demons discovered field personnel, in the vast majority of cases they would tear off their disguise and kill them.

Unless they had more important matters, such as killing exorcists, seizing Sacred Hearts, or being given other orders.

Field personnel's salaries were very high, high enough that working for five years was sufficient to live a lifetime without worries about food and clothing.

If they performed well, they could even live a lifetime in comfort.

But even so, the ultra-high casualty rate made many people shrink back.

Field personnel generally fell into two types: one, those truly detached from base interests and noble; two, those desperadoes who didn't care about their lives.

Even the latter, after working for a while, would either leave or also become very good people.

A saying goes well: "Before I had no choice; now I want to be a good person."

In the exorcists' cultural curriculum, besides learning more demon-related information they must know, there was also a maxim that must be known:

"We are guardians wielding sharp swords, but please remember, the ordinary people fighting shoulder to shoulder with us, they are the true great heroes."

Reminding exorcists not to let their unique status go to their heads.

During routine field work, field personnel also wouldn't change into gray uniforms; only when together with exorcists or at certain necessary moments would they put on gray clothes.

The gray clothes' "mockery and aggro-drawing" power was not as strong as the exorcist uniform, yet it also meant exposing oneself to the demons' sight.

All demons didn't mind killing a few field personnel in passing, weakening the Holy Order's strength.

A captain who had done four years as field personnel had sufficient understanding of demons and exorcists in all aspects, and sufficient capabilities.

Those insufficient couldn't have lasted this long.

However, faced with the rookie's question, the captain also fell into contemplation; he had worked for several years and really had never seen exorcists like this!

The matter was like this.

When Tang Luo and the others killed a demon and rescued people, they hadn't yet had time to ask where the Sacred Heart was.

Then two more demons popped out.

Ao Yulie saw demons come out to take a beating and immediately wanted to redeem himself; aiming at that demon's face, he struck once.

The demon was successfully knocked flying by him, but Ao Yulie himself nearly broke his hand; so hard!

Where was the promised weak point!

Could it be that even the weak point is this hard?

Embarrassing himself a second time, the aggrieved Ao Yulie circled the demon, striking from various places, only to discover that face was actually exceptionally hard!

Where was the promised low-level demons being idiots? It actually knew how to use schemes!

In the end Ao Yulie of course still successfully dealt with this demon, but he was also exhausted and panting heavily.

Second Senior Brother's "at least ninety percent" was simply a ninety-nine percent reduction.

For Master, that demon had weak points everywhere, fighting it was like beating a son; for him, Ao Yulie, it was truly a tough nut to crack.

Of course, this also had to do with Ao Yulie experimenting; he wanted to find the demon's weak points, better and faster ways to beat demons.

The White Dragon Staff and Violent Wind Fan were both taken out and used by him.

They seemed a bit better than his bare-handed attacks, but only that little bit, almost negligible.

When Ao Yulie finished off the second demon, those three field personnel also arrived — they had temporarily requisitioned a horse-drawn carriage.

Then, they saw the horrifying scene of two men pinning a demon to the ground and grinding it.

Why say horrifying?

Because Zhu Bajie was sitting on the demon, that demon unable to move at all, even its black tentacles drooping to the ground.

If their eyes were sharp enough, they would discover faint black lightning flashing across the demon's body.

Gui Water Yin Thunder!

This was an ultimate Yin thunder method; when needed, it could devour and absorb the opponent's life force; suppressing a demon was more than sufficient.

And Tang Luo held his fingers together like a knife, casually slicing off one of the demon's tentacles, holding it in his hand observing it.

That tentacle initially still struggled a couple of times; with the passage of time, and being far from the demon's main body, it soon lost its "vitality," turning into specks of dust.

Next, Tang Luo cut off those few main attacking tentacles for study.

Not much different from the rest of the tentacles.

Then, further dissection and study.

During this period it also included using stones, using wooden sticks, using steel bars (pulled down from the nearby ruins), and even using the demon's tentacles to violently beat the demon's main body.

Oh, and also deliberately moving a distance away and using a smashing motion.

Making one suspect whether this exorcist had some tragic experience, such as having his most beloved person killed by a demon, or his whole family slaughtered.

Some exorcists' resonances were like this; there were also some field personnel with similar experiences, joining the Holy Order with thoughts of revenge.

In short, the scene was extremely brutal.

Just like that, that demon was dismantled by Tang Luo into fragments, and only at the end turned into dust and died.

During this the demon couldn't move, but it could still make sounds.

So everyone could hear that wailing "Ex... or... cist" continuously echoing; this was the only thing low-level demons could "say."

No matter who they were killing, they would shout "Exorcist."

In the past this sound, to field personnel, was a death summons, the embodiment of fear.

But now hearing this sound, they actually heard a sense of "grief and sorrow."

Like a grievance, like longing, like weeping, like pleading — those who hear it are heartbroken, those who see it shed tears.

That is why that little rookie asked the captain that question.

Is this person, who looks even more ferocious and terrifying than a demon, really an exorcist?

In the materials the Holy Order gave them, although it clearly stated that some exorcists have bad tempers and may be more savage in battle, they are truly good people.

But it never said there would be an exorcist who slowly dismembers a demon bit by bit!

Just who is the demon here!

The little rookie's legs were already trembling uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the captain could still keep his composure. He walked up to Ao Yulie — this exorcist looked the most amiable.

"Um, Your Excellency Exorcist, may I ask if you just joined the Holy Order?" the captain asked.

Ao Yulie nodded: "Mhm, just joined."

"... Why weren't we notified?" The captain felt it was a bit strange, but immediately tossed the matter to the back of his mind. Anyway, there was no problem with these people being exorcists.

That demon, mutilated so miserably, was ironclad proof as solid as a mountain.

Besides exorcists, no one can treat demons like this, even though this was also the first time they had seen an exorcist treat a demon this way.

Under normal circumstances, exorcists kill demons very cleanly and neatly.

The "cleanly and neatly" here refers to the moment of killing.

Torture and slaughter — such things do not exist in an exorcist's dictionary.

Even if an exorcist harbors towering hatred for demons, once a sacred weapon inflicts a certain degree of damage on a demon, the demon will spontaneously turn to dust.

A situation like this — controlling the force, damaging the demon yet keeping it alive —

Is extremely rare.

The damage of sacred weapons to demons is very great.

The field personnel over there came over, thanked Tang Luo and the others profusely. The captain listened a little, and was once again completely baffled.

What the hell?

That ferocious white-haired exorcist can actually heal? What is this?

Come to think of it, it seems I didn't see any sacred weapons on these few either. Wait, this one just now was fighting demons bare-handed the whole time — what's going on?

It is common knowledge that even exorcists, without sacred weapons, cannot inflict effective damage on demons.

Parasitic-types are the same — only the parasitized part can inflict effective damage on demons.

Why are full-body parasitic-type exorcists strong? Because any part of their body can serve as a weapon.

Could it be that these few before us are the full-body parasitic type that hasn't appeared in many years?

But what about that healing and saving people? And judging by their appearance, they didn't transform into a battle form just now either.

The captain felt his worldview seemed to have been overturned.

"Where is the Sacred Heart?" Tang Luo walked over and said.

"Oh, please wait a moment!" The captain, stunned for a while, snapped out of it and hurriedly took out the hidden Sacred Heart and handed it to Tang Luo.

"We'll stay in this city for a few days, see if we can lure out other demons," Tang Luo said. "Is there a place to stay?"

"We'll arrange it immediately," the captain said.

"Go on then," Tang Luo nodded.

The Cursed House is a "camping tent"; since conditions allow, Tang Luo and the others naturally want to stay somewhere better.

Arriving at the luxury suite the captain arranged for them to rest, Tang Luo did not eat the Sacred Heart right away.

On the contrary, he planned to bring the Sacred Heart back to the Holy Order and give it to them.

Tang Luo still has some small quirks — for example, saving up merit power to use all at once, rather than using a bit whenever he intercepts a portion.

On one hand it's to deal with unexpected situations; on the other, it's Tang Luo's personal preference.

Similar to the preference of shelling all the melon seeds first, then eating them all at once.

Anyway, the Sacred Heart can't be lost — even if someone resonates with it and forges it into a weapon, there's no effect whatsoever.

Making a Sacred Heart into a weapon isn't some black technology.

It's just ramming the Sacred Heart into the weapon; the operation can be said to be extremely simple.

For things like swords and knives, you just install it in the hilt.

For larger weapons, just stuff it anywhere; thus an ordinary weapon becomes a sacred weapon.

Sacred Hearts are all very small; the largest is only the size of a finger joint.

Such an operation has absolutely no difficulty.

Tang Luo smashing the weapon and taking it out to eat also has no difficulty whatsoever.

And when an exorcist dies, their sacred weapon will collapse on its own, and the Sacred Heart will become an "ownerless thing," waiting for the next resonator to appear.

Sacred Hearts in the Holy Order are very safe.

Tang Luo currently has no plan to turn hostile against the Holy Order and do as he pleases; naturally he must rise step by step within the Holy Order, secure the right to speak, and become everyone's daddy.

"Let me tell you the experiment results." Tang Luo said to the two.

The initial tragic scene was, of course, not Tang Luo's malicious taste; he doesn't have that kind of malicious taste.

Torturing demons doesn't yield more merit power.
