Chapter 186: Chapter 186 Witch Hunting Demon Chapter 186: Chapter 186 Witch Hunting Demon “You…”

“Buzz”
El, who had just gotten out of the car with a shotgun in hand, was mid-curse when he caught sight of a pair of unusual eyes flashing a hidden red light. The anger that had just risen in his heart swiftly subsided, along with his built-up tension from the past few days.

The strange change stunned him momentarily, and a tall human figure materialized in front of him.

A middle-aged man, dressed in neat hunter’s clothes, with deep-set features, weathered eyes, and a very noticeable scar, extended a hand apologetically, “I’m terribly sorry for stopping your car in this manner, it’s too difficult on the highway.”

“If possible, could I hitch a ride? I’m willing to pay double the fare, and will get off once we reach Blue Deer City.”

Although the appearance of the second body was somewhat eccentric, Tang Qi’s gentle tone quickly alleviated some of El’s caution.

Tang Qi did not use his Red power, but merely cleared some negative states from El’s mind with his spiritual power.

His thoughts became clearer, almost immediately wanting to refuse.

If he were alone, he wouldn’t mind taking a passerby, but his family were in the car, women and children included; refusal was the only answer.

Especially at this moment when his wife was urging him.

“El, let it go, come back.”

His wife, the red-haired Talia, her voice laced with panic.

At this moment, the slightest provocation could be unbearable for their family, including an unexpected conflict.

“Sorry, this isn’t a good time, perhaps you should wait for the next one…”
“Ah~”
El was interrupted by a sudden scream.

It came from inside his motorhome.

Almost immediately, El’s expression changed as if he remembered something, the anger that had subsided flared up again, his eyes showing no fear, only a cold, mad intent to kill, the rage of a father.

El ignored Tang Qi, let out a roar, and charged straight towards the motorhome.

Midway, his finger was already on the trigger.

The neglected Tang Qi was not bothered.

Right now, he was slightly squinting, observing the sudden changes on the highway.

Unknowingly, the road seemed to be in another dimension. It was only evening, but it felt like deep night had fallen, darkness enveloping, with no other source of light except for the motorhome’s headlights.

Thick fog surrounded the area.

Within the fog, a tall human figure was slowly approaching.

“Bang–Bang Bang”
The footsteps were exceptionally striking, like drumbeats one after the other.

Inside the motorhome, the faces of El’s family turned deathly pale.

The Evil Spirit appeared.

It was a swollen, large man, dressed in tattered clothes with a burlap sack over his head, revealing nothing but a pair of eyes filled with bright red.

In his hand, he carried an exaggeratedly large machete.

As he steadily approached, the machete dragged on the ground, making a friction sound that made one want to vomit.

“Ah~you disgusting ghost, what do you want, just die, die…”
“Bang Bang Bang”
El went into madness, advanced towards the Evil Spirit with the shotgun, and in the midst of loud bangs, each bullet hit its target, but alas, those bullets entered its body as if sinking into the ocean, causing no ripple.

But El seemed unaware, he threw away the shotgun that had run out of bullets and charged with his fists towards the Evil Spirit.

From the looks of it, he actually wanted to engage in close combat with an Evil Spirit.

And a weird scene occurred the next moment.

The Evil Spirit let El rush up, and also let the frenzied El punch him in the face.

“Bang”
Contrary to expectations, El was not shattered by the rebounding force. Instead, he managed to punch back the Evil Spirit.

Even El himself couldn’t believe this scene; he sobered up slightly and stared incredulously at his own fist.

At this moment, the Evil Spirit’s eyes lit up, looking at El with unprecedented greed.

The fierce wind howled; the terrifying blade swung abruptly, transforming into a flash of light aiming straight for El’s neck.

The speed and force were so immense that El, being just an ordinary person, had no room to dodge.

“No”
Inside the RV, Talia and two others cried out in unison.

“Hum”
Another barely perceptible moment occurred, where the terrifying blade hesitated briefly, as if hindered by some mysterious force.

Feeling the resistance, the eyes of the Evil Spirit, now completely filled with a vivid red, seemed to shine even brighter with greed.

“So that’s how it is!”

Not far away, Tang Qi seemed to understand something.

A strong ghost light surged in his eyes, emanating from the Evil Spirit.

A very powerful Evil Spirit!

Far stronger than Tang Qi had estimated, according to the description in the special image generated in his eyes, El’s family would not last ten minutes against this Evil Spirit.

How could they possibly slowly drive back to Secret Phoenix City in their RV?

The answer was revealed now.

The Evil Spirit was intentionally tormenting El’s family, trying to force out their Bloodline Power, before planning to “feed.”

At this moment, besides the strong ghost light swirling around the Evil Spirit, tiny sparks of ghost light were also emitted from El, Sarah, and the little boy, with Information Fragments flowing past.

“Extraordinary Creatures: Wizard descendants, people with pure Wizard bloodlines, though extremely weak, still possess decent potential…”

“A Demon that hunts Wizard bloodlines? How interesting.”

Muttering to himself, Tang Qi took a step.

His tall body disintegrated on the spot, and in the next moment, he reappeared right beside the Evil Spirit.

Bang!

A hand suddenly grasped the terrifying blade.

“Huh!”

The horrific and brutal scene that should have occurred was abruptly halted.

Talia and the others still crying, and El, who was in a daze, all stared blankly at this scene.

At this time, Tang Qi felt the cold, bone-chilling breath trying to invade his body.

As if it had the power to freeze the soul.

Tang Qi looked at the Evil Spirit and beyond the special image, he seemed to see a grotesque, rotten face under the headgear, suddenly curling into a mocking smile.

[Extraordinary Creatures: Evil Spirit.]
[State: Normal.]
[Information Fragment One: It was originally an Evil Spirit that lingered around Eden Lake, constantly hunting Humans. By chance, it killed a boy with Wizard bloodline and accidentally consumed the boy’s soul and body, which granted it self-awareness and eventually made it deliberately hunt Humans with Wizard bloodlines.]
[Information Fragment Two: If it hunts enough descendants of Wizards, it might transform into another kind of being, even though it’s already akin to being Undying.]
…

“Similar to a Demon Hunter, this could be considered a Witch Hunting Demon, right?”

“And to think, I am a Wizard.”

While holding the cold blade, Tang Qi muttered.

Then suddenly turned to El Larr and said, “Mr. El, I would like to make a deal with you. I’ll take care of this guy for you in exchange for a drop–no, a vial of your blood. How about it?”
