Chu Feng entered the villa. With the help of the Spirit-Seeking Compass, he quickly located the Evil Spirit in the third-floor bathroom, along with the old man's girlfriend.
She was a white woman in her twenties. Her tall and full figure was indeed a sight to behold. However, at this moment, her body was covered with bulging veins and her mouth with saw-like teeth, which made Chu Feng feel slightly nauseous.
Why do even those two spots have so many veins? Such a pity!
Shaking his head secretly, Chu Feng promptly put away his shotgun.
After all, this beauty might still be saved. I can't just blow her away with a shot!
"Are you coming out on your own, or do I need to pull you out?"
Watching the 'veiny beauty' in front of him screaming, Chu Feng clenched his fists.
Suddenly, he sidestepped, avoiding a sharp knife that appeared from behind. With a wave of his right hand, a faint golden light surfaced on his body.
"It seems you've made your choice!"
Chu Feng's body immediately charged forward, pressing the other party to the ground with his tremendous strength, rendering her immobile.
After subduing her hands, he ignored the various objects suddenly flying towards him and, amidst the flickering golden light protecting his skin, quickly dragged the woman into the adjoining bedroom.
「In the bedroom」
Chu Feng had tightly bound the vein-riddled woman to the bed with ropes. She could only let out beast-like roars.
Sitting beside the bed, with a thought from Chu Feng, a similarly golden phantom charged directly into the woman's brow.
"Hey! We meet again, little one!"
Looking at the ash-covered Evil Spirit before him, with its green face and fangs, Chu Feng greeted it with a smile.
But the Evil Spirit, on all fours like a beast, did not appreciate Chu Feng's gesture of goodwill.
How impolite!
Watching the Evil Spirit charge at him, Chu Feng raised his golden-glowing hand. The instant they made contact, he fiercely slapped the Evil Spirit across the face.
The Evil Spirit, unable to react, was sent flying a great distance.
Ouch, little one is quite tough! Again!
Watching the Evil Spirit shake its head and struggle back to its feet, a smile curled on Chu Feng's lips.
SLAP!
SLAP!
SLAP!
Three consecutive times, the undeterred Evil Spirit charged, only to be slapped to the ground by a large, golden palm each time.
After the final slap, the Evil Spirit lay on the ground for a long moment before shakily getting back up.
Since you can't take it anymore, just come out with me!
Chu Feng assessed his internal Spiritual Power, clapped his hands, and walked straight towards the Evil Spirit.
Unexpectedly, this Evil Spirit was much smarter than the previous one that had possessed someone. After roaring at Chu Feng, it chose to abandon the body and disappeared from the woman's mind.
Hmm, well, the goal is accomplished either way!
Seeing the Evil Spirit vanish, Chu Feng also withdrew from the woman's mind and returned to his own body.
He looked at the woman, whose skin had returned to its normal color. She seemed to have exhausted too much energy and had fainted.
He casually waved his hand, channeling some Spiritual Power to give the woman a simple protective shield, then paid her no more mind.
With a flip of his left hand, the AA-12 appeared in his hand.
Little one, do you think you can escape?
Chu Feng followed the Spirit-Seeking Compass down to the first floor, arriving just in time to see the Evil Spirit's shadow rebound off the Four Symbols Spirit Trapping Formation.
Without a word, Chu Feng aimed at the bluish-gray figure and pulled the trigger.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
He fired three consecutive shots. The quick-reacting Evil Spirit managed to avoid most of the damage, leaving only an arm that gradually turned to ash. Of course, the considerable distance between them was also a factor.
Still trying to run?
Almost the instant the Evil Spirit vanished, Chu Feng appeared where it had just been.
His golden-glowing right arm punched straight through the wooden wall. He grabbed the Evil Spirit by the neck and yanked it back, leaving a hole in the wall large enough for a head to pass through.
Little one, you can't escape now, can you?
He lifted the still-struggling Evil Spirit over his head and then slammed it hard onto the ground.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
...
After an unknown number of slams, Chu Feng suddenly felt the weight in his hand lighten. He stopped his actions and looked. Indeed, the Evil Spirit was already dead, completely turned to ash.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for killing an Evil Spirit. You will receive the following rewards:
1. Strength Attribute: 4 points, Physique Attribute: 4 points, Mental Attribute: 3 points, Spiritual Power Attributes: 10 points
2. Lifespan: 1 year
3. Skill: Tracking Technique

PS: The farther the distance, the more Spiritual Power is consumed."
After applying all the rewards, Chu Feng put away his shotgun. He ignored the screams that had just erupted upstairs and walked straight out of the villa's main gate.
"Mr. Chu, is the Evil Spirit taken care of?"
Just as Chu Feng was retracting the Four Symbols Gathering Spirit Formation into his Storage Space, the villa's owner, the old white man who had somehow found a set of clothes, hurried over and asked.
"It's taken care of. However, your 'little girlfriend' was possessed by the Evil Spirit just now and seemed frightened. You might want to go comfort her."
"What? She was possessed by an Evil Spirit? Looks like I'll have to find a new girlfriend!"
Hearing this, a look of disgust appeared on the old white man's face.
Behind him, Boris and Sara exchanged a glance and shrugged nonchalantly.
"Sir, the Evil Spirit has been dealt with. Shouldn't we settle the bill now?"
Just then, James popped up from nowhere, his eyes gleaming with greed as he looked at the old white man.
"Oh, yes, yes! Please wait a moment!"
After getting a payment account from Chu Feng, the old white man hurried into the villa. When he re-emerged, he was just hanging up his phone. A tall, stunning woman with an unpleasant expression was following him.
"Mr. Chu, the money will reach your account by this time tomorrow."
"Okay, since the transaction is complete, we should be going. Goodbye!" With that, Chu Feng headed straight for his car.
"Mr. Chu, if our police station needs help, can we contact you?" Captain Boris hadn't gone to the neighboring murder scene; instead, he had followed Chu Feng.
"Of course, as long as your chief can accept my rates," Chu Feng replied with a smile, handing Boris his business card.
"By the way, I'm curious about something. In a case with two deaths, why did only the four of you come?" Standing beside his car, Chu Feng voiced his question.
"Mr. Chu, I won't hide it from you, but please don't repeat this to anyone," Boris said. After Chu Feng nodded, though still looking puzzled, Boris, his expression somewhat troubled, continued, "Actually, most of New York's police force is busy searching for the missing child of New York's wealthiest man!"
This news shocked Chu Feng to the core.
The wealthiest man's child? Missing? What kind of ridiculous joke is this?!
"I'm not lying, and this isn't an April Fool's joke. As unbelievable as it sounds, the child simply vanished without a trace!"
