Chapter 308: You Must First Engage the Enemy That Mocks You
Bai Wei, like lightning, made his move, causing the two hungry demons next to him to perish on the spot.
"The tables have turned, as I am now caught in the midst of danger," said the fish, realizing that the roles of attacker and defender had reversed.
He glanced at the group of demons and said, "Why are you all standing there motionless? Come and offer your greetings."
The sound of Smiling Buddha’s roar echoed, "He’s the only one, we have more people on our side, the advantage is ours. Everyone, attack and defeat him!"
The group of demons all realized that the enemy truly consisted of only Bai Wei, and he appeared to be fragile and delicate.
The demons of Yingzhou probably had no idea what it means to have a skilled expert who sits steadfastly.
At this moment, Bai Wei really wanted to imitate the scenes from the martial arts films he had watched before. He wished he could place one foot on a stool, raise a tea cup in one hand, take a leisurely sip. Unfortunately, there was no tea available, so he had to kick away the stool and take a step towards the group of demons, acting before they could form a formation.
With a step forward, he no longer needed to suppress his breath. His heartbeat resumed, blood circulated, and body temperature rose. At the same time, the golden gears inside his body started to engage, emitting a resounding clang that only he could hear.
He glanced at a nearby one-eyed demon, swiftly reaching out his hand like a lightning bolt. His fingers pierced into its watery and bright eye, plucking out the eyeball directly. He casually tossed it to the ground and stepped on it, reducing it to a pulpy mess.
Immediately, his figure flashed, and he grabbed the heads of two demons with his left and right hands. Pulling his hands back together, he forcefully collided them in the middle with a loud bang. The two heads crashed into each other and shattered into pieces.
Ghosts cannot be killed by ordinary means; special methods are required for them to be effective. It takes magic to defeat magic. However, Bai Wei completely disregarded the rules of the cycle of birth and death. He simply crushed the evil demons and demons with his bare hands, proving that he had overwhelmed them numerically. All of his attacks caused real damage.
A towering evil spirit charged forward, wielding a massive fanged club and swung it down, exclaiming, "Take this!"
Bai Wei effortlessly caught the fanged club with one hand, allowing the force of the impact to flow through his entire body’s gears and muscles, and directed it into the ground, effortlessly dissipating the power.
As the earth cracked, Bai Wei swiftly delivered a kick to the groin of the mighty demon.
The giant demon soared into the air, reaching a height of over five meters, with its head wedged into the market’s roof.
Without even having a chance to catch his breath, Bai Wei grabbed hold of its right leg. In an instant, the giant demon became nothing more than a hammer in Bai Wei’s hands, forcefully crashing down onto the ground.
"Give it to me and smash it!"
The giant demon landed and flattened several little demons with a mighty clap. Then, like the antagonist in a fairy tale, the body of the giant demon curled up into a ball.
Bai Wei delivered a powerful kick, and the tiger shot towards the goal. The ball soared through the air, bouncing five times before crashing onto the ground, shattering into nothingness.
In the blink of an eye, half of the demon crowd was cleared out, some dead and others injured.
Bai Wei didn’t even catch his breath. He brushed off the dust from his shoulder and glanced at the crowd of demons, saying, "Why aren’t you running?"
The cannibalistic demons confronted Bai Wei head-on, just like the Xiongnu’s reaction when they encountered Li Guang and Huo Qubing. This was no longer a matter of having weak knees.
When they realized that the opponent was truly a lone warrior who could annihilate their entire side, their immediate reaction was to step back and retreat.
This group of foreign monsters had lived for a very long time, and it was completely unworthy to die here for just a mouthful of blood.
Immediately, a big demon angrily cursed Smiling Buddha, saying, "You butcher! You sent us to our deaths while you stand here!"
Under the pressure of a formidable enemy, they had to either flee or turn against each other.
In the blink of an eye, the disorganized crowd became completely powerless.
This group of fellows was like a band of mountain bandits, terrifying and fierce when raiding down the mountain. They were unstoppable, like a ferocious beast unleashed from its cage. But once they were cornered, they often lost their former might. Unlike the mountain bandits who could easily move to another place, they lacked the necessity and courage to stand guard. They could always find another mountain to rule. This horde of evil demons gathered from all directions were no different.
The disorganized crowd assembled based on self-interest, but when faced with a formidable enemy more terrifying than self-interest, they immediately dispersed and vanished.
The butcher stared at Bai Wei, knowing in his heart that tonight was likely to end in failure. What was even more important was that with the appearance of this formidable enemy, he had to report it.
It didn’t have much confidence in defeating its opponent, and it had hoped to leave quickly, but it missed the chance to escape.
Tu Fo is a member of the Hundred Demons Party. If he were to flee without fighting, it would bring the credibility of the Hundred Demons Party into question and affect future plans. This is just the first wave, as there are more hungry demons and demons coming behind.
We must not delay the great ruler’s established plan!
Otherwise, going back would result in death, or even a fate worse than death.
"I will fight you!"
With a sudden burst of courage, Smiling Buddha summoned the strength to pull out a large sword from behind his waist. The sword was shaped like a horse-cutting blade, but half the usual length.
As the sword came down, it missed hitting the person and instead landed on the ground, causing dust and stones to fly in the air.
Bai Wei was reminded of several demons he had slain before as he watched Smiling Tu Fo, a nimble chubby man, skillfully wielding his large sword, moving it up and down in a dance-like motion.
As the shimmering blades came rushing towards him, he calmly and gracefully evaded them, deliberately luring Smiling Tu Fo to strike in various directions. In the process, unintentionally injuring the surrounding members of the Demon Clan.
Several demons had their limbs severed by the slashing, and just as they were about to unleash a torrent of curses, Bai Wei swiftly decapitated them.
Worried, Smiling Buddha wondered why he hadn’t retrieved the sword yet.
In battle, one must use their wits and keep an eye on the bigger picture. If Tu Fu was a MOBA player, he would definitely be a mid-laner or a jungler, possessing a strong sense of overall strategy. Though it seemed like he was fiercely attacking Bai Wei, he always kept some energy in reserve. His true goal was to apply pressure on Bai Wei, forcing him to retrieve the sword that stood in front of the Sword Witch.
Once the sword was withdrawn, no longer disrupted by the intimidating aura of the Tiger’s Wrath, he felt confident that he could swiftly defeat the two Sword Witches.
Defeating the Sword Witches was not his ultimate goal, rather it was to break through the enemy’s defenses. Charging in to save someone, but ultimately failing, left him in a state of deep emotions.
It was surely anger.
Filled with rage, he desired to kill, but then he wisely retreated, luring the enemy deeper into his trap.
Even if the opponent noticed and didn’t fall for the trap, it didn’t matter. Once the rescue mission failed, he no longer had a reason to stay here. Otherwise, he would be trapped in a predicament.
Tu Fo pounded the abacus, but the more he did, the more he realized that the opponent was far more skilled and nimble than he had anticipated. They danced under the blades, killing other demons and even using the sword to kill others.
This person was so cunning!
It made up its mind not to drag things out any longer. It unleashed its demonic power and growled, "Watch my blade!"
With a deliberate burst of ferocity, he feigned an attack aimed at striking down Bai Wei. However, his true target was the Sword Witch standing behind him.
Just as if a sniper rifle had locked its target, it asked, "Will you dodge or not?" The question remained: would you block this strike or not?
A straight line between two points, perhaps even a piercing skill, as a mortal being, what can you use to defend against it?
Bai Wei stood still on both feet without any sign of dodging when It saw him. Clearly, he intended to block this strike. It felt immense joy within, knowing that this strike was solid and secure!
With a loud shout from its mouth, it exclaimed, "Die for the Lord Buddha!"
The large blade swung towards Bai Wei’s shoulder. It didn’t take advantage of its successful strategy, instead aiming not for his head, but for his arm, with the priority of severing it.
This intricate calculation was completed unconsciously, proving that this guy was not a bumbling fool, but rather a rather clever demon.
Those whose minds are not sharp often meet a swift demise. Among the secretive Hundred Demons Party, the executives possess genuine talent and knowledge, but…
No matter how clever the calculation, it must be based on a reasonable margin of error.
*Clang-!*
At the moment when the sword struck its target, the overwhelming heaviness in his hand made Smiling Buddha aware that something was not right.
This is not right, why was it the sword that was knocked away instead of his own arm?
The five fingers clamped onto the blade and hilt as if forged from steel. They locked together, one on top and one below, and then with a mighty force, they twisted and distorted it until it snapped in two.
The young man held half of the blade in his hand, flipping it around and bringing it down towards the butcher, who was still stiff from the recoil.
With a *splurt* sound, the blade pierced into the butcher’s body, embedding itself in flesh, and breaking bone.
The formidable power of the demonic race prevented the butcher from immediately perishing. It widened its eyes, attempting to unleash its final surge of demonic energy in a self-destructive act.
Bai Wei delivered a kick, finally putting an end to the closely intertwined and blissful life of its body and head, opting for a separate course of action.
A head fell to the ground.
However, most of its demonic energy was concentrated in its body, which had already been kicked away by a corner of the clothing, causing its obese form to bounce and collide with the group of demons.
The demonic energy surged, causing an explosion. The pitch-black flames ignited half of the marketplace, instantly turning the lurking demons, who were watching the spectacle, into matchsticks. They burned completely, beyond death itself, thus affirming the curse spoken by the sword witch earlier.
Soul scattered and spirit dispersed.
Bai Wei lifted up the head stained with dripping blood, and said, "To deal with you, I don’t even need to draw my sword, and… you must first attack this taunting enemy."
He threw the head, which was intended to self-destruct, into the bonfire. There was a cracking sound, and a skull flew out into the air.
In just a few seconds, the marketplace, where demons danced wildly, became clean and empty. However, the tables and chairs were shattered and scattered across the floor, looking as if an immortal had rolled around here for a few rounds.
Bai Wei clapped his hands, but only a few traces of blood stained his sleeve.
He drew out the Crouching Tiger Sword, and the Han Sword trembled unhappily a few times, expressing its displeasure at being unable to taste blood.

[Add one more word: The hundred demons were feasted upon]
[Reward: Unknown]
[Note: This time I won’t mooch off you for free, I promise]
Bai Wei sheathed the sword back into her sleeve, then glanced at the two sword witches.
The young man paused and said, "Should I introduce myself?"
