Chapter 479: Ordinary Yet Confident

Honghu True Man left with a sense of unease.

…

He was extremely angry and charged towards Bai Wei.

Without thinking too much, anger clouded his judgment. How much rationality was left?

No, the annoying thing is that he is actually very rational.

The surface anger is all fake, in reality, it’s just an illusionary move.

He couldn’t defeat the two women together, so he thought of using deceptive tactics.

The wise man named Hong Hu cherished his feathers and didn’t want to reveal his magical treasures. He secretly observed and selected potential candidates.

We have to distract these two women and then defeat them in one move.

The people who attacked the caravan are no longer a threat. They have already disbanded.

Hong Hu laughed coldly in his heart. Even if he took two furnace cauldrons, he had no intention of sparing the woman from the caravan. He was a thrifty person who disliked the old and preferred the new. Who would care about receiving too many gifts from others?

After careful consideration, Bai Wei, who was boasting loudly, became the target. He showed no trace of power and seemed like an ordinary person, a mere coachman.

Hmph, what can a mere coachman do?

He’s not even comparable to the nearby bodyguards. He’s probably a powerless muggle with no magical abilities or inner strength.

However, we must be cautious to avoid any unexpected trouble.

It’s possible that he possesses some rare lineage or inheritance, but one thing is certain: he is not a bodyguard. Otherwise, he wouldn’t allow these two women to fight without any reaction. It may seem certain, but in reality, he might just be a puppet placed in plain sight. A skilled master might still be hiding somewhere.

Look at me holding a teleportation talisman, plus a Kokonohana charm.

Combine directly to the Kokoohana, enough to have a chance to activate teleportation, if the attack fails, then teleport thousands of miles away.

He has a lot of experience in the martial arts world and living a long life also means being afraid of death. In order to obtain a few rare treasures, he must carefully plan and use all his skills. He feels like an experienced bomb defusal expert, carefully cutting the wires and looking for opportunities.

He made a sudden move, actually keeping seventy percent of his strength, ready to withdraw at any time.

Pretending to attack once, then create distance and look for weaknesses. At the same time, he moves between the three opponents, seizing opportunities to use magical treasures and spells. If the opponent is too strong, he immediately retreats. If they are too weak, he finishes them off with a powerful strike. It only takes one clever move… How can the opponent resist him?

Master Honghu has activated his incredible mental calculations and quickly assessed the normal battle. He discovered that his chances of winning are as high as ninety percent. What more can be said? Let’s do it like this!

If he loses, he will return to the mountain gate!

He thought for a long time, finally getting close to Bai Wei with a palm strike. This strike definitely hit Bai Wei’s body, and its power went through him, making a loud and crisp sound like a bell being struck.

Hmm?

What a silly person! He didn’t even hide!

The wise master Honghu had a thought. He wondered how the other person would respond. But to his surprise, the person stood still and let himself get hit without moving. Honghu sneered and thought, "You’re really asking for trouble. I will fulfill your wish and defeat you completely."

"Give me…" He no longer reserved any of his remaining strength, but instead planned to kill his opponent with one powerful strike.

When he clapped his hands together, he thought he had succeeded.

Only when he saw the young man casually raising his right hand did he realize something was wrong. Although his true energy flowed through the opponent’s body, it seemed to disappear without a trace.

At this moment, the battle between the two finally began. There were attacks and counterattacks, making it a real fight.

The fight began.

Then it ended.

Bai Wei patiently waited for the moment his opponent’s palms would strike. He slowly lifted his hand and tapped on the defenseless master’s throat, following it with a sentence.

"Crack!"

Kokonohana Genkaku pierced through in an instant!

Master Honghu’s throat developed a huge hollow, like an empty space.

His eyes turned black, and blood spurted from his mouth as he attempted to separate his spiritual body and escape.

The Senior True Immortal has already cultivated his spiritual body. Although he is still far from reaching the level of a Golden Core Immortal, he has a chance to rebuild his physical body.

The condition is to escape.

Just as his spiritual body was about to leave three inches above his head and fly out from the heavenly lid, the Crouching Tiger Sword flew out directly, striking like a pouncing tiger.

Teeth clenched together.

Snap!

The immortal, ended his wicked life.

Bai Wei pushed away the body of the great Daoist, throwing it into the snowy ground, blood flowing out and staining the vast expanse of white snow.

Everyone stared in shock as they saw the high-ranking expert with gray eyes gazing at the sky, as if silently accusing the absurdity of the world.

His preparations were meticulous and his thinking was thorough, but there was a small flaw in the execution, and then he died.

The attendant by the side kneeled down with a thump, ready to cry for his lord, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw a figure stepping on the body.

Little Green trampled on the body, and the blue Bi Fang fire instantly incinerated it, leaving behind a pile of ashes on the ground. With a gust of wind, it scattered sparsely into the snow.

The delighted disciples who followed the Daoist were all dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago, the Daoist was still awe-inspiring, but in the blink of an eye, he died and turned to ashes…

This whole process was too fast.

"Do you want to seek revenge for him?" Nalan Qingshu couldn’t personally understand the villain, so she glared at the official in displeasure. "Are you from the Happy Sect too?"

"No no no, I just…" The official hurriedly tried to defend himself, but before he could say anything, several bodyguards had already rushed forward and killed him with their swords.

"Kill them all, we must kill them all!" Wei Zu held a sword and approached. He had finally caught his breath and looked in awe at Bai Wei and the two girls on the carriage. He bowed with fists clenched and said, "The Happy Temple is a demonic sect. If we don’t kill them, news of this will spread and we will never have peace! And these sorcerers and evil cultivators, everyone must be eradicated!"

He picked up a handful of snow to clean his blade, then looked at the two girls carrying incense and the sixteen sedan bearers. There was a glint of killing intent in his eyes.

"There’s no need to dirty your hands, leave it to us."

They were all sorcerers from the Happy Sect, so talking about kindness was unnecessary. Who among them hadn’t stained their hands with a few lives?

Bai Wei paid no attention, and the others took it as his approval.

Nalan Qingshu walked back, angrily cursing, "He died in just one move, he got off too easily."

"If the young master didn’t make a move, even if I gave you a hundred moves, you wouldn’t be able to kill him."

"That was torment, do you understand?" Nalan Qingshu, being a bird like Bi Fang, had a sharp tongue.

Chao Lu whispered, "The Joyous Sect is definitely not easy to provoke. We’ve only walked a small part of this road, and there’s still a long way to go to Hujia Grave."

"Thinking of deceiving others, we certainly won’t be able to walk fast."

The group chatted as if there was nobody around. On the other side, the sound of people being killed was deafening. The maidens and the bearers were all skilled, but not very capable. When the real person died, they were completely powerless to resist. They could only think of scattering and escaping. There was no chance of winning, and if they couldn’t fight, they could only run.

The caravan manager and the young master stood awkwardly on the side, not knowing how to start a conversation. They were nervous and in awe.

Bai Wei ignored them and waited for the escorts to finish. Wei Zu, panting and clutching his sword, bowed and said, "They are all dead. Thankfully… there are no coffins here. I hope this lady can help us by setting a fire."

After the corpses were piled up, Nalan Qingshu snapped his fingers and a large fire blazed up. Everything became clean and tidy, leaving behind only a messy snowy ground.

The escorts bandaged themselves, collected the bodies of their companions, and tended to their own wounds. Wei Zu pounded his chest and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. He secretly looked at the four people on the table and sighed, realizing how different people’s lives can be. He couldn’t help but recall his own near-death experiences when he was young. After surviving a night of life and death, he cried and knelt on the ground, wiping away his tears and vowing to make something of himself in this lifetime. He then looked at the two people on the table and thought that it wasn’t too late; he could figure out a way to join the army and make a name for himself there.

They sat down at the table to eat, and gradually the sky darkened. They would be spending the night in Hujia Grave.

After the sunset, the manager of the caravan approached Bai Wei and nervously asked, "Can I trade my own life for the young lady’s life?"

Bai Wei remained expressionless and said, "Loyalty and courage… Unfortunately, your head is not worth the same, let her come and talk to me herself."

After a moment, the young master of the caravan approached Bai Wei, trying to appear tough, but remained silent for a long time.

"There’s nothing wrong with being selfish and seeking self-preservation." Bai Wei defined the situation, "When facing disaster, everyone flies their own way."

The young master didn’t breathe a sigh of relief, but instead became even more tense. It seemed that reasoning may not actually work. If it was aggression…

"What do you need?" she said with difficulty, "Please just tell us… I don’t think you would want to take our lives, otherwise you would have already attacked."

"Hmm, that’s right," Bai Wei nodded. "There’s no benefit in killing you. First of all, we paid you, and you didn’t fulfill the contract. So we should get a full refund of the deposit and the principal."

"Of course…"

"Next, let’s discuss the matter of additional compensation."

"Okay…" She bit her lip and said, "I, I just took a bath."

Bai Wei raised an eyebrow in confusion and asked, "Why are you so ordinary-looking yet so confident?"
