I unleashed my strongest move, the Taoist Magic, a spell that required me to gather energy in secret. If Lin Junpeng and Wei Penghui teamed up, I wouldn't stand a chance to execute this lethal strike.
The reason I had been feigning weakness was to make Lin Junpeng and his companion underestimate me, giving me the opportunity to take them down one by one. I was initially worried that my act might not be convincing enough, but it turned out that Lin Junpeng was an arrogant fool. He eagerly challenged me to a one-on-one fight, perfectly aligning with my plan.
After dealing with Lin Junpeng, I felt a significant drain of energy from my Daoist Magic. Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and my face turned pale, giving me an appearance of being at the end of my rope. However, a glint of killing intent flashed in my eyes as I beckoned the Millennium Ghost General nearby with a finger, speaking in a grim tone, "Hmph, do you really think I'm easy to bully? You're Wei Penghui, right? You can continue your attack now. Otherwise, you won't get another chance."
Seeing my weakened state, Wei Penghui's eyes lit up with excitement. He had initially planned to ambush me and take me out unexpectedly. But upon witnessing my provocation, his brow furrowed as he hesitated, unsure of how to proceed.
As the saying goes, truth and falsehood intertwine. Noticing the uncertainty on Wei Penghui's face confirmed that my plan was working. I didn't expect to scare him off; I only hoped to buy myself another second to recover some strength, which would increase my chances of victory.
After about a minute of silence where I remained motionless, Wei Penghui seemed to have guessed my intentions. An expression of intense anger appeared on his face as he coldly scoffed and said, "Hmph, Stinky Taoist! You dare try to intimidate me? I almost fell for your trick. But now I've seen through your ruse; it's time for you to die."
As soon as Wei Penghui finished speaking, he lunged forward with his Ghostly Qi Fine Sword aimed directly at my eyes.
If Lin Junpeng's attack was forceful and heavy-handed, then Wei Penghui's style was light and agile. The Ghostly Qi Fine Sword danced in his hand like two swords coming at me instead of one.
Watching Wei Penghui's technique unfold made me shake my head helplessly and sigh. "Alas, I'm still a step behind. If only I had a few more minutes to rest, my magical energy would be nearly restored. It seems I'll have to resort to another trump card."
I hadn't wanted to reveal too many of my hidden abilities since we were still at the entrance of the tavern. If I exposed all my tricks now, others would see them and eventually devise ways to counteract them, which would put me at a disadvantage.
However, I was being cornered by Wei Penghui; if I didn't act soon, I might not even survive this encounter.
Having made up my mind, I sheathed the Rusty Sword at my waist and clasped my hands together. I secretly channeled the Buddhist Power within me into the Demon-Subduing Staff while solemnly reciting: "The Buddhist Sect teaches that all beings have spirits! Life and death are determined by fate; all things coexist! Descend from the celestial mountains and return to your homeland! Evil spirits cling to dust and harm living beings! Fall into the Suffering Sea; turn back for salvation! Summoning Buddha's Law; awaken with the Buddha's staff! Namo Amitabha Buddha!"
As I finished reciting the Buddhist Sect incantation, the Demon-Subduing Staff in my hand suddenly emitted a beam of Golden Buddha Light, accompanied by faint sounds of chanting from within the staff.
I raised the Demon-Subduing Staff high and swung it towards Wei Penghui, who was charging at me. At the same time, I declared to him, "Wei Penghui, I've already told you that I'm not just a Taoist Master; I'm also a Buddhist Monk. So even if I can't use Taoist Magic, I have other ways to deal with you. Now that you've seen my methods, you can go die."
Wei Penghui sensed the imminent danger and his expression turned frantic. He quickly halted his advance, transforming his Ghostly Qi Fine Sword from an offensive stance to a defensive one.
Fortunately, Wei Penghui reacted swiftly. Although he was struck three or four times by my Demon-Subduing Staff, he did not meet the same fate as Lin Junpeng, who had been instantly killed.
"Heh heh, so this is your Buddhist Power? I thought you were more formidable! Since you have no more tricks up your sleeve, it's my turn to strike," Wei Penghui said, his demeanor relaxing as he realized he could hold his ground against me. With a flick of his wrist, he sent my Demon-Subduing Staff flying and quickly launched three sword blossoms directly at my chest.
Seeing Wei Penghui's technique, my expression grew serious. I hurriedly struck three palms against my chest to disperse the sword blossoms. However, Wei Penghui became even more ferocious; with a shake of his Ghostly Qi Fine Sword, more sword blossoms surged toward me, overwhelming me and putting me at a disadvantage.
Reluctantly shaking my head, I muttered to myself, "It seems I can't afford to be careless. If this continues, I might really end up in deep trouble. It looks like I'll have to unleash my trump card."
I swept the Demon-Subduing Staff in front of me, unleashing a wave of Golden Buddha Light that cleared away the sword blossoms and forced Wei Penghui back two or three steps. Seizing this moment, I quickly channeled my Buddhist Power into my Dantian and summoned the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Buddha Manifestation from within.
I had initially intended to hold back a bit, but without summoning the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Buddha Manifestation from my Dantian, I wouldn't be able to handle Wei Penghui and might even lose to him.
After unleashing my final trump card, I controlled the massive Buddhist Manifestation behind me and pressed my palms together in front of my chest. With a solemn expression, I recited: "The Buddhist Sect teaches that all beings have spirits! Life and death are determined by fate; all things share the same realm! Descend from the celestial mountains and return to your homeland! Evil spirits cling to dust and harm living beings! Fall into the Suffering Sea; turning back is salvation! Summoning Buddha's Law, awaken with the Buddha's staff! Namo Amitabha Buddha!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I raised the Demon-Subduing Staff again and swung it towards Wei Penghui. Behind me, the Buddhist Manifestation held a golden staff several meters long and as thick as a thigh, following suit as it swung towards Wei Penghui.
