"You are awesome, we have nothing to say!" Wang Dadong muttered helplessly.
Smith's words left Wang Dadong, Ding Xiaoyu, and the others feeling powerless. If they had the strength he possessed, they would have suppressed the sword in the stone long ago.
"The one with the biggest fist makes the rules!" Wang Dadong sighed.
Smith smirked and turned his attention to Ji'an, who stood holding an "axe" nearby. "Hey, come here."
Ji'an walked over with a serious expression. "Who are you?"
"Me? Just a passing traveler," Smith chuckled. "Can you purify the demonic energy in the sword in the stone?"
Ji'an frowned. "No. If it were an ordinary demonic influence, I could remove it easily. But the sword demon is different. Unless you bring together both swords in the stone, there's nothing I can do."
Smith raised an eyebrow. "So, if we obtain the second sword in the stone, can you neutralize Black Dragon's power and purge his corruption?"
Ji'an hesitated before shaking his head. "Purging the evil in Black Dragon? That's… difficult. His demonic energy is deeply embedded."
Ding Xiaoyu suddenly spoke up. "I might have a way. The Heartbroken Man told me about Black Dragon's weakness."
"Oh?" Wang Dadong turned to him in surprise. "Why don't I know about this?"
"The Heartbroken Man is Black Dragon's brother. Of course, he knows his weakness," Smith said. "Go on."
Ding Xiaoyu hesitated before saying, "If Black Dragon is castrated, his magical abilities will be nullified, and his combat power index will decrease."
Wang Dadong grimaced. "Hey, hey, Xiaoyu, that's extreme!"
"If it works, it works," Ji'an said. "It would strip him of his demonic strength."
"There's also the class teacher's brother," Wang Dadong interjected. "Can the demonic energy in him be removed?"
Smith frowned, considering the problem. There were also the martial corpses. Those creatures were a serious issue.
He glanced toward the ongoing battle. Hu Tao had activated the secret technique of the Rebirth Hall, temporarily raising her combat power index to over 40,000. She was engaged in a fierce battle with Black Dragon, matching him blow for blow.
Meanwhile, Keqing was handling several martial corpses with ease.
"We'll take it step by step. If necessary, we might have to eliminate them all," Smith said.
"If we do that, we risk making an enemy of the class teacher," Wang Dadong pointed out.
"Not a problem for me," Smith shrugged. "I doubt I'll be staying in this world much longer."
Something crossed his mind, and he turned to Xiu and the others from the East City Guard, who had been observing from a distance. He gestured for them to come closer.
Although confused, Xiu and his team approached. They had been monitoring Keqing and Hu Tao's fight, ensuring they weren't damaging the order of time and space. Seeing that their actions had no negative effects, they had concluded these warriors must be hidden protectors of the Golden Time and Space.
"Xiu, you're here," Wang Dadong greeted him with relief.
"Yes. I owe you an explanation, Dadong, but later." Xiu hesitated, then added, "The Golden Time and Space favors good over evil. Maybe we can turn this battle in our favor."
"You know the Yehenala family's Demon-Suppressing Trilogy, right?" Smith asked Xiu in a low voice.
Xiu nodded. "Of course."
"I need you to bring it here."
Xiu's eyes widened slightly. "Why?"
"The leader of the martial corpses and Xia Tian have potential. If you use the promise of protecting the leader as leverage, I bet you can convince them to lend us the Demon-Suppressing Trilogy. With it, we can cleanse these martial corpses of their demonic corruption. It might also help cultivate Xia Tian's latent abilities."
Xiu looked stunned. "The eldest son of the Yehenala family betrayed his lineage for love? Even abandoning his supernatural abilities? That's hard to believe."
Smith shrugged. "Whether you trust him or not, he's an asset to the white way. If he's willing to join us, it's a win. Protecting him won't be a problem, and in the future, when the old leader dies, supporting him to take over could free the Yehenala family from their past burdens."
Xiu considered this. "I can't make that decision alone. I'll have to report to the leader, but I believe he won't refuse."
"Good. In the meantime, we'll deal with these martial corpses as best we can. If we get the Demon-Suppressing Trilogy, this will be your responsibility," Smith said.
"Understood," Xiu agreed. "If we succeed, we'll cleanse them."
Smith nodded in satisfaction, then turned his focus back to the battlefield.
Hu Tao and Black Dragon were in a deadlock, but Hu Tao was beginning to struggle. The Rebirth Hall's secret technique consumed an enormous amount of energy. She wasn't built for prolonged battles.
Keqing, on the other hand, was still fighting effortlessly against the martial corpses, but their numbers made it an exhausting task.
Smith sighed. "Looks like I'll have to step in."
He stepped forward, his aura surging. Even from a distance, Black Dragon visibly tensed at the overwhelming power Smith radiated.
Wang Dadong and the others watched in awe. They had seen powerful fighters before, but Smith's sheer presence was on another level.
"Let's finish this," Smith muttered, advancing toward Black Dragon.
