As if someone, nobody knew who, uttered the phrase "born with extraordinary bones," many found it plausible. After all, weren't all people from Great Xia skilled in martial arts? Weren't they known for their strength and fitness, as Bruce Lee once said.
As they were contemplating this, a voice cut through their thoughts.
It was Zhang Wei. After grabbing the werewolf by the neck and lifting it, the werewolf grew fearful and begged for mercy. Zhang Wei smiled faintly and said:
"Beg for what?"
"Don't, don't kill me…"
The werewolf quickly responded, forcing out the words despite being choked, its voice hoarse.
Zhang Wei heard this and said:
"That won't do, Mr. Werewolf. You don't know, but I'm actually quite merciful. Letting my dad handle you is better, as his magic is gentler, while mine is rather crude."
[Ding! The werewolf's mouth twitched. Why do I feel like cursing you? You call that crude? That was outright berserk, you bastard!]

At this moment.
Zhang Wei, still holding the werewolf by the neck, said:
"How about this? Since it's my first time encountering a werewolf, I'll give you a choice. Do you want to be handled by my dad, or by me?"
Werewolf: "...#*@#%*#……*”
[Ding! Werewolf... Is there a third option?]
[Host has gained System Points +70]
To survive, the werewolf braced itself and said:
"Are there other options? Can I choose something else?"
"Yes."
As soon as Zhang Wei spoke, the werewolf paused, and its wolf eyes lit up.
[Ding! The werewolf is surprised. Holy crap! Is there really a third option?]

Then.
When the werewolf inquired, Zhang Wei slowly replied:
"Because you hit me on the head just now, and I don't like being taken advantage of. As long as you let me hit you back, I'll let you go. How about it?"
[Ding! The werewolf's mouth twitched. You bastard...]
[Host has gained System Points +90]
Finally.
After a moment of internal struggle, the werewolf chose the third option. It had no choice; the first two options offered no chance of survival, while the third offered a sliver of hope.
Because of this.
The two priests became anxious and wanted to persuade Zhang Wei, but their heads were tapped twice by the old man:
"Oh dear, why do you two always interrupt others? I'm an old man, and Zhang Wei is just a little kid. Don't you understand respecting the old and cherishing the young?"
The two priests rubbed their heads, their mouths twitching… An old man? A kid? Are you sure?
"But…"
The Bible priest still wanted to say something, but before he could utter half a sentence.
Bang!!!
A dull thud exploded.
Blood and brain matter splattered, some of it directly onto the faces of the Bible priest and the other.
Feeling the warmth splashing on their faces, they instinctively reached out to touch it. Then, looking at the warm liquid on their hands, they realized what it was – blood.
Involuntarily.
They looked in the direction of the sound, their pupils dilating instantly.
At this moment.
The werewolf Zhang Wei was holding by the neck, though its back was still a bloody mess with two holes in the center, unchanged from before, looked up… the werewolf's head was gone.
Yes.
They weren't mistaken; the werewolf's head was gone. It was a headless corpse being held by the neck by the Great Xia youth.
Seeing this.
Even without witnessing what had just happened, seeing the blood and brain matter staining Zhang Wei's other hand, they could piece together the event. The youth had smashed the werewolf's head with a single palm strike.
And indeed, that was the case.
The surrounding guests were stunned. The werewolf, which had been almost impervious to blades and bullets in front of the two priests, only susceptible to silver, had its head exploded like a balloon by a casual palm strike from this Great Xia youth, its skull fragmenting into several pieces.
At the same time.
Zhang Wei paid no mind to the gazes of the priests and the crowd, his attention focused on the notification sounds in his mind.
As the werewolf felt the immense force on its cheek the moment it was struck.
[Ding! The werewolf wanted to curse before dying, "Fuck, I'm gone."]
[Host has gained System Points +90]
Casually tossing the werewolf's corpse aside, Zhang Wei glanced at the blood and skull fragments scattered on the ground, then smiled at the priests.
Upon seeing this.
The two priests were almost scared out of their wits.
Zhang Wei's face was covered in the werewolf's blood, and combined with his terrifying previous actions, his bloody smile was as chilling as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre killer peering through one's home window in the dead of night.
"Sorry, I made a mess here."
Zhang Wei said.
The two priests quickly shook their heads, indicating it was fine. After all, if not for Zhang Wei, the blood on the ground would have been theirs.
"Sir, and this elder, thank you for your assistance."
Because their elder had tapped them earlier and said he wasn't an exorcist, they assumed he didn't want to reveal his identity and simply thanked Zhang Wei.
"You're welcome, it was just a small effort."
Zhang Wei said, wiping his blood-stained hand with a smile, feigning modesty.
The two priests' mouths twitched. The way he said it… it was indeed "just a small effort."
Afterwards.
After a brief exchange, Zhang Wei didn't intend to linger. He was here for tourism, and having reaped his rewards, there was no need to stay. He made up an excuse and left.
On the other side.
After seeing Zhang Wei off.
The Bible priest hesitated and asked:
"Fly, shouldn't we ask for their names and information? How should we write the report?"
Whether it was the Great Xia's Department of Exorcism or overseas ghost-hunting organizations, according to regulations, exorcists were required to write reports after handling supernatural events. Since Zhang Wei was involved in this supernatural incident, his information, at least his name, was needed.
The Dagger priest looked over, a wry smile on his face.
"How do we ask? Didn't you see how formidable that Great Xia elder was, using frozen dried seafood to beat the werewolf like that? And that Great Xia youth, he beat the werewolf to death with his bare hands."
"Do you think we dare to ask them? Our heads aren't as hard as the werewolf's."
He said, then cast a wistful glance in the direction Zhang Wei had left.
"Actually, it's fine that we didn't ask for their names. Setting aside the Great Xia youth, that Great Xia elder, the methods he used were very unique. It would be easy to find his identity through his techniques."
"Even if we can't find him through his methods, didn't he mention a name? Jackie Chan. We can also find his identity through Jackie Chan."
The Bible priest nodded.
"That's true. Speaking of which, Great Xia exorcists are truly formidable."
The Dagger priest couldn't help but agree.
"Indeed, my God. Fighting a werewolf with bare hands, I never would have dared to imagine it before. Honestly, I suspect many Great Xia exorcists, like that youth, are physically very strong."
"Why do you say that?"
The Bible priest asked, confused.
The Dagger priest didn't hide anything and replied:
"What? Don't you know? Something happened in Sakura Country recently. It's said that a descendant of Cao Cao appeared in Sakura Country. He's an exorcist and very powerful, having refined Cao Cao's generals into Shikigami."
"His Shikigami easily killed a King-level fierce ghost. And Cao Cao's descendant is also very strong, able to withstand a samurai sword condensed from a fierce ghost with his bare body."
"My God, that powerful?!"
The Bible priest was shocked.
