Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 100: If I’m Not Busy, I’ll Snap Them All!

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: If I’m Not Busy, I’ll Snap Them All!

Zhang San had not only taken away the sin-filled money from these mountain bandits but also planned to use it for kind-hearted deeds like buying meat to fill his stomach.

Moreover, by dealing with beaten mountain bandits, he located other bandits.

In the end, he plundered all seventeen gangs of mountain bandits in the vicinity once over.

Not just the mountain bandits, even the red dates that old ladies occasionally sunning at the mountain stronghold gates carried were seized by Zhang San.

What does it mean to do good deeds anonymously?

It means to beat the mountain bandits harshly, snatch their filthy riches, and then leave without revealing your name.

The next day at noon, Fang Cunzai, who had ridden his horse through the night, finally found an inn where he could have a warm meal.

After dismounting, he handed his horse to the attendant greeting at the door and then ordered a good amount of food.

Previously, bound by morality, Fang Cunzai couldn’t bring himself to act against his comrades and could only watch helplessly as Zhang San and Xu left.

It wasn’t until after sunset that Fang Cunzai managed to free himself.

Then, upon inquiring, he learned that the lad who had tricked him was none other than Zhang San, who had a significant association with Bai Yucheng.

Fang Cunzai could tell at a glance that this Zhang San was no good!

And Officer Bai, being such a good person, how could he possibly embezzle the Cultivation Resources from the Town Martial Office or even kill his peers?

It must be the doing of this Zhang San and that woman called Third Miss Gan.

Thus, Fang Cunzai first angrily went to question Third Miss Gan for the truth, his square face nearly slapped round before she kicked him out of the room.

Fang Cunzai knew he could only approach Zhang San as a breakthrough.

Although Zhang San’s move back then was quite powerful, he was merely among the best in the True Core Realm.

If he hadn’t been careless, he could easily have subdued Zhang San.

So, the next day, Fang Cunzai set out with some ointment to treat the injuries on his face, tracing the route until he finally caught onto their tracks and pursued them toward the northwest.

At this moment, as the food had just been served and having been starved for a full day and night, Fang Cunzai began to eat ravenously.

The attendant kindly suggested, "Dear guest, our inn’s wine is excellent. Would you like to have some? Also, there are many mountain bandits nearby, so if you are not in a rush, it might be best to wait here and then leave with other merchant groups for safety."

Fang Cunzai scoffed and asked, "Mountain bandits, how formidable can they be! Humph—"

The attendant, who had almost had his neck sliced by Zhang San the day before and was still fuming, was annoyed seeing this man’s arrogant demeanor.

"Dear guest, you must be very skilled at annihilating bandits! Around this area alone, there are seventeen gangs of mountain bandits, nearly a thousand in number! Are you up to it?"

Fang Cunzai was aware that these bandits were just ordinary people and scattered, presenting no real threat.

"It’s just that I’ve been busy lately. If I wasn’t, I’d have snapped them all up!"

The attendant had never seen someone boast so much.

After all, people who bragged knew to restrain themselves when they were away from home; he had never encountered someone so shameless.

Even the people at the next table were becoming uncomfortable listening.

"Don’t spout nonsense here. Why don’t you step outside and yell a few times? Just see if any bandits come out to deal with you! What’s with the act here?"

As Fang Cunzai was about to explain something, he suddenly heard the loud rumble of footsteps from outside.

Just by hearing these sounds, he knew quite a few people were approaching.

And the attendant who had been feeding the horses outside burst in, panic-stricken, shouting, "Bad news! The bandits are here! Lots of bandits! Loads of them—"

In an instant, many people panicked.

Some hid under tables; others ran toward the backyard; there were even those who started tucking gold into their shoes.

Fang Cunzai scoffed loudly, stood up, hand on his Horizontal Blade at his waist, and turned to walk outside.

"Attendant, keep the wine hot. When I return, it’ll be just right to drink warm."

Saying this, Fang Cunzai strode out of the inn and onto the main road.

"A few petty thieves from the woods dare to face me, Fang..."

Fang Cunzai’s eyes bulged like those of a bull as he watched bandits rushing toward him from all directions along the road. Despite their differing attire and mismatched weapons, some even wielded farming tools.

But their numbers were close to a thousand if not eight hundred.

The dozen or so leaders stepped forward, pointing at Fang Cunzai and shouted angrily, "Fang Cunzai, do you remember us?"

Fang Cunzai had never seen them and responded loudly, "Nameless vermin, why should I remember you!"

The dozen leaders glanced at each other, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

Especially a middle-aged bandit leader, who clenched his teeth hard.

"My grandmother was just sunbathing outside when this scoundrel stole half a pound of jujubes from her and even slapped her asking why she wasn’t dipping them in vinegar! Utterly preposterous!"

"Kill!"

It was unclear which bandit leader shouted first, but the others echoed him, and then over a thousand bandits surrounded Fang Cunzai.

First came a ragged volley of arrows, followed by bandits wielding long weapons such as spears, long pikes, hoes, and clothes poles who charged in and stabbed wildly.

After Fang Cunzai had easily slain a dozen men, a small and agile bandit rolled on the ground and struck at Fang Cunzai’s lower body.

If only a few dozen bandits had encountered Fang Cunzai, they would naturally have been instantly routed by him.

But there were nearly a thousand bandits here who were already angry from being beaten yesterday, and today, the Martial Artists behind them demanded they capture this man or it would cost them their lives.

Since they were going to die either way, why not kill this bastard in front of them first!

Could he really take on a thousand of us alone?

...

As the sun set, the clouds and the wind were blood red.

Fang Cunzai, dragging his slightly notched Horizontal Blade, stepped into the inn leaving bloody footprints with each step.

The people inside the inn jumped when they saw the broad-faced man return.

Especially the server, who had heated the wine back and forth nearly twenty times, almost drying it out.

After placing down his Horizontal Blade, Fang Cunzai found his previous spot and sat down, then said weakly, "Is there anything to eat? I’m really hungry."

The server immediately came over with food and then asked, "Would you like to tend to your wounds first, sir? You’re all covered in blood!"

Fang Cunzai shook his head, grabbed a pancake and, not minding the blood on his hands, tore into it immediately.

After a few bites, Fang Cunzai slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"I have cleared all the bandits around here for you. From now on, you all can go out without worry."

The server’s jaw nearly dropped.

"There are over a thousand bandits around here!"

"One thousand and twenty-four, all killed," said Fang Cunzai, handing the empty plate back to the server.

"Bring some more; I’m too hungry."

In his shock, the server hastily flattered, "Sir, you truly are a divine being! To confront a thousand alone, your strength inexhaustible! What a great man..."

Fang Cunzai glanced at the server.

"Just bring the food!"

Fang Cunzai was truly famished, having not eaten anything all day and night. Who would have thought that starting from noon today until the sunset this evening, he would be occupied all afternoon.

It’s not just about a thousand bandits with some combat ability; even killing a thousand pigs tied up there would be exhausting!

At this moment, Fang Cunzai felt his arm, the one holding the blade, trembling.

He just couldn’t understand why these people said he had robbed and beaten them yesterday.

I clearly arrived only today!
