Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 203 - 197: You are surrounded, surrender immediately!

Chapter 203: Chapter 197: You are surrounded, surrender immediately!

The Dragon Slaying Alliance proceeded with caution all the way, and ultimately discovered that there seemed to be no one from the Dragon Serpent Gang along the route.

Feeling played, they headed straight for the southern side of Eighteen Moon Lake, intending to cross the river and strike directly at the Dragon Serpent Gang.

Then, just as everyone was constructing various styles of bridges over the turbulent river with their techniques and rushing across, they suddenly encountered an attack from the Dragon Serpent Gang’s formations.

In an instant, countless flying swords came attacking from a distance, and many formations in the river were activated.

Numerous colossal pillars of water that shot straight into the sky swept many away into the river, then carried them off as if flushing toilets.

Especially some of the weaker martial artists had no chance to react before they were swept away.

But the Dragon Slaying Alliance came with overwhelming momentum this time, and with the twenty-four families each possessing their own skills, they quickly crossed the river and engaged in an intense battle with the Dragon Serpent Gang.

The Dragon Serpent Gang, failing to hold them off, kept retreating.

The Dragon Slaying Alliance, sensing victory was imminent, charged into the woods only to find themselves in the midst of traps.

Little did they know, after Zhang San left, he immediately rushed to inform the Dragon Serpent Gang to be wary of the impending massive attack from the Dragon Slaying Alliance.

So, during this time, the Dragon Serpent Gang finally ceased their internal strife and united against their external enemies.

Now, although the remaining eleven Pond Masters still harbored intentions of assuming the role of gang leader, their most pressing concern was to withstand the enemy’s assault.

After all, if the Dragon Serpent Gang was no more, what was there left to fight over!

Moreover, most of the more violently aggressive individuals had already perished, and among the surviving eleven Pond Masters, not all were the type to shun death, but at least they all understood the value of peace.

Thus, through the concerted efforts of the Dragon Serpent Gang, the advance of the Dragon Slaying Alliance was significantly slowed.

At the same time, many martial artists who thought they could take advantage of the situation realized that coming here would only turn them into cannon fodder, particularly those with lower abilities.

So, many people began to withdraw during their passage through the jungle.

However, the family members of the twenty-four martial path powers held a grudge against the Dragon Serpent Gang, and some who fought for justice were also unwilling to return empty-handed, and continued to command their subordinates to charge forward reluctantly.

In the end, fierce confrontations erupted between the two sides in the areas of Drinking Moon Lake, Shattered Moon Pond, and Reflective Moon Lake.

Flying swords and techniques whistled through the air, while runes and curses were incessantly exchanged.

Just as the battle reached its peak, a loud roar came from the distance.

"Everyone present listen, you are now surrounded by the Town Martial Office, lay down your weapons, put your hands on your heads, and surrender immediately!"

Zhang San’s shout from atop the Forty-Eight Layers Tower startled many people present.

Particularly some of the more timid martial artists started to run away at the sight of the Town Martial Office’s arrival.

But even more were reckless, continuing to fight without taking Zhang San who stood at the highest point in the distance into consideration.

Zhang San watched these fighting martial artists with a cold smile.

As a law-abiding martial artist of the Town Martial Office, he enjoyed dealing with such uncontrollable outlaws who ignored warnings.

Zhang San raised his hand, and over three hundred martial artists formerly of the Mysterious Soldiers Sect, who had already assembled behind him, immediately controlled their flying swords and Mysterious Weapons, following the gesture of Zhang San’s hand to send the flying swords out.

In the intense battlefield, if only a few flying swords attacked, most could dodge.

But when over three hundred flying swords came at once, the situation was entirely different.

The wave-like onslaught of flying swords roared through, indifferent whether you belonged to Dragon Serpent Gang or Dragon Slaying Alliance; as long as a target was spotted, it was attacked.

In a flash, at least one third of the martial artists who had just been fighting fiercely fell to the ground.

Another third turned and fled.

As for the remaining third, they were either lucky enough or died gloriously enough.

Following a sweep through the battlefield like harvesting wheat, Zhang San looked down at everyone below, shock written all over their faces, and smiled faintly.

"Now, I, Zhang San, will say it a second time, lay down your weapons and put your hands on your heads!"

Seeing the bodies around them, still standing despite being pierced with several holes by the flying swords, many were frightened into immediately crouching down with their hands on their heads.

Zhang San then turned to address a few Military Chiefs behind him, "Order the Dragon Serpent Gang to fall back, then capture all from the Dragon Slaying Alliance, separate the family members and friends from the twenty-four families and other participants."

Previously, Zhang San had brought five hundred people to Dragon Serpent Gang, but this time, with the addition of the female disciples originally belonging to the Dragon Serpent Gang, the numbers had swelled to over a thousand.

These martial artists being detained had no idea when the Town Martial Office had so many people, and even more so, so many women.

"Oh, righteous official of the Town Martial Office, please investigate clearly! Our family head was invited by the Dragon Serpent Gang and died under mysterious circumstances, our quest for vengeance is just and ordained!"

Zhang San pointed towards the distance and said, "Over there are twenty-four flags, the characters on them represent the family members seeking revenge from the twenty-four families; go to your respective family’s flag. Everyone else stay put."

Then, Zhang San glanced at the martial artist who had just spoken and said coldly, "I can understand the sentiment of seeking revenge for the death of someone from your family. But are you certain it was the Dragon Serpent Gang who killed them?"

The martial artist hesitated for a moment, then defiantly shouted, "Even if it wasn’t the Dragon Serpent Gang who killed them, they’re still related! If not for the Dragon Serpent Gang’s invitation, would they have ventured out, and if they had not gone out, how could they have been harmed by
