Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 243 - 234: Stabbing at Your Kidney!

Chapter 243: Chapter 234: Stabbing at Your Kidney!

Uncle Liu was instantly stunned. He had burst forth with such rapid speed that he had forgotten Wen Ruchu was only in the Qi Flow Transformation of the True Core Realm, and simply couldn’t keep up with him.

After all, Zhang San was too fast, which made Uncle Liu forget that there was still a significant gap between his young master and Zhang San.

"Uncle Liu, we’ve met each other now, and I don’t want to make it difficult for you. Just put the ledger down and stand still," said Zhang San.

Uncle Liu didn’t make any moves. Instead, he was looking for an opportunity to strike. After all, in his eyes, there was a big realm difference between himself and Zhang San, and killing Zhang San seemed no different from killing an ant.

But Zhang San slightly pressed the Horizontal Blade against Wen Ruchu’s neck, leaving a faint trace of blood.

Seeing the fresh blood flow down, Uncle Liu became a bit flustered.

"Zhang San, do not harm my young master. I’ll put the ledger down right away," he said.

As he spoke, Uncle Liu placed the scroll, intertwined with Demonic Qi, on the ground.

During an earlier moment when Zhang San had dodged, shadows dispatched had already set up in the distance.

Just as Uncle Liu had placed the scroll down, formations activated simultaneously from three different locations, and then three arrows shot directly towards him.

Uncle Liu was taken aback.

He had reinforcements?

When Uncle Liu and Wen Ruchu had arrived earlier, they had found eight experts in the Spiritual Platform Realm lying in ambush outside, so Uncle Liu personally took action and killed all eight of them.

At the time, Uncle Liu thought these individuals were reinforcements Zhang San had called for outside, but he never expected Zhang San to have another card up his sleeve.

Uncle Liu leapt into the air, flying up to avoid the three arrows.

"Haha, it was a good plan, but your speed is just..."

Before he could finish saying "too slow," Uncle Liu noticed the three arrows that had flown past below him curve back towards him.

Boom, boom, boom!

The three arrows circled back and hit Uncle Liu, exploding upon impact.

Seeing Uncle Liu being obliterated by the three arrows, Wen Ruchu’s face was filled with rage.

"Uncle Liu—"

"Don’t shout!" Zhang San slapped Wen Ruchu’s face with the Horizontal Blade, "After all, he’s in the late period of the Spiritual Platform Realm. He won’t die just from this."

Wen Ruchu angrily said, "With such a loud explosion, isn’t the ledger..."

Slap—

Zhang San took out a Secret Manual from the Gluttonous Bag with his other hand and smacked it across Wen Ruchu’s face, laughing, "How could I be so foolish as to actually give him the ledger! This is the real one! I told you it was a ledger, but that thing was clearly a Magical Treasure of the Demon Path. How could it possibly be a ledger! Does your family use Magical Treasures as ledgers?"

In truth, the manual Zhang San now held was just an ordinary Demonic Cultivation Secret Manual, but it was enough to deceive someone of Wen Ruchu’s intellect.

As he spoke, Zhang San noticed the smoke from the explosion had cleared, but Uncle Liu was nowhere to be seen.

With the enemy concealed and himself exposed, and knowing Uncle Liu’s speed and strength were both formidable, Zhang San quickly took out a raincoat to drape over Wen Ruchu. He then sealed Wen Ruchu’s Qi with a Talisman, bound him with vines, covered him with the raincoat, and tossed him into the nearby bushes.

He then jumped into the shadow of a approaching figure to hide.

Meanwhile, on another mountain peak, Sister Ling and others had already arrived.

Earlier, they had noticed Wen Ruchu and Uncle Liu engage with eight unknown Spiritual Platform Realm fighters. Keeping their Qi concealed, they continued to wait for Zhang San to appear.

Indeed, now they finally saw Zhang San but never expected that he could survive an attack from Uncle Liu and that it seemed both sides were locked in a fierce struggle.

Ximen Jinxing whispered, "Sister Ling, let’s go support them!"

However, Xu shook his head and said softly, "With the current situation, both Uncle Liu and Zhang San are hidden. If we go now, we would only be a burden to Zhang San. Let’s slowly get closer and always be ready to rescue. Should Zhang San face any danger, then we’ll intervene; otherwise, revealing ourselves prematurely might put both us and Zhang San in jeopardy."

Although Ximen Jinxing still wanted to rush over to save Zhang San, she had a soft spot for Zhang San but wasn’t foolish. She understood that in battles involving the Spiritual Platform Realm, following the advice of Military Chiefs from the Realm was safer.

Following that, everybody saw arrows explode on the opposite mountainside from time to time. An elder from the Spiritual Platform Realm with a dirt-smudged face would stand up from the bushes, looking highly displeased.

Clearly, Zhang San had already locked onto Uncle Liu, while Uncle Liu couldn’t find Zhang San at all.

But soon, Uncle Liu realized that just after he had secretly gone back to pick up the magical treasure Zhang San had given him earlier, he was continuously discovered.

Upon closer inspection, wasn’t this the demonic artifact, the "Eight Hundred Souls-breaking Record"?

An evil magical treasure used by the Demon Path to absorb other people’s souls or soul fragments, and then to enhancing one’s cultivation speed and talents.

How could this thing possibly be a ledger!

No doubt Zhang San was relying on his perception of this demonic artifact to ambush him time after time!

He had been tricked!

As Uncle Liu threw the Eight Hundred Souls-breaking Record on the ground, he also hid himself.

Atop the hillock, it remained quiet for a long, long time.

Seeing Uncle Liu discard the demonic artifact, Zhang San could no longer sense Uncle Liu’s location through the Golden Light Divine Incantation, while Uncle Liu was cautiously searching for Zhang San.

Suddenly, Uncle Liu noticed a person lying in the grass not far away.

The person was clothed in rain gear covered entirely in wild grass, looking very much as if deliberately hiding.

Was it Zhang San or a decoy?

Given Zhang San’s extreme cunning, Uncle Liu was not sure.

Just then, Uncle Liu noticed a small flag and an arrow next to that person.

Uncle Liu remembered that small flag; it was the one-time formation flag that Zhang San used for shooting arrows.

Zhang San couldn’t shoot arrows, so his archery must depend on this small flag.

Clearly, Zhang San was now lying in ambush here, intending to use the formation flag to shoot arrows and sneak attack him.

Unfortunately, Zhang San had lost track of his location, and with his Spirit Platform Realm strength, overwhelming this lad was more than sufficient.

However, Uncle Liu had become extra cautious.

To guard against this being another one of Zhang San’s traps, Uncle Liu cautiously approached and then suddenly leapt up, unleashing the Spirit Platform Illusion and striking down with a palm.

The second stage of the Spirit Platform Realm, Square Inch Universe, allowed one to materialize the illusion of a Spirit Platform within one’s True Core, which could then be unleashed to enhance combat prowess during a battle.

At this moment, above the vast island, a robust, towering willow tree smashed down with the force of ten thousand tons, heading straight for the crouching Zhang San below.

"Zhang San! Die!"

However, when Uncle Liu struck with full force, he realized the person on the ground had no reaction at all.

And just as his palm was about to strike, the rain gear was pulled open, and the newly freed Wen Ruchu opened his eyes, seeing the gigantic Spirit Platform Illusion descending from the sky.

"No—"

Uncle Liu never expected that he had been tricked yet again.

Initially, he thought that relying on the Spirit Platform Illusion for protection meant he didn’t have to worry about Zhang San’s surprise attacks.

But he never expected Zhang San to actually have placed the young master there.

Despite everything, Uncle Liu rapidly retracted his Spirit Platform Illusion, and though the illusion was swiftly withdrawn, the remaining force of his palm still descended.

Though Uncle Liu tried his hardest to redirect his palm towards the side of the ground, he still caused the lying Wen Ruchu to spit out a large mouthful of blood.

"Young master, are you alright?"

Pff—

Just then, Zhang San, who had emerged from the shadows behind Uncle Liu, lunged forward and stabbed Uncle Liu in the side.
