Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 248 - 239: White Shadow in a Rampage, Hei Cackling!

Chapter 248: Chapter 239: White Shadow in a Rampage, Hei Cackling!

Zhang San went through one Jade Scroll after another, discovering that each contained details of a transaction.

And those taken by Bai Yucheng to participate in the transactions were all female disciples of the Dragon Serpent Gang.

After disclosing everything about the transactions to the other party, Bai Yucheng, fearing that killing them would cause their souls to scatter, would forcefully extract a Soul Fragment from the living woman’s soul.

Throughout the process, the female disciples were in such agony that death seemed preferable, yet they had no such possibility against the overwhelming might of Bai Yucheng.

Zhang San guessed that probably only after Bai Yucheng finished refining this Jade Scroll, completely recording the transaction, would he kill the woman.

At this moment, Zhang San didn’t even realize that, as he looked at the Magical Treasure in his hand, his fist was clenched tight, his teeth gritted.

Long ago, Zhang San had realized that this world was one where the strong preyed upon the weak.

The so-called rules were merely established by the powerful to maintain a semblance of order.

It was precisely because he understood this that Zhang San had not held back at the Pure Stream Sword Sect, not out of a sudden bloodlust as a modern person, but because he knew he needed to adapt to the laws of this world.

You can cherish life, you can choose to respect every life, but never lack the courage to act when you need to.

After all, those wanting to kill you have never been merciful.

Just then, the Earth God that Zhang San had just summoned reappeared.

"Young Daoist, seeing as how you gave me gold, let me tell you something. A group of people is coming from the east. I heard them say they’re here to kill you. Some mentioned capturing you and slowly searching your account books or whatever. Whether they’re here to kill you or not, it looks like they’re after you, so be careful. I too fear death, so I’m leaving first."

With that, the Earth God turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.

At this moment, Zhang San, immersed in the memories within the Magical Treasure, had yet to snap back to reality.

White Shadow peeked out from the shadows and noticed that Zhang San seemed to be captivated by something within the Magical Treasure; it also noticed more than thirty fast horses galloping towards them from the eastern path.

"Zhang San, enemy attack!"

Although White Shadow was loud, he still couldn’t wake Zhang San.

White Shadow didn’t know what state Zhang San was in, but it knew that from here on out, it had to protect Zhang San by itself.

"Hei, you must have considerable combat strength as well, join me in the fight!"

Saying so, White Shadow emerged from Zhang San’s shadow, transforming into a shadow on the ground and racing towards the east.

The group of riders, galloping at breakneck speed, saw Zhang San close by and their faces twisted into malevolent grins.

"First, capture this brat, get the account books, then kill him, you hear me!"

The crowd responded in unison and charged toward Zhang San.

However, just at that moment, with a ’puh’ sound, someone’s horse’s hoof was severed.

The rider flew off the horse and crashed heavily to the ground, only to be trampled over by the hooves of the horses following behind.

Then another person fell from their horse.

Instantly, chaos ensued within the ranks.

The men quickly dismounted and scrutinized their surroundings closely.

Many stood back to back with their comrades.

Then, suddenly, a gash appeared on someone’s neck.

"It’s a black shadow! I didn’t see what it was!"

The person beside them noticed an attack from a black shadow but couldn’t tell whether it was a person or something else.

Everyone cautiously guarded their surroundings.

At that moment, a cultivator in the Spiritual Platform Realm chuckled coldly.

"Don’t be afraid. This is the Shadow Trick, a secret technique few can learn. Once mastered, it allows one to move quickly on the ground like a shadow, even blending into the shadows of others."

Realizing that the enemy came from the shadows, everyone was extremely cautious, watching the shadows beneath their feet.

"The Shadow Trick, tricky to deal with indeed, for it involves sudden appearances and disappearances, but we can’t always be on guard, yet..."

The Spiritual Platform Realm expert paused with a slight smile and continued, "difficult as it may be, it’s easy to cope with because you only need to guard your feet, and the enemy won’t be able to strike. Besides, with so many of us here, we can just send a few to kill Zhang San."

The Spiritual Platform Realm expert signaled to a few people beside him, who quickly ran towards where Zhang San was located.

At that moment, a shadow emerged beneath the foot of one of the departing Martial Artists, and with a slash, one man’s throat was cut.

But just then, a torrent of flame shaped like a dragon descended towards the location of White Shadow.

There was a thunderous explosion.

Not to mention White Shadow, the other three living Martial Artists nearby were also killed by this burst of flame.

"Did you see that, the Cultivator of Shadow Trick, when attacked, can be injured, can die!"

Clearly, the four Martial Artists just dispatched were bait used by the Spiritual Platform Realm practitioner to lure out White Shadow.

At this moment, White Shadow lay on the ground, covered in blood.

Never had it imagined that the opponent would be so ruthless as to even strike down their own people.

Fortunately, it had been in shadow form at the time, for if its true self had been present, it likely would have been blasted to pieces by now.

But now, having suffered severe wounds, it feared it could not withstand the opponent.

"Hei, you better hurry up..."

As White Shadow called out to Hei, it realized that Hei had long since fled far away.

"This damn creature, utterly disloyal!"

White Shadow clenched its teeth and stood up, looking at the Spiritual Platform Realm practitioner opposite it.

"So many people, and only one of you in the Spiritual Platform Realm?"

The opponent sneered coldly, looking at White Shadow.

"So many from the Spiritual Platform Realm have perished this time around. It’s all thanks to Zhang San, who helped me eliminate so many competitors; after returning, my promotion and fortune are almost assured. Therefore, after Zhang San hands over the goods, I will give him a swift end," the opponent said, stepping towards White Shadow.

White Shadow knew it was no match for the Spiritual Platform Realm Cultivator.

If it had been, it wouldn’t have been gravely wounded by just a single blow from the opponent just now.

"What is that!?"

Suddenly, White Shadow looked behind the opponent with a look of astonishment.

Without turning, the practitioners in the Spiritual Platform Realm sneered, but the Martial Artists behind him looked back, only to find nothing.

The Spiritual Platform Realm expert scoffed and said, "Woman, do you think I can’t see through your little tricks? What’s supposed to come out from behind? Tell me!"

At that moment, White Shadow looked behind the opponent with a shocked expression.

For it had seen a Chi Dragon.

It was a black Chi Dragon.

Indeed a mighty creature from the ranks of the Dragon Followers, it was unclear why its silent, slow flight seemed somewhat lewd.

It then proceeded to take bite after bite out of the Martial Artists of the True Core Realm.

The Spiritual Platform Realm Cultivator, sensing the commotion behind, turned in shock.

"Watch out!"

Regrettably, his warning came too late.

At that moment, Hei was manifesting his true form, feasting in a frenzy.

The Spiritual Platform Realm practitioner realized this Chi Dragon was trouble, but the woman before him posed no obstacle; so, as long as he captured Zhang San, the rest didn’t matter.

Just then, the Spiritual Platform Realm expert suddenly felt an incredibly strong killing intent.

Turning his head, he noticed Zhang San, who had just set down his Magical Treasure, and those eyes filled with rage and intent to kill.

"Zhang San, it’s best you surrender meekly in front of a practitioner of the Spiritual Platform Realm like myself, otherwise..."

He was cut off mid-sentence, intimidated by the might in Zhang San’s gaze.

As he wondered how Zhang San, merely at the Five Emperors’ Proper Position of the True Core Realm, could have grasped such might, Zhang San had already slowly drawn his Horizontal Blade.

"Though I wish to learn your identity, right now, I’m more eager to kill! Especially you, who are ignorant of your impending death!"
