Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 288 - 277: Is it you?

Chapter 288: Chapter 277: Is it you?

Upon seeing the masked assassin suddenly leap out, Zhang San furrowed his brows and thought to himself, ’This is bad.’

Previously, he had believed that the Crown Prince would definitely not send anyone to deal with them, not only because of his own analysis but because the Crown Prince should have made a clear and rational choice.

More importantly, what kind of place is this now?

It’s less than a hundred miles away from Daxing City in the Capital!

If a battle were to break out here, those in the Capital would definitely sense it.

Yet under these circumstances, the other party still made their move.

Moreover, they didn’t ambush them, taking advantage of their unawareness to poison them or suddenly attack using a formation, but they directly surrounded them.

This indicated that these people were confident that they could eliminate Zhang San and the others once and for all right here.

Zhang San slowly stood up and waved towards Third Miss Gan and Xu.

At this moment, Third Miss Gan also sensed the murderous intent emanating from these suddenly appearing masked figures.

"Big Sister, it seems like we forgot to consider that the Crown Prince is an idiot in our previous analysis. What do we do now?"

Zhang San’s tone was full of helplessness and he also felt that his own strength was still too weak.

He had not yet perfected the technique of the Five Emperors’ Proper Positions.

Third Miss Gan glanced at the masked people surrounding them and whispered, "Six Purple Mansion Realm experts, among them are two at the ’Sea Creates Sun and Moon’ phase of the Purple Mansion Realm."

"Additionally, there are twelve at the Spiritual Platform Realm, all of whom have reached the final stage of ’Holding the Origin and Preserving Unity,’ and saying they are half-step Purple Mansion wouldn’t be overstated."

"Also, there are forty-eight True Core Realm masters around, all at the ’True Core to the Sea’ stage."

Though Third Miss Gan spoke in a calm tone, Zhang San knew that for them to confront the sixty-six masked people aiming to assassinate them, the chance of victory was not considerable.

At this moment, a strong sense of crisis began to surge in Zhang San’s heart.

But fortunately...

"Don’t worry, Big Sister, Xu has now become a Purple Mansion Realm expert. Based on my understanding of Xu, he alone can handle six Purple Mansion Realm adversaries, no problem!"

Xu looked at Zhang San embarrassedly and whispered, "In the Capital Region Road, those from the Realm of Life and Death are suppressed, or to be precise, the Path of Life and Death is suppressed by the Imperial Path, so right now I can only exert the combat power of the late Spiritual Platform Realm, and not even at my peak."

Zhang San had originally thought that since Xu was of the Purple Mansion Realm, and his internal "spirit" was also very strong,

The two of them joining forces to fight against six wouldn’t be a problem.

But he had never expected...

"Big Sister, then is there any chance you could fight six by yourself?"

Third Miss Gan glanced at Zhang San.

"I could certainly take on six if I were beating you up."

At that moment, a lady stood up and walked towards Zhang San and the others.

"Little brother, since your sister recognizes you, naturally she will also help you in times of trouble. I happened to bring along a Purple Mansion Realm master as a guard on my trip, who has stayed hidden all this while. Although he’s just entered the Purple Mansion Realm, his ability to withstand several of the enemy’s attacks and draw the attention of Daxing City should be no problem."

As she spoke, the lady stretched out her hands and gently clapped three times.

Clap, clap, clap.

Following that, a figure descended from the sky.

With a splash—

A white-haired corpse was thrown into the courtyard.

At that moment, one of the six Purple Mansion Realm martial artists standing on the courtyard wall spat on the body below.

"We discovered this old geezer hiding nearby earlier, so we took care of him first,"

he said, his gaze toward the woman icy cold.

"Madam, you were not supposed to die. Unfortunately, you came here inadvertently, so your fate will be the same as those from the Town Martial Office. You’re undoubtedly doomed."

Upon hearing this, the woman’s brow furrowed slightly.

She had thought her guardian was capable enough to protect her in the shadows, yet she did not expect him to be stealthily killed.

At this moment, Zhang San stepped forward and glanced at the Purple Mansion Realm martial artist who had just spoken.

"My sister has guards from the Purple Mansion Realm by her side, and this was just one guard. So, do you think my sister’s identity is simple? Dare you really make a move against her like this? Do you truly have such confidence?"

Zhang San shouted fiercely, simultaneously releasing a might from Forty-Eight Layers Tower, which even caused a True Core Realm martial artist standing on the courtyard wall to stagger and fall off.

The Purple Mansion Realm martial artist who had spoken just glanced coldly at Zhang San and slowly raised his right hand, pointing a finger.

With a loud pop.

The Feng Chengying that Zhang San had secretly set up was shattered with a single point.

"Save your petty tricks for someone else. It’s not just this lady guarded by the Purple Mansion Realm that we won’t spare—every martial artist from the Town Martial Office and even officers from the Ministry of Punishment, we didn’t plan to let any of you go. What do you think we have to fear?"

Zhang San was actually trying to make the other party accidentally reveal some news about the Crown Prince.

Then, all Wei had to do was to take Feng Chengying and quickly flee to Daxing City for help, and they would be set.

But this foe was undoubtedly ruthless.

"This rain was prepared just for you. Killing under the rain, washing away all traces. Everyone, stand up and take one last look at the clouds under this dark sky. That way, when you meet King Yan below, maybe he will be merciful based on this cloud and let you know whose hands you really died by. You died by the hands of a mighty figure who can cover the sky with one hand!"

As the Purple Mansion Realm powerhouse spoke, Zhang San and the others already sensed the pressure in the surrounding air starting to condense, as if a huge hand was truly gathering in the sky, about to fall.

Zhang San placed his hand on the Horizontal Blade at his waist, and the other martial artists present also prepared to draw their weapons.

But at that moment, a streak of golden light pierced through the dark clouds.

Then, it seemed as though a massive square seal descended from the skies above, crashing down upon the courtyard.

In the dazzling radiance, Zhang San could scarcely make out the runes that made up the golden light.

Faintly, Zhang San could only make out two characters floating within the golden light.

One was "Heaven" and the other was "Longevity."

Of course, Zhang San wasn’t sure those were definitively the characters, as the golden light was too intense, making it impossible for him to open his eyes and see clearly.

When the golden light dissipated, only the masked men’s corpses and a young boy sitting cross-legged on the ground with both hands and feet touching the ground could be seen in the courtyard.

Although the boy’s posture resembled a divine beast perched atop a structure, his face seemed somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, Zhang San glanced at the weeping woman beside him and thought of something.

"Ming, is it you?"
