Zhang San, please behave yourself!

Chapter 344: Chapter 329: Eight Corpses, New Clues! _2

Seeing Zheng Poyue say this, Zhang San suddenly laughed.

He stood up, flexed his wrists, tore a strip of cloth from his clothes, and wrapped it around his hand with the split tiger’s mouth and the Horizontal Blade.

"Zheng Poyue! You people from the great clans, with your insights, resources, and opportunities, to be honest, I am very envious. But I also have to say, there’s one thing about you that’s not so good..."

As he spoke, Zhang San shook his head and curled his lip, "You always think that in this world, only you have the most insight, only you have the most resources, only you have the opportunities to obtain what others can’t!"

"You are human, we are too! If you can become stronger, so can we!"

"Those who see themselves as above others will inevitably be swept up by the common dust, to fall into the grit, their pride shattered!"

"Today, let me, Zhang San, show you, Zheng Poyue, what it means to be a ’double core true man’!"

The very next moment, Zhang San’s aura exploded once more.

From the Five Emperors’ Proper Position to Qi Flow Transformation is essentially the metamorphosis within the True Core!

But Zhang San is different; after the battle in Fengdu County City, he had two True Cores within his body!

At this moment, Zhang San once again reached the peak of Qi Flow Transformation!

For a while, the powerful force of the Heaven and Earth Laws once again converged in the blade held in Zhang San’s hands.

Although both men had just expended a great deal of energy, the ensuing combat was but the collision of two exhausted arrows at their ends.

But Zhang San’s arrow was reinforced with the power of the Heaven and Earth Laws, while the arrow on the other side was burning itself out.

Zheng Poyue had not been able to slay Zhang San with his previous downward charging momentum, and now, facing another bout of combat, coupled with the shock of Zhang San’s recent breakthrough, doubt momentarily seized Zheng Poyue.

A loss in body is not the end.

But a loss in spirit, even if the battle has not begun, the outcome is already sealed.

Boom——

On the top of Shouyang Mountain, another huge explosion erupted.

The massive shockwave swept away the surrounding rubble even further.

Even a stone as large as a palm after being flung out, happened to hit a boulder on the peak, breaking a fragile shell of the boulder and creating a missing chunk with cracks all around.

Pu!

Pu!

Pu!

From amidst the dust, Zheng Poyue came charging out, gritting his teeth.

At this moment, he was about to curse Zhang San shamelessly when he opened his mouth, but what came out was a mouthful of fresh blood instead.

While Zhang San held the bow in his left hand and an arrow ready in his right.

Even though his own strength was limited now.

But the bow was just an ordinary bow and not difficult to draw.

And Zheng Poyue’s armor had been torn off by himself.

Let him show off and flex his muscles! Served him right!

Now with not a bit of defense, he was practically begging me to shoot him!

Zheng Poyue bit down on a bloodied tooth and glared at Zhang San, cursing, "You’re despicable! In a face-to-face fight, you actually circled to my back and launched a sneak attack!"

Zhang San sneered in response, "It was you who wanted a face-to-face fight, not me!"

"And what I just performed was the ’Eight-step Instant Flash’ from the Xun Wind Breathing Technique, a perfectly legitimate Martial Style! What’s wrong with using a Martial Style to break through a strong offense?"

Zheng Poyue’s front chest had a huge wound, but it had healed due to the Blood Burning Combat Method.

But now his back was slashed deeply once again.

This time without the armor, Zheng Poyue would have had his spine chopped into pieces by Zhang San’s blade if he hadn’t dodged just in time.

"Zhang San, you’re ruthless! I concede defeat!"

Zhang San laughed.

"Zheng Poyue, what are you talking about? It was clearly you who set up the fog formation, for some reason killed the young master of the Wen Family, Wen Rulie, and just happened to be seen by me. Then, guilty as charged, you fled the fog only to resist arrest violently when I caught up, and ultimately you died at my hands! What surrender are you talking about?"

Zheng Poyue angrily said, "Zhang San, you think killing me means you can live? In the fog, all the others were shot by you, right? Hahaha... Even if I die, I’ll just be waiting for you a little longer on the Yellow River Road."

Zhang San looked puzzled at Zheng Poyue, exclaiming, "What do you mean I shot all the people in the fog? What are you talking about? It was clearly someone aiming at the Baili Family who intended to leave the Town Demon Office and join the Town Martial Office, so they ambushed and killed the Baili people in the fog. And it seems that the Baili Family discovered something, so they counterattacked."

"Of course, maybe someone from the Baili Family wanted to encircle and kill these people, so they arranged this mist Formation, and as a result, they were all killed by someone else."

Zheng Poyue listened to Zhang San’s words, the more he listened, the more confused he became.

"What do you mean the Baili Family killed other people, and other people killed the Baili Family?"

"Didn’t you notice that all the arrows used to kill bore the mark of the Baili Family?"

Zhang San said this and took out an arrow of the Baili Family, inserting it into Zheng Poyue’s quiver that lay on the ground beside him.

"Oh right, these arrows were all previously stolen by me. I guessed that you were up to something, so I prepared in advance. But the arrows I shot during our fight were all my own. With a comparison of the two, one can prove that I had no knowledge of what actually happened within the mist."

"As for whether it was the Baili Family who encircled and killed the others, or if someone else wanted to kill the members of the Baili Family, or even if you, Zheng Poyue, colluded with others to frame the Baili Family for the Wen Family’s death, that’s a case for you to figure out at your leisure!"

"I am merely a small Acting Military Chief of the Town Martial Office who, in the face of injustice, apprehends and kills the murderer of Wen Rulie."

After Zhang San finished laying out his planned story in one breath, Zheng Poyue was completely dumbstruck.

At this moment, Zheng Poyue could no longer feel the immense pain in his back.

The only emotion he could still feel was despair, a boundless despair that surged like the tide.

From a young age, Zheng Poyue had been the pride of the Zheng Family and a shining star in the Capital.

Yet now, upon his return from the northern front lines, he thought it would be a triumphant return, only to be crushed in both strength and intelligence the moment he sought to avenge his clan brother.

While speaking just now, Zhang San had also regained some strength and Qi. Drawing his bow and aiming an arrow, he targeted Zheng Poyue.

"With an arrow it began, with an arrow it shall end. Zheng Poyue, in your next life, forget it, in case your Zheng Family employs some method to obliterate the soul, once you die, I’ll just refine your soul as well!"

Zheng Poyue knew Zhang San was ruthless!

But this was just too ruthless!

Whoosh——

Thud!

Seeing Zhang San shoot an arrow, Zheng Poyue bit his teeth and leapt up, although he was still hit by Zhang San, but it only struck his waist.

Zheng Poyue immediately rushed towards a massive boulder at the summit behind him.

As he spoke just now, he was also thinking about how he could escape this deadly situation.

Then he noticed that the boulder on the peak seemed fake, as if a hole had been knocked into it by another stone.

Perhaps inside that boulder, there was a whole new world!

A glimmer of hope!

Therefore, facing imminent death, Zheng Poyue ran desperately towards the boulder. Although he was limited in strength and even more so in speed, every time Zhang San’s bowstring sounded behind him, an arrow pierced his body, but he still bit his teeth and charged towards the boulder.

With a loud bang,

Zheng Poyue rammed straight into the boulder.

Indeed, the boulder was just a shell on the surface, hollow on the inside.

But to Zheng Poyue’s disappointment, inside the boulder wasn’t the entrance to a secret realm, nor was it an abyss of opportunities waiting for him.

It was just a plain ground with Rune Arrays carved by someone unknown on the floor, and there were eight corpses lying beside it.

When Zhang San, who was chasing from behind, saw the Formation here, he couldn’t help but be startled.

The Formation here was exactly like the ones in the Floating Corpse Cases at the Ba River and Qu Pond Fang!

Bang and crackle——

Zhang San knew that if he continued to attack Zheng Poyue, it would raise suspicions of tampering with the scene.

But to be honest, now that he knew the entire information of the Formation, he didn’t want others to know the full picture of the Formation.

After all, the investigation was also related to the accountability issue of the battle that took place in Fengdu County City previously.

Therefore, Zhang San used up his recently acquired Qi to perform the Thunder Method.

As successive bolts of lightning struck the summit of Shouyang Mountain, Zheng Poyue’s whole body was tender on the outside and tender on the inside.

Zhang San looked at the surrounding Formation, damaged by the lightning, and revealed a satisfied smile.

With the culprit executed, the next step was to notify the Magistrate of Metropolitan Prefecture and the Town Martial Office to investigate the case!
