Zhang San, please behave yourself!

Chapter 395: Chapter 370: Zhang San, Face Your Doom!

"Looking at this person’s badge, he must be from the Town Demon Office,"

Vermilion Bird said emotionlessly, as he looked at Wen Ruyu, who was being choked and held hostage by Zhang San.

Wen Ruyu immediately shouted, "I am Wen Ruyu of the Wen Family! Save me! Vermilion Bird Principal Officer, save me!"

Vermilion Bird snorted coldly and glanced at Zhang San.

"He’s not one of our Town Martial Office’s men, if he dies, he dies!"

For the first time, Wen Ruyu experienced what it meant to feel despair!

"What’s the matter with all of you in the Town Martial Office? Would you just watch him die?"

Zhang San slapped Wen Ruyu to shut him up, then grinned at Vermilion Bird and said, "He might not be from the Town Martial Office, but I am! Vermilion Bird Principal Officer, please, can you let me get a forty-zhang head start?"

Vermilion Bird looked coldly at Zhang San without saying a word, but the surrounding martial artists of the Town Martial Office had already begun to gather from all directions to encircle.

"I am truly not the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Punishment Sect! Truly! I swear on Wen Ruyu’s life!"

Zhang San said earnestly. If it hadn’t been for the surrounding martial artists listening intently to what exactly Zhang San was saying, they almost would have believed him.

At this moment, Wen Ruyu, falling into the hands of Zhang San, also looked utterly desolate.

"Fine! I’ll strike you once, and if Wen Ruyu doesn’t die, it will prove you are innocent."

Boom!

As Vermilion Bird spoke, he blasted a palm strike towards Zhang San.

Zhang San leapt up, taking Wen Ruyu along and moving with the fastest speed of his life.

"Wen Ruyu, you’d better not pretend to be dead at this moment. Vermilion Bird and I have a grudge about killing her son, guess if she would take an extra life while trying to kill me!"

Originally, Wen Ruyu had thought about moving slower on purpose, risking injury to let Zhang San be caught.

But he never expected that Zhang San actually had such a deep feud with the Principal Officer of the Town Martial Office!

"How can you have so many enemies?"

"Sometimes I don’t understand it myself, how I could be so outstanding!"

At that moment, although Zhang San was holding Wen Ruyu hostage, Wen Ruyu was also pushing his own speed to the limit.

After all, any slower and he would truly be killed by Vermilion Bird’s strike.

And just then, Vermilion Bird had only gently struck a palm, aiming to force Zhang San away from the vicinity of the buildings.

Otherwise, damaging the buildings of the Stone Buddha Temple would be hard to explain to Kaihuang.

As Zhang San fled with Wen Ruyu, the surrounding martial artists immediately closed in.

"We are all from the same side, isn’t this unnecessary?"

While Zhang San pleaded verbally, his hand’s Thunder Method roared, and in an instant, thunder boomed around him, forcing all who approached to retreat.

At that moment, Zhang Datui, the Chief of the Town Demon Office, who had just reached the exterior of the Stone Buddha Temple, hearing the sound of thunder inside, knew someone had made a move before him.

"Quick! Capture Zhang San alive!"

Over a hundred martial artists from the Town Demon Office, no longer caring about proprieties, leapt over the temple’s walls and charged directly towards the pursued Zhang San.

And when Zhang Datui saw Vermilion Bird, he immediately rushed up to block him.

"Vermilion Bird Principal Officer, fancy seeing you enjoying a temple visit!"

Vermilion Bird glared at Zhang Datui and snapped, "Get lost! I’m capturing the fugitive Zhang San!"

Zhang Datui chuckled and said, "Sorry, but this fugitive is claimed by the Town Demon Office!"

"I see you don’t even want your life anymore!"

Vermilion Bird had intended to capture Zhang San alive, as he wanted to avenge his son, not by killing him directly, but by thoroughly investigating everything.

But facing Zhang Datui from the Town Demon Office, he didn’t have such reservations.

At this moment, at least twenty martial artists from the Town Martial Office had caught up behind Zhang San, and suddenly a large group from the Town Demon Office charged at him from the front, some even sprouting wings on their backs.

Just then, a giant flame exploded in the sky far away, and the powerful wave of the explosion knocked everyone to the ground.

Zhang San seized the opportunity, taking Wen Ruyu along, and escaped with the impetus of the flames.

At this moment, Wen Ruming, who had just arrived at Stone Buddha Temple with other members of the Wen Family, saw the people from the Town Demon Office and Town Martial Office lying on the ground far away, while Zhang San was escaping with Wen Ruyu.

In mid-air, the Chief Vermilion Bird of the Town Martial Office was fiercely hammering the Chief Zhang Datui of the Town Demon Office.

Wen Ruming raised his hand, signaling his followers to not rush into action.

"Let’s go to that room!"

The people following him were startled and said, "Young Master, aren’t we here to kill Zhang San? Zhang San is over there!"

Wen Ruming scoffed and said, "That’s because you know too little about Zhang San. Not only is he extremely cunning, but more importantly, Zhang San knows a technique called ’replacement,’ which enables him to instantly switch places with some kind of wooden object."

"Besides, Zhang San being able to escape from the Ministry of Punishment’s prison must mean he has incredible skills! So we will just wait for him in that room, as everyone might chase after him when he runs out, and he might go back!"

Thus, Wen Ruming led his men to the only room with an open door.

"I’ll wait inside; you all prepare an ambush around here, and the moment I give the signal, storm in!"

Wen Ruming said as he walked into the room previously occupied by Zhang San, closing the door behind him, making it look as though nothing in the room had changed.

Then he began searching the room for any traces Zhang San might have left behind.

"I refuse to believe that Zhang San hid here without leaving any clues. Perhaps like a wily hare, he has hints to other hiding spots here."

Wen Ruming had considered bringing a couple of trusted subordinates in to help search.

But the reason he had found Zhang San at Stone Buddha Temple was that he had bribed someone close to Wen Ruyu.

Since he could bribe someone close to Wen Ruyu, how could he ensure that Wen Ruyu wouldn’t bribe someone close to him?

Therefore, it seemed better to search for such critical clues himself.

Meanwhile, the three people hidden in the wardrobe, hearing the noise outside had stopped, were preparing to come out.

Then someone entered again.

And this person did not just enter; he started rummaging through things as soon as he did.

Had they been burglarized?

All three silently extended a hand, using Qi to hold the previously dismantled cabinet door in place, preventing it from exposing them if the intruder opened the door.

After searching for a while, Wen Ruming saw the wardrobe and said solemnly, "Zhang San used the technique ’replacement’, it must be something fairly large to replace each other. Could it be inside the wardrobe?"

Thus, he placed his hand on the wardrobe door, while the three inside uncontrollably released more Qi, adhering the falling cabinet door even more firmly.

Squeak!

Wen Ruming pulled open the other side of the wardrobe door.

Bang, bang, bang!

All three threw punches simultaneously.

Wen Ruming saw the fists getting bigger and bigger, and the next moment, the entire world went dark for him.

Shortly after, when Wen Ruming regained consciousness, he immediately called people in.

However, when the Wen family’s people came in, they searched for a long time and only found a straw figure under the windowsill at the back of the house.

Although Wen Ruming had not seen clearly who had knocked him out, when he saw the straw figure, he felt that it was the substitute Zhang San had used while deploying the replacement technique.

"Get ready, place this straw figure on the ground and surround it; Zhang San will definitely switch back with it soon. Once the figure changes, strike it down immediately!"

With a black eye, Wen Ruming stared at the straw figure on the ground and spoke through gritted teeth.

At that moment, Zhang San discovered that Stone Buddha Temple seemed to be surrounded by people from the Town Martial Office and the Town Demon Office.

Fortunately, the two principal officers fought among themselves, preventing any stronger figures from pursuing him.

Still, there were about twenty or thirty people from the Spiritual Platform Realm chasing him at a quick pace.

But everyone knew Wen Ruyu was part of the Wen family.

Vermilion Bird didn’t care about Wen Ruyu’s life, but with two young masters of the Wen family already dead, using Wen Ruyu as a hostage was still very effective.

However, Zhang San saw Zhang Datui being beaten by Vermilion Bird till he almost vomited blood; he guessed the chief of the Town Demon Office couldn’t hold on much longer either.

And he had also fled near a location he had previously prepared.

"Zhang San, just surrender; you’re about to dismantle me with all this trouble!"

"What dismantling, what nonsense are you spouting?! I’m saving your life here!"

"But they aren’t after me! Why should I be running for my life?"

"So should I let you go?"

For some reason, hearing Zhang San speak of letting him go, Wen Ruyu felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

After all, from his understanding of Zhang San, there was no reason for Zhang San to let him go.

So if Zhang San really did let him go, there might be an even greater danger awaiting him.

"No, no, no! I think I can still protect..."

Before Wen Ruyu could finish his sentence, he saw Zhang San, while running with him, casually pluck some tall grass from a nearby flower bush and flicked it.

The grass instantly transformed into several ropes, which meticulously bound Wen Ruyu in a traditional rope bondage.

Wen Ruyu hadn’t even processed why Zhang San was so proficient when Zhang San suddenly flung him toward the people from Town Martial Office and Town Demon Office chasing behind.

"Go!"

In that moment, the martial artists from Town Martial Office and Town Demon Office immediately dodged and then realized Zhang San had thrown a living weapon. Many quickly reached out to catch Wen Ruyu.

After all, protecting a young master of the Wen Family was always the right thing to do.

But just as Wen Ruyu floated mid-air, his entire being suddenly transformed into a straw figure, landing at the feet of the people from Town Demon Office.

These people couldn’t comprehend how the thoroughly normal Wen Ruyu had turned directly into a straw figure.

Meanwhile, in the room Zhang San had originally stayed in, the straw figure on the ground suddenly turned into a living person.

While the people of the Wen family had not yet seen who the person was,

it was clearly someone coming back in place through the technique ’replacement’; who else could it be?

Zhang San, surrender!
