Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 406 - 381

Chapter 406: 381

Zhang Datui had just sent a youngster he highly rated flying, hoping that the people from the Demon Clan, seeing that he was there to help Zhang San, would rescue him.

Just then, the martial artist who had been accompanying Zhang Datui on the Execution Oversight Platform rushed over.

"Principal Officer Zhang, just now, the martial artists from the Baili Family spotted Zhang San fleeing westward. However, they failed to intercept him, and the scene left forty to fifty people injured."

Zhang Datui snorted coldly and angrily said, "A bunch of useless people, forty to fifty of them pursuing and blocking a True Core Realm... a martial artist undergoing Qi Flow Transformation, and they ended up like this? Are the martial artists of the Town Demon Office so weak?"

"Principal Officer Zhang, it wasn’t just him."

Hearing this, Zhang Datui felt a bit better.

"It seems there are quite a few who came to help Zhang San."

After all, Zhang Datui knew that the thousands of people previously mixed in the crowd were all transformed members of the Demon Clan. Since Zhang San could get these demons to help, it was also possible that he had invited a group of experts to assist.

The martial artist next to him said awkwardly, "Principal Officer Zhang, including Zhang San, there were just two people. The other person used military blade techniques, and we know Zhang San has no friends in the army. The only one with good relations with the Ministry of War is Pei Shouqi from the Pei Family, so..."

Zhang Datui roared, "What about Pei Shouqi? Even if his father, Pei Renwu, came, I wouldn’t be afraid! It’s not like we haven’t fought before! I’ll meet this..."

Before Zhang Datui could finish speaking, he sensed a surge of Death Qi coming from the east.

In an instant, across the entire Daxing City, dozens of Purple Mansion Realm auras were released simultaneously, warning against the Death Qi of Purple Mansion Realm strength.

However, the Death Qi appeared for just a few moments before it instantly dissipated.

Zhang Datui’s expression changed dramatically; whether or not they could catch Zhang San was secondary. If due to the Town Demon Office’s affair today, a master from the Path of Life and Death infiltrated the Capital, the sins of the Town Demon Office would be grave!

After all, failing to catch Zhang San was merely a lack of contribution, but providing an opportunity for the Path of Life and Death to invade the Capital was something that made Zhang Datui feel a chill down his spine just thinking about it.

Just then, as if it were raining, countless pieces of paper money fluttered down from the sky. They ignited upon touching the ground, quickly turning to ash.

Zhang Datui smelled the burning scent of the paper money in the air, his brow furrowed tightly.

"What on Earth is Zhang San’s background? The All Things Path Demon Clan helps him! The Path of Life and Death has supporters too? Damn, it seems soon there might even be a Calamity from the Path of Calamity mixed in!"

Zhang Datui glanced eastward. Although he felt it might be a trick, it was a trick he had to fall for.

But just as he had taken a few steps toward the east, he sensed a strong wind coming from the west.

In the strong wind, there were flying sand and stones mixed with pieces of paper money scattered from the previous day, presenting a scene as if a calamity was descending.

At that moment, Zhang Datui suddenly realized, this was indeed a trick!

First, they used the Death Qi from the Path of Life and Death in the Purple Mansion Realm from the east to attract him, even drawing the attention of all the Purple Mansion Realm experts in Daxing City.

Then, the sky full of paper money maximized the effect.

Lastly, the flying sand and stones from the west.

It seemed like a master from the Path of Life and Death had arrived, but in reality, all of this was just to lure him to the east while trapping those wanting to pursue Zhang San in the west.

"These people couldn’t really think that I, Zhang Datui, who has fought in Longyou Road for twenty to thirty years, is really such a fool!"

Realizing it was a stratagem, Zhang Datui turned and rushed towards the west.

At this time, Big Head Wang was fighting furiously with sword in hand, and the Town Demon Office’s martial artists were human too; they were also afraid of dying.

But at this moment, Big Head Wang, fearless and fighting fiercely, severely injured about twenty of the Town Demon Office’s martial artists, even chopping off the arm of one trying to sneak attack him from behind.

However, Big Head Wang also suffered over a dozen wounds.

Especially when the people from the Baili Family saw Zhang San leaving and, with Zhang San’s archery no longer suppressing them, they immediately came back to fight. Although now only seven or eight could still shoot arrows, their range was enough to suppress Big Head Wang.

Big Head Wang had been hit by several arrows, yet he clenched his teeth and continued to battle with the surrounding Martial Artists from the Town Demon Office.

"Brother, with skills like yours, you surely weren’t unknown in the army! It’s not worth staking everything for Zhang San!"

"Though you are but of the Five Emperors’ Proper Position, you just severed that Qi Flow Transformation with a horizontal swipe of your blade. Is it worth it for Zhang San?"

Big Head Wang swept with his left hand horizontally, blocking two arrows shot from afar, while his right hand held the blade behind him, ready to strike.

His eyes coldly watched the dozen or so Martial Artists of the Town Demon Office who wanted to approach but were too fearful to advance.

"Have any of you... been saved by someone before? Knowing well you were undoubtedly destined to die, yet they still held on to a sliver of hope and pulled you from the depths of death!"

Many of the Martial Artists from the Town Demon Office were stunned.

They had long been dealing with the Demon Clan of the All Things Path, where life and death were common, albeit not everyday occurrences.

Often, they knew Robe Marsh was fraught with more dangers than fortunes, but turning back to save someone usually meant more deaths.

Seeing close friends with whom they once shared happy times, yet having to turn away in pain, their mouths spoke of rationality over time, but their hearts knew—it was just numbness.

A Martial Artist from the Town Demon Office sneered and asked, "If death is certain, would anyone still save you?"

The air suddenly grew silent.

No one answered the question, for the response stood before them, his body already bearing numerous blade wounds and pierced by several arrows.

Clang—

Suddenly, a Martial Artist from the Town Demon Office threw his blade to the ground, turned around, and sighed.

"I heard there’s a shipment of fine wine at the Hu Family tavern in West Market. Old Zhao, when he was alive, loved that barely sour stuff. Who wants to go try some with me? We could also pick up a couple of jars for Old Zhao for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Where’s this strong wind coming from? It’s making it hard to see!"

"This dastardly bandit has really picked the worst time, taking advantage of the wind to escape!"

Several Martial Artists from the Baili Family nearby also set down their bows and arrows and followed the dozen or so Martial Artists from the Town Demon Office walking toward the east.

Just then, a fierce wind arose, carrying with it clouds of dust and burning paper money.

It seemed as though the heavens themselves were willing to help these weathered Martial Artists from the Town Demon Office cover their lie.

It also seemed as if everything had been meticulously arranged by fate.

Big Head Wang watched the flying dust and the burning paper money and knew it was Wei and Sister Ling who had acted.

"Wow—"

Big Head Wang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Although he had been fierce in battle against many Martial Artists, in this moment, Big Head Wang completely collapsed to the ground, appearing quite disheveled.

No... I cannot fall here...

If someone finds out I came to help Brother San, it could bring trouble to the Town Martial Office.

Just as Big Head Wang was about to hit the ground, a petite figure unexpectedly ran over and supported him.

"Is playing the hero really that great?"

Upon hearing this familiar and sweet voice, Big Head Wang couldn’t help but smile.

"Hmm... why wouldn’t it be?"
