Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 200 - 194: Do you know that you broke the law?

Zhang San led a few people onward and soon caught up to a small river nearby.

Hiding in a thicket on a nearby slope by the small river, Zhang San wiped the sweat from his forehead in a pretended manner and said in a low voice, "It seems I really need to upgrade my realm as soon as possible. My Qi is almost not enough."

Zhang San’s words seemed to be talking to himself, so his voice was very soft. However, Wen Ruchu, who had just caught up, heard everything clearly.

At this moment, a triumphant smile appeared on Wen Ruchu’s face.

He had always known that if he followed Zhang San, he would find Zhang San’s weakness.

He had been curious before, how could Zhang San summon so many ghosts and monsters without any consumption?

Now it seemed that while summoning these ghosts and monsters might not require much Qi, controlling them must be constantly depleting his Qi.

After all, there was no such thing in this world as a technique that was very low in consumption and yet exceptionally effective.

If there really were such techniques, then everyone would cultivate them.

After knowing Zhang San’s weakness, Wen Ruchu thought that if he were to fight Zhang San in the future, he just needed to block Zhang San’s initial onslaught and could drag the fight until Zhang San’s Qi was almost depleted, then strike with a killer move.

Wen Ruchu was still foolishly pleased with himself, unaware that everything he was seeing was exactly what Zhang San wanted him to see.

Zhang San let everyone rest for a while, then pretended to recover his own Qi, but in fact, he was waiting for something.

Soon, a small fishing boat passed by on the river.

On the deck of the boat, an old fisherman was spreading his net to catch fish, and in the water, there were several cormorants splashing about.

Zhang San suddenly opened his eyes wide, raised his hand, and took an arrow from the Gluttonous Bag, then took out a Formation Flag and inserted it into the ground.

The Formation Flag planted in the ground unfolded, instantly creating a formation.

This formation was the very one used by the Mysterious Soldiers Sect to test arrows; Zhang San wasn’t skilled in archery, but felt he still needed long-range combat capability.

So far, he hadn’t seen any long-range methods, so he had no choice but to use these disposable Formation Flags obtained as spoils of war from the previous encounters with the Mysterious Soldiers Sect.

After he adjusted the angle properly,

Whoosh!

The arrow shot forth, heading straight for the cabin at the center of the small boat.

Ding—

With the sound of clashing metal, the arrow was blocked just before it could strike the cabin at the center of the small boat by runes from a formation that had been arranged around the boat beforehand.

Initially, no one understood why Zhang San would shoot an arrow at an innocuous small fishing boat.

But at this moment, they were all shocked.

Wen Ruchu’s eyes widened. He had also observed the small boat and even used his Observation Skill, but had not noticed anything unusual.

How had Zhang San noticed something was amiss?

The arrow, blocked by the rune in the formation, exploded continuously from back to front.

Each explosion caused a crack to appear on the rune that blocked it.

Finally, after exploding seven times, the rune completely shattered.

The next moment, following the eighth explosion, the arrow shot into the cabin.

At this point, the old fisherman, sensing danger, leaped gracefully into the water as a young man rather than an old one.

Only then did everyone realize that this was no old fisherman but clearly a young man.

And as the cabin was blasted open, a fat man, who was still eating, was revealed inside.

The fat man lifted his hand and caught the arrow.

Bang!

With the sound of an explosion, the power was limited, but it still blackened the fat man’s face.

However, even the fat man himself hadn’t noticed that, at the same moment the arrow exploded, a streak of golden light took the opportunity to drill into his body.

Zhang San knew that the cultivation technique Lv Dagen practiced was the Internal and External Bagua, which allowed Lv Dagen to constantly change his flesh and blood, thus altering his physique and even his appearance.

Zhang San had heard some female disciples of the Dragon Serpent Gang complain that every time Lv Dagen called them over, he would repeatedly look over their bodies.

At that time, Zhang San thought Lv Dagen was rather incompetent, but now it seemed that Lv Dagen was actually using this as a method to study and enhance his Internal and External Bagua.

So, he deployed the Golden Light Divine Incantation Script and fused the Golden Light Divine Incantation into the arrows, making a mark inside Lv Dagen’s body.

In this way, no matter what changes Lv Dagen made, he could always find him and even remotely position him.

Although Lv Dagen didn’t feel the entry of the golden light, he noticed someone was attempting to ambush him and looked up to see Zhang San with one glance.

Then, Lv Dagen leaped into the air and jumped into the river.

With a bang,

Zhang San frowned. This fish-blasting method would surely make the Philippine team call out to their ancestors!

Zhang San took the opportunity to sense that trace of golden light. Indeed, he could clearly feel Lv Dagen’s position underwater.

Indeed, with the Golden Light Divine Incantation Script, it was much easier for Zhang San to track down Lv Dagen.

Just at this moment, shouts came from the opposite bank of the river.

"Who’s there!?"

Zhang San frowned. Could it be that others were also targeting Lv Dagen?

Anyway, since Lv Dagen had already been marked, catching up to him was just a matter of time.

Moreover, Wen Ruchu was nearby. Capturing Lv Dagen now could inadvertently let Wen Ruchu learn certain things.

Therefore, it was better to let Lv Dagen go for now and see who these people nearby were.

At this moment, eight martial artists emerged from the opposite bank, crossing the river and rushing straight towards them.

Without any explanation, they surrounded Zhang San and the others.

After all, there were only five people in total who came out this time: four youngsters and an old servant of the Wen Family, hence they looked neither old nor strong, not seeming to possess any combat ability.

The leader among the opposite side had a scarred face and tiger-like eyes. He stared at Zhang San and his group and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Zhang San chuckled with an innocent expression, "We were just passing by and saw a small flag here. I touched it, and then the water exploded. I don’t know what happened."

The other party glanced over and indeed saw a disposable Formation Flag on the ground beside them.

"Mighty sirs, which sect do you belong to? Perhaps my family knows someone from your sect."

The other party sneered with a smug look, "Dragon Slaying Alliance, heard of it?"

Zhang San was taken aback, he genuinely didn’t know this name.

What kind of ragtag organization was this?

At that moment, Big Head Wang whispered a reminder, "Previously, twenty-four families of martial artists accepted an invitation to the Dragon Serpent Gang’s auction and then they all died. So these twenty-four families have formed an alliance with some champions of justice to seek vengeance against the Dragon Serpent Gang."

Zhang San suddenly understood and smiled, "Well, while my family doesn’t have connections with such mighty men, we were merely passing by. Please let us leave. We promise not to reveal the whereabouts of you sirs, how about it?"

The other party hadn’t thought that letting these few people go would result in the disclosure of their whereabouts.

But after Zhang San mentioned it, their expression turned cold.

"Leave? How do I know that you won’t inform the Dragon Serpent Gang? Capture them all. Once we have eradicated the Dragon Serpent Gang, then we will release them!"

Zhang San pretended to be panicked and yelled, "You... what do you want to do? You... you are restricting our personal freedom, do you know that’s illegal?"[Note 63]

========

[Note 63]Little legal factoid:

Unlawfully restraining someone’s personal freedom for more than 24 hours constitutes a crime.

If it’s not enough to constitute a crime, according to the Public Security Administration Punishment Law: those who illegally restrain others’ personal freedom, illegally intrude into others’ residence, or illegally search others’ bodies are to be detained for ten to fifteen days and may also be fined between five hundred to one thousand yuan; if the circumstances are lighter, a detention of five to ten days and a fine of two hundred to five hundred yuan may be imposed.

But if it exceeds 24 hours, that is a crime!

According to Article 238 of our country’s Criminal Law: those who illegally detain others or deprive someone of their personal freedom by other means shall be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, control, or deprivation of political rights. Those with circumstances of beating or insulting shall be punished more severely.

Hope everyone never has to use this knowledge!
