143: Chapter 142: I’ll Treat You Both to Nine Turns Intestines 143: Chapter 142: I’ll Treat You Both to Nine Turns Intestines The feeling of killing soone is very unpleasant.
Especially for a modern person.
Although Zhang San firmly believed that the amount of at he consud before his transmigration far exceeded the average consumption of the inhabitants of this world, all that at had been processed through multiple stages and presented to him ready to eat.
Except for occasionally seeing raw at at a buffet, he hardly ever saw it, let alone the process of slaughtering animals.
Just the sight of slaughtering animals was enough to deter the vast majority of modern people, not to ntion killing soone who looks just like you.
Therefore, Zhang San always felt that the sensation of killing soone was extrely distressing.
But what’s worse, in this world, whether as a martial artist of the Town Martial Office or a demon cult follower of the Heavenly Punishnt Sect, it’s impossible not to kill.
You can pride yourself on being civilized, but you may not think civilization is so important anymore when you are about to die.
Just like when he chatted with Pharaoh initially, Zhang San always felt his theories were more advanced, more civilized; yet the truth proved that the only reason he was exonerated and even rewarded in the end was because of the hierarchical class system of this world and the laws that were not equal for everyone.
Ideals are indeed beautiful, but if one completely disregards the basis of reality, everything is but a castle in the air, ethereal and delicate, ready to collapse at the slightest touch.
Therefore, Zhang San realized that he had to gradually accept the act of killing.
This is also why Zhang San said they should split up but insisted that he be the one to kill.
However, Zhang San didn’t expect that as he charged forward, he would discover three more martial artists behind those two n.
Originally thinking of killing one and sparing one, it now seed that at least three had to die.
In the brief mont of combat, Zhang San directly used his refined Qi combined with the Xun Wind Breathing Technique’s blade techniques and Blade Intent, killing the three martial artists instantly and severely wounding the remaining two.
After all, these n were different from Fang Cunzai; with Fang, there was room for holding back and gradually improving his own combat abilities, but with enemies like these, it’s better to end them with a single blow.
The two remaining n lay on the ground, clutching their wounds and spitting blood profusely.
Zhang San also tossed a bottle of healing dicine, indicating the woman to apply it to herself and her child.
Since she was not a beauty, there was no need for him to apply the dicine personally.
At this mont, Zhang San still felt a bit nauseous from the killing he had just done, but he knew he had to overco it.
So, Zhang San dragged the two martial artists to where the other three bodies lay and sat on the ground.
Looking at the still-warm corpses, he asked fiercely, “Who are you two?
Daring to kill in broad daylight?”
However, despite being prisoners now, the arrogance on their faces was even more pronounced than that of an Execution Supervisor.
“This is a matter for the Pure Stream Sword Sect; it’s none of your business!”
“And besides, you’ve killed our n, you’re done for!
Hahaha…”
At that mont, the woman applying dicine to her child roared out, “They are not from the Pure Stream Sword Sect; they are people from the Book and Sword Hall!”
The two n in front of Zhang San retorted arrogantly, “The Book and Sword Hall has always been part of the Pure Stream Sword Sect, it’s just returned to us now!”
Zhang San was aware of the Pure Stream Sword Sect, but he really didn’t know what the Book and Sword Hall was all about.
At this ti, Fang Cunzai ca over and said, “About the matter between the Pure Stream Sword Sect and the Book and Sword Hall, I know…
they originally…”
Zhang San raised his hand and stopped Fang Cunzai.
“No need to say it, I want to hear them speak.”
The arrogance of these two n greatly displeased Zhang San.
At the sa ti, Zhang San also wanted to overco his fear, so he stood up, brandishing Horizontal Blade to cut open the bellies of three nearby corpses, and then pulled sothing out from inside.
He then used Wood Series Spell to grow nurous vines from the grass beside the official road, which transford into more than a dozen large hands that held the two n down firmly, tilting their heads back, and wrenching their mouths open.
“Old Fang, help keep watch, don’t scare the won and children.”
Fang Cunzai helplessly led the won and children away to a distance.
anwhile, Zhang San, holding the indescribably thing that was segnted and dripping bright red, looked toward the two martial artists, whose eyes were filled with terror, and smiled faintly.
“You see, I’ve always been one to repay grievances with virtue.
Although you’re unwilling to answer my questions, I won’t torture you.
On the contrary, I’ll treat you to so delicious food.”
“Have you ever heard of a dish called ‘Nine Turns Intestine’?”
“It doesn’t matter if you haven’t.
I’ve only heard about it myself, and I’m not exactly sure how to cook it either.
But I think since it’s made with intestines, it surely needs to retain the fresh taste and flavor of intestines.
Otherwise, how would the eater know they’re consuming intestines, right?”
As he spoke, Zhang San approached the two, the bright red of the intestines in his hand dripping steadily, falling on the faces of the two n, who trembled violently with mouths agape due to the vines.
“But I only have one intestine, so we have a problem.
How about this?
Neither of your mouths stays idle—one of you spills the information I want, and the other takes care of eating.
How does that sound?”
The two scared witless n instantly understood and began to scramble in confessing.
In no ti at all, Zhang San comprehended what had recently happened at Pure Stream Sword Sect.
Pure Stream Sword Sect once had an internal organization called Book and Sword Hall.
It sounded like a refined na, but in reality, it was an organization of assassins, accepting employnts to carry out assassinations for commissions.
It was even the Sect’s main fighting force.
But with the establishnt of the Town Martial Office, naturally, such organizations weren’t permitted to exist.
Furthermore, with the Town Martial Office’s suppression over various martial factions, nobody dared to cause trouble, leading to a long period where Book and Sword Hall had little business.
However, the Sect still had to provide for so many people.
Therefore, Book and Sword Hall had no choice but to secretly stir up trouble and then find a way to take on commissions.
This led to the murder of the Pure Stream Sword Sect’s penultimate Sect Master by Heavenly Punishnt Sect.
Following this, the previous Sect Master Kong Wenzai assud the position and expelled Book and Sword Hall.
And now, with Kong Wenzai dead and Book and Sword Hall struggling outside, they naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to return and take over the position of Sect Master.
As a result, in recent tis, Book and Sword Hall basically controlled the entire inner workings of Pure Stream Sword Sect; those who opposed were captured, and their family mbers were also held.
The woman and children who had been chased earlier were the family of an Elder from Pure Stream Sword Sect.
Upon learning all this, Zhang San turned his gaze towards Fang Cunzai.
After all, although he wanted to go, such matters should still be discussed with his superior—if he went alone and sothing went wrong, who would take the bla?
