This Martial Saint’s Health Bar is Too Thick!

Chapter 107: Chapter 97: Ascending the Tower Alone

Yang Xuan turned his head in confusion and said,

“But if the Green-faced Ghost really does make a move today, it would prove that he is an irrational lunatic. Would such a person even care about those things?”

To knowingly leap into a trap, if not a madman, what is he?

But Zhang Mingze shook his head,

“No, during my time in prison, I have been repeatedly analyzing the actions of the Green-faced Ghost and I’ve come to a conclusion: the Green-faced Ghost may indeed be a madman, but he is also a very calm, very cautious madman.”

Calm, cautious—adding ‘madman’ after these words puzzled Yang Xuan.

“The ‘madness’ of the Green-faced Ghost is reflected in his choices, which are free of mundane considerations of pros and cons, with all decisions following only his own will. Such a person tends to be very pure and likely to go to extremes. Yet the Green-faced Ghost is incredibly calm and cautious in his actions.”

Zhang Mingze patiently explained,

“I have seen the investigation results of the Inspection Bureau, indicating that he is experienced, meticulous, and very familiar with the court’s methods of solving cases. This means that before he acted, he had made ample preparation, not deciding to strike in blind impulse.

His second attack was timed extremely well, just after the joint operations of the three courts had ended. At that time, the fake Green-faced Ghost had been caught, people had let their guard down, and security at various posts was also lax. Moreover, he killed seven people in one go because he knew that after this ‘window of opportunity’ it would be much harder for him to kill again, so he took enough lives in one fell swoop!

What’s more, the crimes of those seven officials from the Court of Judicial Review were detailed by him. Have you considered how he came to know all this? Either he has an informant in the Inspection Bureau or the Court of Judicial Review, and at a high level, or he spent a long time conducting a detailed investigation beforehand.

Either outcome shows he waits with deliberate plans, possessing his own logic in thinking, rather than being merely a bloodthirsty assassin, acting just to vent his emotions.”

Yang Xuan mused, “When you put it like that, it does seem to be the case.”

Zhang Mingze smiled, “Do you know how the Green-faced Ghost first escaped the searching magic of the Righteous Court?”

Yang Xuan shook his head.

“He used the blood of a chicken’s comb.”

“I see, so he is indeed an expert.”

“Do you know how he escaped after killing those seven officials from the Court of Judicial Review?”

“It must have been with the blood of a chicken’s comb again, right?”

“Heh, yes, still with the blood of a chicken’s comb.”

Zhang Mingze laughed.

“This, is there something wrong with that?”

Yang Xuan asked somewhat uncertainly.

In terms of martial arts, he could now take on ten Masters single-handedly.

But when it comes to brains…

Zhang Mingze did not beat around the bush, but said directly,

“After the Green-faced Ghost’s first move, all the places in the city that sold live chickens were being watched. If he dared to buy a second time, he would certainly be discovered.”

“Ah?”

Yang Xuan suddenly realized, “Are you suggesting that before the Green-faced Ghost first acted, he had already purchased enough live chickens in advance and had been secretly raising them somewhere?”

Zhang Mingze nodded,

“Yes, before he made his first move, he had calculated that there might be a second and third time, so he prepared everything in advance. Such a person, who thinks ten steps ahead, do you still think he is not cautious enough?”

“This…”

“Let me tell you something else.”

Zhang Mingze was particularly talkative today and continued,

“The seven officials from the Court of Judicial Review each had their own Martial Artist guards. After killing these guards, the Green-faced Ghost didn’t destroy the wounds on their bodies, but deliberately preserved the severity of their injuries.”

“Isn’t that just to prove that he is the real Green-faced Ghost?”

“Indeed it is, but the wound on Zong Guang’s body was deliberately made worse, as was the injury on the guard of Feng Zhenshan. This indicates that the Green-faced Ghost must have an even stronger card up his sleeve, a method more powerful than the vile Innate Qi that wounded me!”

At this point, Zhang Mingze’s eyes revealed a murderous intent.

He had already come to terms with the loss of his martial arts.

Although he always appeared nonchalant about it in public, acting as if it didn’t matter.

But could he really not care?

If it were not for his deep-seated hatred towards the Green-faced Ghost and his determination to kill him, why would Zhang Mingze willingly take any risk, purposefully leaving flaws to lure the Green-faced Ghost to attempt to kill him?

After listening to Zhang Mingze’s analysis, Yang Xuan gradually began to see the calmness and meticulousness that lay beneath the seemingly crazy mask of the Green-faced Ghost.

To think of holding back a trump card even when assassinating an important figure like the Tiger Saber Gang Master, just for the sake of better dealing with the other members of the Tiger Saber Gang later.

How cautious must this person be?

In fact, had it not been for the oversight regarding the special nature of Zhang Mingze’s Implant and Doctor Huang’s exquisite medical skills, the first assassination attempt would have already been successful.

Yang Xuan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Such calmness, caution, and meticulous thought, combined in a ‘madman’—it was truly frightening!

“Will he come today? If he really does, has he already planned everything out and made all the preparations?”

Yang Xuan looked out the window, feeling an unusual sense of nervousness.

Xinnan Street.

Here there is a Bell Tower that rings the large bell at the top of the tower every day at 8 a.m., 12 p.m., and 6 p.m.
