Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 735 - 738: The Sleeping Demon

For a moment, Liu Ergou didn't know what to say.

Why the hurry to shoot? Couldn't they have waited for him to come down a bit more before firing?

But upon closer consideration, he realized that even that approach wouldn't work. The man's ability to dodge bullets proved how incredibly fast he was. Even if he were standing right in front of them, he could still sprint up the stairs in an instant. So, that plan was useless.

The only way is to take direct action and stop wasting time.

Clearly, Shi Junya had reached the same conclusion. He couldn't be bothered to waste any more words on the man, simply waving his hand at the others. Seeing the signal, the crowd immediately retreated in unison, creating a wide-open space. As they backed away, Shi Junya took a deep breath. He stopped concealing his power and, with a forceful push from his feet, instantly charged the man on the stairs.

To everyone's surprise, the man didn't seem tense at all upon seeing Shi Junya rush over. On the contrary, he had a playful smile on his face.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Fairly impressive. It's a pity, though. A mere Qi-Transforming Peak isn't quite enough to deal with me!"

As he spoke, Shi Junya was already upon him.

"Iron Mountain Lean!" Shi Junya bellowed. He raised his arm and threw his entire body forward like a mountain, slamming squarely into the man.

THUD.

The man didn't budge an inch. His expression didn't even flicker.

Standing below, Liu Ergou's brows furrowed as he watched. I recognize that move. It's from Baji Fist. The techniques of Baji Fist are known for their ferocity; a strike like the Iron Mountain Lean could smash a person's sternum to pieces. What's more, Shi Junya is at the Qi-Transforming Peak, so his strike is far more powerful than an ordinary person's. But even with all that, the man didn't retreat a single step, and his expression didn't change at all. Without a doubt, this man must be in the Houtian Realm.

He was also somewhat puzzled. Aren't Houtian Realm cultivators supposed to be extremely rare? How is it that I've only been out and about for a few days and I've already seen three or four of them? It's as if the Houtian Realm is worthless, as common as cabbages sold on the street.

While Liu Ergou was lost in thought, the man made his move. He was incredibly fast. In the moment Liu Ergou was distracted, Shi Junya was sent flying. He soared for more than a meter before crashing to the ground.

PTOO! Shi Junya coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

The man shook his head upon seeing this. "What a disappointment. I was expecting the Patrol Bureau to send someone impressive, only to find a Qi-Transforming Peak! So what if he practices Baji Fist? He's still as feeble as a willow! I can't believe I went to the trouble of finding a helper for this!"

With that, the man turned his head and shouted upstairs. "Brother Li, come on down! The people who showed up this time are nothing special, just a bunch of misfits. The strongest is merely at the Qi-Transforming Peak, nothing to worry about!"

The words had barely faded when footsteps echoed from above. A moment later, a man wearing blue pajamas, a sleeping cap, and holding a pillow ambled down the stairs.

The pajama-clad man went straight to the other man's side, then let out a big yawn.

"Ah? The strongest is only at the Huajin level?" he asked. "But what does that matter? We had an agreement. I still get paid my full share, not a penny less."

The man burst into laughter. "Brother Li, rest assured, you won't be short a single cent! It's just that there are a few too many people here for me to handle alone. I'll have to trouble you to lend a hand!"

The man in pajamas nodded. "Take the pay, solve the problem. I understand that rule, so don't worry."

As he spoke, he tossed aside the pillow he was holding, and his previously drowsy eyes instantly turned sharp and serious.

Shi Junya, who had been sent flying and was now lying on the ground, couldn't help but exclaim in shock when he saw the man in pajamas. "Sleeping Ghost Li Zixiao! Why are you here?!"

The man in pajamas—no, Li Zixiao—showed a hint of surprise on his face upon hearing Shi Junya's voice.

"Oh? Someone here actually knows me? In that case, I definitely can't let any of you leave today!"

Having said that, Li Zixiao's figure flickered. Like a ghost, he amazingly levitated and quickly floated toward Shi Junya.

Yes, he was floating. Upon seeing this, Liu Ergou was so shocked his jaw almost dropped. I've never seen anyone float before. In my mind, the only things that can float are ghosts or immortals. There's no third option.

In the blink of an eye, Li Zixiao was in front of Shi Junya. A malicious smile spread across his face as he raised his fist and, without hesitation, smashed it down toward Shi Junya's head.

No one doubted the power behind that punch. If it landed, Shi Junya was 100% finished.

Just as Li Zixiao's fist was about to connect, he suddenly tensed, retracting his fist and leaping back.

WHOOSH!

A sound cut through the air. A small hole appeared in the wall just behind where he'd been. Seeing this, Li Zixiao's expression turned ugly.

"Who dares to use a hidden weapon?!"

The man behind him sounded confused. "Huh? Brother Li, what are you talking about? What hidden weapon?"

Li Zixiao ignored him, instead looking around cautiously. "Stop hiding and come out!

"I assume you acted on behalf of this group here. If you don't show yourself, then don't blame me for what happens next!"

Standing among the crowd, Liu Ergou knew he could no longer hide. He sighed and slowly emerged from the group, coming to a stop before Li Zixiao.

When Li Zixiao saw Liu Ergou, he didn't speak at first, instead giving him a serious once-over.

Only then did he say, "I really underestimated this group. I never expected they could enlist a master like you! This is truly a surprise!"

As these words were spoken, Shi Junya, still lying on the ground, was overcome with a look of utter shock. That Loose Cultivator I looked down on... Li Zixiao just called him a master? This is unbelievable!

Who was Li Zixiao? Within the Patrol Bureau, there were three wanted levels. Li Zixiao was on the second tier, known as the Sleeping Ghost. This was because no matter when anyone saw him, Li Zixiao was always dressed in pajamas, wearing a sleep cap and holding a pillow, perpetually looking as if he hadn't quite woken up.
