Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

Zhang Wuji glanced at the lifeless Yuanzhen on the ground, his heart unmoved. Although he didn't know who this guy was, since Zhang Shan had killed him without hesitation, this person must be no good.

As they passed by Cheng Kun, Zhang Shan hesitated for a moment and said to Zhang Wuji, "Wuji, take the map and lead Zhu'er out first. I'll bury this evil monk."

"Let me help!" Zhang Wuji said.

"No need, I can handle it myself. You guys go out now. Since this evil monk has entered the forbidden area, someone else might come in later. You guys keep watch outside so I can destroy the evidence!" Zhang Shan waved his hand and said.

Zhang Wuji had no choice but to nod, and left with the map and Zhu'er.

After Zhang Wuji and the other man left, Zhang Shan dragged Cheng Kun's corpse to a large pit, threw him into the pit, picked up a few large stones, and used his internal energy to throw them out.

Boom boom boom!

Looking at his masterpiece, Zhang Shan nodded in satisfaction.

“There are too many strange kung fu techniques in this world. He’s really worried that you’re not dead!” Zhang Shan said, turning around and walking quickly toward the cave entrance without looking at the mess that was already covered by rocks.

Once outside, the sunlight made Zhang Shan squint. After a few seconds of adjustment, he said to Zhang Wuji and Zhu'er, "Let's go find the people from the imperial court!"

"The imperial court?" Zhang Wuji asked, puzzled. Zhu'er also asked, confused, "Yes, shouldn't we be supporting the six major sects in attacking Bright Peak? Why would we need to contact the imperial court?"

“I found a token of the imperial court on that bald monk. Given that he came to the forbidden area, I suspect that he is actually a lackey of the imperial court. I even suspect that the siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects was also part of the imperial court’s plan to wipe us out in one fell swoop!”

Chapter 330 Charge

Zhang Shan spoke with such conviction that Zhu'er and Zhang Wuji, after some thought, also found it to be reasonable. After all, throughout history, the imperial court had always wanted to eliminate such unstable elements as martial arts practitioners.

"What are we supposed to do?" Zhang Wuji asked.

"Find the people in the imperial court, arrest them, and resolve this internal strife!" Zhang Shan said.

~

Two figures moved freely between the cliffs as if walking on flat ground. Zhang Shan walked in front, while Zhang Wuji carried a pretty young woman on his back behind him.

Before setting off, Zhang Shan told Zhang Wuji the method for treating Zhu'er. With Zhang Wuji's medical skills, which were among the best in the world, the swelling on Zhu'er's face was quickly cured. There were still some traces left, but in two more days, there would be no traces left at all.

"Brother, there must be a lot of people from the imperial court. Can the three of us handle them?" Zhang Wuji asked worriedly.

“I’ve thought about this too, but the court’s intention this time is to make us kill each other, so they probably won’t bring too many people. Otherwise, we would have discovered them long ago,” Zhang Shan said.

Zhang Wuji nodded; Zhang Shan's words made some sense.

"Don't worry, the two of us joining forces will head straight for the top figures in the court. Who in this world can stop us?"

Both of them had cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Great Shift of the Universe. One was the most advanced internal energy cultivation method in the world, and the other was a top-grade method that surpassed the Yi Jin Jing. With Zhang Shan's martial arts skills, he was confident that he could exchange a few blows with Zhang Sanfeng, let alone capture a little Zhao Min!

"Unfortunately, it seems that my great-grandfather has already transformed his internal energy into true qi, which is no longer the same as what we cultivate," Zhang Shan thought to himself.

The two moved very quickly and arrived at the high ground in a short time. After surveying the area, they saw the six major sects fighting fiercely with the Ming Cult, as well as some smaller sects or gangs that had come to their aid. The scene of the battlefield was so tragic that it was unbearable to look at.

Even though Zhu'er had been used to seeing dead people since she was a child, she still felt her forehead twitch and she couldn't bear to see this battlefield with thousands of people.

This was also the first time Zhang Shan had witnessed a battle involving thousands of people from an observer's perspective. The sounds of fighting and screams clearly reached his ears, a completely different experience from being in the thick of it.

"When I was on the battlefield, all I wanted to do was kill all the enemies around me, but standing outside the battlefield and seeing people killing each other, missing limbs, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them..."

Shaking his head, Zhang Shan quickly left. He needed to find someone from the imperial court, capture Zhao Min, and stop them from continuing the fight.

Zhang Wuji followed. Although the path on the mountaintop was still difficult, it was much better than the one on the cliff. Zhu'er no longer asked Zhang Wuji to carry her. Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Wuji found a sharp rock, shaved his beard, and tidied up his appearance.

The burly, bearded man had transformed into a handsome and dashing young man. Zhang Shan traversed several sand dunes but still couldn't find any trace of the imperial court. He frowned and said, "It seems they are very cautious. They will probably only show themselves when we are both severely injured."

"But how will they know when we'll both be severely injured?" Spider asked.

Zhang Shan said, "I'm afraid they've arranged for that monk to keep an eye on us."

Spider suddenly realized, and then said, "Now that we've killed the monk, if they don't get the news, won't they just keep waiting and not come?"

"No," Zhang Shan said. "This is a golden opportunity. Whether or not we get news from the monk, they will come to gather intelligence, and they might even spare no expense to send troops to annihilate us!"

"Come with me to the Six Major Sects. We'll work together to take down Bright Peak with minimal losses. Then, even if the imperial court tries to seize the spoils, we'll have more strength to deal with it."

The three returned to the place where a thousand people had fought before. There were also casualties among the six major sects, but most of them were from Huashan, Kongtong, and Kunlun. Emei and Wudang suffered almost no losses. Although they were fewer in number, they all had their own formations and tactics. They covered each other and were able to minimize their losses even in such a chaotic battle.

Zhang Shan and his two companions descended from the sky using their lightness skills. Zhang Shan unleashed several punches, and the internal force he released struck the ground, causing a violent explosion!

boom!

"what!"

Several unlucky guys were blasted away by the impact of the internal force cannonball, letting out a scream before falling silent.

Zhang Shan and his two companions landed on the ground, right next to the Wudang group. Song Yuanqiao shouted, "Shan'er! You're finally back!"

"Yes, Master Uncle, you all follow me and together we'll crush the Demonic Sect!"

"it is good!"

Song Yuanqiao trusted Zhang Shan completely, and without even asking where he had been or what was going on with A Niu, he shouted to his fellow disciples behind him, "Prepare to break through with Shan'er!"

"Yes!" the crowd behind him replied in unison, their voices full of energy, as if they had not experienced a long battle.

Zhang Shan threw a punch, instantly clearing a large area in front of him. He checked his internal energy level; the punch had consumed some of it, but he had completely recovered in an instant.

"With the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Great Shift of the Universe, my internal energy is almost inexhaustible. In the future, I will never have to worry about running out of energy when fighting with others."

Zhang Shan led the way, followed by nearly thirty Wudang disciples, with the super master Zhang Wuji guarding him on the side. They were like a sharp blade, cutting a gap in the melee of a thousand people and killing their way out!

Seeing the situation at Wudang, Abbess Miejue from the Emei and other five major sects laughed and said, "Wudang has a worthy successor."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Zhiruo, who was fighting fiercely beside him, and shouted to the Emei disciples, "Kill! Follow in the footsteps of the Wudang disciples!"

"Yes, Master!" the Emei disciples responded in unison.

Before Zhang Shan's eyes, people dressed in red, white, and gold were constantly being sent flying by him. He threw countless punches, and his gray clothes were soaked with blood, with other people's blood dripping from his body.

Zhang Shan didn't feel tired, but his eyes were a little dry from killing so many people.

boom!

With another punch, he blasted away several people in front of him with his internal force, revealing a clear path.

"Phew~" Zhang Shan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "It's finally over."

Behind him, Zhang Wuji also let out a deep breath. At this moment, Zhang Wuji suddenly remembered the feeling when he used to roam the martial arts world: cautious and prudent, yet decisive in killing!

Don't let Zhang Wuji's current saintly kindness fool you; back in his days wandering the martial world, he was quite a ruthless character. Otherwise, Zhu'er wouldn't have been attracted to him and hadn't forgotten him all these years.

That's actually quite good. Compared to being indecisive, being decisive occasionally is much more appealing.

The Wudang group found a safe place to recuperate. Breaking through the encirclement directly had taken a heavy toll on them, so they took the opportunity to recover and prepare for the battle to come.

The Ming Cult members dared not disturb them, because Zhang Shan was sitting in front of them, the blood on his clothes still wet, like a god of death who had come out of hell!

At this moment, after arranging things for his junior brothers and disciples, Song Yuanqiao came to Zhang Wuji's side, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Are you... Wuji?"

Looking at Zhang Wuji's face, which seemed so familiar, and considering Zhang Shan's attitude towards Zeng Aniu, Song Yuanqiao had already made some guesses. Now, seeing Zhang Wuji's face, he was even more certain of Zhang Wuji's identity.

Zhang Wuji no longer concealed his intentions. He cupped his hands in greeting to Song Yuanqiao and knelt down, saying, "This unfilial disciple, Zhang Wuji, pays respects to Senior Uncle Song!"

Upon receiving Zhang Wuji's reply, tears welled up in Song Yuanqiao's eyes. He quickly bent down, pulled Zhang Wuji up with both hands, and explained the matter to his fellow disciples.

After a tearful family reunion, Song Yuanqiao approached Zhang Shan and feigned anger, saying, "Shan'er, since you knew Wuji's identity all along, why didn't you tell us? We've been kept in the dark until now!"

Zhang Shan laughed and said, "I just want to see when you guys will be able to recognize Wuji!"

Seeing that he probably thought they were laughing at him, Mo Shenggu laughed and scolded, "You little brat, now you're making fun of us elders! Just wait until we get back, I'll teach you a lesson!"

As the group chatted and laughed, a figure sped towards them from afar!

"The White-Browed Eagle King of the Ming Cult has come to challenge me!"

The newcomer had white hair and temples, and his hands were somewhat withered and thin, yet they gave off a sharp feeling!

"It's the White-browed Eagle King!" Song Yuanqiao frowned and was about to draw his long sword when he saw Zhang Shan rush forward even faster and say to Song Yuanqiao, "Uncle-Master, I'll leave the rest of the Ming Cult's higher-ups to you. I'm going to have some fun with the White-browed Eagle King!"

Song Yuanqiao then noticed that not only the White-browed Eagle King had arrived, but also many other people behind him.

These are the Five Wanderers of the Ming Cult, the Green-Winged Bat King, Yang Xiao, and others.

To be honest, it was a bit unfair for Zhang Shan to face off against Yin Tianzheng, the White-browed Eagle King.

Yin Tianzheng is quite strong. In a one-on-one fight, among the six major sects, only Song Yuanqiao could probably fight him to a draw.

Don't be fooled by Abbess Miejue's possession of the Heaven-Slaying Sword; that's all she has. In terms of strength, she's probably only at the level of Mo Shenggu.

Zhang Shan threw a punch that looked ordinary, but his fist was wrapped in a layer of internal force, and the power contained in this punch was no less than a thousand catties!

Yin Tianzheng learned of Zhang Shan's strength from Wei Yixiao and did not underestimate him at all. He tilted his body to dodge the punch, and at the same time, he formed claws with both hands and grabbed at Zhang Shan's outstretched arm!

These claws can easily tear through rocks. Even though Zhang Shan has mastered great skills, he is still a mortal. If he were to be scratched a few times, his arm would definitely have several bloody holes!

So the instant Yin Tianzheng grabbed with both hands, Zhang Shan swiftly extended his other hand, following Yin Tianzheng's hand to his arm, and in an instant pressed it against his chest!

"So fast!" Yin Tianzheng didn't have time to stop. Zhang Shan was much faster than him. He could only watch helplessly as the hand was pressed against his chest. The next moment, Zhang Shan exerted force and pushed Yin Tianzheng away, saying, "Step back. Next time, I won't hold back!"

Yin Tian's face turned pale, but he knew Zhang Shan was right. In just one round, he had seen the difference in strength between the two. His only hope of winning was to use his Eagle Claw Kung Fu to tear Zhang Shan's throat apart instantly; otherwise, he had no chance of winning.

But is that even possible? That close-quarters encounter was his best chance, and Zhang Shan himself gave it to him. Even after Zhang Shan had made a move, he was still caught off guard and easily defeated...

Shaking his head, Yin Tianzheng clasped his hands and said, "The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, and new talents emerge in every generation. I am getting old after all."

His decisive surrender was due to Zhang Shan's earlier restraint.

I could kill you, but I let you go. That's already giving him a lot of face. If I were to shamelessly go up and fight him, I would really lose face.

Moreover, he learned from Wei Yixiao that Zhang Shan's ultimate goal was not to destroy the Ming Cult, so he had no intention of fighting him to the death.

Simply put, the martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing; interpersonal relationships are also very important.

After dismissing Zhang Wuji's maternal grandfather, Zhang Shan went up and exchanged a few more blows with Yang Xiao. Soon, Yang Xiao realized that Zhang Shan's kung fu was far superior to his own, so he stopped fighting Zhang Shan one-on-one and shouted to the Five Wanderers, "You guys, come and help me!"

However, the Five Wanderers were trapped by the Seven Heroes of Wudang and were locked in a fierce battle. The others were also surrounded by Wudang disciples with a sword formation and could not get through for the time being.

Even Yin Tianzheng's son is trapped inside, and he probably won't be able to get out anytime soon.

"Wudang truly lives up to its reputation as Zhang Zhenren's sect; with the strength of a single sect, they've managed to hold back the high-ranking members of our Ming Cult!"

Seeing that the Emei Sect had also broken through the blockade of the Five Elements Flag and the Eagle Sect, Yang Xiao knew that the Ming Cult's defeat was inevitable. He immediately took a step back, distanced himself from Zhang Shan, and came to stand next to Yin Tianzheng.

When Abbess Miejue arrived and saw that Zhang Shan had not wiped out all the demonic cult members, her opinion of him lowered, thinking that the young man was too soft-hearted.

He immediately drew his Heaven-Slaying Sword and launched an attack on Yin Tianzheng.

Yin Tianzheng was convinced by Zhang Shan, but what did that have to do with Abbess Miejue? He didn't tolerate her either, and the two immediately started fighting!
