In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Chapter 314 Mingchen Heads to the Southern Shaolin Temple - Dragon-Slaying Saber Technique

"The supreme martial arts weapon, the Dragon-Slaying Saber;"

His commands were law, and none dared disobey!

The Dragon-Slaying Saber, a symbol of supreme martial arts, has always been known for its domineering and arrogant nature.

The Dragon Slayer Saber is also a thick-backed, wide-bladed two-handed broadsword, weighing at least forty pounds. Not only is the weight of such a weapon difficult to wield, but it also greatly limits Ji Hao's internal strength and speed.

However, once it is unleashed, its domineering power and overwhelming ferocity are unstoppable.

"Ten thousand merits, indeed!"

In terms of the merit required for enhancement, it is clearly comparable to the Longquan Sword.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoshan liked the domineering nature of the sword, but he was not a swordsman. He preferred the spear, whose length and danger made it more dangerous and powerful enough to sweep away thousands of troops.

Therefore, even with the long sword in hand, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't feel much joy.

This is not a Longquan sword; for Zhang Xiaoshan, holding it is merely a symbol of wealth.

It's an ancient relic; who would believe that this thing could kill someone?

However, this Dragon-Slaying Saber is troublesome, but it can be used as a birthday gift for Zhang Sanfeng.

In addition, Zhang Xiaoshan also planned to retrieve some of the thousand-year-old peaches he had obtained in the valley last time. Although Huang Rong and the others did not gain much internal strength after eating them last time, they felt inexplicably light.

That's a good thing for strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing its vitality.

Especially since Zhang Sanfeng was already at the age of immortality, this thousand-year-old peach, which strengthens the body and nourishes the vital energy, is even better than the thousand-year-old vermilion fruit.

In this way, you've collected two gifts, and the remaining one is even easier to obtain.

"strengthen!"

Zhang Xiaoshan chose the enhancement option with 10,000 merit points.

The merits he had accumulated during this period had once again exceeded 200,000, so Zhang Xiaoshan didn't care at all about the consumption of 10,000 merits.

Previously, he could only accumulate 30,000 to 40,000 merits in two years, but now with the construction of the embankment of Longjiang and Longhe Rivers.

Zhang Xiaoshan earns at least 200,000 yuan in merit every year.

Moreover, his merits will continue to accumulate rapidly until the gold is used up or the dam is completed.

This is a great act of merit that benefits the country and its people, although he did not directly take action.

But the proposals and the gold were all his; he had been indirectly doing good deeds all along!

After all, there was gold involved; how could they organize such a massive dam project?

However, with so much merit he has accumulated, he now feels unsure where to put it.

Raising your cultivation level? Deducing cultivation techniques? Strengthening your equipment?

It seems that everything has been prepared beforehand. Now, we just need to wait for him to reach his bottleneck and then break through his realm with the help of merit.

As a hazy, mysterious aura entered the Dragon Slayer Blade, the blade, which had been gleaming with cold light, suddenly gained a hint of restraint and weight.

The dragon patterns on the blade are clearer, and one can faintly hear the roar of a dragon.

Blade Qi!

The Longquan Sword has a sword aura, while the Dragon-Slaying Saber is an extension of the saber's energy.

If wielded by a master swordsman, a forty-meter-long sword would be a real possibility.

Unfortunately, Yagyu Hyōshū used a Japanese samurai sword, and it was of poor quality.

"A master swordsman?"

Throughout the entire martial arts world, there are very few masters of swordsmanship.

It's not that there aren't many people who use knives; on the contrary, there are too many people who use knives, making it easy to learn but difficult to master!

Even among Zhang Xiaoshan's disciples, Liu Sheng Piaoxu and Huoyun Xieshen both used samurai swords or Tang straight swords, which Zhang Xiaoshan did not consider to be true Central Plains sword techniques.

As for the Dragon-Slaying Saber, was it a congratulatory gift for Zhang Sanfeng?

But Zhang Xiaoshan knew that the knife could never remain in Wudang; it would be a disaster.

He went to offer birthday wishes, not to cause trouble.

A top-tier swordsman who can unleash the full power of the Dragon Slayer Saber might be able to unleash its true power.

"It seems like Uncle Gui is a master with a knife!"

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes lit up. Gui Yanluo was originally the commander of the 100,000 Imperial Guards and a renowned swordsman in the capital.

However, in order to conceal his identity, he abandoned the sword and began to cultivate the Nine Yin Manual, focusing on the Heart-Shattering Palm and the Nine Yin Divine Claw.

Although Zhang Xiaoshan didn't know how much of Gui Yanluo's knife skills he still had?

But without a doubt, in Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes, Gui Yanluo was the most suitable person to wield the knife, because he was the core expert of the Zhang family's power.

Otherwise, if the Dragon-Slaying Saber falls into the wrong hands, it will lead to another round of bloodshed.

At least that's how Zhang Xiaoshan comforted himself.

After all, good things are good things, and even if he doesn't use them, he can't let outsiders benefit from them.

Dragon-Slaying Saber Technique!

In order to complement the use of the Dragon-Slaying Saber, Zhang Xiaoshan decided to go into seclusion for a period of time to create a Dragon-Slaying Saber technique.

With hundreds of martial arts styles here, plus Zhang Xiaoshan's current martial arts level, creating a Dragon-Slaying Saber Technique wouldn't be a problem.

Then, by using merit to deduce, it will become another peerless skill.

···

"Young master, news just came from Ghost Street that they've captured a kid from Evil Valley. It seems to be the same one we met at Murong Manor last time."

"That little rascal followed us here?"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked surprised, not expecting that Xiaoyuer would actually follow him to Lin'an Prefecture.

"Punish him and let him go, let him suffer a bit."

"Yes, son!"

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't take this kid seriously at all.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaoshan glanced at the little iron-eating beast beside him, which had grown at least three or four times larger in the meantime.

We have plenty of meat every day, and we've basically stopped eating bamboo. We prefer fruits with higher sugar content.

They eat a lot and grow fast, so it probably won't be long before they stop being cute.

"Ok!"

Noticing Zhang Xiaoshan's gaze, the little iron-eating beast immediately scurried over, showing great dependence on Zhang Xiaoshan.

Zhang Xiaoshan weighed the iron-eating beast in his hand and found that it had gained at least twenty or thirty pounds during this period, about one pound a day.

This is still in the juvenile stage, not the growth stage.

If it's two more years until it reaches its growth stage, it will probably grow even faster.

"for you!"

Zhang Xiaoshan handed over the half-eaten chocolate candy next to him.

Meanwhile, give the little guy a piece of his treasured dragonfish meat to supplement his nutrition, since he doesn't need these things anymore anyway.

He wanted to see just how much potential this little iron-eating beast really had.

"Master Mingchen, Xie Xun has been taken to the Southern Shaolin Temple."

If he were to convert to Buddhism, perhaps there would be a glimmer of hope; but if he remains the 'Golden-Haired Lion King,' the entire martial arts world will likely find him unacceptable.

"Amitabha!"

Upon hearing the news about Zhang Xiaoshan, Master Mingchen also chanted a Buddhist prayer.

She knew that Zhang Xiaoshan hadn't personally intervened in the massacres Xie Xun had committed back then, probably because he was worried about her.

After all, the Zhang family had absolutely no reason to keep such a formidable villain alive.

Zhang Xiaoshan especially dislikes the practice of "laying down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot," so it is extremely rare for him to persuade people to convert to Buddhism.

·········Requesting flowers·· 0

"Does the young master believe that Brother Xie has any remorse?"

"Yes, it wasn't an accident that the Zhang family found Xie Xun this time, but rather..."

He embraced Master Mingchen's slender waist from behind, and the two whispered intimately to each other, showing no regard for the tranquility of this Buddhist sanctuary.

At this time, Mingchen had already begun practicing the highest level of tantric Buddhism, the Anuttarayoga Tantra.

Tibetan Buddhism, or rather Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, does not prohibit romantic love between men and women.

On the contrary, there are many benefits to spiritual practice!

In particular, the Highest Yoga Tantra has a method of cultivating the consort, using Buddhist teachings to influence those fierce gods and demons, and to guide them to Buddhahood.

This is also why Mingchen chose to follow his heart and cultivate the Dharma.

First, the hair that can't be cut off;

Secondly, he wanted to use this practice to influence Zhang Xiaoshan to enter the Buddhist order.

"Amitabha, I never thought that Brother Xie was also a person with a tragic fate."

A person with a tragic fate?

Zhang Xiaoshan also felt that if he were to put himself in Xie Xun's shoes, he would definitely not be much better than Xie Xun.

To remain calm under such stimulation is truly cold-blooded.

0 ...... 0

But he wasn't Xie Xun; on the contrary, from an outsider's perspective, he only saw Xie Xun's sins. Therefore, regardless of his sympathy for Xie Xun, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't believe Xie Xun was innocent.

Everyone must pay the price for their actions!

Even so, Mingchen will set off for Southern Shaolin tomorrow.

"Then tonight..."

Master Mingchen rolled her eyes, but did not resist.

····

The next day, Master Mingchen left Lin'an Prefecture and headed to the Southern Shaolin Temple.

After all, Xie Xun and she were old friends, and especially given Xie Xun's current situation, there was only a glimmer of hope if he could "lay down his butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot".

Master Mingchen's purpose this time was to persuade Xie Xun to convert to Buddhism and save his life.

Undoubtedly, this is unfair to many people.

But this is the privilege of Buddhism; to put it bluntly, the Southern Shaolin Temple has the strength to back it up.

Otherwise, the mere phrase "lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha" might lead the victims' families to massacre the temple.

However, given the prestige of the Southern Shaolin Temple and the abundance of skilled practitioners within its walls, they are truly not afraid of anyone provoking them.

After all, the innocent people slaughtered by Xie Xun were not very skilled in martial arts.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be Xie Xun killing people, but rather the other party eliminating evil and protecting the righteous path. Therefore, a group of rabble would naturally not be taken seriously by Shaolin.

At least Shaolin Temple won't provoke people they can't afford to offend.

After making some preparations over the next few days, Zhang Xiaoshan also left the Zhang family.

This time, Zhang Xiaoshan did not go directly to offer birthday wishes, but instead went to Ping Mountain first to go into seclusion and create a "Dragon-Slaying Saber Technique". During this time, he would naturally use dragon slaying as practical combat experience.

There are no real dragons, but there are evil dragons!

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan asked for the sword technique that Gui Yanluo had previously practiced—the Seven Forms of Soul Severing, also known as the Seven Absolute Slashes of Heartbreak!

Based on this, we integrate various martial arts styles.

Secondly, regarding the previous discussion with the Ghost Doctor, we needed to find a large, venomous creature that could be tamed and put it into the Chaotic Demon Pool.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan's task this time is quite important.
