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

"She moved! She moved!"

Suddenly, a gasp escaped her lips, and even Princess Taiping looked at the woman inside the crystal coffin in disbelief.

This isn't a case of someone coming back to life from the dead; it's a true resurrection.

At least what Zhang Xiaoshan said before was true!

".‖ Blood!"

Extremely weak, her whispered murmur barely audible, Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly understood the woman's condition. Finally, he looked at Princess Taiping and said:

"Princess, I'll lend you five ounces of blood!"

Before Princess Taiping could agree, Zhang Xiaoshan grabbed her wrist and put her slender fingers into her mouth.

When Princess Taiping finally realized what was happening, she felt a sharp pain in her finger, and her face turned deathly pale.

All right!

Zhang Xiaoshan's words seemed to carry a demonic quality, and the woman indeed released her grip on Yao's mouth.

However, Princess Taiping was also extremely weak at this moment. In just a moment, this woman must have taken more than five ounces of blood.

The guards who witnessed this scene were also greatly shocked:

"Princess!"

"Don't worry, the princess has only lost some blood and will recover in two or three days. I will take care of her for the next couple of days!"

Zhang Xiaoshan put his arm around Princess Taiping's slender waist and held her protectively in his arms.

Then he looked at the 'Mysterious Maiden' whose complexion was beginning to improve. After sleeping for two thousand years, it was normal for her to be blood-deficient. In just a moment, she almost drained Princess Taiping's blood, which showed how terrifying she was.

"woke up?"

"Who are you? Who am I? Why are you here?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was not filled with doubt, but rather with utter shock.

Is this woman really awake, and able to speak?

This is an ancient person from two thousand years ago (good Zhao), has he really come back to life? No one would believe it if this got out.

"This is two thousand years in the future. As for your identity, you'll have to remember it yourself!"

Zhang Xiaoshan embraced the weakened Princess Taiping with one arm, while simultaneously pointing a finger at the woman's brow.

Under the force of the Pure Yang Finger, the woman let out a muffled groan, her body instinctively trying to resist.

In an instant, an extremely cold and powerful aura swept over everyone. Caught off guard, only Lei Laowu's figure swayed and returned to normal. Several top experts staggered and barely managed to avoid falling.

The others were all blasted away by this powerful aura and fell to the ground.

Great master!

With just one unintentional action, everyone stared in shock at the woman in white.

Unexpectedly, this aloof and stunningly beautiful Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden before me is actually an extremely rare Grandmaster in the martial arts world.

And this is only the beginning of its recovery.

If he were to fully recover, what level of strength would he possess?

In Zhang Xiaoshan's arms, Princess Taiping also trembled and looked at the woman in white in disbelief.

As time passed, her initial resistance gradually subsided. At this moment, as the pure Yang Qi nourished her meridians and circulated blood, the woman's power gradually recovered, and her memories slowly returned, or rather, her body returned to normal.

When she opened her beautiful, sparkling eyes again, they were filled with utter coldness and killing intent!

Chapter 443 Hydra vs. Ten-Foot Evil Dragon

"Did you disturb the Queen's rest?"

From his previous bewilderment and helplessness, which evoked pity, to his current icy and chilling demeanor, as cold as ancient ice, only Zhang Xiaoshan remained unchanged.

From the moment they stepped into this place, they were invaders. How could a king from two thousand years ago possibly have any goodwill towards them?

All Zhang Xiaoshan really wanted was information about the Queen Mother of the West.

"Indeed, we have disturbed the spirits of the dead."

However, after more than two thousand years, the world hidden behind the bronze door, which had always defied the heavens, should come to an end.

"Two thousand years?"

Upon hearing this, 'Xuan Nu' looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief.

Only Princess Taiping and others knew how awe-inspiring it would be for people from two thousand years ago to live in the present day.

If they saw it with their own eyes, they would never believe it!

"You say I've been asleep for two thousand years? Where is the Queen?"

"I don't know, I was curious too, that's why I woke you up from your ice."

"After all, two thousand years have passed. Anyone who was alive would have long since left this place, or would be sleeping somewhere here. It's impossible for someone to have been alone and lonely for two thousand years!"

"And what about the Great Zhou Empire?"

"It was already fragmented a thousand years ago. We obtained the Dragon Scale Heavenly Book, learned about this place, and came here to seek the treasures of the Queen Mother of the West."

"Your Excellency, I know your duty is to protect this place. We are not bandits; we only want the elixir of immortality and other rare treasures. They're useless to you anyway!"

Not a robber?

Not to mention that Xuan Nu looked at Zhang Xiaoshan coldly, even Princess Taiping was amazed by Zhang Xiaoshan's shamelessness.

“Your strength is considerable, but it’s only about the same as mine. Since you’re here, stay here and help me protect the King.”

"Heh, does Lady Xuan Nu intend to intervene and keep us here?"

"My Pure Yang True Qi of 307 is indeed similar to your Pure Yin True Qi realm, but that's merely the True Qi realm. Besides, how does Your Excellency know I don't have a powerful protector?"

After he finished speaking, two golden, shimmering copper and iron walls appeared beside Zhang Xiaoshan, and behind him stood a black pagoda that resembled a mountain.

The three bronze-armored warriors exuded a powerful aura, in no way inferior to Xuan Nu.

Even when facing these three monsters, Xuan Nu was extremely wary and suppressed her true qi.

Guardian Puppet!

Xuan Nu could sense that the aura emanating from these three bronze-armored corpses was almost identical to the power that kept her alive, and each of them was incredibly powerful, like three small suns that were impossible to look directly at.

Such a powerful being, a monster whose strength was no less than hers, and who had no weaknesses whatsoever.

Not to mention there are three of them, plus the even more terrifying and mysterious Zhang Xiaoshan.

Thinking of this, Xuan Nu looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and immediately understood that this was truly a case of those who came with ill intentions, for good intentions do not come.

"Besides, Lady Xuan Nu has only just recovered and has only borrowed a portion of the princess's blood. She has not yet fully recovered her peak strength, let alone be able to fight four against one!"

Zhang Xiaoshan's shamelessness caused Lei Laowu and the others to quickly retreat upon hearing that blood could restore Xuan Nu to her peak condition.

As the guardian general of the tomb, Xuan Nu cannot be persuaded with words alone.

Undoubtedly, a fight will be necessary in the end.

Once they were captured by the Mystic Maiden, knowing that not only would their blood be drained, but the Mystic Maiden's strength would also gradually return to its peak state, none of them wanted to become the unlucky ones.

"As a royal general, I will absolutely not allow you to disturb the Queen's slumber. I will rather die than let you succeed!"

"Is it?"

　(bjca) Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Xuan Nu, and the red light of the dragon pearl in his hand enveloped her, causing Xuan Nu to be struck as if by lightning.

A vast, boundless, and domineering power—the Xuan Nu sensed the pendant on her chest slowly rising. This sight made Lei Laowu instantly understand the reason behind everything.

Meteorite!

The pure Yang power of the Dragon Balls completely suppressed Xuan Nu's true Qi, sealing it within her body.

After all, when Zhang Xiaoshan treated Xuan Nu earlier, he knew she was his enemy. How could he not have left himself a backup plan in case she might try to take him down with her?

Therefore, he had secretly infused the power of the Pure Yang Dragon Pearl into the meteorite copper and refined it for his own use.

In this way, the Pure Yang Dragon Pearl and the meteorite copper interacted, and it was only a matter of a moment for the Mysterious Maiden to be subdued.

Break!

A burst of energy swept past Xuan Nu, and a jade-shaped meteorite slowly flew into Zhang Xiaoshan's hand.

"Boss Lei, keep an eye on Lady Xuan Nu. Although her power is sealed, she is still the guardian general of this place."

"Yes, son!"

Princess Taiping looked at Xuan Nu's incredulous and terrified expression and suddenly realized what was going on.

Indeed, how could Zhang Xiaoshan do something so uncertain?

The cunning and treacherous nature of the goddess was probably sealed within her long ago, but she only realized it now.

"You are mean!"

mean?

Everyone looked at the furious Xuan Nu, who had finally realized what was happening.

However, he felt that Xuan Nu was somewhat naive. After all, fighting openly and alone was something only an idiot would do.

Knowing they are enemies, how could we let them go back to the mountains?

"Sir, what should we do now?"

"Naturally, it's about opening the altar; this is the key to the altar."

Zhang Xiaoshan held the jade pendant in his hand, and everyone suddenly realized that, unlike the previous mother-and-child bronze jade pendant, this was a yin-yang jade pendant.

Yin and Yang represent male and female, without any distinction of size!

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the altar in front of him and told everyone to retreat to the edge, to be careful of traps or monsters that might suddenly appear.

He then embraced Princess Taiping, looking at the bronze jade pendant before him, which was placed at the central point of the altar.

As a mysterious force filled the altar, it transformed into a vast power that cleansed the secret chamber.

For a moment, Xuan Nu revealed a mocking expression.

As the altar slowly started to move, a stream of mercury began to slowly flow from the center of the altar, covering the entire altar's patterns. Then, the center of the altar collapsed, revealing a mercury pool with a diameter of five zhang (approximately 10 meters), from which a bronze coffin slowly emerged.

Moreover, this bronze coffin was enormous, measuring three zhang in length and two zhang in width, resembling a small palace.

The crystal coffin was enormous because it contained a liquid similar to liquid nitrogen, which could be used to achieve cryopreservation, much like modern human cryopreservation technology.

Frozen now, recovering in the future!

But the sheer size of this bronze coffin, resembling that of a solemn and imposing imperial coffin, inspires awe at its grandeur and magnificence.

"Young master, would you like to open it..."

"Be careful, there's a monster in the mercury pool. If I'm not mistaken, it's a monster similar to a bronze-armored warrior!"

what?

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's solemn warning, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Even Xuan Nu, who was prepared to watch the show, looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in surprise, not expecting that Zhang Xiaoshan could sense the danger in the mercury pool.

Could Zhang Xiaoshan be the new generation of 'Queen Mother of the West'?

This is innate talent, a divine or demonic quality that allows one to communicate with heaven and earth.

Wow!

Suddenly, the silver pool exploded, and to everyone's horror, a nine-headed giant serpent stared intently at the crowd.

Hydra?

Everyone immediately thought of the beliefs of the Queen Mother of the West's Kingdom and the carvings on the sacrificial altar; this nine-headed giant serpent actually existed.

Moreover, this hydra was much larger than the two-headed hydra from before, and its bloodthirsty and sinister eyes stared at the crowd as it flicked its tongue.

"Young master, is this real or an illusion?"

The truth was blurred, and everyone was now confused, making the situation even more fantastical than before.

"It's true, and after being strengthened by the power of the meteorite copper, this hydra can survive in the mercury pool. Its body must be as hard as diamond, and even divine weapons cannot harm it!"
