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

"Alright, Young Master Ling, let's hurry on our way, or we won't be able to catch up and we won't be able to witness a decisive battle!"

At this point, the experts who were chasing after them had been divided into three tiers, with clear distinctions in level:

At the very front are Liu Sheng Piaoxu, Xie Wang Shi Zhixuan, and Eunuch Wei!

Liu Sheng Piaoxu's Flying Floss Movement, the Evil King's Undying Seal Technique, and Eunuch Wei's Demonic Movement Technique are not only unparalleled in internal strength, but also top-tier lightness skills.

Following closely behind are Song Que, the Heavenly Blade; Li Keyong, the Prince of Jin; Zhu Yuyan, the Empress of Yin; Jiangnan Yue; the Prince of Qi; the Emperor of the Underworld; Faming; Fan Qinghui...

They were either unparalleled in martial arts or had top-notch lightness skills, but overall they were inferior to the three mentioned above.

Although Prince Li Keyong of Jin was a Grandmaster, he was in a wheelchair and his speed was not as fast as that of Tian Dao, Yin Hou, and Seng Wang.

Behind them were the top experts: the Xiao father and son, Shi Feixuan, Wanwan, the Twin Dragons... their speed varied, some faster, the fastest reaching the end of the second tier...

Finally, there is a group of top-tier masters who have neither top-level movement techniques nor top-level divine skills!

This kind of clearly defined pursuit, while not an absolute hierarchy of strength (as seen with masters like Song Que of the Heavenly Blade, Li Keyong, and Xiao Feng, who are all top-tier experts), is essentially on par.

Especially the willow catkins in everyone's eyes.

Unexpectedly, a seemingly ordinary maidservant by Zhang Xiaoshan's side possessed such high martial arts skills!

Both Eunuch Wei and the Evil King glanced at Liu Sheng Piaoxu and noticed that Liu Sheng Piaoxu's breathing was steady, without the slightest sign of rapidness, clearly indicating that she had not yet reached her limit.

For a time, the fear of willow catkins reached its peak.

You must know that Yagyu Hyouse is the sword saint of Japan, and with a demonic sword in his hand, his martial arts skills are probably even above theirs.

After all, they have the advantage in lightness skills, but Yagyu Hyōse is still a sword saint!

"arrive!"

Two quarters of an hour later, they had covered a hundred miles in half an hour.

This was not difficult for the group of experts, but it was definitely not easy either. Even the Evil King and the others were slightly out of breath.

Liu Sheng Piaoxu and Prince Jin, however, remained unfazed, their breathing still even and deep.

In an instant, Heavenly Blade Song Que, Fa Ming, the Underworld Emperor... all looked at Liu Sheng Piaoxu with apprehension.

The Prince of Jin and his allies could understand.

Although he was disabled in both legs, his internal strength was that of a grandmaster, a truly extraordinary level.

But it's different that a little girl like Liu Sheng Piaoxu can do all this.

Could it be that their internal strength is higher than theirs?

That's impossible. If someone's internal strength is higher than theirs, then they'd be a Grandmaster.

The only explanation is that the cultivation method they practice is not simple, and the martial arts they practice are all top-tier cultivation methods.

"Young lady, you possess impressive inner strength!"

Everyone glanced at Liu Sheng Piaoxu, who, besides being aloof and stunningly beautiful, also exuded a chilling aura.

They must have been like loyal followers around Zhang Xiaoshan, but they didn't know that Zhang Xiaoshan was also a womanizer, so why didn't he include Liu Sheng Piaoxu among his female relatives?

"Excellent!"

At this moment, Liu Sheng Piaoxu looked at the battlefield and saw that Zhang Xiaoshan and the Bad Commander were constantly exchanging blows.

Not only was the speed extremely fast, but the agility of the movement was like a celestial horse soaring through the sky, leaving no trace to be found. The spatial changes were also instantaneous, with many aspects that defied common sense.

In his fist and footwork, every move and style comes from a hundred schools, yet transcends them all.

It is as if it has condensed the essence of hundreds of schools of thought and integrated thousands of moves into a single punch, palm strike, and kick. It not only has the power to sweep away the universe, but also the ability to overturn the heavens and the earth!

Such a simple yet domineering martial art left everyone in awe!

Even though they had witnessed Zhang Xiaoshan and the Bad Commander unleash a barrage of powerful attacks before, the water remained turbulent. Only now did they realize just how terrifying their martial arts skills truly were.

As the two figures clashed, their power was earth-shattering and their momentum like thunderbolts, a true life-or-death struggle.

Big Demon-Suppressing Fist!

Zhang Xiaoshan used his pure Yang Qi, which was unparalleled in its power, to directly deflect the Bad Commander's palm with a single punch!

boom!

With a palm strike and a fist strike, the clashing forces surged like a tsunami, sweeping across an area of ​​hundreds of feet in an instant!

This made everyone realize the strength of these two unparalleled masters. Even grandmasters like Dongfang Bubai and Prince Li Keyong were nothing compared to them.

Moreover, this was just a physical fight, without any special moves being used.

Dragon Vein!

Suddenly, a spine slid from Zhang Xiaoshan's sleeve and fell into his hand.

Weapons were drawn, but to everyone's surprise, Zhang Xiaoshan's weapon wasn't a Longquan sword or a Dragon-Slaying Saber, but a section of his spine...

Prince Jin, Faming, and the others were all startled, for they naturally knew about this spine.

Originally, it was thought that Zhang Xiaoshan was only studying its hardness, but unexpectedly he used it as a weapon today, which made even the Bad Commander's heart freeze.

Previously, Zhang was unwilling to fight with the Bad Commander.

But having been forced into this situation, and having come today to send the Bad Commander on his way, Zhang had no choice but to bring out some of his most treasured possessions.

A hidden treasure?

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the spine in Zhang Xiaoshan's hand with surprise, somewhat puzzled as to what was so special about it.

"keel!"

Suddenly, the Bad Guy's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at that section of spine in disbelief.

He was a sorcerer, so naturally he knew what dragon bones were.

But how could it possibly appear in Zhang Xiaoshan's hands? Moreover, it is the spine of the Queen Mother of the West. How could a small country in the Western Regions, which has a long cycle, possibly have dragon bones made from it?

Even on the Kunlun Dragon Vein, the Queen Mother of the West did not possess the qualifications to forge dragon bones.

"Indeed, it is a dragon vein."

In the past, King Mu of Zhou borrowed the dragon's energy from the Zhou Dynasty and the Queen Mother of the West to achieve the elixir of immortality. Unfortunately, the Queen Mother of the West failed, and her spine became this rare dragon vein!

Dragon energy! Dragon vein!

Although no one understood what Zhang Xiaoshan and the Bad Commander were talking about, they knew that this dragon vein must be a treasure of the world.

Moreover, anything related to dragon energy or dragon veins must be a royal treasure.

I never expected that Zhang Xiaoshan would have such a good thing in his possession.

Those who knew the truth were even more bewildered!

What does it mean to be a mix of truth and falsehood, or half-truth and half-falsehood?

They were all fooled by Zhang Xiaoshan, but they were only shocked.

After all, Zhang Xiaoshan found this treasure on Kunlun Mountain. They just didn't know its true nature before, and it wasn't that Zhang Xiaoshan tricked them out of it.

Perhaps the only ones truly regretful are the Wu Tang imperial family!

"Today, I, Zhang, will use this dragon vein to send the Bad Commander on his way!"

Holding the Dragon Vein, the moment Zhang Xiaoshan swung it, a terrifying power of heaven and earth transformed into a blade that tore through space and slashed towards the Bad Commander.

Even the tyrannical commander couldn't help but change color instantly, dodging the terrifying blow.

This attack was not fatal to the Bad Commander, but the dragon vein itself possessed the power to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, something the Bad Commander had never seen before.

If Zhang Xiaoshan's primordial spirit power were added, the power would be unimaginable.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan had already closed in, holding the Dragon Vein in his hand and wielding it like a steel whip towards the Bad Commander.

There were no exquisite, elegant, or sharp sword techniques, only sweeping and slashing.

The move was extremely simple, yet when combined with Zhang Xiaoshan's powerful primordial spirit, it was the most perfect attack.

In comparison, the previously equally matched Bad Commander...

At this moment, however, he kept dodging, not daring to confront Zhang Xiaoshan head-on.

The power carried by that dragon vein, when unleashed, is an incomparably fierce force of heaven and earth, truly capable of upheaval and shattering the void.

Even if the Bad Commander had brought divine weapons, how could he possibly contend with the Dragon Vein?

The terrifying power of heaven and earth contained within the dragon vein could severely injure him with a single strike.

As for wanting to disarm someone with bare hands?

However, Zhang Xiaoshan's primordial spirit is clear and can see through any of his moves, so it can be said that the chance of him 'disarming the opponent bare-handed' is zero; he can only keep dodging.

Chapter 541 All the Trump Cards Revealed, A Power to Shake the Nine Provinces

"Dragon Veins!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan wielding the Dragon Vein and gaining the upper hand, suppressing the attacks of the Bad Marshal.

Everyone knew that the Bad Commander was likely in grave danger this time.

Originally, the two were of similar strength, but now Zhang Xiaoshan had a divine weapon in hand, giving him an advantage in attack. Moreover, there were three bronze-armored warriors beside Zhang Xiaoshan who had not yet made a move.

Furthermore, considering the various treasures the Zhang family had seen—the Longquan Sword, the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros Horn Cup, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow…

Zhang Xiaoshan's ability to spot treasures, or perhaps his reliance on Ghost Street, has allowed him to amass countless valuable items. Who knows what other trump cards he might have, or some formidable hidden weapons and divine armor?

However, compared to everyone's anxious anticipation, the Bad Marshal felt unusually heavy-hearted in the face of Zhang Xiaoshan's powerful attack.

The domineering power of the dragon vein can cause anything from broken bones to severe damage to the meridians if it comes into contact with it.

Therefore, in the midst of dodging, one's feet move in the Seven Stars formation, step on the Eight Trigrams, and traverse the entire land...

Heavenly Steps of Yu!

The Bad Guy Commander used the Yu Step, traversing the air with each step as if teleporting, each step measuring ten feet in length, his speed reaching the extreme.

It was that trick again. Everyone looked serious and focused, wanting to see how it worked.

The Tiangang Yu Step was originally a shamanistic ritual used in ancient times to worship heaven and earth, and almost every Taoist priest knew how to perform it.

But at this moment, the Bad Commander's Heavenly Gang Yu Step seemed to have stepped on a spatial node, which could not only seal off space, but also move through it, which was extremely mysterious.

Shatter the void!

The Bad Commander is using the steps of Yu to forge the Qimen Dunjia, and Zhang Xiaoshan will not sit idly by and wait for his doom.

As the primordial spirit trembled, the space within a ten-foot radius around it completely ignored the space sealed off by the Bad Marshal. Holding the Dragon Vein, it swung towards the Bad Marshal who was stepping on the Yu Step.

boom!

In the rush, the moment the Bad Commander sensed something was wrong, he already exerted all his strength to defend, pushing the Heavenly Gang Technique to its limit.

With a deafening roar, it seemed as if space itself shattered, and a dark, gloomy void suddenly appeared.

At the same time, the two figures had retreated dozens of feet away, leaving only the all-consuming Netherworld space in the middle, which vanished in an instant.

To everyone present, this scene seemed like a dream, something unbelievable!

Even Zhang Xiaoshan frowned, realizing that they wouldn't end up breaking through the void together during the fight.

In this way, he would suffer a huge loss.

"Shattered space? You've already broken through to that level!"

"Not bad!"

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded without hiding his identity, leaving the group of experts from the capital city even more dumbfounded.

If it weren't for that fleeting glimpse of the dark void, they would have thought they were hallucinating. But they knew that Zhang Xiaoshan had truly broken through to such a profound realm.

Moreover, he is even more direct and domineering than the Bad Marshal, and the time it took for him to break through should not be short. Last time, Zhang Xiaoshan was completely hiding his true strength.

After all, Zhang Xiaoshan had been dozing off for a while.

However, considering Zhang Xiaoshan's strength, the injury to his primordial spirit last time was probably fake.

Thinking of the two old silver coins, everyone immediately realized that Emperor Wu had provoked the wrong opponent, and that scheming against the Zhang family was a mistake in itself.

"Truly a genius!"

The Bad Commander looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, who needed to use the Yu Step to reach the realm of shattering space.
