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

But Zhang Xiaoshan was able to break through space directly, which was simpler than his method.

In terms of artistic level, she is clearly already above him.

Although it is only in terms of realm, it has already reached a realm that is unprecedented and unparalleled throughout history.

With the dragon vein in hand, the Bad Commander suddenly felt the urge to retreat.

However, before he could think about how to leave, a chill suddenly appeared behind him, and the Bad Commander quickly leaped away.

Meanwhile, in the air, a golden-armored figure was waiting for him, and a palm descended upon him.

Bang!

With a single palm strike, the Bad Commander was struck as if by lightning, and was knocked down into the air.

hum!

Fire spreads across the land!

The Black-Armored Demon God thrust his palms horizontally, unleashing a devastating force of heavenly fire. Even the Bad Commander was startled and leaped into the air, shifting ten feet to avoid the Black-Armored Demon God's heavenly fire calamity.

However, after landing, the Bad Commander was suddenly attacked by four figures at the same time.

From all directions, every single one of them possessed formidable strength, no less than his.

Just when everyone thought that the Bad Marshal was doomed, a powerful and incomparable innate aura emanated from his body, blocking the attack of Zhang Xiaoshan and the three bronze-armored warriors from a distance of one foot.

Innate Qi!

The protective aura of top-tier masters, especially Taoist aura, can be called innate aura!

However, this innate protective energy is not the same as the other innate protective energy; it is a method of protective energy from the highest level of Taoist science.

The Bad Commander is a supreme sage of Taoism, and the Heavenly Gang Technique itself is an unparalleled Taoist art—evolved from innate Qi.

With the Taoist wisdom of the Bad Leader, and based on innate Qi, he created the Heavenly Gang Technique!

After mastering the Great Perfection, the Heavenly Gang Technique can also be used to upgrade the Innate Gang Qi.

However, before that, no one in the entire Nine Provinces could force him to use innate qi for defense.

Yuan Tiangang had cultivated his innate qi for countless years, and his protective qi was so strong that even the domineering attacks from Zhang Xiaoshan and the three bronze-armored warriors could only stop a foot away from him.

At this moment, the experts who were watching were also extremely shocked.

The successive attacks by the bronze-armored warriors were actually within their expectations.

After all, the bronze-armored warriors were part of Zhang Xiaoshan's strength and his personal guards.

However, they did not expect that the copper-armored warrior was so powerful. He only used one palm to repel the Bad Commander. Although he had the advantage of airspace, his palm power was at least no less than that of the Bad Commander!

Moreover, Ghost Three's invincible golden body and the Black Armor Demon God's world-destroying heavenly fire possess divine might comparable to ghosts and gods.

However, the methods employed by the Bad Commander in the end also shocked them greatly.

The fact that he could withstand the combined attack of four masters of the same realm with only his Taoist innate qi demonstrates just how profound his innate qi was.

"What a magnificent innate qi!"

Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes gleamed as he withdrew the dragon vein.

Although the dragon vein could break through defenses, Zhang Xiaoshan still wanted to defeat the Bad Commander with his true strength.

He knew that even with his innate qi, the Bad Commander could not escape its limitations, and that the qi backlash attack would be almost useless against Zhang Xiaoshan!

"You're so arrogant!"

When the Bad Commander saw the dragon vein disappear from his hand, he understood Zhang Xiaoshan's purpose.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan was so arrogant, wanting to break through his hundreds of years of innate qi with his own martial arts.

This is undoubtedly a futile attempt to fight a losing battle!

Even the crowd was shaken.

Zhang Xiaoshan's decision to abandon the advantages of the dragon vein was, in their view, completely unwise.

After all, the innate qi of the Bad Commander could block the attacks of Zhang Xiaoshan and the three bronze-armored warriors, which shows how powerful and terrifying it was.

How could Zhang Xiaoshan alone possibly break through the protective aura of the Bad Commander?

"You'll know once you try it, senior!"

Zhang Xiaoshan clenched his fist, and a terrifying, heavy, and domineering aura slowly rose from his body.

Seeing the solemn expression on the Bad Commander's face, Zhang Xiaoshan did not hesitate at all. The blood and qi of the Nine Cauldrons Divine Art suddenly burst out to the extreme, like the roar of a divine dragon. A crimson dragon shadow burst out of his body along with the burst of blood and qi.

Such a strange phenomenon even startled the Bad Commander.

The dragon's saliva mixed with the incomparably powerful pure yang energy and blood, and a vast and magnificent force was added to his body.

A mighty steed that governs the entire land!

In an instant, everyone seemed to see a golden, majestic, and heavy cauldron, emitting a thunderous roar that suppressed the heavens and earth.

The force of that punch was as powerful as the ancient demon god's shattering of Buzhou Mountain, carrying the unparalleled power to break through the void and the domineering force to suppress mountains and rivers, instantly shattering the indestructible defense of the innate qi.

boom!

This punch was simple and direct, without any fancy moves.

But with the overwhelming power to dominate the nine provinces, space seemed to freeze. Even the Bad Commander felt that no matter how he dodged, he could not avoid the earth-shattering punch.

His immense and unparalleled innate inner strength was shattered instantly by the overwhelming force of this punch, a force that seemed to defy all laws.

puff!

The unparalleled power of that punch struck the Bad Commander squarely in the chest, blood staining his black clothes.

The domineering divine power contained in this punch, while not fatal to the Bad Commander, severely damaged his heart meridian.

"Excellent boxing skills! You've been hiding them all along!"

The sheer power and domineering force of that punch made the Bad Commander realize that this was Zhang Xiaoshan's true trump card.

Moreover, even though the Bad Commander was well-informed, he had never heard of a fist technique that could break through his innate qi.

Especially its imposing and domineering aura, and the powerful blood energy with its dragon shadow appearing and disappearing, it is probably no more than the nine blood refinements of Chiyou Village.

"Isn't the Bad Leader the same?"

To put it more tactfully, it's just that no one can force us to use our trump cards!

Everyone felt uncomfortable upon hearing this.

But they had to admit that what Zhang Xiaoshan said was absolutely correct.

Not to mention that nameless punch, Zhang Xiaoshan's Heavenly Blade and Sword Prison alone were already invincible throughout the Central Plains.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan's hidden primordial spirit sword strike shattered the void, making it an invincible punch!

"Rest in peace, Marshal!"

With his innate protective energy broken, the Bad Commander had no last trump card left.

Moreover, besides Zhang Xiaoshan, there are three other bronze-armored warriors, each whose strength is not much less than his. Besides, the Bad Commander has already suffered a heart injury, which, while not fatal, has greatly reduced his strength.

Heavenly Fire Annihilation - Crimson Flame Divine Palm!

The Black-Armored Demon God sent the Bad Commander to his death.

After all, the domineering nature of the Heavenly Fire could kill the Bad Commander directly without leaving any trace, making it impossible for him to fake his death.

boom!

With a single palm strike piercing through the heart of the Bad Commander, no one expected him to leave in such a way.

Under the raging flames, the figure of the Bad Commander was completely reduced to ashes and disappeared in less than three seconds.

On the battlefield, only one proud, unfathomable figure stood there!

Chapter 542 'Respectfully Sending Off the Bad Commander'

"Respectfully seeing off the Bad Commander!"

Apart from a few slow-witted novices, most of the experts from the Wu Tang Empire bowed respectfully towards the place where the flames had dissipated.

On the surface, Zhang Xiaoshan's victory in this battle was somewhat unfair.

With the unparalleled divine weapon Dragon Vein and the three bronze-armored warriors, it can be said that the Bad Commander was defeated by the power of the divine weapon and by the sheer number of people, even though their strengths were originally comparable.

But Zhang Xiaoshan won fair and square.

Divine weapons are part of strength. The bronze-armored warrior is Zhang Xiaoshan's puppet bodyguard. The final nameless punch broke through the strongest defense of the Bad Commander and severely injured him.

It can only be said that the Bad Commander was too arrogant and underestimated Zhang Xiaoshan.

He didn't even have a single divine weapon with him.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan had another divine artifact—the Dragon Ball—that he hadn't yet unleashed.

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes!

It is a pleasure to meet you all again!

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the group of experts present, at least thirty of them. It should be noted that the experts here were all top-tier masters, which shows the strength of the Wu Tang Empire.

Throughout the entire Wu Tang Empire, there are at least a hundred top-tier masters.

Compared to the Song Dynasty, which only had a dozen or so officials on the surface, the difference is obvious!

In addition, there were some people from the Ghost Street who were spying around.

Mangshan is the entrance to Ghost Street, so naturally some people arrived earlier than Liu Sheng Piaoxu and the others, but they were hidden in the shadows.

The fall of the Bad Commander was not only shocking, but also deeply regrettable.

A peerless powerhouse died at the hands of the Zhang family.

First came the power of divine weapons, then the overwhelming force of numbers. Many people lamented Zhang Xiaoshan's 'shamelessness,' his lack of the demeanor of a strongman. With such powerful boxing skills, he should have fought fair and square.

However, they dared not speak out, after all, Zhang Xiaoshan was at least a master on the same level as the Bad Commander.

Not to mention Zhang Xiaoshan, just the top experts below are not people they can afford to offend.

"Respectfully seeing off the young master!"

Watching Zhang Xiaoshan and Liu Sheng Piaoxu slowly leave.

Everyone knows that the fall of the Bad Commander helped Zhang Xiaoshan embark on a new legend.

After all, the strength of the Bad Commander had definitely reached the realm of Shattering the Void, but Zhang Xiaoshan was still able to kill him powerfully in a short time, which is something that is difficult for other experts of the same realm to do.

But Zhang Xiaoshan did it.

Although it wasn't done in a completely aboveboard way, relying on divine weapons, dragon veins, and puppet bronze-armored warriors, these were themselves part of the strength.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan still has one trump card up his sleeve.

Inside Ghost Street!

Since the Zhang family's fleet had not yet arrived, Zhang Xiaoshan was taking the opportunity to arrange the deployment within Ghost Street.

His departure from the Wu Tang Empire this time was not only due to business matters within the empire, but also to the safety of Princess Taiping.

After all, if the Wu Tang Empire falls, the fate of Princess Taiping will be a problem.

And Ghost Street is the key!

Princess Taiping, who had returned to the secret room, looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with a complicated expression.

Princess Taiping felt nothing about Zhang Xiaoshan making her a widow, and she didn't even care about the destruction of the Wu clan.

After all, this Tang Dynasty belongs to the Li family, and she is Li Lingyue!

The only slightly upsetting thing is that Zhang Xiaoshan attacked the Li family and even killed their biggest trump card—the Bad Commander!

However, she knew that this was the price she had to pay, starting from the time the Bad Commander plotted against the Zhang family.

Princess Taiping was fully aware of the severity of the Zhang family's losses this time.

Leaving aside the other shops, just considering the architecture of the reception building alone...

"Will the Zhang family's next refuge be the Later Zhou dynasty?"

"Yes and no!"
