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

With so many people around, how could they possibly appear at the Zhang family's house without a sound?

No wonder the hunting dogs were barking so wildly; they had smelled these scents.

"Young Master instructed us to tell Master that these figures are divine weapons crafted by the An family. Their weak point is their head; attacking other parts of their bodies will not kill them!"

Suddenly, two figures appeared on the roof of the An family's house; they were the two remaining Jonin from the Zhang family.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked dazed, and the content was even more shocking.

An amazing weapon? Weak point: head? Unkillable?

If these are connected together, wouldn't they be monsters?

In an instant, Juezhi's eyes sharpened, knowing that trouble was about to begin.

"Prepare the spear formation!"

Once the opponent gets close to the hall, attack their head directly.

Upon hearing this, the guards also became solemn, forming a shield wall and wielding long staffs like spears, waiting for the monsters to approach.

"By the way, the young master also instructed that the area around the hall should not be ventilated. The targets these divine soldiers are chasing need special substances as a pull, which may blow in through the ventilation."

"Quick! Quick, close the windows! There's still the skylight, there's no wind..."

Upon hearing the news, everyone immediately shut off the ventilation vents, as survival was of paramount importance at that moment.

Butler Yang looked even more serious. He knew that the Zhang family was now at a critical moment of life and death, but he never expected that the An family would use such despicable means to deal with the Zhang family.

As the steward of the Zhang family and the head manager of Lin'an Prefecture, I still have access to some information.

For example, these terrifying monsters have appeared more than once.

The Zhang family's backyard was also on high alert.

Zhang Xiaoshan knew that An Shigeng's primary target was him; his location was both the most dangerous and the safest place.

Liu Sheng Piaoxu, Huang Rong, Hong Xiao, and Jiang Xue stood on one side of Zhang Xiaoshan, warily looking around.

Zhang Xiaoshan need not worry about their strength in the face of divine weapons.

What Zhang Xiaoshan was truly worried about was An Yunshan, who was lurking behind the scenes like a venomous snake.

"Now that Master An is here, why hide?"

I thought you would target the Divine Marquis's Mansion and the Six Doors, but I never expected you to turn against my Zhang family in the end.

Zhang Xiaoshan looked into the depths of darkness, his eyes gleaming, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Furthermore, his large hand curled inward, and a lightning bolt the size of a ping-pong ball appeared in his palm. He then flicked it out with his finger-flicking technique.

boom!

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed, spanning twenty or thirty feet, and the explosion of the thunderbolt caused An Shigeng some trouble.

No one would have imagined that Zhang Xiaoshan would use the Thunderclap Bomb as the elixir for his Finger Flicking Divine Skill.

With a loud bang, An Shigeng walked out of the darkness with a gloomy expression.

He admitted that he was no match for Zhang Xiaoshan in terms of cunning.

The thunderclap not only nearly injured him, but the loud bang would surely attract the attention of experts from the Six Doors and the Divine Marquis's Mansion.

Chapter Seventy-Six: A Trap of a Beast - An Yunshan Appears

"Young Master Zhang is still as cunning as ever!"

An Shigeng looked at the stunning beauty beside Zhang Xiaoshan and shook his head with some regret.

You should know that divine weapons don't distinguish between friend and foe; once they're stained with the deadly orchid, they'll be chopped into mincemeat.

Although Zhang Xiaoshan was skilled in martial arts and had three top-notch masters by his side, unfortunately, the divine weapons were not only invincible but also numerous, allowing them to wear down the opponent.

Moreover, several beautiful young women, once immersed in it, were no different from being treated as mere flesh.

"kill!"

With a wave of his hand, a cloud of deadly orchid dust swept towards the crowd.

The divine soldiers' eyes turned bloodshot instantly, like wolves smelling meat, and they pounced on Zhang Xiaoshan and the others.

"trouble!"

Looking at the divine weapon, Zhang Xiaoshan did not immediately make a move.

Although the divine weapons posed no threat to him, there were just too many of them, which was disgusting.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan has many simple ways to deal with divine soldiers, such as luring them into a pre-set trap and locking them up. He can study these methods later!

However, in such a short time, Zhang Xiaoshan naturally didn't have the opportunity to set up a large trap.

retreat!

Zhang Xiaoshan, with Huang Rong's slender waist in his arms, led the women straight to the cellar.

A group of divine soldiers followed closely behind like stag dogs, and within a few breaths, they caught up with the group and brought them to the entrance of the cellar.

Around the cellar were two long-awaited ghost corpses. Zhang Xiaoshan took off his coat and threw it to Liu Sheng Piaoxu.

"careful!"

"Don't worry, sir."

After taking the coats stained with the deadly orchid, the four women went straight into the cellar.

The swarming divine soldiers, naturally following the scent, entered the narrow-entranced cellar without hesitation.

An Shigeng, who was watching this scene from behind, twitched at the corner of his mouth and had a subtle look in his eyes.

I never expected Zhang Xiaoshan to be so cunning.

He had completely understood Zhang Xiaoshan's strategy: to trap the divine soldiers in the cellar. Once the only entrance and exit were blocked, the divine soldiers would be useless.

As for the stunning beauties inside, they can find any secret room to hide in and remain safe for a short time.

Insidious! Clever!

Even though An Shigeng wanted to stop him, he looked at the young man who had successfully avoided the divine weapon under the protection of the ghost corpse and showed fear in his eyes.

He didn't know how Zhang Xiaoshan concealed the scent of the deadly orchid on his body, but he was undoubtedly now trapped with nowhere to retreat. Having lost his divine weapon, he was no match for Zhang Xiaoshan and his two guards.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan did not make a move immediately. Instead, under the cover of the ghost corpse, he quietly watched An Shigeng.

As time passed, the divine weapons were gradually taken into the cellar.

However, just when An Shigen thought Zhang Xiaoshan was going to block the exit, suddenly, four beautiful figures rushed out of the cellar at an extremely fast speed.

The sheer skill of the light-footed technique caused An Shigeng's pupils to shrink in surprise.

He originally thought that only Liu Sheng Piaoxu's strength was worth his fear, but the lightness skills of the four women were no less than those of the top masters of lightness skills in the martial arts world.

Huang Rong is one thing, but Hongxiao and Jiangxue are not in his records about Anjia.

"Block the door!"

Gui Er simply picked up a rockery that was at least two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) in his arms and threw it at the entrance of the cellar.

boom!

With a loud bang, the divine soldiers that had emerged from behind were smashed into dust, and the entrance to the cellar was sealed off.

Seeing this, An Shigeng raised an eyebrow, realizing that the situation had put him in a desperate predicament.

Now he is facing seven masters alone. Not to mention that he has no chance of winning, he is completely powerless to fight back.

"What other tricks does Master An have up his sleeve?"

With the divine weapon rendered useless, Zhang Xiaoshan looked at An Shigeng with a smile in his eyes.

Even Huang Rong smiled, she liked this feeling of being domineering, because the other party was just too hateful.

"Young Master Zhang's methods are truly remarkable."

No wonder the Zhang family has developed so quickly under Young Master Zhang's leadership; it's probably because I helped him open up all his acupoints last time, which caused such a significant change.

Eight years ago, Zhang Xiaoshan was really just a playboy in his eyes.

At that time, An Shigeng didn't need to hold back at all when he made his move.

I originally thought that Zhang Xiaoshan would be crippled if he didn't die, or at least suffer a serious illness.

Despite his serious illness, Zhang Xiaoshan was a completely different person when he woke up.

If it weren't for the An family's backing, he, as one of the top young masters of Lin'an Prefecture, would have no right to compete with the other party; the gap was too great.

"But everything started to change from that time on."

Zhang Xiaoshan did not deny it, but looked behind An Yunshan and suddenly his eyes showed a solemn expression.

Suddenly, an old figure appeared behind An Shigeng, holding a dragon-headed cane, and approached with heavy steps.

"Master An? He shouldn't be more than sixty years old, right?"

Initially surprised, Zhang Xiaoshan asked a puzzling question.

An Yunshan understood the meaning behind Zhang Xiaoshan's question, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. He was still too young.

However, An Yunshan maintained a solemn expression in his eyes, because he realized that Zhang Xiaoshan's strength was not what was rumored—that he was merely a martial artist who had reached the pinnacle of physical strength.

"There are still two years until the age of sixty, but Young Master Zhang has surprised me. He has already reached such a level at such a young age."

He took two more steps forward. An Yunshan's emaciated body looked somewhat shaky, his face was old with white hair and beard, and his steps were heavy and unsteady. He really couldn't be associated with the word "master".

However, when kings clash, no one would underestimate this 'bastard' old man.

"At fifty, one knows the will of Heaven; at sixty, one's ears are attuned to the truth."

Master An is a legendary figure, so how did he end up on this path?

Even in his prime, he understood that it was an impossible path, and he knew that the martial world and the imperial court were two different worlds. Forcibly disrupting this order would only result in being devoured by both worlds!

"How can a mere child know the will of Heaven?"

Is he old or has he gone mad?

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at An Yunshan with pity, which made An Yunshan even more ashamed and angry.

With a wave of An Yunshan's hand, a group of assassins clad in red cloaks rushed out from the shadows, aiming their muskets at Zhang Xiaoshan. They were just waiting for An Yunshan's order to fire them into a sieve.

"How lively! Just now there was a group of Western Region warriors, and now there's a group of assassins?"

Ignoring the threat from the group of henchmen, Zhang Xiaoshan looked intently at the figure hidden in the darkness, his eyes filled with apprehension.

Although An Yunshan is senile, he is still a seasoned veteran, and surely he has more than just this one trump card.

However, what truly alarmed Zhang Xiaoshan was that, from the moment the thunderbolt exploded until now, no one from the Six Doors or the Divine Marquis's Mansion had come.

This is absolutely not normal.

Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Gathering of Masters of the Musketeer and the Flying Guillotine

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Ding! Ding! Ding...

In the instant of the fireworks, countless lead pellets burst forward in dense bursts, but what followed were the crisp, metallic clanging sounds.

The collision, accompanied by sparks flying everywhere, was even more breathtaking.

The two giant ghost corpses were at least eight feet tall, with imposing figures. Protected by bronze armor, they formed an impenetrable wall of bronze and iron in front of them.

After the lead pellets were fired in one go, not a single mark was left on the bronze armor.

Seeing this scene, even An Yunshan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He had long heard that Zhang Xiaoshan had three bodyguards, Liu Shengmingjia and two experts in external martial arts, and seeing them today, he could confirm that they lived up to their reputation.

"Piaoxu, take Rong'er back to the main hall. This is no longer your place to interfere!"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the murderous aura emanating from the darkness and knew that a great battle was imminent.

If it were just a fight, that would be fine, but the appearance of the flying guillotine is something no girl should see.

The ferocity and terror of the flying guillotine are self-evident.
