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

This fate is not just Liu Ji's life, but also Liu Ji's destiny.

Soon, Zhang Sheng caught up with Liu Ji, who had been dodging and acting cautiously, his face gloomy.

At this moment, Liu Ji was warming himself by the fire. The mud on his body was like a thick suit of armor, and it was this mud that temporarily kept Liu Ji's aura away from the pursuit of the lightning sable.

Zhang Sheng's arrival also triggered the traps and mechanisms that Liu Ji had set up around the area.

Gazing at the figure emerging from the forest, Liu Ji's expression darkened, a flash of killing intent crossing his eyes. Almost instantly, his face transformed into a smile, and he exclaimed with delight:

"Who do we have here? It's Brother Zi'an!"

"Liu Ji, it's just the two of us here, so you don't need to pretend anymore."

"I've come to kill you. Between us, only one of us can leave this place today."

After saying that, the snarling, pouncing Lightning Sable was thrown away by Zhang Sheng.

The Lightning Finch's speed and venom make it ideal for surprise attacks.

In this direct confrontation, Liu Ji's strength was such that he could cleave the Lightning Sable in two with a single sword strike.

Therefore, Zhang Sheng slowly drew his Pure Yang Sword, and at the same time, a chilling sword aura spread for ten feet around him. Only then did Zhang Sheng unleash his true strength.

Flying Immortal Sword Technique!

At this moment, four kinds of sword energy lingered around him. Combined with the supreme divine sword in Zhang Sheng's hand, Liu Ji, who was at the pinnacle of his cultivation, was like a small boat that could capsize at any moment.

This is not just the difference between a top-tier swordsman and a first-rate swordsman.

Zhang Sheng cultivated the supreme martial arts, Zhang Yuan received the Grandmaster-level Wedding Dress Divine Skill, and the ultimate Yang Qi from the Dragon Saliva Fruit.

With so many differences combined, it was like a stare between a dragon and a dog. Liu Ji had no chance to make a second move in front of Zhang Sheng.

For a moment, Liu Ji felt a surge of despair.

He was unwilling to accept this; ever since Zhang Xiaoshan declared him the "chosen one," he had harbored ambitions.

But he never expected the Zhang family to be so ruthless, giving him no chance to realize his ambitions.

Faced with Zhang Sheng's pursuit, Liu Ji, in a desperate situation, also revealed his determination to perish together with Zhang Sheng.

Since the Zhang family has gone to such lengths to exterminate him, he is determined to perish together with Zhang Sheng today, no matter what, so that every member of the Zhang family will taste the pain of losing a son and regret their pursuit today.

Chapter 809 Flying Immortal Sword Technique: Liu Ji's Fatal Attack

"Brother, do you really have to go to such extremes?"

Faced with Liu Ji's questioning, Zhang Sheng remained silent.

In this world, only the sword energy, like a howling north wind, surged through the mountain streams.

The sword energy surged and roared, the wind and clouds changed color, the mountains and forests rustled, flocks of birds danced wildly and died in the sword energy, and autumn leaves were also split in two as they fell.

Faced with such overwhelming killing intent, Liu Ji couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

He hadn't done anything detrimental to the Zhang family, so why did Zhang Sheng harbor such a terrifying murderous intent towards him? Moreover, Zhang Sheng had many opportunities to kill him before.

But the fact that they didn't take action before, and are suddenly doing so now, undoubtedly indicates that it was the will of someone in the Zhang family.

Upon his return, Zhang Sheng was given detailed instructions by Zhang Xiaoshan.

When facing an enemy, show no mercy.

Once you've identified the enemy you want to kill, don't hesitate or waste time talking.

Especially for some people with extremely strong luck, being kind to others is the greatest cruelty to themselves.

You might even lose your life if you're not careful.

Only when you have confirmed that you have killed the opponent and have no worries about the aftermath can you relax your guard.

Therefore, Zhang Sheng was convinced that Liu Ji was doomed, so he had no intention of wasting words with him. Only by killing him could he be completely free from any worries.

The ever-rising, terrifying sword energy, the final, deadly strike, gave Liu Ji absolutely no chance to catch his breath.

In an instant, amidst the swirling, dark clouds, a sword flashed across the mountains and forests.

The light and shadow shifted endlessly, and countless sword energies, like a long dragon, surged forth with the surging power of ten thousand swords returning to their origin, annihilating everything in their path. This was the ultimate move of the Crescent Moon Sword Energy.

Killing a chicken with a bull's knife!

However, one cannot be careless or relaxed. Therefore, even a grandmaster would have to put some effort into mastering the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source" technique of the Crescent Moon Sword Qi.

hum!

At the last possible moment, a sword light from afar blocked Liu Ji's path.

This scene also made Zhang Sheng frown.

Indeed, those destined for greatness are not easy to kill.

Even at this point, a master still came to the rescue.

Zhang Sheng looked at the newcomer, without exchanging any words or questioning him. From the moment the other party made their move, they were already enemies.

Since one sword strike wasn't enough to kill him, a second strike will suffice.

The sword energy he had just accumulated was exhausted in one go. Zhang Sheng flew up and swung his sword, creating a towering sword shadow amidst the changing wind and clouds.

In the blink of an eye, a move called "Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens" pierced through the air.

That was the Crescent Moon Sword Qi from the Flying Immortal Sword Technique; now it is the true Flying Immortal Sword Technique, with the four swords combined into one.

This sword strike is similar to Sword Twenty-Three, but it is not a manifestation of the primordial spirit; rather, it is the essence of the sword.

The Pure Yang Sword Essence froze time and space in an instant, and in a daze, a drop of immortal energy, carrying a magnificent, majestic, and terrifyingly powerful sword aura, came straight at him.

Even if Liu Ji were to be left behind, the newcomer who barely managed to block the Crescent Moon Sword Qi would still feel despair when faced with the supreme sword essence that stagnated space and time.

Zhang Sheng's abilities far exceeded his budget.

Number one on the blacklist, and rightfully so!

"The Supreme Divine Sword?"

Zhang Sheng's own realm is not high enough to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, let alone such a sword energy that stagnates space and time, which is an ability that only a top-level grandmaster has.

Moreover, the sword strike, which resembled the soul leaving the body, instilled a sense of despair and oppression.

A crescent moon sword aura was enough for the newcomer to barely withstand.

Moreover, the combination of the four swords creates an unparalleled ultimate skill that undergoes a near-qualitative transformation.

Zhang Sheng was able to unleash this sword strike that transcended his own realm by drawing upon the primordial spirit power contained within the supreme divine sword, thus creating such a terrifying and deadly strike.

As the immortal passed by, a vast and powerful sword aura surged in all directions, and both Liu Ji and the newcomer's eyes were filled with resentment.

Xiaoyaozi!

Looking at the peerless master who had fallen and died, Zhang Sheng sighed with regret.

However, after the other party drew his sword to save the person, Zhang Sheng did not hesitate to list him as an enemy.

At the same time, Zhang Sheng also knew Xiaoyaozi's thoughts. It was probably because of his previous revelation that Liu Ji was the chosen one, so Xiaoyaozi had the idea of ​​supporting Liu Ji and replacing the empire.

After all, it's not surprising that Xiaoyaozi, who even dared to assassinate the Dragon Emperor, would have such thoughts.

Unfortunately, Xiaoyaozi couldn't see the Zhang family's ambition, let alone imagine their domineering nature.

All enemies will only be crushed.

Xiaoyaozi hadn't even made it onto the Black List, yet he dared to save someone right in front of me. Did he really think he only had the Heavenly Martial Arts?

Even when the Pure Yang Sword is drawn, its sword energy can directly tear through the defenses of innate qi, let alone his Flying Immortal Sword Technique.

A casual snapshot reveals two mounds of yellow earth buried here.

Offering rewards based on the number of people killed is a business that Zhang Sheng would never consider worthwhile.

Even if he actually took the head, it would ultimately be a losing proposition, as both Taoists and agriculturalists would become hostile towards him.

·········Requesting flowers·· 0

Taking only their swords and preserving their dignity would not be objected to by either the Taoists or the Agriculturalists.

This world is one where the strong survive and the weak perish!

The Zhang family targeted Liu Ji because of Liu Ji's destiny.

Since Xiaoyaozi dared to stop the Zhang family from killing people, he naturally deserved to die. He could only blame himself for being too weak and still trying to stick his neck out.

However, Xiaoyaozi's Xueji sword and Liu Ji's Chixiao sword were taken away by Zhang Sheng.

These are two peerless divine weapons. With a little enhancement from his father, the Zhang family could have two more top-tier swordsmen.

As for the issue of snow clearing?

Taoists would either exchange it for an equivalent divine weapon, such as Zhang Sanfeng's Zhenwu Sword or Xiaomeng's Qiuli, or some peerless treasures of higher value than Xueji.

... ...

···

"Liu Ji is dead?"

Looking at the two divine weapons brought by Zhang Sheng, the Crimson Sky Sword was Liu Ji's personal sword.

However, the constables of Pei County were not from the martial arts world and did not know the origin of the Crimson Cloud Sword. Therefore, Liu Ze was very skeptical when he heard this.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan only needs the Chixiao Sword and Xueji, the two divine weapons mentioned by Liu Ze, to be in the Zhang family.

Other matters were left to be handled internally by the empire.

As for the Liu clan members?

In the end, Zhang Xiaoshan, considering Liu Ze's innocence, allowed him to be released.

After all, apart from Liu Ji, the rest of the Liu family were ordinary people, and they had been badly tricked by Liu Ji in this terrifying ordeal, so they harbored great hatred towards him.

Strictly speaking, they were not Zhang's enemies.

Regardless of their relationship with Liu Ji, none of them would avenge Liu Ji, nor would they have the ability to do so.

Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda!

This would greatly enhance the Zhang family's reputation, rather than the previous image of the Zhang family simply wiping out entire families when they took action.

It's rare that someone was left alive.

Moreover, this was under Zhang Sheng's leadership, which undoubtedly gives people the impression that Zhang Sheng is a model of benevolence and righteousness.

Instead of Zhang Xiaoshan, who either treats people with a smile or wipes out their entire family.

Ultimately, a gentleman says that disputes in the martial world should not harm one's family.

In Zhang Xiaoshan's mind, eliminating the root of the problem was the only way to succeed.

However, a change in mindset requires a change of era; after all, a new emperor brings a new court.

The Zhang family's style of doing things is determined by the people in charge of the Zhang family.

Chapter 810 The Marriage is Settled Xue Ji Chi Xiao

"Then it's settled."

After the Donghai Prince's Mansion was completed, Ping An married Zhi'er and Su'er, and the mansion became their new residence.

"We will do as you say, young master!"

Three days later, the final wedding date was set.

Even Lu Gong had no choice but to agree, considering that the wedding was taking place in the East Sea Prince's Mansion, and Zhang Sheng would directly inherit the East Sea Prince's Mansion.

Even Lü Gong couldn't help but be tempted by such conditions.

A woman from a royal family will have a future status that other women cannot match.

If two people are in love, their future offspring, though born out of wedlock, can still be included in the main line of the Zhang family and carry on the Zhang family tradition.

It can be said that Zhang Xiaoshan had already thought about their future conflict between legitimate and illegitimate children from the moment they established their relationship.

The empire's only king of a different surname, and the most supreme and transcendent power in the Nine Provinces.

It can be said that the Zhang family's accumulation in just a few decades has surpassed that of many ancient families with thousands of years of history, and they are the kind of family that controls life and death in a "733" way.
