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

In less than ten breaths, the demonic sword broke the seal and hovered in the air.

Just as the demonic sword was about to strike Zhang Xiaoshan, a golden bead appeared above it, suppressing its violent outburst.

Bai Feifei was shocked to see this scene and realized that the Demon Sword had become sentient.

"Young master, is this demonic sword the weapon of Chi You, the ancestor of war, as recorded on the gate?"

"I don't know, but the killing intent of this sword is even stronger than the butcher's sword I saw in Xianyang Palace."

150,000 merits!

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Xiaoshan chose to enhance his merit.

After all, he's now so poor he only has good deeds left: building dikes, roads, private schools... popularizing sweet potatoes, providing medical care...

Even if Zhang Xiaoshan does nothing, he still receives at least 300,000 yuan in merit every year.

Moreover, the Zhang family's annual disaster relief, porridge distribution, and bridge repair work have transformed the corvée labor of millions of people into high-paying manual labor. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan's accumulated merits each year exceed 500,000.

"stop!"

At this moment, a cry of terror rang out, and outside, accompanied by Gai Nie and others, the high priestess looked at Chi You's demonic sword with a worried expression.

However, because the poisonous dragon was lurking at the entrance, no one dared to take a single step forward.

"Come in, the poisonous dragon will not harm you!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Gai Nie and the others glanced warily at the Poison Dragon who had made way for them.

Gai Nie didn't think he could kill this huge snake, after all, who knew if the venomous dragon's fatal weakness was its seven-inch spot?

Because the prototype of the Bottle Mountain Poison Dragon is not a snake!

"Merit enhancement? Young Master, do you intend to use merit to suppress the murderous aura of this demonic sword?"

At this moment, Wei Zhuang saw the Pure Yang Dragon Pearl on the Demon Sword.

At the same time, a continuous stream of profound and virtuous energy fell from the golden light of the Dragon Ball and merged into the Demon Sword.

Upon witnessing this scene, the young Tianming and the young Shaoyu immediately thought of the secrets of Kyushu.

"A demonic sword has been born! What is that?"

"Legend has it that the merits accumulated through good deeds and virtuous conduct are represented by a dragon pearl, which can transform intangible power into tangible power."

The Merit Enhancement Divine Weapon uses the power of merit accumulated through good deeds, as legend has it, to suppress the murderous aura of the demonic sword. This greatly increases the power of the demonic sword without affecting the mind of the wielder. The High Priest need not worry about the demonic sword being born and slaughtering living beings.

After all, once the demonic sword was enhanced, it was merely a weapon of unparalleled power, no longer capable of affecting the user's mind.

"how is this possible?"

Upon hearing this, the high priest looked in disbelief at the Chi You Demon Sword, which was being strengthened by the power of merit.

At this moment, the Chi You Demon Sword was undoubtedly extremely quiet.

Moreover, the blood color gradually faded, transforming into a supreme divine weapon that shone with golden light, exuding majesty and righteousness.

The Xuanyuan Divine Sword!

Upon seeing the enhanced demonic sword, Gai Nie, still a young man, immediately thought of a legendary divine weapon.

However, they knew that this was not the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

After all, this was a divine sword that they had witnessed transform from a demonic sword.

Chapter 729 The Revival of the Demon God: Mechanical Puppets?

"The Demon Sword has disappeared?"

The High Priest of Loulan stared in disbelief at the magnificent and awe-inspiring golden divine sword.

The legendary Chi You Sword, which was said to drink blood and kill, and that anyone who wielded it would become a demon, was transformed into a righteous divine sword by Zhang Xiaoshan's mysterious and unpredictable methods.

If she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, and hadn't seen the magnificent and boundless sword energy of the divine sword, she would never have believed that such a method existed in the world.

"then!"

Zhang Xiaoshan tossed the divine sword into Gai Nie's hands and gave the order:

"After we leave, Mr. Gai will take this divine sword and depart, returning to the Central Plains from Loulan."

After entering the pass, the Zhang family will demand it back from Mr. Gai!

"Rest assured, young master, Gai Nie will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Upon hearing this, Gai Nie immediately understood Zhang Xiaoshan's intention and did not refuse.

On the contrary, the young Tianming and the young Shaoyu could hardly believe that Zhang Xiaoshan had actually entrusted such a divine sword to Gai Nie to bring into the pass.

"Uncle, is this divine sword real?"

"It is true, but having a divine sword in hand may not be a good thing."

Too many martial arts practitioners have gathered outside; once the divine sword is unearthed, they will surely attack en masse!

what?

Upon hearing this, the young Tianming and the young Shaoyu's expressions changed drastically.

At the same time, they also understood why Zhang Xiaoshan had asked Gai Nie to bring the divine sword into the pass; it was to make Gai Nie take the blame.

"Uncle, isn't this sword a calamity? Why did you still take it?"

"Tianming, I have to do this!"

Upon hearing this, Shao Yu's eyes immediately lit up with a sharp light, revealing all his thoughts.

Even the High Priest of Loulan sensed the calamity brought by this sword and couldn't help but feel compassion for humanity, saying:

"Thank you both for thinking of Loulan and bringing the calamity away from Loulan!"

The divine sword is a calamity; only by leaving Loulan can it be freed from the greed of those who covet it.

Zhang Xiaoshan had Gai Nie bring the divine sword and enter the pass openly, with the aim of attracting the attention of those who coveted it, letting them know that the treasure hidden in Loulan had already been taken by Gai Nie.

Such careful and thoughtful arrangements even impressed the high priest, who couldn't help but admire Zhang Xiaoshan's benevolence.

As for the soldiers, demons, and gods that follow?

In a single leap, Zhang Xiaoshan covered ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) and arrived directly in front of the God of War.

It was a mechanical Gundam with countless chains, its ferocious and domineering appearance exuding murderous intent. It was made entirely of a mysterious black metal, decorated with strange blood-red runes, resembling an ancient celestial book.

This demon god was even larger than Zhang Xiaoshan had imagined; it was not just ten zhang long, but probably fifteen zhang long!

Moreover, they are all humanoid mechanical beasts forged from meteorite iron.

It's likely that a single punch could shatter and explode even the formidable Yanmen city wall.

Moreover, this Demon Soldier is not just a simple steel armor; it is made from legendary fallen stars and possesses the power to destroy everything.

"Is this the war machine the Empire wanted?"

Just from its ferocious and domineering appearance, Gai Nie could imagine the terrifying power of this thing.

If the empire were to obtain this divine artifact, it would not merely be icing on the cake, but rather a powerful boost.

"What is your opinion, young master?"

"The empire's fate is sealed; the Demon God of War is of no use."

Furthermore, to activate such a divine artifact, one needs a treasure like the Dragon Ball to unleash the terrifying power of this Demon God.

Zhang Xiaoshan's certainty startled even Gai Nie.

Zhang Xiaoshan seemed to know something, and was so certain that the empire would not need this divine artifact.

After all, apart from the Dragon Emperor, there is no one else in the empire who can activate the Dragon Ball.

"If that's the case, why does the young master stand idly by?"

"The Empire and the Zhang family can only coexist!"

Upon hearing this, Gai Nie's pupils contracted.

Even the young Shao Yu couldn't understand Zhang Xiaoshan's meaning, but he knew the stance Zhang Xiaoshan was trying to express.

Not just the Dragon Emperor, but any empire would not allow a powerful family that could rival the empire, especially a merchant family.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan's choice this time was to save the Zhang family's life.

The best way to eliminate this hidden danger forever is undoubtedly for the Zhang family to take over the empire.

In this way, the empire becomes the Zhang family's, and the Zhang family becomes the empire.

However, he did not explicitly state that Zhang Xiaoshan's words to him constituted everyone's approval.

"The Demon God of War!"

Zhang Xiaoshan ignored Gai Nie and instead soared through the air towards the God of War's brow.

The internal structure of the War God is not simply a manual control lever; it also contains a more advanced form of mind control, so it does not need the Dragon Balls as the source of the War God's power.

·········Requesting flowers·· 0

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan directly summoned the Mirage Dragon Pearl, and instantly, the entire control room was enveloped by a force of heaven and earth.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xiaoshan's primordial spirit perfectly controlled the power of the War Demon God through the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

At the same time, with the blessing of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, blood-red runes were activated outside, and a terrifying aura, like that of a demon god, spread out.

"The Demon God of War has been resurrected?"

Upon seeing the power of the War God restored, the High Priest of Loulan was greatly alarmed.

Having guarded for millennia, the War Demon God is considered an evil entity in their lineage. Once activated, the War Demon God will bring devastation to the land.

Suddenly, Gai Nie and the High Priest saw Zhang Xiaoshan's figure gracefully descend.

...... ... .......

Just when they thought Zhang Xiaoshan had given up on reviving the Soldier Demon God, they saw that the talismans on the Soldier Demon God's body were still lighting up one by one, and its aura was becoming more and more terrifying.

"Young Master, you've activated the Demon God of War, why don't you directly control it?"

"No need, the internal structure of the Soldier Demon God is extremely special."

They are divided into manual control and mental control. Mr. Gai Nie should know about the mechanical beasts that are manually controlled.

The mental manipulation, which involves using the Mirage Dragon Ball to revive the extraterrestrial power contained within the Demon God Soldier, possesses the power to destroy the world.

With Zhang's concentrated spiritual power, he could completely control this demonic soldier within a hundred feet at will!

what?

Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's fantastical explanation, even the High Priest couldn't help but show his astonishment.

Although Gai Nie was surprised, he knew that the Grandmaster realm was such that those with profound understanding could condense the Taoist primordial spirit.

The power of the primordial spirit is beyond their comprehension.

However, upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation, he was still horrified.

What shocked him was not that Zhang Xiaoshan could control it remotely, but that this Demon God of Soldiers completely exceeded his understanding of mechanical beasts. It could be manipulated as freely as Zhang Xiaoshan's bronze-armored puppet.

The difference between a sluggish mechanical beast and a puppet capable of unleashing world-destroying power is qualitative.

No wonder even the empire was eager to possess it.

With this terrifying war machine, it is in no way inferior to the poison dragon that Zhang Xiaoshan placed outside.

Moreover, this puppet is fifteen zhang tall, and any city wall in front of it is merely a knee-high threshold, utterly unable to stop the power of this behemoth.

Chapter 730 Dividing the spoils on the spot, the treasure is born

"This is the War Demon God?"

The mere presence of the dark metallic material imbued the Imperial warriors with a sense of invincible power.

In particular, the feeling of control over the Demon God of Soldiers, which followed closely behind the Poison Dragon under Zhang Xiaoshan's mental control, was so strong that it shocked both Wei Zhuang and Gongshu Chou.

Clearly, this Demon God Corps is not only a behemoth of steel, but also far more agile than mechanical beasts.
