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

"Your Majesty is joking. Does Your Majesty truly believe that a subject must die if the ruler commands it?"

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled disdainfully, his eyes revealing a mocking expression!

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu's expression changed drastically. Why did the Zhang family leave the Song Dynasty?

It was just wiping out Cai Jing's entire family.

Thinking about how the Zhang family had recently reduced their business operations, almost all of which had been dissolved.

Clearly, the Zhang family had made this plan long ago, which made Emperor Wu even more wary.

"The Wu Tang Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty. If you destroy the Wu family, the Zhang family can forget about leaving the empire alive."

"Then try it!"

Such contemptuous words! If Emperor Wu hadn't been wary of Zhang Xiaoshan's strength, he would have wiped out the entire traitor long ago.

But at this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan disdainfully released Shangguan Wan'er, and with a flick of his finger, Shangguan Wan'er immediately lost her breath and lay horizontally on the main hall.

Zhang Xiaoshan originally intended to kill her, but in the end he spared her life, only crippling Shangguan Wan'er's martial arts.

After all, the families of those poisoned also need an outlet for their hatred.

Since Shangguan Wan'er was the one who directly orchestrated this, then she should bear the brunt of the anger from those who have lost loved ones and those seeking revenge.

Chapter 536 Bloodstained Capital: Xiao Family Father and Son VS Yuwen Clan

"Oh!"

A red firework burst open a hundred feet above the palace, forming the character for "kill".

The fireworks were dazzling, illuminating the sky. But the eerie word "kill" was sinister and terrifying. Not only the imperial palace, but the entire capital city was stunned by this firework display.

Moreover, there was only one burst of fireworks in the sky, which was clearly a signal.

Such a terrifying word as "kill" clearly indicates the extermination of an entire family!

Those who had received the news beforehand, including Prince Jin and Song Que, all looked in the direction of the Wu family.

Amidst the swirling thoughts in their minds, how could they not understand that since the Zhang family had taken action against the Wu family, the mastermind behind it all was self-evident?

Especially since the word 'kill' came from within the palace, it was clear that Zhang Xiaoshan had already arrived inside.

At the same time, having received the news, Lianxing and Dongfang Bubai unleashed their killing intent and issued the order to exterminate the entire clan.

Not a single disciple of the Wu family will be spared!

Dark clouds obscured the moon, giving off a bloody aura.

The Wu family failed to discover this, but the Zhang family completely blocked the Wu family's access channels.

At this moment, with the order issued, the once peaceful and prosperous samurai community instantly turned into a hellish place.

After all, the Wu family was not a top-tier aristocratic family before they rose to prominence.

After rising to prominence, his reputation suffered, so apart from a few evil masters protecting his residence, most of the guards were not even third-rate experts.

Even some second- or third-rate masters, at this point, are at least second-rate in terms of the lowest level of the Blood Droplet technique.

Furthermore, due to their long-term involvement in killing and training missions, coupled with their superior equipment, each member of the Blood Droplets possesses strength comparable to a top-tier expert.

"There are assassins!"

"So many assassins! I'll go get help..."

"It's the Flying Guillotine! The Zhang family's Flying Guillotine..."

When Guard 19 saw the blood-red figure approaching, he recognized the Blood Droplets guards and turned to flee.

Just kidding, when the Flying Guillotine strikes, it never leaves anyone alive.

Moreover, there must be top-notch experts among the Blood Droplets, who are simply beyond the capabilities of their guards.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast they ran, all they could hear were the 'buzzing, buzzing, buzzing' sound of blood droplets lingering in the air above the Wu family's residence, and then they came upon headless corpses.

The guards and servants were also among those exterminated by the Zhang family.

Beyond the terrifying and cruel flying guillotine, beneath the Tang swords forged from Wootz steel and top-grade wrought iron, sharp blades capable of cutting through iron like mud sliced ​​through struggling bodies.

Once these Blood Droplets enter a slaughter mode, their killing intent surges, increasing their strength by at least 30%, bringing them to the level of top-tier experts.

In an instant, the entire Martial Academy was filled with cries of despair.

Let alone the innocent maids and servants, even the most skilled fighters had little chance of fighting back against the Blood Droplets.

These flying guillotines, when combined with other deadly moves, would kill even the most skilled martial artists on the spot.

Moreover, apart from the two 'Martial' King's Mansions, how many top-tier experts can be stationed in a single aristocratic family?

Moreover, the Blood Droplets of the two Wu Family Princes were led by Duan Yanqing and Jin Bu'er respectively.

One is proficient in the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, and the other has cultivated the first three forms of the Heavenly Cripple Divine Skill; both are at the peerless level in terms of combat power.

Even the top experts from the two royal palaces turned and fled upon encountering the two.

Since the Zhang family has decided to exterminate them, those who remain here will only face certain death.

"Stop whoever comes!"

Although the samurai family is disliked by many.

However, many powerful families chose to pledge allegiance to Emperor Wu, and naturally they could not stand by and watch the Wu family perish!

Zhang Xiaoshan also anticipated that many powerful families would come to his aid, so he kept those peerless masters alive to prevent such reinforcements from arriving.

In the darkness, two figures blocked the way for the Yuwen Clan.

After the Zhang family wiped out three of the Yuwen clan's top experts, only the clan head Yuwen Shang and Yuwen Cheng remained as top-tier masters.

However, to be on the safe side, Yuwen Shang personally came to provide support.

"who are you?"

"So you are Yuwen Shang?"

Xiao Yuanshan looked at Yuwen Shang with a fierce glint in his eyes.

Unlike Xiao Feng, who was a chivalrous man, Xiao Yuanshan was grateful for the Zhang family's kindness, but more importantly, he was rewarded for Zhang Xiaoshan healing his internal injuries.

Therefore, when facing Yuwen Shang, Xiao Yuanshan's gaze was filled with murderous intent!

After all, they came here following cause and effect. Now that they have received the reward, they naturally have to do it well and leave no one alive among Emperor Wu's lackeys.

"Master!"

Yuwen was heartbroken and panicked. He hadn't expected Zhang Xiaoshan to have foreseen that he would support the Wu family and had arranged for the Xiao family father and son to ambush him here.

For a moment, I had an urge to turn around and leave.

"Feng'er, make your move! These are all the demon queen's henchmen!"

Xiao Yuanshan took the initiative and moved with the speed of an eagle catching a rabbit, his momentum fierce and domineering.

Yuwen Shang's head sank. He immediately used his power to determine the fate of the country, circulating his true qi to its limit, and met the two fists that came flying through the air with both palms.

boom!

The two men's bodies trembled instantly as their fierce and incomparable innate qi clashed.

After being repelled, Yuwen Shang looked at Xiao Yuanshan in shock. The two were evenly matched, one with a cold palm strike and the other with a fierce fist strike.

After being blasted away, Xiao Yuanshan was about to make a move when Xiao Feng blocked his way.

Xiao Feng had seen the exchange clearly.

The two were of similar strength, and the result was either that they were both severely injured or that one died and the other was wounded.

Xiao Feng naturally couldn't let Xiao Yuanshan take risks; he was more suitable for this battle.

"Father, your strengths are evenly matched, it's hard to tell who will win. Let me handle it, you can take care of them!"

"Alright!"

Xiao Yuanshan looked at Yuwen Shang. Although he was unwilling, he did not want to leave his old bones here.

Xiao Yuanshan was also very confident in Xiao Feng's strength. Although he was at the pinnacle of his cultivation, his true combat power was at an unparalleled level.

This is also why Zhang Xiaoshan had Xiao Feng ambush people here.

"Your Excellency, this may be a misunderstanding. The Yuwen family will leave immediately!"

Can't afford it!

Yuwen Shang was trembling with fear and had already decided to retreat.

The father and son were fighting, and seeing Xiao Yuanshan's full confidence in his son, he wasn't an idiot.

Not to mention that the father and son could easily win together.

Even after testing him, Xiao Yuanshan remained confident in Xiao Feng, clearly indicating that Xiao Feng's strength was superior to theirs.

He was there to provide support, not to die.

"Now that you're here, let's stay!"

Xiao Yuanshan bypassed Yuwen Shang and attacked the experts from the Yuwen Clan behind him.

This scene made Yuwen Shang's eyes turn bloodshot, and he immediately wanted to chase after him to stop him, but how could Xiao Feng let Yuwen Shang have his way? He casually unleashed a Dragon Subduing Palm strike.

Its palm strike was extremely powerful and fierce, no less powerful than Xiao Yuanshan's domineering fist strike.

Even Yuwen Shang could only turn around to defend himself.

At the same time, Xiao Feng had already pressed forward, his physique like that of a lion, his palms like fans pushing horizontally, and another domineering dragon-shaped energy surged and roared, coming from all directions of Penglai.

Before Yuwen Shang could turn around, he had already missed his chance.

Faced with Xiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Palm, their strength, which was originally only slightly inferior, was immediately knocked back by a single palm strike.

Moreover, the Dragon Subduing Palm is not only incredibly powerful and domineering, but its technique is also exquisite.

One palm strike is exhausted, and another immediately follows; sometimes the palm force is unparalleled in its power, dominating the world; sometimes the palm shadows fly, following like a shadow; sometimes it combines strength and gentleness, repeating endlessly, its changes unpredictable...

At this moment, Xiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Palm had reached an unparalleled level of mastery. The power of his palm strikes was so great that after exchanging several blows, Yuwen Shang had already suffered internal injuries, and a flush appeared on his face.

"What a majestic and imposing man!"

Moreover, with such high martial arts skills, why have I never heard of him in the martial arts world?

Not far away, many experts from within the capital city watched the Yuwen Clan experts being intercepted by the Xiao family father and son, but they showed no intention of intervening.

Just kidding, the Zhang family has a grudge against Emperor Wu, and neither of them can afford to offend either of them.

Moreover, since the Zhang family has taken action against Emperor Wu's aristocratic families, some things are self-evident. Otherwise, the Zhang family's targets would have been the Bad People and Miao territory.

"The legendary Qiao Feng of the North and Murong of the South."

Such a fierce and domineering external palm technique must be the Beggars' Sect's signature move—the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!

As a disciple of the Yin Gui Sect, Wanwan was originally supposed to assist Empress Yin in her actions.

However, the one who blocked Yin Hou was an old acquaintance of 433 - Tian Dao Song Que. Moreover, Tian Dao only intervened because of his status, so the support turned into idle chat, and all that was needed was an excuse.

Wanwan, who was wandering around, soon spotted Shi Feixuan and the Twin Dragons watching the battle.

Upon seeing the three people entering, Wanwan immediately thought of Shi Feixuan's identity.

If there's nothing else to do, it's a good way to keep Cihang Jingzhai from interfering in this matter;

It would be best if Cihang Jingzhai were to intervene, as this would allow them to be listed as a rival of the Zhang family.

How powerful is the Zhang family?

This time, Wanwan was completely stunned, and that didn't even include the core experts of the Zhang family—

The bodyguards, Juexin and Juezhi; the esteemed Abbot Xingyin; the female warrior-like monks...

"Qiao Feng of the North? The Dragon Subduing Palm?"

Xu Ziling and his companion were both from Jiangnan, so how could they not have heard of this name?

In those days of peace and prosperity, there were few top masters. The Murong family was famous throughout Jiangnan, and Qiao Feng was a renowned hero north of Longjiang.

It's just a pity that they all ended up becoming different races.

One went north to become the Southern King of the Liao Dynasty; the other abandoned his family and career to join the Western Xia's First-Class Hall.
