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

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning views of the surrounding scenery.

Sitting on the sofa, which resembled a couch but was even softer and more elastic, was much more comfortable than his phoenix carriage.

Such enjoyment is probably more luxurious than even the emperor's back garden!

The Sixth Prince's visit was to test Zhang Xiaoshan's attitude.

Because yesterday, he received an invitation—

The three invitations from Ghost Street—the previous God of Wealth An Shigeng, the second batch of Hidden Dragon King—have all been replaced in less than a year.

As one of the masterminds behind this, he couldn't understand whether it was the Golden-Faced Buddha's intention or the Zhang family's.

After thinking about it all night, I figured I might as well just ask Zhang Xiaoshan directly.

If it's not a conspiracy, then we can accept it; this is an opportunity.

"Young Master Zhang, what a dashing young man! I heard that Manager Feng also came here yesterday and stayed."

"Not at all, Manager Feng has come to learn some self-defense techniques."

Things have been too chaotic lately. Manager Feng is a weak woman, and there are no powerful experts to protect her in the Red Mansion. So, Zhang thought that he should let Manager Feng learn a unique skill here.

Look, Shopkeeper Feng is currently practicing the Shaolin secret technique—the Flower-Picking Finger—with Master Mingchen!

Fingers!

Not only the Sixth Prince, but even the Fiery Cloud Evil God Yingxia could see through the French windows that Master Mingchen was demonstrating the Flower-Picking Finger technique in the garden on the other side of the courtyard.

The nun, who was already stunningly beautiful, smiled as she held up a flower, making her even more breathtaking.

In that instant, it seemed as if a real Bodhisattva had smiled, making one's mind wander.

The crimson petals held in her delicate hands seemed to drift away with the wind as she released them, without making a sound or showing any signs of smoke.

It seemed like a casual act, but the Sixth Prince and Yingxia's pupils shrank as the petals, carried by the wind, instantly reached the artificial hill five zhang away.

The entire, incredibly soft petal was completely submerged inside the artificial rockery.

Even a falling flower or a plucked leaf can be deadly.

But the key is the profound and genuine Qi it carries.

The effortless flick of the finger just now demonstrated that the mastery of the "flower-picking finger" technique had reached its pinnacle.

Even they lacked the confidence to catch this seemingly divine finger gesture.

"Impressive skills! No wonder you are a disciple of Buddhism!"

With a flick of his finger, even the Sixth Prince, who had initially suspected Zhang Xiaoshan of keeping nuns and prostitutes, had to admit that this was definitely a true disciple of Buddhism, and the chief among the direct disciples of Buddhism.

He probably has ambitions, but it's unknown whether Zhang Xiaoshan has actually gotten his hands on Tang Sanzang's flesh!

"Master Mingchen's martial arts skills mainly consist of the Compassionate Knife Technique and the Flower-Pinching Finger Technique, as well as the Great Compassion Palm Technique, which he has not yet mastered."

While mastering the "Flower-Picking Finger Technique" requires decades of arduous practice, according to Master Mingchen, there are also quicker methods. Although not the ultimate path, they are sufficient for self-protection.

"I see!"

The Sixth Prince nodded, but at the same time, he was secretly wary.

Clearly, Master Mingchen's relationship with the Zhang family suggests that if a conflict were to break out, he would undoubtedly side with the Zhang family.

With just his finger-pinching technique, his martial arts skills are so high that even he might not be his match.

"By the way, Young Master Zhang, do you know anything about this?"

"An invitation? Ghost Street? It seems the Buddha has his eye on the Sixth Prince!"

As for the reason, I do know it. Piaoxu, go to the study and fetch the three letters from Jiangnan yesterday.

"Yes! Son!"

· ········Requesting flowers· ········

As Liu Sheng Piaoxu turned and went upstairs, the Sixth Prince saw this scene and his eyes widened in a strange light.

Sure enough, this villa is teeming with beautiful women!

Moreover, each and every one of them is an absolute beauty.

Zhang Xiaoshan's strength and influence clearly indicate that he values ​​beauty more than power.

"Your Highness, please look!"

One was a letter of apology from Murong Bo directly to Zhang Xiaoshan; another was a gift letter and route map from him to the Gusu branch; and the third was a letter from the Gusu branch detailing the acceptance results!

The Sixth Prince was also extremely shocked when he saw the three letters.

"The Hidden Dragon King is actually a member of the Murong clan of Gusu!"

"That's right. Last time, Murong Fu helped my father outside Suzhou. So the Zhang family told Nan Murong about how the Hidden Dragon King used the Star Shift technique to avoid the Buddha's kick."

Will the Hidden Dragon King be able to shift the stars and change the course of events?

The Sixth Prince had received similar suspicions before, but he couldn't confirm them.

I never expected it to be true. No wonder the Murong family moved away this time; they were afraid that the Golden-Faced Buddha would settle scores with them later.

"Returning the Water Pavilion? The Zhang family is truly blessed!"

"If Your Highness wishes, you can send someone to Suzhou to have a copy made."

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

These manuals may seem valuable, but they are not ultimate techniques; most of them are just second- or third-rate martial arts.

I have witnessed the brilliance of the Southern Murong. He was originally of superior talent and possessed top-notch family martial arts skills, but unfortunately, he was held back by these skills, neglecting the essentials and pursuing the trivial. In fact, he was far inferior to the Northern Qiao Feng, who rose from humble beginnings.

Moreover, I believe the Murong family would never leave behind truly superior martial arts techniques!

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince nodded with a look of realization.

Indeed, the Murong family would never leave behind their true martial arts secrets. The Water Pavilion, seemingly filled with thousands of martial arts scrolls, is actually less valuable than having just one scroll of ultimate techniques.

but···

"In that case, I thank Young Master Zhang."

These martial arts skills are not to be wasted. The Sixth Prince's probing had already given him a good idea of ​​what was going on.

The entire Qianlong King family fled, leaving one of the three upper families without a place.

As for promotion from the three middle gates, the only qualified person, the Heavenly Official of the Tomb Raiders, is still the Golden-Faced Buddha, so naturally he is not suitable for promotion.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Official of the Tomb Raiders is not suitable to be exposed in the open.

"Is this young lady the famous Yagyu master from Japan?"

"Liu Sheng Piaoxu greets Your Highness!"

Gazing upon Liu Sheng Piaoxu's exquisite beauty, the Sixth Prince couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"What an absolutely stunning beauty!"

Moreover, I've heard that the Yagyu family is a leader in the martial arts world of Japan. My maid, Yingxia, also studied ninjutsu in Japan for a period of time. How about the renowned Yagyu family give her some pointers?

Faced with the Sixth Prince's request, Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Liu Sheng Piaoxu's inquiry and then nodded.

The Sixth Prince's request was not without reason; it was because Liu Sheng Piaoxu had been keeping a close eye on Yingxia, and he could clearly sense the fighting spirit that Liu Sheng Piaoxu occasionally revealed.

He also wanted to see the strength of the beautiful Japanese artist beside Zhang Xiaoshan.

Moreover, he was full of confidence in the strength of 'Fire Cloud Evil God' Yingxia.

Ultimately, Liu Sheng Piaoxu was only in his early twenties at this time, while Zhang Xiaoshan was probably still young.

This seemingly small gap of seven or eight years is actually enormous.

Liu Sheng Piaoxu is at most at the Innate Realm, similar to Guo Jing who only knows how to subdue dragons, but Yingxia's strength has already entered the ranks of the Four Great Masters.

Chapter 196 Fiery Cloud Secret Technique VS Snowflakes Falling on Earth

Upon hearing that Liu Sheng Piao Xun was going to have a decisive battle with the 'Fire Cloud Evil God', even Murong Jiu, who had been studying in his study, came out.

She knew that Hongxiao and Jiangxue practiced martial arts only to maintain their youthful appearance.

Which woman doesn't dress up for the man she loves?

Among the true masters inside the villa, besides Grandmaster Lianxing, Liusheng Piaoxu and Master Mingchen are the strongest.

Even she was curious about just how strong Liu Sheng Piaoxu, who had always been by Zhang Xiaoshan's side as his personal bodyguard, really was.

Inside the courtyard, Yingxia's brows were also furrowed in deep thought.

In terms of sheer presence, Liu Sheng Piaoxu's swordplay immediately made her feel threatened.

The Yagyu family's killing god, who slew the enemy with a single stroke, was famous throughout Japan.

At this moment, Yagyu Hyōshū's swordsmanship had likely mastered the true essence of the Yagyu family, making him a formidable opponent.

Clang! !

The two drew their swords simultaneously, charging directly at each other in a flash of light.

Unlike Yagyu Hyōshū's samurai sword, Eika's sword is a straight sword, but it is not a Tang Dynasty straight sword.

Ding! Ding! Ding...

Amidst the flashing blades and the graceful figures of the two beauties, their swords moved with extreme speed, showing no mercy and seemingly intent on disfiguring their opponent.

A rare opponent indeed. At this moment, Yagyu Hyōshū unleashed his full power. His katana flashed and fell, the blade never lingering in the air for even a moment.

Her relentless, wild attacks completely betrayed her usual gentle and serene nature.

Even those present couldn't help but glance at her, not daring to miss a single detail.

Such a duel between two equally matched masters is extremely rare.

What they saw in the courtyard was nothing but the one-sided slaughter by the bronze-armored warriors.

Moreover, the clash between two masters of Bushido was a pinnacle of the martial arts world in terms of both speed and swordsmanship, making them giants in the martial arts community.

In just a short while, the blade flashed and more than a hundred moves had already been made.

Even the Sixth Prince knew that Liu Sheng Piaoxu's swordsmanship was no less than that of 'Fire Cloud Evil God' Yingxia.

Now let's see Yingxia's Fire Release technique.

This was Yingxia's signature move as the 'Fire Cloud Evil God,' and she had few rivals since she became a legend in the martial arts world.

when!

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, and the straight knife in Yingxia's hand snapped in two.

The outcome is decided!

Everyone paused for a moment at this sudden turn of events.

Everyone knew that Yingxia's martial arts skills were no less than Liusheng Piaoxu's, but they did not expect that as a pillar of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, she did not have a good knife.

At this moment, the Sixth Prince's face was also somewhat ashen. If it were a real confrontation, Yingxia would already be dead.

Besides, in the martial arts world, who cares about these rules?

The knife is the person; when the knife breaks, the person dies!

For skilled fighters of the same level, a good knife is definitely part of their strength.

"Hongxiao, bring me the Tang straight sword from my study."

"Miss Yingxia, please wait a moment!"

Everyone watched as Hongxiao's figure leaped lightly, displaying extremely skillful agility, crossing four or five zhang without any support, and landing directly on the balcony of Zhang Xiaoshan's master bedroom.

Her graceful figure entered the study, which was connected to the bedroom on the other side.

The Sixth Prince and Yingxia, the "Fire Cloud Evil God," both noticed this scene and their expressions turned serious.

She leaped four or five zhang in one bound. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan's personal maid had such superb lightness skills, which were in no way inferior to theirs.

Even in the martial arts world, he would definitely be among the top-tier masters of lightness skills.

"Miss Yingxia, catch!"

A straight knife was thrown from above, and Yingxia quickly caught it.
