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

"Amitabha!"

Not far away, Faming and Fan Qinghui also looked at the raging fire at the Wu family compound, their eyes filled with sorrow.

In two vast and sprawling royal palaces, at least several thousand innocent people perished under the guillotine.

Originally, Fan Qinghui's trip down the mountain was to prevent a conflict between the Zhang family and the Bad Commander and the Miao people.

But what I saw was the scene of the Zhang family annihilating the Wu clan.

Moreover, it wasn't a quiet annihilation of the entire family, but rather such arrogance and domineering behavior that they didn't even give Emperor Wu a chance to come to their aid.

Clearly, this is the Zhang family demonstrating their power.

Let the world know that the Zhang family is not to be trifled with; before provoking them, at least consider your own strength.

"This time, Emperor Wu went too far and thoroughly angered someone."

The Zhang family's repeated forbearance was observed by both Faming and Fan Qinghui.

The Zhang family's business philosophy is to value harmony above all else!

Unexpectedly, what I gained from forbearance was repeated scheming.

Finally, the honest man's outburst left Emperor Wu with no chance to negotiate. It can be said that after tonight, the Wu Tang Empire will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Moreover, this is merely the vent of the Zhang family's anger; the Bad Commander and the Miao people are not to be trifled with.

Chapter 538 If you don't do something, you don't do it at all; if you do it, you do it to the extreme.

"boom!"

A deafening roar of energy erupted as Wei Gonggong, a master directly under the Wu Tang Empire, was blocked by Tie Zhan.

Both being masters of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" at its peak, Mad Lion Iron Battle's unparalleled skill was in no way inferior to Eunuch Wei's half-step Grandmaster level.

Like thunder and fire, the domineering true qi is earth-shattering and unparalleled in its power;

Between their fists and palms, one moved with ghostly speed, the other with overwhelming power. The clash between these two masters attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

Zhang Xiaoshan's annihilation of the Wu family in the capital was an act of extreme arrogance and domineering.

Therefore, even though Zhang Xiaoshan held off Emperor Wu inside the palace, experts from the palace still came to support the Wu family.

Because Eunuch Wei knew that in front of Zhang Xiaoshan, his visit would be nothing more than delivering food to someone else.

It would be more practical to preserve one or two members of the Wu family's bloodline!

He knew Zhang Xiaoshan wouldn't kill Emperor Wu; otherwise, he wouldn't have merely stalled Emperor Wu in the main hall.

Killing Emperor Wu will surely plunge the Zhang family into a real predicament.

Unexpectedly, just as Eunuch Wei was about to go around through the side path, he was met head-on by the Mad Lion Iron Warrior, who had been waiting for reinforcements from the palace.

The existence of Eunuch Wei was not a secret among the major powers.

But at this moment, it is extremely rare for an old man over eighty years old to have such swift and fierce punches and kicks, and such powerful and domineering true qi.

Moreover, it seems that Eunuch Wei has gained a slight advantage.

However, Tie Zhan's physique was as robust and domineering as a lion, and his imposing presence was as overwhelming as a tiger. Wei Gonggong was like a cheetah facing a lion and tiger, and was firmly suppressed in terms of momentum.

The duel between the two masters was a true battle of titans, a breathtaking spectacle.

"Mad Lion Iron Battle!"

The chief guard of the Zhang family business was also shaken when he recognized Tie Zhan's expert.

Very few experts know Tie Zhan's true strength; after all, to force Tie Zhan to use his full power, one would need to be at least a peerless master.

With his exceptional strength that he usually displays, Tie Zhan holds an absolute status in the capital.

“Master Fairy, I felt something was wrong from the beginning, and now I realize it:”

The experts invited by the Zhang family are either evil masters, their own people, or people from Ghost Street. Just now, looking at Qiao Feng's father, the ruthlessness he displayed was definitely demonic.

The Zhang family is known for its wide circle of friends, but it seems they haven't seen many righteous experts among them.

"A murderous blade must be wielded with blood!"

Shi Feixuan's expression remained unchanged, completely ignoring Kou Zhong's question.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziling suddenly realized the truth.

"I understand, the fairy means:"

The Zhang family wiped out the entire family this time, so the experts they invited were naturally ruthless demonic figures, not the chivalrous heroes of the righteous path!

Like the Zhang family's blood-dripping guillotine, they outwardly exude benevolence and righteousness throughout the land, yet still possess a bloodthirsty butcher's knife.

"Ziling is right. It is common for heretics to exterminate entire families."

However, the righteous path is different. If Young Master Zhang invites Cihang Jingzhai for something that goes against chivalry, Cihang Jingzhai will not agree to such an unreasonable request, no matter how good their relationship is!

This is the duality of the Zhang family—they operate in both the legal and illegal worlds!

Kou Zhong nodded upon hearing Shi Feixuan's explanation.

No wonder, none of the prestigious sects that are on good terms with the Zhang family, such as Wudang, Shaolin, and the Beggars' Sect, came.

Not only does wiping out an entire family violate chivalry, but it also involves the annihilation of the Wu Tang royal family. Apart from the lawless demonic sects, what other force would dare to act so recklessly?

Therefore, not only Cihang Jingzhai, but even Wudang Mountain, which was allied with the Zhang family, did not dare to send a single person.

If people from Wudang get involved today, the Wu Tang Empire might send experts to besiege Wudang Mountain tomorrow.

Any force that dares to rebel will never have a good ending.

Even Cihang Jingzhai kept it completely hidden, not daring to let outsiders know the slightest bit.

As for the Zhang family? That's a matter of cause and effect.

After all, Emperor Wu had plotted against the Zhang family first, and after tonight, the whole world will know!

As long as they don't kill Emperor Wu, no one will think the Zhang family has broken the law.

Because of the Zhang family's immense power, they have the means to do so.

In addition, the Zhang family also has overseas channels for refunds.

After this, the Zhang family will retreat overseas, and no major power in Kyushu will be able to do anything to them unless they pay a huge price to completely stop the Zhang family on their journey.

But this price is not something any single power can afford.

After all, there will be at least five Grandmasters from the Zhang family protecting him, plus bronze-armored warriors, unless all the hidden old monsters in the Central Plains martial arts world are mobilized.

Why didn't the Bad Commander dare to attack him directly?

They were wary of the bronze-armored warriors and the Dragon Balls!

····

嘭1

Each punch and palm strike was as domineering and unparalleled as ever, and both Eunuch Wei and Tie Zhan retreated at the same time.

Because Tie Zhan heard the sound of numerous thunderclap bombs exploding, he knew the mission to wipe out the entire family was complete. Even though he desperately wanted to fight Eunuch Wei for three days and three nights, the ships at the dock had to set sail before sunrise.

As the head of the merchant guild's guards, his task was also quite demanding.

"Old man, this ends here. After today, the Wu Clan of the Great Tang will cease to exist!"

"Hey!"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wei knew that the explosion just now was the final signal.

As for getting angry out of embarrassment, regardless of whether he can keep Tie Zhan, if it really comes down to a life-or-death struggle, he will definitely be the one to die.

Moreover, keeping Tie Zhan would mean offending the Jiang and Zhang families to the death.

The Zhang family experts around him attacked in droves, and his old bones were reduced to ashes.

"Your perseverance is remarkable. If I had had your perseverance back then, I might have been able to become a Grandmaster!"

"Hahaha... Father-in-law, you flatter me, but you don't need to take it to heart."

After all, my father-in-law is quite old, and if we really keep going like this, he might not be able to hold on. The suffering doubles with each passing year.

"maybe!"

Eunuch Wei breathed a sigh of relief, showing no trace of the life-or-death struggle he had just endured.

However, no one present was surprised, after all, it was a race against time and saving lives was the priority.

Now that the Wu family has been wiped out, the tense atmosphere from before has naturally dissipated.

However, the atmosphere was still incredibly eerie, leaving both Shuanglong and his novice experts dumbfounded. If it weren't for the life-or-death struggle they had just witnessed, they would have truly believed it was a deep-seated feud.

Finally, as the Zhang family experts gradually withdrew, the atmosphere slowly eased, and everyone hurriedly headed to the Wu family's residence.

The honest man's outburst shocked everyone in an instant.

The raging flames were not only difficult to extinguish, but also emitted an extremely unpleasant odor in the air, which was the toxicity of burning white phosphorus.

The purpose was to ensure that those hiding in the secret room would either be burned to death by the flames or poisoned by white phosphorus bombs.

This made everyone even more amazed by Zhang Xiaoshan's ruthlessness.

If you're going to do something, don't do it at all; if you do, do it to the extreme!

Chapter 539 The Final Decision: The Bad Commander Appears

"Your Majesty, please listen: from this day forward, there will be no more Wu clan!"

"You... Pfft!"

Upon hearing the thunderous roar of the thunderbolt, Emperor Wu was deeply shaken, and a mouthful of blood surged up from his throat.

She knew that the Wu family was truly gone.

After all, she had no doubt that the Zhang family's power could destroy the Wu family; the Blood Droplet assassins alone were something the Wu family could not contend with.

Moreover, no news has come from anyone in the entire capital for so long.

Clearly, they were all tied up.

Moreover, the Zhang family has the strength and the ability to do so.

"In that case, I'll take my leave!"

Zhang Xiaoshan turned and left, extremely satisfied with Emperor Wu's reaction.

Provoking the Zhang family, even if he can't touch the Martial Emperor, can wipe out your Wu family line and make your Martial Emperor vomit blood.

He knew that the Li family's political group did not like Emperor Wu. Now that the Wu clan had been destroyed, it was equivalent to the complete collapse of the core of the Wu clan group, leaving it in disarray.

In the future, Emperor Wu will inevitably face restrictions in many ways.

After leaving the palace, Zhang Xiaoshan did not return directly to the Zhang family, but instead went to the Li family's camp—the ancestral home of the Li family.

Since the Zhang family is leaving, it's natural to make a final farewell.

Emperor Wu was merely a pawn in leveraging others' strengths; there was another underlying reason—

Bad Boy!

If the Bad Commander hadn't plotted against the Zhang family from the beginning, the Zhang family wouldn't be in such a passive position.

Now that they were leaving, the Zhang family had no more scruples and went on a killing spree, caring nothing for the Wu or Li families.

boom!

The main gate of the Li family was reduced to a pile of rubble with a loud bang.

This is one of the Li family's strongholds!

Although several important figures were not present, most of the Li family members were here.

After Wu ascended the throne, in order to avoid being killed by Wu, they basically formed a group for mutual support, which also made it easier for Emperor Wu to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

We either live together or we die together!

If they all die together, Emperor Wu will surely lose all his prestige and virtue, and those remaining members of the Li family and veterans of three dynasties will surely rise up in rebellion!

As for why Zhang Xiaoshan took action here, as long as he didn't wipe out the entire Li clan, it didn't matter to Princess Taiping.
