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

Even without the legend of the bronze-armored warriors, their power was no less than that of their Persian main religion.

Moreover, this incredibly mysterious Young Master Zhang is himself a legendary master.

The legendary masters are grandmasters whose strength far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Moreover, the Zhang family has another Grandmaster stationed there, so at least one day when they want to test Zhang Yuan, a terrifying killing intent will suddenly be fixed on them.

That was definitely a Grandmaster-level expert warning them not to make any rash moves.

And that Ghost Street also has an absolute grandmaster-level expert backing it up.

Inside Ghost Street, they bought a lot of things at high prices and also witnessed the power of Ghost Yama.

In terms of palm power alone, the opponent's first palm strike was evenly matched with that of the Treasure Tree King, the second palm strike suppressed the Treasure Tree King, and the power of the third palm strike was no less than that of the previous generation's Treasure Tree King.

With such a surge in palm power, how could they not understand that Ghost Yama was also selective in his treatment of people?

This also made them lose the idea of ​​testing which one of the Ghost Street characters.

Even the gatekeeper, the demon Yama, is no less powerful than them. What right do they have to challenge the legendary masters?

"Piaoxu, fetch the Sacred Flame Token that Master Mingchen just brought back from the South China Sea!"

"Yes, son!"

The master liar Zhang Xiaoshan went online and directly described his trip to Southeast Asia as returning with treasure.

Even though no one dared to say anything, which Master Mingchen was a disciple of the 'South China Sea Divine Nun'? Besides, the Sacred Flame Token was consecrated in a Buddhist temple, so it was only conveniently located to come from Southeast Asia, right?

The slight dissatisfaction he had towards Zhang Xiaoshan vanished completely.

They were doing things for them, so they really had no right to blame them; they were truly dedicated and conscientious.

As for the three elders, they asked with curiosity:

"I wonder if the Sacred Flame Token has been purified?"

"It was a success, otherwise Zhang wouldn't have wasted half a year there."

Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this.

At this moment, Liu Sheng Piaoxu entered with six Sacred Flame Tokens. Apart from the color and inscriptions, they were identical to the genuine Sacred Flame Tokens held by the three elders.

"please!"

The three stepped forward, and the moment they touched it, they felt a familiar sensation, exactly the same as the 'Sacred Flame Token' from the Diamond Sutra they had previously held.

And so it is with any kind of calming aura.

Clearly, Zhang Xiaoshan hadn't lied to them; he had actually succeeded, and it was a perfect replica, complete with the addition of Zoroastrian scriptures.

In the Central Plains, the Persian script on the Zoroastrian edict was considered high-class and sophisticated.

Similarly, in Persia, the ancient seal script of the Central Plains was also a kind of sophisticated and elegant art form.

Therefore, even the three Persian elders were extremely satisfied with the sacred fire token in their hands.

"Young Master Zhang truly keeps his word!"

Seeing the joy on the faces of the three elders, the two great treasure tree kings realized that the items were genuine.

"The Zhang family values ​​'reputation' in business. Since we have made a promise to your sect, the Zhang family will do everything we can to keep it."

On his journey to Southeast Asia, Zhang visited Dali and Biaoguo, both Buddhist countries, and was also searching for Buddhist saints and eminent monks.

After all, when it comes to consecration, there's always more strength in numbers.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong. Otherwise, even if the Zhang family exhausted all their resources and gathered masters from both countries, they would still have to complete the final step.

Upon hearing the purpose of Zhang Xiaoshan's trip to Southeast Asia, everyone was immediately moved.

Yes!

Dali and Biao Kingdom were both places where Buddhism flourished.

The final step, if the South China Sea lineage fails, involves gathering the power of holy monks from both countries, demonstrating the Zhang family's sincerity.

Even Liu Sheng Piaoxu, who was brewing tea nearby, would have been fooled if he hadn't known Zhang Xiaoshan's true purpose and if the six Sacred Flame Tokens hadn't been prepared long ago.

Their young master, despite being one of the world's top experts, lacked the demeanor of a peerless master.

"We've heard that Young Master Zhang's martial arts are unmatched in the Central Plains. Would we have the honor of experiencing his skills firsthand?"

"my pleasure!"

Zhang Xiaoshan did not refuse. Wasn't the Persian sect's arrival of three top-level experts to establish their authority and bolster their power?

This is also a tactic he often uses.

How could we not 'return the favor in kind'?

···

In the courtyard.

Apart from the Twelve Treasure Tree Kings and the Three Envoys of Wind, Cloud and Moon, the women found their spots on the second floor and watched the weaker opponents being slaughtered below.

At this moment, the three old men, who appeared to be withered and emaciated, suddenly transformed their aged bodies like rehydrated wood ear mushrooms as they circulated their internal energy. Their faces gradually became fuller, and their swollen bodies were filled with a formidable power.

"Young master, be careful!"

"please!"

Zhang Xiaoshan stood in the courtyard, making no unnecessary movements.

Otherwise, his ranged attack methods would be perfect counters to these unorthodox and heretical techniques.

In an instant, the three attacked simultaneously from the top, middle, and bottom, their speed was uncanny, and their attacks were swift and fierce.

But Zhang Xiaoshan's identity changed instantly; with a leap, he teleported through the air...

He arrived behind the three of them with incredible lightness skills.

From the outside, it appeared that Zhang Xiaoshan had gone in circles, not only avoiding the three men's encirclement but also hiding behind them.

Upon noticing this, the three experts immediately rolled and shifted their positions, surrounding the three who had landed. At the same time, the Sacred Flame Tokens in their hands shone like swords, reflecting sunlight and making the area around Zhang Xiaoshan so bright that he couldn't open his eyes.

This change is outside the scope of the Sacred Flame Token's martial arts, or rather, it transcends the Sacred Flame Token's unique skills, and is quite original.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan still leaped into the air. Under the dense and overlapping killing moves of the three masters, his figure was like a phoenix dancing in the sky, turning and shifting, and he narrowly avoided the killing intent each time.

"This movement technique feels so familiar, but I can't quite place it?"

"That's the movement technique of the Angry Sun Chicken near Ping Mountain."

Suddenly, Liu Sheng Piaoxu explained, and Huang Rong immediately understood.

Moreover, watching the dragon and tiger fight is very much like the battle between the angry rooster and the evil dragon on some other day.

Zhang Xiaoshan's movements were agile and unpredictable, and the three old men's uncanny coordination was like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, insidious and vicious.

In an instant, Huang Rong's perspective underwent a tremendous change.

"It really is that rooster's agility. If it had stood on one leg just now, wouldn't that short, stout old man below have suffered a fatal head injury and been splattered with blood? And before, when the rooster pecked at the eyes, a single finger could have pierced the heart of the tall, thin old man; now, with a flip of its claw, it could have taken the back of the old man's head from the middle..."

Huang Rong became more and more excited as she spoke, discovering that each of these details matched the battle between the Angry Rooster and the Evil Dragon that day.

Moreover, if Zhang Xiaoshan were to retaliate even slightly, the three would either be killed or seriously injured.

Before Mingchen could react, even the Twelve Treasure Tree Kings and the Three Envoys of Wind, Cloud and Moon were drenched in cold sweat, a chill rising in their hearts.

Damn, this movement technique is actually specifically designed to counter their Sacred Flame Token martial arts.

Hidden to one side, Yaoyue and Lianxing watched Huang Rong's excitement. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't fake, they would have thought that this was a unique skill created by Zhang Xiaoshan specifically to counter the Sacred Flame Token.

Chapter 272 The Demon Who Led the Enemy into the Trap Is Born

Bang! Bang! Bang...

The move "Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens" is the gliding technique of the Angry Rooster.

The three Persian elders launched another fierce attack, but it seemed as if they had run right into Zhang Xiaoshan's footwork, and were kicked away.

In terms of leg strength, the three of them were no match for each other.

Even the three foolish men in the arena, knocked back by a single kick, could sense that Zhang Xiaoshan's movements completely countered theirs.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan understood that it wasn't their movement techniques that countered them, but rather the Angry Rooster.

At first, the movement technique could only be described as mysterious, but it lacked the ability to control this 'poisonous insect'.

But as the movement technique was completely integrated into the Angry Rooster's every move, the scene just now unfolded—

restraint!

At the pinnacle of unorthodox martial arts, Zhang Xiaoshan had witnessed firsthand how formidable this skill was.

But compared to that mysterious movement technique just now, it was completely like a game.

Clearly, the strangeness of the Sacred Flame Token's martial arts likely stems from the inspiration of these 'poisonous insects'.

Therefore, in the final stages of cultivation, one often faces the danger of going astray and becoming possessed by evil spirits.

"May I ask where you acquired your martial arts skills, young master?"

The Twelve Treasure Tree Kings looked somewhat excited. Just now, they had heard Huang Rong's instructions, which mentioned something about a rooster.

Clearly, Zhang Xiaoshan's movement techniques were extremely secretive, perhaps originating from the mysterious 'South China Sea' sect, specifically created to counter the martial arts of the Sacred Flame Token.

"If I were to say that this martial art originated from a chicken, I'm afraid you wouldn't believe me."

It's quite strange, the origin of this martial art is mysterious, and even I can't explain it clearly.

However, this chicken came from the border area between Dali and Miao Autonomous Prefecture.

Because there is a treasure land there called Ping Mountain, which can be described as a blessed land of immortals, with countless rays of light.

But that place was also extremely dangerous. In the brief moment I lingered there, I saw a scaly monster, three zhang long, that was neither fish nor snake, and it was incredibly venomous!

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's storytelling-like narration, the Twelve Treasure Tree King immediately looked at him with suspicion.

Is it really a treasure land?

"However, this is nothing compared to the countless poisonous creatures within a ten-mile radius of Ping Mountain."

It's as if the precious energy within Bottle Mountain is leaking out, causing many powerful monsters to spawn on its exterior; one can only imagine how even more dangerous and unpredictable the interior must be.

"What does this have to do with chickens?"

"For highly poisonous substances, there is always a nemesis within a hundred paces!"

These terrifying poisonous creatures all have a nemesis—the Angry Rooster. What we saw at the time was a magnificent rooster about four feet tall, torturing and killing a three-zhang-long evil dragon.

Originally, the size difference between the two was too great; in terms of both strength and speed, this rooster was no match for that evil dragon to swallow whole.

But the rooster, with its nimble movements, completely outmaneuvered the evil dragon.

"Really?"

Everyone stared at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock.

According to Zhang Xiaoshan's description, the monster was three zhang tall and covered in scales, making it extremely terrifying.

But in the end, this wicked dragon was tortured to death by a rooster!

“I have no reason to deceive you. At the time, some indigenous Miao people wanted to invite me to explore Ping Mountain, but I refused.”

"why?"

Based on Zhang Xiaoshan's description, with its myriad rays of light and overflowing precious energy, Ping Mountain is undoubtedly a treasure land.

Not going to such a treasure trove would be a sin against heaven!

"Didn't you say, kid? Even the outer perimeter can breed terrifying monsters like the three-zhang-long evil dragon, let alone inside."

Moreover, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Have any of you ever seen such a generous person?

"Young master, you say this is a trap?"

Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that Zhang Xiaoshan's statement is entirely true.

Such a vast treasure trove—even they wouldn't give it up to someone else. Besides, with ferocious creatures like the three-zhang-tall evil dragon on the outer perimeter, how dangerous must the interior be?

"The treasure energy of Ping Mountain has been leaking out for hundreds of years. Do you all think that if it were really that easy to get in, would it have been my turn?"

"I see!"
