Chapter 1214: Chapter 1214

In another direction aboard the Empress, Xu Chihu rarely showed a trace of a smile on his face.

Mercy doesn't command soldiers, righteousness doesn't manage wealth.

He was able to establish such a vast foundation in the South Ocean because he was a ruthless and cunning individual.

Although Zhang Xiaoshan had been kind to him, when he repaid Zhang Xiaoshan's kindness with enmity, he felt not an ounce of guilt in his heart.

The only thing he valued was profit.

As for morality, etiquette, justice, and integrity, those were things that did not help him increase reputation, expand power, or improve strength.

He simply did not care; he wouldn't have before, he doesn't now, and he won't ever.

"This kid is finished."

Xu Chihu looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, who was scrutinized by Blood Slaughter, and made a final judgment on Zhang Xiaoshan.

Behind him, the expressions of Aunt Gui and Sister Mei differed.

Although Aunt Gui also disliked Zhang Xiaoshan, she didn't hate him to the extreme.

Sister Mei was different; she had a preconceived negative impression of Zhang Xiaoshan.

She found Zhang Xiaoshan displeasing no matter how she looked at him.

"This person deserves no pity in death."

"It's just a pity that he ruined Young Master Xiang Yiyang."

"Had he not disrupted things, Young Master Xiang Yiyang would already be with the young lady by now."

"The two of them, perfectly matched in talent and appearance, were truly a match made in heaven."

"With the alliance through marriage with Hongmen, the influence of my senior brother in the South Ocean and other seas would surely elevate to another level."

It would have been fine if Sister Mei hadn't mentioned it, but upon her mentioning it, Xu Chihu became infuriated.

He had indeed both succeeded and failed because of Zhang Xiaoshan.

Zhang Xiaoshan gave him a chance for a comeback but also shattered the greatest opportunity on his path to rise.

Thinking of this, Xu Chihu's gaze turned cold.

He felt no sympathy or regret for Zhang Xiaoshan, only hoping that his Blood Slaughter senior brother could quickly end it all.

Not only Xu Chihu was convinced that everything was over.

The big shots aboard the Empress, the various cultivators, all believed that today's matters would be settled and completely concluded.

However, this thought didn't last long in the minds of everyone.

Because at that moment, a scene unfolded that left everyone deeply shocked, incredibly stunned.

Zhang Xiaoshan's figure, unexpectedly, at this moment, ascended to the heavens using the technique of Divine People Stepping in the Air! ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥

With each step, he tread on the void, causing ripples to spread in the air.

With each heavy step, his entire body was infused with pure and condensed, mighty True Qi, pouring into the seawater below.

With each step he took, a large amount of beneficial water intertwined flexibly, constantly integrating and transforming.

As he ascended step by step, the seawater below unexpectedly condensed into a Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image!

The scale of the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image he condensed was not a bit weaker than Blood Slaughter's Blood Tiger Dharma Image!

"Master Zhang didn't exert his full strength earlier!"

Seeing this, Zhou Shengtan, a fellow Divine Realm expert, was so shocked that he abruptly stood up.

Even a Divine Realm expert like Zhou Shengtan was deeply shocked.

The shock felt by others was imaginable!

"Master Zhang was just testing the waters before, not using his true skills!"

"The aura of this Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image is completely on par with the Blood Tiger Dharma Image!"

Aboard the Empress, the big shots continually exclaimed in surprise.

The gaze of everyone towards Zhang Xiaoshan turned extremely respectful, extremely excited.

The disciples of Blood Slaughter once swept through the Huaxia Practitioner World.

If it weren't for the Great Grandmaster Ye Beixiong holding the line in Huaxia, Huaxia practitioners would have been utterly crushed like Northern Europe practitioners by this master-disciple duo!

Now, witnessing a rising star in the Huaxia Practitioner World, someone even able to challenge Blood Slaughter, how could the gathered big shots and cultivators not be excited, not be thrilled?

The only ones not too pleased on the scene were Xu Chihu, Second Young Master Shen, and the people from Zhenwu Hall.

These people were evidently on the opposing side of Zhang Xiaoshan.

Not to mention them; even the sneer on Blood Slaughter Master's face faded a bit.

Though his face still carried a mocking and playful expression, he nodded to Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Not bad! You are very impressive!"

"At such a young age, you've mastered True Qi to a profound state of ease in heft, and heft in ease."

"Your talent is in no way inferior to Yiyang, perhaps even better by a notch!"

"The overseas Hongmen has thrived through continuous inheritance and order."

"With your talent, so long as you sincerely repent and spend the rest of your life atoning, serving my Hongmen."

"I can plead with the master to spare your life."

"Otherwise, today you can only die here."

Blood Slaughter Master initially intended to outright eliminate Zhang Xiaoshan.

But now, he changed his mind.

The exceptional talent of Zhang Xiaoshan, not to mention everyone aboard the Empress, even Blood Slaughter himself felt incredibly impressed!

To kill such an outstanding young man right away would be a pity.
