Most of his attacks are with his weapon. Usually a parry is enough to go on the offensive.. Watch out when he jumps in the air and throws his weapon on the ground to create a stone wave (you can deflect it).
Zhang has several attacks that red glitter. This means he is about to use one of the moves that will deal a lot of damage to you. However, you can use this technique against him, i.e. stop.
