Conditions

"If Senior Brother doesn't die, I fear he'll become another Eunuch Cao, and the common people will suffer! For the sake of all beings, this time, no matter what, we must have Senior Brother assassinate Eunuch Cao!"

Huang Lei gazed at Tian Ming, who had undergone a complete transformation and was now a completely different person. A hidden murderous intent flickered deep within her eyes.

It wasn't that she, Huang Lei, was heartless, but that Tian Ming deserved to die. If he lived, he would become a great scourge upon the world, and so would Raging Fire Mad Saber. These wicked individuals deserved to die!

They must all be dealt with!

"If I speak of grand principles, Senior Brother probably won't listen at all. I can only use his feelings for me."

With this thought, Huang Lei feigned her usual innocent and naive demeanor and asked tentatively, "Senior Brother, if your junior sister needed your help with something, you would help me, right?"

"How old are you, still pretending to be a young girl?"

Zhang Yunhao rolled his eyes inwardly, but outwardly, he said with a hint of sourness, "Junior Sister, you are the wife of the Great Hero of Southern Mountain. Is there anything you need my help with? If I were to help you, where would his face be put?"

"Senior Brother is indeed just like before, otherwise, you wouldn't be so jealous."

Huang Lei was delighted by his words. No matter how much Blood Hand Tian Ming had changed, as long as he still liked her as before, nothing had changed for her. She could still easily manipulate him as she always had!

"My husband knows I've come to find you."

Then, Huang Lei pleaded with a look of earnestness, "Senior Brother, I won't hide it from you. This is a matter of saving the world's common people, and I need your help. Otherwise, it's impossible to accomplish."

Zhang Yunhao sneered, "Saving the world? What does that have to do with me?"

Hearing this, Huang Lei sighed and stood up, saying sadly, "Senior Brother, since that's the case, I won't force you. Just being able to see you one last time is enough for me."

With that, Huang Lei turned and left with a resolute expression. Her retreating figure looked pitiful, as if it were a final farewell.

"I say, does this martial arts world have an Oscar winner too?"

Zhang Yunhao's lips twitched. He really wanted to ignore her and see what she would do then, but he had been acting for so long; he couldn't just give up halfway.

So, Zhang Yunhao put on a look of helplessness and sighed, "Junior Sister, I didn't say I wouldn't help. You are my last remaining family member. I won't stand by and watch you get into trouble, or how could I face our master?"

Huang Lei's lips curved into a smile. As expected, he hadn't changed at all. She turned back and sat down again, smiling sweetly, "Senior Brother is still the best to me."

Zhang Yunhao suppressed the urge to retort and said irritably, "Junior Sister, speak. What do you need your Senior Brother to do?"

Huang Lei didn't hide anything and stated directly, "Kill Eunuch Cao. Only by killing him will the world be at peace!"

Zhang Yunhao looked shocked. "Kill Eunuch Cao? Are you trying to die?"

Huang Lei said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. We have a complete plan; we're not going to our deaths."

Zhang Yunhao repeatedly shook his head. "Junior Sister, this really won't do. Killing Eunuch Cao is a matter of nine deaths and one life. Besides, Senior Brother still hopes to get promoted and become rich. If I go to kill Eunuch Cao, I'll lose everything."

Huang Lei said righteously, "If Senior Brother is unwilling, just pretend I never said anything. Junior Sister believes Senior Brother won't speak of this. But no matter what, my husband and I are determined to do this. If Eunuch Cao is allowed to continue like this, the Jin State will be finished."

Zhang Yunhao muttered inwardly, then pretended to hesitate for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and saying, "Junior Sister, I can make a move, and I can even bring Raging Fire Mad Saber and the Eighteen Heroes with me. However, I have one condition."

Huang Lei was overjoyed and quickly said, "Please state your condition, Senior Brother."

Zhang Yunhao was not polite at all and made an outrageous demand. "I want the Great Hero of Southern Mountain's Soaring Dragon Swordplay!"

Huang Lei was extremely shocked. She flatly refused, "Senior Brother, that's impossible. Soaring Dragon Swordplay is my husband's family's sword technique, passed down to sons, not daughters, and to legitimate heirs, not concubines' children. How could it possibly be given to you?"

"Do I need to tell you how dangerous it is to kill Eunuch Cao? If you don't give me sufficient compensation, how can I possibly agree?"

Zhang Yunhao snorted and said, "Besides, I only want the Soaring Dragon Swordplay, not his cultivation method. What's the harm?"

Huang Lei fell silent. Even if it were just the swordplay, it was absolutely impossible to pass it on externally. Once the moves were known, they could be targeted and countered!

Suddenly, a thought struck Huang Lei: Could Senior Brother be planning something against my husband?

If it were before, Huang Lei wouldn't have had such a thought, because Tian Ming simply didn't have the qualifications. How could the mere Blood Hand Tian Ming compare to the Great Hero of Southern Mountain?

The Great Hero of Southern Mountain was the master of Roaring Dragon Villa for this generation and the leader of the righteous path. Even if his martial arts weren't the best in the world, they were at least in the top three. Tian Ming didn't even have the right to oppose him!

But now, Blood Hand Tian Ming had become Divine Fist Blood Hand, the overlord of Nanyang Prefecture. Even Raging Fire Mad Saber was no match for him. He was definitely qualified to threaten the Great Hero of Southern Mountain!

Under these circumstances, Tian Ming demanding Soaring Dragon Swordplay might not be without reason. He had said before that he wanted to control his own destiny. Therefore, killing the Great Hero of Southern Mountain and taking back his beloved junior sister was only natural, wasn't it?

In fact, Huang Lei's guess wasn't entirely wrong. Although Zhang Yunhao wasn't trying to snatch back a beloved junior sister, he did indeed want the Soaring Dragon Swordplay to deal with the Great Hero of Southern Mountain!

The reason was simple: the Great Hero of Southern Mountain had already defected to Eunuch Cao. If they wanted to kill Eunuch Cao, there was a high probability they would have to confront him, so he naturally had to be prepared.

Moreover, although the mission didn't require it, Zhang Yunhao really wanted to kill this hypocrite, and perhaps avenge the former Tian Ming!

The two were silent for a while. Huang Lei said, "Senior Brother, Soaring Dragon Swordplay cannot be given to you. You must know that even my husband's younger brother did not learn it. However, I can give you another martial art as compensation!"

Zhang Yunhao shook his head and said disdainfully, "Junior Sister, at my level, I'm not impressed by just any martial art!"

Huang Lei smiled, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, you will definitely be impressed by this martial art. Have you heard of the Southern Heavenly King?"

Zhang Yunhao nodded and said, "Of course, I've heard of him. He's a senior expert. It was because of him that I chose the path of appeasement. Unfortunately, the Southern Heavenly King has no descendants or successors, so I haven't had the chance to witness the splendor of his Hundred Step Divine Fist."

"The Southern Heavenly King indeed has no descendants. Because of this, before he died, he found someone he could trust to entrust his Hundred Step Divine Fist to, so that this martial art would not be lost."

Huang Lei said, "And the person he entrusted it to was the previous master of Roaring Dragon Villa, who is my father-in-law!"

Zhang Yunhao's eyes lit up. "You mean, you have the cultivation method for Hundred Step Divine Fist?"

Huang Lei nodded and said, "Precisely. Senior Brother, as long as you are willing to make a move, I will give you the Hundred Step Divine Fist! This martial art is actually very suitable for you!"

Zhang Yunhao fell silent. To be honest, he wasn't lacking in martial arts at the moment, but this Hundred Step Divine Fist was rather special, and he was truly tempted.
