Hundred Step Divine Fist

Hundred Step Divine Fist, as the name suggests, is a long-range fist technique that can attack from a hundred paces away!

However, normally, martial artists before the Innate realm do not have the ability to attack from a distance. This is because True Qi dissipates immediately once it leaves the body. Therefore, Zhang Yunhao was very interested in this martial art and wanted to know how it was achieved!

"Asking for the Soaring Dragon Swordplay is probably impossible. I'll take the Hundred Step Divine Fist then. As long as my own strength increases, I won't have to worry about anything else!"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yunhao nodded and said, "Alright, but you have to give me the manual first."

"Of course, I always carry this manual with me. I can give it to you now."

Huang Lei was delighted and readily took the Hundred Step Divine Fist manual from her embrace, handing it to Zhang Yunhao. Then, she asked impatiently, "Senior Brother, when do we set off?"

Zhang Yunhao took the manual and thought for a moment before replying, "Three days later. I just subdued those mountain bandits and need some time to deal with things. I'll bring six good men and the Raging Fire Mad Saber with me. Eunuch Cao is not easy to kill, so I hope your plan is reliable."

"Senior Brother, you can rest assured. We've contacted many martial arts allies, and we have people in the court helping us. We will definitely be able to kill Eunuch Cao and bring peace back to the world!"

Although Huang Lei was a little dissatisfied with the three-day timeframe, she was overjoyed upon hearing that Zhang Yunhao would bring so many people and quickly assured him.

"That would be best."

Zhang Yunhao nodded. The two discussed some more details, and Huang Lei took her leave.

"You keep talking about the common people, so why betray them? Is her acting really that good, or is there something I don't know?"

Watching Huang Lei's retreating back, Zhang Yunhao narrowed his eyes slightly, but his attention quickly shifted to the Hundred Step Divine Fist in his hand. This manual was new, likely copied recently.

"No wonder she carried it with her. It's clearly a bargaining chip to win over experts. The Southern Heavenly King is truly pathetic to entrust such a person with this."

Zhang Yunhao sneered and then opened the manual. Upon reading it, he was immediately engrossed. So that's how it works; it's not about True Qi attacking from a distance, but about striking the air!

The principle of the Hundred Step Divine Fist is to use powerful force and special techniques to strike the air, forming a qi blast to injure the enemy. Although its power is not as great as a direct punch, it can attack from a distance, making it infinitely useful.

"This martial art can be considered an Earth-grade Martial Art, but it's not complete. Hmph, Huang Lei is really playing a clever game, giving someone a useless martial art to risk their lives for!"

Zhang Yunhao turned to the end and sneered inwardly. The manual only contained the True Qi circulation method, stances, and special techniques of the Hundred Step Divine Fist, but not the most crucial internal cultivation method!

In fact, both the Hundred Step Divine Fist and the Great Strength Dragon Elephant Fist are martial arts that cultivate True Qi to open Spiritual Apertures. Without the internal cultivation method, one cannot cultivate powerful strength. Without powerful strength, even if one knows how to use the techniques, it's impossible to strike the air to injure the enemy!

In other words, this martial art is useless to others; no matter how much they practice, they won't be able to perform the Hundred Step Divine Fist.

Fortunately, Zhang Yunhao was different. The Great Strength Dragon Elephant Skill he cultivated was by no means inferior to the Hundred Step Divine Fist. Therefore, whether or not there was an internal cultivation method was not important; as long as he had the usage method, it was enough.

"I am a genius! Three days is enough for me to master this martial art. My dear junior sister, perhaps your husband will die under my Hundred Step Divine Fist!"

Zhang Yunhao sneered. After thinking for a moment, he put away the manual, then ground ink and wrote a letter with a brush.

To be honest, Zhang Yunhao's calligraphy was quite good. On one hand, he had strong control, and on the other, he had practiced it specifically.

When he was young, Zhang Yunhao had thought about practicing good calligraphy and then copying some poems to gain the reputation of a literary master. However, he abandoned this idea as he grew up—in this world of martial arts, especially in times of chaos, effeminate poets would be looked down upon!

Soon, a letter was finished. Zhang Yunhao checked it, put it in an envelope, sealed it with wax, and then summoned Scholar Lu and Zhang Dazhuang.

"Scholar Lu, take fifty thousand taels of silver notes and some gold ingots to the capital and find the great eunuch Cao Dan. Dazhuang will escort you with some men."

Zhang Yunhao instructed, "When you meet Cao Dan, tell him I wish to be recruited and give him this letter."

"Recruited?"

Scholar Lu had waited for this day for who knows how long. Upon hearing this, he was extremely excited and took the letter with trembling hands. As for colluding with the eunuch faction, he didn't care; it was better than being a mountain bandit!

Zhang Yunhao naturally wouldn't tell Scholar Lu the truth. He looked at Scholar Lu and said with utmost seriousness, "You must deliver this letter to Cao Dan personally and do it quickly. If it's lost or not delivered, you don't need to live."

Scholar Lu's heart chilled upon hearing this, and he quickly nodded like a pecking chick, saying, "Yes, leader. I swear on my life that I will deliver this letter to Director Cao."

"That would be best. After the matter is settled, I won't treat you unfairly."

Zhang Yunhao nodded and then turned to Zhang Dazhuang, saying, "Dazhuang, escort Scholar Lu and protect him. Whether our Good Men Gang can succeed depends on this."

"Don't worry, leader. I'll complete this task even if I have to lay down my life."

Zhang Dazhuang first gave a loud assurance, then hesitated and said, "But leader, isn't this a bit too rushed? We've only just brought all the mountain bandits under control."

Even a rough man like Zhang Dazhuang felt it was too rushed. In fact, if Scholar Lu hadn't been too excited, he would have voiced this doubt long ago.

Zhang Yunhao shook his head and said, "There's a special change of circumstances. Just follow orders. We'll depart tonight. Be fast and don't be discovered."

"Yes, leader!"

Although Scholar Lu and Zhang Dazhuang were confused, they both agreed immediately without any hesitation and went out to prepare.

Next, Zhang Yunhao summoned Raging Fire Mad Saber Lei Jue. He got straight to the point and told him about Huang Lei's visit. "Old man, I originally intended to ask you to deal with someone else, but now we need to kill Eunuch Cao. Are you interested?"

"Eunuch Cao? He's not easy to kill."

Lei Jue took a puff of his pipe and frowned. "The previous Director of the Directorate, Cao Dan's master, once pursued me. His Pure Yang Virgin Boy Skill made him impervious to blades and spears, and he was both offensive and defensive. If it weren't for his poor Qinggong, I might not have escaped."

He paused and continued, "And Cao Dan's cultivation is even stronger than his master's, because he was the one who killed his master. He is truly ruthless."

"Pure Yang Virgin Boy Skill?"

Zhang Yunhao didn't know much about this martial art. He asked, "How strong is this martial art?"

"As strong as it can be. At Cao Dan's current realm, there's only a weak spot the size of a fingernail, which is not easy to find."

Even Lei Jue was very solemn. "What's even more terrifying is that the Pure Yang Virgin Boy Skill has a dreadful killing move."
