Cao Dan

"Not only is he impervious to blades and spears, but he also has a killing move?"

Zhang Yunhao narrowed his eyes slightly. He seemed to have underestimated Eunuch Cao. Even Lei Jue was so wary of him now.

"Yes, a killing move. For an eunuch to cultivate the Pure Yang Virgin Boy Skill, he must first gather his pure yang energy in his dantian and keep it there."

As an elder, Lei Jue knew quite a lot. "This pure yang energy is the foundation of the Pure Yang Virgin Boy Skill. If released, Eunuch Cao's power will surge several times in an instant. At that point, he'll be unstoppable. Of course, he'll die afterward."

"Several times?"

Zhang Yunhao gasped. If his power surged several times, what was the point of fighting?

This mission was indeed not that simple!

Lei Jue added, "If Cao Dan's master hadn't had his weak point exposed and been ambushed by Cao Dan, it wouldn't have been so easy for Cao Dan to kill him. If you want to deal with Cao Dan, unless you know his weak point and can kill him with one strike, or possess divine weapons, it's almost impossible to succeed."

"Cao Dan's weak point is probably unknown to anyone but himself. As for divine weapons, where would we find them?"

Zhang Yunhao pondered for a moment and asked, "Senior Lei, what if I attack him with absolute force? This kind of tough-body technique shouldn't be able to withstand the impact of immense strength, right?"

"The Pure Yang Virgin Boy Skill is a True Qi defense. Let alone immense strength, even soft force attacks can be blocked. It's completely different from martial arts like the Iron Cloth Shirt, which only strengthens the skin and muscles."

Lei Jue shook his head. Then, as if thinking of something, he looked straight at Zhang Yunhao and said, "What I said was about normal human strength. Yours is clearly abnormal. Perhaps there's hope, but I don't know for sure without fighting him."

Zhang Yunhao said with dissatisfaction, "Why am I not a normal person? Do I have an extra arm or an extra eye?"

"You call this strength normal? I suspect you might be a monster in disguise."

Lei Jue quipped, then continued, "Eunuch Cao is not only powerful, but he also has countless experts under him. Killing him is as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

"Great Hero of Southern Mountain and the others have gathered many people to assassinate Eunuch Cao. They should have a complete plan. We'll go there and act according to the situation. If there's an opportunity, we'll kill Eunuch Cao. If not, we'll just run away."

Zhang Yunhao asked, "What do you say? Do you want to participate?"

"You and Great Hero of Southern Mountain are participating. This is a grand event in the martial arts world. Why wouldn't I?"

Lei Jue took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Besides, if that guy hadn't been so tyrannical, this old man wouldn't have had to come out to earn money to save the village. If you pay me the relocation fee, I'll go with you. Also, I want to see if I can break through the Pure Yang Virgin Boy Skill."

"Alright, money is not a problem. I'll pay the full amount first. If everything goes smoothly, I'll double it."

Zhang Yunhao said generously. With Lei Jue's help, his chances this time were even greater!

Three days later, Zhang Yunhao, along with Huang Lei and two others, Lei Jue, and six brave men, set off on horseback towards Roaring Dragon Villa.

Meanwhile, Scholar Lu and his group, whom Zhang Yunhao had sent out earlier, had already galloped to the capital and successfully met the Director-General. Eunuchs are extremely greedy, so as long as enough silver was offered and they had some status, meeting Cao Dan wasn't difficult!

Scholar Lu bowed, presenting the letter with both hands, and said obsequiously, "Director-General Cao, our leader sincerely wishes to serve the court. He has sent me to bring you fifty thousand taels of silver as a token of respect, along with this personal letter."

"Divine Fist Blood Hand Tian Ming, I have heard of this name. But I didn't expect him to be so sensible. Let me see what he has written."

Cao Dan was a eunuch in his fifties, with a youthful face, fair skin, and no beard. He took a sip of tea and said slowly.

A nearby young eunuch immediately went to retrieve the letter. After checking it for poison, he handed it to Cao Dan. Of course, he didn't dare to read its contents.

Cao Dan put down his teacup, took the letter, and after reading it, his eyes narrowed.

"Interesting, very interesting."

Cao Dan gave a few sinister laughs and said, "I've received your leader's good intentions. The few of you who came can go down and rest. I won't treat you poorly."

"Thank you, Director-General!"

Although Scholar Lu felt it was a bit too simple, he didn't dare to have any objections and respectfully withdrew. Once he left, Cao Dan sneered, "What great heroes, what masters? In the face of power, they are nothing more than dogs."

"Before the wise, divine, and omnipotent godfather, everyone is a dog."

The young eunuch flattered him profusely. Cao Dan immediately smiled and ordered, "Go and send the newcomers to the manor outside the city to stay. Don't let anyone see them, and don't let this matter get out, especially don't let Little Wu know."

The young eunuch was startled. Little Wu was Cao Dan's most trusted godson. Why couldn't he know?

However, the young eunuch didn't dare to ask further and immediately went to carry out the order.

"This is truly interesting. The dignified Great Hero of Southern Mountain was caught in a bind by Little Wu and had to pledge allegiance to me. Now, Divine Fist Blood Hand also wants to pledge allegiance to me, using the assassination attempt on me by Great Hero of Southern Mountain as a token of loyalty. Who knows what's true and what's false?"

Cao Dan sneered, placed the letter on the candle stand, and lit it. Staring at the burning flame, his eyes were icy cold. "Whether it's true or false, only the victor will be me. The martial arts world is too chaotic. It's time to clean it up. Who dares to disrupt the execution ground or assassinate me?"

Roaring Dragon Villa was located in a large mountain not far from the capital. It had a history of several hundred years, with each generation producing a great hero. It was a top force in the martial arts world.

The current owner of Roaring Dragon Villa was the Great Hero of Southern Mountain. In recent times, martial arts experts had been gradually gathering in the villa through secret passages. They were all famous masters, and the Great Hero of Southern Mountain's reputation was no joke; he could truly rally a hundred responses with a single call.

However, the atmosphere among these experts was not harmonious. Besides the righteous path experts, many evil path experts had also arrived. The two sides were naturally incompatible, and with them gathered together, conflicts were inevitable.

For example, today, the evil path expert Iron Sword Oddity clashed with the righteous path expert Fierce Arhat. After a brief disagreement, they immediately began fighting. Fierce Arhat, with a set of fierce Arhat Fist, had Iron Sword Oddity spitting blood.

Other experts in the villa heard the commotion and came out to investigate. Although evil path experts often clashed amongst themselves, this time they were united, confronting and cursing the righteous path experts.

It was at this moment that Zhang Yunhao and his group, led by Huang Lei, entered Roaring Dragon Villa. Before they could do anything, they heard the shouting coming from the garden. Huang Lei's expression turned somewhat grim, and she hurriedly led everyone towards the garden to investigate.
