Chapter 108

“What kind of technique is this? My Five Poisons Palm can even corrode innate qi, so why is it useless against your golden light?” One of the innate masters, who had joined forces with three other innate masters in a final desperate battle, finally managed to hit Zhang Weihao, only to find that his painstakingly practiced Five Poisons Palm had no effect on him at all, and couldn’t even break through his protective golden light.

This is a peerless divine skill created by combining the techniques of the Tang Clan and the Five Poisons Sect, using countless poisons. In fact, in order to master this poisonous palm, he directly transformed himself into a poisonous person. He is a legendary assassin in the martial arts world who strikes fear into the hearts of countless people. Even the Five Poisons Child would obediently take a detour when he sees him, as he himself is a kind of deadly poison.

When it came to Zhang Weihao, his poison palm was completely useless; it couldn’t even break through the opponent’s protective golden light.

Not only him, but also a masked assassin who suddenly attacked and used the Great Vajra Palm, one of the five great Shaolin skills, almost at the same time, agreed that he could not break through the defense.

If they can’t break through his defenses, it means they’ll have to leave their lives behind. The reason Zhang Weihao didn’t dodge is that he knows they can’t break his Golden Light Curse, so he uses the most direct and pure method of exchanging injury for injury.

If you attack me, you can’t even break through my protective golden aura, but if I attack you, you’ll have to obediently leave your life behind.

The other three were manageable, but this assassin who used the golden giant palm and was proficient in Buddhist techniques had a very strong foundation and a powerful physique. He actually survived Zhang Weihao’s punch and palm strike, but was eventually killed by Zhang Weihao’s finger pointing through his Niwan Palace. After this death, he probably won’t even be able to reincarnate.

Because Zhang Weihao had already recognized who this guy was. He was naturally a member of Lin Xian’er’s second-generation Plum Blossom Thief organization, the Shaolin monk Xinjian, a Shaolin monk with a deep and cunning mind, comparable to the Fire-Worker Monk.

If it were the original story, he would soon join forces with Bai Xiaosheng to frame Li Xunhuan at Shaolin Temple, then steal Shaolin’s divine skills, including the Yi Jin Jing, and pin the blame on Li Xunhuan.

He was also a member of the Plum Blossom Bandits, and had committed numerous crimes such as murder, arson, and other offenses. So why keep such a beast alive? He doesn’t even deserve to be reincarnated.

They were almost at the capital, so how could the Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu Wushi not come? Not only did he come, but his three adopted sons were also there, including the two heads of the Eastern and Western Depots, and Liu Xi, an old acquaintance of Zhang Weihao who was the Emperor.

However, Liu happy’s expression was not good at this moment. A considerable number of the eunuch assassins who practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique were trained by him. The Sunflower Manual was originally a treasure of the imperial palace and was meant for these eunuchs to practice. Only he could produce nearly a hundred Evil-Repelling Sword assassins of at least the fifth rank at this time.

If we’re talking about who’s most terrified and troubled by Zhang Weihao’s rise, Liu happy is definitely on the list, so he must have been involved in today’s incident.

As it turned out… Zhang Weihao’s combat strength far exceeded his expectations, so now he was more afraid, extremely afraid that Zhang Weihao would come after him to settle scores. He didn’t think that the other party would really pretend that this had never happened, but was just waiting for the right opportunity.

At first, Zhu Wushi thought it was the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, but he soon realized that it was not the divine skill that Gu Santong used to counter his Absorbing Skill, but another martial art. The main improvement of this martial art was speed, absolute speed, so fast that even his eyes could not keep up.

At the same time, its defensive capabilities are also terrifying, in no way inferior to the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

“Haitang, do you know what kind of cultivation technique this is?” Duan Tianya was well aware of his sworn brother’s extensive knowledge, so he directly asked Shangguan Haitang.

“This is the Golden Light Mantra, one of the eight divine lights of Taoism. It’s just a Taoist incantation, similar to monks chanting scriptures. How could it be like this? Could it be a Taoist supernatural power, a true immortal technique…”

Haitang’s hearing was naturally fine; Zhang Weihao’s voice just now was quite loud, as if it were a deafening, thunderous rebuke. Many people heard it clearly, but not many could recognize it as the Golden Light Mantra.

However, it was precisely because they heard it clearly and recognized it that many experts, including Shangguan Haitang, were very surprised. Wasn’t this chanting sutras?

When did it acquire such power? This speed is so fast it can no longer be considered martial arts.

Moreover, people aren’t stupid; they won’t naively think that this is just a simple matter of increasing speed. There must be more ingenious uses.

Sure enough, after the four innate masters made their move, everyone witnessed a super defense comparable to the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art. Is this the terror of cultivators?

It took less than a quarter of an hour to kill the first hundred or so people, and less than half a quarter of an hour to chase down the remaining hundred or so people.

In ancient times, the main units of time were “shi” (時) and “ke” (刻).

The characters “更” and “点” contain the character “时”, which refers to the twelve two-hour periods of the day, corresponding to the twelve zodiac animals.

The “ke” is not the ten ke that many people think it is, but rather a day is divided into one hundred ke, and a ke is equivalent to 14 minutes and 24 seconds in modern time. Therefore, Zhang Weihao actually only took about twenty minutes.

The term “geng” mainly refers to the five hours of the night, or ten hours at night. It starts at 7 p.m. and ends at 5 a.m. the next day, when the sky clears.

Therefore, the daily routine in ancient times was different from that of today. People generally went to sleep before 9 pm and woke up around 5 or 6 am.

“Point” is a symbol specifically used for timekeeping at night. One watch is divided into five points, which is equivalent to one point every 24 minutes.

This is a general overview of timekeeping in ancient times.

Wealthy families not only had dedicated night watchmen, but also dedicated clocks, so they had a stronger sense of time than ordinary families, especially those families with officials in the capital who frequently needed to attend court.

Because his movement speed was incredibly fast after casting the Golden Light Mantra, many people were dumbfounded. They could only watch helplessly as Zhang Weihai chased after them one by one in no time. Even several innate masters whose movement skills were definitely not weak were powerless to fight back. Except for one who used the Great Vajra Palm and was relatively resistant to blows, the others all died in one move. He didn’t need a second move to kill them.

Of course, not everyone died. The shopkeeper, who had been so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, was still alive, but Zhang Weihai had immobilized him by striking his pressure points remotely.
