Sword drawn from the constellations, poison as its edge.

Chapter 65 Deliberately doing it
Seeing Zhong Ling's panic, Yun Zhonghe's face became even more vicious: "Hehe, unless you're from the Duan family, only the dead won't leak secrets."

"Ah! You, you, you, why do you keep trying to hurt me!" Zhong Ling was both scared and angry, and almost collapsed.

Jiang Mingzhe clicked his tongue: "Who said she's not a member of the Duan family?"

Yun Zhonghe cackled, "Do you know who this little wench is? We, the Four Evils, came to Dali at the request of her father, Zhong Wanchou, to deal with your Duan family!"

Zhong Ling knew that this person was indeed invited by Zhong Wanchou, but she did not know that he was here to deal with the Duan family. She was so frightened that she kept saying, "No, no, it's not, it's not."

Jiang Mingzhe turned around, and Zhong Ling, thinking he was going to silence her, turned and ran away in fright. However, she forgot that her upper body pressure points had been sealed, and she couldn't turn her back. She immediately collapsed to the ground, crying out, "Don't silence me! You saved me! I...I won't betray you..."

This girl is pitiful. She probably hasn't stopped crying all night. Her eyes, which were originally big and bright, are now swollen like peaches. In her fear, she didn't even notice that snot was flowing into her mouth.

Jiang Mingzhe chuckled, "Stop crying, who wants to silence you? I'm asking you, where is the little girl who chased after you a few days ago and tried to steal your snake?"

"You stole my snake?"

Zhong Ling was stunned and looked up blankly. However, it was dark at the time, and Jiang Mingzhe was talking to him with his head down, so he couldn't see his face clearly.

He blurted out, "You mean Azi? She's a guest at my house. I promised to help her find her junior brother, and she promised not to steal me anymore."

Hearing this from the side, Duan Yu immediately asked curiously, "Brother, is the girl this young lady is talking about your junior sister? How come you and your junior brother were also separated?"

Jiang Mingzhe was very relieved to learn that Azi was alright, and said with a smile, "Actually, she is my senior sister, but according to the rules of our sect, the one with the higher martial arts is superior. I have already surpassed her, so she has become my junior sister. But if I address her like that, I'm afraid she won't be happy. So even though she is my junior sister, I still call her senior sister. Do you understand?"

Duan Yu nodded: "Understood."

Zhong Ling shook her head: "I don't understand."

The two spoke in unison, one understanding and the other not, and subconsciously exchanged a glance.

Duan Yu, being kind-hearted, quickly explained, "Didn't you understand, young lady? My elder brother meant that although that Miss A Zi was originally his senior sister, their sect rules are somewhat special..."

Zhong Ling waved her hands repeatedly: "Stop, stop, stop! You're talking like you're reciting tongue twisters. It's giving me a headache. Besides, my clothes were torn by some bad guy. If you can take me home, wash my face, change my clothes, and give me a good meal, then I'll be able to listen to your tongue twisters."

Jiang Mingzhe glanced at her slender arms, took off his clothes, and handed them to her.

Zhong Ling tilted her head back and said, "Thank you, but that bamboo pole villain has acupunctured my pressure points. Could you please undo it for me?"

Jiang Mingzhe frowned, reached out and pulled her up, wrapped her in his clothes, and seeing that her face was covered in snot and tears, he casually pulled up his sleeve to wipe them away.

He slowly said, "The Duan family's One-Finger Divine Skill is most adept at acupoint striking and releasing..."

After saying that, he looked at Yun Zhonghe and smiled slightly: "Unfortunately, I don't know how."

As he turned his head, he didn't see that Zhong Ling's round face suddenly turned bright red, like an apple, as she stared blankly at his back, lost in thought.

Duan Yu paid no attention to her expression, fearing she might be asking him for help, so he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, young lady, I don't know how to release acupoints."

Yun Zhonghe's expression changed, and he angrily said, "Bullshit! You can even use the Invisible Sword Qi, how could you not know the One-Finger Divine Skill!"

Duan Yu was startled and looked at Jiang Mingzhe. Seeing Jiang Mingzhe smiling with his hands behind his back, he understood what was going on and laughed, "I am Duan Yu. Although I am a direct descendant of the Duan family, I have never liked martial arts. I only like playing chess, planting flowers, chanting Buddhist scriptures, and reading. My father has used countless methods to force me, but I am still powerless. It is a disgrace to my family. I am ashamed." Yun Zhonghe was originally pale with fright, but now his face gradually turned green. However, at some point, a layer of black aura had covered his face, so it was impossible to tell that he was green with anger.

He said in a hoarse voice, "You don't know martial arts? Just now you... you talked about invisible sword energy, weren't you just lying to me?"

Duan Yu was confronted by the victim and felt a little ashamed. He nodded and sighed, "Confucius said: 'Do not look at what is improper, do not listen to what is improper, do not speak what is improper, do not do what is improper.' This young lady originally did not want to go with you, but you forcibly took her up the mountain. This is extremely impolite. My brother and I had no choice but to deceive you."

Jiang Mingzhe said solemnly, "No, my good brother, you had no choice but to do it, but I did it on purpose. This kind of lecherous thief is a hundred times more despicable than robbers and thieves. He is also so skilled in lightness skills. I don't know how many women he has ruined and how many human tragedies he has caused. This kind of bastard will go to the eighteenth level of hell after he dies. I will only be happy if I make him vomit blood."

Zhong Ling felt incredibly relieved when she heard him vehemently criticize Yun Zhonghe. She wanted to give him a thumbs up, but she couldn't lift her arm, so she could only jump around and cheer: "Yes, yes, yes, A Zi's senior brother, what you said is so good, but your brother is a bit bookish."

She said Duan Yu was bookish, but Duan Yu wasn't angry. He just lowered his head and carefully pondered Jiang Mingzhe's words, muttering to himself, "Yes, yes, that's how it should be, that's how it should be!"

Suddenly, he clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply to Jiang Mingzhe, saying with heartfelt admiration, "Confucius said: 'Repay kindness with kindness, and repay injustice with justice!' Brother's words are in line with the sage's intentions, and I have learned a great deal."

Yun Zhonghe gritted his teeth, filled with regret. He was a true veteran of the underworld, with a sharp eye. He could tell at a glance that Duan Yu was somewhat pedantic. In addition, he happened to know some of the Duan family's secrets, so he easily fell into the trap and was deceived to the point of suffering.

Looking back now, if he hadn't been wary of Duan Yu's invisible sword energy, why would he have rashly run away?

Even if he were to escape, with his alertness, how could he be easily ambushed?

Even though he was ambushed and injured, he could have fought Jiang Mingzhe to the death if Duan Yu hadn't been there.

While Jiang Mingzhe's agility was superb, Yun Zhonghe was also an outstanding practitioner. Although Jiang Mingzhe's claw techniques were also good, they had not yet reached the level of Yun Zhonghe's "fierce and wicked" eyes.

"Hehehehe." Yun Zhonghe twisted his head from side to side, a sinister smile spreading across his face. "If you had kept lying to me, I might have really been caught off guard. But since you two let the cat out of the bag, hehehe, today I'll make sure you suffer a fate worse than death!"

Duan Yu and Zhong Ling were both startled and instinctively took a few steps back.

Jiang Mingzhe, however, seemed not to hear him, tilted his head back and laughed, saying calmly, "Yun Zhonghe, why bother putting on airs and scaring the little kid? Just standing here like this, you've probably already used up all your strength, haven't you?"

Yun Zhonghe's martial arts skills are naturally far superior to those of Sikong Xuan and others.

However, if we only consider internal strength, even though Yun Zhonghe is still somewhat superior to those people, the degree is still limited.

Sikong Xuan and the others had already shown signs of poisoning simply by inhaling the toxic gas, while Yun Zhonghe had taken a full-force claw strike from Jiang Mingzhe.

Not to mention the spread of the poison, countless people have already bled, so Jiang Mingzhe is naturally not afraid of him causing trouble.

Yun Zhonghe intended to use the other person's own methods against him, using false threats to scare them away, but Jiang Mingzhe saw through his scheme and was immediately terrified.

Just then, the sound of two footsteps was heard. Yun Zhonghe was overjoyed and shouted, "Second Sister, Third Brother, is that you?"

The "Third Brother" he was referring to was naturally Yue Laosan, the Crocodile God of the South China Sea. Yun Zhonghe's relationship with him wasn't exactly harmonious, and he always just called him "Third Brother." But now, he didn't care and called him "Third Brother" so affectionately.

Before the words were even finished, someone replied, "There are two sisters, but not a single brother, let alone three! Is that ugly bamboo pole talking? Where did you take that brat Zhong Ling?"
