Sword drawn from the constellations, poison as its edge.

Chapter 74 Rescue Incident
Although the Shennong Gang is not a particularly powerful sect, it is not weak in the martial arts world. Otherwise, why would the Lingjiu Palace look up to it?

Moreover, they frequented deep mountains, collecting and preparing medicinal herbs, and their profits far exceeded those of ordinary gangs.

Sikong Xuan has been the gang leader for twenty years. If his subordinates didn't have real talent and skills, how could they have maintained their wealth and status?
Although Jiang Mingzhe's Three Yin Centipede Claws were ruthless, his skill was still relatively shallow. If it weren't for his unreasonable movement technique, Lingbo Weibu, he might not have been a match for Sikong Xuan in a one-on-one fight.

Moreover, there is also the Great Protector of the Shennong Gang, whose martial arts skills are only slightly weaker than Sikong Xuan's.

Jiang Mingzhe, relying on his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), was not afraid of being surrounded and killed small leaders and gang members as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. However, it was far from easy for him to deal with Sikong Xuan and the Grand Elder.

Sikong Xuan was unaware of Jiang Mingzhe's true nature. Seeing that Jiang Mingzhe had not used his sword skills, he assumed that the other party was playing a cat-and-mouse game. He lost his courage and wanted to negotiate, but he did not expect that Jiang Mingzhe, who had changed his attitude, was so cunning. With a simple counterattack, he took his life.

The tactic of feigning one move while secretly making another is a common business trick. Jiang Mingzhe had used this trick many times before to lull his opponents into a false sense of security and win over clients.

It is equally effective in real life-or-death situations.

Jiang Mingzhe struck successfully, then swiftly turned and dodged far away—

He was perfectly clear-headed. After all, Sikong Xuan was a veteran of the martial arts world, and he specialized in dealing with medicines and poisons. Who knew what kind of tricks he had up his sleeve?
Sikong Xuan's final attack unfortunately missed.

Throughout his life, he had tasted countless poisons and medicines. Using the unique secret method of the Shennong Gang, he had developed a venomous tongue. At this moment, when he spat out the poisonous blood, it covered an area of ​​about ten feet. If it weren't for his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) which allowed him to retreat with divine speed, ordinary masters would have no chance to dodge it.

The Great Protector did not avoid it.

Seeing Jiang Mingzhe attack his gang leader, he immediately rushed forward to join the attack, but Jiang Mingzhe disappeared instantly and was instead hit squarely by Sikong Xuan's dying blow.

"what!"

The Great Protector screamed in agony, like a wax figure thrown into a fire. His skin and muscles melted rapidly, revealing a grotesque skull in no time. He fell backward and died, several bronze mirrors rolling out of his arms.

Jiang Mingzhe was also quite shocked by Sikong Xuan's sharp tongue. After waiting for a while and seeing that the two were completely dead, he stepped forward, glanced at the bronze mirror on the ground, and thought to himself, "Isn't this the one that was hanging in the main hall? I felt there must be some mystery about it back then, and it seems that my prediction was correct."

Then I saw that Sikong Xuan's chest was bulging high. I kicked it and found it to be hard. It must also be a bronze mirror.

There was no time to examine her closely; Azi was already frantic: "Big Ginger, are you alright? That old geezer's vomit was really poisonous. Are you alright?"

Jiang Mingzhe laughed and said, "I'm fine, I'll let you out now."

He used his inner strength to move the heavy stone furniture one by one. He was especially careful when moving the jade statue, afraid of damaging it in the slightest and causing Duan Yu heartache.

Azi wasn't idle either. There were many empty bookshelves in Langhuan Paradise, which they had moved to block the door. At this moment, they were panting as they moved them away.

While recounting, she continued, "Big Ginger, thank goodness you arrived in time. Those bastards are wicked! That clown monster led me and that brat down from the cave entrance on the cliff, and we ran into them coming from the front. Without saying a word, they started attacking. I used a hidden weapon to injure two people, and the big rat bit a few others..."

Zhong Ling quickly said, "It's a Lightning Sable! Lightning Sables have eaten countless poisonous snakes since they were chicks, and their teeth are incredibly venomous."

Azi immediately said, "What's the use? They're spreading snake poison everywhere, and your big rat is the first to run away! We retreated here and blocked the door with bookshelves, but they blocked the outside as well, trying to suffocate us. Luckily, Big Ginger came in time, otherwise you brat would have turned into a piece of rotten dried meat, and the clown monster would have turned into ugly dried meat."

Zhong Ling said angrily, "You'll still turn into dried meat anyway, so what's so great about it?"

Azi said smugly, "Of course I'm amazing! The Bai and Qing demons are very loyal, and Da Shengjiang will definitely come to save me. How could I turn into dried meat?" Zhong Ling blinked and was speechless for a moment. She felt that what Azi said made a lot of sense, but she couldn't stand Azi's smugness. After thinking for a while, she said, "Who said Da Shengjiang only saved you? He saved me too, so I won't turn into dried meat either."

Azi shook her head and said, "You're only doing this because of me. If I weren't here, you would definitely be a stinky little brat by now."

Zhong Ling retorted angrily, "You're talking nonsense! You're clearly younger than me, so who are you pretending to be my older sister? Besides, he would definitely save me. When that ugly bamboo pole captured me, it was Big Ginger who saved me."

Azi's voice was clear and crisp, and she spoke very quickly. Zhongling's voice was soft and sweet, but it wasn't slow either. The two girls chattered away, one after the other, and Jiang Mingzhe couldn't get a single word in.

Once everything was moved, Azi was covered in sweat, her face streaked with black and gray, but she smiled as brightly as a poppy in bloom. She skipped out the door, grabbed Jiang Mingzhe's sleeve with both hands, and exclaimed with satisfaction, "Big Ginger, I finally found you! That brat, she said she would help me find you, but in the end we ended up rescuing her!"

Zhong Ling, unable to move her upper body, walked out with a pattering sound, saying urgently, "It was Da Sheng Jiang who saved me, not you."

Azi turned around and made a face at her, saying smugly, "Didn't I come to save you? I just didn't arrive as fast as Da Shengjiang. Besides, we Bai Qing Shuang Yao are one entity. If he comes to save you, it's the same as me coming to save you! You have to accept this favor whether you like it or not."

After saying that, he said to Jiang Mingzhe, "Big Jiang, that day, that brat and that wooden man ganged up on me. The wooden man even shot an arrow at me, and I almost got poisoned to death by her. When you see the wooden man, can you help me beat her up?"

Jiang Mingzhe smiled and rubbed her head, comforting her, "Alright, alright, heroes of the martial world become friends through fighting. That Miss Mu is quite loyal; she even wanted to help me fend off the Crocodile God of the South Sea. Besides, there's a group of people chasing after her; I wonder if we'll run into them."

Azi said curiously, "Huh, I thought she was too scared to run away. So she stayed to help you? Humph, we White and Green Twin Demons don't owe favors. We'll deal with her enemies for her later and then give her a good beating."

Zhong Ling watched longingly from the side. When she saw Jiang Mingzhe looking at A Zi with eyes full of doting smiles, she was filled with envy. She pouted and turned her head away. Suddenly, she saw that Duan Yu had fainted at some point and immediately exclaimed, "Oh no! That little rascal seems to be dead!"

Jiang Mingzhe was startled and rushed into the inner room, exclaiming, "Senior Sister, didn't you help him detoxify?"

Azi said nonchalantly, "I didn't think about it on the way. When we got here, we started fighting as soon as we got off. I didn't have time to think about it. But he was just talking. How could he die so quickly?"

Jiang Mingzhe reached out and checked Duan Yu's breath. He found a faint breath and quickly said, "Senior Sister, this man is my sworn brother. He's a very good person. Please help me save him."

Azi glared at him and said, "You've only been away from me for a short time, and you've already become sworn brothers with someone. The world of martial arts is treacherous, and people don't wear their good or bad intentions on their faces. How do you know he's a good person?"

Jiang Mingzhe said urgently, "He taught me my lightness skill. He's really a good brother."

Azi was immediately surprised by Jiang Mingzhe's superb lightness skill and exclaimed, "He's willing to teach you such lightness skill, he really is a good person. Alas, good people are always bullied. Look, he's been poisoned to death!"

Despite his constant chatter, he had already squatted down, examined Duan Yu's eyes, and felt his pulse. After a flurry of activity, he frowned and said, "It's not going to be easy to save him. The poison has seeped into his internal energy and is entangled in his meridians. Medicine is ineffective unless you use a method similar to how you saved me last time to absorb the poison coursing through his meridians. But I don't want you to take the risk again."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingzhe's expression brightened, and he laughed, "Senior Sister, you may not know this, but the poison in his body is the result of me injuring Yun Zhonghe with my poisonous claws, which Yun Zhonghe then sent into his body. It is the centipede venom that I have refined, so there is no danger in absorbing it."

After saying that, he pulled Duan Yu up and arranged him in a cross-legged position. He sat down next to Duan Yu, tore open his clothes, pressed the Mingmen and Qihai acupoints, regulated his breathing, and slowly injected his internal energy into Duan Yu's Mingmen acupoint. He planned to circulate the energy through Duan Yu's body, carrying the poison, and return to his own body through the Qihai acupoint, just like when he saved A Zi last time.

However, when Jiang Mingzhe channeled his internal energy to Duan Yu's Ren meridian and Tanzhong acupoint, a sudden change occurred!

He felt as if Duan Yu's Tanzhong acupoint had turned into a black hole, swallowing his internal energy in one gulp. Then the black hole turned into a vortex, and Jiang Mingzhe's internal energy rolled forward uncontrollably, unable to stop even if he wanted to!
