Sword drawn from the constellations, poison as its edge.

Chapter 161 Tracking Down Nan Murong

At this moment, in the apricot grove, the Beggars' Sect had gained a significant advantage.

Although the warriors of Yipintang were all handpicked elites, their numbers were still somewhat small, and their experience in martial arts battles was insufficient to match the Beggar Clan disciples' endless tricks.

For example, in the middle of a fight, suddenly pulling out a snake and throwing it at the opponent, or spitting out a wad of phlegm, are all common tactics.

Moreover, these Beggars' Sect disciples are all key members of the sect, each possessing unique skills.

Those with high martial arts skills would engage in one-on-one combat with the enemy, while those with lower skills would form a dog-beating formation, charging forward in rows while chanting lotus ballads, serving as both noise harassment and battlefield communication.

Then they heard someone singing: "Brothers from the south come begging for food, the food here tastes delicious..."

It means that the enemy on this side couldn't hold out any longer, and they were caught in a pincer movement from both sides.

The other side responded in kind: "The dogs to the west bite fiercely, seven yellow and three black dogs charge side by side..."

It means the enemy here is tough; there are seven skilled fighters and three expert fighters. We can't take them down. We need to send more people to help.

At the expert level, the six elders of the Beggars' Sect are all top-notch fighters. In addition, Shan Zheng, Tan Gong and Tan Po, and Zhao Qiansun are also well-known masters in the martial arts world. In terms of strength, they are not inferior to their opponents.

In the original story, the Four Villains caused a ruckus in Dali and subsequently joined the Yipintang.

But now, with only one Duan left after being killed by Jiang Mingzhe, he has disappeared somewhere to recuperate, so this part is naturally forgotten.

Although there were several experts like the Nine-Winged Taoist, the Beggars' Sect also had Jiang Mingzhe's assistance.

With the Lingbo skill activated, one can move freely in and out of the enemy ranks; one can rely on the sword for single kills and use poison in group battles!
Jiang Mingzhe unleashed his lightness skill, and no one in the entire arena could outrun him. His unique swordsmanship was fierce and powerful, and coupled with his profound internal strength, he was virtually invincible. If an enemy surrounded him, he would unleash the poison gas, and no matter how many came, they would be sent to their deaths.

As the fighting progressed, wherever Jiang Mingzhe went, everyone scrambled to avoid him.

At this point, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt. A few skilled fighters scattered and fled, pursued by the Beggars' Sect masters. The remaining fighters could not even escape and struggled desperately to hold on.

Jiang Mingzhe had no intention of easily defeating his opponent, so he sheathed his sword. A Beggar Clan disciple dug out a sword fan for him and presented it to him with both hands. Jiang Mingzhe took it and put it into his sword box. As he was thanking him, he heard A Zi's cry. He quickly used his lightness skill to rush over, grabbed her, and looked her up and down. Seeing that she was not injured, he was relieved.

He asked, "Who's pursuing you?"

At this moment, Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling also arrived. Azi chattered on and on, telling the story of what had just happened: "...It's hilarious! That person is so stupid. He saw my move and assumed it was the One-Finger Divine Skill. Hehe, little did he know it was my own Poison Finger, which uses the poison technique from the Tribulation Crossing Scripture. Alas, what a pity! If I had practiced the Thousand Spider Poison Hand, he would have been crippled if he dared to let me poke him like that!"

His face was like a zombie's, his tone was strange, his knife skills were superb, his knowledge was profound... well, he was also annoyingly glib-tongued?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingzhe immediately realized that it could only be Murong Fu, who had disguised himself and infiltrated Yipintang.

In his mind, Murong Fu was not interested in women, so he should have nothing to do with the word "greasy".

But then I thought, if Murong Fu wanted to be the son-in-law of the Western Xia, why didn't he want to be the son-in-law of the Dali?

Although Azi is a princess, her father is the Crown Prince, and he will become emperor sooner or later. Moreover, Azi and the other girls are beautiful, so how could Murong Fu not be tempted?
However, it's unclear where Murong Fu's skill points were invested; in any case, picking up girls was definitely not his forte.

He probably wanted to say a few charming and dashing words to win the hearts of young girls, but he didn't say them well and instead made the three girls hate him even more.

She smiled and asked, "Didn't Azhu and Abi help?"

Zhong Ling interjected, "They won't help! The Xixia dogs are so powerful, they're terrified! Only we sisters would risk our lives to help!"

After saying this, she was very pleased with herself. She thought to herself, "If I say it once today, once tomorrow, and once every day, sooner or later we will be sure that we are "sisters". Then, the wooden man will go to burn firewood and cook, the purple girl will go to fetch water to wash her feet, and I will accompany Brother Jiang to laugh and giggle!"
Azi glared at her and said sullenly, "Their martial arts are probably very weak. How could they possibly get involved in such a big battle? It's no wonder they're not involved... Huh?"

As Azi spoke, she subconsciously turned her head to look, but there was no sign of Azhu and the others.
Mu Wanqing said unhappily, "These people left without even saying goodbye. Those two women even took the elixir that Azi gave them, and Azi also helped the two men detoxify. They have no conscience!"

Ah Zi looked depressed after hearing this.

Earlier, Duan Yu had found the antidote for the "Sad Breeze" poison in Helian Tieshu's bosom, but he didn't know how to use it. It was A'Zi who studied it for a while and concluded that since the medicine was so foul-smelling, it was likely an antidote that worked by its smell. Bao Butong and Feng Bo had to endure the stench for a while before they were successfully cured. Seeing this little vixen showing a rare vulnerable and distressed expression, Zhong Ling quickly added insult to injury, saying, "That's right, that's right, how unfair! Humph, Zi'er would rather give the medicine to outsiders than to her own sisters. Now you see who's good to you, right?"

Azi shook her head and said, "I don't think Sister Azhu is such a disloyal person. Ah, I understand!"

She clapped her hands excitedly, "Oh no! She must have been kidnapped by that Xia dog! Big Ginger, will you come with me to rescue her?"

Jiang Mingzhe laughed and said, "Alright, but you don't want the Five Elements Scorpion that the Beggars' Sect promised to give you?"

Azi hesitated slightly. The battle was not yet over, and the elders had disappeared. If she wanted the scorpion, she would have to wait until the Beggars' Sect won a great victory and everyone returned.

"Forget it, saving lives is the priority!" Azi stamped her foot and gritted her teeth, "Save the people first, then I'll ask them for the scorpion. I don't believe they dare not give it to me."

Jiang Mingzhe was secretly amazed, thinking that this was truly a bond between blood relatives. He never expected that Azi cared so much about Azhu.

The one who dug out the sword fan for Jiang Mingzhe was a disciple with five bags. Jiang Mingzhe said to him, "Brother, please tell Chief Lü that we are going to rescue someone and we are leaving now. Please keep Elder Chen's scorpion for my senior sister. We will come back to get it later."

The five disciples nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Mingzhe called out, "Third brother, come quickly!"

A moment later, Duan Yu appeared with a whoosh, his face full of excitement, eager to show off his achievements: "Second Brother, it turns out that I have the talent to be a military general. Did you see me just now, charging in and out seven times?"

Jiang Mingzhe asked in surprise, "How many people did you kill?"

Duan Yu quickly shook his head and said cheerfully, "I won't kill them. I'll just knock their weapons away, and then the Beggars' Sect disciples will kill them."

Ah Zi cried out, "Ah Bi has been kidnapped by bad guys!"

Duan Yu was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "Ah, I killed him! Where is the bad guy?"

Azi pointed, and Duan Yu darted out with a whoosh, using his Lingbo Weibu technique at full power, disappearing from sight in a moment.

Jiang Mingzhe, fearing for his safety, hurriedly tried to give chase, but Azi, remembering his amazing lightness skill, quickly called out, "The Bai and Qing demons came together, I'll go with you!"

She grabbed Jiang Mingzhe's forearm and bent it to form a right angle with his upper arm, then jumped lightly and sat on Jiang Mingzhe's forearm.

With one hand on Jiang Mingzhe's shoulder, he kicked his legs merrily and urged repeatedly, "Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

Mu Wanqing's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected Azi to do something like this. Her mind was still a bit fuzzy, but she had already instinctively grabbed Jiang Mingzhe's left arm and jumped up to sit on it. Only then did she realize what was happening, and blushed as she said, "The Black and White Duo are just average!"

Jiang Mingzhe was both amused and exasperated. This was not the future, where hugging and kissing in the street was commonplace. Girls in this era rarely acted so freely.

However, Azi was born into the Xingxiu Sect and was naturally clever and mischievous. Mu Wanqing, on the other hand, only cared about the person she liked. Now, the two sisters were paired up, sitting on his arms on either side, which was truly shocking!
Fortunately, with his current skill level, the combined weight of the two girls, around 100 pounds, wasn't much of a problem. He shook his head and sighed, "Alright, alright, Miss Zhong..."

He wanted to say, "Miss Zhong, please follow us slowly. We'll wait for you up ahead."

Unexpectedly, Zhong Ling immediately said, "Brother Jiang, are you asking me to come up too? Okay, okay, sisters, we're of one mind. I can't leave Zi Ya Tou and Mu Tou Ren behind!"

He jumped straight onto his back, put his arm around Jiang Mingzhe's shoulder, and said with a grin, "Saving lives is urgent, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Azi glared at Zhong Ling, about to send her away, when Jiang Mingzhe, unable to bear the shocked and envious looks from the surrounding beggars, took a step and flashed away, the wind rushing past his ears.

The three women were all surprised by his speed. They exclaimed in unison and instinctively hugged Jiang Mingzhe tightly. The girls looked at each other, feeling both shy and excited.

Although Jiang Mingzhe brought three people with him, he was still incredibly fast and caught up with Duan Yu in no time. Fortunately, there was only one road here, so he wasn't afraid of getting lost. He ran for more than ten miles in one breath. Under a big tree by the roadside, several people were standing and talking. It was A Zhu and the others, surrounding a young man in a blue robe.
