Sword drawn from the constellations, poison as its edge.

Chapter 201 Fighting Without Hesitation
If it were someone else, they would definitely take a moment to assess the situation before engaging in such a rash exchange of blows, and then decide how to proceed.

But Jiang Mingzhe immediately guessed the other party's identity just by looking at his snow-white clothes, outstanding figure, and especially the way he skillfully and accurately served the wine.
The world of martial arts is vast, and there are many extraordinary people. Even if Jiang Mingzhe had read the original work, he might not be able to guess them all correctly. However, he had just talked about this person with Murong Fu two days ago, so he guessed correctly on the first try.

He was secretly alarmed: "Speak of the devil and he appears! How did such a big city like Xuchang happen to run into Li Qiushui!"

In Jiang Mingzhe's mind, most of the people in the Xiaoyao Sect were a bit crazy, and few of them were mentally sound, especially Li Qiushui and Tianshan Tonglao, who were both unpredictable.

If he were alone here, it wouldn't be so bad, but he has two weaklings, Zhong Ling and Wang Yuyan, by his side, and they are so close. Just now, Li Qiushui's attack was clearly only meant to be a minor punishment, and he almost couldn't withstand it. If the other party were to kill him, he would have even less confidence in protecting the two women, Zhong and Wang.

In a flash, Jiang Mingzhe had already decided on his strategy: strike first to gain the upper hand, and strike later to suffer the consequences!

Before Li Qiushui could make a move, Jiang Mingzhe jumped up, grabbed the octagonal table, and slammed it down on Li Qiushui's head. With a flick of his feet, he sent Wang Yuyan and Zhong Ling flying several feet away.

Li Qiushui was also a bit dumbfounded. Jiang Mingzhe's quick response had already greatly exceeded her expectations, but she never expected that after witnessing her move, he would actually hit her without warning, picking up the table and slapping her!

Immediately, an unnamed rage surged to the top of his head. He stood up, his left palm striking upwards with tremendous force, shattering the table. Jiang Mingzhe swung his folding fan horizontally and kicked with his left foot with tremendous power, forcefully attacking through the flying shattered wooden planks.

Having recognized Li Qiushui, he deliberately did not use the kung fu taught by Ding Chunqiu. This move, however, was a "Green Dragon Offering Claws" move from the Green Dragon Fan Technique.

Li Qiushui flicked her right hand downwards, sending the wine glass hurtling towards Jiang Mingzhe's calf. With a twist of her left hand, she swiftly grabbed the folding fan, and with a gentle twist, the ironwood fan ribs snapped in two.

Jiang Mingzhe casually threw out the broken fan, quickly pulled his leg back to dodge the wine cup, and was about to throw a punch when the wine cup hit the ground and bounced up, shooting straight towards his groin. He quickly swung his arm, his body flying sideways, and landed to draw his long sword.

Li Qiushui casually slapped open the broken fan, turned around, and the two stood facing each other less than ten feet apart.

Li Qiushui's face was covered with a piece of white silk, which hung down from her forehead and covered her entire face, except for the area around her eyes where the silk was slightly thinner.

She seemed about to pounce, but upon seeing Jiang Mingzhe, she was clearly taken aback. She then said with a grin, "Oh my, I haven't been back to the Central Plains for so long. I never expected to find such a handsome young hero as you, with such rare skills. You are truly remarkable. Young master, what is your name? Which school or sect do you follow? Tell me!"

Her voice was already melodious and pleasant, but now her tone was no longer as dignified as before. Instead, it became incredibly sweet. Although she was speaking to him directly, to Jiang Mingzhe's ears, it sounded like a beautiful snake coiled around him, gently biting his earlobe and breathing softly.

Moreover, while speaking, her posture unconsciously changed, her body turned slightly to the side, one heel was raised, and the toes touched the ground, which made her already graceful and curvaceous figure stand out, especially her full and proud chest.

Zhong Ling, quick-witted, was cleverly thrown away by Jiang Mingzhe. She then dragged the still clueless Wang Yuyan straight to the door before turning back to watch the battle. Seeing Li Qiushui radiating sensuality, she was immediately enraged and shouted, "Brother Jiang, don't pay attention to this slut! She's obviously no good woman!"

She glanced at Wang Yuyan and her own chest, muttering angrily, "What's so great about a fat girl who's even fatter than Fatty!" Li Qiushui glanced at her from afar and said nonchalantly, "You little clown, what do you know? Men love women who aren't bad. Don't believe me? Ask these men. Hey, if you were choosing a woman, would you choose me or this skinny little clown girl?"

These chivalrous figures from the martial arts world entered the shop and unfortunately ran into Li Qiushui. They all learned a lesson from Li Qiushui, who forbade them to make a sound.

In the eyes of these people, Li Qiushui's methods were not just those of a master, but practically those of a living god. They no longer cared about her figure or whether she was seductive or not.

At this moment, Li Qiushui used her charm. These people wanted to please her, and they were indeed captivated by her. Immediately, seven or eight people spoke in unison: "Of course, we choose Fairy Sister!" The others nodded in agreement.

Li Qiushui giggled and casually grabbed a handful of chopsticks from the chopstick holder and threw them out. Of the seven or eight people who spoke, except for one handsome young man, the rest all had a chopstick stuck between their eyebrows and fell to the ground dead without uttering a sound.

The rest of them were terrified, and then they heard Li Qiushui say in a sweet voice, "You little clown, did you hear that? But these ugly men dared to make a move on me, they deserve to die."

Zhong Ling was so frightened by Wang Yuyan's skillful and ruthless use of hidden weapons that she stopped talking and quickly hid behind Wang Yuyan.

Li Qiushui looked at Jiang Mingzhe and said, "However, since you are such a handsome young man, I would allow you to have a plan. How about it? Abandon these two little girls and come with me. I will show you what true bliss is. If you serve me well, I will teach you a few earth-shattering martial arts techniques, which is fine with me."

Zhong Ling and Wang Yuyan were both disguised. Although Li Qiushui could tell that they were women dressed as men, she couldn't tell their true appearance. Otherwise, she would have recognized Wang Yuyan at a glance.

Jiang Mingzhe smiled slightly, thinking that if he had met this old hag when he first arrived in this world, he might have had to deal with her. But now that he has all the skills he needs, why should he submit to a young woman?
Seeing his cheerful and proud smile, Li Qiushui's eyes lit up. She thought to herself, "I have hunted down all the men in the world in my life, but in terms of looks, temperament and figure, how many can compare to this man?" She couldn't help but rub her legs slightly and said with a charming smile, "Young master, what do you say?"

Her words, delivered with such force, caused half of the martial arts heroes in the hall to shiver and reveal expressions of utter comfort.

Zhong Ling, a woman herself, found this enchantress extremely alluring. Risking her life, she peeked out and shouted, "Brother Jiang, don't fall for her tricks! What's so great about her? I'll wash your feet tonight, and Wang Pangpang will do the same. Come with me now!"

Although Wang Yuyan had remained silent, she sensed the danger and, suppressing her embarrassment, cried out, "Yes, big brother, me too... let's go!"

Li Qiushui retorted angrily, "Two little clowns dare to steal the person I've set my sights on!"

Jiang Mingzhe's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he saw that Li Qiushui was about to make a vicious move. He shouted loudly and attacked first. His long sword rose up with a whooshing sound, and the sword light crisscrossed, enveloping Li Qiushui!

"Duan Family Sword!" Li Qiushui exclaimed in surprise, then laughed and said, "I've long heard of a dashing young prince in Dali Kingdom, whose character and martial arts are both top-notch. I just regret that I've never had the chance to meet him. Hehe, could it be you?"
