Sword drawn from the constellations, poison as its edge.

Chapter 230 Demonic Aura Soars to the Sky
Xiao Feng sighed, "Shaolin Temple is going to fight to the death! Everyone be careful!"

Xiao Yuanshan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Good, good, good! Leave Xuanci the bald thief to me!"

Jiang Mingzhe said, "Brother Xiao, you protect the four of them. Xuan Ci will have his uncle take revenge himself. As for the rest, Ming Wang, my third brother, and I will deal with them."

After saying that, he pulled Duan Yu over and said seriously, "Today, you and I, brothers, will combine our swords. You must not be afraid. Use the Lingbo Steps and the Six Meridians Divine Sword to keep your distance. No one can hurt you. If you are approached, use the Beiming Sword!"

Duan Yu, emboldened, shouted, "Good!"

In this life, he had Jiang Mingzhe's personal guidance, but the Six Meridians Divine Sword was not as unreliable as in the original story. Moreover, he was quite courageous, but he just didn't like fighting and lacked experience.

Now that Jiang Mingzhe had entrusted him with this important task, he couldn't think of anything else. With a shout, he charged out.

But as he moved with incredible speed and skill, the monks, young and old, fell to the ground screaming in agony before they could even see how he made his move.

Kumārajīva proclaimed loudly, "This humble monk has mastered all seventy-two Shaolin arts. Now, I would like to invite my fellow disciples to appreciate the Flaming Blade Divine Skill of my Tubo Buddhist sect!"

With a wave of his hands, the sword energy surged, and another group of monks fell over.

Seeing this, Xuanming quickly stepped forward to block, unleashing his Compassionate Sword Technique. The sword energy clashed with the blade's energy, producing a resounding clang. Xuanming was shocked and cried out in grief, "Fellow martial artists, are you really going to stand by and watch these demons destroy my Shaolin Temple?!"

The assembled heroes exchanged bewildered glances, until finally someone couldn't help but shout, "Gentlemen, listen to me! While the Beggars' Sect's invitation to heroes may contain some inaccuracies, we are all citizens of the Great Song Dynasty. How can we allow these Liao dogs to run rampant?"

As everyone looked, they saw it was You Ji, the eldest of the You brothers and the head of Juxian Manor in Guozhou.

In the early Tang Dynasty, there was a talented man named Chen E, courtesy name Guangrui, who was from Juxianzhuang. This shows that the place has a long history of producing outstanding people and being blessed with good fortune.

The two brothers were well-known landlords in Henan Prefecture, highly skilled in martial arts, extremely wealthy, with extensive social connections and great popularity.

Therefore, as soon as he spoke, there was an immediate response. One person shouted, "That's right! Moreover, that Demon Jiang possesses demonic techniques. If we don't kill him, we will surely be harmed!"

The assembled heroes looked up and saw Qi Liu, a famous swordsman from Shanxi known as "Quick Blade".

This man had a loud voice, and the assembled heroes, looking from afar at Xuan Bei and Xuan Jue, whose fates were unknown, all nodded repeatedly.

Just as these people were about to reach an agreement and launch a group attack, a woman's voice suddenly shouted, "Bullshit, bullshit! My Great Ginger is not some kind of demon! You fools, if you dare to help the bald monk, we, the White and Green Twin Demons of Kunlun Mountain, will never let you go!"

The crowd looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young novice monk with bushy eyebrows and a bulbous nose. He was looking fierce and was jumping up and down cursing.

Qi Liu immediately said, "What do you all say? We should make a decision when necessary. These guys themselves said they're called the White and Green Twin Demons, so they're obviously demons."

At this moment, Murong Fu displayed his divine power, suppressing the Beggars' Clan single-handedly, while Xiao Yuanshan launched a frenzied attack, fiercely battling against Xuan Ci.

On either side of Xiao Yuanshan, Duan Yu darted back and forth, his sword energy crisscrossing, while Kumārajīva leaped high and low, his saber energy scattering, each blocking large groups of Shaolin monks.

The four of them went all out, and even the two skilled fighters, Deng Baichuan and Gongye Qian, were unable to intervene, instead staying with Xiao Feng to protect the four women.

Jiang Mingzhe stood proudly with his hands behind his back, gathered his inner strength, and shouted in a deep voice: "Fighting against Shaolin is to avenge my sworn brother's blood debt from thirty years ago! Fighting against the Beggar Clan is to pursue the revenge for their collusion with Xixia and their false accusations and instigation! In these two battles, the Four Heroes of the World have a legitimate cause. Now that things are clear, if anyone still interferes, I will be ruthless!"

Upon hearing this, You Ju, the second of the You brothers, was furious and shouted, "You devil, what a big mouth you have! You've practiced some evil techniques, do you really think you're the supreme martial artist? Others may fear you, but we, the You brothers, are not!" The two brothers were of one mind, and with this shout, they both attacked Jiang Mingzhe at the same time. Qi Liu and the others who were on good terms with the two brothers also shouted and fought fiercely, surrounding and attacking from three sides.

Jiang Mingzhe raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that these people were really bold. It seemed that he hadn't killed enough people before, and it wasn't enough to intimidate the whole scene.

At this moment, the two heroes of the You family rushed forward, took their shields off their backs and put them on their left arms, each holding a short spear and a single sword in their right hand. They crouched down, shields raised, and charged left and right like two Spartan warriors.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "No wonder you dared to be the first to stick your neck out. Did you think that with your turtle-like ability, I wouldn't be able to take you two down?"

He was determined to establish his authority, so he unleashed his killing intent, throwing both fists at once, intending to kill his opponent by shocking them through the shield.

Suddenly, the You brothers changed their tactics. The shields that had been raised suddenly flattened, and the sharp edges of the shields, as sharp as axes, spun and cut towards Jiang Mingzhe's legs. At the same time, they raised their short spears to stab his chest and swung their single swords horizontally towards his abdomen.

This change was extremely swift and decisive. If Jiang Mingzhe did not change his move, given that his fist was short and his blade was long, he would inevitably be the first to be attacked.

Even with Jiang Mingzhe's current abilities, he couldn't help but praise, "Excellent!"

He leaped lightly upwards, kicking away the short gun with his left foot and the single-edged sword with his right, then plummeted downwards, his feet landing squarely on the shield. With the force of his inner energy, his body crashed down like a boulder.

The two You brothers were shocked. They quickly withdrew their left arms, but with a clang, the two steel shields were already under Jiang Mingzhe's feet.

Eryou shouted, thrusting his spear and slashing with his knife, crouching down to try and snatch back the round shield.

Jiang Mingzhe recalled Murong Fu's technique, gathered his strength, and swung his hand, striking the back of Youju's knife. The knife slashed horizontally, blocking Youju's short spear.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Mingzhe grabbed two shields, weighed them in his hand, and with two whooshing sounds, threw them out one after the other.

The two shields spun and flew like frisbees, and Qi Liu, the quick-wielding swordsman, was the first to be hit. Before he could even raise his sword, the shields sliced ​​him in two at the waist. The shields continued their momentum, slicing through the second and third people in succession...

The two shields flew more than ten feet away, making two loud clangs as they pierced the wall, tearing apart the limbs of more than ten people who screamed and wailed in agony.

The two You brothers looked ashen-faced. They exchanged a glance, and one of them said, "Brother, our master taught us that as long as the shield is there, we are there; if the shield is gone, we are gone."

One of them said, "Brother, we have suffered such a humiliating disgrace today, we brothers have no face to live anymore!"

Having said that, he turned his sword and spear around and thrust them towards his own heart. Jiang Mingzhe laughed and used his centipede claw technique to snatch the weapons from the two men: "Since you don't want to live anymore, you might as well grant my wish. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to have practiced this skill so diligently?"

With that, he reached out with both hands, grabbed the two men, and began to absorb their internal energy. The You brothers, who had not expected to be unable to die, realized that their internal energy was flowing away uncontrollably. They gritted their teeth and cursed, "Demon! Demon! How vicious you are!"

The remaining heroes were terrified and stopped in their tracks, none daring to step forward.

Seeing Jiang Mingzhe's overwhelming demonic aura, Azi felt exhilarated and almost couldn't stand up straight. She jumped up and down, saying, "Big Jiang, where did you learn such amazing skills? Teach them to me, teach them to me!"

Jiang Mingzhe turned his head and smiled gently: "Alright, if you want to learn, I'll teach you. However, this skill is very dangerous to practice. Let me think if there's a safer way."

Before the words were finished, an extremely stern female voice echoed throughout the room: "Hmph, that bastard Ding Chunqiu's disciple dared to learn our sect's unique skills without permission! If we don't cut you into a thousand pieces, where will our sect's prestige be!"
