Sword drawn from the constellations, poison as its edge.

Chapter 73 Unleashing a Bloodbath
Jiang Mingzhe walked on the moonlight, his inner energy surging and flowing, becoming more and more powerful with each step. In a flash, he covered a distance of one or two zhang, and in no time, he reached the cliff by the river.

He jumped off the protruding rock, descended the steps from the cave entrance, circled around a few times, and frowned.

The noise from below turned what should have been a tranquil grotto into a duck pond.

Jiang Mingzhe slowed his pace and continued downhill. His vision gradually brightened, revealing a light emanating from the cave and shining directly into the passage.

He thought to himself: This cave is deep at the bottom of the lake, and it is only because the crystals on the walls reflect the lake light that it is so bright. But where is the light coming from at night? Even if Azi and the others lit torches, it wouldn't be this bright.

Just then, a familiar voice came: "Hehehe, the Wuliang Sword family has been a bunch of fools for generations. They've been guarding this treasure land for decades, just waiting for some immortal to dance with swords. If they had discovered this place earlier and learned these earth-shattering martial arts, they would be able to rival Shaolin and the Beggars' Sect."

Sikong Xuan!
Jiang Mingzhe felt a pang of regret, thinking to himself: "Alas, I was too soft-hearted. These bastards actually managed to find it. Judging from what they said, they even found some powerful kung fu. Oh dear, I hope they didn't steal the scroll from Duan Yu."

He instructed Duan Yu to bring A Zi and Zhong Ling to wait for him here. If they happened to run into Sikong Xuan, Duan Yu would be severely poisoned, and Zhong Ling's acupoints would be sealed. With just little A Zi and the Lightning Sable, they would most likely be no match for the Shennong Gang.

As if on cue, he had just thought of Azi when he heard her shout, "You old geezer, don't be so smug. When my master, the Starry Sky Immortal, arrives, none of you will survive! If you know what's good for you, release us and get lost. I might be able to plead with my master to let you go."

Jiang Mingzhe narrowed his eyes. Azi actually used Ding Chunqiu's name to scare people. Has the situation become that critical?
This silly girl, why doesn't she think that if the other party has already gained the upper hand, the bigger her background, the more likely the other party will resort to poisonous means?
Duan Yu clearly didn't understand this either, and weakly shouted, "That's right! I, my Dali Duan family, will not let you go either."

Sikong Xuan chuckled and said, "The Starry Constellation Old Monster is indeed terrifying, but can he predict the future? If he can find such a hidden place and calculate that it was my Shennong Gang who did it, I would be willing to pay with my life."

A hoarse voice shouted, "If you ask me, once the gang leader masters these divine skills, who will the Starry Constellation Old Monster be? By the way, the Five Poisons Sect suffered a great loss at the hands of that old monster. Once the gang leader kills the old monster, won't those youngsters follow the gang leader's lead without question?"
Sikong Xuan laughed heartily: "I love to hear that! Hahaha, what kind of Star Constellation Old Monster, what kind of Dali Duan Clan, they think they can scare our Shennong Gang? Brothers, light a fire, let's suffocate them alive today, and avenge these brothers!"

After the shout, more than ten people responded in unison. Zhong Ling cried out in alarm, "You dare! You dare! You can't let us suffocate!"

Someone lewdly said, "Little girl, you should be grateful. If it weren't for this ghost weasel protecting you, you would have died in a different way, hahahaha."

Jiang Mingzhe snorted coldly, gathered his inner strength, and rushed down the stone steps in three steps. He saw that the jade statue was no longer in the stone chamber where it had been placed. Several Shennong Gang men, holding torches, crowded around the entrance of the side bedroom with excited expressions, peeking inside.

Five or six people were lying on the ground, groaning in pain. It was unclear whether they had been injured by Azi or the Lightning Sable. When they saw Jiang Mingzhe enter, they all exclaimed in surprise.

The group, carrying torches, immediately turned around, recognized Jiang Mingzhe, and exclaimed in horror, "Chief, something terrible has happened! Long Aotian is here!"

Jiang Mingzhe smiled slightly: "The word 'kill' is used very well."

In a flash, he was already in front of the group. He used both claws in a "throat lock" move, piercing into the throats of two people and tearing their tracheas with a snap of his fingers.

Immediately following were the "heart-piercing stab," "abdomen-piercing hook," and "ear-piercing nail," which killed the men in an instant.

He channeled his inner energy to stop the discomfort in his throat, then grabbed a corpse that hadn't fallen, wiping his hands on the corpse's clothes while smiling at everyone in the bedroom.

"Chief Sikong, we meet again! Heh, you dare to disrespect the Dali Duan family? The Shennong Gang is quite bold!"

A glance revealed a jumble of objects piled haphazardly in front of the entrance to Langhuan Paradise: stone beds, stone tables, cradles, stone tables and stools, stone cabinets and cupboards from the circular stone chamber, and even the jade statue. There was also a pile of dry firewood sprinkled with multicolored powder, and several Shennong gang members nearby, holding fans, were clearly preparing to ignite poisonous smoke to kill everyone inside.

Azi cheered, "Big Ginger has come to save me! Hahaha, I told you not to mess with me. Now that the White and Green Demons of the Great Kunlun Mountains have gathered, you clowns will die without a burial place!"

He cried out urgently, "Big Ginger, quickly defeat them and let me out to kill!"

Jiang Mingzhe felt a warmth in his heart, remembering her promise: Since Da Shengjiang doesn't like killing people, I'll do it!

He said gently, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. I've figured it out now. Those who deserve to be killed still have to be killed. Otherwise, who would be afraid of us, the Azure and White Demons!"

Without waiting for Sikong Xuan to speak, he crossed his claws and lunged forward.

Azi jumped for joy, but still didn't forget to correct him: "It's the White and Green Twin Demons!"

Sikong Xuan knew there was no room for maneuver, so he shouted, "Brothers, let's fight him!" He drew his short hoe and charged forward.

The stone chamber wasn't very big to begin with, but the clever thing was that the Shennong gang had blocked the door with furniture, leaving it empty, which was perfect for a battlefield.

Facing seven or eight fierce-looking opponents, Jiang Mingzhe darted left and right, dodging and weaving, deftly evading streaks of cold light, constantly extending his poisonous claws, eliciting screams of agony.

Ah Zi peered through the gaps between the obstructions, her eyes glued to the screen. She clapped her hands and exclaimed in delight, "Bone-piercing finger, excellent! Wind rushing towards the face, excellent! Tendon-severing hand, stone-cracking claw, excellent, excellent! Big Ginger has finally become ruthless Big Ginger! How swift and decisive he is when he kills people!"

Zhong Ling was terrified, but couldn't resist her curiosity. She hopped over and tried to push past A Zi, saying, "Zi girl, don't eat alone! Let me see too!"

Screams rang out one after another, streaks of blood shot out, and corpses collapsed one after another. Jiang Mingzhe's claws flew, and dark blue poison gas rolled around. Fewer and fewer people were left alive in the arena, until only the gang leader Sikong Xuan and the gang's chief protector were still holding on.

Sikong Xuan wielded his short hoe in his right hand, creating a ball of black light, while his left palm struck repeatedly. The Great Protector wielded two broad-bladed short swords, each strike a desperate move, but Jiang Mingzhe's footwork was so fluid that he seemed to transform into seven or eight people, and he couldn't harm Sikong Xuan in the slightest.

As Sikong Xuan fought, he grew increasingly desperate. Suddenly, he cried out, "We admit defeat! The Shennong Gang admits defeat today. If you release us, these three divine skills are yours. Otherwise, I would rather destroy them than let you gain any advantage."

Three gates?

That means that besides the two skills Duan Yu acquired, there are indeed other opportunities here!
Jiang Mingzhe's heart skipped a beat. He took a step back and laughed, "Alright, what kind of divine skill is it?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pounced and with a heart-piercing stab, tore open Sikong Xuan's heart.

Seeing that he had stepped back, Sikong Xuan thought that his words had worked. Just as he was about to take a few steps back to explain in detail, Jiang Mingzhe was already in front of him. He felt a pain in his chest and his strength receded like a tide. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked. He was filled with hatred and mustered up his remaining strength to bite his tongue and spit it out.
