If the other party's appearance features were not so prominent, Yan Ming would not have recognized him at a glance.
He Tieshou, this is also a strange woman who is both good and evil. Legend has it that she is not only extremely skilled in poisoning, but also cut off one of her palms and installed an iron hook in order to practice her skills since she was a child.
For a woman, this kind of act of destroying her body is a huge pressure. What's more, He Tieshou is definitely a beautiful woman, so self-harming is even more out of place.
Thinking of this, Yan Ming couldn't help but take a closer look at the iron hook in her hand, wondering what mystery there might be.
But more importantly, there is a secret sense of vigilance.
The two gold and silver elders of the Five Poison Sect died in his own hands, and the two sides had a grudge. However, in the recent siege, the Five Poison Sect did not get involved.
At this time, He Tieshou traveled thousands of miles to come here from the southern region. He must not have come here to see the scenery. Could it be that he wanted to settle a score?
Yan Ming was thinking in his mind, but he was not nervous. On the contrary, he was also very interested in the Five Poison Sect's techniques of controlling insects and using poisons.
With his current strength, he is not afraid of the opponent at all. If He Tieshou is looking for trouble, Yan Ming doesn't mind giving it a try. Of course, even if He Tieshou is a woman, Yan Ming will not show mercy and will definitely strike hard.
At the same time, He Tieshou was also observing Yan Ming.
Yan Ming's identity is easy to guess. He is still wearing the clothes of an official. This place is not far from Qixia Town, and with the strength Yan Ming has shown...
He Tieshou chuckled: "Who did I think he was? It turned out to be the world-famous Guanzhong Divine Catcher. That's disrespectful."
Speaking of this, He Tieshou said with a little surprise: "Yan Captou is indeed extraordinary. You discovered the little girl as soon as she arrived nearby. It seems that the rumors in the world are true."
He Tieshou said and waved.
Following her movements, the remaining poisonous insects in the flowers crawled out one after another, lined up obediently to He Tieshou, threw a special container towards him and crawled in.
Seeing Yan Ming's unkind eyes, He Tieshou hurriedly explained.
"Don't be nervous, Yan Captou. These are just some gadgets from the humble sect. If they are not on the stage, they won't hinder Yan Captou's eyes."
Unexpectedly, He Tieshou didn't seem to have any intention of causing trouble. Instead, he behaved quite friendly in words and deeds.
"Then what do you mean?"
Yan Ming pointed at the poisonous insects.
"These things are indeed easy to misunderstand. I'll forgive you, Yan Baotou. The little girl happened to pass by nearby. These cultivated poisonous insects have grown to a critical point. They can only find a place to release them and use the secret techniques of the despicable sect to deal with them. Little girl I still deliberately found such a deserted place.”
He Tie's hand pointed nearby: "Yan Captou, these poisonous insects did not hurt anyone, not even the nearby wild animals. Can't they be considered a violation of the law?"
What he said seemed to make sense at first, but the Tongxi Dilong Pill worn by Yan Ming was heating up slightly, indicating that the poison around Yan Ming had not yet dissipated.
"It didn't hurt anyone, but once these poisonous insects were released, the surrounding area was affected. The toxicity cannot be eliminated in a day or two, not to mention that this place is close to a tributary of the Xiliang River. If the poison spreads into the river, it will be a disaster. Infinity, even if it does not affect people, the remaining toxicity here has affected the nearby ecology and seriously damaged the environment of our Qixia Town."
Having said this, Yan Ming took out a small notebook that he had not used for a long time and flipped through it.
"A fine of one thousand taels of silver will be imposed and you will not be allowed to commit the crime again. In addition, you will be monitored here until the toxic effects are eliminated."
"environment?"
He Tieshou heard this word a little strange.
In the past, when she traveled around the world, she encountered many people who shouted at her and killed her.
It's just that they usually do it under the banner of doing justice for heaven, or they say that they are a witch from the Five Poison Sect, causing a lot of trouble, or that they refine poisons to repel insects, and what they do is against the law of heaven, or they just directly kill people. He denounced it as evil and wanted to kill the demons.
But Yan Ming was the first to punish himself in the name of destroying the environment.
In other words, ordinary warriors in the martial arts world have never thought of this concept at all.
"Yan Captou, this fine is too much. How can a little girl carry so much money with her when she goes out? Can you be accommodating?"
When He Tieshou said this, his almond-shaped eyes showed an innocent look, as if he was begging coquettishly.
But Yan Ming shook his head decisively, without any intention of being accommodating.
He Tieshou sighed: "Well, if Yan Tou insists on doing this, there will be nothing he can do..."
"Are you going to refuse the punishment?"
"That's not true. How dare a little girl do that? It's just..."
As soon as he said this, He Tie's hands suddenly started to move.
There was movement at Yan Ming's feet, and several slender worms shot out from the soil, heading straight for Yan Ming like special hidden weapons.
"Hey, I want to see Yan Captou's strength."
As soon as He Tieshou finished speaking, he had already rushed not far in front of Yan Ming.
Along with it, there was a breeze.
It seemed to be mixed with the faint fragrance of his daughter's house on He Tieshou.
One second she was acting cute, but the next second she struck without warning, very suddenly.
Before several worms could get close to them, Yan Ming easily dodged them with a slight movement of his body. At the same time, without even noticing his movements, a few sharp energy flew out and cut them off accurately.
But the Tongxi Dilong Pill on Yan Ming's body became even hotter and kept giving out warnings.
There was nothing strange about Yan Ming's surroundings to the naked eye, but he had already discovered with his Eyesight Technique that when He Tieshou was talking just now, he had secretly released poison and filled the area.
Although He Tieshou acted friendly just now, he was actually ready to take action.
As expected, he became the head of the Five Poison Sect at a young age. His ability to poison while talking and laughing was much better than that of the two elders, Gold and Silver.
But it would be naive to want Yan Ming to fall into this trap.
The poison-repelling effect of Tongxi Dilong Pills means that Yan Ming doesn't have to worry at all.
"Huh?"
He Tieshou who was attacked in front of him was also extremely surprised. Logically speaking, Yan Ming should have been poisoned, but it seemed that he was not affected at all.
This made He Tieshou even more interested.
The reason why she went all the way from the Southern Territory to come here was because of Yan Ming.
But not for revenge.
Although the two old men, Gold and Silver, died in the hands of Yan Ming, He Tieshou had never had a good relationship with the two of them, and even resented their behavior of constantly trying to gain a sense of presence in the world.
Similarly, the two elders, Jin and Yin, also criticized He Tieshou, the leader, and often failed to deal with trivial matters.
Therefore, He Tieshou had no idea of revenge for them.
It was just that after He Tieshou heard about the fight between the two of them and Yan Ming, he instantly became interested in the rumor that Yan Ming was immune to the poisonous methods used by the gold and silver elders.
There are many ways to eliminate poisons in the world. Since He Tieshou is a poison user, he naturally also studies these methods.
But I have never heard of anyone who can achieve the effect of Yan Ming, who can invisible and invisible the poison of gold and silver as if it were nothing.
This made He Tieshou very interested.
Studying a superb poison-proof method not only means that you can learn more about a powerful enemy, but also means that you can deepen your understanding of poison use, which in turn deepens your own strength.
That's why He Tieshou came all the way here.
After a brief confrontation, Yan Ming did not let him down.
The invisible and colorless poisonous gas released by He Tieshou has filled the surroundings of Yan Ming, but he is still not affected at all.
He Tie raised his arm, and the iron hook on one wrist drew an arc in the air and attacked Yan Ming. At the same time, with this movement, more dots of powder were emitted from the sleeves.
"clang!"
Yan Ming didn't know when the sword was already halfway out of its sheath, and easily blocked the iron hook in He Tie's hand, making a metallic shudder.
He Tie's hand moved smoothly, and the iron hook slid down the blade and struck at Yan Ming's palm. Because of the strange shape of the iron hook, it was different from ordinary weapon moves. The attack angle was very strange after being close to the body.
Yan Ming suddenly drew the knife, turned it in his palm, and separated the sharp spikes of the iron hook.
At the same time, the immortal golden body had been activated, and the little bits of toxic powder fell on it, but did not touch Yan Ming's body surface.
But Yan Ming keenly noticed that the protective shield of the immortal golden body was corroded, and the true energy output suddenly increased.
"Uh-huh!"
He Tie's hook continued to advance. Her fighting ideas were different from those of others. She didn't want to distance herself. Instead, her moves were as close as one move, and her body movements were fast. She kept hitting Yan Ming's arms, and at the same time, she moved both hands. , the moves are weird.
The iron hook flew up and down, striking continuously, but the other white palm moved softly, releasing a lot of force with a little movement, and then pressed it on Yan Ming's Qi shield.
"Zizzi..."
It is really hard to imagine that He Tieshou's white, soft and human-looking palms actually contained highly toxic substances, which instantly corroded Yan Ming's Qi, as if a hole was made in the Qi shield, and he poked his finger in. .
He Tieshou is full of poison, so this kind of close combat is what she is most happy to see.
And at the same time as they were fighting, the poison around them was getting thicker and thicker. Yan Ming was protected by the Qi shield and the immortal golden body, and they were already feeling uncomfortable. However, Tongxi Dilong Pill eliminated all the poison that came close to him. It has become very hot.
"good!"
He Tieshou, who was attacking with a combination of palm and hook, heard Yan Ming's praise in his ears.
Immediately, a sharp edge flashed in He Tieshou's eyes.
Yan Ming's sword force suddenly accelerated, and He Tieshou's aggressive iron hook was instantly broken by numerous sword shadows.
At the same time, the blade is black in color and seems to have a sense of suddenness. It is full of true energy and the intention of the blade hits the iron hook.
Even the moment he drew the knife, He Tieshou felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
This is Yan Ming's true meaning.
"puff……"
There was an unexpected muffled sound, and the iron hook on He Tie's wrist was cut off directly, and the curved hook head flew out spinning.
He Tie's wrist suddenly became bare, leaving only a short length of small iron rod.
"ah!"
He Tieshou let out a low cry, and at the same time he felt that the palm of his hand was being pulled by a mysterious force and was swaying from side to side.
The white palm trembled, as if pressed into a vortex formed by an air current.
The sound of Yanming was clearly not far away in front of my palm, but it seemed like it was thousands of miles away.
The poisonous gas spit out from his palm was pulled by this force, and then spun around, hitting him instead.
The subsequent poisonous gas spit out from the palm also stagnated, and then went up against the meridians.
"What kind of kung fu is this?"
He Tieshou was shocked. Her palm skills already included the technique of discharging force, which tended to be soft, but she didn't expect that Yan Ming was more proficient than her, and the use of discharging force and striking force had reached a superb level.
He Tieshou's attack actually reacted on her, but she didn't see Yan Ming's movements clearly.
He Tie's figure stagnated when he pressed forward, and he hurriedly retreated. At the same time, his true energy surged, stabilizing the rising toxicity in his body.
However, Yan Ming's dense sword light has already fallen.
"Swish..."
Just when his peripheral vision came into contact with the light of the sword, He Tie's hand was stung by the sharpness.
Yan Ming's sword skills not only contain true meaning, but are also extremely powerful.
He Tieshou barely managed to cope, but still couldn't dodge.
At the critical moment, He Tieshou whistled, and many poisonous insects ejected from the soil below the ground, rushing towards Yanming desperately.
He Tieshou simultaneously held his half-remaining iron hook in front of him.
After a burst of fighting, all the poisonous insects were shattered by the light of the sword, and He Tieshou staggered back to distance himself.
Looking down, he saw that half of the iron hook on his wrist cracked again, and a knife mark almost hurt his body.
"Amazing!"
He Tieshou exclaimed in his heart, and at the same time he was glad that Yan Ming did not pursue him.
"You Iron Hand doesn't deserve your name. Why is your hand called Iron Hand even though it has an iron hook?"
Yan Ming's questioning voice came.
"My second pet peeve is when people ask me my name and my hands."
As He Tieshou spoke, he twisted his wrist. The cracked iron hook base fell off, leaving only the round broken wrist.
He Tieshou then took out a sharp claw-shaped steel claw, turned it on his wrist, and placed it directly on it.
Yan Ming looked surprised, feeling that He Tie's hand, a broken weapon on his wrist, could be replaced at will.
"What about the thing you hate the most?"
"The first thing I hate is the question you are asking now."
As soon as He Tie put the steel claws on his hand, Yan Ming's figure suddenly stretched in place, and the next moment he appeared in front of him.
It was still the overwhelming force of the sword. He Tie blocked it with his steel claws. This time, he blocked Yan Ming's attack mixed with the sword's intention!
The steel claws did not break as before, but only left some marks.
It seems that this steel claw is a treasure, made of special materials.
While fighting, He Tieshou kept screaming, and soon, following her voice, rustling sounds came from the surroundings.
Yan Ming was also familiar with this voice.
When I was with the opponent's gold and silver elders, I heard these sounds from the opponent's overwhelming poisonous insects.
After killing two people at that time, Yan Ming also captured some of the poisonous insects for study, which left a deep impression on him.
Sure enough, when He Tie retreated hastily, a large number of poisonous insects appeared in the woods on both sides.
There are countless moths in the sky, and there are poisonous scorpions on the ground. Looking at the majestic appearance, they are stronger than the death-killing scorpions of the previous two brothers!
The moth was so fast that it rushed between the two of them in an instant, wrapping Yan Ming in it from all directions.
He Tieshou finally pulled away, the screams in his mouth became more urgent, and he issued instructions to let these poisonous insects attack Yan Ming.
Countless moths swarmed over, obscuring his vision.
The Tongxi Dilong Pill on Yan Ming's body has become hot, making these poisonous insects hesitate to attack.
However, under the urging of He Tieshou's order, he did not dodge away, and a large part of them was still rushing towards him, which made Yan Ming very surprised.
It seems that the poisonous insects cultivated by He Tieshou using special methods can be immune to the deterrent of Tongxi Dilong Pill to a certain extent.
But at the same time, Yan Ming's heart moved, as if he caught something in the air.
Yan Ming actually sensed He Tieshou's method of controlling poisonous insects in the chaos, and he was very familiar with it.
What the other party used to drive the poisonous insects was also the Five Saints Spiritual Art?
