In the entire Jianghu, who else but the people of the Isle of Heroes could have such high Kung Fu but were Nameless?
Song Qingshu had seen Zhang San and Li Si's Kung Fu before, and they were only slightly weaker than the Five Masters. Their positions were similar to these masked men in black, so they must also be Messengers of Good and Evil.
Song Qingshu looked around and didn't see Zhang San and Li Si among the masked men. Although they were masked, with Zhang San's wide and plump physique and Li Si's special aura that was like profound ice, even a mask couldn't conceal their appearance.
He quickly felt relieved. Zhang San and Li Si were the representatives of the Isle of Heroes, after all. Jia Shidao was worried that people would find out about his relationship with the Isle of Heroes, so he sent some Messengers of Good and Evil, who had never appeared in the Jianghu, to carry out this mission.
Looking at the eighteen masters who were close to the Five Masters, Song Qingshu couldn't help but sigh. No wonder even the Vajra Faction Master and the Xuanming Elders were in trouble. Jia Shidao was really generous.
While he was deep in thought, the leader of the men in black gave an order, "Capture two women alive."
As soon as he said that, a few men in black jumped toward Zhou Zhiruo and Indigo Phoenix. Zhou Zhiruo shouted and unsheathed her sword to fight the enemies.
She had learned her lesson. Although the temple wasn't small, it wasn't big. She couldn't use her long whip, so she used her sword.
Seeing that there were four men in black rushing toward Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Min couldn't help but worry for her. These people were very skilled at Kung Fu, but they didn't care about the rules of the Jianghu at all. They swarmed their enemies without caring about numbers, unlike the Vajra Faction Master and Priest Baisu.
In terms of real power, Zhou Zhiruo was at most the same level as one of the men in black. It was more than enough for four masters of the same level to attack her.
The four of them were obviously thinking the same thing. They attacked her from the front, back, left, and right. Not only did they attack her vitals, they also sealed off all her escape routes. Just as they were about to capture her, a cold glint suddenly blossomed in front of them. The four of them were shocked and hurriedly retreated. Looking at the bloody wound on their chests, they all turned pale with fright.
"Sky-sword?" One of them said in a hoarse voice as he looked at the sharp sword in Zhou Zhiruo's hand that gleamed with a cold light. It had to be known that at their level of martial arts, their bare hands were enough to deal with most weapons. If an ordinary person were to use a sharp sword to clash with their bare hands, the sword would instead be shattered by their internal energy. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Sword was no ordinary metal, and Zhou Zhiruo's internal energy was not much different from theirs. Thus, as they were caught off guard, the four of them instantly suffered serious injuries.
It was a pity that Indigo Phoenix wasn't so lucky. She grabbed a handful of poisonous powder and threw it into the fire when she saw two black figures pouncing towards her. The fire burst into a dazzling flame. Coupled with the pungent poisonous smoke, one of the black figures had no choice but to retreat. Unfortunately, the man in black who was pouncing towards her from the other direction, Indigo Phoenix couldn't avoid him. Her Clavicle Acupoint was instantly blocked by him.
Indigo Phoenix used the same trick again. A small green snake instantly shot towards the man's throat. A huge poisonous spider took the opportunity to climb onto the back of the man's hand. Initially, they thought that the man would be frightened to the point of losing his head. Who knew that the man would extend his fingers to block in front of his body, catching the small green snake that was as fast as lightning. The small green snake twisted its body and tried to bite him. The man laughed sinisterly and used his Kung Fu to clamp the small green snake to death.
After throwing the little green snake's corpse into the fire, the man looked at the big furry spider on the back of his hand, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. He directly slapped the spider to death on the back of his hand.
Indigo Phoenix was dumbfounded. One had to know that the spider was meticulously cultivated by the Five Venoms Order. It was extremely poisonous. How could he kill it just like that? There were no signs of poisoning at all. How was that possible?
It turned out that the people of the Isle of Heroes were highly skilled in martial arts. Other than gaining enlightenment from the vast Taixuan Sutra, they also knew how to use medicine to aid in the cultivation of their inner energy. Some of the Messengers of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil practiced the Yang path of inner energy. Some of them practiced the Yin path of inner energy because the cultivation of inner energy was too strange and dangerous. Hence, they had to rely on medicine to aid in their cultivation.
Although the group of people in black was masked, there was an obvious characteristic on their bodies. They all had a gourd hanging on their waists. Some of them had a red gourd hanging on their waists while some had a blue gourd hanging on their waists. These gourds contained the medicine wine.
In the vermilion gourd was a strong medicinal wine that was extremely dry and hot. It was made by adding the 'Fierce Fire Pill' into the wine. In the blue gourd was a cool medicinal wine that was extremely cold and cold. It was made by mixing the 'Nine Nine Pills' into the wine. The Fiery Pill and the Nine Nine Pills contained many elixirs. The Nine Nine Pills contained nine types of poisonous herbs. The Fiery Pill contained fewer poisonous herbs. However, it contained the Crane's Crown and the Peacock's Gallbladder. It was made by the people of the Isle of Heroes over the years.
No matter what kind of medicine wine it was, it was extremely strong. A few drops of it on the tip of one's tongue would be fatal. Even though the Messengers of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil's inner energy was so high, they still needed to consume the antidote to prevent themselves from being poisoned.
After so many years, they had developed a certain immunity to poison. Hence, they were not afraid of the Indigo Phoenix's poisonous spider.
It was a pity that the Indigo Phoenix did not know the trick. She was in a daze and her acupuncture points were sealed by the person. She could not move anymore.
Zhou Zhiruo was shocked. She leaped over and tried to save the Indigo Phoenix. Unfortunately, four people in black came out and blocked her. They had learned from their partner's lesson. They did not fight head-on with the Heavenly Sword anymore. Instead, they chose to fight with the sword. Zhou Zhiruo shouted and used all kinds of tricks. It was a pity that these people in black were highly skilled in martial arts. Moreover, they outnumbered her. Hence, they were able to neutralize her moves.
After fighting for a while, Zhou Zhiruo felt that the pressure from all directions was getting stronger. She started to feel anxious. At the same time, she wondered why Song Qingshu did not help her.
She thought that there was something wrong with Song Qingshu's body. Zhou Zhiruo looked over with concern. She saw her husband standing at the same spot quietly. He did not seem to have any intention of helping. She could not help but be stunned.
A fight between masters did not allow for any distraction. Zhou Zhiruo's moment of carelessness allowed the people in black to take advantage of it. They broke through her sword net and sealed all her acupuncture points.
Zhao Min, who was watching the battle attentively from the side, couldn't help but have a gloomy expression when she saw this. She didn't expect that she and Zhou Zhiruo would end up in the same situation after fighting for a lifetime.
"Sect Leader Zhou, you are indeed the number one person in the world at the Lion Slaying Convention. The eight of us had to work together to subdue you. You even injured four of us." Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo was subdued, they could not help but applaud.
Zhou Zhiruo scoffed, "Don't flatter me. If it wasn't for the sharpness of the Heavenly Sword, I could only handle one of you."
"You are too humble, Sect Leader Zhou." The leader of the men in black smiled and stopped looking at her. He walked straight to Song Qingshu and bowed respectfully.
"Mister, we are late to the rescue. Please forgive us."
Song Qingshu seemed to have expected this. He said in Jia Baoyu's voice, "No need to be so polite. Everyone, please get up."
Zhao Min, who was tied to the pillar, was shocked. Jia Shidao had such a powerful force under his command. What was he trying to do?!
Zhou Zhiruo and Blue Phoenix's doubts were finally solved. It turned out that Song Qingshu was wearing Jia Baoyu's clothes and a mask. With the Xuanming Elders pointing out his identity, the men in black had no idea that he was actually Jia Baoyu.
Not to mention the men in black, even Zhao Min and the Vajra Faction Leader had thought this person was Jia Baoyu.
Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but admire Song Qingshu's calmness. She hadn't realized this in a hurry. She had only wanted to join hands with Song Qingshu to defeat the men in black.
Fortunately, her husband was calm. Otherwise, although he was good at martial arts, there were 18 masters who were close to the level of the Five Greats. If they really fought, it would be difficult for him to defeat them. It would be better for him to act according to the situation as Jia Baoyu.
However, Song QingShu thought even more deeply. If he was the only one facing these 18 top-notch experts, he could use his qinggong and the terrain to deal with them. In the end, he would be the one to survive, but he would have to pay a heavy price.
But this time, he had Zhou Zhiruo and Blue Phoenix with him. If they were to fight, he wouldn't be able to take care of them. If they used them to threaten him, he would be in a dilemma.
The leader stood up and said, "According to the Island Master, we have to bring you back to the island. I'm afraid we won't be able to return to the Central Plains for a year or two. If you need anything, you can ask us to prepare in advance."
"I need it …" Song Qingshu's lips curled up slightly. He pointed at Zhou Zhiruo, Blue Phoenix, and Zhao Min. "The island is too boring. I have to find some beautiful women to accompany me. These few are not bad, I'll take them."
The black-clothed leader's face twitched as he expressionlessly said, "The island is indeed a little boring. However, these women are all devastatingly beautiful. Even though that Indigo Phoenix from the Five Venoms Cult is slightly inferior in terms of looks, she is naturally seductive. This subordinate is worried that Young Master's body might not be able to withstand it. When the time comes, the Island Lord will blame us …" He had always known this Young Master's character and was not surprised that he had made such a request.
Song Qingshu laughed and said, "Don't worry. The Island Master gave me a secret manual of the Plucking Technique. Not only will it not harm my body, but I can also cultivate my inner strength through it."
The leader was stunned, but he didn't doubt it. After all, he knew that the Island Master was very powerful. It was not impossible for him to find such a secret manual. "This secret manual is quite suitable for you."
Zhou Zhiruo and Blue Phoenix knew Song Qingshu's identity. Zhao Min only thought he was Jia Baoyu. She couldn't hold back her anger anymore when she heard the two of them talking about turning her into that useless plaything. She said, "Do you know who I am? If you dare to touch me, the Mongolian Empire will make you beg for death!"
Song Qingshu took the opportunity to ask, "Yes, she is the princess of the Mongolian Empire. How dare you touch her?"
The leader answered, "We intercepted them, but you disappeared. We were worried about your safety, so we captured them. Along the way, we interrogated them about your whereabouts. Luckily, we met you here. As for the princess of the Mongolian Empire … "
