But this time, with the sound of breaking through the air, three small black arrows let out an ear-piercing screech as they arrived in front of him.
It was the woman surnamed Du who had suddenly shot out the small arrows from her huge bow.
The practitioner that was neither male nor female was enraged. Although he was still in the air, his sleeve suddenly shook and a soft sword shot out like a poisonous snake. With a slight wave, it turned into three sword shadows that violently chopped at the three small arrows.
"Hong!"
In the instant that the three small arrows were struck by the sword projections, they exploded like porcelain, and black liquid splattered all over the sky.
Even though the practitioner that was neither male nor female could be considered to have rich battle experience, he was unable to defend against such a sudden change and was immediately drenched by the black liquid.
With a flip, he landed on the ground and hurriedly put one of his sleeves to his nose to sniff. Immediately, he smelled an extremely fishy smell and couldn't help but scream in both alarm and anger.
"What did you hide in the arrows?"
"There is no need to ask any more. You will know very soon. I also don't want to waste words with a dead person. "The woman surnamed Du put down the huge bow in her hand and said expressionlessly.
"Ah … even if I die, I will kill you first." The practitioner that was neither male nor female let out a miserable scream and the skin on his body began to quickly melt and rot at a speed visible to the naked eye. He immediately let out a shrill scream and suddenly shook the soft sword in his hand, fiercely throwing it at the woman surnamed Du.
With a flash of silver light, the soft sword became a cold rainbow that pierced through the air and arrived above the woman's head, fiercely chopping down.
The woman was shocked, obviously not expecting the opponent to have such a method. She could only helplessly raise the huge bow in her hand to block, wanting to force the cold rainbow to retreat.
However, this woman had obviously underestimated the dying attack of a middle stage practitioner. Although the huge bow in her hand was not an ordinary item, how could it be compared to a practitioner weapon?
With a "peng" sound, the huge bow's seemingly thick bowstring was immediately cut in half. The cold rainbow flashed again and was about to cut the woman in half.
However, at this time, with a "sou" sound, a green light flashed from the other side and fiercely chopped the cold rainbow.
"Dang!"
The azure light dissipated as specks of spiritual light, and the streak of glacial light was sent flying back before reverting back to a flexible sword that fell to the ground.
The woman surnamed Du paused for a moment and turned her head to look at the young Confucian scholar.
The Confucian scholar slowly lowered one of his hands. It was clear that he was the one who had saved her just now.
Lady Du thought for a moment and nodded at the Confucian scholar. However, she did not say anything to thank him. Instead, she shouted at the other Black Tiger Guards in a low voice.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take down all these bandits!"
The other Black Tiger Guards were originally dumbstruck by the series of events that had just occurred, but when they heard this, they came to a sudden realization. They immediately yelled and pounced at the masked men in black. Their aura was clearly many times stronger than before.
On the contrary, after the Qi Practitioners in the lead were all killed, the masked men in black began to retreat in panic. Some of them even turned around and fled without any hesitation.
In the end, after a chaotic battle, a small half of them were killed on the spot, but most of them managed to escape without a trace.
During this entire process, the woman surnamed Du and the maid stayed by Lady Mi and the boy's side. They did not have any intentions of making a move. It was obvious that they were worried that there would be more people among the attackers.
However, this kind of worry was unnecessary.
When the Black Tiger Guards chopped down the last black-clothed man who couldn't escape in time outside the temple, no one else showed up.
Seeing this, the maid let out a long sigh. She glanced at the young Confucian scholar and suddenly whispered something into the beautiful woman's ear.
Lady Mi's eyes flashed and she nodded. She then pulled the boy next to her and walked over to the young Confucian scholar with the maid.
The woman surnamed Du ordered the Black Tiger Guards to clean up the scene and began to interrogate the two captured black clothed men.
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving us. Otherwise, my son and I would not have been able to escape." Lady Mi walked in front of the Confucian scholar and said sincerely with a bow.
"That's right, if it wasn't for you, my lady would not have been able to return to Xuanjing alive." The maid also said respectfully.
"No need to thank me. I didn't help to save them. It was just that these people attacked me first." The young Confucian scholar used the wooden stick in his hand to poke at the fire in front of him as he replied casually. His attitude was naturally different from before.
"Immortal Master must be joking. It is because of Immortal Master that we are able to keep our lives. What is Immortal Master's name? Are you also going to Xuanjing? "Lady Mi asked with a smile.
"I am only a Spirit Apostle and do not dare to call myself an Immortal Master. You can call me "Mister Qian". I do need to go to Xuanjing to do some things. "The young Confucian scholar said lightly.
"So it is Mister Qian. My surname is Mi and my husband's family is considered to have some power in Xuanjing. It is just that I offended a few despicable people on my way back. If mister is willing to accompany us, I will be sure to thank you heavily when we return to Xuanjing. "Lady Mi said with a pleading expression.
"Escort you? Not interested. I am only going to Xuanjing to find a Spirit Medicine for my niece. I don't want to get involved in any trouble. "When the young Confucian scholar heard this, he didn't even think before rejecting.
These words naturally caused the smile on Lady Mi's face to freeze.
However, the maid on the side said without changing her expression:
"If Mister Qian is going to Xuanjing to find a Spirit Medicine, then my lady will be able to help. Mister may not know, but my lady is the owner of the famous Hundred Spirit House in Xuanjing. The Hundred Spirit House is a store that specializes in buying all kinds of Spirit Medicines and minerals. Even in other states, we have branches. Even if the item that mister wants cannot be found in the Hundred Spirit House, my lady can help us contact other stores that are on good terms and can also help us search. "
"Oh, I've heard of the Hundred Spirit House before! Is madam really the wife of the owner of the Hundred Spirit House? " When the young Confucian scholar heard this, his expression finally changed. He looked at Lady Mi again as if trying to determine if the maid was telling the truth or not.
"As long as mister is willing to escort me and my son safely back to Xuanjing, no matter what Spirit Medicine you want, I will help you find it." At this moment, Lady Mi bit her teeth and promised.
"If that's the case … okay. I'll believe you this once! However, let me make this clear. If you are unable to fulfill your promise when we arrive at Xuanjing, don't blame me for being merciless. "The young Confucian scholar thought for a while before finally nodding his head.
"Hehe, don't worry fellow. As long as you aren't looking for the legendary Spirit Objects, normal Spirit Medicines are not a problem. "The maid quickly smiled and said.
"Hmph, the value of the Spirit Medicine I'm looking for isn't that high. It's just that it's very rare and there aren't many people who can use it. That's why it's hard to find." The young Confucian scholar seemed to understand the meaning behind the maid's words and snorted.
"That's even less of a problem. That's right, I don't know what illness your niece has. I am quite proficient in medicine, do you want me to take a look? " Hearing this, the maid's heart relaxed. However, when she looked at the yellow-skinned girl beside the Confucian scholar, she couldn't help but ask.
"There's no need. If fellow is really proficient in medicine, why don't you first cure the poison in your young master's body. "The young Confucian scholar shook his head and replied indifferently.
"What, the young master has been poisoned!"
"Impossible, how could my son be poisoned?"
Hearing this, the maid and Lady Mi both cried out involuntarily.
"Hehe, if you two don't believe me, you can check for yourself. Looking at the dark air between his eyebrows, it's obvious that he has been poisoned for at least a month. "The Confucian scholar looked at the boy and casually replied.
Hearing the certainty of the Confucian scholar, Lady Mi and the maid looked at each other and couldn't help but believe him a bit.
Lady Mi hurriedly apologized to the scholar before pulling the boy along with the maid back to where they came from.
The maid gave a few instructions to the maid, and the latter quickly ran out of the temple.
A moment later, the young maid carried a bulging bag and walked in.
The maid caught the bag and after rummaging through it, she immediately found a box of silver needles and a few glyphs.
Under Lady Mi's concerned gaze, the maid slapped a glyph onto the boy's body. Then, she quickly inserted a few silver needles into the boy's arm.
"Big Brother Ming, is he really poisoned?"
At this time, the little girl who was sitting close to the Confucian scholar couldn't help but raise her head and ask.
"Yes, he has indeed been poisoned. It is also a very troublesome poison. If they didn't meet me, they probably wouldn't have found out until the day before the poison took effect. "The Confucian scholar smiled as he replied. At the same time, he used his hand to rub the little girl's head.
This Confucian scholar who looked to be 27 or 28 years old was naturally Liu Ming's alias.
The little girl was the only descendant of Uncle Qian that Liu Ming had found after leaving Fengtian County. She was also Uncle Qian's granddaughter.
Back on Savage Island, Uncle Qian, who was like a teacher and a father to Liu Ming, had only one wish before his death. He hoped that if Liu Ming had the chance, he would take care of his descendant.
After Liu Ming left Savage Island, he was first chased by people. Then, unexpectedly, he entered the Barbarian Ghost Sect and became a Spirit Apostle. It was only now that he had the time to go to Uncle Qian's hometown to find his descendant.
However, after searching for a while, he found out that Uncle Qian's only son, who had been captured and brought to Savage Island, had already started a family. However, a few years ago, a plague broke out, causing both husband and wife to pass away. They only left behind a three to four year old girl named Qian Ruping.
As a result, this girl, who had no parents by her side, was easily taken over by the other clan uncles and uncles. Not long after, she was chased out of the clan and could only become a little beggar.
