Chapter 586 Diao Er
Just as Zuo Zimu was feeling furious and was about to attack the girl Zhong Ling on the beam, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Apparently everyone heard it as well, and they all turned to look outside the door.

Suddenly, a man rushed in from outside the door. His steps were very unsteady and he ran staggeringly. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he fell backwards and fell to the ground.

Zuo Zimu saw the appearance of the person coming and couldn't help but screamed, "Junior Brother Rong!"

Gong Guangjie, who was not far away, ran over and helped the man who had fallen to the ground up, shouting, "Uncle Rong, you...what happened to you?"

Zuo Zimu also rushed forward, but saw that his junior fellow disciple Rong Ziju had eyes wide open, his face full of hatred, and he had already died.

His expression suddenly became even uglier. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly reached out to unbutton Junior Brother Rong's shirt.

On Rong Ziju's chest, eight large black characters were written: "Shennong Gang will destroy Wuliang Sword."

"Shennong Gang! How dare you kill my fellow apprentice brother? You deserve to die!"

Zuo Zimu's hatred was reborn, and he couldn't help but howl to the sky.

Everyone looked carefully and saw that the eight black words on the chest were neither written with ink nor carved with a sharp object, but were written with a highly toxic drug.

The poison corrodes and sinks deep into the skin.

"You are so arrogant that you actually want to destroy my Wuliang Sword Sect! How can I be a human being if I don't take revenge?"

Zuo Zimu turned his head and shouted to his disciples beside him: "Guanghao, Guangjie, go outside and investigate!"

The two senior disciples, Gan Guanghao and Gong Guangjie, immediately strode out with long swords in hand.

This immediately caused chaos in the hall. Everyone no longer paid attention to Duan Yu and the girl on the beam, and surrounded Rong Ziju's body, talking about something.

Zuo Zimu looked at his fellow apprentice's corpse and could not help but feel grief and indignation. He no longer had the heart to argue with Duan Yu and Zhong Ling.

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the door again. It was Gan Guanghao and Gong Guangjie who were walking quickly towards us.

The two men came closer, both with panic in their faces.

Gan Guanghao clasped his fists and whispered, "Master, the Shennong Gang has gathered on the opposite mountain and guarded the mountain road. They said no one is allowed to go down the mountain. We saw that the enemy had many people, so we didn't dare to act rashly without Master's orders."

Zuo Zimu raised his eyebrows and asked coldly: "What? How many people are here?"

Gong Guangjie continued: "It is estimated that there are 70 to 80 people."

Zuo Zimu's sneer deepened as he angrily said, "Seventy or eighty people want to destroy my Wuliang Sword? That's wishful thinking!"

Gong Guangjie raised his hand and took out a letter, his face full of indignation: "They shot an envelope over with an arrow, and what was written on the letter was extremely rude."

Zuo Zimu remained calm and ordered, "Read it out loud."

Gong Guangjie opened the envelope without hesitation and took out the letter.

Chai Xin's eyes fell on the envelope and he couldn't help but shook his head secretly: "This kid is going to die."

On the beam, Zhong Ling also whispered in Duan Yu's ear: "The evil man who hit you is going to die."

Duan Yu was surprised and asked suspiciously: "Why is this happening?"

Zhong Ling shook her head and said, "The envelope and the letter paper are all stained with poison. Anyone who touches it will die."

Duan Yu's eyes widened: "How can the Shennong Gang be so mean and vicious?"

Gong Guangjie read out, "You have one hour to cut off your right hand, break your weapon, and leave the Wuliang Mountain Sword Lake Palace. Otherwise, Wuliang Sword will kill everyone."

"Who the hell is the Shennong Gang? How dare they make such a boast!" Zuo Zimu's smile became even colder.

However, before he could finish his words, Gong Guangjie suddenly fell backwards and hit the ground with a thud.

"Junior brother!"

Gan Guanghao stood beside him and reached out to help him?
Upon seeing this, Zuo Zimu rushed forward two steps, turned his palm and pressed it on Gan Guanghao's chest, knocking him several feet away, and shouted: "I'm afraid it's poisonous, stay away!"

After a few words, everyone saw that the muscles on Gong Guangjie's face twitched constantly, the hand holding the letter turned black in an instant, and his legs kicked a few times, and then there was no movement.

"The despicable and shameless peasants of the Shennong Gang are only capable of resorting to such despicable means!"

Zuo Zimu's eyes were red, and it was obvious that he hated it to the extreme.

Just now his junior fellow apprentice died, and now another disciple has died. How could he not feel hatred in his heart?

"Left Sect Leader, if you are sensible and do not want your disciples to suffer any more harm, then lead them to leave Wuliang Mountain immediately. God is merciful and I do not want to commit more sins of killing."

At this moment, an old and hoarse voice came from outside the door.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a thin old man walking over with a dozen people.

This old man had a gray goatee under his chin, and he spoke in a very arrogant manner, as if he had already taken control of the Wuliang Sword Sect.

"Sikong Xuan! You are so brave that you dare to come here in person? If I don't kill you today, wouldn't the heroes of the world laugh at my Wuliang Sword Sect for having no one?"

Zuo Zimu recognized the person at a glance and drew his sword immediately. The sword rang as a cold light flashed.

"Sikong Xuan actually came here at this time. It seems that the plot has changed a little from the original novel..."

Chai Xin had read the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", and was particularly impressed by the opening content.

In the original novel, it was Duan Yu who took Zhong Ling to find Sikong Xuan, wanting to intervene and mediate between the two families.

But how could Sikong Xuan listen to the advice of two young men?
During the conflict between the two sides, Sikong Xuan was bitten by the lightning marten raised by Zhong Ling and was poisoned. In order to get the antidote, he detained Zhong Ling and asked Duan Yu, who had taken the poison, to find Zhong Ling's father to get the antidote for the lightning marten poison.

It was also during this process that Duan Yu slipped and fell off a cliff, accidentally entered the Langhuan Jade Cave, and obtained the secrets of practicing Beiming Divine Art and Lingbo Weibu.

"Zuo Zimu, since I dare to come here today, I must have made all the necessary preparations. Do you really want to resist and seek your own death?"

Sikong Xuan stood with his hands behind his back and spoke in a calm tone.

When Zuo Zimu pointed his sword at him, he seemed not to see it.

"Ah! This bad old man is here too. What bad luck!"

On the beam, Zhong Ling saw Sikong Xuan. Although she seemed to have known him for a long time, she let out a cry of surprise.

Duan Yu looked up at her and asked curiously, "Miss, how do you know this Sikong Gang Leader?"

"A few days ago, they tried to steal the food I gave to Diao'er to make some poison pills. I gave them a lesson."

Zhong Ling replied with a pout.

"Diao'er? Rations? Why don't I understand?" Duan Yu was even more confused.

"Look, this is my mink. Isn't it pretty?"

Zhong Ling raised her little hand, and suddenly a sable with shiny fur and purple light appeared in front of everyone.

"Those little snakes I released to bite people earlier are the food I feed Diao'er."

"So that's what's happening... Girl, I think you'd better leave here quickly, or you'll be... " Duan Yu said this and glanced at Sikong Xuan, Zuo Zimu and the others. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of his words was obvious.

"Oh, I was wondering who it was. I didn't expect you to be here too. God is watching over me. Last time you used that lightning marten to harm several of my disciples, and I haven't come to terms with you yet!"

Sikong Xuan heard the conversation between Zhong Ling and Duan Yu, then he turned his gaze over, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his old face.

"Little girl, if you don't want to die, quickly hand over the Lightning Eagle to me! Because you are young, I can still give you a chance to live. Otherwise, today will be the anniversary of your death!"

Zuo Zimu was a little annoyed. This was clearly the territory of his Wuliang Sword Sect, but the two guys in front of him were actually quarreling in their own territory as if no one was around.

Doesn't this mean that they completely disregard him, the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect?

However, he is also an extremely cautious person.

He was very clear about the strength of Sikong Xuan and the Shenlong Gang. After all, the conflict between the two factions had a long history and they had fought against each other many times.

But this time, Sikong Xuan actually dared to come in person and brazenly threatened to wipe out the Wuliang Sword Sect...

Zuo Zimu suspected that there might be another hidden story behind this.

So even though he was angry and even wanted to kill Sikong Xuan immediately, he did not act rashly.

Especially after seeing the lightning marten that Zhong Ling took out, he took half a step back without leaving a trace.

He has managed to get to where he is today, so he must have good eyesight.

He knew very well what a lightning marten was.

The poison of that thing is so strong that it is rare in the world. If you are bitten by it, there is no way to survive unless there is a special antidote.

As for the antidote for the lightning marten, Zuo Zimu didn't know who had it, but at least he didn't have it.

"If we can get the Lightning Marten, even if Sikong Xuan has a backup plan, we may still be able to win this battle..."

Zuo Zimu was very cunning. He rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.

He suddenly shouted loudly: "This girl is a distinguished guest invited by me, Zuo Zimu. Sikong Xuan, you old thing, if you dare to touch her, I will make you live a life worse than death!"

When these words were spoken, all those who had been standing here for a long time were greatly surprised.

It was clear that just before that, Zuo Zimu and others had a disagreement with the girl on the beam and were about to draw their swords against each other.

Why are you suddenly calling him a distinguished guest?
"This Zuo Sect Leader is quite kind. Although he had some disagreements with us before, he was thoughtful to say these words at this critical moment. He is truly worthy of being the leader of a sect."

Duan Yu was a silly boy who had just entered the martial arts world. He did not suspect that Zuo Zimu had any conspiracy after his sudden change of character. Instead, he was moved and admired him.

But Zhong Ling is different. Although she is younger than Duan Yu, her experience in the martial arts world and the education her parents gave her since childhood make her not so naive.

"Zuo Zimu, you were so frightened when you learned that my Shennong Gang was going to attack the Wuliang Sword Sect that you actually asked a little girl to help you? I think you are desperate!"

Sikong Xuan glanced at Zuo Zimu, and the contempt on his face deepened.

Zhong Linglin didn't pay attention to what Sikong Xuan and Zuo Zimu said. Her big watery eyes were blank and looked at the handsome young man below with some disbelief.

"Are you really that stupid? Do you believe whatever others say?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the room couldn't help but smile.

Duan Yu's performance from the beginning to now has indeed made many people think that he is a complete fool.

"Don't worry, young lady. I'm here and will never let this old guy hurt you in the slightest!"

As Zuo Zimu was talking, he walked under the beam unnoticed.

Suddenly, he kicked his feet hard, jumped up high, and grabbed with his left hand, aiming directly at the lightning marten in Zhong Ling's hand.

All his previous words were just to divert attention. His real goal was to snatch the lightning marten from Zhong Ling.

"Master Zuo, what are you doing?"

Duan Yu couldn't help but cry out in surprise upon seeing this, and stretched out his hand to grab him, but his strength was insufficient, and he couldn't even touch the corner of Zuo Zimu's clothes.

"Old man, I knew you had bad intentions! Bite him!"

Zhong Ling's reaction was not slow, especially since she was in a high position. While she was speaking, the little purple mink in her palm jumped out.

Zuo Zimu's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect that this little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old would be so defensive and react so quickly.

The most important point is that the speed of the lightning marten is beyond his imagination.
Especially since he was in mid-air now, he couldn't move or dodge.

"what!"

Zuo Zimu only felt a sharp pain on the back of his left hand and couldn't help but let out a low cry.

"Swipe!"

Before he could react, there was another sound of breaking air, and he felt as if all parts of his body were hit by something soft.

He looked down and his eyes widened: "Snake!"

It turned out that at that moment, Dong Lin threw out more than a dozen snakes, all of which fell on Zuo Zimu.

No one could have told that such a bright and lovely little girl had so many snakes hidden on her body.

"boom!"

Zuo Zimu fell back to the ground in a rather embarrassed manner, and shook his left hand desperately to shake off the electric marten that was biting his hand.

At the same time, he held the sword in his right hand and slashed it fiercely towards his left hand, trying to kill the lightning marten.

"return!"

When Zhong Ling saw this scene, she hurriedly called out.

The lightning marten seemed to be really smart. When it heard her soft cry, the little mouth that had refused to let go suddenly loosened its grip. It kicked its legs on the back of Zuo Zimu's hand and turned into a purple light, which flew over to Zhong Ling.

"You're so good! I'll give you something delicious as a reward!"

Zhong Ling stroked the electric marten with a smile, and with her other hand she touched somewhere and pulled out a small purple snake, which she put into the marten's mouth.

The lightning marten immediately began to eat with great joy.

"You little bitch, you dare to plot against me, how vicious!"

Zuo Zimu finally shook off the snakes on his body, looked at his left hand which had turned a little black, and couldn't help but curse loudly.

Duan Yu was indignant and retorted: "Master Zuo, what you said is unreasonable. It was clearly you who plotted against the girl first. Why are you blaming me and slandering me?"

"You little jerk, you have no right to speak here. Go to hell!"

Zuo Zimu's already bad mood became even worse after being exposed in front of him. He raised his hand, raised his sword and slashed.
