Chapter 165: Iron Hook, Steel Claw, Spirit-Slaying Technique
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 own body would put her under great pressure. What's more, He Tieshou is definitely a beautiful woman, so self-harming her body is even more out of the ordinary.
Thinking of this, Yan Ming couldn't help but take a closer look at the iron hook on her hand, wondering what mystery there might be.
But more importantly, there is a secret sense of vigilance.
The 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 shown by Yan Ming...
He Tieshou chuckled: "Who did I think he was? It turned out to be the world-famous Guanzhong Divine Catcher. How disrespectful."
Speaking of this, He Tieshou said with some 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 flower bush 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 look, He Tieshou hurriedly explained.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Yan. These are just some gadgets from the humble sect. If they don't show up, they won't hinder Mr. Yan's eyes."
Unexpectedly, He Tieshou didn't seem to mean to cause trouble, and on the contrary, he behaved quite friendly.
"Then what do you mean?"
Yan Ming pointed at the poisonous insects.
"These things are really easy to misunderstand. Please forgive me, Mr. Yan, but the little girl happened to pass by nearby. These poisonous insects that were cultivated 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 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 reasonable at first glance, but the Tongxi Dilong Pill worn by Yan Ming was heating up slightly, indicating that the poison near Yan Ming had not yet dissipated.
"It didn't hurt anyone, but once these poisonous insects were released, the entire 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."
Speaking of 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 need to be supervised here until the toxic effects are eliminated."
"environment?"
He Tieshou was a little surprised to hear this word.
In the past, when she went out to travel around the world, she encountered many people who shouted at her and killed her.
It's just that they usually use the banner of doing justice for heaven, or they say that they are a witch from the Five Poison Sect, causing a lot of troubles, or that they refine poisons to repel insects, and what they do is against the way of heaven, or they just directly kill people.
He denounced it as an evil way 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 is nothing he can do..."
"Are you going to refuse the penalty?"
"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 moved.
There was movement under Yan Ming's feet, and several slender worms shot out from the soil, heading straight for Yan Ming like special hidden weapons.
"Hehe, I want to see Yan Baotou's strength."
As soon as He Tieshou finished speaking, he 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 He Tieshou's daughter's house.
One second she was acting cute, and the next second she struck without warning, which was very sudden.
Before a few worms could get close to them, Yan Ming moved slightly and easily dodged them. 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 such a young age. His skill in poisoning 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 anti-toxic effect of Tongxi Dilong Pills means that Yan Ming doesn’t have to worry at all.
"Huh?"
He Tieshou, who was 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 it's not for revenge.
Although the two old men, Gold and Silver, died at 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, Gold and Silver, also had quite a bit of criticism towards the leader, He Tieshou, and they often refused to deal with him in trivial matters.
Therefore, He Tieshou had no idea of revenge for them.
But 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 Tie's hand 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 struck towards 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 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 spikes of the iron hook.
At the same time, the immortal golden body had been activated, and the bits of toxic powder fell on it, but did not touch Yan Ming's body surface.
However, Yan Ming keenly noticed that the protective shield of the immortal golden body was corroded, and the true energy output suddenly increased.
"Whoa!"
He Tie's hook continued to advance. Her fighting ideas were different from those of others. She did not want to distance herself. Instead, she moved her moves as fast as one move at a time. She moved quickly and kept hitting Yan Ming's arms. 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 had been made in the Qi shield, and he had penetrated it.
.
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 him was getting thicker and thicker. Yan Ming was protected by a true energy shield and an immortal golden body, so he was 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 palms and hooks, 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 clumsy edge is black in color, and the blade seems to be very sudden. It is filled with true energy and the intention of the sword to strike with 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, with only a short length of small iron rod left.
"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.
Obviously the sound of swallows is not far away in front of the palm, but it seems to be 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 for a while, 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 as 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 beneath the ground, rushing towards Yanming desperately.
He Tieshou also 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 Tie staggered back to distance himself.
Looking down, he saw that the remaining 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.
"The second most annoying thing I hate is when people ask me my name and hands."
As He Tieshou spoke, he twisted his wrist, and the cracked iron hook base fell off, leaving only the round broken wrist.
He Tieshou then took out a sharp claw-shaped steel claw with him, turned it on his wrist, and placed it directly on it.
Yan Ming looked at it strangely, feeling that He Tie's hand, a broken wrist weapon, 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 attached the steel claws to 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 claw 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.
This voice is also quite familiar to Yan Ming.
I heard these sounds from the overwhelming poisonous insects on the other side when I was with the gold and silver old men before.
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. Judging from their arrogant appearance, they are stronger than the deadly scorpions of the former gold and silver 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 and obscured the view.
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, they did not dodge away, and a large part of them were still rushing towards them, which made Yan Ming very surprised.
It seems that the poisonous insects cultivated by He Tieshou using special methods can be immune to the deterrence 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?
