Sword drawn from the constellations, poison as its edge.

Chapter 68 Certificate of Surrender

Jiang Mingzhe smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself that tea is the master of flowers and wine is the matchmaker of lust. Who the hell would have thought that Yun Zhonghe, a flower thief, would not like to drink?
A man who doesn't drink is wasting his life. No wonder that even though they were both womanizers, Tian Boguang could be on friendly terms with the protagonist, while Yun Zhonghe was abandoned by even his own boss.

Just as he was about to come up with a new reason, the Crocodile God of the South China Sea suddenly raised his face like a big dog, stuck his nose into the wind, sniffed hard a few times, and his expression became even more ferocious.

"The smell of blood... Damn it, you killed Yun Laosi? How could you possibly kill Yun Laosi? Although Yun Laosi was a bastard, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Four Evils if he died at the hands of outsiders?"

With each question mark, the Crocodile God of the South China Sea drew closer, his voice growing louder with each step.

As he finished speaking, his inner strength surged, and his voice boomed like thunder: "I don't care if you kill Yun Laosi, but the title of one of the Four Evils cannot be tarnished! Anyone who dares to tarnish it, I'll kill them!"

As soon as the word "slaughter" was uttered, the Crocodile God of the South China Sea suddenly leaped up and slapped Jiang Mingzhe on the forehead with a palm strike.

Jiang Mingzhe shifted his position and unleashed a series of hooks with both claws, using the most powerful move of the Three Yin Centipede Claws, "Three Yin Extinction"!
At the same time, he roared, "Senior sister, lead everyone to the blessed land and wait for me. My sworn brother knows the way!"

The Crocodile God of the South China Sea kicked away Jiang Mingzhe's hand, twisted his body and landed on the ground, cursing: "Dare to demolish my ancestral hall? I'll beat you to death! Take my Ten Thousand Crocodiles Devouring Dragon Palm!"

After saying that, he attacked again, his attacks as fast as lightning and thunder. It was as if he had grown more than ten arms at the same time. His clothes fluttered as he suddenly threw punches, palms, fingers, and claws. His power was extremely fierce, just like waves surging and countless giant crocodiles pouncing ferociously.

Jiang Mingzhe felt a sudden tightness in his chest and said urgently, "Let's go!"

With his feet moving swiftly, he circled the Crocodile God of the South China Sea, like a small boat in a raging storm, always in danger of capsizing.

After consuming a large amount of antidote for centipede venom, Duan Yu's breathing became much easier. Despite his face and body being covered in red, swollen blisters, he shouted, "Big brother, I'm here to help you!"

He lunged forward, his hands and feet flailing, but Azi tripped him, sending him tumbling to the ground. He yelled angrily, "What are you doing!"

Azi's face was ashen as she rebuked, "If you want to die, I'll grant your wish now, so you won't harm my junior brother!"

Duan Yu said aggrievedly, "How could I harm my elder brother? I'll go fight for him."

Seeing that he was stubborn and unyielding, Azi kicked him hard in anger: "What are you talking about! That ugly monster has superb martial arts skills. My junior brother was able to hold his own against him entirely because of his lightness skills. What are you doing, you little clown monster, causing trouble? Get lost! If we leave, my junior brother will have a chance to escape!"

Duan Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was the clown monster. He felt even more aggrieved, but he also knew that the situation was critical. He pouted and got up: "Big brother told me to take you to the blessed land to wait for him. You all come with me!"

Zhong Ling's acupoints were still locked, and she jumped up and down anxiously: "Zi girl, are we really leaving? I think we should all go together. We might not be afraid of that ugly monster."

Azi roared, "We'll all come together, we'll all die together! If you want to die, jump off the cliff, don't drag Big Ginger down with you! Get out of here!"

Zhong Ling was startled and said pitifully, "Don't be mean to me, I... I'll send Lightning Sable to help him."

Azi, with one in each hand, pushed Duan Yu and Zhong Ling's vests away, saying, "Big Rat can handle ordinary opponents, but against experts like this, he'd crush them in one swipe. Big Ginger, I don't know where he learned his lightness skill. Let's go, that ugly monster can't catch him..."

As she spoke, she pushed the two of them and ran for seven or eight zhang, then suddenly burst into tears and whispered, "Big Ginger, you can't be beaten to death!"

Her voice trembled with a hint of tears, but she stubbornly refused to turn around, afraid that Jiang Mingzhe would reveal a weakness that his opponent could exploit. She silently shed tears as she pushed the two of them as they ran.

She ran headlong for twenty or thirty paces when she suddenly heard Zhong Ling call out, "Hey, where's Sister Mu?"

Azi was startled and turned around, but there was no trace of Mu Wanqing.

Only then did he feel relieved and say, "The wooden figure must have run away a long time ago. It's good that she left on her own. She spoke so coldly; I was afraid I would poison her in anger. You clown, how do I get to that blessed land?"

Duan Yu said bitterly, "I'm not ugly, I'm just poisoned. Come with me!"

Seeing that Azi had chased the group away, Jiang Mingzhe was greatly relieved: In the end, it was still Azi who mattered. The poppy that grew in the harsh soil of the Xingxiu Sect was not comparable to the greenhouse flowers like Duan Yu and Zhong Ling. Hmm, once they got a little further away, I would find a way to get away.

He initially tried to retaliate from time to time, but soon realized that the gap was too large. Not only could he not hurt his opponent in the slightest, but he also disrupted the continuity of his footwork, putting himself in grave danger.

He simply dodged without attacking, which made him feel much more relaxed, displaying a carefree and leisurely demeanor. The South Sea Crocodile God launched dozens of fierce attacks to no avail, and in his anger, he roared, "Shameless! Shameless! If you have any guts, exchange three blows with me and see who's the real hero!"

Jiang Mingzhe laughed as he walked: "There's no need to compare, of course I'm the hero..."

Before the Crocodile God of the South Sea could get angry, he immediately said, "You are a villain! How can the second most wicked person in the world be a hero? Only being a villain is worthy of your status!"

The Crocodile God of the South Sea was taken aback, and involuntarily nodded, saying, "That's right! You have a good eye, kid. If you hadn't ruined the reputation of the Four Evils, I wouldn't have been willing to kill you."

After saying that, he turned around and struck with his palm, but Jiang Mingzhe dodged it and said with a smile, "You shouldn't have killed me in the first place. Did you think that by killing Yun Zhonghe, I was disgracing the reputation of you four villains? You're wrong, very wrong."

The Crocodile God of the South Sea unleashed three palm strikes and a kick, all of which Jiang Mingzhe dodged. He then retorted, "Bullshit! Do you think I'm brainless and can be fooled by you?"

Jiang Mingzhe said sincerely, "A lamp won't light if it's not plucked, and a truth won't be clear unless it's debated. If I were speaking nonsense, wouldn't you, with your intelligence and wisdom, have noticed?"

The Evil God of the South Sea missed his target with both punches, then nodded and said, "That's true. If you're talking nonsense, I'll expose you on the spot!"

Jiang Mingzhe said, "The Four Evils are renowned throughout the martial arts world. Even a junior like me has heard of them. For example, 'Utterly Evil' is highly skilled in martial arts and has a deep mind. He is truly a first-rate villain. As for 'Fierce and Evil,' he is even more famous. He is the second most evil person in the world for a reason. If he doesn't like someone, he will snap their neck in one go. He is truly vicious and evil..."

The Crocodile God of the South Sea laughed heartily and reached out to grab Jiang Mingzhe's neck, but Jiang Mingzhe dodged it. He continued, "There's another one who's committed all sorts of evil deeds. She's said to be a woman, but she's incredibly ruthless, black-hearted, and vicious. She's the third most evil person in the world. Who else could it be but her?"

The Crocodile God of the South China Sea ranks third among the Four Evils. His greatest dream in life is to turn Ye Erniang into Ye Sanniang, and to change his own name from Yue Laosan to Yue Laoer.

Jiang Mingzhe had repeatedly called him the second most villainous person, which made him quite unhappy. He missed his sweeping kick and said with great interest, "Hey kid, you say I'm second and that woman surnamed Ye is third. Is this your cowardice in trying to please me, or is it the consensus of the martial arts world?"

Jiang Mingzhe dodged a series of claw attacks by darting left and right, and laughed: "Although my fist and internal strength are not as good as yours, my lightness skill is not weak. Senior may not be able to hurt me, so why should I try to please you?"

If these words had been said earlier, the Crocodile God of the South Sea would have been furious. But now, with the ranking dispute at stake, he nodded with great interest: "That's right. Since you don't need to flatter me, what you say is naturally from the heart."

Jiang Mingzhe said seriously, "As the saying goes, heaven and earth are divided into upper and lower, and the universe has yin and yang. In this world, men are the masters. Senior Ye is already very remarkable to be among the top four. But what kind of person is she? She is a man among men, a true gentleman. No matter how fierce or wicked she is, she is still inferior to her. This is the will of the people in the martial arts world and a well-known fact."

Yue Laosan was in high spirits. Since he couldn't hit Jiang Mingzhe anyway, he simply stopped fighting, jumped out of the battle, and asked with a laugh, "You're a reasonable kid. Tell me, how can a woman be ranked above Yun Laosi?"

Jiang Mingzhe stopped two zhang away, revealing a look of disdain, and said: "What kind of man is Yun Zhonghe? A real man only competes with great men. Can someone like him, who specializes in bullying weak women, be considered a man? The first three of the Four Evils are all deserving of their titles, but this one is vicious and wicked. I think he should be called vicious and lecherous. He's a womanizer. Let alone being one of the Four Evils, even if he were in prison, the prisoners would look down on him."

Yue Laosan blinked his small eyes repeatedly and said in surprise, "What you said is very true! Yun Laosi only thinks about playing with women all day long, so why is he ranked alongside me, Yue Laoer? No wonder I always get angry whenever I see him!"

Jiang Mingzhe pressed his advantage, saying, "So killing Yun Zhonghe didn't disgrace your reputation as one of the Four Evils; on the contrary, it preserved your reputation."

"Well, you didn't ruin our reputation, you preserved it..." Yue Laosan frowned. Although it sounded reasonable, he still felt that something was wrong.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh: "Wait a minute! I almost fell for your trick. Everyone in the martial arts world knows there are four of the Four Great Evils. Now that one is gone, how can their reputations not be tarnished? However, Yun Lao Si is indeed too vicious and lecherous to be considered a villain. But you, kid, are full of schemes and tricks. If you were to commit evil, you'd probably be even more wicked than the others. I'll just introduce you to the boss, and you'll be the fourth evil. That way, there will still be four Great Evils, and their reputations will be preserved. Then I won't have to kill you."

Jiang Mingzhe never expected that Yue Laosan thought so highly of him and actually invited him to join the group.

He was caught between laughter and tears, and casually replied, "That would be wonderful, but this place is deserted and not suitable for killing. How about this, I'll go and slaughter the Wuliang Sword Sect and the Shennong Gang now as a pledge of loyalty, and then come back to become the Fourth Evil!"

After saying this, he was about to leave, but the Crocodile God of the South Sea stopped him with a hand: "Why go to such lengths? How about this, you go and torture the woman hiding behind the rock to death, that will be your pledge of allegiance!"

　Alas, when I wrote the line "A man who doesn't drink has lived in vain," a sudden wave of sorrow washed over me.

　　Why isn't this gun popular?

　　I'm about to go viral! Here's a little advertisement: A man who doesn't drink has lived in vain! If you're going to drink, drink [Brand Name]! Both are womanizers, but Tian Boguang can be sworn brothers with the protagonist because of [Brand Name]! Yun Zhonghe, however, is abandoned even by his own boss, simply because he doesn't drink [Brand Name]!

　　And that's how it turned out.
