Chapter - 136 Changchun Admits Defeat (6) (1/2)
The spear froze inches away from Qiu Chu Ji. Qiu Chu Ji saw that this was indeed the authentic Yang Family Spear and immediately recalled that night's fight in the snow; it was indeed Yang Tie Xin from 18 years ago and a bittersweet feeling washed over him. He said loudly: ”Aha, brother Yang, you're still alive? Thank Heaven!”
Yang Tie Xin withdrew his spear and said: ”Priest Qiu, save me!” Qiu Chu Ji glanced at the approaching soldiers and said jovially: ”Elder martial brother, I'm going to start killing again today, don't get angry!”
Ma Yu replied: ”Kill less, just scare them off.”
Qiu Chu Ji laughed loudly and took a huge step forward. With a stretch of both arms, he plucked two soldiers off their horses and flung them towards another two soldiers behind. The four soldiers knocked against each other and fell in a heap. Qiu Chu Ji's arms moved at the speed of lightning and, like a canon, had fired eight more soldiers towards another eight.
Terrified, the other soldiers turned their horses and fled. Suddenly, a chiefly figure with a bald and shiny head emerged from behind the fleeing soldiers. He bellowed: ”Where has this scoundrel come from?” With a slight sway of his body, he had already stole up to Qiu Chu Ji and attacked with his palms. Qiu Chu Ji saw that this person was highly agile. Raising his palms to obstruct the attack, their palms met with a clap and both subsequently withdrew three paces. Surprised, Qiu Chu Ji thought to himself: ”Who is this person with such good kungfu?”
Little did he know that the Dragon King of Hades Sha Tong Tian was concealing the pain in his arms from their exchange and was even more surprised than he. With an angry roar, Sha Tong Tian swung his fists forward. Qiu Chu Ji did not dare to be sluggish and with full might and concentration, sent both palms darting straight at Sha Tong Tian. After exchanging 10 moves or so, Qiu Chu Ji successfully brushed his palm against Sha Tong Tian, leave five streaks of red on his bald head. Though Sha Tong Tian could not see the marks, he could feel a stinging pain coming from the top of his head. Knowing that he would not be able to beat this Taoist empty handed, he immediately pulled an iron stick from behind. This weapon was heavy but its power was great and with a ”Reviving Qin Behind the Sword”, the stick struck in the direction of Qiu Chu Ji's shoulder. Qiu Chu Qi greeted the attack with his technique of seizing weapons with bare hands. But Sha Tong Tian had been using this weapon for more than 10 years and had extraordinary skill with it, and Qiu Chu Ji failed in his attempt.
Deep down, Qiu Chu Ji marveled at this and was just about to ask for his name when someone from the left shouted: ”Who is this priest from Quan Zhen Sect?”
This voice carried immense power. Qiu Chu Ji leapt towards his right and saw four people – it was Peng Lian Hu, Ouyang Ke, Liang Zi Weng and Hou Tong Hai.
Qiu Chu Ji cupped his fist and said: ”My surname is Qiu, may I know your names?”
Qiu Chu Ji's mighty name was well-known and feared in the Northen and Southern parts.
Sha Tong Tian and the others all thought: ”No wonder he is so famous. He is indeed powerful.”
Peng Lian Hu thought: ”We've already injured Wang Chu Yi and forged animosity with Quan Zhen Sect. If we combine forces and kill Qiu Chu Ji today, our names travel far and wide!” He shouted: ”Everyone attack together.”
