Chapter - 155 Repentance of the Haughty Dragon (8) (1/2)
But even if he knew only one blow, the dumb little fellow held it in respect and it there could not nothing. All two restèrent therefore immobilized on their position.
” Silly fellow!” Liang Ziwong cried then. ” You'd better watch out!”
He jumps on his young opponent, who turned to his many times tested formula. Now Liang changed direction squarely flight and sudden struck out three «Acupoint Piercing Bones», that sped towards the young man in three different directions. Guo Jing hurriedly dodged, Liang Ziwong took advantage to thrust himself forward with the speed of light, and seized him by the nape of his neck. Very frightened, the young man struck an elbow blow at the chest of his opponent but, to his great astonishment, he felt the impression that his elbow had sunk itself in a soft mass, like cotton.
Liang Ziwong prepared himself to deal a fatal blow when he heard Huang Rong scream:
” Old monster! Look here!”
Knowing that she was very crafty, he decided not to take any risk: he struck Guo Jing upon the «Jianjing» point, so that he was unable to move, before turning his head. He saw then the girl advancing slowly, and anxiously saw that in her hand was a bamboo stick, its green as clear as jade, which froze him in terror.
” Hong…” he stammered, stunned. ” Grand Master Hong!”
” So, why haven't you released him!” threatened Huang Rong.
At the time, when he had heard someone calling out his blows before he even carried them out, Liang Ziwong already was very surprised, but he had not thought that it could be Qi Gong. Now, at the appearance of the green bamboo stick, he realized that the voice behind the window was indeed that of the person that he dreaded most in the world. Terrified, he quickly freed Guo Jing.
Brandishing the stick, Huang Rong approached him and said severely:
” Qi Gong wants to ask you how, while he deigned to speak, you dare again to do evil here? What impudence!”
Liang Ziwong tumbled to his knees:
” Your servant did not know that Grand Master Hong was there,” he stuttered. ” Even if I had courage, I never would have dared to offend Grand Master Hong.”
” This fellow is, nonetheless, very powerful,” Huang Rong said to herself, astonished. ” How is it that he is so terrified of just the mention of Qi Gong's name? And why does he call him Grand Master Hong?”
But she didn't allow any of her thoughts to appear and assumed a threatening air:
”And which punishment do you deserve?”
” I beg you to please say some words in my favor with Grand Master Hong! Said him that Liang Ziwong recognizes his great sins and that he implores Grandmaster Hong to spare his life!”
” To say a word in your favor, why not? But several words, this would be really too much to ask. In the future, you mustn't cause trouble to both of us.”
” Your servant offended you in his ignorance,” said Liang Ziwong. ” I you taken of not to hold some for me harshness. In the future, indeed, I will not dare anymore to do…”
Huang Rong, very proud of herself, smiled and reentered the inn, hand in hand with Guo Jing. They found Qi Gong sitting in front of a well-laid table, a knife in the left hand, chopsticks in his right hand, in the process of treating himself.
” Qi Gong,” said Huang Rong while laughing. ” He's on his knees and doesn't dare to move even a hair.”
”Give him a hiding to unwind you, he certainly won't dare to defend himself.”
By the window, Guo Jing saw Liang Ziwong kneeling petrified, with his three disciples behind him, also kneeling, all four looking miserable. He felt pity for them and said:
” Qi Gong, why not forgive them?”
” Little good-for-nothing without character,” Qi Gong reprimanded. ” Someone comes here to trouble you, you aren't capable of defending yourself, I you except the placement and you want to forgive to your enemy! To what that resembles, I ask you?
