Chapter - 324 Recuperating In a Secret Chamber (12) (1/2)
Lu Guanying understood the danger, he quickly ducked and the whisk followed by sweeping downward. Suddenly a tender voice was shouting, ”Yin Shige!” Cheng Yaojia thrust her sword to block the whisk. Lu Guanying took that opportunity to leap back and pick his saber from the ground.
Yin Zhiping coldly laughed, ”Good! Cheng Shimei, you are helping an outsider. Come! You two lovers can fight me together.”
”You … you …” Cheng Yaojia stammered.
'Swish! Swish! Swish!' Ying Zhiping swept his whisk three times, forcing her to move her hands and feet in a disorderly manner. Lu Guanying saw her precarious situation he raised his saber and joined the fight two against one. But Cheng Yaojia did not want to fight her martial brother, so she jumped back.
”Come!” Yin Zhiping said, ”He cannot fight me alone. Otherwise, in a while you will come and help him anyway.”
Huang Rong watched these three people fighting each other in amusement; she was wondering how this matter could be resolved when suddenly she heard some noise from the door. She saw Peng Lianhu, Sha Tongtian, along with Wanyan Honglie, Yang Kang, and the others came in together.
It turned out they had been waiting for Hou Tonghai for a long time and he did not come back. Sha Tongtian was concerned over his martial brother, so gathering his courage he quietly came over to take a look. He saw inside the inn two people were fighting; their martial art skills were only average. He waited for a long time but did not see anybody else. He was afraid to come in alone, so he went back and summoned the others, taking them back to the inn.
Yin and Lu two people saw these people came in; they leaped back and stopped fighting. They asked these newcomers, but Sha Tongtian swayed and stepped forward with arms open wide, grabbing both men's wrists. Meanwhile Peng Lianhu stooped down and untied Hou Tonghai's hands.
Hou Tonghai had been suffering for half a day; he was really angry. Without taking out the cloths in his mouth he roared and threw himself at Cheng Yaojia, attacking her with his palms. Cheng Yaojia evaded by moving backward in a circle. Hou Tonghai's face was purple from the bruise; his fists went straight up and down fiercely attacking Cheng Yaojia.
”Hold on!” Peng Lianhu repeatedly said, ”Let's talk first.” But Hou Tonghai's mouth and ears were stopped with cloths, how could he have heard anything?
The acupoint on Lu Guanying's wrist was grabbed by Sha Tongtian; he felt half of his body went numb, he could not move. But seeing Cheng Yaojia in danger and Hou Tonghai was like a mad tiger; he struggled hard and without knowing where the strength came from, he shook Sha Tongtian's grab loose and fiercely threw himself toward Hou Tonghai.
Before he reached his target Peng Lianhu swept his leg and sent him tumbling down and immediately Peng Lianhu pounced on him. He grabbed Lu Guanying by the back of his neck and lifted him up; ”Who are you?” he asked, ”Where is that fellow who played ghost?”
Suddenly the door creaked and it opened slowly. Everybody turned their head at once, but nobody came in. Peng Lianhu and the others could not help but feel shivers of fear in their hearts; suddenly a female head with disheveled hair sticking out was at the door. Liang Ziweng and Lingzhi Shangren jumped up in fright; they even shouted, ”Not good! A female ghost!”
