Chapter - 434 Impending Disaster (4) (1/2)

”Fine,” he said, ”If that's the case, then you must do what I say.”

Guo Jing was very happy. ”Whatever Da Shifu says, disciple will not dare to disobey,” he said.

”If you don't do what I say, I forbid you to see my face in the future and thus our master-disciple relationship is severed,” Ke Zhen'e said.

Guo Jing said, ”Disciple will do my best. If I can't do it, I'd rather die.”

Ke Zhen'e struck his iron staff heavily on the ground and shouted, ”Go and cut the Old Heretic Huang's and his daughter's heads; then you can comeback to see me.”

To say Guo Jing was shocked was an understatement. ”Da … Shi … Shifu …” he stammered with a trembling voice.

”What?” Ke Zhen'e asked.

”I wonder how did Huang Daozhu [Island Master Huang] offend you?” Guo Jing asked.

Ke Zhen'e heaved two heavy sighs. Suddenly he gritted his teeth and said, ”I really wish the Heaven would restore my sight if only for a moment so I can see your face; you, an ungrateful little animal!” Lifting his iron staff high he hacked it down toward the top of Guo Jing's head.

As Ke Zhen'e asked Guo Jing to do something for him, Huang Rong had already had a vague guess. When Ke Zhen'e's iron staff suddenly struck and Guo Jing did not evade, she thought whatever happened, saving Guo Jing's life was more important; hence from the side her bamboo stick intercepted the iron staff before it reached Guo Jing's head with the 'e gou lan lu' [cutting off a vicious dog's path] stance. As it hit the iron staff, the bamboo stick shook and coiled around the staff, pushing it slanting sideways. This Dog Beating Stick Technique was truly marvelous; although her strength was inferior, by borrowing the staff's strength she managed to re-orient its path.

Ke Zhen'e staggered; without waiting for his feet to come to a complete stop he fiercely beat his own chest twice and then ran away to the north. Guo Jing ran after him while calling out, ”Da Shifu, wait!”
