Chapter - 513 Right And Wrong, Good And Evil (8) (2/2)
Guo Jing's entire face turned red; indeed he did not dare to kiss her. Huang Rong flashed a captivating smile; she was fully aware that she had embarrassed both Guo Jing and herself, so she changed the subject again, ”On the sword meet tomorrow, who do you say will win?” she asked.
”That is really difficult to say,” Guo Jing replied, ”I wonder if Reverend Yideng is coming?”
”The reverend has entered emptiness; he would not want to fight over empty reputation,” Huang Rong reasoned.
Guo Jing nodded his agreement, ”I think so too. Your father, Benevolent Master Hong, Big Brother Zhou, Qiu Qianren and Ouyang Feng, five people; each one is the grandmaster of their respective school, each one has their own unique skill. I am just wondering if Benevolent Master Hong has recovered from his injury. Can his skill level back to where it was?” Remembering his master Guo Jing was saddened.
”Reasonably speaking, the Old Urchin's martial art is the strongest,” Huang Rong said, ”However, if he does not use the martial art from the Nine Yin Manual, then he is still inferior to the other four.”
Two people talked until Huang Rong felt tired; then she leaned on Guo Jing's bosom and fell asleep. Guo Jing was also weary and was dozing off when suddenly he heard footsteps approaching. Two dark shadows, one in front of the other, were rushing over the cliff. Those two people's clothes were fluttering in the wind, they were running very fast. From their footwork, looked like the one in the front was the Old Urchin Zhou Botong, and the one pursuing him was surprisingly Qiu Qianren. Guo Jing did not know that Qiu Qianren had used vipers to scare Zhou Botong off; he was baffled, in the western region Qiu Qianren was running away for his life because of Zhou Botong, how come the situation was reversed now? Lightly he nudged Huang Rong and whispered in her ear, ”Look!”
Huang Rong raised her head and saw under the moonlight Zhou Botong eloped to the east and escaped to the west; did not dare to face the enemy at all. Zhou Botong was heard shouting, ”Old thief surnamed Qiu, I have somebody here who is an expert in catching viper; you'd better run away as quick as you can!”
Qiu Qianren laughed, ”Do you think I am a three-year old kid?” he said.
”Guo Xiongdi [Brother Guo], Miss Huang! Come and help me, please!” Zhou Botong shouted.
Guo Jing was about to leap out, but Huang Rong pushed his chest back, ”Don't move!” she hissed.
Zhou Botong had run around in circles yet did not see Jing and Rong two people come out, he started to curse, ”Stinky Kid, Crafty Girl, if you don't come out, I am going to curse your ancestors to the eighteenth generation.”
Huang Rong stood up and laughed, ”I don't want to come out, curse if you can.”
Zhou Botong saw the vipers in Qiu Qianren's hands lifted their heads high with their tongues stuck out; he was so scared that his knees turned into jelly. ”Miss Huang, please come, please come. What about if I curse my own ancestors to the eighteenth generation?” he begged.
Qiu Qianren was shocked to see Jing and Rong two people were standing nearby. Quickly he cooked up some ideas to slip away; otherwise if those three people ganged up against him, definitely things would not go well for him. Tomorrow would be another story; he would fight each of them on a one-to-one battle, he was not afraid of any of them. He started to move his feet, but before running away he flung the vipers toward Zhou Botong's face.
Zhou Botong wielded his sleeve in panic, he stepped aside to elude; suddenly there was a light plopping sound and he felt something cold fell on his neck, straight through his collar into his back. That something wiggled and bounced around inside his clothes; it felt slippery. He was so scared, it felt like his soul was leaving his body. ”I am dying, I am dying!” he cried. He did not dare to put his hands into his clothes to pull the 'snakes' out; he only jumped around wildly. Suddenly he felt the 'snake' bit him in the chest; he thought he really died this time, his whole body tingled with numbness and he fell down to the ground.
