Chapter - 344 Broken Marriage of the Purple Dress King (7) (1/2)
”Zhou Shimei, don't eat that!” Jing Xuan shouted.
Zhang Wuji saw the situation was critical; he was ready to jump out and snatch the poison away. Zhao Min hissed into his ear, ”Idiot! It's a fake; that is not a poison.”
Zhang Wuji was stunned, but Zhou Zhiruo had already swallowed the pill. Jing Xuan and the others shouted and rushed toward Jin Hua Popo, ready to strike.
”Excellent, you have guts!” Jin Hua Popo said, ”The poison won't kill you in an hour or two. Miss Zhou, come with me and nicely listen to me. If Lao Po [the old granny] is happy, she might give the antidote to you.” Finished speaking she walked around and slapped and kicked those Emei disciples. Immediately their pain stopped; so their screams stopped as well. Only their limbs were still weak that they would not be able to move for a while.
These people saw with their own eyes that Zhou Zhiruo took the poison to save their lives; they were overwhelmed with gratitude. ”Thank you, Sect Leader!” one of them shouted.
Jin Hua Popo pulled Zhou Zhiruo's hand, ”Good child,” she tenderly said, ”Come with me, Popo won't make things difficult for you.”
Before she could reply, Zhou Zhiruo felt an enormous power pulling her body and she jumped forward against her own will.
”Zhou Shimei …” Jing Xuan shouted and rushed forward, trying to block, but suddenly she felt a strong wind from her side, a finger almost touched her. It was Zhu'Er attacking her from the side. Jing Xuan used her left palm to block, but to her surprise Zhu'Er's move was a fake one. 'Slap!' Ding Minjun's face ate her palm. This 'zhi dong da xi' [aim to the east strike to the west] was indeed Jin Hua Popo's technique.
Zhu'Er chuckled and jumped over the wall.
”After them!” Zhang Wuji said. With one hand pulling Zhao Min along and the other carrying Xiao Zhao, he also jumped over the wall.
Jing Xuan and the others were startled to suddenly see three people coming out from the grass. They tried to pursue after them, but how could their 'qing gong' [lightness skill] be compared to Jian Hua Popo and Zhang Wuji? By the time they jumped over the wall, six people had already disappeared into the darkness.
Zhang Wuji and the others pursued for a dozen of 'zhang's or so. Without slowing down the least bit Jin Hua Popo shouted, ”I am surprised Emei Pai disciples have the courage to pursue Jin Hua Popo. Hey, hey, it's amazing!”
”Let our Sect Leader go!” Zhao Min shouted. Her body swayed and she flew several 'zhang's forward. The tip of her Yitian Sword threatening Jin Hua Popo's back. She was using the 'jin ding fu guang' [golden peak like a ray of light], one of Emei's sword techniques; which she learned from an Emei female disciple in the Wan An Temple. It could not be compared to Miejue Shitai, but it was exquisite nonetheless.
As Jin Hua Popo heard the gust of wind behind her back, she let Zhou Zhiruo go and quickly turned around. Zhao Min flicked her wrist and launched another stance, 'qian feng jing xiu' [a thousand peaks compete to show their elegance].
Jin Hua Popo knew the sword in Zhao Min's hand was the Yitian Sword; she was alarmed yet happy. Stretching out her hand, she tried to snatch the sword away.
