Chapter - 511 Secret Manual And Military Treatise are Hidden Within (4) (1/2)

What happened was: during the fierce battle, with arms open wide, Xie Xun's palms struck down toward Cheng Kun. Cheng Kun was delighted. ”Got you!” he shouted, while the two fingers of his right hand struck Xie Xun's eyes. It was the move 'shuang long qiang zhu' [a pair of dragons fight over a pearl], which was quite common. However, because it was launched in the midst of 'xiao qin na shou', it carried an enormous power. He expected the opponent to lean sideways to evade, and then his left hand would sweep across the opponent head. He was certain the opponent's vital 'tai yang xue' [sun acupoint, located on the temples] would be hit. Contrary to his expectation, Xie Xun neither evaded nor blocked his strike; he also shouted, ”Got you!” with the same 'shuang long qiang zhu' his two fingers poked Cheng Kun's eyes.

As soon as Cheng Kun's fingers pierced Xie Xun's eyes, like a flash of lightning a thought came into his mind, ”Bad!” followed by stabbing pain as his own eyes were pierced by Xie Xun's two fingers.

Both men suffered the same injury. However, Xie Xun had been blind for a long time. As he was pierced by Cheng Kun's fingers, he only suffered some superficial wound. Cheng Kun, on the other hand, had turned blind.

With a cold laugh Xie Xun said, ”Does it feel good, being a blind man?” With a loud shout he launched another punch.

Cheng Kun could not see anything; he was unable to evade. The 'Qi Shang Quan' hit him squarely on the chest. Xie Xun followed with a left hand punch. Cheng Kun staggered several steps backward until his back was against the broken pine tree; blood gushing out from his mouth.

Suddenly Du E opened his mouth, ”Just retribution! Shanzai, shanzai!”

Xie Xun stopped dead on his track; he had concentrated his power on the third punch, but right now it stopped midway. ”I should have punched you thirteen times with the 'Qi Shang Quan'; but your martial art skill is gone and you are blind, henceforth you have become a handicapped person and thus will not do wicked things on the earth anymore. You need not receive the remaining eleven punches.”

Seeing that Xie Xun achieved a total victory, Zhang Wuji and the others cheered. But suddenly Xie Xun sat on the ground; the bones on his entire body were cracking.

Zhang Wuji was shocked, knowing that Xie Xun was using his own internal energy to destroy his own martial art skill. ”Yifu,” he hastily said, ”Don't!” He rushed forward and stretching out his hand, using the Jiu Yang Shen Gong, he pressed Xie Xun's back to stop him.

Xie Xun suddenly leaped up and fiercely punched his own chest; blood gushing out from his mouth.

Zhang Wuji busily reached out to support him, but he felt that Xie Xun's hand was feeble. His martial art skill had definitely gone, and would be very difficult to recover.

Xie Xun pointed his finger toward Cheng Kun and said, ”Cheng Kun, you murdered my entire family. Today I destroyed your eyes and wiped out your martial art skill. We are even now. Shifu, my martial art skill was taught by you. Today I willingly destroyed it; I am giving it back to you. From now on, there is no gratitude nor grudges between me and you. You will never see my face again and I also will never see your face.”

Cheng Kun pressed his hands on his eyes. He was groaning from the pain, but did not say anything. The crowd of heroes looked at each other; who would have thought that this battle between master and disciple would end up like this?
