After a bit of walking, suddenly loud shouting came from ahead as another group of soldiers came charging in. The two men silently groaned. As they were looking for another direction to run to, arrows started coming in from ahead. Suddenly, Bao Xiruo screamed, "Ai-Yo!" For her ride was hit by an arrow and fell over, throwing the two women on its back off. Yang Tiexin said, "Brother, you guard them, I'll go get another horse." He charged toward the crowd of soldiers. Ten or so soldiers lined up, pointed their spears at Yang Tiexin, and let out a yell together.
Seeing the overwhelming number of enemies, Guo Xiaotian thought, "For us two brothers, escaping is not hard. But with enemies in front and behind, there is no way our wives could escape. It is not like we broke any laws, so going to the courthouse in Lin'an to argue our case is much better than dying for no reason here. Last time Father Qiu Chuji killed all of the men there, not a single one of them got away. Therefore nobody is there to prove we did it, so the court can't say for sure that we were guilty of anything. Besides, the two of us didn't kill any officials or Jin soldiers." So he yelled, "Brother, stop it. Let's go with them!" Yang Tiexin was very surprised by this and ran back dragging his spear behind him.
The leader of this group of soldiers ordered the men to stop shooting and surround the two men. Then he shouted, "Throw down your weapons and arrows, then your life will be spared."
Yang Tiexin spoke up, "Brother, don't fall for their lies." Guo Xiaotian shook his head for a while and then threw his twin halberds onto the ground. Yang Tiexin looked over at his beloved wife and could not bear the frightened look on her face. He sighed and threw his spear on the ground as well. As soon as both of their weapons fell on the ground, 10 or so long spears immediately came and surrounded the 4 of them. Eight foot soldiers walked up and tied the 4 of them up with their hands behind their backs.
Yang Tiexin held his head up high and sneered. The leader of the group lifted his horse whip up and smacked Yang Tiexin squarely on his face, "Damn traitor! Do you really want to die?" A welt appeared on Yang Tiexin's face from his forehead all the way down to his neck. In rage, Yang Tiexin replied, "Ok! What is your name?" That official got even angrier as his whip came down like rain, "Your old man here is Duan TianDe! Remember that? When you get to the gates of hell you can tell them all about me!" Yang Tiexin did not back up or flinch at all as he just stood there staring at him. Duan TianDe continued, "I got a knife scar on my forehead and a birthmark on my face! Can you remember all that?" His whip came down some more.
Seeing her husband being treated like this, Bao Xiruo cried out while tears rolled down her cheeks, "He's a good man and has done nothing wrong. Why are you… you beating him? Don't… Don't you know anything about justice?" Yang Tiexin suddenly spit at him, hitting him in the face. Furious, Duan TianDe pulled out his sabre and screamed, "I'm going to kill you traitor right now!" He brought his sabre up and swung it down. Yang Tiexin sidestepped the strike. The two foot soldiers at his side pushed their spears up against his sides to stop him from moving as Duan TianDe chopped down once again. With nowhere to dodge on the sides, Yang Tiexin could only jump back to avoid the strike. Turns out this Duan TianDe knows a little bit of kungfu, even though he missed again, he immediately thrusted his sabre forward. The sabre he was using is saw-toothed and with his move he sawed a gash on Yang Tiexin's left shoulder. He then immediately followed it with another chop.
Seeing that his sworn brother's life is in grave danger, Guo Xiaotian suddenly jumped up and aimed his feet at Duan TianDe's face. In shock, Duan TianDe brought his sword back to parry this away. Even though Guo Xiaotian's hands were tied behind his back, his footwork was still quite formidable. So before his body fell down, he twirled his left leg and brought it back and, at the same time, sent out his right leg, hitting Duan TianDe in his stomach.
In extreme pain and rage, Duan TianDe shouted, "Stick those spears in them! Orders from above, if the traitor resist arrest, then kill them all!" The soldiers stabbed forth with their spears. Guo Xiaotian kicked down two soldiers in a row, but with his hands tied behind his back his quickness was restricted as he had to jump away from spears. Duan TianDe came up from behind him and swung down hard, chopping Guo Xiaotian's entire right arm off at the shoulders. Yang Tiexin was trying to struggle out of the ropes but could not no matter how hard he tried. Suddenly seeing his sworn brother wounded on the ground, a surge of strength came from nowhere inside of him. He snapped the ropes off his body, punched a soldier, grabbed his spear, and whipped out the Yang Family Spear. This time he is fighting without regards to his own life, it was as if he could take on tens of thousands of soldiers all by himself. He had just started but had already taken down two soldiers. Seeing that the situation has turned, Duan TianDe immediately back away. Last time Yang Tiexin was holding back somewhat, not really wanting to kill government soldiers; but now he could not care less. Flicking right and swinging left, he killed several soldiers in an instant. Seeing his ferociousness, the rest of the soldiers scattered at once.
Yang Tiexin did not bother chasing them as he helped his sworn brother sit up. Blood is gushing out where Guo Xiaotian's arm was chopped off and by now his whole body was covered in blood. Yang Tiexin could not stop his tears from falling down at the sight. Guo Xiaotian gritted his teeth and shouted out, "Brother, don't worry about me… leave, leave now!" Yang Tiexin replied desperately, "I'm going to get a horse, and then I'm going to fight until I die to make sure you escape." Guo Xiaotian faintly replied, "No… no…." He passed out. Yang Tiexin took off his outer shirt so he can bandage up the wound. But Duan TianDe chopped off his shoulder and portions of his chest as well, the wound is almost half-a-body in length, impossible to bandage up. Guo Xiaotian had slowly come to and shouted, "Brother, go save our wives. I… I can't… make it…." Before he finished what he was saying, he slumped over and died.
The two sworn brothers always thought of each other as real blood brothers. Seeing his brother die like this, a phrase popped up amidst the anger and the rage in Yang Tiexin's mind. It is the phrase that they said when they became sworn brothers, "Hope to die on the same day of the same month of the same year." He lifted his head up to look around. The two wives had gone missing in all the chaos.
He screamed, "Brother, I'm going to avenge your death!" He grabbed his spear and ran toward the crowd of soldiers. By now, the soldiers have already line up in formation. Duan TianDe issued an order and immediately, arrows came flying out towards him. Yang Tiexin did not care, knocking the arrows out of the way and charged ahead. An official swung the sabre in his hand down hard at Yang Tiexin's head. Yang Tiexin ducked and suddenly scrambled underneath the belly of his ride. That official was just about to turn his horse around when a spear penetrated through his heart from the back. Yang Tiexin threw off the corpse and jumped onto the horse. Waving his spears around, none of the soldiers dared to come closer to battle as they started to run off.
