The spear froze inches away from Qiu Chu Ji. Qiu Chu Ji saw that this was indeed the authentic Yang Family Spear and immediately recalled that night's fight in the snow; it was indeed Yang Tie Xin from 18 years ago and a bittersweet feeling washed over him. He said loudly: "Aha, brother Yang, you're still alive? Thank Heaven!"
Yang Tie Xin withdrew his spear and said: "Priest Qiu, save me!" Qiu Chu Ji glanced at the approaching soldiers and said jovially: "Elder martial brother, I'm going to start killing again today, don't get angry!"
Ma Yu replied: "Kill less, just scare them off."
Qiu Chu Ji laughed loudly and took a huge step forward. With a stretch of both arms, he plucked two soldiers off their horses and flung them towards another two soldiers behind. The four soldiers knocked against each other and fell in a heap. Qiu Chu Ji's arms moved at the speed of lightning and, like a canon, had fired eight more soldiers towards another eight.
Terrified, the other soldiers turned their horses and fled. Suddenly, a chiefly figure with a bald and shiny head emerged from behind the fleeing soldiers. He bellowed: "Where has this scoundrel come from?" With a slight sway of his body, he had already stole up to Qiu Chu Ji and attacked with his palms. Qiu Chu Ji saw that this person was highly agile. Raising his palms to obstruct the attack, their palms met with a clap and both subsequently withdrew three paces. Surprised, Qiu Chu Ji thought to himself: "Who is this person with such good kungfu?"
Little did he know that the Dragon King of Hades Sha Tong Tian was concealing the pain in his arms from their exchange and was even more surprised than he. With an angry roar, Sha Tong Tian swung his fists forward. Qiu Chu Ji did not dare to be sluggish and with full might and concentration, sent both palms darting straight at Sha Tong Tian. After exchanging 10 moves or so, Qiu Chu Ji successfully brushed his palm against Sha Tong Tian, leave five streaks of red on his bald head. Though Sha Tong Tian could not see the marks, he could feel a stinging pain coming from the top of his head. Knowing that he would not be able to beat this Taoist empty handed, he immediately pulled an iron stick from behind. This weapon was heavy but its power was great and with a "Reviving Qin Behind the Sword", the stick struck in the direction of Qiu Chu Ji's shoulder. Qiu Chu Qi greeted the attack with his technique of seizing weapons with bare hands. But Sha Tong Tian had been using this weapon for more than 10 years and had extraordinary skill with it, and Qiu Chu Ji failed in his attempt.
Deep down, Qiu Chu Ji marveled at this and was just about to ask for his name when someone from the left shouted: "Who is this priest from Quan Zhen Sect?"
This voice carried immense power. Qiu Chu Ji leapt towards his right and saw four people – it was Peng Lian Hu, Ouyang Ke, Liang Zi Weng and Hou Tong Hai.
Qiu Chu Ji cupped his fist and said: "My surname is Qiu, may I know your names?"
Qiu Chu Ji's mighty name was well-known and feared in the Northen and Southern parts.
Sha Tong Tian and the others all thought: "No wonder he is so famous. He is indeed powerful."
Peng Lian Hu thought: "We've already injured Wang Chu Yi and forged animosity with Quan Zhen Sect. If we combine forces and kill Qiu Chu Ji today, our names travel far and wide!" He shouted: "Everyone attack together."
Before he even finished pronouncing the last word, Peng Lian Hu had already retrieved his Judgmental Twin Brush and advanced towards Qiu Chu Ji. He knew this opponent was powerful and was vicious on the onslaught, targeting his Yun Men acupoint at the top and his Tai He acupoint below. These two hits came in full force and left no room for mercy.
Qiu Chu Ji thought to himself: "This shorty is impudent! To be fair, his skills are also above average." With a swiping sound he drew out his sword and pierced Peng Lian Hu's right arm, scraped Sha Tong Tian's waist and, collecting back the sword, sent its hilt ramming into the critical Zhang Men acupoint at the side of Hou Tong Hai's rib. With one move he had struck three people, displaying amazing skill with the sword. Sha Tong Tian and Peng Lian Hu propped themselves up with their weapons. Hou Tong Hai had narrowly missed having his acupoint blocked and managed to withdraw quickly, but alas a heavy kick on the buttocks sent him flying to the ground. Call it a coincidence but he landed straight on the three lumps on his head. Inwardly shaken, Liang Zi Weng propelled himself forward like a monkey and attacked.
Ouyang Ke saw that Qiu Chu Ji was occupied with Sha Tong Tian and Peng Lian Hu, and now Liang Zi Weng had also joined in. It was an advantage that just begged to be taken, and if not now – when? Brandishing a void move with his left hand, his right hand moved to block Qiu Chu Ji's "Tao Dao", "Hun Men" and "Zhong Shu" acupoints with his iron fan. It seemed like Qiu Chu Ji had no way out when a figure shifted beside him and in a flash, a single hand reached out and halted the passage of his fan. So it was that Ma Yu had been observing in silence by the stands and was flabbergasted when a group of highly-skilled pugilists ganged up against his younger Martial Brother. With just three fingers he had trapped the fan; Ouyang Ke immediately felt a surge of formidable inner power coming from the handle of his fan and quickly leapt backwards in astonishment.
Ma Yu did not pursue him, but said: "Gentlemen, may I know who you are? We have never met. If there has been some misunderstanding we can talk it over, why resort to violence?" Though his tone was gentle, his voice carried abundant Qi. The projection for each word was crystal clear and bore straight into their eardrums. Sha Tong Tian and the others were immersed in their fighting when Ma Yu's sentences made them go cold. They collectively ceased fighting and withdrew, appraising Ma Yu.
Ouyang Ke said: "Priest, what is your revered name?"
Ma Yu replied: "My surname is Ma."
Peng Lian Hu said: "Ah, so it is the Scarlet Sun Reverend, Priest Ma. We have been rude."
Ma Yu replied: "With my shallow cultivation, how dare I claim the title of Reverend?"
Though Peng Lian Hu coated his words with politeness, inwardly he was thinking: "Since we have already created a grudge with Quan Zhen Sect, it is unlikely that there will be any goodwill to forgive and forget. These two characters are the main pillars of Quan Zhen Sect and we have fortunately caught them alone. If we join forces and finish them off today, we will have less to worry about in future. I just wonder if there are any skilled pugilists from Quan Zhen in the vicinity." A quick look around revealed only the 3 members of the Yang family – there were no priests around.
Peng Lian Hu said: "I have long admired the great name of the Quan Zhen Seven. Where are the other five? How about inviting them here so we can meet them?"
Ma Yu replied: "Instead of concentrating on cultivation, my Martial Brothers have often meddled in worldly affairs and earned themselves an empty reputation. I'm afraid they have made a fool of themselves. The seven of us live in separate Taoist monasteries and hardly gather together. I have made this trip to Zhong Du with my Martial Brother Qiu to look for our Martial Brother Wang, and by chance met all of you. All the world's martial arts branched from the same stem. Red lotus or white root, we all come from the same family. Since we have affinity, how about becoming friends?" Being honest by nature, Ma Yu never expected that Peng Lian Hu was merely sounding him out.
