"Everyone, stop fighting," he yelled. "My wife and I will end our lives here and let that be the end of it." Raising his spear, he stabbed it towards his heart. With a "pu" sound, blood splattered in all directions and he fell backwards.
Bao Xi Ruo felt no sadness. With a bitter smile, she pulled the spear out from her husband's body and propped it on the floor, saying to Wan Yan Kang: "Child, you still don't believe he's your real father?" She leaned forward and sank into the tip of the spear.
The color flew from Wan Yan Kang's face in his horror. "Mother!" He cried, rushing forward to save her. Upon seeing this astonishing development, Qiu Chu Ji and the others stopped fighting. Reaching her side, Wan Yan Kang saw her soft and dangling body and the spear piercing through her chest, and he started sobbing without restraint. Qiu Chu Ji went forward to inspect the couple's wounds and saw that the spear had struck at fatal points of their bodies. There was no room for hope. Wan Yan Kang held his mother and Mu Nian Ci held Yang Tie Xin; the two of them wept in grief.
Qiu Chu Ji said to Yang Tie Xin: "Brother Yang, tell me if you have any wish and I will see that it gets done. I… I still didn't manage to save you in the end, I… I…" He felt a dull ache in his heart and choked in sorrow.
At this very moment came the sound of footsteps. Everyone turned and saw the 6 Freaks of Jiang Nan hurrying over with Guo Jing. On seeing Sha Tong Tian and the others, the 6 Freaks immediately pulled out their weapons. Going closer, they saw a man and a woman on the floor and looks of surprise set in to their faces. They turned around and saw Ma Yu and Qiu Chu Ji, and were surprised even further.
Guo Jing saw Yang Tie Xin lying on the floor with blood all over and hurriedly went to his side. "Uncle Yang, how are you feeling?" He asked.
Yang Tie Xin was barely alive and broke into a smile when he saw Guo Jing. "Your late father and I had a pact, if we bore a son and daughter then they would be married," he said. "I don't have a daughter, but this foster daughter is like my own…" He turned his gaze to Qiu Chu Ji. "Priest Qiu, help me see to this marriage and I… I will go in peace…"
"That's easy. Don't worry," Qiu Chu Ji assured him.
Bao Xi Ruo was lying beside her husband and clutched his arm with her left hand, afraid that he would leave her again. In a haze, she heard him mention the betrothal agreement from years ago. She fought to retrieve a dagger from her robes and said: "This… this is the token of remembrance…" She then said: "Brother Tie, we are finally dying together, I'm… I'm so happy…" With that, she gave a small smile and passed away peacefully, looking warm and enchanting as always. Qiu Chu Ji received the dagger and saw that it was none other than his gift to them at Ox Village in Lin'An; the words 'Guo Jing' were carved on its handle.
Yang Tie Xin said to Guo Jing: "On… on account of your late father, I hope you treat my daughter well…"
"I… I can't…" stuttered Guo Jing.
Qiu Chu Ji said: "I will see to everything, go… go in peace!"
Yang Tie Xin had initially given up hope of finding Guo Xiao Tian's descendent, and so arranged the 'joust for a spouse' for Mu Nian Ci. Today he was not only reunited with his beloved wife, but also found his sworn brother's son so his daughter would have a husband to rely on. With that, he had no further regrets and closed his eyes for the last time.
Guo Jing was both sad and confused, thinking: "Rong'er has deep feelings for me, how can I marry someone else?" At this thought, his mind suddenly turned to something else and he was further taken aback. "How could I have forgotten Hua Zheng? The Khan has betrothed her to me, this… this… how could this do?"
All this time he had often kept his good friend Tolui in his thoughts, but seldom did he think of Hua Zheng. Although the 6 Freaks had felt this wish to be difficult to fulfill, they couldn't bear to say so in front of Yang Tie Xin, a dying man.
Wan Yan Hong Lie had gone through lengths of scheming to be able to marry Bao Xi Ruo, but in the end she was still unable to forget her husband. For over ten years he had loved and labored for her, but at the end of it all, things still unfolded this way. Though she was dead, Wan Yang Hong Lie saw true happiness and contentment in her face. In all their 18 years of marriage, when had she ever looked at him this way? He might be a prince, but in her heart he was much, much inferior to a village peasant. Despondent and heart-broken, he turned to leave.
Though the three priests from Quan Zhen were injured, the arrival of the 6 Freaks meant that Sha Tong Tian and the others wouldn't necessarily win. Since the Prince had already turned to leave, they followed also.
"Hey, San Hei Mao," shouted Qiu Chu Ji, "leave the antidote behind!"
Peng Lian Hu laughed. "Your Stockade-Chief goes by the surname Peng, people in the pugilistic world call me the Butcher With A Thousand Hands. Priest Qiu, have you lost your eyes?"
Qiu Chu Ji went cold, thinking: "No wonder this person is so powerful, so it is him." On seeing that the poison had penetrated deep into his Elder Martial Brother's body and only the unique antidote from Peng Lian Hu could save him, he said aloud, "Who cares if you've got a thousand hands or ten thousand? If you don't leave the antidote behind, don't hope to leave this place." Maneuvering his sword exquisitely, a flash of brilliant light advanced towards Peng Lian Hu.
Though only left with one brush, Peng Lian Hu was not afraid. Brandishing it, they clashed head-on.
Zhu Cong saw that Ma Yu was seated on the ground, working his internal energy. One of his palms had gone all black.
"Priest Ma, how did you get hurt?"
Ma Yu sighed. "I was shaking hands with that fellow Peng, and he hid poison needles in his palm."
"Ah. He's not that great." Turning to Ke Zhen'E, he said, "Elder Brother, pass me a caltrop." Not understanding his intentions, Ke Zhen'E retrieved a poisonous caltrop from his bag and handed it to him. Zhu Cong turned to look at the fight between Qiu Chu Ji and Peng Lian Hu – the fight was intense, and it would be impossible to break it up with his level of kungfu alone.
"Elder Brother, let's go and break them apart. I have a plan that can save Priest Ma," he said. Ke Zhen'E nodded.
"So it is the Butcher with a Thousand Hands, Chief Peng!" shouted Zhu Cong. "We're all on the same side, stop fighting. I have something to say." Pulling Ke Zhen'E along, the two went forward and broke them apart – Zhu Cong with his fan and Ke Zhen'E with his staff.
Both Qiu Chu Ji and Peng Lian Hu felt surprised upon hearing Zhu Cong's remark and thought: "How come we're 'on the same side' now?" Seeing the 2 Freaks come forward, they broke apart and waited to hear how exactly they were 'on the same side'.
Laughing cheerfully, Zhu Cong said to Peng Lian Hu: "18 years ago, the 7 Freaks of Jiang Nan and Priest Qiu had a small dispute that landed 5 of our brothers injured. On the other hand, the famed Priest Qiu also sustained heavy injuries that nearly left him dead. This dispute has yet to be resolved…" Zhu Cong turned to Qiu Chu Ji. "Am I right, Priest Qiu?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
