The Six Freaks of Jiangnan – along with Guo Jing and Huang Rong, were delighted and secretly admired their host.
Qiu Qianren smiled, but did not say anything. His left hand gripped the wine cup, his right hand moved toward the cup mouth, revolving the cup around in his hand. Suddenly he flipped his right hand and flicked the cup away. To everybody's amazement the cup was cut smooth into two parts: the cup bottom and about half an inch of porcelain ring. To crush the cup is not difficult, but to cut the cup smooth was a demonstration of profound energy worthy of everybody's respect.
Village Master Lu realized he was being threatened. But while he was still hesitating, Horse God Han Baoju had already leaped out of his seat. Angrily he called out, "Shameless scoundrel, let us see who is superior, you or I!"
Qiu Qianren did not falter. "I have heard the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan's stellar reputation for a long time. Today I want to see whether what I heard is true or not. All six of you, come!"
Village Master Lu knew Han Baoju was no match to the old man. He was delighted to hear the old man challenged all six of them. He quickly said, "The Six Freaks of Jiangnan always move forward and backward together. Facing a single enemy or fighting an army, the six go together, not a single one of them willing to be left behind."
Zhu Cong understood very well the Village Master's intention. "Very well," he said, "let us six brothers and sister fight this famous Wulin character!" He waved his hand and immediately his five brothers and sister left their seats.
Qiu Qianren also stood up; he picked his chair up and strolled to the center of the hall, laid down the chair and sat down; his right foot above his left. Calmly he said, "This old man will fight you sitting down."
Ke Zhen'E and the others were startled. He knew that the old man would not dare to act so arrogantly if he did not have a very high level of martial arts.
While his six masters have not made any move yet, Guo Jing quickly moved forward. He had heard amazing stories about this old man's kungfu, and knew his masters were not this old man's match. He had received his masters' kindness and even though he knew the risk, he stepped in front of his masters and boldly said, "Junior is asking for some lessons from the Senior."
Qiu Qianren was surprised, but then exploded in laughter. "It wasn't easy for your parent to raise you. Why would you waste your unworthy life for nothing in this place?"
Ke Zhen'E and the others called out almost in unison, "Jing'er, move back!"
But Guo Jing was determined. He was afraid his masters would hold him back, so without saying anything he bent his left leg a little bit and moved his right palm in a circular motion, and then thrust it forward, hard. It was the Proud Dragon Showing Remorse from the '18 Dragon-Subduing Palms', which he had trained hard unceasingly up to that day; therefore, it could not be compared with when Hong Qigong first taught him.
Qiu Qianren had seen Han Baoju's skill when he leaped out of his seat. It wasn't extraordinary. Naturally, he thought Han's disciple would not be good either. It was beyond his comprehension that Guo Jing's attack was so fierce. He was shocked and hastily leaped up from his chair, only to hear a loud cracking sound. His chair was destroyed by Guo Jing's palm.
"Confounded kid!" he shouted angrily when his body had landed back on the ground.
Guo Jing was a bit wary; he did not dare to advance. "Senior, please give me some pointers," he said politely.
Huang Rong wanted to disturb Qiu Qianren's mind, she called out, "Brother Jing, don't be so polite to this old scoundrel!"
The old man was livid! Ever since he roamed the Jianghu, who would dare to call him 'old scoundrel' in front of his face? He was about to jump and thrust his palm to attack her, but suddenly remembered his own reputation. He sneered and lifted his right hand and positioned his left hand on his eyebrows. And then right when Guo Jing moved sideways to fend, redirected his hand to make a claw and retracted it, while the hand on his eyebrows moved forward in circular motion. His right hand followed, changed from fist to palm.
Huang Rong called out, "What's so special about the move? That is the Lone Goose Leaves the Flock from the Open Arm Six Arms Technique!"
Qiu Qianren was surprised she recognized his move. It was indeed the Open Arm Six Arms Technique, which was created based on the Open Arm Five Elements Technique. It was not an extraordinary move; but he had perfected this move for decades. The word 'open' here actually meant that his right and left arms were interchangeable. Guo Jing saw his right hand coming fast, while his left hand moving to the right, then the right hand went back and supported the left hand. So both hands were supporting each other, increasing the strength of both hands. Very fierce.
Guo Jing had seen his amazing strength, and then actually faced him in combat. He was a little bit nervous and did not dare to counterattack. He kept stepping back.
Qiu Qianren thought, "This kid could destroy a chair due to his strength, but actually his martial arts is only so-so." He immediately launched several stances: 'chuan zhang shan pi' [lit. penetrating palm hacking down in a flash], 'liao yin zhang' [lit. lifting the cloud palm technique], 'kua hu deng shan' [lit. step across the tiger to climb a mountain], getting stronger with each stance.
Huang Rong was anxious seeing Guo Jing was losing. She approached the two with the intention of stepping in if Guo Jing was in danger.
Guo Jing saw her coming near, he turned his head to see her anxious face and could not help but feel nervous. Qiu Qianren saw this and wasting no time he attacked with 'bai she tu zhi' [White Snake Spitting Sign], his palm hit Guo Jing squarely on the chest.
Huang Rong and the Six Freaks – as well as Master Lu and his son, all cried in alarm. They thought with Qiu's strength hitting such a vital part, Guo Jing must have been dead or at least severely injured.
Guo Jing was also shocked, so he immediately circulated his chi and lifted both arms up. Strangely, he did not feel too much pain, which puzzled him to no end. Huang Rong saw him staring blankly, thought that he was internally injured and was about to pass out. She immediately jumped forward to support him and asked anxiously, "Brother Jing, are you all right?" Her heart was so shaken that tears flowed from her eyes involuntarily.
Guo Jing's response was unexpected, "I am all right! Let me try again." He stuck his chest out and walked toward Qiu Qianren, boldly said, "You are the Senior Hero Iron Palm, hit me again!"
Qiu Qianren was furious; he immediately hit another palm to Guo Jing's chest with all his might. But instead of collapsing, Guo Jing laughed loudly and shouted, "Masters! Rong'er! This old scoundrel's skill is only ordinary. As long as he did not hit me, his secret was safe, but as soon as he hit me, his secret is revealed!" His word was followed by a sweep of his left arm; forcing Qiu Qianren to step back. "You can feel my palm too!" he shouted.
Qiu Qianren saw his movement and thought, "You said 'palm' but your hand forms a fist, do you think I am blind?" He underestimated Guo Jing's attack; he simply blocked the fist with both hands in front of his chest. Who would have known that Guo Jing was using the 'long zhan yu ye' [Dragon Fight out of the Field], the most mysterious stance of the '18 Dragon-Subduing Palms'; where both left and right arms could be either solid or void without any specific rule.
