Huang Rong did not have a favorable impression toward Mei Chaofeng, but seeing the Seven Masters humiliate her like this Huang Rong was seething with anger; so after watching for a moment longer she didn't want to watch anymore and gave the hole back to Guo Jing. She still, however, heard the gusts of wind in the other room sometimes intensifying and sometimes slowing down, a sign that the battle was still raging.

At first Guo Jing was puzzled to see the fight; he did not understand why the Seven Masters was fighting Mei Chaofeng by sitting in an irregular formation on the ground. Huang Rong whispered in his ear, "They are sitting according to the Big Dipper Constellation; seven people's internal strengths are connected to each other. Do you see it?"

It was like a reminder to Guo Jing; he remembered the second part of the Nine Yin Manual mentioned the Big Dipper quite often. He had memorized this part by heart, yet he did not understand its meaning. Looking at the Seven Masters launching palm attacks while sitting in a formation suddenly he understood what the Manual was talking about. The more he watched, the happier he became, finally he was unable to restrain his excitement and stood up.

Huang Rong was shocked and quickly pulled him back. Guo Jing shivered in fear and immediately sat down. He pressed his eye against the hole and watched the fight again. This time he more or less understood the essence of the Big Dipper Formation. Although he did not know how to use it, each move and every style the Seven Masters used was like showing him the trick of the trade mentioned in the Nine Yin Manual.

The Nine Yin Manual was the result of a martial art expert Senior's comprehension over ancient Taoist canon. Wang Chongyang developed this formation before he saw the Manual; however, the martial art study within Taoism came from the same root. The basic essence originally did not differ much; therefore, the variations within the formation were not far from the Manual's basic content.

The other time on the Peach Blossom Island Guo Jing had watched Hong Qigong fight Ouyang Feng and he had gained tremendous advantage. However, he was slow, plus the Northern Beggar's and the Western Poison's martial arts were not based on the Manual; therefore, his comprehension was somewhat limited. This time the Seven Masters' martial art and the position they assumed were based on the same Taoism essence with the Manual; everything seemed to fit perfectly and this time he truly gained great benefit.

He saw Mei Chaofeng was in a difficult situation, but the Seven Masters' palm strength was also gradually weakened. Suddenly he heard someone on the doorstep speak, "Yao Xiong, are you going to act first, or do you want Brother to try first?"

Guo Jing was startled, it was Ouyang Feng's voice; he did not know when he came in. The Seven Masters were also surprised to hear his voice; they turned their heads toward the door and saw two men standing side by side on the threshold, one was wearing dark green long robe, the other was dressed in white. They were the two people who chased Zhou Botong the other night.

The Quanzhen Seven Masters made a low whistling noise, stopped fighting, and stood up. Huang Yaoshi said, "What a fine sight! Seven mixed-up hairs [derogatory term for Taoist priests] join forces against my lone disciple. Feng Xiong, if I teach them some lessons, will you say I am bullying some juniors?"

Ouyang Feng said with a smile, "They were being rude to you first; if you do not show your skill, these juniors will not understand the Master of Peach Blossom Island's ability."

Wang Chuyi had seen the Eastern Heretic and the Western Poison at Mount Hua; he was going to step forward to pay his respect to them when suddenly Huang Yaoshi's shadow flashed and struck with the back of his palm. Wang Chuyi stepped back to evade, but he was too slow. 'Slap!' his cheek was squarely hit; he staggered and tumbled down.

Qiu Chuji was shocked, "Quickly return to position!" he called out; but 'Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!' Tan, Liu, Hao and Sun four people were slapped by a palm. Qiu Chuji only saw a dark green shadow flashing by; a palm hacked down right in front of him, the palm shadow suddenly fluttered. Qiu Chuji did not know where the attack would come from; desperately he raised his sleeve, striking toward Huang Yaoshi's chest.

Qiu Chuji's martial art was the chief among the Quanzhen Seven Masters; this strike was not a small matter. Huang Yaoshi had underestimated him a bit too much; unexpectedly he was struck by Qiu Chuji's sleeve and he felt pain on his chest. Hastily he retracted his hand to protect his chest; his left hand went up and grabbed the sleeve, his right hand moved fast toward Qiu Chuji's eyes. Qiu Chuji struggled with all his might and ripped his sleeve. At the same time Ma Yu's and Wang Chuyi's palms came to rescue him. Huang Yaoshi moved very fast; as soon as his strike to Qiu Chuji failed he leaped behind Hao Datong's back and raised his left leg. 'Bang!' he kicked Hao Datong, sending him rolling down on the ground.

This time Guo Jing let Huang Rong look through the small hole. She saw her father greatly demonstrate his invincible might, she was very happy. If she did not remember that Guo Jing still needed two to four hours to recover, she would have already jumped up and cheered.

Ouyang Feng loudly laughed and called out, "Wang Chongyang had accepted this group of rice buckets as his disciples!"

Ever since Qiu Chuji started learning martial art, he never suffered such a defeat. "Return to positions!" he repeatedly shouted. But Huang Yaoshi flashed to the east and swayed to the west, and in a short moment launched seven, eight deathly strikes. Everybody was having a hard time to parry, how could they return to their formation? A couple of 'crack! crack!' sounds was heard; Huang Yaoshi snapped Ma Yu's and Tan Chuduan's swords, he broke and tossed them to the ground.

Qiu Chuji's and Wang Chuyi's pair of swords continued to move upward with the Quanzhen Sect's subtle variations sword technique. As the pair of swords attacked together, their power increased exponentially. Huang Yaoshi did not dare to be negligent; with concentrated attention he launched several counterattacks. In the meantime Ma Yu took this opportunity to return into his 'tian shu' position while launching a palm attack at the same time, giving Tan, Liu and the others the opportunity to return to their respective positions.

As soon as this Big Dipper Formation was assembled, the battle situation changed. 'Tian quan' and 'yu heng' faced the enemy from the front; 'tian ji' and 'kai yang' sent out palm attacks from both sides, 'yao guang' and 'tian xuan' from the back circled to the front.

With four whooshing noise Huang Yaoshi sent out four palm attacks toward four people. "Feng Xiong," he laughed and said, "I did not know Wang Chongyang left behind this kind of skill!" His voice sounded effortless as his hands parried each opponent's palm attack, each one substantially different from the other. Each one of these seven people's attack carried an enormous power; it was incomparable to when they were fighting individually. Immediately Huang Yaoshi used his 'luo ying shen jian zhang fa' [falling (leaves) divine sword palm technique]; his body moved swiftly as if he was skating around randomly while his palms flew as if they were everywhere.

Huang Rong thought, "When Father taught me this 'luo ying shen jian zhang fa', I only know five voids one solid, or seven voids one solid; with the voids to distract the enemy. But I didn't know that these five voids and seven voids can be changed into solids." This amazing fight was certainly not the same as when the Seven Masters were fighting Mei Chaofeng earlier. Not only did Huang Rong watch the fight with baited breath, Ouyang Feng with his level or martial art skill was also startled.
