In fact, Huang Rong knew nothing of Gongsun Zhi’s return. However one’s countenance speaks every thing: she observed that there was a furrow in Qiu Qianchi’s forehead and will inform that one thing weighed closely on her thoughts. This was a distinction to the smug and ruthless expression she wore when exiting the Corridor. Huang Rong conjectured that one thing will need to have cropped up within the Valley and so, stated just a few phrases to confirm. Qiu Qianchi’s defensive response advised her that she was likely proper.

“Valley-Proprietor Qiu, your elder brother slipped and fell into the depths of the valley himself, and was undoubtedly not harmed by junior. In case you nonetheless bear a grudge over this matter then junior won’t attempt to keep away from loss of life, however it’s essential to first hand over the antidote to remedy Yang Guo’s poison,” stated Huang Rong. “If I do die, all my associates right here will bear no grudge towards you for it and can even enable you to fend off this pending misfortune and battle the inner enemy. Do you settle for this cut price?”

Huang Rong’s supply appeared extraordinarily advantageous to Qiu Qianchi, seeing because the latter, being a cripple, might solely depend on her highly effective date stone talent to inflict any sort of hurt. Mentioning the phrases ‘inside enemy’ additionally struck Qiu Qianchi’s greatest fear.

Qiu Qianchi thought to herself: “Is not this too good to be true?” Aloud, she stated: “You might be Chief of the Beggar Clan, so I assume you’ll maintain true to your phrases. Ought to I strike you with three of my date stones, you’ll not dodge or use any weapon to deflect them?”

Earlier than Huang Rong might even reply, Guo Fu butted in, “My mom simply stated she won’t keep away from it, however she by no means stated she would not use a weapon to deflect it.”

Huang Rong smiled and stated, “If Valley-Proprietor Qiu needs to vent her coronary heart’s hatred, then junior will definitely not use any weapons to deflect.”

“Mom! How can this do?” cried Guo Fu. Her lengthy sword had earlier been damaged by the date stone’s strike, and he or she knew its energy was incomparable. Her mom was in spite of everything product of flesh and blood, how might she survive with out avoiding or deflecting?

However Huang Rong thought: “The Guo household owes Guo’er an enormous debt. Now that he has contracted this lethal poison, we should get hold of the antidote it doesn’t matter what. Her date stone talent is among the deadliest projectile arts on the planet, if I let her hit me with three stones it’s certainly harmful. Only a slight second of carelessness will price me my life, however how would she be prepared at hand over the antidote in any other case?”

Huang Rong had chosen her phrases properly, ensuring that Qiu Qianchi’s each want was met. The intention was to reduce her bitterness and fear. In her second of tension they’d assist her fend off her enemy, and to reduce her bitterness she could be free to injure Huang Rong in the one method she might. Even Qiu Qianchi herself wouldn’t be capable of assume a extra advantageous supply than this.

However Qiu Qianchi suspected it was too good to be true. She stated hoarsely: “You might be my mortal enemy, but right here you might be, prepared to take three date stones from me. What scheme are you hiding? What ailing intentions do you may have?”

Huang Rong went ahead and stated in a low voice, “There are a lot of pairs of eyes and ears on this place, most of which harbor ailing intentions in direction of you. I will whisper just a few issues in your ear.”

Qiu Qianchi swept a look in any respect the disciples and thought: “Amongst them are lots of the outdated thief’s followers. Certainly I needs to be cautious.” She nodded.

Huang Rong went close to and whispered, “Your enemy shall be attacking quickly. Is not junior in a precarious scenario as nicely? Allow us to rapidly bury this hatchet and, irrespective of if junior lives or dies everybody can battle side-by-side and resist the enemy. Moreover I’m indebted to Yang Guo; I have to get hold of the Passionless Tablet for him even when it prices me my life. If one doesn’t know the best way to repay kindness, would he be any totally different to any beast on this earth?” Ending her sentence, she took three steps again and concentrated her gaze on Qiu Qianchi.

On the phrases ‘if one doesn’t know the best way to repay kindness, would he be totally different to any beast’, Qiu Qianchi gave a begin, pondering: “If it wasn’t for that fellow Yang Guo who saved me, I would nonetheless be on their own in that underground cave, struggling in silence.” However this thought got here and went as quick as lightning and her coronary heart hardened as soon as extra. She stated icily: “Your fairly phrases do nothing to alter my iron coronary heart. Come, come! Take three of my date stones!”

Huang Rong flung her sleeve and stated, “Then I am going to put my life on the road and take three of your iron date stones.” As she spoke she moved backwards, stopping in the course of the Corridor about thirty toes from Qiu Qianchi. “Please hearth your date stones!”

Although Wu Santong knew that Huang Rong was all the time filled with wit and concepts, everybody was witness to the facility of Qiu Qianchi’s date stone talent. Now, seeing Huang Rong standing there barehanded, all their hearts beat anxiously. Guo Fu was much more nervous and walked over to Huang Rong, tugging at her sleeve. “Mom,” she whispered. “Let’s discover a place, I am going to provide the Hedgehog Armor so you’ll be able to put it on, then we do not have to be afraid of that outdated hag’s lethal projectiles.”

Huang Rong slid. “What is the level if I take advantage of the Hedgehog Armor to dam the date stones? Wait and see your mom’s methodology.”

At this second, Qiu Qianchi stated: “Everybody else transfer…” earlier than the phrase ‘apart’ left her mouth, a date stone had already been fired at Huang Rong’s stomach. Although it was only a tiny date stone, it sliced by the air so violently that the sound of its pace gave the impression of a shrill flute. With a high-pitched cry, Huang Rong bent over, clutching her abdomen.

Guo Fu, Wu Santong and the others had been horrified and earlier than they might go over to assist her up, the ‘flute’ sounded once more – the second date stone had been fired, this time at Huang Rong’s chest. Once more, with a loud cry, Huang Rong swayed and moved unsteadily backwards, wanting like she was about to fall.

Qiu Qianchi noticed that Huang Rong was certainly true to her phrase, making no try to dodge. The 2 date stones had already struck the important factors of her physique. With that very same sort of compelling pressure, the iron date stones might break even a rock, what extra of human flesh? However Huang Rong had sustained two date stones with out falling, clearly hanging on regardless of the ache to obtain the third date stone. Secretly astounded, Qiu Qianchi thought to her self: “At first I assumed this girl regarded too delicate to own any actual substance as Chief of the Beggar Clan. However now it looks as if she is certainly a formidable pugilist!”

On the considered Huang Rong’s imminent loss of life after receiving two date stones, she could not assist however really feel happy. With a “po” sound, the third date stone left her mouth. This time, it went for Huang Rong’s throat. With the stone penetrating the throat, her brother’s killer would undoubtedly die on the spot.

When Huang Rong stated that she would take three hits of her date stones, she had but to consider any good concepts, understanding that she might solely accomplish that in trade for the Tablet. She would then die and repay her debt to Yang Guo. However after having a quiet chat with Qiu Qianchi, she had a notion which invoked many ideas in her mind, a plan struck her thoughts. Huang Rong had secretly picked up Guo Fu’s sword. It had been damaged earlier by the fired date stones. She had it hidden in her sleeve. When the dates had been fired later, she might bend her elbow and use the damaged sword’s deal with to deflect the stone. However the influence of the date stones and the sword would trigger a metallic sound, so she had shouted two instances to cowl the sounds. This intelligent transfer had certainly completely prevented Qiu Qianchi from suspecting something.
