“You might be proper,” Wu Santong stated, “Let’s discover Gongsun Zhi.” So, using their lightness kungfu they modified course to northwest.
Certain sufficient, not too lengthy after they heard battle sounds. They quickened their tempo, however the noise they heard was type of peculiar; typically appeared prefer it was simply across the nook, different instances it got here from afar. They stored moving into circles till the daybreak broke, however by no means discovered the supply of the noise. At dawn they arrived on a path sloping upward. All of a sudden they heard a loud and hair-raising snicker. They stopped and lifted their gaze upward. There, throughout a ravine, perched on a hill, stood a person laughing maniacally. It was Gongsun Zhi. There was a deep ravine beneath him, and a really excessive mountain peak above.
Seeing Gongsun Zhi’s insanity – actual or fake, Zhu Ziliu was apprehensive, “If he slips, his physique shall be completely smashed within the abyss beneath. His demise is well-deserved, however he would take the Passionless Tablet down with him.” He rapidly ran forward and after making a flip he discovered Yang Guo, Xiao Longnü, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang standing on the verge of the ravine trying up at Gongsun Zhi.
Xiao Longnü approached Zhu Ziliu and softly requested, “Uncle Zhu, are you able to consider one thing to power him down?” Zhu Ziliu seemed round and came upon that between the mountain peak and the place the place they stood there was a pure lengthy rock bridge that seemed like a tree log, solely lower than one foot extensive. The rock bridge, in addition to the stones across the bridge, have been coated with moss, which make them slippery. There was no manner they might power him down. He needed to be tricked into coming down on his personal. However Gongsun Zhi was so shrewd. What sort of trick may they use?
Wu Santong remembered his indebtedness for Yang Guo’s nice kindness. The truth that his two sons have been alive and stay in concord with one another was due to Yang Guo’s sacrifice. He determined proper then and there to repay this debt and, rolling his sleeves up, instantly stated, “Let me drag him down right here.” However earlier than he may transfer a shadow flashed forward of him. It was Cheng Ying. “Let me do it!” And he or she already stepped onto the rock. She was fast, Yang Guo was even faster. She felt someone tug her sleeve and he or she was pulled again. “Little Sister, how a lot am I value that you just make a sacrifice like that?” she heard Yang Guo whisper into her ear. She blushed and was speechless.
All of a sudden Xiao Longnü’s voice was heard, “Let me borrow your swords.” With a fluid movement she pulled Dunru’s and Wanyan Ping’s swords. Such an exquisite transfer! Earlier than they even realized what had occurred, the younger girl was already perched on the rock.
Gongsun Zhi was shocked to see her bravery; he rapidly jumped again to the opposite finish of the bridge. Wielding his sword in entrance of him he snickered, “Do you actually wish to die?”
Holding her two swords, Xiao Longnü quietly prayed, “Please God, bless me. Let me die after I get the capsule again.” She checked out Gongsun Zhi and softly spoke, “Mr. Gongsun, you may have saved my life, but due to me, you may have suffered loads of distress. I … my coronary heart ached for you. I don’t wish to battle you.”
“So, what would you like?” he requested.
“I wish to beg you to offer me the Passionless Tablet to avoid wasting my husband’s life,” she answered, “I do know you don’t have any use for the capsule, however I’ll perpetually be indebted to you in the event you simply give it to me.”
Whereas they have been nonetheless talking, Yang Guo shouted, “Lengthy’er! Get again right here! What’s that half-pill for? It will not save each our lives.”
her standing atop the rock, her gown fluttered within the wind, and her stunningly lovely countenance, Gongsun Zhi was mesmerized; how may Li Mochou be in comparison with her? All of a sudden an evil thought got here to his thoughts. “That child is your husband?” he requested.
“Sure, we’re married.”
“Properly, in the event you grant me a request, I’ll instantly give this capsule to you,” Gongsun Zhi continued.
By the look of his eyes, Xiao Longnü knew what he was about to say. She shook her head and stated, “I’m already married, I am unable to marry you. Mr. Gongsun, I do know you really liked me very a lot. Nevertheless, I’ve already given my coronary heart to another person. With a deep remorse I can’t settle for your love.”
Gongsun Zhi’s countenance modified. “Go away!” he barked, “If not, I will not maintain myself again any longer.”
“If we battle, would not that be very unhappy?” Xiao Longnü stated sadly. She was not pretending, she actually was remembering Gongsun Zhi’s kindness.
Gongsun Zhi made an “hmph” sound and put a extremely evil smile on his lips. “I wish to see that Yang Guo child screaming and rolling round on the bottom dying miserably,” he stated, “I wish to see a trustworthy spouse sporting mourning garments.”
“Lengthy’er! Come again!” Yang Guo stored shouting, “Come again! Do not waste your breath speaking to that lowly creature.” He would have come and dragged his spouse away if he may discover a place to place his toes down.
The younger madam smiled sadly. “Hear!” she stated, “He is calling me. He known as as a result of he loves me. He’d moderately die of the poison than see me damage by you.”
Gongsun Zhi’s thoughts was reeling. He needed very a lot to make Xiao Longnü his hostage. Nevertheless, they’d each fall into the ravine beneath if the younger spouse put up any battle in any respect. Alternatively, if he didn’t seize her, how may he save his personal life? He checked out his enemies, and amongst them, Yang Guo was the one one he was afraid of. However he was relieved to see the younger man didn’t wield his heavy sword. In his thoughts, unarmed, Yang Guo wouldn’t have the ability to block him. His greatest wager proper now can be to assault Xiao Longnü, attempt to seize her, or at the least push her again far sufficient for him to flee. Having thought this over, he barked, “Will you or will not you progress again?” and thrust his sword concurrently. Xiao Longnü’s left sword parried this assault whereas her proper sword counterattacked. A collection of metallic sounds echoed all through the valley.
After studying the ‘Mutual Arms Fight’ approach from Zhou Botong, Xiao Longnü’s swords abilities have been greater than doubled. Though she was poisoned and her degree of vitality was weakened considerably, Gongsun Zhi’s black-sword and golden-saber approach nonetheless was no match for her ‘Jade Maiden Swords Method’. His approach, although carrying seemingly infinite variations, nonetheless resulted in a saber remaining a saber, and a sword at all times a sword. She moved her pair of swords so quick, that her physique was surrounded by the flashing of the swords. Gongsun Zhi felt like he was caught in a rainstorm. Swords in every single place … He sighed and regretted his resolution, “I would not have attacked her within the first place if I had identified her true talent.” Fortunately for him, the “Jade Maiden Swords” was not created with murderous intent, plus Xiao Longnü didn’t have any intentions to kill him; subsequently, he was capable of maintain his floor in the interim.
Within the meantime, Reverend Yideng, Huang Rong, Guo Fu, Yelu Qi and Yelu Yan had additionally arrived. Collectively they witnessed this spectacular battle with their hearts pounding.
“Eh, you go assist her,” Guo Fu advised Yelu Qi, “Elder Sister Lengthy cannot win by herself.”
Yelu Qi solely shook his head, “There isn’t any place I can set my foot on.”
Regardless of her weaknesses and spoiled nature, Guo Fu’s pure character was not evil. She turned confused when she noticed Xiao Longnü’s dire scenario and remembered her personal expertise battling the previous man’s excessive martial arts abilities. Yelu Qi was not improper. However Guo Fu insisted, this time to her mom, “Mom! Please assist Sister Lengthy.” She didn’t understand that even with out her prompting everyone was keen to assist. Everybody was simply as anxious as she was, and naturally they’d’ve helped if it have been in any respect potential.
