IRON BLOODED HEART (Book 1 of Legend Of The Condor Heroes)

Changchun Admits Defeat Part 2

Mei Chao Feng heard that it was Huang Rong's voice and this gave her a huge shock. She thought: "My whip is littered with reversed hooks. Now that I've injured her, Shifu has more reason not to spare me. But I have already gone this far, and either way I have already betrayed my school. I'll kill her first." Rousing her Silver Whip, she pulled Huang Rong closer towards her and rested her on the ground, thinking that all the hooks must have tore deep into her flesh by now. She never expected the hooks to tear only Huang Rong's clothes, leaving her body completely unharmed.

Huang Rong said laughingly: "You tore my clothes, I want compensation!"

Mei Chao Feng was surprised to hear no hint of pain in her voice, then thought: "Ah, Shifu has naturally given his Soft Hedgehog Armor to her." Feeling lenient, she said aloud: "That was my fault. I will return you a nice new set of clothing."

Huang Rong signaled for Guo Jing to come over, and he did so. The two of them now stood 10 feet or so within Mei Chao Feng, somewhere Liang Zi Weng did not dare to venture.

Over at the other end, the 6 Freaks of Jiang Nan had formed a tight circle with their backs towards each other's and were trying their best to resist Sha Tong Tian, Peng Lian Hu, Ouyang Ke and Hou Tong Hai. This was a formation they had mastered in the deserts of Mongolia. When faced with tough opponents, this formation made it unnecessary for them to defend their backs and instantly increased their power by half. But Sha, Peng and Ouyang were simply too strong and the dangers came in all directions; the 6 Freaks were far from their match. Not long after, Han Bao Ju's arm was injured. Han Bao Ju knew that if he left the formation there would be a loophole for their opponents to exploit, their lives and Guo Jing's would be in grave danger. Thus, he could only grit his teeth and hold on with great effort.

Among their opponents, Peng Lian Hu was the most vicious in his attacks and repeatedly targeted Han Bao Ju. Guo Jing saw that the situation was urgent and rushed towards them with flying feet. With the double palm technique "Separating Cloud and Moon", he aimed for Peng Lian Hu's back. Peng Lian Hu let out a chilling laugh and with a wave of his hand, dismissed Guo jing's attack. In just three moves, Guo Jing found himself in a state of emergency.

Huang Rong saw that he was unable to escape and in her anxiety, suddenly remembered the saying: "A simple man is sinless, but a man wearing a piece of jade will be sinned against." Thus, she yelled: "Mei Chao Feng, you stole my father's Jiu Yin Sutra, hand it to me now so I can return it to father!"

At this, Mei Chao Feng went cold and did not respond. Sha Tong Tian, Peng Lian Hu, Ouyang Ke and Liang Zi Weng immediately shifted their attention to Mei Chao Feng and attacked. All four harbored the same thought: "The Jiu Yin Sutra is the world's top martial arts manual. So it really has been with the Twin Killers of the Dark Winds all along..." At present, all four couldn't care less about anything else. Their only focus was to kill Mei Chao Feng and obtain the Jiu Yin Sutra.

Mei Chao Feng began brandishing her Silver Whip and for the moment, none of them dared to venture within its perimeter. Seeing them being lured away by the Jiu Yin Sutra, Huang Rong whispered to Guo Jing urgently: "Let's go!"

At this moment, a figure emerged from the thicket and was hurrying towards them. It shouted: "Gentlemen! Father requires your help with something urgent." The person wore a gold cap crookedly on his head and his voice was filled with worry. He was none other than the little prince, Wan Yan Kang.

Peng Lian Hu and the others all thought: "Prince Zhao has been generous in exchange for our services. Now that there is something urgent, how can we not go to his aid?" At this thought they backed off reluctantly, not bearing to give up the Jiu Yin Sutra. Their gaze still lingered on Mei Chao Feng.
