turing a person with a single move, it still require uncommon level of skill. His left hand grab onto AhZi’s back, his right hand sealed her acupoints, the “Flexible Silk Thread” withdrawn back into his sleeve. While tossing poisonous corpse, flinging of thread, waving, capturing, he kept on laughing non-stop, even when he manage to grab hold on AhZi he is still laughing endlessly. This kind of laughter is also part of his “Misdirection technique” to divert attention.

When You TanZhi was in mid-air he already saw AhZi being captured, in his panic-stricken state he quickly threw himself forward, six poisonous corpse flew past his feet. When his left foot touch the ground he strike his right palm violently at Ding ChunQiu.

Ding ChunQiu left hand push forward, he use AhZi as a shield to receive this rock-shattering palm strike. Currently, although You TanZhi’s martial art is at a very high level, but he don’t have the slightest bit of experience in adapting to changes when fighting with enemy, he saw his palm strike is about to land on AhZi, he immediately withdraw his palm strength. Even for the average martial artists they know they only have to divert their strength to the side and AhZi will be safe, however You TanZhi love AhZi excessively, when he detect something amiss he only know to withdraw his strength, he did not consider other possibilities, to completely withdraw such massive palm strength is to strike himself using his own palm force. He stumbled and spurted a mouthful of blood.

Although You TanZhi mastered [Divine Foot Scripture] but this palm strike is still not easy to endure, he wanted to regain his breath but how can Ding ChunQiu allow him the slightest bit of respite, with ‘Hu Hu Hu Hu’ sound Ding ChunQiu send out four palm in quick succession. You TanZhi cannot gather his inner energy to his dantian, he have no alternative but to receive this four palm strike, for every palm strike he receive he will spurt a mouthful of blood, he receive four palm strike and spurted four mouthful of black blood. Ding ChunQiu did not yield the slightest, he send out his 5th palm strike, intending to seize the opportunity and kill him.

However several people by the side shouted: “Old Freak Ding don’t you dare commit such crime!”

“Stay your hand immediately!”

“Prepare yourself to receive my move!”

XuanCi, GuanXin and DaoQing, various eminent monks as well as other chivalrous heroes, all of them cannot bear to let the Chief of Beggar Clan die by Ding ChunQiu’s hands, they shouted out and rush forward to rescue.

Unexpectedly when Ding ChunQiu send out his 5th palm strike, You TanZhi also return with a palm strike, Ding ChunQiu’s body flickered, unexpectedly he move back 1 step. When the crowd saw this they knew Ding ChunQiu suffered a slight loss, at once they stop moving and did not rush forward to assist. As it turns out when You TanZhi spurted four mouthful of blood his breathing became smooth again, when the 5th palm strike arrive he return the strike with the combine power of frost-silkworm poison and inner power of [Divine Foot Scripture]. Ding ChunQiu met his strike head-on, he was not his match. If not for the fact that Ding ChunQiu gain the upper hand by injuring You TanZhi, You TanZhi’s inner power suffered major damage, during the clash just now Ding ChunQiu will surely have to retreat at least 5 steps.

Ding ChunQiu’s breathing is rolling all over, he is unconvinced, he channelled his entire lifetime of internal energy, with a ‘Hu’ sound he send out his palm again. You TanZhi move 1 step forward and met the palm head-on, he shouted: “Quickly release Miss Duan!” ‘Hu Hu Hu Hu’, he launch 4 palm strike in succession, for every palm strike he will move 1 step forward. With this 5 step, he is face-to-face with Ding ChunQiu, he only need to extend his hand to grab AhZi away.

Ding ChunQiu’s palm strength is no match against You TanZhi’s, he saw his wooden zombie expression, he is really fearful, he smile and said: “I will use my [Rotten Corpse Poison] now, you better be careful!” when he finish speaking he lifted AhZi with his left hand and sway her around.

You TanZhi knew if Ding ChunQiu execute his [Rotten Corpse Poison], AhZi will immediately turn into a poisonous corpse, he cried out: “No, no! Definitely…..definitely not!” his voice quivering, he is extremely shock.

Ding ChunQiu listen to his quivering voice, at once he understood: “So you are smitten by this stinky flowery girl, haha, wonderful, really cannot be much better.” when he captured AhZi he intend to execute her in front of everyone to avoid letting her vie for the position of Sect Leader of XingXiu, but now assessing the situation he can make use of her as a hostage to control this Chief of Beggar Clan Zhuang JuXian who’s martial art is much stronger than his, he said: “You don’t want her to die?”

You TanZhi shouted: “You…you put her down quickly, this….this is extremely dangerous…” Ding ChunQiu laugh out loud, he smile and said: “I can kill her effortlessly, why should i release her? She is a traitor of our Sect, no respect for seniors, if i don’t kill her then who do i kill?” You TanZhi said: “This….she is Miss AhZi, no matter what you cannot harm her, you already blinded both her eyes, i beg you, quickly put her down, i….i will thank you heavily.” his speech is incoherent, obviously he is extremely concerned about AhZi, he did not have the slightest bit of poise as Chief of Beggar Clan.

Ding ChunQiu saw You TanZhi’s internal energy is vigorous and yin-frost in nature, from his voice he is very similar to his iron-head disciple, but he is not wearing any iron-mask, moreover how can an iron-head person become the Chief of Beggar Clan? He did not give the matter much thought anymore and said: “It is not difficult for me to spare her life, you merely have to follow my instruction on some matters.”

You TanZhi said quickly: “Follow, follow! Even if it is a hundred, a thousand, i will also follow!” Ding ChunQiu is delighted, he nod his head and said: “Very good! The first matter, you must take me as your master immediately, from now on become a disciple of XingXiu.”

You TanZhi did not hesitate at all, he knelt down immediately and said: “Master, disciple…disciple Zhuang JuXian kowtow!” he pondered: “Originally i am your disciple already, i kowtow once, there is no harm in kowtowing again.”

Once he knelt down the crowd of heroes made a huge commotion. From Beggar Clan Elders to disciples, their anger indescribable, they pondered: “Our Beggar Clan is the number one clan under the heaven, we have always uphold justice and chivalry, but now our Chief take this Old Freak of XingXiu as master. We definitely cannot accept him as our Chief anymore.”

Gongs and drums echoed loudly, everyone in XingXiu Sect cheered and celebrate, they praised Divine Elder of XingXiu, their voice resounding, all sorts of sappy and unimaginable praises flow forth, in short the Divine Elder of XingXiu is brighter than the sun and moon, he is greater than heaven and earth, from the time Pangu split heaven and earth apart no other person is more powerful than Divine Elder of XingXiu. Duke of Zhou, Confucius, Buddha, Laozi, as well as the Jade Emperor, the King of Hell, none of them is able to match Divine Elder of XingXiu.

When AhZi was captured by Ding ChunQiu, both Duan ZhengChun and Ruan XingZhu turn pale, they knew they are no match for Old Freak of XingXiu, thus they cannot rescue her and escape, unexpectedly Zhuang JuXian is willing to kneel down and took Ding ChunQiu as his master for the sake of their daughter. Ruan XingZhu was shock yet delighted, she whispered: “Look at his profound affection! You…you…you don’t even have a tiny fraction of his devotion.”

Duan Yu glance at Wang YuYan, he pondered: “I am deeply devoted to Miss Wang, i have done everything possible, nothing can exceed that. But compared to this Chief Zhuang, i really fall short. He is truly passionate and devoted! If Miss Wang was captured by Old Freak of XingXiu, am i willing to kneel down in front of him in front of everybody?” when he thought of it, his blood circulate rapidly, for the sake of Miss Wang he is willing to die, being humiliated is nothing, he cannot help but blurt out: “Willing, of course i am willing!” Wang YuYan inquired: “You are willing what?” Duan Yu stammered: “En, this….i am willing to kneel down and take him as master….” Wang YuYan understood his meaning, her face turn a shade of red.

You TanZhi kowtow and stood up, Ding ChunQiu is still grabbing onto AhZi, AhZi’s facial expression is twisted, clearly she is in much pain, he said quickly: “Master, please release her!” Ding ChunQiu laugh coldly and said: “This brat is brazen, you think i will forgive her easily? Unless you atone for her crimes, settle some matters for me.” You TanZhi said: “Yes! Master, what task you have for me?” Ding ChunQiu said: “Go challenge Shaolin’s abbot XuanCi and kill him.”

You TanZhi hesitate and said: “Disciple have no feud with Shaolin’s abbot, although Beggar Clan is vying with Shaolin for supremacy, but there is no need to kill.” Ding ChunQiu’s expression turned grave, he said angrily: “You disobey my orders, obviously becoming my disciple is just an act!” You TanZhi only want AhZi to be safe and sound, why would he care about justice or righteousness, he did not care about right or wrong, he said quickly: “Yes! But Shaolin’s martial art is extremely high, disciple will do his utmost….Master, you….you promised, you must not harm Miss AhZi.” Ding ChunQiu said dully: “The decision to kill XuanCi or not, it is entirely up to you; But the decision to kill AhZi or not, it is entirely up to me.”

You TanZhi turn around and said loudly: “Shaolin’s abbot XuanCi, Shaolin is the chief of martial studies, Beggar Clan is the number one clan under the heaven, we have presided over Central Plains as equals. But today we have to determine who is stronger, the victor will become ‘Supreme Leader of Martial Arts Fraternity’, the loser will have to follow the supreme leader’s order.” he sweep his eyes across the crowd of heroes and said: “Heroes, today we gather at Mount Shaoshi, who is not convinced, you may step forward to challenge the supreme leader.” unexpectedly he dare to claim he is supreme leader.

Ding ChunQiu listen to You TanZhi’s voice, his voice is not loud, but those with profound internal energy heard every single word clearly. Senior monks from Shaolin heard Ding ChunQiu command Zhuang JuXian to kill abbot XuanCi, they are really angry, but they witness the duel just now, Zhuang JuXian’s martial art is strong yet demonic, it is hard to determine if XuanCi can resist, moreover it is not easy to ward off various kinds of poison and evil sorcery.

XuanCi is unwilling to fight with Zhuang JuXian, but since he openly issued the challenge in public he cannot withdraw, at once he put his palms together and said: “For several hundred years, Beggar Clan uphold chivalry and justice, all heroes under the heaven admire you greatly. You former Clan Chief Wang JianTong’s relationship with my humble school is truly not shallow. Disciples of my school have always revered Beggar Clan, the friendship between Shaolin and Beggar Clan have lasted over several hundred years. I don’t understand why Chief Zhuang suddenly issued this challenge, i hope to seek clarification. Heroes, today’s situation, who is right or wrong, you will be the witness.”

You TanZhi is young, his knowledge shallow, how can he debate with XuanCi? Nevertheless before coming to Shaolin, Quan GuanQing taught him some expressions, he narrated at once: “Liao nation is south of Great Song, Tubo and Western Xia at the west, Dali at the north, four barbarians eyeing Great Song covetously, this….this….” he mixed up the position of Liao and Dali, some people in the crowd disapproved of what he said, they cough and sneered at his speech.

You TanZhi knew something is amiss but it is too late to salvage now, his expression became awkward, luckily he is wearing a human-skin mask, other people cannot read his expression, he continued: “Great Song has little troop and generals, our nation weak and frail, entirely dependent on us martial art patriots, we have to unite together to resist foreign enemies and remove any traitor from within.”

The crowd of heroes felt his speech is rather logical, they said: “Correct, correct!”

You TanZhi’s spirit rose, he continued: “For the past few years foreign aggression is rampant, everyone ought to work as one, brave the danger together. But various sect and school, clan and association, we fight with each other, unable to reach a consensus. Khitan Qiao Feng can simply come here and single-handedly defeat the heroes of Central Plains, in addition it is rumoured that Western XingXiu Sea, XingXiu Old…. XingXiu Old…. XingXiu Old…that XingXiu Old…en, he killed two senior monks from Shaolin….that….” Quan GuanQing taught him to say “Western XingXiu Sea Old Freak of XingXiu killed two senior monks from Shaolin, Shaolin is helpless in face of crisis”, You TanZhi memorize this speech thoroughly, unexpectedly the circumstances changed, thus he only said up till “XingXiu Old” and was unable to continue anymore.

Someone from the crowd shouted: “He is Old Freak of XingXiu, you are are Little Demon of XingXiu!” everyone roared with laughter.

Disciples of XingXiu sang in unison: “Divine Elder of XingXiu, virtue fitting heaven and earth, power shaking the entire universe, matchless then and now!” a thousand people singing in unison, their voice immediately drown out the laughter.

The singing had barely tone down when an unpleasant husky voice sang loudly: “Divine Elder of XingXiu, virtue fitting heaven and earth, power shaking the entire universe….” the tune is identical to those sung by XingXiu disciples. Unexpectedly there is someone else who would praise XingXiu Elder other than his own disciples, the praise is far better than XingXiu tooting their own horn. In their excitement the crowd beat the gongs and drums, unexpectedly the next sentence took a dramatic twist, they heard him sing: “…big dog fart!” the XingXiu disciples are startled but the instruments did not stop playing, the music accompanied till end, the phrase “big dog fart” became melodious and pleasing to the ear.

The crowd nearly fell down in laughter, XingXiu disciples roundly abuse him. Wang YuYan smile and said: “3rd brother Bao, your voice is really sharp!” Bao BuTong said: “Pardon my performance, pardon my performance!” the singing voice is indeed Bao BuTong’s performance.

While everyone was distracted by the disturbance You TanZhi seize the opportunity to discuss with Quan GuanQing, he said in a bright voice: “Great Song will face hardship, we martial artists are unable to work together, thus foreigner push us around. Hence Beggar Clan took the initiative to establish this ‘Supreme Leader of Martial Arts Fraternity’ position, everyone will follow orders, if any major trouble breaks out we won’t be confused or disordered. Abbot XuanCi, do you agree?”

XuanCi said unhurriedly: “Chief Zhuang’s speech is logical. However old monk is still puzzled by something, i ask for guidance.” You TanZhi said: “What thing?” XuanCi said: “Chief Zhuang already accept Mr Ding as master, you can be considered a disciple of XingXiu, correct?” You TanZhi said: “This….this is my personal matter, it is not related to you.” XuanCi said: “XingXiu Sect is from western region, not part of Great Song’s martial art fraternity. Whether or not Great Song establish this supreme leader position it does not involve XingXiu Sect. Even if we want to elect a supreme leader, it is still an internal affair, you are a disciple of XingXiu Sect, you cannot participate.”

The crowd of heroes said in succession: “Correct!”

“Shaolin abbot is correct!”

“You are a lackey of a foreign sect, how can you dream about becoming supreme leader of Central Plain’s martial art fraternity?”

You TanZhi is speechless, he look at Ding ChunQiu and at Quan GuanQing, hoping for them to help solve this predicament.

Ding ChunQiu cough lightly and said: “Shaolin abbot is mistaken! Old man is a native of Shandong’s Qufu city, the hometown of Confucius, XingXiu Sect is founded by me, how can you claim it is a foreign sect? Although XingXiu Sect is based at western region, but that is merely a temporary location. If you claim XingXiu Sect is a foreign sect, then Confucius is also a foreigner, ridiculous! With regards to foreigner, Shaolin’s martial art originated from India’s Master Damo, even Buddhism is also foreign, in my opinion Shaolin is the foreign sect!” his speech ended, XuanCi and the crowd of heroes found it difficult to refute his accusation.

Quan GuanQing said in a clear and bright voice: “The true origin of martial art is difficult to ascertain. Maybe martial art spread from west to Central Plains, or from Central Plains to the west. Our Beggar Clan Chief is a native of Central Plains, Beggar Clan originated from Central Plain, naturally he is a leader of Central Plain’s martial art fraternity. Abbot XuanCi, for today’s matter you should use martial art to differentiate the strong from the weak, you cannot determine the outcome by debating. Shaolin and Beggar Clan, who is stronger, who is weaker, the result can be determined immediately in a martial art contest between the chief, what is the purpose in debating? If you still have some self-knowledge and know that you are not Chief Zhuang’s match, then step down gracefully and admit defeat, give your endorsement to Chief Zhuang.” his speech clearly implied that XuanCi is inferior, timid and shirk responsibility.

XuanCi move forward a few steps and said: “Chief Zhuang, you force old monk to fight, if old monk continue to take into account the several hundred years of friendship between Shaolin and Beggar Clan and refuse to fight, then it is seen as disrespectful to your clan.” he sweep his eyes slowly across the crowd of heroes and said in a bright voice: “Heroes, today you bear witness, my Shaolin did not have any intention to fight with Beggar Clan for supremacy, Beggar Clan Chief pressured us with every step, old monk cannot decline.” the crowd of heroes said: “Correct, Shaolin did no wrong.”

You TanZhi is only concerned about AhZi’s safety, he want to kill XuanCi quickly and complete this assignment from Ding ChunQiu, he said loudly: “Just fight, the strong will survive, the weak will die, what correct or wrong, quickly come here and fight!”

When he was young he frolic around and did not study much, although his innate character is not pure but ultimately he is a simple, unsophisticated youngster. When his father died, he roam around aimlessly, he was bullied and humiliated, there was no upright honest man to guide and instruct him properly, he associate with AhZi and learnt the behaviour of XingXiu Sect. The martial arts of XingXiu Sect seek victory through vicious and sinister method, with Quan GuanQing’s careful planning he help him to secure the position of Beggar Clan Chief, he also taught him to be merciless, leaving no margin for error, all these experience accumulated over time, unexpectedly it turn a disciple of a famous chivalrous warrior into someone who cannot differentiate between good and evil, a violent man who only relied on brute force.

XuanCi said in a bright voice: “Chief Zhuang, your speech does not match up to the chivalrous reputation enjoyed by Beggar Clan for several hundred years.”

You TanZhi’s body flickered, he move closer by several zhang, he said: “Just fight if you want to fight, if you don’t want to fight then just retreat.” he look at Ding ChunQiu and AhZI, he is really anxious.

XuanCi said: “Fine, today old monk will experience Chief Zhuang’s consummate skill the [28 Dragon Subduing Palm] and [Dog Beating Staff Technique], it is also a good opportunity for the heroes here to witness the martial arts handed down by former Beggar Clan Chiefs for several hundred years.”

You TanZhi was startled, he cannot help but move back 2 steps. Although he became Chief of Beggar Clan, but he did not learn the two consummate skills [28 Dragon Subduing Palm] and [Dog Beating Staff Technique]. But he heard sarcastic remarks from Beggar Clan’s Elders before, these two consummate skills are the “Divine Guardian Skill of Beggar Clan”. [28 Dragon Subduing Palm] need not be pass solely to the Chief of Beggar Clan, however the [Dog Beating Staff Technique] must only be pass onto the Chief of Beggar Clan, for several hundred years there isn’t a Chief who did not learn these two “Divine Guardian Skill of Beggar Clan”.

XuanCi said: “Old monk will use Shaolin’s [Vajra Fist] against Chief Zhuang’s [28 Dragon Subduing Palm], [Demon Subduing Staff] against Chief Zhuang’s [Dog Beating Staff Technique]. Alas, Shaolin and Beggar Clan enjoyed good relationship for generations, these martial arts have always been used for learning and improvement purposes, never to be use to fight against each other, old monk is useless, i really let down previous generations of Beggar Clan Chief and Shaolin abbot.” he press both palms together, it is precisely the starting gesture of [Vajra Fist], “Paying Respect to Rulai”, his expression kind and amiable, however his cassock belt shoot left and right, it can be seen that this move is empowered by extremely profound level of internal energy.

You TanZhi did not say anything, his left hand split the air, his right palm followed immediately and chop swiftly, the force in his left palm start first but arrive later, the force in his right palm start later but arrive first, both stream of energy intertwine and move forward, it is extremely weird, their palm force collide midway, with a ‘Bo’ sound they neutralize each other, however everyone heard two ‘Chi Chi’ sound, both ends of XuanCi’s cassock belt was cut off simultaneously and flew several zhang backwards. The twin palm force from You TanZhi had extremely wide range, the force attacking XuanCi’s body was neutralize by the defensive move “Paying Respect to Rulai”, however the belt floating by the side was cut off by You TanZhi’s palm force.

When Shaolin monks and the crowd of heroes saw it they shouted out: “That is demonic martial arts of XingXiu Sect!”

“It is not [28 Dragon Subduing Palm]!”

“It is not Beggar Clan’s martial arts!”

Unexpectedly some Beggar Clan disciples also shout out: “We are competing with Shaolin, you cannot use martial arts of demonic sect!”

“Chief you have to use [28 Dragon Subduing Palm]!”

“You use demonic martial arts, really disgrace our Beggar Clan.”

You TanZhi heard everyone made a huge commotion, he hesitate and did not execute his second move.

However XingXiu disciples shouted out: “XingXiu’s divine skill is much stronger than Beggar Clan’s [28 Dragon Subduing Palm], naturally he will use the stronger skill, don’t tell me he will use the weaker skill?”

“Senior martial brother Zhuang, go on and fight! Naturally you have to use the divine skills imparted by our revered master, slaughter this old monk!”

“The divine skills of XingXiu is number one under the heaven, achieve victory in every battle, there are no exception, [Stinky Dragon Subduing Palm], dog fart and not worth the time!”

Amidst the huge racket, a majestic voice suddenly boomed from the base of the mountain: “Who say XingXiu’s martial art can surpass Beggar Clan’s [28 Dragon Subduing Palm]?”

The voice is not particularly loud, but every single word is delivered clearly into everyone’s ear, everyone was momentarily startled, they became silent.

Everyone heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves, 10 riders rode swiftly up the mountain. The riders all wore black felt cloak and black clothes, they resemble tigers, horse like dragons, the riders are nimble and athletic, their horses spirited, every horse is tall with long legs, bodies covered with black fur, they rush near and the crowd saw shining light, gold ray glittering, unexpectedly the horse shoes are made of gold. There are a total of 19 riders, although their numbers are not great but their manner strong and imposing, it is as if they are an army of thousand men, the first 18 riders rush ahead and split evenly to both sides, the last rider rush through between them.

Among the Beggar Clan members, a large number of them suddenly shout out: “Chief Qiao, Chief Qiao!” several hundred Beggar Clan disciples rush out from the crowd, they bow in front of the men and horses.

The person is indeed Xiao Feng. After being expelled from Beggar Clan he assume everyone in Beggar Clan treat him as an enemy, he never expect them to change their view, unexpectedly a lot of his former brothers came forth fervently to greet him, his emotion surge forth, tears in his eyes, he dismounted and cup his fists to return the greeting and said: “Khitan Xiao Feng was expelled by Beggar Clan, i have no gratitude or animosity with Beggar Clan anymore, why do you still address me like former times? Brothers, are you well?” the last phrase revealed his sincere feelings and old affection towards them, unexpectedly he was unable to restrain himself.

Those who came over to greet him are mostly 3-pouch and 4-pouch disciples. 1-pouch and 2-pouch disciples are low ranking or newly recruited, they rarely get the chance to meet Xiao Feng, 5-pouch disciples and above are often based at the borders to defend against foreigners, they are of a senior generation, they handle affairs with apprehension unlike younger generation who are more straightforward and less reserved. When the several hundred disciples heard his speech they realize their conduct was too rash, this “Chief Qiao” is a Khitan, an archenemy, everyone in Beggar Clan knew this fact for a long time already, but how come they rush forth involuntarily and completely forgot about this matter? Some people lowered their head and return back, however quite a number of people said: “Qiao….Qiao….senior you are well, after parting with you, every day we miss….miss you very much.”

That day, AhZi did not return from her outing, there was no information for several days, Xiao Feng became extremely worried, he dispatch large number of scouts to look for her. Several months later he finally receive news, AhZi is with Beggar Clan, the iron-head man is also with her.

When Xiao Feng heard it he was extremely apprehensive, he assume Beggar Clan hate him to the bone, they captured AhZi to use her as hostage to threaten him, he have to rescue her immediately. He inform the Emperor and request leave for two months, he hand over the army and governance of Southern Chancellery to Chancellor YeLu MoGe and travelled south.

When Xiao Feng return to Central Plains, he came well prepared, the “Eighteen Riders From YanYun” which he selected are all top experts of Khitan race. Last time he fought alone against a crowd of heroes at JuXian Manor, if not for the sudden appearance of a benefactor he would have died under their blades, evidently regardless of how powerful his martial art it is not possible for him to fight against a hundred experts, thus he came along with the “Eighteen Riders From YanYun”, every single one of them is able to go up against 10 men, moreover they are riding prized horses which can travel a thousand miles, it is not difficult for them to escape during critical situation.

The group arrive at Henan province, Xiao Feng captured a low ranking Beggar Clan disciple and interrogate him, he found out that AhZi lost her sight, she is inseparable from the new Beggar Clan Chief, currently she accompanied the new Chief and went to Shaolin Temple. Xiao Feng became more fearful and angry, someone must have blinded her eyes, he can well imagine the various torture she experience in Beggar Clan, he rush to Shaolin Temple immediately.

He arrived at Mount Shaoshi, from a distant he heard XingXiu disciples bragging, they claim XingXiu’s martial art is better than [28 Dragon Subduing Palm], his anger burst forth. Although he is not longer Chief of Beggar Clan but [28 Dragon Subduing Palm] was personally imparted to him by his respected teacher Wang JianTong, how can outsiders be allowed to vilify it wantonly? He rode up the mountain and met with 3-pouch and 4-pouch disciples, he glance around and saw Ding ChunQiu grabbing onto a purple-clothed maiden, her figure graceful with snow white oval face, it is AhZi. However her eyes are dim and lifeless, pupil of the eye damaged, clearly she is blind.

Xiao Feng heart ached, his anger burst forth and he took large stride forward, with a ‘Hu’ sound he strike his right palm towards Ding ChunQiu, it is a move from [28 Dragon Subduing Palm], “Meeting Dragon at the Field”, when he threw out his palm he was separated 15-16 zhang from Ding ChunQiu, however he arrive quickly, while his energy gathered at his palm he is already 7-8 zhang from Ding ChunQiu.

In martial studies, no matter how powerful your palm strength, you can never strike beyond 5 zhang away. Ding ChunQiu knew the famous reputation of “Northern Qiao Feng, Southern Murong”, he did not dare to underestimate him, Ding ChunQiu saw him launching his palm strike 15-16 zhang away, he did not expect this palm to be directed at him. Xiao Feng’s palm strength had barely emerge but he is already 3-4 zhang from Ding ChunQiu, he execute another “Meeting Dragon at the Field”, the rear palm supporting the front palm, the strength of twin palm combine together, its gigantic power came crashing forth.

In an instant Ding ChunQiu’s breath was obstructed and became sluggish, unexpectedly the opposing palm strength rush forth like a raging tide, impossible to resist, it is like a formless high wall moving straight towards him. He was greatly alarmed, how can he think of any countermeasures, if he counter with a single palm his arm and wrist will surely break, maybe all his muscles and bones will shatter as well, he quickly push
