AhZi forward, both his palms made 3 semicircle to protect his body, at the same time his toes kick off from the ground and he float backward.

Xiao Feng execute yet another “Meeting Dragon at the Field”, the initial palm force have yet to dissipate as the new wave of palm force arrive. Ding ChunQiu don’t dare to go head-on with this force, he slanted his right palm and push out, he made contact with Xiao Feng’s palm force by the side, however he felt his right arm aching, his breathing suddenly became heavy and impure, at once he move 3 zhang backward, fearing Xiao Feng might pursue him he raise his palm to protect his chest and secretly gather poison to his palm. Xiao Feng extend his arm and caught hold of AhZi from mid-air, at the same time he undo her sealed acupoints.

AhZi is blind and unable to speak when being captured by Ding ChunQiu, however she still can hear the events happening around her clearly, when her acupoints was undone she said happily: “Good brother-in-law, luckily you came here to save me.” she embrace him tightly.

Xiao Feng felt extremely sad, he consoled her softly: “AhZi, you have suffered much hardship, it is all my fault for implicating you.” he assume the leaders of Beggar Clan bore great hatred towards him, they cannot do anything to him, since AhZi is his only relative they captured her from Nanjing and tortured her, unexpectedly it did not occur to him that AhZi is reaping what she has sown.

Xiao Feng stir up a huge commotion immediately when he arrive. Previously in the great battle of JuXian Manor, he killed 10 experts in succession alone, his feat became well known all over the world. Martial artists from Central Plains gnash their teeth in anger towards him, however they become fearful when discussing about him, now that he suddenly appear at Mount Shaoshi everyone assume another fierce battle is inevitable. Those who participated in the battle at JuXian Manor tremble in fear when they recall the carnage and devastation in the main hall of the Manor. With just 1 move “Meeting Dragon at the Field” he sent the insufferable Old Freak of XingXiu scampering, everyone became even more frightful when they witness this, they look at each other in dismay, they are speechless in awe of his might.

Only around 10 men from XingXiu dare to boast shamelessly: “The one surnamed Qiao, you are under the influence of Divine Elder of XingXiu’s magical power, after 10 days your body will turn into pus and blood, you will meet a violent death!”

“You are from a younger generation, Divine Elder of XingXiu yielded 3 moves!”

“What is the the status of Divine Elder of XingXiu, how can he fight with you? It is not too late for you to repent, quickly kneel and beg forgiveness from Divine Elder of XingXiu, else you will surely meet a tragic end.” however their voice is withered and crestfallen, completely different from their previous threatening manner.

You TanZhi was frighten upon seeing Xiao Feng, however when he saw him holding AhZi in his bosom, her expression of joy and happiness, embracing Xiao Feng intimately, he cannot restrain himself and leap forward, he said: “Quick….quickly put down Miss AhZi!” Xiao Feng put down AhZi and ask: “Who are you?” You TanZhi look at Xiao Feng’s imposing and powerful gaze, he became timid instantly, he stammered: “I am….i am Chief of Beggar Clan….Zhuang Chief….no no…Chief Zhuang.”

Someone shouted from Beggar Clan: “You already join XingXiu Sect, how can you be the Chief of Beggar Clan?”

Xiao Feng shout angrily: “Why did you make AhZi blind?” You TanZi was intimidated by his might, he move back 2 steps and said: “No….not me, really not me….” AhZi said: “Brother-in-law, i was blinded by that old thief Ding ChunQiu, quickly go dig out that old thief’s eyes to avenge me.”

Xiao Feng knew it is difficult to find out the truth in such short period of time, he sweep his gaze across the crowd, he spotted Duan ZhengChun and Ruan XingZhu, he felt his heart ached, yet he was delighted, he said in a bright voice: “Prince Duan of Dali, your precious daughter is here, please take care of her and teach her properly!” he held onto AhZi’s hand and walk towards Duan ZhengChun, he push AhZi towards him softly.

Ruan XingZhu had long soaked her sleeve with tears, currently her tears are falling like rain, she threw herself forward and embrace AhZi, she said: “Good child, your….your eyes, how are they?”

Duan Yu saw Xiao Feng appeared suddenly, he is extremely happy, he wanted to step forth to greet him, however Xiao Feng was simply too busy fighting with Ding ChunQiu, saving AhZi and meeting with You TanZhi. He saw Ruan XingZhu crying loudly while hugging AhZi, he cannot help but be amazed: “How come Brother Qiao said this blind girl is my father’s precious daughter?” however he knew his father lascivious nature, sowing seeds of love everywhere, in an instant he already guess the underlying reason, he quickly step forward and shouted: “Brother, are you well? Little brother miss you dearly.”

Xiao Feng swore brotherhood with Duan Yu after a wine drinking contest in a restaurant at Wuxi, although their meeting is short but they hit off like old acquaintance, they treat each other with absolute sincerity, at once he grab hold of Duan Yu’s hands and said: “Brother, many things happened, it is difficult to explain in a few words, luckily you are still safe and well.”

Suddenly someone shouted from the crowd: “The one surnamed Qiao, you killed my elders, this blood debt have yet to be avenged, today i will fight till death with you.”

Immediately after another person shout: “Qiao Feng is a Khitan foreigner, everyone knows this fact, we cannot let him leave Mount Shaoshi alive.”

The shouting became louder and louder, some cursed Xiao Feng for killing their sons, some cursed him for killing their parents.

In the battle at Juxian Manor, Xiao Feng indeed killed quite a number of people. Of those gathered at Mount Shaoshi, some had deceased family members and intimate friends who died in the battle at JuXian Manor, although they are afraid of Xiao Feng but when thinking about this blood debt they cannot help but curse out loudly. The crowd saw Xiao Feng is only accompanied by 18 riders, he have enmity with Beggar Clan and Shaolin, moments ago he attacked Ding ChunQiu and force him to retreat, thus XingXiu Sect also became an enemy, if they really start fighting, even if Beggar Clan and Shaolin refuse to help, the rest of the heroes along with XingXiu Sect, thousands of men against Xiao Feng’s 19 Khitan men, no matter his divine abilities he surely cannot escape from the assault. The shouting is gathering momentum, everyone became more courageous.

Xiao Feng brought 18 riders with him, they rode swiftly to Central Plains, he only anticipate a sneak attack when rescuing AhZi, he never expect so many enemy to gather together. He roam about Central Plains since childhood, he is knowledgeable about most of the heroes here, he knew they are mostly descendants of chivalrous family, their hatred towards him, firstly its due to his Khitan origin, secondly someone incited fear and caused this misunderstanding. He did not intend for the outcome of the battle at JuXian Manor, today if another battle take place again the killings will surely add to his guilt, he is fully capable of escaping unharmed however the “Eighteen Riders From YanYun” which he brought along will surely suffer heavy casualties, he pondered: “Fortunately AhZi is already out of danger, she is with her parents, i already fulfilled AhZhu’s wish, i have to think of how to escape as soon as possible, why tangle with these people?” he turn around and said to Duan Yu: “Brother, the situation will turn nasty, it is hard for us to chat now, for the time being please go back, the mountain is high and the river is long, i am sure we will meet again some day.” he want Duan Yu to move aside to avoid any accidental injury when he force his way down to the mountain to escape.

Duan Yu saw there are around a thousand heroes, everyone want to attack his sworn brother, his chivalrous spirit is aroused, he shouted: “Elder brother, when i swore brotherhood with you what did i say? We will enjoy blessings and endure misfortune together, we did not ask to be born on the same year and same date, but we ask to die together on the same day. Today elder brother is in trouble, how can i leave you in a lurch?” in the past whenever he encounter trouble he will always execute the ingenious [Graceful Steps upon the Waves] and escape from danger, now that he is facing a dangerous situation, his blood rushing forth, he is determined to fight together with Xiao Feng till death as sworn brothers, no matter what happen he will not run away this time.

Most of the heroes don’t know Duan Yu, he claim to be Xiao Feng’s sworn brother and determined to fight together with him till death, but his appearance is weak and refined and he is young, thus nobody took him seriously, their shouting became fiercer.

Xiao Feng said: “Brother, elder brother is very grateful to your good intention. However it is not so easy for them to kill me. Retreat quickly, it is not convenient for me to fight them if i have to protect you as well.” Duan Yu said: “No need to protect me. They don’t have any hatred towards me, why would they kill me?” Xiao Feng forced a bitter laugh, his heart became sorrowful: “If nobody harm each other due to lack of hatred, then the various kinds of hate and enmity, where did they come from in the first place?”

Duan ZhengChun whispered to Hua HeGen, Fan Hua and Ba TianShi: “This hero Xiao saved my life before, later on when the situation becomes desperate we will rush in and help him escape.” Fan Hua said: “Yes!” he gaze at the crowd of heroes and said: “Their number is huge, your Highness, do you have any plan?” Duan ZhengChun shake his head and said: “A man differentiate gratitude and resentment clearly, he will do his utmost, even if he has to sacrifice his life.” The men from Dali said in unison: “This should be the way!”

The men of Gusu Murong are also discussing softly. GongYe Gan compete palm and wine with Xiao Feng in Wuxi city, he had extremely high admiration for him, he strongly advocate helping Xiao Feng. Bao BuTong and Feng BoE also admired Xiao Feng very much, they eager to step forth and help him. However Murong Fu said: “Brothers, our number one priority is the restoration of Great Yan, how can we offend all the heroes just for the sake of Xiao Feng?” Deng BaiChuan said: “Young master is correct. What should we do?”

Murong Fu said: “Win the support of majority, make them believe we are helping.” suddenly he whistled and said in a bright voice: “Brother Xiao, you are a hero of Khitan, you have no regards for the heroes of Central Plains, today Murong Fu would like to ask you for advice. If i die by your hands it can be considered doing my part for the heroes of Central Plains, my death will be glorious.” his speech is actually for the heroes of Central Plains, thus no matter victory or defeat, the heroes will treat Gusu Murong family as a worthy friend.

Although the crowd of heroes wanted to go all out against Xiao Feng, but none of them dare to step forward to initiate the challenge. Everyone knew that if they fought till the end they will surely kill him, however the first 10 men will surely die first, suddenly they saw Murong Fu step forward to take the lead, they are extremely gratified and their morale soared. “Northern Qiao Feng, Southern Murong”, both of them are equally famous, Murong Fu initiated the challenge, even if he is no match for Xiao Feng he will greatly reduce his fighting strength and exhaust his internal energy. In an instant the cheering of the crowd resonated from all four corners.

Xiao Feng saw Murong Fu step forward to challenge, he cannot help but be startled, he cupped his fists in salute and said: “I have long heard of your legendary reputation, today i finally get to meet your honorable self, i am greatly comforted.”

Duan Yu said anxiously: “Brother Murong, you are at fault now. My sworn brother is meeting you for the first time, he has no animosity with you, why take advantage of his precarious position? Moreover when everyone wrongly accused you, my brother even step forward to explain the facts.” Murong Fu smile coldly and said: “Brother Duan wants to be a hero who resolve grievances and injustice, please step forward to bestow your teachings.” Murong Fu endured Duan Yu’s constant tangling with Wang YuYan for a very long time, now he finally seize the opportunity to flare up. Duan Yu said: “What abilities i have to bestow teachings on you? I merely said a few words of fairness.”

Suddenly four monks from the “Xuan” generation walk towards Xiao Feng, they put their palms together and said: “Honorable Xiao, our abbot humbly invites you, please be at the main hall for discussion.” an old monk turn around and said to the crowd: “Everyone please excuse us, our abbot XuanCi invites Honorable Xiao Feng, he has some important matters to discuss with him, when they finish Honorable Xiao will come out promptly to meet you again. Everyone please rest for the time being.” when the crowd heard it their chattering ceased, some sat down immediately.

Duan Yu fear Shaolin might hatch a plot to harm Xiao Feng, he said: “Big brother, let me accompany you!” Xiao Feng nod his head and said: “Very well.” they followed the four monks to the main hall. When they arrived, the monk who is leading the way call out to the monks in the hall, another 10 old monks came out and accompanied them. Xiao Feng is inwardly afraid, these few old monks walk with a steady gait, their gaze bright and clear, most likely they are experts from the Xuan generation, he assume these group of monks will attack him soon, he will surely meet a violent death, he whispered to Duan Yu who is beside him: “Brother, go outside and take care of my entourage, afterwards go protect your father.” Duan Yu shake his head, he smile and said: “Shaolin will not harm my father. We are sworn brothers, we will face life and death together!” Xiao Feng is extremely touched, he grasped Duan Yu’s hand lightly.

The group entered a meditation room, abbot XuanCi is already standing by the door to greet them, he invite everyone to sit down. A monk served tea, XuanCi and Duan Yu exchange a few pleasantries, XuanCi introduced the foreign guests to Xiao Feng, he introduced ShenShan, ShenYin, GuanXin, DaoQing, JiaoXian and RongZhi, afterwards he introduced the monks from Xuan generation. XuanCi took out a cotton cap from his bosom and wore it, he put his palms together and said smilingly: “Honorable Xiao, do you still recognize old monk?”

Xiao Feng recognize him immediately, he bow and said: “Great master XuanCi, you are Mr Chi.” XuanCi nod his head and smile. Four old monks took out cotton caps from their bosom and wore it. Xiao Feng bow and said to XuanDu: “Great master XuanDu, you are Mr Du.” he paid his respect to XuanYin and said: “Great master XuanYin, you are Mr Jin.” he paid his respect to XuanZhi and said: “Great master XuanZhi, you are Mr Chu.” he paid his respect to XuanSheng and said: “Great master XuanSheng, you are Mr Sun.” XuanDu is injured, he is supported by his disciples, he said gravely: “Lady AhZhu is vivacious and adorable, she ask old monk to take care of his body, what a pity, she left this world first.” Xiao Feng’s heart ached, he forcefully held back his tears.

XuanCi said: “Martial brothers, Lord Xiao is a former student of Shaolin, he is the disciple of XuanKu. Martial brother XuanKu was killed 2 years ago, at that time everyone assumed Lord Xiao committed the crime. Old monk and martial brother XuanJi examined the broken bones of XuanKu thoroughly, the murder’s palm strength is exceptionally violent and fierce, it did not originate from Shaolin. However we knew Lord Xiao mastered Beggar Clan’s [28 Dragon Subduing Palm], the palm style strong and powerful, thus old monk, along with XuanDu, XuanYin, XuanZhi and XuanSheng, five of us change into laymen clothes, we ran into Lord Xiao at a pavilion in Mount Tiantai, we invited him to display his full strength, exhaust all his abilities. The five of us match palm with him, we came to the same conclusion: “XuanKu was not killed by Qiao Feng!””

“Among the Xuan generation, XuanNan, XuanJi, XuanTong, they are occupied with some other matters, the five of us are the remaining fighters. We fellow apprentice employed different palm strength, hard and strong, soft and yielding, heavy and profound, Lord Xiao must make an all-out-effort, he cannot use cheap tricks or else he will die violently on the spot. Even if he manage to conceal his true ability from one of us, he definitely cannot hide from all five of us. Old monk exchange a palm with him, old monk use a move from [Prajna Palm], “The Bottom Of Emptiness”, my palm strength was truly vacant and empty, unexpectedly Lord Xiao’s palm strength suddenly became empty, if old monk was tempted by his move and seize the opportunity to release my strength his ribs will surely shatter. The five of us meet Lord Xiao by chance at the mountain, for the sake of not injuring me he took great risk and withdraw all his palm strength. For a total stranger, an old man he never met before, he refused to harm me, thus how is it possible for him to harm his own revered teacher? Base on palm technique, martial brother XuanKu was not killed by Lord Xiao! Base on personal character, even more unlikely for him to kill XuanKu!””

XuanDu, XuanYin, XuanZhi, XuanSheng, four of them said in unison: “Senior martial brother abbot made the deduction immediately on the spot. The four of us had to think over the details, we discussed the various subtle points in his palm technique and palm strength, we were left without the slightest bit of doubt.”

XuanCi said in an awe-inspiring manner: “At that time on Mount Tiantai, five of us made a decision, if Xiao Feng is indeed the murderer then five of us will combine our strength and exterminate him, firstly this is to avenge XuanKu, secondly it is to get rid of a great calamity.” he turn towards Xiao Feng and said: “Xiao shizhu, today we revealed this matter, it is not to show off but to explain to martial brother ShenShan and the other senior monks, our Shaolin disciple did not kill innocent people rashly, Shaolin is upright and disciplined.”

Xiao Feng bow and said: “Yes. Many thanks to abbot for clearing my name.”

XuanCi’s expression is kind and amiable, he said unhurriedly: “Xiao shizhu, i will be blunt: The leader you have been tracking down all along, it is old monk XuanCi!” when everyone heard it they cannot help but tremble.

XuanCi continued: “That day at Mount Tiantai, i knew you did not kill martial brother XuanKu, thus when i match palm with you i withdraw my palm strength, i intended for you to kill me with a single strike so that you can avenge you parents!”

Xiao Feng obtained this truth abruptly, his mind is in turmoil, nevertheless various doubts and suspicions finally cleared up: “At that time someone delivered false news, my father is coming to steal martial art manuals from Shaolin’s Hidden Scripture Pavilion, martial artists from Central Plains have to stop him, obviously Shaolin’s abbot have to take the lead; Abbot XuanCi headed the group, along with former Beggar Clan Chief Wang as well as other martial art experts. Since i came from Shaolin, i am aware of abbot XuanCi’s amiable nature, he definitely won’t kill my father and mother for no reason, my heart is bias, i ignored the leader of the group who is right in front of me, i never bothered to think through the possibility that abbot XuanCi is the leader! I assumed the leader is extremely vicious and evil, no matter how you see it he cannot be linked to abbot XuanCi. Xiao Feng is really blind, stupid to the extreme, i sacrificed AhZhu for nothing.” when he thought of AhZhu his heart ached again.

XuanCi said dimly: “Old monk made a huge blunder, i willingly accept death. Xiao shizhu, please come here and kill me with 1 strike. Avenge your parents, this should be the proper thing to do as a son. Old monk failed to reveal this matter early, thus many people were killed. Fellow martial brothers, later on when Xiao Feng kill me, it is cause and effect, when there is a cause there must be an effect. Nobody is allowed to harm him!” he lowered his hands and step forward, waiting for Xiao Feng to land his palm.

Xiao Feng’s hand is behind his back, he step forward slowly and said: “Great master abbot, at that time someone delivered false news, you mistakenly believe it, hence causing the tragedy at YanMen Pass. If i was in your position, i will also do the same thing. Great master abbot handled matters fairly, you did not violate any Buddhist decree. Great master abbot did not kill my revered teacher XuanKu, but my foster parents, Zhao QianSun and the rest, who killed them?” XuanCi said: “Old monk is ashamed, although i did not kill them but they certainly died because of me. Till today old monk still don’t know who is the killer.”

Xiao Feng said: “Since nobody knows the identity of the killer, Xiao Feng cannot place all the blame entirely on you right now. Xiao Feng is muddled and stupid, i was blinded by hatred and desire for revenge, i refuse to free myself, inevitably i caused the death of many people. The truth will come to light eventually, i will seek abbot’s advice again in the future.”

XuanCi put his palm together and said: “If you want revenge you can come take my life anytime. However there are thousands of people who want to kill you right now at the base of the mountain, even if you possess god-like bravery, ultimately you are heavily outnumbered. Why don’t you flee and exit from the rear mountain? Shaolin will bear all responsibility and explain to the crowd of heroes.”

Xiao Feng shake his head and said: “I killed many people at JuXian Manor, although i was forced by circumstance, it was an act of self-defense, but ultimately i was too savage. Since people want to seek me for revenge, how can i hide cowardly? But if i resist then i will kill many people again, what should i do, great master please enlighten me.”

XuanCi said: “I knew your heart is kind and compassionate, base on this you can attain high virtue and achievement.” Xiao Feng said: “Disciple don’t dare to ask for virtue or achievement, i only hope to commit less sin.” XuanCi said: “As a martial art practitioner, when you constantly think about committing less sin, that itself is a virtue.” Xiao Feng said: “Many thanks to great master’s teachings. I will take my leave now.” he bow to the rest of the monks, turn around and left. Duan Yu followed closely and left as well.

Both of them reach the temple’s entrance, the crowd of heroes stood up.

Murong Fu move forward and said in a bright voice: “Xiao Feng, today everyone wants to kill you for revenge, i will start first.” Xiao Feng said: “You want to kill me for revenge, which member of Gusu Murong did i kill?” Murong Fu was at a loss for words, he said: “You and i shared the same status for a long time, today we have to determine who is superior.”

Ding ChunQiu was forced to retreat by Xiao Feng’s palm, his reputation in tatters, moreover he did not get the chance to display all his consummate skills, at once he leap forward, he laugh loudly and said: “The one surnamed Xiao, base on your young age i yielded 3 moves just now, however i will not yield on the 4th move.”

You TanZhi step forward and said: “I thank you for saving Miss AhZi, however you killed my father, this hatred irreconcilable. The one surnamed Xiao, today we will settle this once and for all.”

Xiao Feng saw 3 top experts surrounding him, in addition Shaolin monks are crowded at the east and west, they look disordered and chaotic, in reality they are actually arranged in an extremely powerful formation, the situation now is far more dangerous than the battle at JuXian Manor. Although he already resolved the hatred with the Xuan generation monks just now, but the monks in the ‘Great Luohan Formation’ have yet to know the truth. Suddenly he heard the wretched neighing of horses, 19 Khitan steed turn over and collapsed, they vomit white foam and died violently.

18 Khitan warriors shout out repeatedly, they draw out their sabres and launch their palms, in an instant 7-8 XingXiu disciples were slaughtered, the rest of the XingXiu disciples manage to flee. As it turns out when Ding ChunQiu step forth to challenge, his disciples seize the opportunity to launch poison, they targeted the Khitan’s steed so that Xiao Feng cannot use it to rush out of the encirclement.

Xiao Feng caught a glimpse of his beloved horse staring at him before it died, the horse had a desolate longing expression for its owner, Xiao Feng recalled the long days he spent on the horse, they travelled thousands of miles southward, morning till night they never separate from each other, unexpectedly it died by the hands of these crafty scoundrels, warm blood circulate rapidly in his body, it aroused his heroic courage, he whistled and said: “Gentleman Murong, Chief Zhuang, Old Freak Ding, three of you come at me together, why should i fear you?” he resent XingXiu’s sinister methods, with a ‘Hu’ sound he launch his palm violently towards Ding ChunQiu.

Ding ChunQiu experienced his awesome palm strength before, he launch both palms simultaneously to resist. Xiao Feng conveniently guide the incoming palm force, he draw out the palm strength of two men and sent it hacking towards Murong Fu. Murong Fu’s consummate skill is [Star Shifting Movement], he is an expert in redirecting an opponent’s move, however the move from Xiao Feng contain the palm strength of two different men, the force is too powerful, moreover the palm strength is cycling around rapidly, Murong Fu had no idea where it is targeting thus he cannot redirect the force, at once he push out with both palm and float 3 zhang backwards.

Xiao Feng lean his body to one side, he dodge Murong Fu’s palm force and shouted out, it is akin to a thunderbolt from midair, he strike his left fist at You TanZhi. His stature is big and tall, he is 1 head taller than You TanZhi, this punch is directed at his face. You TanZhi is fearful of Xiao Feng, when he heard this thunderbolt shout he became even more fearful. This fist from Xiao Feng arrive swiftly, launching of palm at Ding ChunQiu, hacking at Murong Fu, punching You TanZhi, although they occur one after another but these 3 moves are executed in succession, as fast as lightning, You TanZhi was about to ward off the fist but the force already reach his face, fortunately for him he trained [Divine Foot Scripture] diligently, his body will react automatically, his head move backward rapidly and he somersault backward twice, he manage to dodge this thousand catties punch by a hair’s breadth.

However You TanZhi felt a cooling sensation on his face, he heard the crowd gasp in surprise, pieces of cloth scattered in all directions like butterflies. Unexpectedly his face mask was shattered by Xiao Feng’s fist. The crowd saw his bumpy, indented face, some patches red, some patches black, his face riddled with scars, facial features all mashed up, ugly and terrifying to the extreme, everyone was overwhelmed with shock.

With just 3 moves Xiao Feng repelled the top 3 experts of the current age, his heroic spirit burst forth and he shouted: “Bring the wine!” a Khitan warrior retrieved a huge leather bag from the dead horse, he presented it with both hands. Xiao Feng pull out the cork and lifted the leather bag high up in the air, he tilt it slightly and a stream of white wine flow out. He turn his head upwards, with a ‘Gudu Gudu’ sound he drank endlessly. The leather bag is filled with wine, its at least 20 catties, however Xiao Feng drank without stopping and emptied the entire bag of wine. His stomach bulge slightly, however his complexion is still dark, expression normal, he was completely unaffected by the wine. The crowd of heroes turn pale and look at each other, Xiao Feng wave his right hand, the remaining 17 Khitan warriors all carried a huge leather bag and rush towards him.

Xiao Feng said to the 18 Khitan warriors: “Brothers, this Gentleman Duan from Dali, he is my sworn brother. Today we are surrounded by enemies, facing impossible odds, difficult to escape.” just now he matched palm with Murong Fu and the rest, although he won but he tested their abilities, these 3 experts all possess consummate skills, if they join hands and act together he will surely be defeated, moreover he is surrounded by over a thousand heroes, they are glaring at him like a tiger watching its prey. He held onto Duan Yu’s hands and said: “Brother, you and i will share life and death together, we did not become sworn brothers in vain, regardless of whether we live or die, everyone should drink to their heart’s content!”

Duan Yu was aroused by his heroic spirit, he took a leather bag and said: “Correct, i was about to drink with elder brother to our heart’s content!”

Suddenly a grey-clothed monk came out from the group of Shaolin monks, he said in a bright voice: “Elder brother, 3rd brother, you are drinking wine, how come you never invite me?” it is Xu Zhu. He saw Xiao Feng riding up the mountain, his heroic spirit overpowering, the crowd became lifeless, Xu Zhu cannot help but admire him from the bottom of his heart; He also saw how Duan Yu valued brotherhood, he willingly choose to die together with Xiao Feng, that day when he sworn brotherhood with Duan Yu they also included Xiao Feng, a man should never take back his words, unflinching in face of death, he recalled the feelings he shared with Duan Yu while being intoxicated at Vulture Palace, what life or death, rules and monastic disciple, Xu Zhu cast them aside and ignored it.

Xiao Feng never met with Xu Zhu bef
