On the other front, Lu Zhangke, with the deer antler staff in his hand, fought Zhi Fa Zhanglao and Zhang Bo Longtou, two people. For the time being, it was hard to decide which side had the upper hand.

Seeing Chuan Gong Zhanglao's face was flushed as red as blood, while retreating step-by-step, Zhang Bang Longtou could not help from feeling alarmed. He knew Chuan Gong Zhanglao's profound power, which could be considered as their Clan's number one martial art expert; how could he not able to match this old man? By the fifth palm exchange, he saw Chuan Gong Zhanglao was gasping for breath, his white beard fluttered in the air; it was clear that he was in distress. Although he knew Chuan Gong Zhanglao had never liked to be helped in fight, seeing his dire condition, in the end Zhang Bang Longtou could not let him lose his life under the enemy's hand; Zhang Bang Longtou swept He Biweng's feet using his iron staff.

As the Xuanming Elders appeared, Zhao Min was about to retreat, but Chen Youliang blocked her way with a sword. In the Wan An Temple, Zhao Min had learned the essence of the Six Major Sects' martial art skill. With 'shua, shua, shua'sounds her sword moved. The first stance was Huashan's sword technique, the second was Kunlun's, and the last one was Kongtong's. For the fourth stance, she used the Emei Pai's 'jin ding jiu shi' [golden peak nine styles].

Chen Youliang was taken by surprise and was not able to fend off. Zhao Min's sword made a circle and stabbed straight toward his chest. 'Clang!' a sword was thrust horizontally from the left, diverting Zhao Min's sword; it was Song Qingshu.

While the battle was raging all over the main hall, Zhang Wuji watched from the top of the pine tree. He saw Song Qingshu was able to fully utilize the Wudang sword technique. His movements were steady and fierce; apparently he had mastered the lessons imparted by is father, Song Yuanqiao. Chen Youliang also attacked from the side. Although Zhao Min possessed a vast knowledge of sword techniques, in the end diversity could not overcome purity. With one against two, already she was forced to defend herself more and attack less.

Zhang Wuji was secretly anxious, but also puzzled, "Why does she use an ordinary sword? If it was Yitian Sword, she would be able to cut her opponents' swords and break through their siege." He noticed that she was wearing tight clothes, showing off her slim figure; it was obvious that she was not concealing the Yitian Sword on her waist. After feeling anxious for a while, Zhang Wuji rebuked himself, "Zhang Wuji, this little witch killed your cousin; why are you anxious over her safety instead? You not only offend Biaomei [younger female cousin], but offend Yifu and Zhiruo as well."

After fighting for a while, several more martial art masters from the Beggar Clan joined the battle, while on Zhao Min's side no other people came in to help. Realizing the unfavorable situation, Lu Zhangke called out, "Jun Zhu Niang-niang [princess], Shi Di [martial (younger) brother], let's retreat to the courtyard and find an opportunity to leave."

"Very well," Miss Zhao said, "This man surnamed Chen slanders Zhang Gongzi [young master Zhang], saying he is short-lived and will die young. I am mad at him; you two deal with him well."

"Will do," Xuanming Elders replied, "Junzhu, please leave first. Leave this kid to us."

Zhao Min also said, "That Han Lin'er is very loyal to Zhang Gongzi, you must try to save him."

"Junzhu, please withdraw first," Lu Zhangke said, "Leave the rescuing business to us, two brothers." These three people were talking about rescuing people while under the siege of powerful enemies, as if they did not have any regard toward their opponents.

While the battle in the main hall was raging wild, the Beggar Clan's Clan Leader Shi Huolong was standing quietly on the corner of the main hall. As Chuan Gong and Zhi Fa two Elders listened to Zhao Min's exchange with the Xuanming Elders, they ordered their people to intercept. Suddenly both Lu Zhangke and He Biweng left their opponents and charged toward Shi Huolong. Their movement was so fast that it was impossible for Shi Huolong to resist. Who would have thought that as Chen Youliang listened to Zhao Min and the Xuanming Elders planning their escape, he had already anticipated this tactic? He preceded everybody else by going around and was ready by Shi Huolong's side.

Before the Xuanming Elders' palm strikes arrived, Chen Youliang had already pushed Shi Huolong's shoulder down, and shoved him behind the Mi Le Fo image. 'Crack!' as the Xuanming Elders palms struck down, part of the idol broke with its debris flew everywhere, while the idol itself was swaying, ready to fall down. He Biweng moved another step forward and struck two more times with his palms. The large idol flew to the air and crashed down.

The crowd of beggars cried out in alarm and leaped away to evade. Zhao Min took advantage of this highly chaotic situation to leap out to the courtyard. Song Qingshu and Zhang Bang Longtou, one with a sword the other a staff, pursued together. As she was leaping over the temple gate, three staves suddenly appeared lightning fast to sweep the lower part of Zhao Min's body. Zhao Min was already busy blocking Song Qingshu's sword and Zhang Bang Longtou's iron staff, now she had to evade these three incoming attacks. She managed to avoid two, but failed to evade the third. She felt pain on her left shin as a staff struck her, her feet faltered and she fell down forward. Song Qingshu flipped his sword to strike the back of Zhao Min's head with the handle, with the intention of knocking her down and capture her alive.

As the sword hilt was only less than half a foot away from her head, suddenly the iron staff in Zhang Bang Longtou's hand flicked the sword hilt up, diverting Song Qingshu's sword to the side. Right at that moment a shadow flew up and leaped over the wall.

Song Qingshu turned around and asked Zhang Bang Longtou, "Why did you let her go?"

Zhang Bang Longtuo was angry, "Why did you pull my iron staff up?"

"It was you who used your staff to divert my sword," Song Qingshu said, "And still …"

"It's no use arguing," Zhang Bang Longtou shouted, "Let's pursue her!"

Immediately two people leaped over the wall, only to see nearby the corner a seven-pouch disciple was lying down; his leg was broken from the fall that he was unable to crawl back up.

"Where did that witch run away to?" Zhang Bang Longtou asked.

Several seven-pouch disciples who were on guard outside the wall replied, "Nobody was here; we did not see anybody."

Zhang Bang Longtou was angry, "Just a moment ago clearly somebody was leaping over the wall over here. Are you all blind?"

A six-pouch disciple stooped down to help the seven-pouch disciple whose leg was broken, he said, "Just now it was this brother who leaped over the wall, there was no other people."

Zhang Bang Longtou scratched his head and asked that seven-pouch disciple, "Why did you leap over the wall?"

"I … ," the seven-pouch disciple mumbled indistinctly, "I was grabbed and thrown away. That witch used a weird technique."

Zhang Bang Longtou turned toward Song Qingshu and angrily shouted, "Just now you used your sword handle to pull up my iron staff, why did you do that? You have just joined our Clan, and already you pulled a stunt?"

Song Qingshu was shocked and angered, he said, "Disciple was just going to use the sword hilt to strike down that witch, it was Longtou Dage [big brother Longtou] who used the iron staff to divert my sword hilt, letting that witch escape."
