Yin Liting was very familiar with these two men's punching and kicking style; he knew that each stance was meant to take the opponent's life. Hence, his anxiety far surpassed of those who were merely spectators. Fortunately, he noticed that Yu Lianzhou gradually gained the upper hand. He would have hacked him dead early on if he did not guard against Song Qingshu's malicious and ruthless five-finger piercing stance, hence being somewhat cautious.

Zhang Wuji was also quite worried. Secretly he grabbed two Sheng Huo Ling tablets in his pocket. If Yu Lianzhou's life will be in danger, he would disregard the general assembly's rule by dashing out and save him.

The cloud of dust was growing higher. Suddenly Song Qingshu stretched out his left hand with his five fingers spread out to claw Yu Lianzhou's right shoulder. For the last hundred stances or so, Yu Lianzhou had been waiting for Song Qingshu to launch this stance.

Yu Lianzhou had clearly seen the way Song Qingshu used his claw to kill the two elders of the Beggar Clan. If there were no previous fatal example, Yu Lianzhou would have been taken by surprise by this kind of fierce and killer stance. Although he might not die, but he would certainly be seriously injured. However, since he had seen this stance, he had prepared beforehand how to deal with it. On the other hand, Song Qingshu had not practiced this claw technique long enough; his movement did not have too many variations. His movement this time was almost the same to the previous ones.

Yu Lianzhou made a slight shoulder movement to evade. His left hand made several circles in the air.

"Ah!" Zhao Min and Fan Yao could not bear not to exclaim together, because Yu Lianzhou's circles were exactly the 'luan huan jue' of Taijiquan Zhang Wuji taught Fan Yao earlier.

As Zhao Min and Fan Yao watched this, they knew Song Qingshu was in a very bad moment. Before their 'ah!' exclaim was even finished, the five fingers of Song Qingshu's right hand had arrived at Yu Lianzhou's throat.

Zhang Wuji was enraged. "He deserves to die! He deserves to die!" he muttered under his breath. The Beggar Clan's Zhi Fa Zhanglao lost his life under this claw. Unexpectedly Song Qingshu was brazen enough to use this malicious hand toward his own martial uncle.

But he saw that one of Yu Lianzhou's arms made a circle, while the other arm revolved in the 'zuan fan' [drilling/boring movement] and 'luo xuan' [corkscrew turn] stances from the 'liu he jin' [six gathering strengths] style. Yu Lianzhou's arms coiled around Song Qingshu's arms. 'Crack! Crack!' Song Qingshu's arm joints broke.

"Qidi [seventh (younger) brother] is avenged today!" Yu Lianzhou roared.

Joining his arms together, Yu Lianzhou continued striking both of Song Qingshu's ears with the 'shuang feng guan er' [a pair of wind piercing the ears]. It was an attack where the 'soft' power was focused into one target. Song Qingshu's skull disintegrated immediately. But before his body even fell to the ground, Yu Lianzhou gave him a powerful kick. Obviously, he wanted to finish Song Qingshu on the spot.

Suddenly a dark green shadow flashed by; a long whip threatened Yu Lianzhou's face. Hastily he leaped back to evade. But with an unimaginable speed the long whip kept threatening his face. It was none other than the Emei Pai's Sect Leader seeking revenge for her husband.

Yu Lianzhou hurriedly took three steps backward. Zhou Zhiruo's whip technique was truly out of this world; in just three stances Yu Lianzhou was surrounded by the whip. Suddenly the flexible whip shook and coiled back. Zhou Zhiruo caught the tip of the whip with her left hand and coldly said, "If I take your life right now, you will be dissatisfied. Unsheathe your weapon!"

'Shua!' Yin Liting drew his sword out. He stepped forward and said, "Let me receive Miss Zhou's instruction."

Zhou Zhiruo stared at him with cold eyes; she turned around to look at Song Qingshu's injury. His eyes were closed, blood flowed out from is seven orifices, he laid down on the ground, paralyzed. It looked like his life could not be saved. Three male disciples from Emei Pai rushed forward and took him back to their shelter.

Zhou Zhiruo turned back and pointed at Yu Lianzhou and said, "I'll kill you first. Killing the one surnamed Yin later will not be too late."

Yu Lianzhou had exhausted his entire strength just now yet he was unable to escape from her whip's encirclement. He was inwardly shocked. He loved his younger martial brother. He thought, "If I fight her, even though I might die under her whip, at least Liudi [sixth (younger) brother] would have a chance to see her whip technique. My only hope is that his chance of survival will be increased by several points."

Reaching behind his back, he wanted to take over Yin Liting's sword. Yin Liting also realized the mortal danger they were facing. Even with the two martial brothers' level of martial art skills, the chance of them escaping her long whip's strike seemed very remote. Both he and his Shixiong had the same intention; he also wanted to fight her first, so that Shixiong would have a chance to find the gist of her whip technique. Thereupon, he was unwilling to hand his sword over.

"Shige [martial (older) brother]," he said, "Let me have a go first."

Yu Lianzhou turned his gaze to him. They had been training in the same school for dozens of years. They had a very close relationship with each other; as close as blood brothers. That moment, deep emotion surged up his breast; his thought flashed back and forth like lightning. He remembered Yu Daiyan was crippled, Zhang Cuishan killed himself, Mo Shenggu died a tragic death. From the Wudang Seven Heroes, only four left. It seemed like two more heroes would lost their lives in this place. Although Yin Liudi was strong in martial art, emotionally he was very weak. If he died first, Yin Liudi's mind would take such a blow that he might be unable to fight an all out battle.

"If I died first," he carefully considered, "Liudi would have to go through countless difficulties to avenge me, while he himself would not want to escape alive alone. In the end, the two of us, martial brothers, would unavoidably die together in vain. If he died first, I would have a chance to understand the essence of this woman's whip technique, and then perhaps I could fight her with all I have and die together with her." Thereupon he nodded and said, "Liudi, try to hold your ground as long as possible."

Remembering his pregnant wife, Yang Buhui, Yin Liting could not help but taking a glance toward Yang Xiao and Zhang Wuji. But immediately he rebuked himself, "After I die, other people will certainly take a good care of Buhui and the child; why would I act like a weak woman by asking others to help?" Thereupon he raised his sword, his eyes focused on the sword, his mind cleared of other matters, his back straightened, his chest puffed out, his shoulder relaxed and his elbows hang loosely.

"Zhang Men Ren [sect leader], please grant your instructions!" he said. Although he was a lot older than Zhou Zhiruo, at this moment, Zhou Zhiruo was the Sect Leader of Emei Pai. He did not want to show the least bit of disrespect.

Noticing that Yin Liting was using the 'Taijijian' [Taiji Sword] to face the opponent; Yu Lianzhou knew that his sixth brother was prepared to unleash the full potential of their school's most powerful skill to contend with the most powerful enemy. He slowly retreated from the arena.

"You may start!" Zhou Zhiruo said.

Yin Liting thought that the opponent's movement was lightning fast. If he let her took the initiative, he might never be able to regain his momentum. Thereupon as his left foot took a step, he switched the sword to his left hand, and launched the 'san huan tao yue' [three rings around the moon]. This first stance was a mixture of truth and deceit; the sword in his left hand lunged toward the enemy, the blade flickered with rays of light, 'swish, swish, swish', the sword produced light swishing noise. The crowd of heroes broke into an earth-shattering applause.
