Chapter - 308 Havoc In the Jin Palace (10) (1/2)

Under the star light they saw Venerable Lingzhi's red robe fluttered; he entered the waterfall in big strides. Amidst the gurgling water they could hear his loud shouts in Tibetan; looked like he was fighting an intense battle with the man inside.

Everybody looked at each other in surprise. Sha Tongtian and Liang Ziweng were thrown outside; but in the darkness they vaguely saw behind the curtain of water there were one man and one woman. The man was barehanded, and the woman had a stick in her hand. By this time they heard Venerable Lingzhi's loud roar; it looked like he had suffered hardship as well.

Wanyan Honglie knitted his brows, ”Why is this Venerable so reckless? He called out earth shatteringly loud; if the palace guards hear and come over, how can we get the book?” he said.

He had just finished speaking when they saw Venerable Lingzhi's red kasaya fly out from the waterfall and float on the red lotus pond, followed by two clanking noise; two copper cymbals that he used as weapons also flew out of the waterfall. Peng Lianhu was afraid the cymbals would make loud noise if they fell to the ground, thus alerting the palace guards; so he stretched out his hands and caught the cymbals. They heard from the waterfall loud shouts, which nobody could understand, of Tibetan curse words; followed by a huge body flying out of the water.

Luckily Venerable Lingzhi's martial art was different from Hou Tonghai's; he fell backward, but was able to land steadily, his buttocks were not injured at all. He cursed aloud, ”It's the boy and the girl we met at the boat.”

When Guo Jing and Huang Rong were hiding behind the fake hill, they heard Wanyan Honglie's order to the people to come into the cave and steal the book. They thought if the Wumu Legacy were obtained by him, the Jin army could follow Yue Wumu's military strategy to invade the south; then it would be disastrous. They realized that Ouyang Feng was around and that they were not his match, but if they did not bravely step forward, how could they bear it if the common people of the world suffer a disaster?

At first Huang Rong wanted to find a way to scare these people away, but Guo Jing saw the situation was critical; they did not have time to hesitate. Immediately he pulled Huang Rong's hand and slipped behind the waterfall. They were hoping for an opportunity to set up an ambush and attack Ouyang Feng by surprise. Luckily the waterfall's rumbling noise was so loud that nobody noticed their movements.

Two people did all they can to repel Sha Tongtian and the others. They were pleasantly surprised with the result; did not expect the Manual's 'changing muscles forging bones' to be that marvelous. Huang Rong's 'dog-beating stick' had infinite variations, almost fantastical, that even men of Sha Tongtian and Venerable Lingzhi's caliber were thrown into confusion and helplessness. Guo Jing would take advantage of the situation to send out his palm, as a result they managed to throw everybody out of the waterfall.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong knew that as Sha Tongtian and the others were defeated, Ouyang Feng would go into action; and that they absolutely could not fight against him. ”Let us get out of here quick!” Huang Rong said, ”We have to raise the alarm, let the palace guards come over and prevent these people to act further.”

”That's right!” Guo Jing said, ”You go out and raise the alarm. I am staying here to guard.”

”You must not fight the Old Poison,” Huang Rong said.
