Chapter - 477 Three Golden Needles (6)

Guo Fu whispered, "Sister, this black guy is a Mongolian warrior and his martial arts are great; you attack his right while I attack his left." She drew out her sword and thrust towards Nimoxing's waist.

Guo Xiang did not bring any weapons out of the city and thought that since he had lost his legs and was using his crutches to fight, how could he fight her sister? So she said, "Sister, this person is pitiful, don't hurt him!"

As she said this, Nimoxing braced his left crutch on the ground and defended himself with his right crutch. Then he struck Guo Fu's sword, causing sparks to fly and Guo Fu's sword to fly out of her hand. She felt her hand go numb and her chest was hurting. Then she used a special stance to follow the sword and retrieve it with her left hand. Striking forward with the 'Sword of the Yue Maiden' [Chao Nu Jian Fa] as she fought with Nimoxing. This 'Chao Nu Jian Fa' was taught to Guo Jing by Han Xiaoying of the Jiangnan Seven Freaks. Guo Jing taught this skill to his two daughters out of gratitude to her. This sword skill was smooth and contained subtle changes and was a powerful skill. If Guo Jing executed this skill, it would be strong and powerful and would not be overcome easily, but Guo Fu was not very strong; although the strokes were good, they were not good enough to defend against Nimoxing's crutches.

Guo Xiang saw how Nimoxing was using his crutches. The left and right crutches were swapping roles intermittently and were very swift. The crutches were long as well, so her sister was losing to his fierce attacks. She then became more anxious. Guo Fu felt the pressure from his crutches getting stronger and stronger, hitting her sword with great force, causing her strokes to be unsteady. Guo Xiang was worried about her sister but was unarmed so she sent out her palms and struck towards Nimoxing.

Nimoxing shouted and poked his left crutch on the ground and leapt into the air, attacking with both crutches at great speed. The crutches hit Guo Xiang in the shoulder and Guo Fu in the chest. Guo Xiang stumbled and retreated several steps. Guo Fu was hit quite hard and could not withstand the pain and she sat down heavily.

Nimoxing was feeling proud of himself and swaggered towards Guo Fu, laughing coldly, "I told you to be good and follow me…"

Guo Fu jumped up and said, "Let's escape from the back of the temple!"

Nimoxing was shocked. He had obviously hit her "Shen Cang" (Hiding Deity) Accupoint, how could she still move? He did not know about Guo Fu's soft armour and thought she must have learned some great skills from the Guo family that prevented her accupoint from being sealed. Actually, Guo Fu's accupoint was not sealed, but she was injured by that strike and could not use her sword. Guo Xiang then unleashed the 'Descending Hero's Palm Skill' [Luo Ying Zhang Fa] to protect her sister and shouted, "Sister, you go first!"

Nimoxing raised his left crutch and sent it towards Guo Xiang, stopping three inches in front of her nose, but the wind generated was so great that her face hurt. He shouted, "Don't move!"

Guo Xiang angrily said, "At first I pitied you, but you're such an evil person!"

Nimoxing laughed, "Little girl, if you don't suffer you won't know my strength." His crutch hit the ground, his face was fierce and ugly, he opened his mouth, exposing his white teeth and charged forwards screaming like he wanted to bite someone.

Suddenly someone behind said, "Don't be afraid! Use secret projectiles on him."

This was a dangerous moment and Guo Xiang did not care who that was and felt around her body and urgently said, "I don't have any." She saw Nimoxing getting closer and was at her wits' end and tried to use a palm stance called the 'Flower Spreading Stance' [Shan Hua Shi] to protect herself. She out stretched her palms and felt a breeze suddenly blow across them; then her hands trembled slightly and two thin golden bangles flew out, striking Nimoxing's crutches.

Although the sound made on impact was not very loud, Nimoxing knew he could not withstand it and his crutches flew backwards, hitting the wall, causing dust and mud to fly on impact. Nimoxing lost his crutches and fell down. He hit his back on the ground and then jumped up, screaming angrily and struck his palms out, sending his whole body forwards with his palms aiming at Guo Xiang.

Guo Xiang did not think and reacted by taking a hair pin out of her hair and tried to hit Nimoxing, then she felt the breeze behind her again and sent the pin flying forward. Nimoxing suddenly saw the pin flying towards him and quickly tried to use both hands to block, then he cried, "Strange!" and fell onto the ground, unmoving.

Guo Xiang feared that he was up to no good, so she jumped to Guo Fu and said, "Sister, let's go!"

The two sisters were standing next to a deity's statue in the temple and saw that Nimoxing did not move at all, so Guo Fu said, "Did he suddenly have a stroke and die?" She raised her voice and said, "Nimoxing, what are you doing?" She thought that since he'd lost his crutches, it would not be convenient for him to move, so she was not afraid and advanced to him. She saw his eyes staring blankly upwards, his face without colour and his mouth wide open; he was dead.

Guo Fu was very surprised and lit the candles in the temple, wanting to investigate further when she heard someone outside the temple saying, "Fu, Second Sister, are you in the temple?" It was Yelu Qi. Guo Fu happily said, "Brother Qi, come quickly. Strange… this is strange!"

When Guo Fu went to find her sister and did not return for quite some time, Yelu Qi, remembering that Lu Youjiao was ambushed and killed and the enemy was just outside Xiangyang, got worried and went to find the two sisters. He brought two sixth grade Beggar Clan members and hurried there only to find Nimoxing dead on the ground, and he was shocked. He knew this short person's martial arts were good; even he could not handle this person himself, so he was surprised that his wife had killed Nimoxing. He took the candle from Guo Fu's hand and looked closely.

He saw two holes in Nimoxing's palms and a hair pin stuck in the Shen Ting (Deity's Hall) Accupoint. This pin hit with great force but did not break and instead was able to penetrate this highly-skilled expert's palms and kill him. Such a powerful skill like that is unthinkable. He turned to Guo Fu and said, "Is Grandfather here (referring to Huang Yaoshi), quickly lead me to greet him."

Guo Fu curiously said, "Who said Grandfather was here?"

Yelu Qi said, "It's not Grandfather?" He swept the place with his eyes and said excitedly, "So it must be Master." He looked around but could not find Zhou Botong. He knew his master was mischievous, so he must have hid himself to scare them. He went out of the temple and jumped onto the roof, but he saw no one.

Guo Fu said, "Hey! Why are you saying such silly things? What Grandfather, what master?"

Yelu Qi then came down and asked how they met Nimoxing and how he met his end. Guo Fu told him, but she completely could not explain how her sister's hair pin could kill him. Yelu Qi said, "Some powerful hero must be helping Sister secretly. The only people I know with such martial arts are Father-in-law, Grandfather, Master, Reverend Yideng and the Golden Wheel Monk (Jinlun Fawang). Fawang is the Mongolian Guo Shi (Spiritual Leader), he wouldn't kill Nimoxing, while Reverend Yideng won't kill anyone, so I thought since it's not Grandfather; it must be Master. Sister, who do you think helped you?"
