At noon the next day, Yang Delun was standing in the center of the stage. He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today Master Yao challenges the great hunter Zhao Renshu to a duel. Whoever wins will fight with me. Whoever wins the last battle will be name the greatest hunter ever live." He smiled at Zhao Renshu and his friends. "Let us add spices to the noodle." He pulled down the curtain rope. Ping'an, Lee Dachin, and Yao Lulu hands were tied, they were hanging ten feet above the stage. At their feet is a big fire pit. "No hunter can intervene in this battle. Which hunter who is unable to save their hostage, will lost the duel."
The gathered people gasped.
Yang Delun pointed at Zhao Renshu and Guo Baiyu, "Save your woman and your friends, otherwise they will burn in front of your eyes." When Master Yao and his two disciples walked onto the stage, he laughed. "Cut off another hostage rope and your hostage will be free."
Zhao Renshu first stepped onto the stage, and Guo Baiyu was about to step onto the stage, but Fang Yaoting stopped him, and stepped onto the stage instead.
Yang Delun, "Oh, it's interesting." He held the torch and lit three ropes.
Guo Longtong turned to Huang Hongse, "What does he mean, no one can intervene? This is wrong."
Huang Hongse explained, "The rules of hunters. As long as two hunters agree to a duel, it means that anyone who intervenes will become the enemy of other hunters."
Huang Yueliang, "This is the most shameful way to leave the Hunter World."
Guo Longtong frowned, "Stupid rules."
Master Yao took the first step, trying to cut the rope that bound Lee Dachin. Fang Yaoting blocked Master Yao's attack with a sword strike, which caused Master Yao to stumbled backward two feet.
Master Yao, "Young man, your sword strikes are fast."
Fang Yaoting swung his sword at Master Yao, strikes after strikes. Master Yao flipped back dogging Fang Yaoting's sword attacks.
On the other hand, Zhao Renshu fought two well-trained disciples of Master Yao. When the hunters were fighting on the stage, the burning rope gradually became thinner.
Guo Baiyu grabbed Huang Hongse's arm, "Miss Huang, follow me."
Guo Longtong, "Where are you two going?" He quickly followed Guo Baiyu and Huang Hongse.
Guo Baiyu, Guo Longtong, and Huang Hongse walked back to the stage. They crawled under the stage to where Yang Delun sat.
Guo Baiyu, "I will set up a demon seal magic bidding circle here. If Yang Delun, is being possesses, he will not be able to get out of this circle. Miss Hong, I need your flag to add extra protection around this circle."
Huang Hongse took out one flag and recited spell.
Guo Baiyu, "Longtong, I need to borrow your left arm." Guo Baiyu rolled up Guo Longtong's sleeve and took out a small knife.
Guo Longtong quickly pulled his arm back in a panic, "You said borrow, you didn't say cut."
Guo Baiyu, "I need to borrow your blood. Think about it, you won't help us fight anywhere."
Huang Hongse scoffed coldly, "Man's up." She stared at him dissatisfied.
Guo Longtong surrendered his innocent arm to Guo Baiyu. Guo Baiyu made a clean cut, damped the blood with one of his fingers, and began to draw a small magic circle. After drawing the circle, Huang Hongse stick one flag into the ground, and the flag multiples itself to twenty small flags surrounded the blood magic circle.
The three friends heard the sound of feet stomping on the stage above them as they crawled back out under the stage. The three friends walked back to the stage, and the five men were still fighting. So far, more people have come out to watch the performance on the stage. Guo Baiyu noticed that Boss Xiong and his family were not far away, and they had also come to witness the battle with their own eyes like everyone else.
Master Yao directly dispatched three small daggers to Fang Yaoting as a diversion. Fang Yaoting dogged the three daggers, but Master Yao went straight to the middle and first ropes. Zhao Renshu did three backflips towards Master Yao, but Master Yao had already cut the two ropes. Zhao Renshu kicked Master Yao, then flipped back and grabbed the two ropes with his two hands.
Due to the bodies weight of Ping'an and Lee Dachin, Zhao Renshu was being drag toward the fire pit. Zhao Renshu quickly rolled forward on the floor, winding two ropes around his waist, Master Yao kicked him hard in the stomach, causing him to slide forward closer to the fire pit. Zhao Renshu groaned in pain, but managed to stand up slowly. Zhao Renshu held the two ropes in his left hand and walked to the center of the stage.
Fang Yaoting now began to attack the two disciples. One of the disciples loosened the grip of his sword, then Fang Yaoting flipped the sword with his right foot to his left hand, and then threw the sword directly at the last rope.
The disciple shouted, "Master Yao, the rope."
Master Yao turned around, Zhao Renshu took the opportunity to kick him hard in the chest, causing Master Yao to step back, Master Yao grabbed the rope by his left hand. Zhao Renshu and Master Yao stared at each other.
Master Yao shouted, "One defends him, the other attack."
When one of Master Yao's disciples tried to escape Fang Yaoting's attack, Ping'an grabbed the rope with her hands and pulled herself up. She used her teeth to loosened the rope tied around her hands.
After fighting with Fang Yaoting for a while, one of the disciple escaped from Fang Yaoting and began to attack Zhao Renshu. Fang Yaoting attacked his opponent while Zhao Renshu defended himself.
Zhao Renshu shouted to Fang Yaoting, "Childe Fang, no mercy!"
Yang Delun noticed that Ping'an was able to remove the first layer of the rope around her hands. Then he sent a knife and cut Ping'an's rope. Ping'an fell into the fire pit.
Guo Baiyu and Zhao Renshu both shouted, "PING'AN!"
Zhao Renshu was distracted by the sudden fall of Ping'an, so when a disciple swung his sword at Zhao Renshu, he retreated towards the fire pit.
Guo Baiyu shouted, "Be careful!"
Ping'an breaks the rope apart using her spiritual energy before she hit the fire. She jumped from the fire pit and shouted at Zhao Renshu, "Down."
Zhao Renshu clutched down on the floor. Ping'an released her whip, the whip hit the disciple's left cheek, and knocked the man down. Ping'an kicked the fallen man towards Fang Yaoting. Fang Yaoting brandished his sword and stabbed the injured disciple on his left thigh. The wounded disciple screamed in pain. Fang Yaoting then kicked the injured disciple off the stage, leaving him lifeless on the ground. Ping'an used her whip to wrapped around Lee Dachin's waist and pulled him onto the stage safely. Fang Yaoting flew over and stood beside Lee Dachin. Fang Yaoting cut the rope that bonded Lee Dachin's hands with his sword. Ping'an saw her three swords in a glass jar with a talisman on top of the jar.
Ping'an whispered to Lee Dachin, "Dachin, get off the stage."
Master Yao disciples stepped onto the stage. Zhao Renshu conjured a single talisman floating on his right palm. Fifty sharp icicles appeared aiming at the disciples, stopping them from moving.
Zhao Renshu said angrily, "I have no patience anymore . If you move, you die."
Master Yao was sweating badly, because now the two of them were outnumber, he knows that these hunters are not just ordinary hunters.
Zhao Renshu, "Master Yao, do you still want to continue fighting to satisfy this lunatic fantasy? If you still do... I will show no mercy and all of your disciples will die right now for breaking the rules." Zhao Renshu turned to Ping'an, lightly gently pinch her on the left cheek. "You are the best."
Zhao Renshu looked at Guo Baiyu, and Guo Baiyu nodded. Zhao Renshu put his hand together and started chanting. Suddenly, Yang Delun screamed in pain and covered both ears.
Yang Delun shouted, "STOP IT! STOP IT!" The eerie voices of both man and woman came from Yang Delun. "It's too hot! Stop it!"
Zhao Renshu demanded, "Abandon the vessel."
Xianmu screamed and pulled herself out of Yang Delun's, "Ah!"
Ping'an sent out a rope talisman at Yang Delun. The rope tightly wrapped Yang Delun's body. Ping'an pulled Yang Delun's body out from the fire magic circle. Yang Delun struggled and resisted. Yang Delun's body knocked down the glass jar that locked Ping'an's swords was lock inside. The jar broke when it hit the floor, and three swords floated backwards, coiling around their master.
Master Yao, "Everyone, stand down." The disciples stepped back from the stage, and the icicles despaired. Master Yao pulled his daughter to safety.
Yang Delun broke free from the rope and grabbed Yao Lulu's neck, "Master Yao, kill Zhao Renshu or your daughter will die."
A female hunter in the crowd shouted, "Master Yao, don't do this."
Another female hunter said, "If you attack Zhao Renshu, you will become the enemy of Guozao hunters and other hunters."
Male hunter, "Your good name will be forever taint."
Fang Yaoting said madly, "If you dare to attack, I won't go easily." He pointed his sword at Master Yao.
Master Yao is in a difficult situation. If he saves his daughter, than he will be the enemy of the hunter world and a disgrace to the Yao ancestors. If he did not save his daughter, then he would lose his only child.
Zhao Renshu bit his lips, he winked at Ping'an, and then he shouted, "Baiyu attack from behind!"
Yang Delun's head tilted back, then Ping'an's whip wrapped around Yang Delun's hand, and she removed his hand from Yao Lulu's neck. Zhao Renshu brandished his sword, and quickly flew past Yang Delun, cutting off his arm. Zhao Renshu swung his sword backwards, stabbing Yang Delun from the back. Zhao Renshu's sword pierced Yang Delun's upper abdomen from his back. As blood dripped from his abdomen, Yang Delun grabbed Zhao Renshu's sword with both hands.
Zhao Renshu smirked, "Make you look." He drew out the sword and kicked Yang Delun's body into the hot fire pit.
Master Yao nodded at Zhao Renshu, "Thank you." Yao Lulu ran to her father's arms.
A man said, "Wow, his sword is fast."
Male hunter, "That's the famous hunter Zhao Renshu. Those who did evil will never live to tell their tale. If they face Zhao Renshu."
Female, "They deserves theirs title."
Another asked, "Who are they?"
Female hunter, "Their title is 'Guozho Hunters'."
Boss Xiong couldn't believe his eyes. His lips trembled. Throughout his life, the daughter he hated has become a famous hunter in the eyes of others. She is the child of the devil and has not achieve anything in the seventeen years of living with him, but now standing before him is a hero, praised among the men and women of the Hunter World.
