Guo Jing watches in amazement as Mei practices her techniques, demonstrating that in the years since she was blinded by the Six Freaks, she has advanced considerably. It turns out that of all the unscalable cliffs in Mongolia, Cyclone Mei picked the same one Guo Jing is using to also meditate and practice her lethal kung fu. In short order, Mei arrives and Guo Jing and his master hide. His secret master recognized the gruesome find as Cyclone Mei’s work. Unbeknownst to the Six Freaks, Guo Jing also found the pyramid of skulls on top of the cliff. I mean, from everything else I’ve read of these guys up until now, I’d guess they’d pick the bet every time and twice on Sundays. “Which is more important–our lives or a bet?” “Kill him? What about our bet with Qiu Chuji?” Well, they split the vote between the six of themīut still, really? What follows is one of the more humorous quotes from this chapter. What do they decide to do? They decide to kill Guo Jing. Their nemesis is not only alive, but she is here and for some reason, training their own disciple, perhaps in an attempt at some twisted revenge? Whatever the case, the Six Freaks know they must take action. They find the signature pyramid of human skulls of Cyclone Mei. (Aside: Why didn’t the Six Freaks teach Guo Jing neigong? Is it a thing just for Taoists?)Īt the top their worst fears are realized. The Six Freaks wait at the bottom of the cliff and eventually decide to climb up using ropes to assist their climb. Guo Jing amazes them by climbing the cliff face with his lightness. How else would he know neigong? Who is it and why is he keeping it a secret? They follow Guo Jing later that night up to the top of the mountain. The Six Freaks are well and truly worried now that they suspect that Guo Jing is secretly training under another master. I feel like things are hitting a groove here so let’s get started… (spoilers!) Yes! Another chapter that closely follows Guo Jing’s progress on the steppe.
