Heheheh, stretching it a bit aren't we? The fact that Z3F was actually meditating and doing that whole "locking myself up" thing has nothing to do with it?Originally Posted by Candide
Uh... no. Once YG got strong enough to take on the Golden Wheel Monk, he did. Once LHC got strong enough to fight against Tian Bo Guang fairly, he did, and beat him. Those 6 monks were so "respectful" of Jiu Mo Zhi that they risked letting Duan Yu die in order to preserve energy for the on-coming fight. In fact, since Jiu Mo Zhi was technically not a "wulin person", there was "no need" to follow wulin rules. After all, they merely ganged up on a strong outsider (much like how the "heroes" ganged up on Xiao Feng at the "Heroes' Gathering"). I guess all of those foes ganged up on Xiao Feng out of respect too.The 6 monks did it out of both: respect and desperation. The latter case: it doesn't matter: even if they weren't desperate (i.e not a dead or alive situation), they would have to do it out of respect anyway.
The reason, more or less, those people "got away with it" is because their foes (Tian Bo Guang, Golden Wheel Monk, etc.) allowed it because they were trying to eliminate excuses for their foes.
