Why Seek Your Own Death?

"Not good!"

Venerable Yellow Springs sensed that something was wrong. It was as if the hoe raised by the puppet was not a hoe at all, but a sharp heavenly blade!

"Yellow Springs Secret Art!"

Just as the hoe came crashing down, Venerable Yellow Springs hurriedly used his life-saving secret art, transforming his entire body into Yellow Springs water.

The Yellow Springs water was split in two by the hoe, becoming two masses of water. The two masses rapidly retreated, then merged back together, once again taking the form of Venerable Yellow Springs.
