Whenever Yang Guo was faced with a great, powerful adversary he would use his “Melancholic
Sad Palms” to defeat his opponent. This style was linked to his emotional state, but now he was
newly reunited with Xiao Longnu and his heart was filled with bliss and happiness. There was not a
trace of melancholy or sadness any longer. He was now faced with a dangerous situation and was
using this very style. But somehow the influence of melancholy and longing was gone; every move
and every stance he made was the same as in the past but the power of it was greatly diminished.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong saw Yang Guo's battle against Fawang and saw him being injured;
unfortunately they could not rush over to help him. Huang Rong suddenly thought of something and
took Yelu Qi's sword and gave it to Guo Jing. She said loudly, "Shoot it over to Guo’er." Guo Jing
took the sword and used two iron bows and placed the sword in between. He aimed and shot the
sword towards Yang Guo. A bright flash seared through the sky and a loud whooshing sound was
heard.
Yang Guo heard the whooshing sound and used his right sleeve to curl around the sword and
immediately used his left hand to wield it. He thrust the sword through the two wheels of Fawang.
Fawang twisted his wheels and the sword was broken again. Everyone saw what happened and was
stunned.
Yang Guo knew it was in vain; he could not rescue Guo Xiang by himself. He would probably die
here as well. He looked tragically at Xiao Longnu and said, "Long’er, farewell. Take care..." At this
moment Fawang used his iron wheel to advance forward, wanting to strike Yang Guo on the skull.
Yang Guo had given up all hope; he casually whisked his sleeve and struck out his palm and it
smashed Fawang directly on the shoulder.
Zhou Botong who was standing below shouted, "Good! That’s one very impressive ‘Entangled by
the Web of Love’." Yang Guo was stunned for a moment and then he realized he was feeling lost
and hopeless and he unintentionally used the stance “Entangled by the Web of Love”. The heart is
the most important factor of this style - it commands the arm and the arm commands the palm. That
day, in the “Hundred Flowers Valley”, Zhou Botong did not feel sadness and melancholy and
therefore he could not grasp the essence behind this style. When Yang Guo was reunited with Xiao
Longnu, this style lost its essence. When Yang Guo faced death and parting with Xiao Longnu the
sorrow and melancholy suddenly surged forth in his heart and immediately boosted the power of the
“Melancholic Sad Palms”.
Fawang was about to be victorious when, suddenly, he was hit on the shoulder. His chest hurt
greatly and he trembled. He was furious and surprised and instantly attacked again.
Yang Guo backed away and retaliated with “In A State Of Disunity”, “Irrational Direction”, “The
Settled Cessation” and another move quickly followed these three attacks. It was the “The
Meaningless Wanderer”. This stance was a kick, but it was a most elusive attack. Fawang could
only vaguely see a leg; it was there, but it was not. He could not avoid this kick and he suffered a
heavy blow to his chest. He coughed up blood and fell. Both armies yelled, the Song yelled with joy
and the Mongolians called out in surprise.
