Jinlun Fawang followed the changes of his bamboo stick, he felt that it was about time to act. When he saw Yang Guo surging and attacking away from the formation Fawang kept on moving backwards to lure him as faraway from the formation as possible. He didnât predicted that after moving back over ten or so steps, his right leg suddenly tripped over a large rock; he had unwittingly been lured into the formation.
He knew something was wrong. He then heard Huang Rong call out, âThe Vermillion Sparrow Displaces the Green Dragon, the âXunâ position changes to the âLiâ, wood into water.â
Guo Fu and the Wu brothers shifted the rocks and changed the formation.
Jinlun Fawangâs face lost itâs colour from shock, he stopped his wheel to inspect the surroundings, while Yang Guoâs bamboo stick coiled its way around towards him. Though Yang Guoâs âDog Beating Stick Techniqueâ wasnât good enough to meet him head on, it was more than enough to confuse and distract him. Fawangâs legs were tripped up a few times and he almost couldnât stand up. He knew that this formation was powerful, the longer he was in it the more confusing it became. In this danger he shouted and leaped up on top of a pile of rocks. Normally, being on top of the rocks keeps one from being trapped and confused by the formation and allows them to regain their sense of direction. He thought that if he went forward in a straight line he will be able to get out of the formation. But he didnât know that he just went from east to west, north to south, and had circled around a couple of times over an area of a hundred feet. Eventually his vigor was depleted and he stopped on the rocks. As soon as he landed on top of the pile of rocks, Yang Guo waved out the bamboo stick to his leg. Fawangâs weapon was short and couldnât be used to protect all of his body; he could only drop down back to the ground and sweep out his wheel to counterattack.
After another ten or so moves, the sky had darkened, he was surrounded by rocks everywhere; the formation seemed to give off an eerie air. Even someone as bold as he couldnât stop himself from being slightly frightened, suddenly his mind lit up; he had a plan.
His left leg lifted up, a twenty plus kilo (44lb) stone was lifted in the air and sent flying. His right leg came out and another large stone went flying. He darted around, his legs kept on kicking out, the rocks collided with each other and sparks flew. In a flash, the formation had been broken. Huang Rong, Yang Guo and the others were extremely shocked by this and they had to keep on moving to avoid the rocks falling from the sky.
If Jinlun Fawang just wanted to leave the formation it couldnât be easier, but he turned defense into attack and his left palm came searching out to capture Huang Rong. Yang Guo sent the tip of the stick towards his back, Fawang swerved his iron wheel and repelled it; however, his left palm had hung onto Huang Rongâs shoulder. If she leapt back she could have avoided this but she heard a urgent gust of wind coming down, a large rock was smashing down behind her at that time, she could only use the âGreat Trapping Handâ to reverse his grab and hooked onto his left wrist.
Jinlun Fawang said, âGood!â He let her hook his left wrist and waited for her to use force to fling him away; he suddenly circulated his strength and pulled her towards him.
If it was any other time, Huang Rong could have circulated her internal energy and escaped from this pull, but right now she didnât have sufficient internal energy, she called out, âAi ya!â and fell.
Yang Guo was extremely alarmed; he threw away any care for his life and threw himself forward, grabbing Jinlun Fawangâs legs. The two of them started to fall.
Jinlun Fawangâs martial arts were much higher than his, before they hit the ground, his right palm had come waving out towards Yang Guoâs chest. Yang Guo quickly stretched out his left arm to block it; a âpaiâ sound was heard as their palms struck. Yang Guo felt blood surging upwards from his chest; his body flew away like a rock.
Just at this time, the last remaining rock fell down fiercely from the sky; a âpengâ sound was heard as it struck Jinlun Fawang on the back.
It was an extremely heavy collision, even if Jinlun Fawangâs internal energy were higher, he would not be able to take it, though he circulated his internal energy to divert the rock away, his body wobbled a few times and he eventually fell forward onto the ground.
In a short period of time, the formation had been broken and stones had rained down. Huang Rong, Jinlun Fawang and Yang Guo were all on the ground injured.
