Inside the formation were the extremely shocked Wu brothers and Guo Fu; outside the formation were Da'erba and the Mongolian warriors. They dashed forward to rescue Fawang. Da'erba had terrifying strength, there were many skilled fighters within the crowd of Mongolian warriors; how could Guo Fu and the Wu brothers fight them off?
Suddenly a swaying Jinlun Fawang stood up and waved his iron wheel, the 'qiang lang lang' sounds were soul disturbing, his face was pale. He laughed out at the sky yet his laugh was filled with a cold and mournful feeling; the band of people all looked at each other startled and stopped their advance.
Jinlun Fawang hissed, "I have never suffered even half an injury whilst in battle in my entire life; today I actually injured myself." He stretched out his hand and grabbed Huang Rong's back.
Yang Guo's chest was severely injured by Jinlun Fawang's palm, he didn't have any strength to stand up and crawled across the ground; when he saw Huang Rong in danger he again swept out his stick to repel this grab. But as soon as he used any strength, he spat out a pool of blood.
Huang Rong said mournfully, "Guo'er, we give in, don't fight on, take care of yourself."
Guo Fu raised her long sword and protected her mother.
Yang Guo quietly said, "Sister Fu, run away quickly, it's important to tell your father about this."
Guo Fu's mind was in a mess, she knew her martial arts were poor but how could she leave her mother?
Jinlun Fawang swung his iron wheel slightly and the wheel collided with Guo Fu's sword, a 'dang' sound was heard and a white light glimmered, the sword flew up into the air and landed in the forest.
Jinlun Fawang was about to push her out of the way and grab Huang Rong when suddenly a girl's voice from behind said, "Wait!"
A blue green flash leapt out of the forest. She stretched out her hand to catch the sword and hurried to the middle of the pile of rocks.
Jinlun Fawang saw that her face was extremely terrifying; it looked three parts human and seven parts ghost, he has never seen such a strange face before in his life. He couldn't stop himself from being startled and said, "Who are you?"
The young girl didn't answer and pushed a rock in between Jinlun Fawang and Huang Rong. She said, "You're the famous Jinlun Fawang?" Her face was ugly but her voice was gentle and tender.
Fawang said, "Correct, what is your name?"
The girl replied, "I'm a nameless young girl, you won't know me." As she said this, she moved another slab of stone three inches.
The sun had gone down long ago; the forest was full of darkness. Jinlun Fawang's mind lit up and shouted, "What are you doing?" He was about to stop the girl from moving the stones when she suddenly called out, "The Horned Wooden Dragon Changes into the Overbearing Golden Dragon!"
Guo Fu and the Wu brothers were startled and they all pondered, "How does she know the changes of the formation?" But they heard her voice had a commanding tone and immediately started to move the rocks according to her instructions. Four, fives stones were moved, the scattered formation changed again.
Jinlun Fawang was alarmed and angry, he shouted, "Little girl, you dare to come and mess things around!"
He just heard her say, "The Moon Fox Turns into the Day Rabbit, the Crow of the Final Moon Shifts into the Wooden Wolf of 'Kui', Bat of the Earth Enters the Room of the Fire Pig." All the things that she called out were the twenty-eight positions of 'su'. Guo Fu and the Wu brothers felt that the way she led the formation was exactly the way that Huang Rong did while she led formations. They were delighted and used all their efforts in moving the rocks; they saw that they were about to trap Jinlun Fawang in the formation again.
Jinlun Fawang had circulated his internal energy with force to protect himself from the wound from the collision with the rock; though the injury didn't react for now, he actually had a serious internal injury. He had no way to start kicking the stones again. He knew that in just a little while he would be trapped in the stone formation again; his disciple Da'erba was brave but he doesn't understand the formation and so it would be difficult for him to help. He saw that Huang Rong was picking herself up, struggling to stand upright; all he needed to do was take a few steps forward and he would be able to capture her. But saving himself was more important right now; he picked up his iron wheel and sent an attack towards Wu Xiuwen's head.
After he suffered the injury his arms had no strength; he was forcing himself to move the iron wheel. If Wu Xiuwen had a sword, he would be able to knock the wheel out of his hands. But Fawang was surrounded by a powerful air; though the stance had no force behind it, it still looked like the real thing. How could Wu Xiuwen dare to take this attack; he immediately withdrew back into the formation.
Jinlun Fawang slowly walked out of the formation and stood there in a daze for a while thinking, "I'm afraid that I'll never get an opportunity as good as this again. Could it be that heaven is protecting the Song and stopping me from succeeding? The Wulin of the central plain have many able people; these few youngsters are already versed in both the arts and martial arts. Just they alone make strong opponents; our Mongolian and Tibetan warriors pale by comparison." He held his chest and sighed. He turned around and walked away. Ten or so steps later, a 'qiang lang lang' sound was heard; the wheel had fallen to the ground as he struggled to stay up.
Da'erba was alarmed and called out, "Master!" He dashed over and held him up and said, "Master, are you alright?" Fawang frowned and didn't reply, he stretched out his arm and leaned on his shoulder and quietly said, "What a pity! What a pity! Let's go!" A Mongolian warrior led a horse over. Due to his injury, Jinlun Fawang had no strength to pull himself up on the horse. Da'erba used his left palm and pushed his master's waist and helped him up on the horse. They left heading east.
The girl in blue green slowly walked towards Yang Guo. She stopped and bent down to examine his face, wanting to see how seriously injured he was. It was now deep into the night; things couldn't be seen clearly even if it was just a distance of one inch away from your face. She went up to Yang Guo's face and saw that his eyes were open wide, seemingly in a trance; his cheeks were red and his breathing rapid, it appeared that his injury was not light.
In this blurry state, all he saw was a pair of soft and gentle eyes in front of his face, like the way Xiao Longnu's eyes appeared when she looked at him. It was soft and gentle, understanding and caring, he opened his arms and grabbed the girl and called out, "Gu Gu, Guo'er is hurt, don't leave me."
The girl in blue green was embarrassed and flustered, she struggled slightly. Yang Guo's chest immediately suffered a flash of pain and he couldn't stop himself from calling out 'ai ya!"
The girl didn't dare to struggle and quietly said, "I'm not your Gu Gu; let me go."
Yang Guo stared at her eyes and pleaded, "Gu Gu, don't leave me… I'm… I'm… I'm your Guo'er."
