Yang Guo stayed in the valley for three days and three nights. Fortunately, he had brought dry rations with him. There were wild fruits in the valley and white fish in the cold pool, so he didn't have to worry about food.

However, after three days, Xiaolongnu still hadn't appeared, and no matter how unwilling Yang Guo was, he had no choice but to leave the valley.

As Yang Guo passed by the love flower bushes, he thought about how he and Xiaolongnü had been separated for sixteen years. The culprits were undoubtedly the two scoundrels, Zhen Zhibing and Zhao Zhijing, and the love flowers at his feet had also played a significant role. Although the love flowers were beautiful, in Yang Guo's eyes, they were among the most vicious things in the world.

This thing, if left in the world, will cause endless harm. I wonder how many more lovers will be harmed by it. It would be better to destroy it completely, just like it did sixteen years ago.

Without further ado, Yang Guo didn't have enough materials to start a fire, but that didn't matter; the Valley of Heartbreak had enough. In his previous life, Yang Guo had been here more than once or twice, and later even lived here for over a month with the Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang sisters, so he was extremely familiar with the place.

After a few leaps, Yang Guo arrived at the alchemy room in the Valley of Heartbreak. He gathered some charcoal, sulfur, and other ignition materials and was about to return to the love flower bushes when a thought struck him, and he turned to weapons.

As expected, the "Gentleman" and "Lady" swords were still there. Seeing the two swords standing side by side, Yang Guo couldn't help but recall the scene of him and Xiaolongnu combining their swords to fight Gongsun Zhi.

Yang Guo wanted to take the "Gentleman's" sword that he had used before, but then he thought: if he took the "Gentleman's" sword now, wouldn't he be separating the two swords?

Forget it, let's leave it to someone who's meant to be!

Yang Guo scattered tinder around the love flower bushes. Seeing that he still had some left, he threw it all into the bushes, about to set them on fire, when he heard a rough voice coming from afar.

"Who goes there!"

Gongsun He was about to go to sleep when he suddenly felt uneasy. He got up to clear his mind and went for a walk in the valley. He happened to see Yang Guo lighting a fire and punched him without thinking.

Yang Guo used the sound to pinpoint the location. The person was about four or five zhang away from him. Judging from the internal force in the voice, the person was quite skilled and could probably reach him in just a few breaths.

Yang Guo used his internal energy to activate the flint, and after it was ignited, he used the Six Meridians Divine Sword to split it into four pieces, and then used the Finger Flicking Divine Skill to send them to the four corners of the Love Flower Garden from a distance.

At this moment, the opponent's fist was already close to Yang Guo. Yang Guo remained calm and unhurried, and struck out with a palm, using the palm technique he had practiced hard in the raging torrents of the mountains for more than ten years.

Thanks to Duan Yu's Northern Darkness Divine Skill, Yang Guo's internal strength was now much greater than before, making it impossible for ordinary people to withstand his full-force palm strike. Although he had acted hastily and did not use his full strength, the power of his attack was still considerable.

In addition, although the newcomer's attack was heavy, his fist technique was not considered profound. After the two collided, he felt his right arm go numb and his breath became heavy and turbid. He immediately took advantage of the situation and leaped three zhang away. Fearing that Yang Guo would pursue him again, he shouted for help while keeping a close watch.

"I am Gongsun He, the master of the Valley of Heartbreak. Who are you, and why do you wish to be my enemy?"

"I remain true to my name and identity, I am Yang Guo, the Valley Master of Gongsun Valley. This Love Flower is truly harmful; I'm here to eliminate this potential threat for you in advance, lest it bring upon your life!"

No matter how much resentment Yang Guo harbors towards the Valley of Heartbreak, every grievance has its source and every debt its debtor. Even if Yang Guo wanted to settle scores, he should seek out Gongsun Zhi, not his ancestor from a hundred years ago.

Yang Guo knew that he was in the wrong, so he couldn't reveal his identity as a member of the Dali Duan family. In a sense, Yang Guo's response wasn't a lie.

Upon hearing Gongsun He's shouts, many disciples of the Valley of Heartbreak ran towards the love flower bushes, attempting to extinguish the fire that had not yet grown large.

Yang Guo picked up a handful of pebbles from the ground and flicked them with both hands, using his finger-flicking technique to freeze his disciples a dozen steps away from the Love Blossom bushes.

Aside from the love flowers scattered all over the ground, Yang Guo did not intend to implicate the others in the Valley of Heartbreak, so he used the Finger Flicking Divine Skill instead of the more lethal Six Meridian Divine Sword.

More than a dozen disciples were immobilized by Yang Guo's aura, and the remaining disciples of the Valley of Heartbreak also realized that Yang Guo was not someone to be trifled with, so they all hesitated to advance.

Gongsun He accepted the golden saber and black sword handed to him by his disciple. He held the black sword in his right hand and the golden saber in his left, and the two swords crossed with a soft "clang".

"You brat surnamed Yang, you dare to ruin my love flower? You'd better pay with your life!"

Having said that, he leaped to Yang Guo's side, swung his golden saber with his left hand, and with a whoosh, slashed diagonally at Yang Guo.

Yang Guo recognized that the person was using the Yin-Yang Reversal Blade Technique. Yang Guo had fought Gongsun Zhi several times and was very familiar with this skill.

The core principle of this skill is nothing more than the sixteen characters: "A fake knife is not a knife, a fake sword is not a sword, a knife is a knife, and a sword is a sword." The sword moves on the knife and the knife moves on the sword are all tricks. As long as you are not confused, this skill is not too difficult to deal with.

Moreover, Qiu Qianchi, the "Iron Palm Lotus," has not yet arrived at the Valley of Heartbreak, and the current Yin-Yang Reversal Blade Technique has even more flaws than Yang Guo had seen before.

After a dozen or so moves, Yang Guo dodged the black sword and flicked the back of the golden knife with his left hand.

This finger strike employed the skill of the Finger Flicking Divine Art. Gongsun He felt a jolt in his arm, his tiger's mouth went numb, and the black knife flew out uncontrollably.

After exchanging two more blows, Yang Guo deflected the golden knife using the same method.

Yang Guo did not want to hurt anyone, so he pressed his right hand on the other person's Qihai acupoint. Unexpectedly, Gongsun He was unaffected and instead kicked out.

Yang Guo dodged the kick and floated backward, suddenly realizing: he had almost forgotten that the Valley of Heartbreak had a technique for closing acupoints, which was useless against them.

However, this skill is difficult to master but easy to break. Its biggest drawback is that one cannot consume meat. Back then, Qiu Qianchi mixed her own blood into the tea and tricked Gongsun Zhi into drinking it, which allowed her to break his acupoint-sealing skill.

However, Yang Guo is no longer the same as before. Even without Qiu Qianchi's help, Yang Guo is confident that he can break through the opponent's acupoint sealing technique.

As soon as Yang Guo stood still, sixteen disciples of the Valley of Heartbreak rushed over with fishing nets in hand. The sixteen men stood in four directions, with four men holding one net each, and spread it out at the same time to surround Yang Guo.

Yang Guo thought with disdain that the Valley of Heartbreak had only ever used these two tricks over the past hundred years: the Acupoint Sealing Technique, the Yin-Yang Reversal Blade Technique, and now the Fishing Net Formation.

I could break this formation before, and I can break it now.

Yang Guo used the "Heavenly Net Formation" to burst through the gap between two fishing nets with incredible speed. This was a light-body technique of the Ancient Tomb Sect; when mastered, it could allow him to leap up and block eighty-one sparrows that were trying to escape. The disciples of the Valley of Heartbreak, however, could not achieve such swiftness when using nets to trap people.

After breaking through the fishing net formation, Yang Guo went straight for Gongsun He. He struck out with a palm, breaking through the opponent's defense. Then, he pressed his right index finger on the "Giant Bone" acupoint on the opponent's shoulder, activating the power of the One Yang Finger. Gongsun He spat out a mouthful of blood, and half of his body was instantly paralyzed.

No matter how powerful the acupoint-closing technique is, it requires time to circulate the energy. Moreover, the One-Finger Divine Skill is considered the best finger technique in the world. Yang Guo's internal energy is also strong. How could the opponent withstand a single finger strike?

If Yang Guo hadn't been reluctant to kill him, Gongsun He would already be a corpse.

"Master Gongsun, it's Yang Guoqu!"

Before leaving, he used his finger-flicking technique to strike down the remaining sixteen disciples on the spot.

Despite their best efforts to extinguish the fire, the people of Heartbreak Valley could only watch helplessly as the flames, fueled by the wind, grew larger and larger, eventually engulfing the entire Love Flower Grove.
