The Return of the Condor Heroes

In his advanced age he left the affairs of his sect to his successors and travelled the world in search of culinary delights. On Mt. Hua he met Yang Guo and was impressed by the young man's integrity. Together they met Yang Guo's adopted father, the insane Western Venom, Ouyang Feng, one of the five greats. Ouyang Feng ( Traditional Chinese: 歐陽鋒 is a fictional character in Jinyong 's The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes The two old rivals fought each other for four days, and only Yang Guo's timely interruptions with food kept things from escalating too far. Eventually the old animosity proved too much, and the two Champions matched their internal energies directly for a full day, coming to another standstill.

Exhausted, both fighters were too proud to back down, each claiming that he still had many techniques left to defeat the other. For three days, they used Yang Guo as their proxy, each instructing him in their respective skills and making the budding martial artist demonstrate the technique to his opponent. Thus Hong Qigong would teach Yang Guo a stance from his Dog Beating Stick and Ouyang Feng would teach Yang Guo to counter with his own staff art. Hong Qigong seemed to have won this odd duel when he unleashed his final Dog Beating Stick stance: No Dogs Under Heaven.

Eventually Hong Qigong was defeated by Ouyang Feng, who spent a night to think of a counter move. Upon seeing his ultimate technique countered, Hong Qigong laughed uproariously and embraced his enemy in defeat, calling Ouyang Feng by his true name. The two had been the most bitter of foes for their entire lives; with this final duel, they embraced one another, laughing, and died. He was then buried side by side on Mt. Hua by Yang Guo. It was observed by Yang Guo that Hong Qigong would have won the duel as in real combat, Ouyang Feng would not have had the time to ponder and create a counter.
