He leaves behind Mu Nianci and their unborn son, whom Guo Jing names " Yang Guo". On the other hand, Yang Kang dies from poisoning after attempting to kill Huang Rong with a palm strike, but ends up hitting her spiked soft armour, which was accidentally stained with poison. Guo Jing is unwilling to aid the Mongols in attacking his native land so he leaves them and returns to the Song Empire to helps his fellow Han people counter the impending Mongol invasion. With Guo Jing's assistance, the Mongols conquers the Jin Empire and subsequently turn their attention towards the Song Empire. His treachery is slowly unveiled throughout the novel in the encounters he has with Guo Jing and Huang Rong. Yang Kang refuses to acknowledge his Han ethnicity and is strongly driven to acquire wealth, fame and glory. Meanwhile, Yang Kang plots with the Jurchens to conquer his native land, the Song Empire. Guo Jing also discovers who was behind the death of his father. During their adventures, both Guo Jing and Huang Rong learn various martial arts techniques from the most powerful martial artists in wulin at that time. The main plot follows Guo Jing and Huang Rong's adventures and their encounters with the "Five Greats", the five most powerful martial artists in the wulin (martial artists' community). They eventually meet each other and their respective lovers, Huang Rong and Mu Nianci. In contrast, Yang Kang is clever, but scheming and treacherous. Guo Jing is honest, loyal and righteous, but slow-witted. Although he is mentored by Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen School, he also secretly learns the evil "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" technique from Mei Chaofeng. She gives birth to a son, Yang Kang, who is raised as a Jurchen nobleman. On the other hand, a pregnant Bao Xiruo captured by Wanyan Honglie, believing her husband to be dead agrees to marry Wanyan Honglie. ![]() The Chinese title of the novel is derived from an incident in Guo Jing's youth when he shot two eagles with a single arrow. He learns martial arts from the "Seven Freaks of Jiangnan" and Ma Yu of the Quanzhen School, as well as archery skills from Jebe. Guo Xiaotian's pregnant wife, Li Ping, wanders into Mongolia, where she gives birth to their son, Guo Jing, who grows up in Mongolia under the care of Genghis Khan. Guo Xiaotian is killed while Yang Tiexin goes missing. Smitten by Bao Xirou's beauty Wanyan Honglie later sends his troops to attack Yang Tiexin and Guo Xiaotian's village. One day, Yang Tiexin's wife, Bao Xiruo, saves a wounded Jurchen warrior, who turns out to be Wanyan Honglie, the sixth prince of the Jin Empire. Yang Tiexin and Guo Xiaotian, a pair of sworn brothers, pledge that their unborn children will become either sworn siblings (if both are of the same sex) or a married couple (if they are of opposite sexes). The story is set in China during the wars between the Jurchen-led Jin Empire and the predominantly ethnic Han Song Empire. The English title is imprecise since neither species of the condor, the Andean condor and Californian condor, is native to China. Jin Yong revised the novel twice, first in the 1970s and later in the 2000s. ![]() It was first serialised between 1 January 1957 and in Hong Kong Commercial Daily.
