In 1960, Xiong published his first wuxia novel, Cangqiong Shenjian (苍穹神剑) under the pen name "Gu Long". From 1960 to 1961, Xiong published eight novels but did not achieve the results he desired. He moved to Ruifang Town (瑞芳镇) and lived there for three years, after which he changed his perspective, with a new writing style. Between 1967 and the end of the 1970s, Xiong rose to prominence in the annals of modern wuxia fiction for his works. As the sole representative of excellence in the wuxia genre from Taiwan for an entire decade, Xiong was named along with Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng
as the "three legs of the tripod of wuxia".
In his university days, Xiong lived together with a dance hostess named Zheng Yuexia (鄭月霞) and they had a son called Zheng Xiaolong (鄭小龍).

and Friedrich Nietzsche
. His novels are usually made up of short sentences and paragraphs, and mostly dialogues between characters like a play script.
In contrast with Xiong, other writers such as Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng
take the "orthodox" route in writing wuxia fiction, incorporating Chinese history, culture and philosophical ideas in their works to win the hearts of readers. Initially, Xiong intended to follow them, but he changed his decision after exposure to Western works such as the James Bond
series and The Godfather
novels. The influence of these works, which relied on the idiosyncrasies of human life, razor-sharp wit, poetic philosophies, mysterious plots and spine-tingling thrills to achieve success, enabled Xiong to come up with a unique way of writing.
