That's it, you forced me to show how bad the LOCH period Greats are with quotes.
Btw. 10 feet ~ 1 zhang = 3.3 meters.
Du Nan (the weakest Du Monk in HSDS) 当下拚得一掌,便向后退出半步,拚到十余掌后,已退到
丈许之外。哪知“须弥山掌”乃少林派七十二绝艺之一,渡难在这掌法上浸淫数十载,威力实是非同小可, In this Du nan attacked a bit farther than 10 feet.
This was in LOCH times of H7G: 洪七公将降龙十八掌使将开来,掌风扫到
一丈开外,郭靖虽有铁萧,又哪能近身还击? H7G was also shown here to hit a bit farther than 10 feet.
Based on this, I dare to say that H7G during LOCH period is ~ 1 Du Monk of HSDS period.
And we know ZWJ is not weaker than all 3 Du monks combined. 张无忌的内劲之强,并不输与三僧联手. So..... that means ZWJ is ~ or > than 3 Greats combined of LOCH period (WCY can't be one of them). So yes, ZWJ can beat 2 Greats of LOCH period like toys.
And HYS had to use pebble in the end because it was fired from too far away. Even Sweeper Monk can't fire from that distance. 树林离他尚有
百余步,但这粒小石子不知由何神力奇劲激发,形体虽小,破空之声却响亮异常,对准面门疾射而来。法王举银轮一挡, 拍的一响,小石子撞在轮上,登时碎成数十粒,四下飞溅,脸上也溅到了两粒,虽然石粒微细,伤他不得,却也隐 隐生疼。法王又是一惊:“这粒小石子从如此远处射来,竟撞得我轮子晃动,此人功力之强,决不在那老和尚和老 顽童之下,怎地天下竟有如许高手?” So yeah... of course HYS had to use pebbles.
