5 best fighters of jinyong?

[PJ]

Indeed, Ah Qing and Xuzhu/Duan Yu seem to be rule-transcenders.

I could possibly imagine Duan Yu and Xuzhu getting through a horde of 2000 soldiers. However, Ah Qing's near-mythical description of disarming 2000 soldiers in one swift go remains more impressive to my mind. The description makes me think that she did so with more grace and less effort than Xuzhu/Duan Yu could.

Ok, and what does that prove? That doesn't necessarily put her at top 5, or even top 8.

I would think 'Disarming em all' is more impressive than just weaving thru them (DY) or flinging them out of the way (XZ).

But take away her sword and I suppose Ah Qing wouldn't be able to do it. But then again, how hard is it for her to grab the _first_ soldier's sword eh?

murong longcheng all the way. if someone attacks him he directs the attack back at that person and kill him.

but there is no indication that ah qin knows any martial arts. we just know she is good with the sword, but does she have any qi gong? Does she have any h2h combat skills?

It is self evident that she knows Qi gong... She traveled from her home to the palace w/o being seen or heard. She appeared almost instantaneously at the bedchamber. Also... disarming all the soldiers in the palace would indicate that her internal strength or Qi gong speed... most likely both in combination... allowed her to be effective throughout the palace almost simultaneously.

She was never "taught" swordsmanship or martial arts.
Somehow... she picked up her skills & internal strength through the years while fighting the white ape.

We can assume that she can apply her skills and internal strength through more than just a sword/stick.
