Battle Royale: 2 deficient protagonists

[PJ]

Let's pit 2 main characters in a death match. Both protagonists leave a lot to be desired in terms of martial arts.

It is the gut-arresting battle of Linghu "defeated by an old goon who is nowhere near my girlfriend's martial arts level" Chong v.s. Duan "Never learned martial arts from a pro and don't know how to fight" Yu.

Who would win?

Conditions:
-Linghu Chong is to fight WITH ONE SWORD. If it breaks, he doesn't get another one.
-Duan Yu is to be assessed at the end of DGSD, assuming he cannot always execute 6MSJ as his heart desires, but sometimes it works.

[Candide]

Duan Yu, without a doubt. LHC's qing-gong is rubbish, so Duan Yu can simply do what he did all the time in the novel: run rings around LHC with his LBWB then try to shoot at him with his 6MSJ which will work at least 1 out of 10 tries. Can't see LHC lasting very long.

[Han Solo]

DY for the win.

The level of DY's internal energy, qing gong, internal energy absorbing techniques are all higher than LHC.

LHC as in the novel is BAD without any sword - but the true swordsman will tell you that with sword in the heart, who needs sword?

It is interesting to note that a person of SWORD GOD's calibre could easily inflict a wound on Duan Yu. At the time Duan Yu hadn't absorbed Jiumozhi yet, but he still had more internal energy than Jiu, Xiao Feng, or Murong Bo. Even after he absorbed Jiu his internal energy showed no sign of an auto-repel function. His lightness kung fu is good but he's a crap fighter. Sometimes he even forgets to run, like when Murong Fu attacked him with a judge brush, he just panicked and yelled "Help!"

So, if the "30 people-blinding" Missile-Breaking Stance of Dugu 9 Swords works as advertised (able to neutralize thousands of projectiles at once), Linghu Chong might have a chance at IEW (Inflicting External Wounds) on Duan Yu.

Of course, who needs a sword when you're dead, huh?

[Ren Wo Xing]

LHC would win.

[Exodus]

DY is way too powerful for LHC to handle 1 of DY's 6msj is enough to kill LHC instantly

i was about to say something clever and witty, but then i caught sight of your avatar and all rational thought left me.

cats are a beautiful thing.

[odbayarb2000]

I think Duan Yu is too much for LCH.

By the way, I hate cats. Even fear cats.

[ChronoReverse]

Can DY actually fight? Having an unbreakable and unstoppable sword is useless if LHC doesn't have to stop or break his opponent's weapon to stab them.

[Suet Seung]

Hmm I wouldn't be surprised if the two got together and talked about their girlfriend(or wife) and drink wine together. Since DY never actually fights anyone unless someone does something like MRF did. And I believe Duan Yu would be the first to get overly drunk if he isn't using 6MSJ trick.

[Han Solo]

True.

Btw, your avatar- i like it.

Stop staring at my chest, people. It's rude.

Yes, all those fumbles of Duan Yu are true. But that was the Duan Yu from Chapter 1 to 48. The chapter 49 to 50 Duan Yu showed amazing feats which were totally out-of-character (referring to his cap 1 to 48 character that is).

I did a long post about it ages ago but a short summary would be :

1. Wielding a sabre with pin-point accuracy and _confidence_. Duan Yu, a Sabre and proficiency in its use?!?

2. Able to string together a chain of flying kicks. Duan Yu and flying kicks?!!?

3. Able to respond to a full power sneak attack by XIAO FENG by intercepting with his PALM!??! Duan Yu using palms?!?!

All 3 feats would be unimaginable for the Duan Yu in the earlier chapters.

Nice observation. I've never thought of that.

If that was his standard by the end of DGSD, LHC will probably lose. If DY succeeds in his 6MSJ, LHC will stand no chance. DY's palm attacks probably are not to be messed about too.

Interesting points. Can't say anything about #1 and #2 yet, but for #3, I'm sure big brother made sure he didn't let out an attack that would send little brother flying back. And that wasn't a "fight."

It was explicitly stated that the force was tremendous and that it was totally unexpected.

Even if the force was not strong enough to kill DY if it connected, the fact that DY could use a _palm_ to block an incoming LDA is astounding by his earlier standards.

That's true but don't forget that Xiao Feng isn't trying to kill his brothers. He's just trying to keep them busy for a second. He might have used a different strategy if he's trying to kill them. Although it was unexpected, the brothers did see him coming ahead of time.

It's not that impressive that he could block an incoming LDA from his sworn brother who had no intention of harming him. I would like to see him block one from Jiumozhi or Murong Bo. And this time, the attack won't be so friendly.

more than 2x, actually.
