    Default Most impressive instance of UA: Unretractable Attack

    It is currently my belief that SWORD GOD performed the most impressive instance of Unretractable Attack of all time, by thrusting a delicate blade one inch deep into a rock-hard granite stone.

    Generally, UAs are considered an embarrassment, but SWORD GOD's UA actually evoked a massive cheer from the crowd of 1000+ experts. The result speaks for the feat.

    Another notable UA is the one in LOCH where Guo Jing fired a LDA at Huang Yaoshi. Huang Yaoshi turned his body to avoid the attack, but Guo Jing was unable to stop, thus tumbling down the stairs.

    Can you think of another UA that could surpass the impressiveness of SWORD GOD's cheer-inducing UA?

    What about Yin 13's infamous "I have to kill something, so I'll kill myself" sword thrust?

    oh yeah, forgot to mention: Jin Yong only

    But that is a good one. Actually, it's the Ultimate one. But alas, Gu Long is just full of weird ideas like that.

    This isn't an attack, but it's a move, and the description may encourage PJ a tad. The protagonist is the Little Red Horse, in chapter 22 of ROCH.

    The city gate was only opened a few feet and the drawbridge had yet to
    touch the ground when Xiao Longnu had made her way out. After one slap,
    the gallant red horse flew over the moat spectacularly. The on looking
    guards all cheered at the spectacle.

    It doesn't seem like she/it tried to retract anything?

    On the other hand, Shui Dai's horse in A Deadly Secret definitely demonstrated UG: Unretractable Gallop.

    Ah Zhu demonstrated incredible defensive capabilities when she withstood a full blast of Xiao Feng's XL18Z despite the lack of any substantial martial arts. Especially if it's the, I think DGSD 2003 version where the palm manifested as water dragons or something.

    Just to clarify, when I say Unretractable, I meant when the user tried to retract the stance but failed.
