I think I know what 4) is as well

The first thing I thought when I read 4.) was Na Ja, but he's not a JY character

[bliss]

3) Yang Dingtian.
5) Duo Ming Lian Huan San Xian Jian (Yue Buqun's sword skill)
10) Kuang Feng Kuai Jian!

Do I sense some love for the Huashan Sword-Sect here? Two of the sword-branches skills!



Okay, no more, I just took some of what I thought would be the hardest ones

*DING DING* nice job, especially on getting Kuang Feng Kuai Jian, I thought that one was especially ambiguous.

Damm, this is hard but fun. Super hard if your Chinese is weak, like me

Yea .. I guess these require a certain level of Chinese comprehension.

Recap of the correct answers so far:

1. Ximen Chuixue - If he's not from the east, then he's from the west (Xi), he had a habit of bathing and fasting before he killed.

3. Yang Dingtian - Ding Tian roughly translates to holding up the heavens. Atlas was a mythical Greek god who held up the world. Yang Dingtian's wife loved Cheng Kun most but chose to die with him.

5. Duo Ming Lian Huan San Xian Jian - literal translation is life snatching continuous three fairies/deities sword.

6. Jing Kang - name of the era/reign of the captured Emperor that Qiu Chuji named Guo Jing and Yang Kang after.

7. Shi Huolong - Beggar Union Chief in Yitian Tulong Ji

10. Kuang Feng Kuai Jian - literal translation is Fierce Winds Quick Sword, Feng Buping was saving this technique to use against Zuo Lengchan after he usurped the leadership of Huashan to challenge for the seat of the Five Peaks Alliance.

So, 2, 4, 8, 9 still left.

Hi all, I didn't read beyond the first post, so I don't know if anyone has answered this question.
No 7 is Shi Huolong!

Edit: Arrggh! Missed it by minutes!

Nope ... try again! Hmm I thought this one would be one of the easier ones ... a small hint, the first line refers to the character's name, the second line relates to the character's special skill.
