[Ren Wo Xing]

He shiwo, perhaps?

There you go! That's the name/pseudonym I was looking for. Yes, He Shiwo, the pseudonym of Huo Du; his name literally means, "I am my own master". He defeated two beggar clan leaders.

My guess

13. Evil#1?

Correct! In his chess game, he refused to take a handicap, but also refused to allow Huang Mei to take a handicap, leading the latter to remark that Yanqing was a formidable opponent indeed. Sorry flamer, The One got it in before you!

[Ren Wo Xing]

Just a guess, Dongfang Bubai?

LOL!!!!!! That took it in a direction where I wasn't thinking, haha. But no, that's not it.

8) sounds like that guy that loved A Zi from DGSD

I'm probably wrong.

RWX, you're pretty good at writing riddles.

Nope, sorry; it was He Shiwo, aka Huo Du, as was solved by ChanceEncounter. Thanks, I hope you're having fun.

[Ren Wo Xing]

And you can make a good claim for Di Yun in #9, since he learned Shenzhaojing after he hung himself. And 11 wouldn't happen to be 9YBGZ, would it?

Sorry, not Di Yun. The object which was destroyed is far more mundane than 'life', or something like that.

11 is not 9YBGZ either; pay attention to the last two lines,

"Your fate shall be worse than death!
Too vicious by far, a real man restricted my usage."

The very last line in particular is the biggest clue.

[duguxiaojing]

It's the wudang claw skill (forgot its name)...Zhang Zun Yun= Z3F ...castration worse than death?

[Ren Wo Xing]

What skill are you referring to? Give me a name

9)

What others cherished and protected,
I destroyed. And in doing so,
Learned the top internal energy skill of my era.
Who am I?

Duan Yu?

Duan Yu?

Nope. Sorry. Duan Yu didn't 'destroy' something which others 'cherished'; he just kowtowed a lot

[Han Solo]

With question 9, the martial arts that it is hinting is obviously KHBB.

The thing is that DFBB is not the only person learning this.

[Ren Wo Xing]

Nope. It is not KHBD. Not even close. Not even the same book. I'm not sure I would classify KHBD as the top internal energy manuscript in its era, either. YJJ should take that.

Lol he "destroyed" other people's internal energy, which they cherished and protected... and by doing so he learned the greatest internal art of his age...

[jadebunny9]

I'll take a shot.........is it Zhang Wuji?

[Ren Wo Xing]

Lol he "destroyed" other people's internal energy, which they cherished and protected... and by doing so he learned the greatest internal art of his age...

It's not as much of a stretch as that. Besides, Duan Yu learned Beiming, and THEN drained the other guys internal energy.

Not Zhang Wuji either.

wasnt I right then?

[Ren Wo Xing]

wasnt I right then?

You had the right person, but not the right answer.

[flamer]

11)

Beware my claws, men,
These are not the claws of a kitten!
If you are not wary,
Your fate shall be worse than death!
Too vicious by far, a real man restricted my usage.
What am I?

Is it this one?
俞莲舟打了个突，说道：“‘虎爪绝户手’？今日是师父大喜的日子，使这门杀
手，太狠毒了罢？”
Used by Yu Lianzhou... translates to... Tiger Claws etc etc...

[Ren Wo Xing]

Ding ding ding! Yes, it is indeed the "Progeny Destroying Tiger Claws," so named because supposedly every stance was designed to castrate/destroy genitalia. Zhang Sanfeng (a 'real man') admitted it was a supremely powerful art, but restricted its usage because of its viciousness.

Few know me,
Though many know the one who uses me.
My very name exemplifies the purpose of swordsmanship;
To kill other men!
What am I?

夺命十三剑 of Yan 13?

[Ren Wo Xing]

2, 4, 9, 15, and 17 remain!

夺命十三剑 of Yan 13?

Sorry. Although the "Life Stealing Thirteen Swords" is indeed a close choice, there is one even better. Yan 13 isn't well known enough, the Life Stealing 13 Swords isn't obscure enough...and the martial arts I have in question has a name which even better suits this riddle than the Life Stealing Thirteen Swords.
