    Default Which wuxia hero had the best danger sense?

    Wuxia heroes, especially the more experienced ones, have a sort of "sixth sense" for danger. They can sense danger around them and prepare for it before most people would even be aware of any threat.

    Which wuxia heroes have the best danger sense? I'm guessing that the best must be LUK SIU FUNG's Fa Mun Lau, who despite being blind, seemed to have enhanced other senses to compensate (sort of like wuxia's answer to the superhero Daredevil). The guy could hear snowflakes falling on a rooftop, for goodness' sakes.

    Sweeper Monk. He keeps a constant internal energy wall around him.

    Thats not a sixth sense, thats just paranoia.

    I've got paranoia too, but you don't see me erecting a permanent chi shield around myself.

    I just get by with that tinfoil hat that Ren Wo Xing gave me a few months ago.

    Xie Xun too. His other senses became sharper despite being blind.

    But that's not really a sixth sense. Like you said, his other senses are just enhanced. I guess a lot of it would involve luck. WXB seems to get out of a lot of messes.

    Reviving this older thread to say that among the Jin Yong heroes, it's probably Kiu Fung. It was almost *impossible* to get the drop on this guy. He had a danger sense that was uncanny. Many tried to sneak-attack or backstab him, but all failed. He saw through every sneak attack and trap thrown at him.

    Huang Yaoshi probably due to his Qi Men Dun Jia and divination abilities?

    Yup. And this was at a time when he knew he was about to abscond and should have been more alert.
