Portraying 6 Mak Divine Swords and 1 Yeung Finger Technique in wuxia adaptations.

[Banh Mi]

LMSJ was kept at Tian Long temple in Dali.

[Ren Wo Xing]

It actually pokes holes in the opponent's body. e.g. The one occasion when he fired all six swords simultaneously at a Xixia warrior:

見那黃鬍子仰天躺在地下，胸口小腹的六個小孔之中鮮血直噴

...saw that yellow-bearded man fall backwards flat to the ground, blood spraying straight up from the six little holes in his chest and abdomen...

Right, but the hole poking property seems to be present in nearly all finger-based arts in DGSD, including even Murong Bo's execution of Vajra Finger. So that's not unique.

Is there any textual evidence for cutting/slicing damage caused by the 'swords'?

[PJ]

Theoretically, if JMZ can execute Wood Ignition Sabre with LDA, it should be just as deadly as 6MSJ.

Unfortunately, 6MSJ was seen only a few times in practice.

I was rereading DGSD and found this:

段誉身处慕容复足底，突见父亲口中鲜血直喷，慕容复第二掌又将击出，心下大急，右手食指向他急指，叫道：“ 你敢打我爹爹？”情急之下，内力自然而然从食指中涌出，正是“六脉神剑”中“商阳剑”的一招，嗤的一声响， 慕容复一只衣袖已被无形剑切下，跟着剑气与慕容复的掌力一撞。慕容复只感手臂一阵酸麻，大吃一惊，急忙向后跃开。段誉身得自由，一骨碌翻 身站起，左手小指点出，一抬“少泽剑”又向他刺去。慕容复忙展开左袖迎敌，嗤嗤两剑，左手袖子又已被剑气切 去。邓百川叫道：“公子小心，这是无形剑气，用兵刃吧？”拔剑出鞘，倒转剑柄，向慕容复掷去。
