Speculative scenario: Sai Mun Chui Sheut stalks East Heretic Wong Yerk See

[Ken Cheng]

In a hypothetical amalgamated Jin Yong/Gu Long universe, Sai Mun Chui Sheut (from the last LUK SIU FUNG novel, after he has mastered swordsmanship to a "no sword" level) stalks East Heretic Wong Yerk See (ROCH era) through the hinterlands, bent on killing the Lord of Peach Blossom Island (the way Sai Mun does).

Both are masters of martial arts, naturally, but both are also masters of traps, formations, and other arts.

How does this one go?

Will East Heretic die from a sword wound on his throat, or does Sai Mun fall to the Divine Finger Snap?

HYS knows about this beforehand? Simon Snowblower gets lost in a formation and dies of starvation. HYS is matchless in that area.

In the Jin Yong universe, Wong Yerk See is peerless in this skill, but SMCS is no slouch in this area either. In THE HAUNTED VILLA saga, SMCS succeeded in getting through the labyrinth-like forest that hid the Haunted Valley...something that most others (including Luk Siu Fung) could not do without a guide.

That's why this specific scenario is so fun: SMCS's own set of skills neutralizes many of WYS's usual advantages.

SMCS would manage to get out of HYS' traps, but only to find another waiting.

HYS won't kill SMCS, as this would likely appear to be fun for him. Remember, he's a nutcase who gave the Ouyangs the layout to his Peach Blossom Island.
