There seems to be broad consensus (I think) that the Sweeper Monk is the most powerful character in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, possibly the entire Jin Yong universe (unless someone wants to make a case for Dugu Qiubai over Sweeper Monk. LOL. Maybe that is a separate topic).
I was wondering if there is any such consensus on who was the second most powerful? There seem to be a lot of contenders like Xiao Feng, Jiumozhi, Tianshan Tonglao, Wuyazi, Murong Bo (Murong Fu's father), Xiao Yuanshan (Xiao Feng's father), Duan Yu and Xuzhu.
Is there a clear winner for the #2 position?
