Most likable wuxia villains?

[Ken Cheng]

Villains threaten innocent people and heroes, and are not meant to be liked. That said, wuxia writers have often created villains who have likable personalities, if you can set aside the evil deeds they have done. In your opinion, which wuxia villains do you find surprisingly likable?

Duan Yanqing:
- he doesnt like to take advantage of other people (there were a few events where he refused to take the advantage)
- his spirit of life. he became cripple and mute, but how vigorous he try to survive, compare to Wuyazi who sink, is admirable

[wkeej]

Yue Laosan if you consider him to be a "villain".

i like both JLFW and OYF

Interesting choices. I can to an extent understand OYF but JLFW is not a very popular choice.

For myself I like most Gu Long's villains as they are so badass.
