    -Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain

    -Book & Sword

    -A Deadly Secret (Liancheng Jue)

    -Duke of Mount Deer

    -Sword Stained With Royal Blood

    -Blade Dance of the 2 Lovers (Yuanyang Dao)

    -White Horse Neighing in the West Wind

    -Yue Maiden Sword

    Otherwise if I were her I would be pretty upset.

    Never understood why Sword Stained With Royal Blood is a "less discussed novel". It seemed to be well read from where I come from and also does well in TV adaptations...

    Off the cuff, here are some of the better (note: not necessarily TOP) techniques for some of the novels listed:

    -Outer Story of the Flying Fox
    -Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain
    Hu Family Sabre Technique (mostly external IIRC)

    A Deadly Secret (Liancheng Jue)
    Shen Zhao Jing 神照经 (internal; probably the best)
    Blood Sabre Technique (external with some internal foundation; probably no 2)

    Blade Dance of the 2 Lovers (Yuanyang Dao)
    Husband-and-Wife Sabre Technique 夫妻刀法 (external)
    Jin Yong's Ode to Gallantry [侠客行].

    But the last three listed are more like short stories than novels.

    Self reminder - Update blog more often and continue editing/writing for TOV fanfic.

    on topic...zhao ban san wasn't even necessarily the top three fighters in outer story of FF. i doubt taiji can make it to the top three.

    Top 3 powerful kung fu, not the fighters.

    If the Hu family Sabre is going to be counted, then I think it's only fair that the Miao family sword is also counted, since there wasn't much to separate the two.

    Zhao Ban Shan might not have been one of the best fighters in the novel, but he had one of the most awesome scenes in that burning mansion - perhaps it made him look scarier than he really was. It was probably just the really weak opposition.

    The Huagumianzhang in Duke of Mount Deer looked pretty powerful, whereas Liu Chengfeng's Taijijian in Linked Cities was good enough to go head to head with Blood Sabre without losing an inch.

    So basically, Taiji is pretty much a top 3 kung fu in every novel after ROCH

    Duke Mount Deer have Fa Grut Ming Palm/Bone melting palms and Wei Siu Bo learn something that he could gain agility or speed similar to Duan Yu.
