    Default Best instances of "trash-talking" in wuxia?

    Trash-talking is often a part of modern sports...wherein the athletes compete with their wits and their mouths as much as they do with their physical prowess, often with hilarious results. Are there similar instances of trash-talking in wuxia, wherein opponents verbally taunt each other while they are fighting? What are the best examples of this?

    Wei Xiaobao is supposed to be a supreme trash talker.

    I just got done reading Smiling Proud Wanderer again and to me the part where at Shaolin there were 3 duels to determine if Ren Ying Ying and Ren Wo Xing could leave. A lot of nasty trash talking between Ren Wo Xing and the orthodox wulin leaders.

    Yeung Gor and Fok Do also did a fair amount of trash-talking in their joust at the Heroes' Conference at Luk Manor.
