I wonder if there is any character or characters from WuxiaMaster's Ultimate Ranks who has a chance to force the Demonic Swordsman to defend just once.
What would happen if he was forced to defend even for once?
Since DGKB's offensive skills are legendary, Jinyong never mentioned about his defensive skillsets.
I would wonder he developed his defensive skills during his first 30 years of his life before he became truely undefeatable.
===> Please mention the character and how he/she could force DGKB to be on the defensive.

The Tomb of Swords
Dugu Qiubai wrote about himself (this is what Yang Guo read at the Dugu's Tomb):
"Having roamed the martial arts world for more than thirty years, I have killed all my villainous foes and defeated all heroic champions, under Heaven there's no one who can be my equal. Without any other choice, I could only retreat and live in seclusion in this deep valley, with a condor as my companion. Alas, throughout my life I searched for a match in vain. Unbearable loneliness is my destiny. ~Demonic Swordman Dugu Qiubai"
In his Sword Tomb, it is stated:
"The Demonic Swordsman Dugu Qiubai has become the invincible and unchallenged warrior under Heaven, he therefore buried his swords here. Alas, the heroes of the realm bowed down before me, now my long sword is of no use anymore... the agony!"
The first sword
"(My First Sword) was so sharp, strong and fierce that none may withstand it. With this sword, I used to strive for mastery against all the heroes of the Northern Plains during my teenage years."
The second sword
"(My Second Sword) was violet in hue and flexible in movement. I used it in my twenties, and with it I mistakenly wounded righteous men. It turned out to be a Weapon of Doom which caused me endless remorse, so I cast it into a deep canyon."
The third sword
"(My Third Sword) was heavy and blunt. The uttermost cunning is based on simplicity. With it's help, I roamed the entire Empire under Heaven unopposed in my thirties."
The fourth sword
"After the age of forty, I am no longer hampered by any weaponry. Grass, trees, bamboos and rocks can all be my swords. Since then I have developed my skills even further, so that gradually I am becoming able to win the battle without reaching for arms."
