"White Eyebrows" is a classic work of Mr. Shan Tianfang, who announced a list of martial arts masters of the rivers and lakes at the halfway point of the storytelling, which is composed of fourteen swordsmen and is affectionately called "Jianghu Tianbang" by book friends.
Although the fourteen masters on the list are all top figures in the rivers and lakes, their martial arts levels are not all the same, and they can be roughly divided into six grades according to their strength levels.
In the first gear, Yu and the Martial Sage are the undisputed first people, and his martial arts far surpass his two senior brothers, even if the two join forces, they may not be able to defeat him.
The martial saint originally didn't want to oppose Emei and Bingshan, but because of the arrogant attitude of ** provocation and Bai Yizi, he finally turned against the two senior brothers.
The duel between Yu He and Xue Zhulian was amazing, and it only took twenty rounds to make Xue Zhulian spit blood. Later, Pudu also rushed from Mount Emei, although he besieged with eight masters, but Yu He's two fists were invincible to four hands, and he was finally defeated.
Although the status of the three senior brothers is equal, in terms of martial arts, Yu He is undoubtedly the most powerful existence among the fourteen masters, and he deserves his name.
Pudu and Snow Bamboo Lotus studied under Yu He, but due to the teacher's eccentricity, their martial arts level was slightly inferior to Yu He. Some people think that Snow Bamboo Lotus can't even beat Twenty He, which is too biased.
In Xiao Penglai's conversation, Xia Suiliang interjected and reversed black and white, causing Xue Zhulian to be angry and ready to make a move against her nephew, but Yu He stopped her in time.
Yu He's mental activities revealed the fact that if the second senior brother was allowed to do something to the apprentice, Xia Suiliang would definitely be hit hard.
With Yu He's understanding of his senior brother and **, coupled with his vision as a martial saint, it is enough to prove that Xue Zhulian's martial arts strength is not comparable to Xia Suiliang.
Snow Bamboo Lotus's setting in ** is not so strong at the beginning. The fact that his master Zhuge Yuanying's martial arts were stronger than Xu Liang's teachers Mei Liangzu and Wei Zhen made his ** Jiang Zhao disagree with Xu Liang.
In the chapter of the Lotus View, Zou Rui reported that he was the junior disciple of Xue Zhulian, which further proved the high strength of Xue Zhulian.
Although Fang Shu'an said in the chapter of the Eight Kings that Xue Zhulian was one of the masters invited by Kaifeng Mansion, this seemed to be a lie, because his strength was not enough to compare with Pudu, Yu He and other Jianghu masters.
However, with the development of the plot, Zhuge Yuanying, Zou Rui and others were all set as Xue Zhulian's apprentices, and his strength was gradually improved.
Although Pudu's martial arts showed very little, Shan Lao made it clear that there was only a hair's gap between him and Xue Zhulian's martial arts.
Therefore, although the head of the eighty-one sect and the Fengshang people were on a par with the martial saints in terms of generation and status, their martial arts might not be comparable to that of the junior disciple Xue Zhulian.
Xia Suiliang, Wannian Ancient Buddha, and Bai Yizi are the three clearest of the fourteen masters, and they have all fought against each other, and their strength is extraordinary. However, their status is not determined by force, but by special presence.
Xia Suiliang and Bai Yizi have long intersected, and at first he wanted to worship Pudu as a teacher, but because Pudu had already accepted Bai Yizi, he recommended him to Yu He. Yu He made an exception to promote Xia Suiliang to the top gate, which made the later Golden Lantern Swordsman.
Xia Suiliang and Bai Yizi have faced off many times, although Xia Suiliang is slightly stronger than Bai Yizi in terms of theoretical strength, but he has not been able to distinguish the winner in actual combat.
In the Three Churches showdown, the two engaged in a fierce battle, fighting for a total of 300 rounds, which ended in a draw.
Although Xia Suiliang recovered faster than Bai Yizi after the battle, this was not enough to prove that his strength in actual combat was superior to Bai Yizi.
In the decisive battle of Xiaopenglai Bixia Palace, Xia Suiliang mistakenly thought that his senior brother was captured, so he took Gu Yue and Kunlun monks to besiege Bai Yizi, and finally seriously injured him.
Although Xia Suiliang won a big victory, this did not change the fact that he was equal in strength with Bai Yizi. Therefore, whether it is theoretical strength or actual combat ability, Xia Suiliang and Bai Yizi are both of the same grade, and their strength is infinitely close.
The 10,000-year-old ancient Buddha once fought fiercely with Xia Suiliang Lily, and his strength was equal, and Shan Lao even pointed out that the difference in strength between the two was only a millimeter, which was almost negligible. Therefore, the muttering arhat, who ranks fifth in the world, should also belong to this grade.
Looking at the Golden Lantern Swordsman, the Ten Thousand Year Ancient Buddha and the Little Sword Demon, their martial arts settings are extremely similar to the Xiong Kuohai, Wu Yunzhao, and Wu Tianxi in "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", and their strength is quite close, and there is a clear boundary between the previous level and the next level.
Although Long Yunfeng was in trouble with Xu Liang and Bai Yunrui in the temporary pavilion of Kaifeng Mansion, Tao Fuan showed a very humble attitude, and even in the eyes of Xue Zhulian, Tao Fuan was his son.
However, Shan Lao made it clear that Long Yunfeng's martial arts far surpassed Tao Fu'an.
In this case, when Tao Fuan couldn't convince Long Yunfeng at the last moment, he didn't choose to fight with him alone, but united with several old men to besiege Long Yunfeng.
From here, it seems that Tao Fuan should not be on a par with Long Yunfeng, but then Wang Ape, who ranked after Tao Lu, arrived and went head-to-head with Long Yunfeng, and the result was 30 rounds of no victory, Long Yunfeng saw that he couldn't take advantage, so he could only leave the field with regret.
Although Long Yunfeng's physical strength was consumed at this time, her state was not as good as Wang Ape after the thirtieth year, which meant that Long Yunfeng was at a disadvantage under the same consumption.
If you can still tie with the other party in the case of attrition, then it can be said that Long Yunfeng's strength is above Wang Ape, but it is another matter to lose the battle, we have reason to believe that when the two sides are at their peak, the strength should be equal.
If Wang Ape is Long Yunfeng, then Tao Fuan, who is sandwiched in the middle, has no reason to be worse than Long Yunfeng.
Tao Fuan is not Long Yunfeng's opponent, judging from the actual combat performance, he was given the upper hand by Xia Suiliang after he slapped the Kunlun monk, while Long Yunfeng was injured by Xia Suiliang after he was seriously injured by Gu Yue.
Although Gu Yue's martial arts were stronger than Kunlun Monk's, Tao Fu'an's number of rounds was higher, which showed that his level was roughly the same as Long Yunfeng's. Tao Fuan is good at self-positioning, he understands his own ability, and will never risk taking on a person whose martial arts are above him.
Whether it is the battle of the golden lantern or the siege of Long Yunfeng, he can show this. He is like a weakened version of Pudu, which vividly expresses the concept of "gentlemen do not stand under dangerous walls".
Fifth Grade" - Controversy and Positioning Liu Mu and Xiahou Ren are two controversial people, and their location is difficult to determine. According to the ranking of the heavenly list, Liu Mu ranked tenth, and Xia Houren ranked eleventh, but their performance did not match the ranking.
When Liu Mu beat Xia Suiliang in the group, he only tripped over the Golden Lantern Swordsman, but in the face of the only chance to prove himself, he chose to give up.
In the battle before Xia Suiliang's appearance, Mei Liangzu, Gu Yunfei, Ma Tianshu, and Ma Tianchi died at the hands of Kunlun monks one after another, but Liu Mu was silent.
In the end, Tao Fuan had to appear in advance, which made it impossible to consume the Golden Lantern Swordsman in advance when facing Xia Suiliang, but instead wasted some physical strength. The setting of the White Cloud Swordsman Xiahou Ren is inconsistent.
He made his first appearance in the Three Churches, and in order to rescue his apprentice Bai Yunrui, he fought fiercely with Xia Suiliang, and the result was a decisive battle against Lily.
However, after the announcement of the heavenly list, Xia Houren's military status was rapid, and the two fought again, and Xia Houren could only withstand it for more than 20 rounds.
This makes the final division of Xiahouren to the fifth gear completely the result of abandoning the initial setting and adopting Xiahouren's final military position. The controversy and positioning of the two swordsmen reflect their complexity and uncertainty.
Their performance on stage, although sometimes subject to external interference and pressure, their talent and strength cannot be ignored. Their fates and roles reflect not only the changes of the times and the environment, but also the contradictions and conflicts of human nature.
Fifth grade: Peng Gongliang, Ouyang Zhonghui, and Guyue Monk Although there is a lot of controversy in the rankings, because Peng Gongliang has never appeared, Ouyang Zhonghui's single challenge performance is insufficient, so their status can only be determined according to their rankings, and their strength cannot be analyzed in other ways.
The controversy of Yin Guang ** Shi Gu Yue mainly lies in his character. Although his martial arts can be compared with Xiahouren, because of Xiahouren's image of a generous elder, he was ranked above Gu Yue in the public recommendation of his fellow Jianghu colleagues.
However, judging from the record, Xiahou Ren was able to block the opponent's twenty combinations in the second duel without being defeated, while Gu Yue was crippled after more than twenty combinations.
Although Long Yunfeng only withstood more than thirty times when facing Xia Suiliang, this indirectly showed that Xiahou Ren's martial arts were indeed stronger than Gu Yue.
Therefore, combined with the ranking of the heavenly rankings and their respective performances, I put Gu Yue at the same level as Peng Hai and Ouyang Zhonghui, and was one grade behind Xiahou Ren.
The following is my evaluation and classification of the martial arts strength of the fourteen masters according to the rankings, achievements, and related descriptions of the Heavenly Rankings. This is just my personal opinion and is just for reference.
