Among the Ming Sect, Zhang Wuji's martial arts were of course unique. The rest of the high-level figures, martial arts are roughly at the same level, such as the Bright Left and Right Envoys, the Four Great Dharma Kings, and Zhuang Zheng.
But the same level does not mean that the level of martial arts is completely the same, regardless of the difference. There are seven of them, if subdivided, there is still a difference between high and low. For example, on the eve of the Battle of Guangming Peak, Wei Yixiao and the five scattered people went to find Trouble for Yang Xiao, and the two sides moved. Leng Qian had evaluated Yang Xiao as half a chip taller than Wei Yiyi. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Yang Xiaogui is the Ming Sect's Bright Left Envoy, the first person in the Ming Sect under the Sect Leader, and although Wei Yixiao is ranked among the four great Dharma Kings, he is the last, and the status of the four Great Dharma Kings in the Sect is originally under the left and right of the Light, so there is a distinction between Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao, which is most appropriate.
Even Fan Yao, who was also the messenger of light, was slightly worse than Yang Xiao if he analyzed it carefully. When breaking into the King Kong Voldemort Circle, Fan Yao saw that Yang Xiao's moves were complex and exquisite, and he couldn't help but sigh. Jin Yongjia's content in this paragraph is actually to show that Yang Xiao is so lost than Fan Yaogao.
Of course, what everyone often compares is Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng. Although Yin Tianzheng's status was not as good as Yang Xiao's, after all, he was relatively old and had profound skills, so he was not necessarily worse than Yang Xiao. However, there are really no obvious examples in the book to prove the high and low of the two people.
On this question, Zhang Wuji inadvertently sorted the two people once and gave the answer from the side.
In the first battle of Sandu, Zhang Wuji was alone and unable to do so. At that time, he sighed -
If you continue to fight, you will only die in vain. Today, we will get rid of ourselves, and we will go to Grandpa, Yang Zuo, Fan Right, and Wei Bat, and together with the five of us, we will surely win the three monks.
Pay attention to Zhang Wujie's order, he put his grandfather Yin Tianzheng in the first place, before Yang XiaofanYao.
You know, at this time, Zhang Wuji was quickly assessing the strength of Sandu, so his first consideration was the martial arts of our personnel, not the degree of intimacy. Therefore, Zhang Wuji put Yin Tianzheng in front, that is, he decided that Yin Tian was the highest martial artist in our side, not because he was his grandfather and had the closest relationship with himself.
If sorted by status, Yang Xiaofan Yao would of course be ranked ahead of Yin Tianzheng. But Zhang Wuji did not arrange it this way. Therefore, it is basically certain that Yin Tianzheng, Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, and Wei Yixiao, this ranking is the ranking of the strength of the high-level personnel of the Ming Sect at that time.
In fact, Yang Xiaoyin Tianzheng really compared it once, but it was not martial arts, but light skills. On the way to save the Wudang Sect, Yang Xiaoyin Tianzheng marched hand in hand, and finally arrived at the same time. Jin Yong's analysis was that Yang Xiao walked briskly, Yin Tianzheng had profound skills, and the two ran a draw.
Obviously, the so-called brisk steps only take advantage of the younger. Profound skill is the key to strength.
In the Battle of Guangming Peak, before Zhang Wuji appeared, Yin Tianzheng had been supporting the lifeblood of the Ming Sect and fighting against the masters of the six major sects. If you change to Yang Xiao, who is not injured, I am afraid that he will not be able to support it for such a long time.
Finally, a detail will be explained. When he broke into the Vajra Voldemort Circle for the second time, Zhang Wuji successively chose Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, Wei Yixiao, and even Yin Ye Wang, but did not choose Yin Tianzheng. In fact, this is not because Yin Tianzheng's strength is not good, but he is afraid that his grandfather will lose his age. Otherwise, would Yin Tianzheng's strength not be as good as King Yin Ye in Zhang Wuji's eyes?
