The battle between Hu Yidao and Miao Renfeng in Cangzhou is a classic game that can be called wonderful in the entire Jin Yong martial arts. Although the five-day battle between the two of them ended in a draw on the surface, Hu Yidao was poisoned and killed, but in fact, in terms of the attainment and strength of martial arts, Hu Yidao was able to improve his skills. This is not only Hu Yidao's outstanding martial arts talent, but also thanks to the subtlety of the "Hu Family Knife Method".
Hu Yidao's martial arts talent and attainments were above Miao Renfeng, which Miao Renfeng himself said to his daughter Miao Ruolan. This point, through Miao Ruolan's narration in the novel "Flying Fox on the Snowy Mountain", restores the scene at the end of the war between Hu Miao and Miao, which can be seen from Miao Ruolan's recollection of what her father told her about that day.
At that time, Hu Yidao and Miao Renfeng fought for four days, and the more they fought, the more they surrendered, and neither of them wanted to hurt the other. In order to divide the victory and defeat in this battle, Hu Yidao suggested that the two exchange weapons, Hu Yidao used the "Miao Family Sword Method", and Miao Renfeng used the "Hu Family Sword Method", with the two people's understanding of each other's martial arts in the past few days, comparing the high and low, and would not damage the prestige of each other's family martial arts. This suggestion was exactly in line with the miao people's wishes, and the two immediately exchanged weapons and engaged in their final battle.
However, as said in the novel, although Hu Miao and Miao are both masters, but the blade moves they use are not convenient, and the moves they use, the other party is all familiar with the chest, and it is so easy to restrain the other party by relying on the martial arts learned from the other party in these four days, so this is also the most able to see the martial arts talent and achievements of the two. In the process of fighting, Miao Renfeng obviously felt difficult, only because he had practiced a single knife in his youth, that he took advantage of this aspect and could barely fight with Hu Yidao.
Miao Ruolan: "My father said that this day's fierce battle was the most dangerous one in his life." Uncle Hu seemed rude, but in fact, he was extremely clever, and the Miao Family Sword Technique was unfolded as if he had worked hard for several years, and he only used the Miao Family Sword to break the Bagua Sword of Shandong DahaoShang Sword Ming, but he wanted to see the rest. My father's understanding is not as high as Uncle Hu, fortunately, he has eighteen martial arts pieces, although the Hu family knife method is the first sight, but when he was a teenager, he had practiced a single knife, and finally took advantage of this point, so he could also fight with him.

When the two were fighting, they constantly pointed out each other's tricks, but Hu Yidao's ability to learn swords was far better than Miao Renfeng's ability to learn swords, and after hundreds of moves, Hu Yidao's "Miao Family Sword Method" became more and more refined, which made Miao Renfeng secretly surprised, thinking that the foundation of the sword technique he had practiced in his youth was no longer useful, and he had to change his moves immediately, otherwise his sword technique would inevitably be defeated under Hu Yidao's sword. Therefore, he created a new move in time from the "floating clouds rising and falling" in the "Hu Family Knife Method", originally this move he created was an extremely common move, but Hu Yidao did not expect that he would temporarily change his move, caught off guard, and was scratched by the Miao Ren Feng's knife. It was precisely because of this injury that Hu Yidao was poisoned to death.
However, at the same time that Hu Yidao was scratched, he flew out of the ground and kicked the "Jingmen Cave" in the waist of Miao Renfeng. That is to say, if the two really fought for each other's lives without mercy, Hu Yidao would at most be cut off by Miao Renfeng's arm, and Hu Yidao's leg could kill Miao Renfeng on the spot. Therefore, in terms of martial arts talent and attainment, Hu Yidao was above the Miao Renfeng. And the "Hu Family Knife Method" is indeed very exquisite, Yan Basic is only a iron doctor in Cangzhou, but he got two pages of "Hu Family Knife Method", but he can become a master and become a green forest thief. Therefore, even if the two did not exchange weapons and truly relentlessly fight for life and death, Miao Renfeng would eventually be defeated at the hands of Hu Yidao.
Miao Ruolan: "Uncle Hu said, 'If it weren't for the affection of your subordinates, my left arm would have taught you to unload it.' Today we only count as a draw, you go back to sleep well, tomorrow how to compare? My father said bitterly: "Brother Hu, although I have a slight concession when I make a knife, even if I cut off your left arm, your leg can still kill me..."

The reason why Miao Renfeng was able to use the "Miao Family Sword Method" against Hu Yidao's family heirloom sword method was that the two of them felt sorry for each other, and neither of them wanted to hurt each other, and second, Miao Renfeng did have his superiority.
Just like Hu Yidao was the best person in the Hu family's history, Miao Renfeng was also the most powerful of their "Miao Family Sword Method" descendants. Moreover, compared to the ancestors of the Miao family, Miao Renfeng's attainments in this set of sword techniques had surpassed those of his ancestors, and he should still upgrade and transform this sword technique with his own talent. Therefore, the "Miao Family Sword Method" he made was no longer exactly the family sword method of their ancestors, and the subtlety had already shortened the gap with the "Hu Family Sword Method". After all, Miao Renfeng's title of "fighting invincible hands all over the world" is not a waste of time.
Miao Renfeng has such an accomplishment, which has a lot to do with his martial arts talent, and it is inseparable from his obsession and concentration in martial arts. His life was destined to be born for martial arts, and his dedication and study of martial arts allowed him to achieve extraordinary achievements in martial arts. But it was also for this reason that his wife Nanlan would later leave him, causing the second half of his tragic life. Compared with this, Miao Renfeng is not as dashing as Hu Yidao, not only has achievements in martial arts, but also is a husband and wife in love.
In the two novels "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" and "Flying Fox Outer Biography", Hu Yidao and Miao Renfeng are embodied, although Miao Renfeng is the same generation of heroes, the existence of the world's top masters, but compared with the "Liaodong Hero" Hu Yidao, in comparison, it is really inferior, and Hu Fei is far inferior to Hu Yidao. Although Hu Yidao's life was short, his charm, his pride and benevolence could match Xiao Feng in Yu Lingjun's mind.
