Character description

Lu Xiaofeng is described as a charming, good-looking man with a moustache that resembles his eyebrows. Although he is known throughout the jianghu (martial artists' community) for being an alcoholic, flirt and regular patron of brothels, his unsavoury reputation is a disguise for his true personality. He is not only well-versed in martial arts, but also highly intelligent, witty and observant. These traits have helped him escape from danger and turn the tables on his enemies unexpectedly when he is apparently on the losing end. Besides, Lu Xiaofeng values friendship and often risks his life to help his friends when necessary. Lu Xiaofeng is best known for his signature skill, the Lingxi Finger, which allows him to catch and hold items, including sharp blades, between his fingers. He does not favour any particular weapon and often relies only on his bare hands to fight enemies, even when he is outnumbered. His prowess in qinggong is also legendary. Lu Xiaofeng's close friends include: Hua Manlou, a blind but highly observant martial artist who prefers to resolve problems without resorting to violence; Sikong Zhaixing , a qinggong expert who specialises in thieving and the art of disguise; Ximen Chuixue , a powerful swordsman who appears to be a cold-blooded and ruthless killer; and Zhu Ting , a master craftsman; Laoshi Heshang , an honest monk whom Lu Xiaofeng seeks advice from; Guisun Daye , a mysterious hermit who provides Lu Xiaofeng information in exchange for money.
