Let's start with sweeping monk. After sweeping monk got the dragon's paw, it was not without its merits. But a few broken ribs. If Hong Qigong's dragon's paw hits sweeping monk, I don't know what will happen (Qigong's external skills are practiced to the extreme, so Qigong's dragon's paw is definitely stronger than Qiao Feng's). So Sanzang's defense is not invincible. Sweeping monk's internal strength may be strong to another level. However, actual combat experience is obviously insufficient. If you fight Qiao Feng. You don't have to be good at internal skills to win. Therefore, I think the first weakness of Sanzang is combat experience, and the second weakness is overestimating Sanzang's defense. And the whole martial arts realm of Long Qie Dragon is at the expense of speed and strength, and Wang Yuyan can also give off-site guidance. Obviously, the overall environment of Tianlong Babu is not strong.
Besides, fight to the death with Dong Fangbubai. The sword used by Duguxia can be divided into five realms: sword, software, epee, wood blade and no sword. Ling Huchong is a fencer and Yang Guo is an epee. Zhang Wuji and Zhang Sanfeng have reached the stage of wood blade. The Nine Sword of Dugu is just a sword trick of seeking defeat by Dugu, but the level you use is determined by people's cultivation. Obviously, Ling Huchong almost swept the legendary swordsman in the sword dance stage, so Zhang Zhenren was obviously better than other heroes and mowgli brothers. With Ling Huchong as the benchmark, Dong Fangbubai should be almost sword-free. Although Dong Fangbubai's needle is a sharp weapon, it obviously belongs to a weapon that is not a weapon. So he/she has been able to reach the realm between the sword and the finger. But it's not that thorough, because he/she can only use needles, and there is no mention that he/she can use other ones. Therefore, I think Dong Fangbubai is still a bit inferior.
A comparison between the failures of Dugu and Huang Shang. In fact, this can only be compared with their martial arts and their descendants. Yang Guo's dark iron swordsmanship is better than Guo Jing's Jiuyin Zhen Jing, and there is no need to prove it. The Golden Wheel King has been shown in the sculpture. Moreover, it is said that the lonely hero who seeks defeat lives in seclusion because he got a narrow-minded man by mistake. This knight-errant is Huang Shang. Two people of similar age, Huang Shang officially defeated, wrote "Jiuyin Zhen Jing" in seclusion. When Dugu defeated Huang Shang, he remained in the epee stage. Therefore, it's better to seek defeat alone than Huang Shang.
Zhang Sanfeng and Dugu seek defeat. Zhang Zhenren's Tai Chi fencing has obviously reached the stage of wood blade. However, the brushwork of relying on heaven to slay dragons is really handy martial arts, so Zhang Zhenren reached the realm of no sword in the era of Zhang Cuishan. Then his advantage is to live long, and the natural internal force will improve after living long. So I like Zhang Sanfeng better than the lone ranger. However, if Zhang Zhenren reached the realm of no sword 20 years ago, why did the Tai Ji Chuan/sword created 20 years later return to the realm of wood blade? Because Tai Ji Chuan/Sword can only be understood if it reaches the level of wood blade, that's why Mowgli can learn Taiji Sword in a short time. And if you are not qualified, you will never learn Tai Ji Chuan/Sword. Similar to this is the dark iron sword method. Only when the epee has no front and the skillful hands are useless can we learn this fencing. Therefore, this set of martial arts routines created by Zhang Zhenren in the past 20 years should not be underestimated.
Solitary defeat and former eunuch. As mentioned above, Dong Fangbubai, who has practiced the Sunflower Collection, is close to the realm of no sword. Then, the eunuch of the former dynasty who wrote "Sunflower Collection: Exorcism Sword Spectrum" must have reached the realm of no sword. I tend to exorcise evil spirits. Jianpu is his early work, and Sunflower Collection is his mature work. Since both of them have reached the realm of no sword. This is not easy to compare. Because how to compare them quantitatively is really a difficult problem. Personally, I prefer the former eunuch to win. Because I think martial arts are developed, the eunuchs of the former dynasties were all from the early Ming Dynasty, and those who sought to perish alone were all from the Northern Song Dynasty and even the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Standing on the shoulders of giants. Moreover, compared with these two apprentices, Yang Guo and Dong Fangbubai are first-class in understanding and qualifications. I think Yang Guo is better, because Yang Guo created his own martial arts and is physically disabled and determined. But Yang hasn't arrived yet, but he has already broken through. From the perspective of martial arts inheritance, Yang Guo's understanding is as high as that of Duguxia. But as long as you are smart enough to cut off the little JJ, you can get a glimpse of the sunflower collection. From this point of view, it is more advantageous to reveal the martial arts of the eunuchs of the previous dynasties.
Finally, compare the former eunuch and Zhang Sanfeng. This is really hard to compare. However, Zhang Sanfeng still has an obvious advantage, and that is to live long. With their height, after decades of tempering, how can they be pure in internal work?
To sum up, Zhang Sanfeng was the first, the eunuch of the previous dynasty was the second, and he failed alone, and Dong Fangbubai and sweeping monk were the third.
