Liu E
The Dharma King of the Hungry Ghost Path of the Mud Cult and the who rules Ghost Island in the East Sea. He is certified by the Imperial Court as the Number One Under Heaven's madman, with a bounty even higher than that of the Heavenly King Che Xuanyuan.
He raises storms in the East Sea, often leading his followers to plunder merchant ships and official vessels. If they catch officials, they make no distinction, stripping them naked and parading them through the streets. They not only sell smuggled salt but also maliciously wreck the official salt market by half selling, half giving it away.
It is said he has been sighted riding a great white shark through the waves, dragging famous Central Plains heroes behind him on a rope.
Martial Arts
- His famous techniques are "Provoking Sword" and "Three Unfilial Legs" (no hind leg), and his Ultimate is "Shadowless Surprise Attack".
- His moves were devised as countermeasures against Che Xuanyuan's martial arts; both No Hind Leg and Provoking Sword are dirty tricks derived from Shadowless Surprise Attack.[1]
- "Provoking Sword" leaves a man no choice but to attack. An utterly wicked art.
- No man's balls can be trained hard, so No Hind Leg may be his strongest move, provided he lands the kick.[2]
- He need not kick hard at the balls; a clever flick is enough to set them spinning five times, twisting the spermatic cord until it dies, and you only find out how bad it is the next morning after you wake up. His martial arts style is unexpectedly technical.[1:1]
- His weapon is usually whatever he snatches from someone; whatever he grabs, he uses. Saber, spear, staff, or sword, he can wield them all.[3]
- Xiahou Lan appraises Liu E's martial arts style as wicked to the core. But it is not vicious, nor is it evil; it is purely nasty.
Relationships
- When he meets the self-righteous sort, he provokes them and destroys their faith.[4]
- He once looked for a chance to do away with Che Xuanyuan.[4:1]
- He kidnaps Shangguan Ying, which indirectly causes Nangong Shen to break off the engagement.
- He attacks the , beats the abbot with a rolling pin, forces the abbot to run naked through the streets, and has his accomplices slice raw fish onto the abbot's bare body to feed the dogs. The abbot's spirit is broken that very day and he retires. Shi Ming happened to be away on a wandering journey at the time and narrowly escaped.
- His karmic entanglement with Xie Wuchen runs deep: he not only defeats him in public but forces him to rename his signature Ultimate "Wind-Thunder God Kick" to "Very Forceful Kick", humiliating him to the utmost.
- He has never met Nangong Shen, but they dislike each other. Nangong Shen treats him as a great threat, while Liu E does not consider him worth his attention.[2:1]
- He rather admires Lady Wen.[2:2]
- His relationship with Wang Erzhuang is somewhat subtle. Their natures are alike, so there is both agreement and disagreement, but each respects the other's worldliness.[2:3]
Notes
- Crazy ™[4:2]
- Bird Bear's Facebook introduction: Link
- When he goes crazy, even his gang members fear him.
- His mouth is huge, like a shark's.
- Whether those teeth are natural, Bird Bear says he does not know.[3:1]
- He knows Japanese because he often goes to Japan for fun, and has even kidnapped Japanese pirates.[3:2]
- His intelligence ceiling is suspected to be extremely high. Too crazy![4:3]
- His kindness to commoners is meant to make them resent the authorities, to undermine the legitimacy of the Imperial Court's rule, to incite the people to rise up, and to give the Emperor trouble.[4:4]
- Some commoners may realize Liu E's aims and, dissatisfied with the Imperial Court, join the White Shark Gang of their own accord.[4:5]
- In the initial version, the Villain Zhao Huo had a route where he could kidnap , but after the attempt failed she got lost and wandered into the White Shark Gang, where she gorged on raw fish for half a year and nearly ate the White Shark Gang into bankruptcy, until the Shangguan Family took her back. When the Tang Clan was wiped out, Liu E rescued her. At that moment Zhao Huo appeared, and if he defeated Liu E, Zhao Huo would be struck dead by heavenly thunder. Some players were unhappy with this, so the route was cut.
