Cán Xiōng

Cán Xiōng (殘凶, Zan Kyō, "Vicious") is an antagonist in Thunderbolt Fantasy and a supporting character in Thunderbolt Fantasy: The Sword of Life and Death. He is a high-ranking member of the Xuán Guǐ Zōng and a subordinate of Miè Tiān Hái.

Story
Like Liè Mèi and Diāo Mìng, Cán Xiōng is a distinguished member of the Xuán Guǐ Zōng. He was trained under Miè Tiān Hái and, judging by some of Liè Mèi's remarks, he achieved his rank through a combination of his skills and loyalty.

During Thunderbolt Fantasy: The Sword of Life and Death, Cán Xiōng competes in the Sword Art Assembly's "Sword Hero Tournament." He proves a formidable foe until his hand is wounded between matches by a disguised Shòu Yún Xiāo. When he faces Shā Wú Shēng, he can only fight one-handed and is easily outmatched. Accepting defeat, Cán Xiōng forfeits, and Wú Shēng suggests that they may meet again in the future to fight on fairer terms.

At the beginning of Season 1, Cán Xiōng hunts down the Dān siblings, Dān Fěi and Dān Héng, under Miè Tiān Hái's orders.

Abilities

 * Swordsmanship: In combat, Cán Xiōng uses his saber, Tan Láng Dāo (貪狼刀, Tonroutou, "Greedy Wolf Knife"), as a slashing weapon. His fighting style calls for disarming his opponent and dual-wielding their blade alongside his.
 * Dry Bones, Blood Slash Technique: This technique is also used by Miè Tiān Hái. Given that Cán Xiōng trains with Miè Tiān Hái, it is likely that he learned it from him.
