Hong Antong vs Ao Bai, which is the best?

In Jin Yong's The Duke Of Mount Deer, Hong Antong and Ao Bai are two villains. Both of them are good at martial arts, but they have never met.

Ao Bai has the title of the first knight in the Qing Dynasty. In the novel, he is a very domineering existence. As a restless existence, Ao Bai often swaggered in the street, but none of his assassins succeeded, which showed his trust in his own strength.

Unlike Dr. Hai, Ao Bai's record was actually made by himself. Even the right place at the right time, in addition to Ao Bai, Kangxi was almost killed by the other side.

Hong Antong, the head of the Dragon Sect, is a prestigious existence in the Jianghu, and martial arts is the highest existence. As an alternative Dong Fangbubai, he also has his own title of "immortality, happiness and harmony";

Hong Antong was ambitious. He tried to achieve his dominance through 42 chapters, but after that, his plot was finally shattered by Wei Xiaobao's mistakes. Hong Antong's ending was very tragic. After being betrayed by the congregation, his wife left with Wei Xiaobao.

Extended data:

Jin Yong said that he wanted to write about cults in "Eternal Dragon Slayer", but he became more and more sympathetic to this "evil" religion when he wrote it. Therefore, this religion is not evil.

He tried again in the legendary swordsman, but the result of "Shinto of the Sun and the Moon" was no more evil than Zoroastrianism. On the contrary, because of the hypocritical contrast with Zheng Da Sect, it has become more human.

Jin Yong's "wish" was finally realized in Duke of Lushan: Shenlong religion is a terrible cult. Although there are still bad people, Jin Yong basically has no sympathy for Shenlong religion.

Hong Antong, the dragon leader, is the most overbearing and ugly leader in Jin Yong's novels. He is even uglier than Dong Fangbubai and Ren Woxing, not to mention Yang Dingtian, but only in this way can his domineering become more prominent.

What he has in common with Ren Woxing, Dong Fangbubai and Ding Chunqiu is that he likes flattery, so much so that his subordinates invented many disgusting slogans to cater to his preferences.

And martial arts can be said to be superior to the whole Jianghu in the Qing Dynasty. Mentally, he should be closer to Zuo Lengchan. They are all careerists who gained political power by planning and organizing a coup.
