Kipeci, I barely give shits about technique ranks myself for the reasons Esquilax elaborated, but I find them a cheap way of communicating "dude we are fucking good at this" (ie. progression) so I do it anyway. Now, I hope you aren't arguing that Zhang Jue's Shouwang Claws (his signature technique) is a poor offense. Yes, I happen to believe it can plow through the abbot's defense and kill him. For instance: "Style Four - White Tortoiseshell Breaker - a style of forming claws strong and sharp enough to puncture the defences of the opponent, no matter their ability." Then we have "Style Six - Raging Claws of the Mad Lion - qi-enhanced swipes with the potential to tear up the earth and bring down trees in a wide swathe of destruction." ZJ is pretty good at his shit, and if I had to guess, he did have Jinzhongzhao (and whatever other defense the Abbot Fangzhang might use) in mind when he came up with Style 4.
And no, we didn't use those styles when we attacked Zhang Manxing.
S'yeah, I think killing the abbot is a real possibility if we get reckless, but if that doesn't convince you, have a treave quote:

As for what happens afterwards, it does partly depend on your showing here. You can't expect to be given the same options that you would should you do something like, say, killing the Abbot, for example.
