    During the beginning of the film, we see how the Axe Gang is powerful and terrifying until the trio effortlessly defeat the Axe Gang. Even then, the three still meet their demise at the hands of the Harpist. Then we get to see the Harpist was no match against the couple. Then they show us again no matter how strong the couple, the killer Beast is just on another different level. Finally, the Beast himself was a piece of cake in the eyes of main character true power(the moment he unlock the Buddha's Palm). It's like anime power level scaling.

    notice that the 1st 2 can't even see the attacks until the last secs (base on the visual representation) but with the other 2 , they can visually see all the attacks. This represents how powerful those 2 are. just my cents

      no, it was a difference in the strength of the attack. For the first 2, the harpists only need to summon the flying blades. For the other 2, the harpists needed to summon an undead army.

      @@adrianroxas9772 in my opinion the last attack is the true form of harp's power.that harp must be cursed or something.we can see the band of undead warriors because the strings were snap and can't be produce a good sound via quick fix.the attacks of the harp are almost invisible at the beginning because it's concealed with the good sound of the harp.maybe that harp has some kind of power.

    This is just my opinion, but I think the couple is a perfect counter for The Harpist. The Harpist technique mostly focus on long range attack (blade and fist) although they have also close range figther (the bigger dude). Their long range attack seems like some sort of sound wave, it's so fast and so dense that it forms blade and a fist that can cut through soft surfaces like human flesh or even concrete. Now, the couple could counter their attack, the husband silent movement easily reach them without them knowing it and make them fight on close range, since one of the Harpist are blind and really rely on hearing while figthing, and the other only focus on offensed and brute stength, the husband fluid almost like water technique really make them in trouble by letting them hit each other, with the wife ability to produce an even more stronger sound wave with wide range that easily destroy everything in front of it and sweep the Harpist attack and blast them few feet away, they lose to a better duo they never face.

    Best visualization of the Qi concept in movie! Even better than what Star Wars did with the "Force". I like how it demonstrates physical power and skills are no match to Qi: two skilled fighters cannot defeat the harpists; but the harpists are still not the most powerful, they need the instrument as a medium to focus and deliver the energy, while the land lady is powerful enough to release her Qi energy by just screaming. That's better than Jedi's in Star Wars where the differences between novice and powerful force manipulators are just how big of a thing one can move with force.
