Qiu Feng.

Qiu Feng, the Crimson Boneblade, is the assassin defending the Mourning Hall of Mirage Estate and serves as a boss on the main route.

Several features make him unmistakable: a cape of straw, a stack of crimson masks on his head, a heavily built body and skin pale as a corpse. He carries two blades named the Crimson Boneblade, prized by him as much as his very marrow.

To enter the Opera House you must find a ticket by the Training Grounds, and Qiu Feng awaits after its scripted scenes are passed. Defeating him rewards the Wraith Mask accessory, while a Memory Flower rests on an altar in the Mourning Hall.

Origin of the Red Judge Masks

When he first came to the estate, every Nuo performer fell to him, and he hoarded their Red Judge masks as prizes. Once there was no space left on his face, he piled the rest on his head. Mimicking a street performer's trick of swallowing swords and walking over flames, he also drove a lengthy blade through his own skull, intending to demonstrate he was unhurtable.

News reached him that Master Soul, who had never lost, was inside the estate, and he waited along the road with eagerness. Beating him in the Mourning Hall forms a piece of the main route across Mirage Estate, which continues to Covered Corridor, Willow Pavilion and the battle with Lei Dang.

Bloodthirst and superstition define him. Convinced that opera can repel evil, he imitates its styles: footwork from martial opera and the exposed fangs of fang-spitting performances, which he fixed onto his masks in the belief that his strikes land harder. His service to the Herald carries no loyalty; all he wants is the blood of powerful warriors, enough to stain his masks and cape fully red.
