- Extreme Omnivore: Eats one of Chilian's snakes to taunt her.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has the names of the seven nations that imprisoned him carved into his skin.

Only Shao Siming and Yan Lu were able to at least leave some scratches on him. Tian Hu and other members of Lieshan Hall are able to grievously wound him enough that he is forced to retreat, but it was a five-on-one match and Sheng Qi was still able to hold off three of them without injury before Tian Hu stepped in. Later, he manages to hold his own against Tian Ci even in spite of his injuries, while Tian Ci had previously defeated Gao Jianli and Da Tie Chui, and killed Dian Qing.

- Combat Pragmatist: When Shennong Hall and its allies find themselves outnumbered in a village set up as a trap by Lieshang Hall, Dian Qing collapses buildings and throws stone statues at their attackers to take out large numbers of Mooks. When fighting Mei Sanniang, Ya Nu, and Gu Yao, he knocks Mei out of the fight, manipulates Gu Yao into stabbing Ya Nu's arms and rendering him unable to fight, then pins Gu Yao down and decapitates him by stretching his neck until it broke. Afterwards, when Tian Zhong has Zhu Jia, Liu Bang, and Situ Wanli cornered, he breaks through a building, then tears down another building to buy time for their escape.
- Killed Off for Real: Dies at Tian Ci's hands, as the latter can pierce through his nigh-indestructible skin.
- Made of Iron: Like Mei Sanniang, who also hailed from the state of Wei, his body is very durable against physical attacks. He can have entire sections of buildings collapse on him to little effect.
- One-Man Army: Is able to take on Mei Sanniang, Ya Nu, and Gu Yao on his own, each of them very capable fighters in their own right. At the end of the confrontation, he even kills Gu Yao and incapacitates Ya Nu before leaving them to rescue his cornered companions.

Tian Ci kills him after witnessing him attempting to rape Tian Yan, who had just run away from watching him beat her mother. However, this entire account comes from Tian Yan, who Wei Zhuang points out might be lying about any or all of it.
