* KickTheSonOfABitch: As stated in "Troll", he enjoys manipulating and humiliating people, but finds good people too easy. So instead he does it to the [[HowTheMightyHaveFallen arrogant and evil]].

None

Added DiffLines:

* NominalHero: He loves sending people into despair and his PhantomThief reputation is known across the land. The main reason he's not an outright villain is because he only targets other villains. He only helped Dan Fei because [[spoiler:he was interesting in humiliating Mie Tian Hai]]. Sha Wu Sheng and Xing Hai want him dead, and it's explained in [[Film/ThunderboltFantasyTheSwordOfLifeAndDeath the movie]] and the novel respectively. Lin Xue Ya befriended Sha Wu Sheng, only to [[spoiler:frame him in murder [[HeelFaceDoorSlam right when he was about to quit being an assassin]]]]. When Xing Hai tried to settle in the human realm, Lin Xue Ya [[spoiler:romanced her, then killed her friend Luan Niangzi and burned her home]].

* BatmanGrabsAGun: Shang Bu Huan rarely if ever uses an ''actual'' proper sword because he doesn't think killing should ''ever'' be an easy thing to do, so making it harder on himself is his way of doing that. Ifh Shang Bu Haun pulls out a ''real'' sword, let alone one of the ones from the Sword Index (each of which is a WeaponOfMassDestruction in its own right), it's a sign the situation is just ''that'' serious. The only times he's used a legitimate sword is when he's fighting high tier Demons who could cause unspeakable damage if allowed to run loose. Against Yao Tu Li he used a sword that could create an UnrealisticBlackHole. Against Zhao Jun Lin he used a sword with AbsurdCuttingPower.

* GreaterScopeVillain: As powerful as he is and despite possessing 36 weapons that even the gods would fear, he's running from enemies who want those weapons and will take them by force. He's confident they've lost his trail for now, but equally certain they'll show up again unless he can safely dispose the 36 weapons.
** In season 2 we see that these enemies include Huo Shi Ming Huang and his guild of insect-themed assassins of whom Xie Yingluo belongs and the Xi-You imperial government with a special team to hunt him down lead by Xiao Kuang Juan.

Added DiffLines:

* UnscrupulousHero: Was ''brutal'' in his quest to strip his empire of magical swords, killing dozens of soldiers who got in his way, and even entertaining the idea of killing Lang Wu Yao to prevent his voice from falling into the wrong hands.
