Hi everyone,

This is a manga that I read circa 1997-1999 (so it's probably ended by now). I read it in Chinese, but I'm not sure if it was originally in Chinese (so manhua) or translated from Japanese.

The manga/manhua is mainly about the fights and adventures of martial artists. Each fighter's ability is denoted largely by the color of his/her qi, which is visible, and which range from
-white - the least powerful fighters have this color
-blue, red, purple - middle colors, may not be in this specific order
-(maybe more colors)
-black - second most powerful color
-(most powerful color, forget what it is)

There is one fighter with black colored qi, but he went insane in the process of achieving that.

One character achieved the most powerful color, and gained the ability to resurrect/heal his dead brother as a result, but the price of doing so is his own death.

In the managa, there are two major competing styles of fist-fighting techniques:
-one is themed around dragons,
-the other is focused on taichi/circular balance
-the fighter with the black colored qi achieved his qi by trying to combine the two different styles of fighting (which drove him insane).

Thanks for any help.
