Some specialize in gunpowder, trusting the power of firearms more than the swords in their hands.
Some believe in the power of poison, which can bring even the most powerful experts to their knees.
And others study hypnosis, divination, mechanisms, and gu, along with all sorts of dark arts. They say martial arts are useless against the bizarre.
But they are all wrong. As long as you have a sword in your hand, you can stand against an entire nation.
The new book, "Beast, Repent Already," has over a million characters.
