Synopsis

The heroic wuxia novel The Sword Heroes of the Great Song tells a thrilling story.

Main characters:

Zhan Jun, the Southern Sword Immortal whose fame shakes the ages, son of Zhan Zhao, the Southern Hero; Liu Ruxue, the Charming Shadow and Tiger-Subduing Immortal Maiden, adopted daughter of Liu Qing, the White-Faced Judge; and Bai Yuxuan, whose sword swallows rivers and mountains and whose palm shakes the Five Continents, son of Bai Yunrui, the Jade-Faced Little Bodhidharma.

Synopsis:

During the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song, in the Jiayou era, the Old Fiend Peng Hai, the Ten-Thousand-Mile Soul Chaser, and his four disciples vowed to bathe the Kaifeng Prefectural Office in blood. Bai Chun, the Laughing Heavenly King, was tragically killed in battle, while Xu Liang, the White-Browed Hero, was no match for Bai Xiaotian, the Soul-Reaping Swordsman. Just as his life hung by a thread, Zhan Jun appeared out of nowhere and rescued Xu Liang. He defeated Bai Xiaotian and outwitted Peng Hai, forcing the old fiend and his disciples to retreat from the Kaifeng Prefectural Office.

The imperial jade seal went missing, enraging Emperor Renzong, who ordered Yan Chasan of the Kaifeng Prefectural Office to solve the case by a set deadline. Meanwhile, Li Yuanhao declared himself king and launched a rebellion. Yelü Zongzhen of the Liao Dynasty conspired with Peng Hai, the Ten-Thousand-Mile Soul Chaser, Xia Yulian, the Old Mother of Demon Mountain, and others to rob the annual tribute and stir up trouble, threatening to invade the Song. Xia Yulian even demanded that the Assembly of the Three Sages be held again, setting off a catastrophe in the martial world.

Highlights:

The Song-Liao war pits father against son, as Zhan Jun strikes Zhan Zhao, the Southern Hero

Twenty-four elders wreak havoc on Demon Mountain, while the Little Sword Fiend sweeps the Yuntai Arena

Liu Chengguang dies in the Trapped Dragon Pagoda, and the heroes risk their lives to save the crown prince

The mystery of the old monkey trainer’s past, and the heroes’ great victory over Liangshan Fortress

The Old Mother of Demon Mountain is captured, and the Southern Sword Immortal makes a name for himself at the Assembly of Sages.

Any good martial arts stories? People hardly write wuxia these days. I miss it. Nowadays, everyone gets a System and cheats their way to immortality and godhood, with divine physiques and all that. I'm sick of it. It's so boring. I want to feel the thrill of roaming the world with a sword and settling scores with a sense of justice.

The supreme master of martial arts, the Southern Sage Zhan Jun. Without a name, who can rival me! The descendant of Zhan Zhao, the Southern Hero, is a legend whose chivalrous spirit of serving the country and its people is astonishing and moving.

It's very well written. The whole book is filled with righteous indignation, chivalry, and selflessness in fighting for the people and sacrificing oneself for the country. It shows that good people are rewarded, harming others is like harming oneself, good and evil will ultimately be rewarded, and lovers will eventually be happily united. It's a microcosm of what modern people should learn from.

The image of Zhan Zhao, the Southern Hero, as a gatekeeper in "The White-Browed Hero" has been overturned from my childhood impression. Now, someone has finally brought honor to the Southern Hero's family. It's so exciting!

This wooden book is far more powerful than any of the characters in the Three Heroes and Five Gallants stories; any one of them is a swordsman. The old swordsmen's martial arts are no match for the next generation, and the Song Dynasty is going through a turbulent time. If it weren't for the help of martial arts masters and the appearance of chivalrous people, the Song Dynasty would have perished long ago.

When Wuming appeared, Xiao Xiao retreated. Haha, the protagonist is righteous and chivalrous, punishing evil and upholding justice. It's very satisfying and shows the true colors of a man. Great job!
