Name: The Overlord Reborn
Author: Huang Yun

Synopsis

This is the Southern Song, an age of decadence and corruption, ruled by treacherous officials, where fine clothes abound but few people are truly human.

The rightful dynasty of China is secretly manipulated by an assassin organization skilled in assassinations, wiping out entire families, human experimentation, and using capital to hijack politics.

The one destined to rid the world of this scourge is a royal grandson whom Genghis Khan exiled from the start.

He merges with Xiang Yu’s thousand-year-old saber, Reversed Scale, and rides a legendary steed reborn as the Black Charger. Leading a special assassination corps that makes all who hear of it tremble, he rises from a mere Daoist priest to become a hegemon spanning Europe and Asia.

Looking for Purely Classical Martial Arts Stories, No Fantasy or Cultivation

I want a genuine wuxia novel, with no cultivation immortals or overpowered martial arts. A System or a golden finger is fine, either way. I’m looking for the kind where being able to lift a thousand jin makes you incredibly powerful. Nothing too ridiculous. A little over-the-top martial arts is okay, just not so extreme that people can dodge bullets.
