The Lone Swordsman

In the Tang dynasty, swordsmanship rose to prominence!

The hero of our story is Lin Kuang, known as the Sword King, the most fearsome figure at the pinnacle of swordsmanship in the Tang dynasty! His swordsmanship is superb and he is merciless. Anyone who crosses swords with him, whether righteous or wicked, is executed without mercy if they lose!

Of course, at first he was completely unknown. No one had ever heard of him! That changed after the “Chang’an Showdown at the Summit,” when even Emperor Xuanzong of Tang began to fear him...

This novel is adapted from the song of the same name, “The Lone Shadow of the Swordsman.”

Lyrics:

I was a nameless swordsman, wandering alone,

Through countless storms of blood and bitter cold.

With a swift horse, I rode,

A thousand miles, leaving no trace.

I roamed the martial world,

My life an open book.

They say no hero can resist a beauty’s charms,

Yet with a beauty who could topple kingdoms, I ended up alone.

Two fists cannot defeat four hands,

A broken sword cannot save the one you love.

Though the road is just a stone’s throw away,

We gaze at each other, lost and forlorn.

How bitter,

How sad,

A lonely shadow fading away.

My body is broken, my will spent,

My beloved is gone forever.

How bitter,

How sad,

To live by vengeance and repay every debt.

I sing and weep over wine,

Leaving nothing but regret.

I bid farewell to the martial world and all beneath heaven,

Then sweep off my sleeves and retreat into seclusion.
