Sword in Hand, I Challenge the Heavens

[Traditional Xuanhuan] [No System] [Not Reborn] [Does Not Transmigrate] [Swordsmanship]

There is a young swordsman in the mortal world.

He is one of the few grandmasters of swordsmanship in the world;

he is the famed third-place winner of the martial rankings;

and he is also the heir to a marshal's household, who spent twenty years lost from home.

He was born a sensation, blessed with a Heavenly Martial Physique and an unparalleled sword constitution, yet his vitality was drained away by the burden of avenging his father's death.

Adrift in a small town, he planned to recover from his injuries and then return to the capital to live as an idle young lord. But then he encountered a local bully selling the imperial court's disaster relief grain at an exorbitant price...

He said, "Do you know what it means when a starving camel is still bigger than a horse?"

The story takes its time laying the groundwork, so the pacing is a little slow at first. Please bear with it, dear readers. I've honed my craft writing over three million words in completed novels, so you can read with confidence!
