A Lone Sword Across the Mountains and Rivers

[Walking Alone in a Troubled World] Yan Huan's sword does not save the common folk. It only cuts down those bound by karma. Expelled from the Green Cliff Sword Mound as a traitor, he carries the heads of villains worth three hundred taels apiece in his left hand, and in his right, a copper fate token marking him for assassination by the Wind and Rain Tower. Yet at his waist he always wears half of a bloodstained child's longevity lock. He takes contracts to kill beneath tavern banners, but rescues swaddled infants on dark, stormy nights. The martial world calls him a mad dog, but no one sees the "Three Never Kill" vows carved into the silver leaf on his sword tassel.
