Name: The Mad Beggar's Heir: The Whole Martial World Kneels When He Draws His Blade
Author: Takeout Dream Chaser

Synopsis

[Classic Wuxia | Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger | Decisive and Ruthless | Vengeance and Passion]

On a snowy night at Yan Pass, a broad blade smashed through the door of a family home.

His sworn father died in the snow, and his childhood sweetheart fell in a pool of blood.

Xiao Yunfan, a young man from a border town, carried the forbidden book The Mysterious Strategy of Mountains and Rivers, powerful enough to overthrow a dynasty, and was forced into the deadly struggle between the imperial court and the martial world.

He had no magical treasures that let him fly through the sky or burrow beneath the earth. All he had was a strange breathing technique taught by an old beggar and a short blade that thirsted for blood.

To evade the imperial authorities and the pursuit of the Ghost Shadow Tower, the greatest assassin organization, he changed his name, lay low at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, and worked as an obscure stable hand.

The world laughed at him for being a coward, and the martial world looked down on him for being young.

But no one knew that a heart of a demon lay beating in his chest!

In Jiangnan’s pleasure district, he used himself as bait, manipulating the tangled conflicts between rival gangs;

On a night at an ancient temple in the barren hills, trapped in a deadly ambush by the finest assassins, he finally wiped the rust from his blade and drew it from its sheath!

That night, rain washed over the corpses strewn across the ground.

Xiao Yunfan stood on the head of a martial arts magnate. Blood dripped from his blade, and his gaze was as cold as the bitter frost of the northern frontier:

“From this day on, I, Xiao Yunfan, make the rules of the martial world!”

No cultivation, no System! Hard styles, solid moves, and every blow lands with a bone-crunching impact!

Watch as a lone wolf cuts his way through this treacherous age with nothing but an ordinary blade, and brings the vast realm under his rule!

Any Pure Wuxia Novels?

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.
