    The protagonist has a cold and aloof personality; he kills without hesitation, never dragging his feet. Ultimately, he remains an assassin, unlike other swordplay books where the three characters dawdle. This book is definitely a fast-paced, enjoyable read. If you don't like it, feel free to criticize me. I'm recommending this book mainly because I want to read it myself and don't want it to be discontinued. I rarely recommend books, but this is only the third one I've recommended. If you don't believe me, look at the first chapter; it's truly unlike those classics where you need a long time to read before you reach the exciting parts.

    This new book features a protagonist who is a sword genius, has no system, and is simple-minded, yet not stupid. His decisiveness in killing is genuine; he doesn't care if you're male, female, young, or old, or if you're doing something bad and want to kill him, he'll kill you. Killing doesn't affect his emotions. (He's simple-minded, believing that once the enemies are killed, everything is fine, and he doesn't care how many people he has to kill.) Currently, the story is probably still in its early stages; the cultivation aspect is later, and it's uncertain whether it will be able to be completed.

    The first book, "I Have a Sword," is titled "Awakening of Insects," a work that opens up peace in a chaotic world, seizing light from the darkness. I am invincible, for no other reason than my name is Bai Fengliu! The second book, "Martial Arts World," is essentially a muddled tale of chivalry and passionate love. That year, when the two first met, the young man vowed that he would marry no one but her. That year, the young man, dressed in a blue robe and carrying a wooden sword, left the once-large inn that now seemed so small. That year, the two made a promise: if he avenged his great wrongs, and she made a name for herself, they would travel the world together, swords in hand. What this ordinary, street-smart young innkeeper was thinking about was a matter of life and death, ultimately just a matter of a single sword strike. In the third book, there is a young man in the East, with two swords at his waist, tempering his heart in the mortal world; in the West, there is a mad monk, carrying a paintbrush, bringing flowers to the world; in the South, there is a Taoist priest, holding a peach wood talisman to suppress the mountains and seas; in the North, there is a demon, carving wood into a staff, its roar echoing through the nine heavens. Meanwhile, in the Central Plains, a scholar puts down his book, picks up a sword, hangs a wine gourd, and with a single step, he traverses a thousand miles, his sword chilling the nine provinces!
