   The protagonist was born in the early Republic of China, close to the late Qing Dynasty. From a young age, he possessed the ability to see things others couldn't, which led him to become a legendary exorcist specializing in exorcism. He prefers violent exorcism, killing without seeking salvation, and his ruthless methods have made him a legend. He is skilled in many things, but only uses them occasionally, preferring to act with violence. A conflict with the underworld resulted in mutual destruction, significantly weakening his own power to less than half its former strength. Whether he can recover remains to be seen.

   This is what you call supernatural! This supernatural novel is so exhilarating! The witchcraft, black magic, yin and yang feng shui are incredibly realistic. I suspect the author actually knows something. The female lead is ridiculously strong. She gets a power-up from the King of Hell, and the Heavenly Dao takes her place. She's full of patriotism and has her eyes on her own life. She's even trampling on South Korea. And the female lead is constantly improving!
