Martial Saint: Leveling Up from Flowing Cloud Art

Lin Ping grits his teeth against the pain and runs to the main road to seek help, but a band of mountain bandits appears before him...

Will he die rather than submit, becoming another soul beneath the bandits' blades? Or will he betray his family, enter the city, and serve as a hostage?

(The protagonist is ruthless and decisive. Don't read if that's not for you!)
