Martial Arts Ain’t That Big of a Deal

"Whooo..."

Seo-jun exhaled a slightly ragged breath as he gazed at the devastated landscape of the Sword Sect.

There was no life here anymore. Any signs of life had been wiped out, leaving no trace—not even an ant.

The heir of a sect destroyed seeking revenge to gain strength?

It's too clichéd. He didn't want that kind of situation.

If there were ordinary people who didn't know any better, it might have been different, but given the nature of the Sword Sect, such people didn’t exist, so there was no real hesitation.

‘Still, it’s a relief that things went as planned.’

Other factors didn’t matter. Geom Hyeon. The fight with the previous leader of the Sword Sect didn’t deviate much from expectations, making things easier.

At a glance, it might seem like he won easily with a single counter technique, 'Swordbreaker,' but beneath that was a significant amount of tactical thinking.

The reason Seo-jun won relatively easily was that Geom Hyeon didn’t reveal many of his hands. Additionally, Geom Hyeon’s martial technique, 'Ye' (銳), was a technique focused on sharpness, which played a large role.

If that weren’t the case, Seo-jun wouldn’t have intentionally let himself be pierced by his sword.

Had the entire body been pierced, no matter how regenerative he was, he might not have been able to recover.

‘The clone technique I showed last time probably helped too.’

Thanks to that, in the final moments, Geom Hyeon hesitated for a brief moment, creating a perfect opening.

Anyway, once he decided to counter instead of retreating, the outcome was sealed.

Having won against an old expert who had lived in the martial world for so long, it made this battle quite worthwhile.

‘I can be sure of one thing: There is no martial artist in the Central Plains with more tricks than I have.’

Seo-jun exhaled deeply and retrieved Geom Hyeon’s sword that had fallen to the ground.

It was called the 'Cheonhwa Sword,' according to Jegal Tong. It seemed to be a valuable weapon, a divine sword crafted by a master.@@novelbin@@
