Novel[]
The first form of Seongmyeonggeombeop, the Tiger Fang Sword, is a martial art that embodies the fierce and impetuous strength of a tiger. It is used to subdue the opponent quickly and efficiently. The protagonist, demonstrating great talent in the technique, executes it masterfully and surprises his opponents.
Faced with a fierce duel, the bearded middle-aged man reacts with astonishment when he realizes that the young fighter not only masters the 4-star Seongmyeong Shingong, but also uses an improved version of the Seongmyeong sword technique. The fight intensifies and the veteran warrior is pressured by the frenetic pace of the protagonist's strikes. Speed is a crucial element in this technique, but the true power of the Tiger Fang Sword lies in its precision and unpredictability.
In the midst of the attacks, the protagonist finds a gap in the opponent's defense and delivers a precise blow, piercing the opponent's right collarbone. The pain makes him lose his balance, creating an opportunity for a decisive attack. When the bearded man tries to retreat using a magical technique, the protagonist anticipates his action and, with his Namcheon Iron Sword, uses Eunyeonsa's rope to tie the opponent's leg. The accurate blow completely destabilizes the opponent, resulting in his defeat.
Despite the humiliation, the bearded man tries to resist, but his technique is insufficient. The protagonist, using his skill and sharp reflexes, counters his desperate attempt and delivers the final blow, hitting the enemy's heart directly. The opponent's body writhes in agony before he succumbs completely.
After defeating the strongest warrior, the protagonist turns his attention to the other combatants. Surprisingly, a young warrior with a yellow turban had eliminated six enemies in a short period of time. Despite the brutality of the fight, the young man demonstrated exceptional skills, using cruel and precise attacks. He targeted vital points such as the eyes, nose, armpits and genitals, revealing a lethal fighting style.
The protagonist, recognizing the need to end the fight quickly, eliminates yet another opponent with a stealthy strike. Seizing the opportunity, the young man in the yellow turban decapitates his opponent with frightening dexterity. Even Iron Sword Namcheon expresses surprise at the ruthless execution of the young warrior.
At the end of the battle, the young man in the yellow turban approaches the protagonist with a bright smile, showing gratitude. However, his cold personality and bloodthirsty approach make the protagonist uncomfortable. As the survivors try to catch their breath, the identity of the young man becomes an intriguing mystery.
When asked about his origin, the young man hesitates before answering. However, before he can offer a satisfactory answer, the protagonist notices a large group approaching. Quickly calculating, he estimates that at least twenty to thirty fighters are heading his way. Given this information, he decides it is best to retreat before engaging in another unnecessary confrontation.
As they flee, the young man in the yellow turban follows the protagonist with impressive agility. Despite his youthful appearance, he demonstrates a level of martial arts mastery that suggests rigorous training. As they continue their escape, he reveals a keen awareness of the situation, foreseeing the arrival of a particularly powerful opponent among the enemies.
Eventually, the menacing presence reveals itself. An expert master emerges from the forest, displaying an intimidating aura. The protagonist and the young man in the yellow turban attack simultaneously, trying to surprise the new enemy. However, the opponent blocks their blows with ease, demonstrating impressive strength and technique. Realizing that continuing the attack would be futile, the protagonist quickly retreats, stopping the offensive.
To his surprise, he finally recognizes the opponent: it is Seogalma, one of the unparalleled masters of the martial arts world. Seogalma, in turn, is also impressed to see that the protagonist is alive. As they exchange words, the young man in the yellow turban watches the interaction with a confused expression.
When Seogalma questions his identity, the young man hesitates before finally revealing his name: Sima Yeong, from Sacheonseong Gyewolgok. The revelation shocks both the protagonist and Seogalma, as this region is known to be home to one of the great evildoers of the martial world: Sima Zhao, also known as the Evil Sword of the Moon.
With this new information, the situation becomes even more complex. Sima Yeong's identity and intentions are now under suspicion, as his connection to one of the four great evildoers of the martial world could pose a significant risk. The protagonist and Seogalma must quickly decide how to deal with this
