Heart Sword (Simgeom). A pinnacle skill in swordsmanship. Only an extremely small number of martial artists who have reached the Hwagyeong realm can grasp its essence.
The unity of sword and self—called the "Oneness of Sword and Soul" by many swordsmen—is a dream for all who walk the martial path. It’s an absolute power that can only be understood by reaching that state.
"…You wretched…"
The Master of the Celestial Stream Sect clutched his chest, a low groan escaping his lips.
He had been struck. Blood flowed freely, soaking through his martial robes.
What struck him? Sword energy? No.
The Master of the Celestial Stream Sect, himself a swordsman of the highest caliber, already understood what had cut him.
"How could someone like you wield the Heart Sword…!"
It was the Heart Sword. There was no mistaking it. The sensation confirmed it beyond doubt.
Such an attack was impossible without wielding the Heart Sword.
Here we go!!
