Return of the Unknown Swordsman
Please note that this novel is fictional, and as such, the characters and organizations within are merely the subject of the author's intellectual devices.
The year is 1009 A.D. Huanzhi Ren is the Unknown Swordsman, an assassin with over 37 years of experience in murdering adversaries. He has been the death of countless young warriors, 1200 to be exact. Among those who have fallen to his blade is even the former king, Qinluo. This man is considered by many to be a villain. His closest companion, you ask? A man named Suntao. His blood brother since abandonment. Huanzhi, also called Zhi or Zhi-zhi, has the aspirations to be the greatest warrior the martial arts world has ever known. By the way, screw all of these titles, I'm not gonna lie... that's pretty long to remember. "The Greatest Warrior the Martial Arts World Has Ever Known." Think that fits on a name tag? Hell no.
In any case, Huanzhi is told of a pill by his blood brother that is rumored to give the absorber of it the amount of qi cultivation of 89 years of isolation training. The only problem? It's guarded by some of the greatest warriors to walk the realm... and Zhi-zhi can't fight with his right arm. Just before dying from his wounds from a fight with Lu Gongfen "The Falling Lotus Petal" (Seriously man, who names these stupid titles), Zhi regrets all the vile acts he has committed. As such, he is given a second chance at life. A chance to redeem himself. The only problem? It's 2023, and he doesn't have a blood brother around to keep him in check.
Please read the prologue for the background!

I am so grateful for you guys motivating me to keep me going! Thanks so much for everything! I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU ALL A KISS!... WELL...

Updated Regularly (Usually, every 2 days, however, can be longer or shorter depending on my mood).
Enjoy, and if you don't... Zhi-Zhi'll be after you soon... Don't you worry. I'll call him off.
Funny, thrilling, immersive, fresh and amazingly written. The camaraderie between Zhi and his brother, his mourning of his lost love, and his desperation to get back everything... it's solid and perfectly fits to the plot. I think I'll be following this novel, author... Congrats on having a banger!
This novel is absolutely delightful! The author has done an excellent job of crafting a well-written and engaging story. The characters are so well-developed that their emotions and motivations really shine through. I found myself laughing out loud throughout the book – it's such a fun read! I highly recommend adding it to your reading list, as I certainly will be. Keep up the fantastic work, and I can't wait to see what the author comes up with next!
I am very sad to announce that I will be going on Hiatus for an indefinite period of time, namely a few months or so. I thank you all for the support up to now. Don't worry. There will occasionally be new chapters posted, but for now, please bear with me.

I love the writing and descriptions of the scenes, the world building and story so far. A personal opinion is I dislike the main characters exposition but that is just a personal issue.

Oh just another self 5 star for another webnovel. Don't mind me, or do. Zhi is still watching
Not bad so far, so I will continue reading. Added to my collection. My only thing is, some parts feel a bit too much of a tell, or the dialogue feels a bit too wordy in some parts.
It is an action-packed story. Expect for martial combat in almost every chapter. I like the detailed narrative the author has managed to artistically feature during combat scenes. I find it inspiring like me who wishes to write intricate and poetic martial combat scenes. Kudos to the author! What I am looking forward now is the character development. I have read up to Chapter 18 of this book. So far, it has been a roller-coaster ride.
I love you developed the story! The characters are really well written, and I love the pacing. The development, the well fleshed out characters— keep it up, author!
