Description
In the Warring States Period, when lords of countries change overnight…
Doomed to the front line on the battlefield, sold off for three silver pennies to be enrolled as proxy fighters for powerful men.
Struck dead, again.
After 248 deaths, Cheongpoong joins the Wudang Clan incognito instead of his master. There, he studies “the dual swordplay of yin and yang”, a long-lost and legendary art unknown to anyone.
A turbulent chronicle of a pheasant – first a human shield, who only knows how to hurl the plow - who fights his way to join the Seven Legends of the Wudang Clan and becomes a master.
A classic wuxia with a globally popular reincarnation twist, this webtoon has not only been successful in Korea but also in Japan.
