Crossing the Sword Under the Cold Moon

The Qingyun Sect is brutally massacred. Its disciple Lin Yan, bearing a blood feud, narrowly escapes with the short dagger Hanmang left to him by his master. The ruthless Jianghu killers of the Xuantie Guard pursue him relentlessly, intent on seizing the lost secret manual, the Duyue Sword Manual. In a ruined temple on a rainy night, he encounters an old acquaintance, Su Changfeng, who comes to his aid. After a bloody battle, Lin Yan sets out alone on the road to Duanhun Cliff in Yandang Mountain. The road ahead is fraught with deadly peril and deep-laid schemes. The youth takes up his blade and steps into the Jianghu; amid flashing blades and sword shadows, he seeks the manual, avenges his blood feud, breaks through his obsessions, and crosses the moon with a single sword. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Crossing the Sword Under the Cold Moon — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
