Martial Arts Returnee’s Game Broadcast

1.

There is a saying: "Anhyangsoyeong."
A deep fragrance and a sparse shadow.
This phrase refers to another aspect of the plum blossom.

"The plum blossom is a being whose name and form change endlessly depending on the time and place. Much like swordsmanship."
On the battlefield.
A dark night where shadows devour the world.

In Hwasan's swordsmanship, there is even a technique prepared for such moments.
"How strange. To try and find use in the swordsmanship of those who have lost."
"Wouldn’t it be better to learn the Heavenly Demon’s techniques? If it’s you, I could make you the next Heavenly Demon."
 
The martial arts manual of the Demon Cult.

Among the martial arts manuals looted over generations from invasions of the Central Plains, the battlefield techniques of Hwasan also made their way into these forbidden scrolls.
The Heavenly Demon, Pa Cheon-lin, did not like how her potential successor was distracted from her path.
"That damn Hwasan."

"If it hadn’t been for that foolish man, things would have been different."
Unable to scold her for carrying the burden of her feelings for the dead, Pa Cheon-lin reluctantly explained the martial art.
"Even the Yangtze River changes after ten years, what’s different about the old ways? A hundred years ago, the martial world was in constant bloodshed from endless wars."
"Instead of ridiculous titles like ‘Late-stage’ or ‘Empty Glory,’ there were countless assassination squads forged in the fires of war."
"In Hwasan, the Plum Blossom Squad, and the practitioners of the Anhyangsoyeong style, were among the finest. They were praised as the best swordsmen of Hwasan in the Heavenly Demon’s Scroll."
 

The Heavenly Demon Scroll, which records the sayings of past Heavenly Demons.
Even those who had mastered the supreme martial art of the Heavenly Demon would mention Anhyangsoyeong with reverence, acknowledging its extraordinary nature.
The entry requirements alone were at the peak level.

The swordsmanship of Hwasan, combining the chilly shadows of plum blossoms, the desolate night streets, and the quiet death of a battlefield, was unmatched.
"If the Jahashingong is the true inner technique of Hwasan, then Anhyangsoyeong is truly the swordsmanship of Hwasan."
The legendary figure of the martial world, Jahayo-nyeo.
Ha Eung Eung, also known as the demon of the purple eyes, earned this title due to her eerie beauty, which could be compared to that of a demon.

She ascended to true infamy through the Jahashingong and Anhyangsoyeong, confirming her dark renown.
Hwasan’s Peak Martial Art
Sword Style - Anhyangsoyeong
Combination Strike - Nakunilyeon
 

Clouds settle, and even the sun is swallowed by smoke, leaving a path where no one can see.
In the wake of this ominous style, wherever Ha Eung Eung’s sword passed, a storm of blood would rise like fog.
Cutting through blood vessels and scattering blood, wherever her feet tread, a bloody mist would spread, a brutal sword technique!

Saaaaaa—
Even shapeless shadows, though born of the body, became the clones of Ha Eung Eung.
The army of shadows broke apart, scattering black blood like ink.

"It’s fast!"
Even in the darkest night, her eyes gleamed brightly like daylight.
Ha Eung Eung’s eyes shared the same vision as the Silent Swordsman, and his gaze was filled with shock.

Could it be that his first defeat had humbled him?
"She’s stronger. But not in a wasteful way—her power is refined and controlled, so much more than before!"
The battle of the Silent Swordsman focused heavily on internal energy.

Whether pouring all his internal energy into a battle with a boss or wiping out enemies with a wave of his hand, he cared not about conserving his strength.
He defeated the enemy before his body could tire.
This philosophy—one that focused on overwhelming the enemy without hesitation—had completely changed his approach to battle.

"Each step she takes is as free as the flowing clouds, and the energy in her sword is more refined than before."
Demons have varying levels of strength.
For instance, demons with powers of 105, 95, 113, 143, and 122 will likely face off against a typical swordsman who struggles to exert 300 or 400 units of strength from the start, only to lose their strength as the battle drags on.

A seasoned swordsman, however, can take down opponents all at once, using slightly more strength than the strongest demon at 150, wiping out all enemies in one blow.
When the sword stops, the body becomes exhausted, and the longer the breath, the more fatigue sets in. To regain the lost breath, they must exert even more force.
But masters are different.

They can sense the relative strength of their opponents, intuitively knowing how to adjust their power during the fight—more force when facing a stronger opponent, less when dealing with weaker ones.
At the level of master swordsmen who have earned their renown across multiple fields, they can even defeat an opponent with less strength, using their opponent’s power against them.
"The Silent Swordsman was on a completely different level."

The Silent Swordsman wielded 500 units of strength.
And with that strength, he obliterated dozens of opponents with a single blow.
A swift and decisive combat style.

His techniques crushed the enemy with fear, collapsing their will to resist and shattering any thoughts of rebellion. This was an art of carnage and massacre.
Though exhausting in the short term, his attacks required much less energy in the long run.
Now, things had changed.

"Without any waste of power, she is demonstrating a level of mastery that surpasses even before."
Instead of the Demon King’s blade, which disregarded the opponent as unworthy, Ha Eung Eung’s sharp, focused sword strikes now landed with perfect precision.
Small strikes, starting with just 10 units of force, followed the movements of the plum blossoms, overlapping three, five, and seven times, each blow more precise than the last.

Craftsmanship.
It was akin to crafting.
Not cutting down the opponent, but carving them away with the finesse of a sculptor’s knife, transforming them into art.

Crushed.
The figure overwhelmed by the massive quantity.
The figure that had been shadowed by the onslaught.

Their backs pierced, leading them to their fate as the frontlines were pushed through with the overwhelming force of Ha Eung Eung’s sword.
No more thoughts of fleeing or surrendering.
The words of the frontlines echoed clearly.

She would strike down every opponent on this battlefield with her sword, one by one, thoroughly, and completely.
2. [Story Mode]
The Demon King’s avatar has its own ego.

Though not comparable to the original, it carries a sense of power, wisdom, and the weight of its history, enveloping its entire being like a wall.
Thus, when faced with this avatar, the Demon King’s avatar could not even imagine what was about to unfold.
"This is the Demon King of the Human Realm, the embodiment of all strength. Even as an avatar, its accumulated deeds are immense."

Upon seeing the battle of the Silent Swordsman, the Demon King’s avatar realized its mistake.
"This person... has become something entirely different from before. He is not just my opponent. If this is not him, no one in this world can be my enemy."
Throughout history, enemies such as Baek Ryeong-shin and others could not compare to what lay before him.

"He is no longer just human. Perhaps, he is closer to a god?"
The viewers, too, began expressing their amazement.
"An immortal??"
"Did you mean a sage?"
"The NPC who gave us items and disappeared was this strong??"
"But we never met them."
"Why is everyone talking about immortals all of a sudden?"
"With horns glowing and clouds swirling, if that’s not an immortal, what is?"
"Do immortals even have horns?"
"Immortals do have horns... note that down."
"I was just asking! No need to get so intense!"
 

As the secret history of the half-demon realm began to unfold, the viewers were left in awe.
[Current Viewers: 113,153]
One of the conditions for becoming a top-tier streamer.
In Gladiator Training, viewers were gained slowly, reaching 100,000 during the final battles, but with the entry into the half-demon realm, the number of viewers surged effortlessly.
