Martial arts, spiritualism and swordplay all bundled into a fast-paced action thriller about revenge. Here’s where to start, Legend of the Northern Blade.
Legend of the Northern Blade is an action manhwa/webtoon based on an original story from Woo-Gak and illustrated by Hae-Min in late 2019. However, despite two years of constant publication, the series has gone virtually unacknowledged when compared to similar stories like Solo Leveling and Dungeon Reset.
In spite of this, Legend of the Northern Blade frequently delivers its readers with eye-watering violent action scenes that merge martial arts with spiritualism and swordsmanship. It manages this all while keeping a distinct aesthetic style, which relies on stark contrasts between normally darker tones and startling vivid highlights on the page that capture attention immediately. Here’s what Legend of the Northern Blade is all about and where beginners may get started with the manhwa.
The Plot Of Legend Of The Northern Blade
Woo-Gak rapidly introduces the profound history of war inside Legend of the Northern Blade, recounting the decade-long conflict between the Northern Heavenly Sect and the demonic Silent Night, which only recently ended as the story’s begins. Jin Mu-father Won’s is the fourth generation head of the Northern Heavenly Sect, but following the disappearance of the Silent Night and consequent conclusion to the battle, he is betrayed by those who formerly fought by him and accused by the government of being a traitor to the people.
This leads to the disbanding of the Northern Heavenly Sect and Jin Mu-father Won’s ultimately killing himself to protect his son’s safety. Legend of the Northern Blade recounts Jin Mu-journey Won’s to become the legitimate fifth leader of the Sect as he secretly trains in the martial arts of his predecessors, all under the continual observation of the Central Heavenly Alliance and the Nine Skies.
Jin Mu-fate Won’s becomes entwined with a diverse cast of allies and rivals as he follows a path of devastation and violent revenge, simultaneously striving to find the truth behind his father’s betrayal.
