## **History**

In the beginning, Kwang is known as Cheon Ma Sin Gun's disciple but refuse to return to Cheon Ma's side and usually runs off by himself. It's also known that he saved Cheon Ma Sin Gun and Sword Emperor when the two are said to have fought to the death. Later in the story there was a flashback in which shows Sword Emperor and Cheon Ma Sin Gun teaching Kwang their respective martial arts.

Kwang learned the Air Step (Light Feather or Body Alleviation Technique) from his father, and also the reason Kwang dislikes fighting was because his father told him Murim is a scary place and that he should run before he fights.

According to Kwang his parents were hunters and they were killed by a bear. Later on Kwang remembered that his mother were killed by the people of White Force as revenge against his father for the event that happened 20 years ago. Kwang's father then sealed away Kwang's memories in hope that Kwang would forget about all the painful memories and live a peaceful life.

In an attempt to prove Kwang isn't involved with Jin Sang-Pil and the Song Mu Guild, he give the "Handsome Swordman" the Jang Baek Style Manuscript after mistakenly given a perverted book the first time stating that Kwang was holding on to the Jang Baek Style Manuscript until Kwang meets another martial artist, skilled in the Jang Baek Style, whom ever wanted to find Sword Emperor. Lying to the [[Dam Hwa Rin|"Handsome Swordman"] that Kwang sent "him" to the ambush at the restaurant to test "his" skills in the art of Jang Baek Style. Kwang deduce that the "Handsome Swordman" must be the successor to Sword Emperor, the strongest of the Five White Sages, due to "his" abilities of the Jang Baek Style as well as accusing Sword Emperor of being a hypocrite for famously declaring in Murim that he will have no successor which will damage Sword Emperor's reputation. However, the "Handsome Swordman" reveals that Sword Emperor is *his* grandfather and that *he* is searching for Sword Emperor after not heard from him for two years.

#### Bonding with the "Handsome Swordman"

During the next morning, Kwang wake up early in order to find ingredients to make medicine for the "Handsome Swordman". One of the ingredients turn out to be a snake to the dismay of the "Handsome Swordman" which Kwang tease the "Handsome Swordman" for being able to *kill people without blinking an eye but crys like a girl when "he" sees a snake*, resulting the "Handsome Swordman" to lash out out Kwang but stop when "he" notice Kwang's hands sustaining bite marks from the snake and learning Kwang wasn't good at hunting snakes. Feeling thankful for Kwang's efforts, the "Handsome Swordman" slash at Kwang's hands, to Kwang's dismay, and offer to suck out all of the venom out of Kwang's wound resulting Kwang's heart beating rapidly when noticing how feminine the "Handsome Swordman" is. Being distracted by their moment, they fail to realise of being discovered by Pyo-Gon and his "Dogs of the Black Ghost".

#### The Flame Dragon Blade

After returning to the Shack House, the "Handsome Swordman" immediately confront Kwang as to when Kwang is going to tell where Sword Emperor is to fulfill the promise made four days ago but was interrupted when Jin Sang-Pil and his followers launch an attack of flaming arrows at the Shack House. When noticing how outnumbered they are, Kwang propose to hand over the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword in order to save their lives but the "Handsome Swordman" strongly deny the proposal as the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword holds some kind of secret as well as the key to finding "his" grandfather, rebuking that "he" rather die than give the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword to Jin Sang-Pil. Admiring the "Handsome Swordman"'s resolve, he quickly reveal to the "Handsome Swordman" the other option to their predicament: a secret tunnel underneath the Shack House leading out to the forest. Before going, Kwang lift up his bed to reveal the box of the Flame Dragon Blade. When question by the "Handsome Swordman" of the content of the box, Kwang reply that it is a hidden treasure and take the box with them.

#### The Light Feather Body Alleviating Technique

Exiting the secret cave tunnel and explained by Kwang that they arrive at the other side of the hill, behind the Shack House, the "Handsome Swordman" question Kwang as to why Kwang build a secret cave tunnel suspecting that Kwang is a criminal escaping from the Law which Kwang rebuked that he build the secret cave tunnel *so that he could bring girls into his house and sneak away after he is done*. Sadden by the lost of Shack House, Kwang assume that as long as the Shack House is burning, Jin Sang-Pil and his followers won't suspect anything while revealing to the "Handsome Swordman" that he knew Jin Sang-Pil and his followers would find them sooner or later and planned to lose them by pretending to be cornered in the burning Shack House but escaping underground. However, Jin Sang-Pil and his followers were able to track them down thanks to Pyo-Gon and his Dogs of the Black Ghost which quickly attack the pair, surprising Kwang at how easily the Dogs of the Black Ghost were at destroying boulders. Learning that the Dogs of the Black Ghost were able to track them down easily because of Pyo-Gon obtaining the cloth with the "Handsome Swordman"'s blood from "his" battle with Jin Sang-Pil, who detect a scent of a woman from the cloth, Kwang jokes about the "Handsome Swordman" having *been with so many women, that "he" even smell like one*. Unable to tolerate their insolence, Jin Sang-Pil quickly order Pyo-Gon to attack the pair. Learning that the Dogs of the Black Ghost's iron spell is nullified by the special ability of the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword (It possesses the ability to nullify all kind of magic) which shock everyone, Kwang took advantage of the situation and quickly up come with a plan to escape using the abilities of Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword and their body alleviating technique surprising everyone of his amazing lightfeather body alleviating technique by climbing a mountain within seconds.

After successfully escaping, "Handsome Swordman" asks Kwang how he managed to scale the mountain within seconds and why does he always flees without fighting when he is clearly no ordinary person; Kwang replies, "What if he dies or gets hurt?" Afterwards, Kwang try to negotiate "payment" for his services so far declaring *what idiot would work for nothing* but was interrupted by a flying boulder being thrown by Dong Woo, a follower of Jin Sang-Pil. Shock by the monstrous strength of Dong Woo and noticing their path ahead is cut off by the Song Mu Guild, Kwang quickly come up with the plan to jump to the other side of the mountain, which terrify the "Handsome Swordman" who notice the great distance between the two side of the mountain.

Knowing that there are no alternative but death, Kwang attempt to leap toward the other side of the mountain, surprising everyone again of his amazing lightfeather body alleviating technique, but barely managing to grab hold of the edge of the cliff stating that if the "Handsome Swordman" doesn't get off Kwang and climb up the cliff in time, they will fall down to their deaths. Desperate to not lose the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword, Jin Sang-Pil order Jin-Gyung, a follower of Jin Sang-Pil, to stop Kwang and the "Handsome Swordman" from escaping them. Jin-Gyung successfully feint and trick the "Handsome Swordman" to retaliate against his flying rope dagger with the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword in order to wrap the rope around the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword. Seeing the "Handsome Swordman" being pull away, Kwang plead with the "Handsome Swordman" to let go of the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword as it isn't worth the Dam Hwa Rin"Handsome Swordman"]'s life. The "Handsome Swordman" stubbornly choose to die than to give up the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword, forcing Kwang to yield and offer his hand for the "Handsome Swordman" to grab onto but instead the "Handsome Swordman" grab onto the box of the Flame Dragon Blade which is currently at the back of Kwang with it's attached rope tied around the neck of Kwang creating a funny scene of Kwang being choked by the [[[Hyun Woo|Jin Sang-Pil]] telling Jin-Gyung to start pulling the rope to get the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword. Once again, Kwang plead with the "Handsome Swordman" to let go of the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword which the "Handsome Swordman" still stubbornly declare that "he" will not let go of the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword, even if "he" die to which Kwang comment "*if you want to die so badly, die alone!*". Unable to wait any longer, Dong Woo offer his help to pull the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword away from the "Handsome Swordman". Unable to continue the struggle due to his injuries, the "Handsome Swordman" lose hold of "his" grip of both the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword and the box of the Flame Dragon Blade and proceed to fall down to "his" doom while being unconscious. Kwang quickly jump down to grab hold of the "Handsome Swordman" and struggle to grip onto the wall of the cliff. Taking advantage of Kwang's predicament, Jin Sang-Pil immediately order Jin-Gyung to finish them off but when Jin-Gyung throw his flying rope dagger towards Kwang, Kwang dodge the attack by jumping onto the rope as the dagger is stuck on the wall of the cliff. Thanking Jin-Gyung for the rope, Kwang quickly try to escape from his predicament but instead Jin Sang-Pil choose engage Kwang on the rope.

After a short engagement, Jin Sang-Pil conclude that Kwang is hiding his skill and too much of a threat to be left alive but Kwang assure Jin Sang-Pil that he doesn't care for such things as revenge and propose a deal if Jin Sang-Pil let them go, then Kwang will stay out of his business forever. Jin Sang-Pil agree to the deal and offer a handshake with Kwang but once Jin Sang-Pil got hold of Kwang's hand, he treachery attack Kwang and manage to land a devastating blow to Kwang which result Kwang and the "Handsome Swordman" falling down to their doom.

Kwang briefly wakes up to touch the "Handsome Swordman"'s chest which resulted being discipline for his perverted antic. The "Handsome Swordman" also fall asleep while caring for Kwang.

Kwang wakes up after a droplet from the cave's ceiling landed on his head, discovering that the "Handsome Swordman" had care for him the whole night. While Kwang tries to sit up straight, he suddenly feel a strong pain in his chest which reminds him of the devastating blow he received from Jin Sang-Pil who he remark as *one hell of an evil guy*.

When the "Handsome Swordman" wake up, "he" thank Kwang for risking his life for "him" and quickly attempt to set out to get back the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword from Jin Sang-Pil and his followers. Kwang attempt to persuade to stop the "Handsome Swordman" but fail due to the "Handsome Swordman"'s stubborn resolve. To repaid Kwang's kindness, the "Handsome Swordman" give the painting of Dam Hwa Rin as a gift.

#### Meeting the Guild Master of Song Mu Guild

While carrying the reluctant "Handsome Swordman" as Kwang use his lightfeather body alleviating technique to quickly gain pace to chase after Jin Sang-Pil and his followers, they accidentally land on top of Yu Won-Chan, the Guild Master of Song Mu Guild. Suspicious of Yu Won-Chan, Kwang didn't wanted to cooperate with the Guild Master and was very disrespectful resulting a bickering between Kwang and the "Handsome Swordman" about his manners.

Parting with Yu Won-Chan, the "Handsome Swordman" curiously ask Kwang why Kwang isn't talking to Yu Won-Chan who is the Guild Master of Song Mu Guild, one of many huge and powerful Guild of White Force, in which Kwang replies looking at Yu Won-Chan's face shattered his dream of becoming a Ladies' man since Yu Won-Chan looks handsome.

When the "Handsome Swordman" doubt him, Kwang overconfidently claim Jin Sang-Pil and his followers could be somewhere near in front of them which turn out to be true surprising everyone.

#### The treasure sword of Cheon Ma Sin Gun

Walking into their enemies by pure luck, the "Handsome Swordman" quickly demand Jin Sang-Pil to give "his" sword back. Surprise that Kwang and the "Handsome Swordman" are still alive, Jin Sang-Pil was about to strike at them knowing that they are injured but interrupted by Kwang who propose an exchange to Jin Sang-Pil that Kwang can guide Jin Sang-Pil and his followers safely out of the mountain, which is currently surrounded by Song Mu Guild martial artists in order to catch Jin Sang-Pil and his followers, in return for the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword. Knowing that Jin Sang-Pil doesn't trust him, Kwang offer to Jin Sang-Pil give something else of equal value to the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword which was the Flame Dragon Blade to the surprise of Jin Sang-Pil who doesn't believe that the famous Flame Dragon Blade, which is the personal priceless treasure of Cheon Ma Sin Gun, is in the hands of Kwang. In addition, Jin Sang-Pil was offended by Kwang's impoliteness to refer to Cheon Ma Sin Gun as "old man" and attack Kwang as well as ordering his followers to not let Kwang and the "Handsome Swordman" escape. Pyo-Gon obediently order his Dogs of the Black Ghost to attack Kwang to which the "Handsome Swordman" tries to attack the Dogs of the Black Ghost with an ordinary sword but was repel by the Dogs of the Black Ghost's Iron Spell.

Kwang lash out at Jin Sang-Pil asking why Jin Sang-Pil and his followers are attacking him when they are in the middle of talking to which Jin Sang-Pil replies he will kill them for insulting Cheon Ma Sin Gun, ordering his followers not to show mercy. To defend himself from the Dogs of the Black Ghost, Kwang throw the box of the Flame Dragon Blade toward the Dogs of the Black Ghost.

#### The power of the Flame Dragon Blade

Biting the box of the Flame Dragon Blade prove to be a huge mistake as the Flame Dragon Blade's Hellfire Dragon Form incinerate the Dogs of the Black Ghost into nothing to the astonishment of Jin Sang-Pil who aknowledge that it is indeed the famous Flame Dragon Blade. Seeing the real Flame Dragon Blade is right in front of them, Pyo-Gon leaps toward it in order to take Flame Dragon Blade for themselves which Jin Sang-Pil tries to stop Pyo-Gon from touching the Flame Dragon Blade to no prevail as the Flame Dragon Blade immediately incinerate Pyo-Gon for touching the Flame Dragon Blade without it's consent. Jin Sang-Pil concluded that Kwang must be related to Cheon Ma Sin Gun if the famous Flame Dragon Blade is in his hands. Witnessing the death of Pyo-Gon, Kwang blames themselves for seeking their own death rather than it is Kwang's fault. Noticing Kwang's back injuries, the "Handsome Swordman" offer to take Kwang to safety but Kwang refuse claiming he will personally make Jin Sang-Pil give the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword back to "Handsome Swordman". Feeling indebted to Kwang's effort, the "Handsome Swordman" take it upon "himself" to attack Jin Sang-Pil in order to get "his" Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword back.

After a short clash between the "Handsome Swordman" and Jin Sang-Pil, Jin Sang-Pil struggles to knock the "Handsome Swordman" out of conscious. Kwang quickly intercept and punch Jin Sang-Pil's face to get Jin Sang-Pil away from the unconscious "Handsome Swordman" and attempt to carry the [[[Dam Hwa Rin|"Handsome Swordman"]] away to safety. Determine to fight Jin Sang-Pil and his followers, Kwang attempt to pick up his Flame Dragon Blade but was interrupt by Jin-Gyung who throw his flying rope dagger to wrap around Kwang's feet and disable him to the ground where Dong Woo attempt to smash Kwang with his mace but was knock back by the Black Winds.

#### The return of the Black Winds

Kwang was happy to see Hong-Kyun and the Black Winds return by his side but was amazed to see Jin Sang-Pil running away from Hong-Kyun who refer Jin Sang-Pil as Hyun Woo. Before Hong-Kyun could order the Black Winds to give chase to Hyun Woo, Kwang halt them claiming that Kwang know the area well enough that Hyun Woo can't get away from them no matter how hard Hyun Woo tries as Kwang is determine to fight Hyun Woo. Noticing how injured Kwang is, Hong-Kyun tries to persuade Kwang not to but Kwang was resolve to keep his promise to "Handsome Swordman" that Kwang will take back the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword in order to keep his words as that is Kwang's philosophy. Kwang pick up the Flame Dragon Blade despite how hot the Flame Dragon Blade is from incinerating his enemies earlier causing Hong-Kyun and the Black Winds to worry about Kwang and insist that Hyun Woo isn't someone Kwang should deal with causing Kwang to lash out against them that it is Kwang's business and he will not allow anyone else to interfere.

Learning that Kwang is one of the disciple of Cheon Ma Sin Gun, Jin-Gyung plead to Kwang out of mercy for Hyun Woo as everything Hyun Woo has done was out of loyalty for Cheon Ma Sin Gun. Annoyed Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo addressing Cheon Ma Sin Gun and Kwang with familiarity, the Black Winds wanted to punish them but was stop by Kwang, who admire their loyalty for Hyun Woo, order the Black Winds not to lay their hands on Hyun Woo's followers otherwise Kwang will not forgive the Black Winds earning the admiration of Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo but due to Kwang's pettiness to "*get things off his chest*", Kwang unleashed his fury against Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo. Before setting out, Kwang ask Hong-Kyun and the Black Winds to take the "Handsome Swordman" to safety.

#### Meeting the Master of the Northern Ice Castle

In search of Hyun Woo, Kwang dismiss the Black Winds but allow Hyun Woo's followers to accompany him. Midway, Kwang got distracted by the scent of a woman which he quickly follows and run into Bu Young who is surrounded by bandits. Attempting to run away, Bu Young quickly stop Kwang in hope to make use of Kwang against the bandits that wanted to take revenge against Bu Young for putting a lot of the bandits' friends in jail. During the confrontation between Bu Young and the bandits, Kwang was able to see "White Freezing Palm" Technique, one of the powerful skills from the North Sea Ice Castle (Neutral Force) as well as concluding Bu Young to be one scary woman.

Ku Injun, the boss of the bandits, appear to challenge Bu Young to a duel after seeing the power of Bu Young's "White Freezing Palm" Technique and ridiculing the technique to be weak which offend Dan Wu-Hyeon, the Master of the Northern Ice Castle, who appear to look for his daughter, Bu Young. Dan Wu-Hyeon challenge Ku Injun to taste the power of the "White Freezing Palm" Technique resulting Ku Injun to be frozen to death to the astonishment of Kwang.

Afterward, Dan Wu-Hyeon confront his daughter, Bu Young, as to why Bu Young stole the secret scroll of the Northern Ice Castle and ran away. Fearing for his life, Kwang attempt to excuse himself of the situation to leave. Bu Young seize the opportunity to stop Kwang and deceive Dan Wu-Hyeon that Bu Young and Kwang are lovers and that Bu Young stole the secret scroll of the Northern Ice Castle for Kwang which Kwang tries deny but fail when Bu Young continue the charade pretending to be heartbroken that it was all an one-night stand and leaving Kwang to deal with Dan Wu-Hyeon who believes every single lie of Bu Young and immediately confront Kwang. Feeling angry of Bu Young's deception, Kwang continue the charade by claiming that Kwang and Bu Young are indeed lovers and that Bu Young is pregnant with their child. Kwang boldly claim that they are very deeply passionate of each other and hopes Dan Wu-Hyeon will respect that and acknowledge Kwang as Dan Wu-Hyeon's Son-in-Law to which Dan Wu-Hyeon yield and approve. With the deception completed, Kwang attempt to excuse himself by claiming that Kwang has urgent business to deal with first before returning to the Northern Ice Castle and run away. Dan Wu-Hyeon attempts to chase after Kwang but was no match for Kwang's lightfeather body alleviating technique which left Dan Wu-Hyeon amazed that there are martial artists in Murim that could be faster than Dan Wu-Hyeon and that Dan Wu-Hyeon's supposed son-in-law is a very manly person.

After parting ways with Dan Wu-Hyeon to continue looking for Hyun Woo, Kwang link up with Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo and then stumble upon Bu Young who is surprise to see Kwang separate from Dan Wu-Hyeon and unscathed. To paid back Bu Young for the earlier deception, Kwang deceive Bu Young that Bu Young shouldn't have left Kwang and Dan Wu-Hyeon as Kwang claims Dan Wu-Hyeon doesn't have the stamina to keep up with Kwang and Bu Young should have *stay to protect such a weak old man*. Seeing that Bu Young is starting to lose composure, Kwang continue the charade by assuring Bu Young that Kwang treated Dan Wu-Hyeon very *nicely* which Bu Young rebuke those claims to be lies as her father, Dan Wu-Hyeon, is the Master of the Northern Ice Castle and has *never lost a a battle yet*. Enjoying the moment, Kwang deliver the final blow by asking confidently to Bu Young if Bu Young think that Kwang is lying resulting in Bu Young fleeing to check up on the safety of Dan Wu-Hyeon. Astonished by what Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo have heard, they ask Kwang if Kwang really fight with the legendary Master of the Northern Ice Castle to which Kwang insists that Kwang treated Dan Wu-Hyeon very *nicely* resulting Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo to be scared by what Kwang means by that.

#### Rescuing Hyun Woo

Slightly hearing Bu Young's shouting from far away that she will take revenge for Kwang's deception, Jin-Gyung curiously ask Kwang as to what the shouting was about which Kwang reassure them not to worry about it as it is *some dog must be barking somewhere* while muttering Bu Young as a *flapper*. Being more curious about Kwang, Jin-Gyung ask Kwang as to why Kwang is personally going after Hyun Woo when Kwang can easily command the Black Winds to do it instead. Kwang reply that *if Kwang don't go to such lengths, how can Kwang steal the heart of a woman who has a boyfriend* to the surprise of Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo.

Upon discovery of Hyun Woo being attack by members of the Yu Sun Guild, Kwang, Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo quickly attack the members of the Yu Sun Guild in order to rescue Hyun Woo and succeed. Surprise that Kwang and his followers are together saving him, Hyun Woo ask Kwang as to why Kwang is helping him to which Kwang if Hyun Woo isn't happy to be rescue but want to die instead which Hyun Woo insist Hyun Woo will gladly offer his life to relieve himself of his sin against Kwang, who Hyun Woo now refer to as young master because of Kwang being the disciple of Cheon Ma Sin Gun, but Kwang reject the idea claiming that Kwang doesn't have hobbies like that and that all Kwang needs is the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword back and that Hyun Woo should run away with Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo. Dejected, Hyun Woo refuse Kwang as Hyun Woo refer himself as a traitor to the Black Winds that deserve the death punishment. Sympathetic to Hyun Woo, Kwang attempt to dissuade Hyun Woo from his *grand faith* as Kwang isn't *interest in such trivial thing as faith* and rambling that one of his interest is to get married to *a wife with nice body and having a happy life* to the incomprehension of Hyun Woo who can't understand Kwang but respect the fact that Kwang was chosen by Cheon Ma Sin Gun.

#### Meeting the Guild Master of the Yu Sun Guild

While standing back and watching the conversation between Kwang and Hyun Woo , []Jin-Gyung]] notice a blue head snake approaching them and quickly alert the whole group about the snake.

Reluctant to fight, Kwang attempt to take advantage of his epithet as the disciple of Cheon Ma Sin Gun to scare Be-Hyun that Be-Hyun might die if Be-Hyun insist on fighting Kwang to which Be-Hyun reply that Be-Hyun have already decide to thrown away his life for the sake of his master, Shi Yeon, and that if Kwang wants to leave, Kwang have to take Be-Hyun's neck first. Kwang continue to attempt to bluff his way out of the situation to no prevail as Be-Hyun begins to strike at Kwang but []Jin-Gyung]] and Dong Woo intervene in order to protect Kwang. Pausing, Be-Hyun ask Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo to stay away as Be-Hyun doesn't wishes to hurt them as they all, including the dead Pyo-Gon, were former members of an elite group in Yu Sun Guild called "Amazing Four" but Jin-Gyung sharply ask Be-Hyun if Be-Hyun still haven't let go of his feelings for Shi Yeon causing Be-Hyun to hesitate to answer back. Noticing Be-Hyun's reaction, Jin-Gyung criticize Be-Hyun for being foolish because they are the "Amazing Four" of Yu Sun Guild, no matter how hard Be-Hyun tries, they are still mere servants so Shi Yeon wouldn't likely to give Be-Hyun any ounce of attention which Be-Hyun rebuke back by attacking Jin-Gyung and declaring that Be-Hyun will continue to follow Shi Yeon's orders.

Noticing how Be-Hyun appears to float in the air, Kwang curiously ask how Be-Hyun is able to do that to which Jin-Gyung reply that Be-Hyun is standing on top of Silver Wires as Be-Hyun can create somewhat of a web in the air for Be-Hyun to be able to stand on top of it and that Be-Hyun's Silver Wires are not only thin and sturdy but are also sharp enough to slice any average weapons to the dismay of Kwang as Kwang is learning the truth of that fact from first hand experience at attempting to dodge Be-Hyun's attacks, who attempts to prove to Kwang as to why Be-Hyun is known as the best of the "Amazing Four" of Yu Sun Guild, while damaging underwear that Kwang secretly stole from Hwa Rin.

#### The Air Step Techinque

Angry that his "treasure" that Kwang tried so hard to obtain, Kwang unsheathe the Flame Dragon Blade to attempt to attack Be-Hyun, who claims that it is impossible for Kwang to attack him from a far distance on the ground while is Be-Hyun floating above but is astonish as Kwang perform the Air Step Technique to come towards Be-Hyun. Concern for the safety of Kwang, Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo warns Kwang to be careful of approaching the web form up by the Silver Wires to which Kwang easily slash them away with the help of the Flame Dragon Blade to the surprise of everyone as the web is completely destroyed and proceed to attack Be-Hyun demonstrating amateur skills to the extent that Kwang miss and end up landing on the ground with his face but because of Kwang's epithet as the disciple of Cheon Ma Sin Gun, everyone misinterpreted Kwang for going easy against Be-Hyun. Concern for Kwang, Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo approach Kwang to assess if Kwang is alright which Kwang rebuke that Kwang isn't going to die easily and claims that Kwang is going to start taking the fight more seriously from now on. However, Kwang keep on attacking Be-Hyun by swinging the Flame Dragon Blade aimlessly which Be-Hyun easily dodge and reassess the situation as to why Kwang is making such awkward attacks, concluding that Kwang might not know any martial arts at all which thoughts are shared with Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo as they too feel something is wrong with Kwang's attacks because if Kwang continue like that with an injured body then Kwang will eventually lose all his energy.

Suddenly, the fight was interrupted by a huge explosion from where Hyun Woo and Shi Yeon are presume to be at. Shock by this turn of event, Be-Hyun immediately leave to find out if Shi Yeon is alright or not. Kwang attempt to stop Be-Hyun but trip over due to his clumsiness to the dismay of Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo. Noticing that Kwang must be exhausted, Jin-Gyung attempt to persuade Kwang to rest first but Kwang was eager to give chase to Be-Hyun and finish their fight so he proceed to use his lightfeather body alleviating technique to try and catch up to Be-Hyun while Jin-Gyung and Dong Woo were left behind to be amazed at Kwang's speed and determination.

#### Confronting the Song Mu Guild

Exhausted from chasing Be-Hyun, Kwang end up bumping into Yu Won-Chan and the Song Mu Guild who are in the middle of torturing Hyun Woo, who is now blinded due to Yu Won-Chan slashing his eyes, in an attempt to found out the location of the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword. Noticing the sword around Kwang's waist, Yu Won-Chan ask Kwang for confirmation if that is the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword which Kwang reply yes and ask back to Yu Won-Chan as to why Yu Won-Chan want to know while Hyun Woo shout at Kwang to run away to which Yu Won-Chan immediately throw his sword at Kwang to stop and kill Kwang. However, Kwang easily dodge the flying sword and complain back to Yu Won-Chan that his action was dangerous and rebuke that Yu Won-Chan shouldn't be throwing sword around without warning to which Yu Won-Chan is amazed at Kwang's stupidity. Attempting to regain his composure, Yu Won-Chan threaten Kwang to give him the "sword" which Kwang misinterpreted Yu Won-Chan as referring to the sword Yu Won-Chan just throw at him rather than the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword which Yu Won-Chan frustratedly shout to Kwang that he is referring to the Flower Fairy Conquering Demon Sword which Kwang laughs and rebuke to Yu Won-Chan that Kwang isn't going to give a sword that Kwang work so hard to get to Yu Won-Chan. Hyun Woo attempts to stop Yu Won-Chan and warns Kwang of the danger but was hit in the face and knock to the ground by Yu Won-Chan and give order for the Song Mu Guild to kill Kwang. Angry about the threats before him, Kwang retaliate against the Song Mu Guild, display sword skills that amazed the Song Mu Guild, and strike against Yu Won-Chan who quickly dodge the attacks and attempt to pick up his sword to fight back but instead watch Kwang flee. Yu Won-Chan immediately give orders for the Song Mu Guild to give chase against Kwang after finishing off Hyun Woo while Yu Won-Chan and his bodyguard chase after Kwang.

#### Duel against the Guild Master of Song Mu Guild

Due to how exhausted Kwang is by this point, the Song Mu Guild easily catch up to Kwang and surround him while Kwang curse himself for not knowing any martial arts and always running for his life. Left with no choice, Kwang attempt to force his way out of the ambush of the Song Mu Guild but use too much energy which left himself vulnerable for Yu Won-Chan who seize the advantage to catch up to Kwang and slash at Kwang's waist to prevent Kwang from running away. Just as Yu Won-Chan was about to deliver the killing blow, Kwang rebuke at how despicable Yu Won-Chan and the Song Mu Guild are at ganging up against one man as well as striking from behind him, questioning the honor of the Song Mu Guild of the Jung-Pa to which results in the discussion among members of the Song Mu Guild as to questioning their guild reputation. Attempting to quell the thought of how dishonorable the Song Mu Guild is, Yu Won-Chan offer to settle it with a duel between himself and Kwang which Kwang agrees to. Cautious to Kwang's abilities, Yu Won-Chan's bodyguards attempt to dissuade Yu Won-Chan from the duel but the confident Yu Won-Chan wanted to prove himself as the Guild Master of the Song Mu Guild and order the Song Mu Guild to form a circular wall around him and Kwang.

After forming up the wall around Kwang and Yu Won-Chan, the Song Mu Guild give space for them to have their duel which Kwang noticed and devise a plan to escape among the chaos after exchanging a few blows with Yu Won-Chan. Curious about Kwang's background, Yu Won-Chan ask Kwang as to who taught Kwang martial arts which Kwang replies that he has no teachers as he is a genius that learn martial arts from watching people and copying their movement. Disbelief of Kwang's answer that implying Kwang can learn something by seeing it once as Yu Won-Chan determine that all the techniques that Kwang display so far are difficult techniques that take years to master but yield that it is strange for Kwang's movements are not timed well enough to fluently use those techniques competently as if Kwang is an amateur at martial arts. Yu Won-Chan ridicule Kwang for his limited abilities as well as mentioning that Kwang is only good at running away so challenging the Guild Master of the Song Mu Guild with a lofty attitude is laughable, claiming that Yu Won-Chan will easily dispose of Kwang. Noticing Yu Won-Chan preparing to attack Kwang, Kwang attempts to halt Yu Won-Chan but Kwang was too late as Yu Won-Chan launch himself at Kwang and attack Kwang. Cornered by Yu Won-Chan's attacks, Kwang attempt to force his way out of the attack but was left vulnerable for Yu Won-Chan who seize the chance to strike at Kwang's chest which results in Kwang being heavily injured and paralyzed to the ground. Taunting Kwang by asking Kwang if he finally *know how the sky is*, implying that Yu Won-Chan is the sky, Yu Won-Chan was about to deliver the killing blow but was interrupted by a voice which Kwang recognized as Hong-Kyun who threaten to kill Yu Won-Chan and the Song Mu Guild for their disrespect to his young master, Kwang, and his former comrade, Hyun Woo.

Hui Yeon was the only woman that could keep Kwang's father under control. As Hui Yeon has died, Kwang's father gave up too and therefore, the sword demon was now able to fully take over control of the body.
