Man... this wasn't a good setup at all... the battle was okay, the redemption thing was okay... but all the other stuff... was quite meaningless... could barely keep my focus on it which spanned for chapters... it was really bad, would've much preferred just reading more about his daily life working in the dumpling shop and unravel the mystery around Yerin and Mom along with how Baekma Valley is related to the Heavenly Destroyer disciple since the new leader seems to have some kind of bias towards him. All this revenge arcs just don't seem interesting at all with how it has been executed so far, everything is blown out of proportions, he keeps meeting people stronger and stronger and stronger and etc... it's like the author has to keep making the battles more destructive than before, might as well just pull a Dragonball stunt at some point where they gather the power of the world and destroy half of it. It's less of martial arts and kungfu now, it's more of shouting out moves like in as if it means anything and we are supposed to know that it obviously triumphs over this other shouted move... I much preferred the 1st half of this manhwa where it was trying to tell some story each time while leaking a bit of the main story chapter by chapter!
honestly the part upto beating the demon was fine, there were power spam parts but there were genuinely interesting and martial arts parts too or rather that's what most of them were, and the emotional conflict behind the power spam was good enough, and the assassin old men were wonderful
one disciple being decent was great too but the way mc's want for revenge manifested and his eventual reluctance, all felt written very out of character and somehow stretched out because of it,
and i'm fine with the others being alive, but the foreshadowing wasn't good enough, neither was there any reasoning or added possibility behind it all in any sense, it felt sloppy and totally out of place, only as a last minute effort to stretch the story.
