Sword Cultivators are unmatched in their killing prowess, a rule that has formed within the cultivation world since time immemorial. Thus, they uphold principles of the sword heart like "I'd rather die standing than live kneeling," and "Forge ahead bravely, without regret even in a hundred deaths."
The sword heart is the core of a Sword Cultivator's cultivation.
Therefore, the greatest fear of any Sword Cultivator is the tarnishing of their sword heart.
To ensure that their sword heart is clear and unobstructed, some Sword Cultivators do not hesitate to personally kill all their kin and friends, under the belief that there is none under the heavens who cannot be slain with a single stroke of their sword.
Masters, fellow disciples, brothers, parents, and beloved ones can all become nourishment for the sword in their hands!
