I accidentally found this gem donghua and binged it in one sitting. The style of animation is 2.5D (3D cel shaded). The art style take some getting used to due to the coarse drawing style, but if you've seen the likes of The Kingdom S1, Kengan Asura and can adapt to it, you should give this a try. The action scene in this show blew me away.

The story and plot is 'seemingly' simple and straightforward, every episode the MC fights through each opponent as he trace to the mastermind for his final revenge. At the beginning of each episode is a little bit of the past reveal.

The soundtrack, bgm, OP and ED are all very well done and matches the 'Jianghu' theme well.

The reason I call this a gem is because the action is one of the best I've seen in donghua (and anime) in this decade. If you enjoy watching martial arts fight, the choreography, sound effects, and directing will astound you. You can almost feel the blast and impact in every punch and kick, in every clash of weapons. The fight is very fast pace yet every move can be seen clearly. You would think the fight gets boring but each opponent the MC face is different, you have sword fights, spear fights, fist fights, bamboo fights. each one is breathtaking.

Produced by a small animation studio, you can feel the passion and dedication they pour into this project.

I highly recommend this. A kind soul translated it properly in English, so you don't have to worry about nonsensical MTL subtitles. Just google for it.
