Nie Ge

Nie Ge is a master swordsman and former Qin assassin who leaves the empire at a friend's request to care for the friend's son, Jing Tianming. A prodigy trained at Gui Gu alongside rival Wei Zhuang, he earns the title “Sword Saint” and is renowned for the Hundred Steps Flying Sword technique. Reserved in manner but highly protective of Tianming, he teaches that true strength means helping the weak rather than fighting merely to prove oneself.
