Cold iron shackles cannot restrain his boundless hatred. When Li Changfeng, an exiled disciple of Wudang, touches the blood groove of a broken sword in death row, a Grandmaster-level sword intent erupts within him.
He creates the Nineteen Prison Swords himself and cleaves open his cage, only to find wanted notices from the Eight Great Sects plastered across the Nine Provinces.
Jianghu swordsman Jiang Qingshu arrives with strong liquor to help him, while Ji Wanrou, daughter of a divine physician, seals the deadly poison in his meridians with silver needles. The three set out together for the Grandmaster Sword Trial Platform.
From a third-rate martial artist to the man who held the Jianghu beneath his sword for twenty years, Li Changfeng raises his prisoner's robe as a banner and uses his three-foot blade to shatter the secret arts of the Eight Great Sects. Only then does he learn that the massacre of his family years ago began with a bloodstained Taiji pattern atop Wudang Mountain.
