Martial Arts and Immortal Heroes in Republican-Era Shanghai

A thrilling tale of dual cultivation! Fists shake the foreign concessions, swords cut down Japanese sorcery.

In the Shanghai of the Republic of China, undercurrents roil with flashes of blades.

Dai Feng, a martial arts prodigy, punches his way through a chaotic age, only to grasp an immortal's true teachings in a deathmatch arena.

Lei Yao, the last survivor of an immortal sect, carries the blood feud of her massacred clan. Blue ghostly flames flare from the talismans in her palm.

When Iron Palm smashes open a Green Gang casino and sword-flying arts sever a Japanese onmyoji's shikigami, the two meet in the foreign concessions, where neon lights mingle with a haze of blood.

A thousand-year-old demon core lies hidden among the corpses at Zhabei Wharf, while soul-stealing paper dolls haunt the Great World Ballroom. Dai Feng's Tiger-Form Pigua tears apart Japanese warriors rebuilt with biological enhancements, while Lei Yao forms hand seals and summons a thunderstorm from the highest heavens.

The martial arts reach perfection; the immortal path advances through Foundation Establishment and Golden Core. See how the heirs to these two supreme arts ride the murky waves of the Huangpu River and uncover the mystery of the Dragon-Suppressing Nail buried thirty zhang beneath the foreign concessions...
