Tomb Raider: The Descent of Bai Ze

A soldier, an actor, and a swindler; a King of Hell, a rogue, and a smiling Buddha; a beauty, a master strategist who can command the board; and the ruthless Emperor Ye. Do not provoke him.

Within the Nine Gates, all sorts of people display their extraordinary talents. The "Beauty" relies on her peerless looks and power of seduction to maneuver among the various factions, seeking to control the situation. The "Strategist" excels at plotting; astronomy, geography, and the will of the people all fall within his plans, and every move he makes can send shockwaves through the martial world. The "Master of the Board" is even more like a god at play, using heaven and earth as the board and all living things as pieces, controlling the balance between the factions. Yet even so, this visitor from another world still stood out, becoming the master of the Tenth Gate, beyond the Nine Gates, with an unstoppable momentum, and forging a legend of his own.
