A Journey Through the Jianghu

To achieve supremacy over the world, Tianzun, leader of the Supreme Alliance, heard a rumor from the martial world: "Whoever gets the Dragon-Slaying Saber commands the world. Without the Phoenix Blood, who could rival them?" The sixteen-character prophecy drove him to hunt down the saber and sword. He slaughtered his way across the land, eventually taking young Ao Jian and Jiang Xiaodao under his wing. With the weapons' help, Tianzun's ambitions advanced ever more smoothly. Time passed, and his hunger for power only grew. Then a fortune-teller delivered a prophecy: "When saber and sword unite, life and death are fate." Tianzun began to distrust Ao Jian and Jiang Xiaodao, keeping them at arm's length and fretting over what they might do. He schemed to marry Tianyue, whom Jiang Xiaodao loved, to his eldest disciple Wushuang. But Tianyue secretly loved Ao Jian, driving the two men apart, and she died protecting Ao Jian. Both men then left the Supreme Alliance and wandered the martial world. During their travels, Ao Jian was egged on by his childhood friend Jian Chi to seek revenge on Tianzun for his father's murder, while Jiang Xiaodao's resentment grew as Tianzun continued to hound him. In the end, Jiang Xiaodao accidentally obtained the Dragon Soul Saber, and Ao Jian acquired the Phoenix Blood Sword. Together, they faced Tianzun in a battle to the death at the Supreme Alliance.
