At sixteen, Lu Chuan took down Wu Feiyue of Heavenly Sword Manor with a single stroke, becoming the greatest under heaven.
He climbed to the top of the martial world over the corpses of sixty-six experts, only to plunge into an abyss on his birthday. When he returned home, the Lu residence was brightly lit, but all that remained was the bloodied bodies of his loved ones.
The world called him a madman and said he had it coming.
That is, until a hotheaded young man named Zhang Wanli stumbled upon him beside thirty corpses.
“I didn’t kill them,” Lu Chuan said with a cold smile as he wiped his blade. “But the blade that did was mine.”
The Lamp-less Pavilion, dormant for five years, emerges from the shadows. The former dynasty’s crown prince stirs the martial world with the “Thirteen Annihilation Slashes.”
Once the greatest under heaven, Lu Chuan has become a pawn. The truth behind the Lamp-less Pavilion, the new dynasty, and the martial sects is tangled like a web, while Lu Chuan’s blade is poised at the throat of the conspiracy
**“What use is being the greatest under heaven?”**
**“To kill those who deserve to die.”**
