Blade in Hand, I Conquer the World: From the Mines to the Pinnacle of Martial Arts

[System, Ruthless, Leveling Up, Power Fantasy, Ensemble Cast, Political Intrigue]

My name is Lu Ya. Outsiders call me “Liang Nianban.” Some call me a “fiend” or a “madman.”

The Zhou family has offered a thousand taels of gold for my head. Assassins from the Bloodshadow Tower are watching me from the shadows, and even the imperial court's Xuanyuan Bureau wants to turn me into one of their weapons.

But none of them know that not long ago, I was just a slave in the Blackstone Mine, so insignificant that even my name was nearly forgotten.

When I was driven to the brink and awakened the System called “Slaughter,” I understood one thing:

In this world, mercy and compromise are useless.

If I want to survive and reclaim everything that belongs to me, I can only kill!

I'll carve a bloody path forward and fight my way to a future!

I'll climb to the heavens above, make gods and Buddhas close their eyes, and force the rules to change for me!

[The Jianghu in Their Eyes]

A down-and-out old man plays a painfully off-key erhu on a street corner, but his music holds the tragic song of a dynasty.

An innocent demoness toys with deadly poison insects in the southern frontier. Beneath her smile lies a chaos that knows no good or evil.

A disillusioned captain polishes his cold saber in the northern frontier, waiting for a chance to break the stalemate.

[The Jianghu in My Eyes]

Others cultivate through hard training. I do it by killing!

Slaughter points, give me more! Techniques, cultivation levels, moves... As long as I have enough slaughter points, I'll level them all up!

Think my cultivation level is too low? [Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've advanced to Rank Eight!]

Think my technique is too weak? [Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've obtained an Earth-Rank body-tempering technique!]
