The Republic of China era's most ruthless man! He tears through the Eight Sects of the Underworld and takes on the unspoken rules of the martial world!
I, Zhou Wenqing, was born with my fate sealed by my family in the gambling dens of the martial world! The Inner Eight Sects devour people without leaving so much as a bone: the Thieves' Sect robs tombs, steals gold, and takes lives; the Thousand Doors Sect calculates every inch of the human heart. The Outer Eight Sects conceal poison like venomous insects, and even medicine, divination, astrology, and physiognomy are blades for killing. The most vicious of all, the Yin Seven Sects, claim lives in the dead of night. Shroud stitchers sew bones and souls together, while the corpse-driving bell rings to summon death!
So what if I survived nine brushes with death to rise to the high post of Official Affairs Commandant, commanding three hundred and sixty trades? The “loyalty and honor” my grandfather died defending was crushed by these chaotic times, and the “fists” my brothers believed in are nothing but the law of the jungle! This martial world is beset by troubles at home and abroad, with evil spirits all around. I'll wield blood as my blade and cleave through these man-eating rules, carving out a mad path that will make even the Eight Sects of the Underworld tremble!
