A bloody night fire on the banks of the Yangtze River made Jiang Talang, the tracker's son, an orphan. The half of "Treading the Waves" that his parents guarded with their lives became the only clue for him to embark on the road of revenge. The lame old man who lived in seclusion on Jiangxin Island opened the door to the world for him - the set of "iron legs floating on water" that had been lost for a hundred years not only allowed him to walk on the rough seas, but also turned his legs into sharp weapons that could penetrate gold and crack rocks.
After three years of hard training on an isolated island, Jiang Talang broke into Yangzhou City with a pair of iron legs. The arrogance of the Black Wind Gang and the bloody and tearful accusations of the dock workers ignited his long-dormant anger. When he first showed his talents, he kicked the bully's knee to pieces, and also kicked off the undercurrent of the world: the bold escort's warning, the drug shop girl's warmth, and the word "Xuanwu" on the mysterious token, gradually pieced together the truth about the murder of his parents - this was not a simple robbery, but a huge conspiracy related to the turmoil of the government and the opposition.
When the Xuanwu Society's snake letter was revealed under the official robe of the Yangzhou magistrate, and when the one-eyed wolf raised his butcher's knife again, Jiang Talang finally understood: the real strong man is not a butcher who takes revenge. He came riding on the vast waves, and his iron legs stirred up not only waves, but also a storm of justice that washed away the darkness. From the forbearing young man on the isolated island to the awe-inspiring "iron leg" in the world, he will eventually understand the ultimate true meaning of "floating on the water" through the tempering of blood and fire - letting every step he takes on the waves become the power to protect living beings.
