The story begins with the chivalrous brotherhood sworn in the Peach Garden, builds to the three heroes' clash with Lü Bu at Hulao Pass, then reaches its climax in the battle of fire and water at Red Cliffs. Classic events from the Three Kingdoms are transformed into martial-world feuds and choices of chivalry. Here, political scheming demands more than clever plans: it takes martial skill, too. Loyalty and righteousness are more than vows; they must be upheld amid flashing blades. The various factions are both political powers and martial sects. Names like Wolong Manor, the Jiangdong Sword Sect, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry resound throughout the martial world. Their conflicts determine not only who will rule the land, but also the balance between good and evil in the martial world.
