[A thrilling, ruthless blade-wielder who never hesitates to kill] [Highly recommended by an author who churns out ten thousand words a day]
“In this world, only a blade can cut the blood and tears from the poor!”
“You don't know you've done wrong. You just know you're about to die!”
…
After transmigrating to a high-martial world, he is framed by corrupt officials and merchants, saddled with a baseless charge, and thrown into death row.
In the darkness of despair, the mysterious Five-Grain Cauldron within him awakens with a roar. It refines flesh and blood, devouring cultivation! The power and talents others spend a lifetime honing are all his to wield!
…
“Are kings and nobles born to rule?!”
“I'll trample every inch of the imperial road beneath the bones of nobles, and hang the heads of the powerful all over the commander's gate.”
“This world of ours… has rotted right down to the roots!”
Aristocratic clans and powerful families rule with an iron fist, while the rich and powerful seize land and grain. People are born unequal: the poor crawl like ants, while the rich make a habit of crushing them underfoot.
“Is this world right?”
“If it isn't fair, then I'll carve justice out with my blade!”
He beheads corrupt officials, slaughters wicked magistrates, annihilates enemy clans, and wipes out demons and monsters! With nothing but a blade, he kills every person in the world who deserves to die!
…
The whole world stands against me? So what!
A fight to the death? Just what I want!
…
