Shen Yan, the orphan of a sword-making family in the south of the Yangtze River, was burdened with a ten-year blood feud that destroyed his family. He carried an unfinished sword from the rainy south of the Yangtze River to the snowy north. In the ruined temple outside Yanmen Pass, he met a mysterious old man with one arm and a white head - the legendary swordsman Dugu Qiufeng who once swept across the world with the "Ten Swords of Dugu" but lost his right hand due to a conspiracy.
In order to learn the swordsmanship that is enough to find out the truth, Shen Yan began the practice of "observing all things and understanding the sword": watching sparrows avoid eagles to understand the skill of breaking the sword, watching the stream breaking through the ice and understanding the method of releasing force, and gradually mastered the unique skills day by day. The "General Technique", "Breaking Sword Style" and "Breaking Sword Style" of Gu Shi Sword... The improvement of each sword technique is a profound understanding of "the sword is not a weapon, but a protective gear", and it is also a difficult balance between the obsession with revenge and the original intention to protect.
With the repeated appearance of pursuers at Zhujian Villa, clues to the massacre that year gradually emerged - the death of Shen Yan's father, Dugu Qiufei's broken arm, and the legendary "Leng Yue Sword" that can suppress resentful spirits. They were all entangled in the same conspiracy. From the foggy swamps to the dangerous snowy mountains, from the disputes in the market to the secrets of the world, Shen Yan holds the broken sword and uses the "break" and "defend" of the Dugu Ten Swords to split the fog in the light and shadow of the sword. In the tests of life and death, he understands that "the end of the sword is not invincibility, but loneliness that no one can understand", and finally lives the way he wants to protect the world.
The whole book is based on "swordsmanship practice" and "jianghu friendship" as the soul. It not only has the unrestrained joy of Dugu's ten swords "breaking the world's moves", but also the young man's recovery.
