Ironclad Beetles: King of Blade, Fate's Design

The first-generation Sacred Beast Team, including Chi Yan Chen Xing, Kai Jia Yuan Zhen, and Gang Tie Long, won the championship at the Royal Invitational Tournament. The champions would not only earn the title of the nation’s strongest Blade-Wielding Racer, but could also become prime minister and assist the king in governing the country.

They could be called The Outcast, second only to one and above countless others.

The first-generation Sacred Beast Team’s formidable strength crushed Zhu Ye Qing’s dream of becoming prime minister of the Beetle Kingdom, leaving him consumed with resentment.

For the sake of power and ambition, Zhu Ye Qing sent the Devil Team, a group of former professional assassins, to murder the first-generation Sacred Beast Team.

In the end, some members of the first-generation Sacred Beast Team were killed, while others fled. Zhu Ye Qing forged evidence that the Sacred Beast Team had plotted a rebellion. Thanks to his supposed role in clearing their name, he got his wish and became prime minister.

But a few months later, at the professional championship, the Wu Ling Team, which had been eliminated in the semifinals of the Royal Invitational Tournament, defeated the Devil Team and claimed the professional championship.

Wu Ling Team captain Qiu Yun He thus earned the new title of the nation’s strongest Blade-Wielding Racer.

But their good fortune did not last. Mo Wang, a subordinate of Zhu Ye Qing, wanted to become the strongest Blade-Wielding Racer.

He had thought that with Chi Yan Chen Xing dead, no one could defeat him. Qiu Yun He proved to be the exception.

Zhu Ye Qing had no intention of getting involved, since he had already become prime minister.

But Mo Wang held a grudge and acted on his own. He ordered Shi Xue, a veteran member of the Devil Team, to lead his men in wiping out the Wu Ling Team, killing Qiu Yun He and chasing his wife and child to the edge of a cliff.

At the last moment, Qiu Yun He’s wife, Xia Shu Huai, sent their young son, Qiu Yun Xiao, to the Chi Yan family in Camellia Village. She was then killed by the assassins.
