Duan Xiaofei, a butcher from Linshan Town, wielded a boning knife and slaughtered pigs for seven years.
His ability to understand animal speech won him a strange fruit, but it also got him abducted to a sinister mine, where he barely escaped with his life. In a desperate bid for survival, he killed a black-robed cultivator, but after devouring the man's blood essence, he fell into the prison of his own inner demons.
Seeking purification, he hid himself away at Qingyuan Temple, hoping to wash away the bloodshed beside its lamps and ancient Buddha statues. Just as his mind began to settle, he witnessed the righteous sects slaughter every monk in the temple to seize a precious medicine. Their hypocrisy was laid bare!
In that moment, Duan Xiaofei came to understand: righteousness and evil have nothing to do with cultivation techniques; good and evil exist only in people's hearts! This cultivation world owed a reckoning in truth and blood.
From then on, the butcher entered the world of immortals and demons. His boning knife would not bother with worldly trifles; it would cut down the hypocrites of the land.
He could commune with beasts, making every creature his eyes and ears as he searched the world for every opportunity. He tempered his body with blood essence and forged a fearsome name with demonic arts, all while upholding the justice in his heart.
The righteous called him a demon. The demonic cultivators feared his cruelty. The common folk revered him as their benefactor.
With a butcher's knife in hand, he swore to rip away the painted masks of both the immortal and demonic paths and carve out a world of justice.
Though filled with demonic energy, he would protect the peace and clarity of the human world.
See how a mere butcher follows the righteous path with a demonic body, carving out a road of his own in a world where black and white have been turned upside down!
