At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the orphan Dugu was accepted as a disciple by the "Sword God" Zhuo Bufan, and he learned swordsmanship in Changbai Mountain. Since Zhuo Bufan was defeated at the hands of Xu Zhu decades ago, he has always been brooding about it until he died in depression. Before his death, he set the Fourth Level Sword Realm for Dugu.
At the age of eighteen, Dugu defeated the heroes of Heshuo with a sharp sword, and was known as the "Sword Demon". Later, he obtained the Ziwei soft sword, but accidentally injured his best friend Shangguan Jiannan in the Iron Palm Gang. He regretted abandoning the sword and went to Potuo Island in the East China Sea to practice internal strength with the old man Guixu. Three years later, he came out of the mountain with the black iron heavy sword.
At the age of twenty-five, Dugu defeated masters such as Murong Fu, Master Nagarjuna, and Ouyang Lie in a row, and had a decisive battle with Xu Zhu in the Lingjiu Palace. He finally realized that "no sword is better than a sword" and avenged his master's shame. During this period, he met Mei Aoxue in Tianshan Mountain and fell in love with each other.
During the Jingkang Incident, the Jin soldiers invaded the south. Dugu no longer sought defeat, escorted refugees thousands of miles away, fought three thousand golden soldiers with one man and one sword, and saved tens of thousands of people. He helped Han Shizhong and Yue Fei fight against the Jin soldiers and formed a deep friendship.
Yue Fei was wronged and imprisoned. Dugu wanted to escape from prison and rescue him, but Yue Fei declined and asked him to take care of his family. After Yue Fei's death, Dugu rescued his young son Yue Ting and lived in seclusion in the mountains to teach Yue Ting and another female apprentice An Ning the swordsmanship. Yue Ting was burdened with a blood feud, studied hard, and became a master of swordsmanship.
Eight years later, Yue Ting came down to inherit his father's ambition, and Aning also came down to pursue his career. From then on, Dugu hid in the deep valley, became friends with the divine eagle, buried his sword in the grave, and left an inscription: "I have traveled across the rivers and lakes for more than thirty years... I have been looking for an opponent in my life and can't get it. I am really lonely and embarrassed."
Many years later, Yang Guo was guided by the divine eagle to find the sword tomb and obtained the black iron epee, starting a legend of a generation of heroes. Dugu Qiufeng proves the Tao with his sword and the knight with his heart. His righteousness of saving the common people and passing on the fire will remain in the world forever.
