Xiao Jian, the first three-division champion in UFC history and a master of the ancient martial arts Bajiquan and Xingyiquan, transmigrates.
One misstep, and he becomes Xiao Wuji, a wandering swordsman from the Western Regions. His ancestors were renowned generals of the Northern Zhou, but now his family has fallen on hard times and makes a living escorting caravans.
He'd planned to enjoy a carefree life, relying on his “knowledge of what's to come,” but instead he runs into the toughest people of the age:
Dao Ma, the second-most-wanted fugitive in the empire, with an entire martial world in his arsenal. Di Ting, a cold-blooded assassin whose life has been shackled by obsession. Old Mo, a clan chief who knows he's headed for death but still protects those behind him. He Xuan, a childhood friend driven mad by a prophecy, who slaughtered the entire clan of the one he loved. And Yanzi Niang, the woman wearing five jin of shackles who lives more freely than anyone else.
He knows how every one of them will end up.
He wants to save them all.
But gradually, he realizes that some people choose to face death not because they have no other choice, but because that is the life they have chosen to live.
“To do what cannot be done, knowing it cannot be done, is chivalry. To face certain death, knowing you will die, is righteousness.”
This escort mission isn't about protecting Zhi Shilang. It's about staying true to his own path.
Here you'll find Dao Ma, Tian Anye, Cheng Yi, Pei Xing...
The martial world is vast. I can't change the heavens, and I can't defy fate.
So let us witness together how these heroes, who “face certain death, knowing they will die,” live the way they want to.
