In the troubled years of the Great Jing, the jianghu was thrown into chaos. Li Cangxiong, master of the Lie Feng Pavilion, waged ruthless campaigns and united the martial world of the Central Plains. With overwhelming force, he defied the will of Heaven and monopolized the world’s fortune, crushing all rivals and claiming dominion over the jianghu. The order of the troubled times was locked in place. The people were left homeless, and no force remained to keep him in check. Everyone believed his iron-fisted dominion would never be broken.
No one knew that in the ruined, desolate city of Yunliang, two seeds destined to defy Heaven had lain dormant for five years.
Ten-year-old Ling Lie and Su Han were both rootless orphans whose families had been destroyed. They struggled to survive amid the storms and snow of a chaotic age, separated by circumstance and strangers to each other. Ling Lie bore the Pure Yang Blazing Dao Bone, proud and unyielding, rising against the odds in the face of despair. Su Han possessed the Silent Annihilation Iceheart Dao Body, cool and composed, with unfathomable reserves. Both were once-in-ten-thousand-years martial prodigies, twin figures fated to counterbalance tyranny. Their origins had been concealed by Heaven, and they remained hidden among ordinary people.
After five years in hiding, the secrets of fate finally came to light. The compass of the Lie Feng Pavilion stirred, precisely locating the twin stars of ice and fire. The twins’ emergence shook the ruling power. Seeing their peerless talents and fates that defied destiny, Li Cangxiong began to scheme. He sought to tame these two calamities sent by Heaven and turn them into weapons to secure his dominion.
Blazing fire can burn away the darkness of a troubled age; ice can quell the slaughter of the martial world. A lone fighter is too weak to challenge a towering tyranny, but two blades united can overturn the order of the world.
When the two strangers, fated to meet, finally cross paths, the game of defying destiny, dormant for five years, begins in earnest. With no powerful allies, no inheritance, and no shortcuts, they wield the strength of their young, solitary souls as blades. They trample the dust beneath their feet and defy tyranny, carving a path through the chaos to break the deadlock and set the world right!
This is my first time writing a novel. The plot may be a bit slow at the beginning, but not later. I will work hard to write better articles for you dads to read and listen to. [Salute]
