After Escaping Prison, I Slashed My Way Through the World of Water Margin

[Historical what-if] [No System] [Decisive and ruthless] [Water Margin power struggle] [Unrivaled protagonist]

Hong Xin has a very, very long dream in death row. When he wakes, he discovers that more than fifty years have passed, and he has gone from a strong young man to a white-haired old man.

Determined to bring back his family, who were executed on Emperor Renzong’s orders, he breaks out of prison. From that moment on, he sets out to collect the star souls of the 108 fiends of the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends.

But to his dismay, he has no idea who the true fiends are, nor any way to tell them from impostors.

He suspects Gao Qiu is a fiend, so he beats Gao Qiu to a pulp!

Then he suspects Fang La, so he kills Fang La himself!

He even suspects the emperor of the Liao dynasty, so he leads his followers into the Liao imperial palace...

Along the way, he makes one wrong guess after another and cuts down anyone in his path, while also punishing corrupt officials, eliminating tyrants, executing treacherous ministers, and quelling rebellions!

In the end, the star souls of the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends return to their rightful places, and Hong Xin ascends to the upper realm to bring his family back to life!
