Ten years ago, Shen Zhonglou, the greatest swordsman in the world, was ambushed by the Nine Sects at Taibai Tower. His blade broke, he died, and no one dared claim his body.
Ten years later, his son, Shen Que, dug that broken blade out of a mass grave.
The blade spirit awoke and uttered a single word: Kill.
From then on, the helper at a pork shop in Lin'an City stopped cutting meat and started cutting people.
With each person he cut down, his power grew. The more he killed, the more complete the broken blade became.
Shen Que hefted the blade. "My father used this blade to cleave open the martial world. Now it's my turn to cleave my way through his enemies, one by one."
