Have you ever wondered whether the strangers who died in so-called “accidents” were actually prey devoured by demons?
Did you know that beneath the thousands of lights in modern cities lurk heretics who devour people to live forever?
In this desperate world, where demons can live for thousands of years while human martial artists can only burn through their lives to fight back,
who can the grieving families, clutching incomplete remains, turn to for justice?
Lu Xiao arrives with the [Heretic Hunting System].
Slay heretics, plunder their lifespan, and deduce martial arts without limit!
[Spend thirty years of a heretic's lifespan: Ground-Hugging Close Combat reaches mastery, and you grasp the art of fighting to the death!]
[Spend eight hundred years of a heretic's lifespan: Karma-Slaying Blade evolves into River-Cleaving Blade, severing the tide of demons with one stroke!]
[Spend five thousand years of a heretic's lifespan: Your mortal body is reforged into a Dragon-Tiger Furnace, and your blood and qi suppress the divine abominations of the heavens!]
The Demon-Suppression Bureau was founded in the name of “protection.” Now it has a living King of Hell who makes countless demons and heretics tremble in terror.
The higher-ups looked stricken. “This fiend-class great demon would take three of us Heavenly Dipper Lantern-Bearers burning our lives just to hold it back...”
Lu Xiao charged forward with his long blade and held one of the higher-ups back. “Hold it back? There's no need.”
“I'll gladly take those two thousand years of its life!”
The lights in people's homes don't shine on their own. Someone burns their life to keep a lantern lit for everyone.
As for me, Lu Xiao, all I do is cut my way through the darkness!
“Today, I will hold the lantern for humanity. Divine monsters, strange demons, and evil spirits ahead: cross this line, and you die!”
