Twenty years after the spiritual qi revival, beneath the neon-lit modern cities, rifts teeming with monsters are everywhere and ferocious beasts run rampant. Humanity is already on the brink of ruin.
The martial arts clans and official martial arts academies sit high above the rest, proclaiming themselves righteous. They avoid battles with monsters, put their own safety first, and care only about chasing fame and bullying the weak.
The only exception is Lin Ji, who wields the most vicious divine weapon of the age: the Thousand-Blade Demon Saber.
This saber only attacks and never defends. No move can withstand it, and it is the natural nemesis of every demon and ferocious beast!
One slash shatters a rift, a thousand blades slay ten thousand monsters. He defeats foes far stronger than himself and has never lost!
But people cannot tell good from evil. They only fear the demon saber's overwhelming murderous aura.
Alone, he slays the monsters lurking in the night and protects countless homes, yet instead of respect and gratitude, he gets a nationwide manhunt and a siege by the so-called righteous. He is condemned for all time as the one who brought demons and monsters into the world.
Everyone says he has become a demon wielding his saber, bringing chaos to the city.
No one knows that he bears the sins of slaughter on his own shoulders, taking on all the bloodshed and calamities of the human world in place of every self-proclaimed righteous faction.
With a righteous heart, the demon saber serves Heaven's justice. With an evil heart, the righteous become monsters.
If the righteous cannot accept someone who wields a blade, then I will cut down every illusion with a thousand blades and use the demon saber to protect all living things!
From that day on, in the city's dark nights, the thousand blades leave their sheaths and ten thousand monsters bow their heads!
The world fears the demon saber's viciousness. I alone wield it to protect the peace of this world, year after year!
