On the first day Ye Xuan came down from the mountain, he severed his pursuer's blade with a single sword strike.
The man clutched his bleeding hand. Instead of fear, his eyes fixed on the sword in Ye Xuan's hand, and he laughed with excitement.
"A swordsman? Finally, the set is complete."
That very night, Ye Xuan's name appeared on a top-secret "Martial Hunter List."
Following the list, he and Su Yingxue, the young sect leader of the Tianheng Sect, broke into an underground fight club. There were no ordinary people locked in the iron cages, only martial arts experts who had been missing for years.
Some had their inner force taken from them. Others were forced to fight each other over and over.
They weren't prisoners, but a "living martial arts manual" for Kane, leader of the overseas Gray Crown Society, to use in his attempt to break through the limits of martial arts.
The Gray Crown Society hunted experts around the world, but always followed one ironclad rule: Never touch anyone from the Ye family.
Huo Jinchuan had no idea that the young man before him, who had just come down from the mountain, was one of them.
Only then did Ye Xuan discover that Du Xingzhi, the master who taught him swordsmanship, was the greatest swordsman alive, and his mother, Qin Manqing, had long stood at the pinnacle of the extreme realm.
As for his father, Ye Tianming, who only ever called to ask whether he had enough money, he was the world's only person to have broken through the limits.
The world called him the End of Martial Arts.
After his identity was exposed, Kane released all the Tianheng Sect disciples that very night, begging the Ye family to stand down.
But Ye Xuan slapped the missing persons list down in front of him and slowly drew his sword.
"Letting my people go isn't enough."
"I'm taking everyone on that list back with me."
They hunted down the world's finest experts.
This time, the hunters would have to run.
