    There's no system; time travel is just the prelude. The martial arts choreography is mysterious and spectacular. The demonic creature approached a monk, extending its withered, dark claws to scratch his face. The monk quickly used his magical artifact to protect himself. The claws touched the artifact, and a puff of white smoke rose from it. The demonic creature dared not scratch again, instead opening its maw to reveal a pair of black fangs over an inch long, letting out a shrill scream at the monk. Upon hearing this, the monk trembled violently, his body shaking like a leaf, and he could no longer hold onto his artifact, which fell to the ground. The demonic creature cackled, spewing out a plume of black smoke like an arrow, enveloping the monk's head. The black smoke, as if alive, contracted and wriggled on his head. The monk let out a few hoarse sounds, his body convulsing violently, and he collapsed to the ground. The demon inhaled sharply, and a faint human figure struggled to be pulled from the monk's body by the black smoke. The black smoke enveloped the figure, stretching it longer and longer until the entire figure was pulled out of the monk's body and floated into the demon's mouth. The demon chuckled a few times, its black aura becoming even denser and more solid, and its body swelled up. Looking at the monk again, his soul had been devoured by the demon; his face was drained of color, turning ashen, his eyes wide open, empty and lifeless. He collapsed, already dead.

    Reader note

    This is a story of a young man and a knife. In the hands of those in power, a knife represents power and life and death. In the hands of a wandering swordsman, a knife represents chivalry and solitary courage. And what about in the hands of an ordinary young man? A rare dark and ancient martial arts novel among popular online works, a legendary tale set in a chaotic world, full of ancient charm, it's old wine in new bottles. It has a fantasy exterior but a martial arts core—profound, nuanced, and worthy of careful consideration. The story begins with a family of executioners, focusing on the son of an executioner. It tells the story of the rules and taboos of the execution profession, connecting cases and the lives of ordinary people in a fictional era, reflecting the struggles and hardships of those at the bottom of society. The main conflict is the various forms of confrontation. The conflict between the court and the people: The world is in chaos, the people are suffering, and uprisings break out everywhere; the conflict between the banished immortals and the natives: Immortals from beyond the heavens come to this land to play, but there are also those who wreak havoc, treating the natives as mere playthings; the conflict between the legitimate and the barbarians: The Li Dynasty, having entered the Central Plains from beyond the Great Wall, claims legitimacy, while the Yi Dynasty seeks restoration, colluding with foreign tribes to try and drive out the "intruder" Li Dynasty. All of this is connected from the perspective of an ordinary person. The protagonist's life is turbulent, adrift like a duckweed, his only reliance being the knife in his hand. The author ultimately wants to illustrate that everything is in opposition, but also reversible, constantly changing. Seize the moment, make the right choices!

    Meanwhile, Master Liu, following the orders of the Prefect, rode to Qin Yangfeng's father, Qin Shang, at the Tiger-Catching Manor in the east of the city to relay the Prefect's instructions. Qin Shang already knew about the matter and was secretly alarmed to see the Prefect send someone to question and apologize. As the saying goes, "The poor don't fight the rich, and the rich don't fight the officials." He assumed the Prefect was angry and serious about the matter, so he quickly bribed Master Liu with a silver note, asking him to speak kindly to Qin Shang. Master Liu accepted the note and left. Qin Shang, now fifty-two, was still remarkably vigorous. Before his rise to prominence, he was a deliveryman at the freight yard in the east of Hangzhou. Although he knew some martial arts, he married young and, after becoming a father, worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk to support his family. Coincidentally, in his youth, he had once saved a dying man on the street. After recovering from his serious injuries, the man, to repay his life-saving kindness, gifted him over a thousand taels of gold. Qin Shang used this substantial capital to build his fortune, becoming one of the wealthiest men in Hangzhou within three years. He amassed a fortune, supporting over a hundred people in and around his estate, truly living a life of luxury. His wife, Lady Wei, had passed away from illness ten years prior, and Qin Shang, deeply grieving for his virtuous wife, never remarried. He had two sons. His eldest son, Qin Shaofeng, was thirty-one or thirty-two years old, with a slender and refined appearance, honest and unassuming, and not fond of competition. He followed in his father's footsteps, trading in silk. Qin Shaofeng had married a wife from a prominent family in the city. Her surname was Cai, and her given name was Yuqing. She was the same age as her husband and they had a son and a daughter. Their son was named Qin Hua, and their daughter Qin Fang, both around seven or eight years old. Cai Yuqing was the daughter of a military officer, having practiced swordsmanship and martial arts from a young age. With a Mulan-like character, she was forthright and straightforward. She came from a wealthy family.
