Executioner: My Spiritual Practice Depends Entirely on Beheading

Executioner Chen Yuan, whose family has been passed down for three generations, specializes in sending people on their way. There are three rules of non-contact in the industry: don't be concerned with cause and effect, don't honor your last wishes, and don't look at the eyes of death row prisoners. He thought he would abide by the old laws for the rest of his life, until he beheaded the young death row prisoner named Xia Qi on the execution ground, breaking a taboo. From that day on, black words began to float in Chen Yuan's eyes, and there were strange marks in his palms that could not be erased. He discovered that every time he killed a person, he could take away their deepest obsession before death and refine it into a "method" for his own use. During the rise and fall of the torture knife, thousands of obsessions are added to the body like the fire of karma. Kill corrupt officials to gain the lust for power; kill resentful souls to bear the fire of revenge; kill evil spirits to consume thousands of years of madness. Killing all sentient beings along the way, he was confused. What exactly is the path that I am cultivating?
