Sword of Coming: The Red-Haired Old Monster Gets Stronger Every Time He Dies!

The third novel in the Sword of Coming series. A gritty fight-to-the-death story, with a murderous, dark, jianghu atmosphere...

I am a red-haired monster reborn from the plateau, yet I was reborn in Red Candle Town in another world as a wretched boy named Shen Lang. From the moment I was born, my life was absurdly hard to snuff out.

The first time I died, I was trampled beneath a horse's hooves while still swaddled. I should have been reduced to a wandering soul, but the power of my red hair somehow transferred me and brought me back to life, making me an adopted son of the Shen family.

The second time I died, I fell from a roof while repairing it and broke my neck. My adoptive parents buried me before half a day had passed, then dug out my heart to use as a medicinal ingredient for their own nephew. But when I clawed my way out of the grave through the plateau's ominous power, my mind was a blank, and I had no idea how I had come back to life.

The third time I died, my adoptive father saw me alive and secretly kicked away the ladder so I would fall again. He even slashed my throat with a sickle and cut open my chest. He never expected that a new heart had already grown inside me. Red hair burst from my body, and I split his head open with a backhand strike!

The masked woman told me that every time I died, my kind thoughts would lessen, the ominous power would grow stronger, and the murderous intent toward me would deepen.

But so what?

Each time I die, my cultivation rises by a level. Every time I kill an unjust person, the blade in my hand grows keener!

Chen Ping'an has to protect Lizhu Cave Heaven. I, too, have something in my heart worth protecting...

Others say I am a fiend covered in red hair, with blood on my hands and an aura of pure ill omen. I admit it.

I am a truly bad person. I have slain evildoers and been stained with blood, but there is still a little kindness in my heart.
