Transcending the Nine Heavens
Chu Yang, the Ninth Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, sacrificed almost everything he had for the sake of improving his martial arts, including the love of his life. After spending three years locating the fifth fragment of the Nine Tribulations Sword, he was ambushed by all sides at that very place. Mortally injured with no means of escape, Chu Yang executed a sacrificial technique by plunging the Nine Tribulations Sword into his very own heart. “With the blood of my heart, ten thousand tribulations will collapse!” After witnessing the death of all his ambushers, Chu Yang’s vision began to darken. At a distance, moments before his death, he saw the mastermind who had plotted his downfall — Mo Tian Ji. With that, his eyes finally closed. However, with a start, Chu Yang once again awoke to find that he had returned to when he was sixteen years of age! Furthermore, the Sword Spirit of the Nine Tribulations Sword now resided within his Dantian, the energy center of his body! From that very moment, Chu Yang would then begin to right all of his past regrets, and carve his very own legend by fulfilling his destiny as the final Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, and defeating the Heavenly Devils beyond the realm of the Nine Heavens Continent.
Kill Him And I'll Kill Him.
The commander held hostage by Chu Yang remained unconscious, oblivious to the events transpiring around him.
Chu Yang did not intend to kill him.
He was not afraid of killing people; it was a task which he did not find particularly difficult. Rather, he was more concerned about getting out of his current predicament and avoiding any possible danger, as well as confirming his suspicions about where his enemies were from!
Chu Yang guessed that they were probably from Iron Cloud! More specifically, they were likely Prince Tie Butian's Dead Warriors.
They were the only ones who wanted to prevent Du Shi Qing from reaching Iron Cloud! That was because if Du Shi Qing miraculously restored Tie Shi Cheng's health, the Iron Cloud country would be trapped by the perilous situation of having two kings.
