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.
These two pieces of information were transmitted one after another. Chu Yang and Mo Tianji were left stunned after they listened to the first piece of information…
Gu Duxing and Dong Wushang had joined hands together, and had destroyed the two brothers of the Ao Clan — Ao Qing Yun and Ao Feng Yun!
Ao Qing Yun's heart was pierced by Gu Duxing's sword. And, Ao Feng Yun was chopped into two by Dong Wushang's saber!
Mo Tianji cussed when he saw this message, "You say… aren't these two brothers of ours truly very valiant? Otherwise, how would they have slaughtered those two boys… those two so-called great geniuses?"
Chu Yang spat saliva on the floor, and said, "Brother Mo, why do you have such resentment towards these two geniuses? A person being talented in martial studies doesn't mean that they will be adept at battle strategies too. After all, stratagem surpasses all kind of talents… Every genius of one subject is bound to be naïve in another."
