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.
"Torches, light up this area! Archers, don't slack off. Fighters, be ready and surround the area by ten layers." Chu Yang gave out one order after the other, "Block here, here, here and here. Don't let the water flow out and escape."
"Boss, even if there are people hiding inside, why can't you wait till morning to catch them? Isn't it a bit too much of a rush to do it right now?" Ji Mo frowned.
"If there are actually people hiding inside, they are King level masters!" Chu Yang said casually, "Moreover, they are currently injured. Nevertheless, King level masters are able to recover at a very quick pace. I am sure you are already aware of this. Through this one night, if the King level masters recover even a slight bit more of their fighting strength, our side would lose significantly more soldiers! Being unable to avoid such a large loss of more unnecessary deaths of our soldiers, it would be the failure of the person in command!"
