"Kill a man every ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles.
The deed done, he sweeps his clothes and goes, hiding his power and his name!"
These lines were written by Li Bai, a famous poet from Duan Lingtian's hometown in his past life.
Besides being hailed as the "Poet Immortal," Li Bai was also an exceptional swordsman. Armed with just a sword, he wandered the ends of the earth, living a life of absolute unconstraint between heaven and earth.
With a few minor tweaks, Li Bai's verses were a fitting description of what Duan Lingtian had just done to rescue Huang Qiling:
A single thought claims several lives, a sword shrieks like a blooming epiphyllum.
The deed done, he sweeps his clothes and goes, hiding his power and his name!
