Rebirth of a Martial Arts Master: Bloodbath in Sakura City

Eighty years ago, on Canglong Mountain, Chen Lie, head of the Baji Sect in Yanzhou, was ambushed and killed on a stormy night by Takagi Ichiro while protecting a sheepskin list recording the crimes of thirty-seven war criminals. The Huajin grandmaster and his thirty-seven disciples all perished on that desolate mountain. Eighty years later, in Sakura City, international student Lin Yuan is pushed off a subway platform and dies without a whisper. The police rule it an "accident," and the media collectively stays silent—because he uncovered something he shouldn't have: the grandfather of Congressman Takagi Masao was the very butcher from Canglong Mountain. In the morgue, Chen Lie opens his eyes. Two lifetimes of memories, one broken body. In his past life, he was a Huajin grandmaster whose fists shook mountains and rivers; in this life, he is a weak scholar everyone can bully. But when the Takagi family's lackeys once again press a blade to his throat, Chen Lie smiles. Baji Quan, every punch to the flesh. Blood sakura, every blossom claiming a life. Starting from the first blood sakura at the chemical plant, Chen Lie steps on the spines of the war criminals' descendants, advancing step by step into the darkest core of Sakura City. The Five Great Families, the Sakura Society, the Bloodline Legion... those wealthy clans built on war gold, those beasts who falsify history, those jackals hiding under suits—he will uproot them one by one. "The thirty-seven lives your grandfather owes—I'll collect them all, principal and interest." In this life, he will not be a saint. He will be the King of Hell. — Description from novelcodex.org
