The Jianghu Undertaker
by 南风知雨
Lu Chen is a coffin bearer. He has a secret—every time he fulfills the last wish of a person who died a violent death, he can borrow the deceased's final move from when they were alive. An old beggar died in a ruined temple; he buried a wine gourd for the old man and obtained the world's number one sword technique that had been lost for thirty years. A nameless bladesman died on a snowy night; he delivered a letter home that could never be delivered and obtained a single slash powerful enough to cleave open a city gate. Lu Chen originally thought that his whole life would be nothing more than repaying debts for the dead. Until late one night, he took on a funeral job that paid ten times the price. In the wilderness, a black coffin, a sword stabbed into the corpse's chest. The person lying in the coffin— looked exactly like him. The corpse left only one last wish: "Kill the you from three years later." After that night, Lu Chen discovered that in this jianghu, what is truly terrifying has never been the dead. But those who have long been dead yet still walk the mortal world—the "immortals." — Description from novelcodex.org
