Background / History

Su Chen enters the provided story as a bounty-driven martial artist, beheading Tian Boguang, a Minor Grandmaster lecher, with a single saber strike and immediately demanding payment from the Zhao Residence 13. Afterward, he loots Tian Boguang’s manuals, including the Gale Saber Technique and Three Stacks of Clouds, but dismisses them as inferior to his own skills 14.

At Liu Manor, Su Chen receives 100,000 taels from Liu Zhengfeng, converts the silver into Martial Arts Points, buys System Space, and advances to Grandmaster 28. When Zuo Lengchan and Whiteboard Fiend attack Liu Manor, Su Chen reveals his Grandmaster strength, turns the battle around, and kills Zuo Lengchan despite Ice Qi interference 38 40.

Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian later hire Su Chen to help rescue Ren Woxing, leading him to Plum Manor 46 61. His growing mental power becomes evident there when he severely injures Black and White Son with a glance, combining mental manifestation and saber intent 61.

Su Chen’s reputation expands rapidly as he kills major martial figures, defeats White Lotus experts, subdues Ren Woxing, and survives repeated ambushes 69 99 102. By the time he collects 1.2 million taels for eliminating the White Lotus Sect, even Shopkeeper Wan struggles to understand him: powerful but not heroic, greedy for silver but not enslaved by it 116.

After breaking into the Half-step Land Immortal tier, Su Chen begins confronting the martial world’s top-tier figures directly, including Xue Yiren, Shangguan Jinhong, Zhao Yuzhen, Old Ancestor Sunflower, Yan Shisan, and Xie Xiaofeng 191 222 245. He upgrades to the Divine Weapon Tiger Soul after realizing his old ring-pommel saber cannot withstand the force of the Seven Limits technique 220.

Su Chen later works across regions and powers, including Golden Peng City, the Western countries, Japan’s Shintoism Cult, and Great Qin 370 469 523. In the Great Qin arc, he cooperates with Wang Li and Fusu, kills Eastern Emperor Taiyi and seven Ancient Spirit Martial Arts Heavenly Humans with his group, then proposes gathering forces across the realm against the Ancient Experts 648 650.

At Wudang, Su Chen visits Zhang Sanfeng as an equal Martial Arts Heavenly Human, warns him of the coming Ancient Secret Realms crisis, and challenges him to a sky-shaking duel after Zhang initially hesitates to join the alliance 653 654.

Appearance

Su Chen is repeatedly associated with black clothing and short hair; White Lotus reports describe the suspected killer as a “black-clothed, short-haired swordsman,” and he later appears at Little Sage Village as a man in black 58 563.

• Short-haired, black-clothed martial artist 58 563
• Earlier carries a dragon-patterned ring-pommel saber 49
• Later wields the Tiger Soul Fierce Blade, whose malevolent aura shocks observers 221 222 245
• His killing intent is strong enough to pressure Xie Xiaofeng and frighten veteran general Wang Jian 245 648

Personality

Su Chen is openly pragmatic and reward-focused. He treats silver as a tool for recharging the system, not an object of worship, and can remain composed even before 1.2 million taels 116. He is especially friendly toward “high-quality clients” such as Zhu Wushi because he sees them as valuable sources of payment 202.

He is merciless toward enemies. Opponents recognize that his title “God of Slaughter” is not empty, and that almost no one survives once he draws his blade 222. He repeatedly eliminates threats rather than bargaining with them, including the White Lotus Grandmasters and the Shintoism Cult Master’s divine official 69 469.

Su Chen is adaptable in both combat and conversation. Liu Zhengfeng privately nicknames him “Face-Changing Master” after watching him switch instantly from friendly guest to businesslike negotiator 46. He can also talk opponents down or provoke them with deliberately flimsy excuses, as shown when he engineers a confrontation with Eastern Emperor Taiyi by asking, “What are you looking at?” 613.

He is confident to the point of recklessness. During the Mechanism Azure Dragon battle, he attacks the mechanical beast without drawing his weapon, worrying Moon God but earning Star Soul’s admiration 549. Wang Li, however, trusts that Su Chen rarely acts without a reason 563.
