Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation Vol. 06

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation Vol. 06, also known as MDZS, the comic/manhua version of the New York Times bestselling novels from China that also inspired an animated adaptation and the live-action series The Untamed!

Experience this historical fantasy tale of two powerful men who find each other through life and death in this English version of the beautiful, full-color comic!

To escape the villainous scheming of Xue Yang, A-Qing is determined to flee, and take her companion Xiao Xingchen along with her. But Xiao Xingchen cannot shake his sense of responsibility–he resolves to stay behind and confront Xue Yang alone. That’s when Xue Yang reveals the truth behind their Night Hunts, and all the horrible things he’s tricked Xiao Xingchen into doing for so many years. Battle is joined between old friends and fated rivals!

Back in the present, Wei Wuxian watches their tragic history unfold, and is left with a single thought. To set things right, he must kill Xue Yang.

LESS EXPLICIT THAN NOVELS: Similar to the live-action and animated versions, this comic adaptation of the novels will not contain all the explicit content of the novels and can therefore be read by a younger/broader audience.
