Literally the title of this story means 'A Story of the Divine Swordsman.' This story is one of a series of books, so the major characters of this story were already created in a previous work, Guanluo Fongyun Lu. It starts with a wugong contest between the martial arts mistress, Jhu Ling, and a swordsman called Gong Tianfu. Jhu was defeated and injured, then Gong took her to get medical treatment. Gong fell in love with Jhu, but Jhu did not love him. Jhu's real lover, also the first hero in this story is called Shih Syuanjhong known by his nickname Jianshen, the divine swordsman. When she recovered, Jhu accompanied by her disciple, Shangguan Lan, and Gong Tianfu started their wandering life again. Accidentally Shangguan Lan got lost, then when she was trying to find her teacher, she ran into a rapist, who attempted to attack her. Fortunately she was rescued by a swordsman called Shih Sihwun, whose master is the divine Shih Syuanjhong, then they fell in love with each other. Together they try to find Jhu Ling.

      Shih Syuangjhong helped the monks of the Wumu Temple to defeat intruders, then he left the temple to go to a city. Coincidentally a reunion of him and Jhu Ling took place in this city. Jhu was alone, because Gong Tianfu, who was injured in a battle, went back home for medical treatment. The past, which Shih and Jhu spent together, brought them unbearable feelings of love and hate. It was not until both of their disciples Shangguan Lan and Shih Sihwun found them, that they could have an excuse to say goodbye. The divine swordsman took a mission to rescue some people who were abducted, and he easily completed this mission. However the one who committed the abduction called Jhang Sian fell in love with Jhu Ling after Jhang rescued Jhu in an accident, so the relation between Jhu and Shih Syuanjhong became even more complicated.

      Shih Syuanjhong went to where Guimu, the head of the Syuanyinjiao gang, was for a martial arts contest. Many members of the martial arts circle gathered there including Jhu Ling and the two, Gong Tianfu and Jhang Sian, who both loved Jhu Ling. Shih was defeated in this contest, so according to agreement he jumped down from a cliff. Jhu Ling was detained by Guimu, and when the two swordsmen, who both claimed to be in love with her rescued her by making agreements with Guimu, they found that Jhu Ling's face was badly damaged.

      Jhu went to a Buddhist convent and decided to become a nun for the rest of her life. She met Mistress Cinin there and was taught a wugong, which could defeat Guimu. Shih Syuanjhong, who did not die after he jumped down the cliff, also went to her. An old man pointed out to Jhu Ling that she was not disfigured, and he cured her by simply taking off a piece of artificial skin from her face, which was put there by Guimu.

      Shih Syuanjhong became enemies with Yu Shuchu. So they made an appointment to have a martial arts fight. On the way to attend the contest, Shih was ambushed by several martial arts masters, including those from the central Asia, but he defeated them all. As a swordsman, Yu Shuchu was as excellent as Shih, so the contest lasted for a long time; it ended when Shih gave up and proclaimed his retirement form the martial arts circle.

      Apart from the suspenseful episodes and violent fights, the several love triangles in this story are also very entertaining. This one is followed by the next story, Babiao Syongfong.
