A ruthless bandit named Zhou Chu terrorizes the countryside, leaving death and suffering in his wake. When a mysterious monk approaches with an unusual proposition, Zhou Chu learns of three great evils plaguing the land: a man-eating tiger, a venomous snake, and a corrupt nobleman who preys on the innocent. The monk offers him a chance at redemption if he can eliminate all three threats within a set timeframe. What begins as a straightforward quest becomes something far more complicated. Zhou Chu discovers that destroying evil isn't as simple as drawing a sword. Each encounter forces him to confront the blurred line between justice and vengeance, between the hunter and the hunted. As he closes in on his targets, he begins to understand that the real scourge may be something far deeper than monsters or villains. The story questions whether a killer can ever truly change, and what redemption demands of someone willing to pay the price. Gritty and philosophical, this anime refuses easy answers.
