* AbsurdlyHighStakesGame: Jing Tian is forced into a series of these near the end of the series by [[spoiler: Evil Sword Immortal]], who wants revenge for the time Jing Tian successfully bluffed him into retreat.

* SpoiledSweet: Xue Jian, scion of a noble house, is pretty bratty for a while at first.

* {{Badass}}: Changqing in his very first appearance saves Jing Tian and Xue Jian from a horde of zombies which would have speedily devoured them. They (eventually) catch up themselves.

* UndyingLoyality: Mao Mao to Jing Tian.

* BloodKnight: The undefeatable Demon King Chonglou, whose chief motivation is to refight an interrupted duel with his rival.

* TheGamblingAddict: Jing Tian, to the bafflement of Changqing (who was born in a monastery and is extremely naive about social life) and the exasperation of Xuejian, who considers it a childish weakness of his. He causes difficulties for the heroes on more than one occasion with his weakness for gambling, but his gambling experience also allows him to bluff and swindle nonhumans who could squish him like a bug in a straight-up fight.
* GreenEyedMonster: Xuejian gets hilariously enfuriated when Jing Tian cons the Fire Phantom Queen into a pretend wedding night in order to steal the third Spirit Pearl.

** There is a non-romantic example later in the series, when Longkui becomes very worried that she will become unimportant to Jing Tian if he marries Xuejian. [[spoiler: this arises thanks to Evil Sword Immortal's manipulations, and leads to tragedy.]]

* SkySurfing: On swords. And it is awesome.

* SealedEvilInACan: The "evil smog" created by the use of Mt Shu's forbidden skill. The elders of Mt Shu sealed it in the Demon Locking Pagoda, and Jing Tian was later able to transfer it into a specially prepared container by virtue of being the ChosenOne. Subverting the usual trope, the goal of the main quest is to destroy it ''before'' it has the chance to escape. [[spoiler: thanks to skillful manipulation of Jing Tian's Nakama, it succeeds in escaping, reverting to the standard trope.]]
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Jing Tian regarding Xue Jian (the transparent denial version), Chan Qing to Zixuan in a more tragic and serious example.
* SkySurfing: As in the first series, there is sky surfing on swords.

* {{Tsundere}}: Xue Jian to Jing Tian, very much so.

Foreseeing the destruction of the world at the hands of an evil force, the 5 elders of Mt Shu Sect call upon Jing Tian and Changqing to acquire the [[MagneticPlotDevice five spirit pearls]] in order to enter the celestial realm and reach the one place in the world where that force can be destroyed before it comes into its full strength. The two of them join with Jing Tian's adopted brother Mao Mao, Xue Jian, who has been banished from Tang manor after it was revealed that she is a foundling, and Longkui, a mysterious waif who claims to be a princess of a vanished kingdom and Jing Tian's little sister and set off on their mission.
