Hailing from Xi You, Shang Bu Huan is a warrior who has taken the responsibility of stealing the mystical swords created during the Ancient demon wars, to keep them out of the wrong hands. He is very aware of the way others feel, but despite his great skill and charisma, Lang Wu Yao claims his compassion is his own worst enemy. He is an enigmatic wandering swordsman, alone by the time of season one.

Shang Bu Huan outwardly appears cold and uncaring, acting as if he doesn't care what others are doing and that everyone around him is crazy or unreasonable. But this apathetic persona doesn't come from a need to live up to a wandering swordsman, instead coming from his desire to stay out of peoples lives and not troubling himself with their problems. However, due to his compassionate nature, he always ends up helping the people he comes across. He often gives people advice after saving them, like Lang Wu Yao, Juan Can Yun, and his own imposter. Preferring to stay quiet (other than complaining), he still feels a need to speak his mind when others tell him of their reasons for living. His own philosophy was essentially challenged when Lang Wu Yao attempts to kill Lou Zhen Jie.

Shang's motivation for taking the sorcerous swords threatening his home is not only to keep them from the magistrate, but to keep them from the people who want revenge on the magistrate. Not believing in things like revenge, he is only concerned with keeping dangerous people away from coming into contact with these otherworldly demon blades.

Bu Huan carries a wooden sword, which as he claims, has the benefits of not rusting, being lighter, and easier to maintain.

In an Eastern-styled fantasy setting, a brother and sister team of sacred guardians is beset by the Xuan Gui Zong, minions of Miè Tian Hai, who seeks the Tian Xing Jiàn sword that they possess. Hai's appearance leads to the defeat of the brother, but his sister, Dan Fei, jumps off a cliff to temporary safety. Later, a wandering swordsman comes across a ruined temple, where a statue of Buddha is protected by an umbrella against the rain. When he takes the umbrella for himself, a man resting under a tree nearby informs him that he must be compassionate to the next traveler he meets as a trade-off for taking the umbrella. That next traveler is Dan Fei, still being pursued by the Xuan Gui Zong minions. Both his promise and the enemy's sorcery leaves the wanderer unable to avoid getting involved.

The second season of Thunderbolt Fantasy.

Lang Wu Yao is a boy born with a supernatural singing voice. Secluded in the snowy mountains, he is put through severe training by his blind mother. Her wish is for her son's voice to be unrivaled, so that it will be heard by the imperial court. But the intense training results in a tragic accident, where she dies. Left an orphan as a result, Lang wanders the land. His voice is used as a tool by the wicked and greedy, with his heart being ground down in the process. Eventually his strange singing catches the ear of the princess of Xi You, and Lang is elevated to the stage his mother had dreamt of. But what awaits him is a life or death battle performance against other musicians for the amusement of the members of the court. Until one day, Lang learns of the rumors of the Sword Plundering Nemesis, an infamous bandit known through all of Xi You for stealing magical weapons. What he doesn't know is that the next weapon in the sights of this thief has been hidden by the emperor in the same castle Lang has been performing in.
