[The Blood of Youth]

[Episode 17]

I once thought the martial arts world was like the imperial court. There would only be unlimited ambitions.

Until I met you, Wu Xin,

Tian Wai Tian, Xueyue City, and Dark River.

Now, I think the martial arts world is like a mirror.

A mirror?

When we stand before a mirror, we can see ourselves.

When we face the martial arts world, what we see is our hearts.

You mean... we see what we want to see?

That's right.

Where your heart wants to go is the martial arts world.

If your heart is full of resentment and darkness,

then you'll think that the martial arts world is ruthless.

But if your heart sees hope and brightness,

then you'll become more enlightened in the martial arts world.

So remember, no matter what happens,

don't forget what you were like when you first entered the martial arts world.

That is your true self.

Your grandfather says you lack a killer's heart,

that's exactly your most invaluable trait.

But in this martial arts world, it's about life and death, we cannot avoid it.

You can only follow your heart to wield your sword.

in order to protect what you cherish.

I understand.

That's good.

Let's go. Time to go to Lei Fortress.

We've wasted enough time.

Senior Sister. Brother Mingxuan.

Sorry for making you worry.

No need to apologize to us.

Reward your horse.

Hedgehog Luo. Are you going to Lei Fortress too?

H-Hedgehog? What?

Look at you, you look like a human hedgehog.

So you're jealous of me?

I won't be going with you all to Lei Fortress.

Master is waiting for me. She'll scold me again if I come back late.

All the best on your journey, everyone.

Take care.

Take care.

Rest for a moment.

Thank you.

This beauty was born with a birth defect in the heart meridian.

It is a miracle that she still breathes.

Indeed.

She has received treatment in Xueyue City for many years.

She's Ye Ruoyi, Brother Lei's new love interest.

That dummy fell in love?

Hurry. Bring me to him.

That said, why did you come back?

To visit old friends.

The Spear Deity told me to return to Tian Wai Tian, and I did,

but he didn't say I couldn't come back to Beili.

Besides, if I didn't come back, all of you would be dead soon.

What do you mean?

Do you think you're the only one being hunted now?

I received news that after Xiao Se and Lei Wujie left Xueyue City,

they didn't head to Lei Fortress right away.

They went to Mount Wangcheng instead.

After they left the mountain, they disappeared.

I followed their tracks and found this.

It said you were ambushed in the Tang Clan and needed help.

The homing pigeon told me that it was supposed to head to Tianqi City,

but it was intercepted on its way by me.

Homing pigeon?

You can speak with animals?

All creatures have souls.

I can even communicate with other plants and creatures.

Do you believe me?

I didn't dispatch this homing pigeon.

Of course, it wasn't you.

It told me that Ye Ruoyi dispatched it.

She is no simple woman.

Lei Wujie is going to be in trouble soon.

What do you mean?

Because their whereabouts have been leaked.

The message from the homing pigeon was intercepted before it reached the General's Residence.

Are Lei Wujie and Xiao Se that important?

I used to think they were only important to me.

How unexpected.

Minghou.

You're with him?

I asked him to come here to pick us up.

He has gone insane, but his killer instinct remains.

Don't approach him carelessly.

Why is he doing your bidding?

That's a long story.

This is...

What a strong aura.

Did you see him draw his sword?

He didn't.

He used the scabbard to knock Ming Hou back.

Why is it, whenever I return to the martial arts world, I find powerful individuals.

Hard, always so hard.

I've just supressed her injury.

If we get into another fight, I'm afraid even immortals can't bring her back.

Take her away. I will buy you some time.

Can you?

I'm different from who I used to be.

We haven't seen each other in a long time.

Even if a Blade or Sword Deity were here, I can hold my ground.

Okay. Be careful.

Sir. Your opponent is me.

Astral Travel. Divine Eye.

Yes. They're powerful skills.

And this one too.

Mahakasyapa Palm of Ye Dingzhi.

I know who you are now.

Likewise.

But I can only confirm it once I see your sword.

We'll have to see if your worthy of it!

Mahakasyapa Palm again.

This is called Arhat Bind.

Arhat Bind?

Even the Buddha will fail to bind me!

You wish to see my sword, don't you?

Take a good look today.

Defeat the Army Sword.

It is ranked 5th on the list of famous swords.

The Sword of Dominion.

You are indeed the Rage Sword Deity.

[Liangyue Pavilion]

Old Master.

Why did you came back alone.

Where's Tang Lian?

The Sect Master of Tian Wai Tian, Ye Anshi, rescued Tang Lian.

What Sect Master of Tian Wai Tian?

He's just an adolescent child.

Compared to your peers, you are far from Lianyue.

Yes.

It's fine if Tang Lian is gone.

But that woman is trouble.

General Ye Xiaoying crossed someone like that.

The Tang Clan will have a difficult future.

I can only put my hopes on an old friend.

An old friend?

He's on his way here as we speak.

He should have arrived by now.

Rage Sword Deity.

Pardon my insolence, but if I may ask...

We don't know each other.

Why do you wish to see me dead?

Because... you are the son of Ye Dingzhi.

My only regret in this world is that I didn't fight your father.

So you came to bully his son?

That's unbecoming of you, I'm afraid.

Therefore, I want to kill you to vent my anger.

If you want to kill me, it won't be that easy.

How so?

Run, Ming Hou.

We can't deal with him.

Go!

Unrestrained Shapeless Technique.

This was the technique Ye Dingzhi used back then!

Good.

Not good enough.

Die!

Let's go.

Well done, old man.

Mu Yumo. You're late.

Sometimes I like to make you wait for me.

Don't look at me like that.

I'm too old for your seduction.

You must be joking.

In your young or old age, you've always been a heartless man.

Where is that disciple of yours who's just as heartless?

Why isn't he here?

He is in Lianyue Pavilion.

Before he finishes his task, he won't leave that place.

Back to business.

Your guest hasn't arrived yet.

He's not coming anymore.

I know him well.

Either he comes or he won't at all.

The Rage Sword Deity, Yan Zhantian, never comes late.

It won't be easy to do this without him,

but it's not impossible.

And I thought I could meet the famous Rage Sword Deity.

In the end, it was just a small chat with you.

How boring.

Array of Thousand Arachnids.

And what's up your sleeve?

How marvelous.

The ultimate secret poison of the Tang Clan and the ultimate secret array of Dark River.

Victory will be ours.

Do not underestimate our foes.

Who may our esteemed guest be?

It's the Leader of Dark River.

I am the Second Prince of Beili, Prince Bai, Xiao Chong.

I have been waiting a long time to meet you.

You were waiting for me?

Indeed.

Your younger brother impersonated someone

and used Dark River to help himself.

Although he's of a prominent background, when the Dark River kills

we never looks at one's identity.

Therefore, he has to die.

Please show mercy, Leader.

If I hadn't shown any mercy,

he would've died the moment he met me.

The Ninth Prince wanted Dark River to work with the Tang Clan to eliminate the Lei Clan.

The Lei Clan is a key ally of Xueyue City.

Eliminating the Lei Clan is akin to breaking one of Xueyue City's arms.

This is a good deal for Dark River.

However, eliminating the Lei Clan is just the prologue.

You came to me and this is when this matter really starts to unfold.

Starts?

Yes.

I said I was waiting for you because among all the princes in Tianqi City,

I've always had my eyes on you from the beginning.

I will help you ascend to a higher status,

while you will help Dark River flood the entire martial arts world.

Second Brother!

Do you know your mistake now?

Elder Brother.

I... know I was wrong.

Apologize to the Leader right now.

No need.

You knew who I was already?

Young man. You underestimated Dark River.

From the moment you stepped foot in here, we already knew who you were.

We spared you because...

Prince Bai, Xiao Chong. You're our best bet.

Leader.

If I may be frank, Dark River isn't my first choice.

Aren't you afraid that I would kill you both here if you turned me down?

I don't think you're that unwise as to sabotage yourself.

But choices have to be made now.

Prince Bai.

Some things shouldn't be decided so hastily.

[Zhiyuan City]

We've only eaten plain buns for days, I'm losing weight.

Be grateful you even have plain buns to eat.

Why didn't you ask your grandfather for money when you left Sword Heart Tomb?

Every sword they sell there is worth a fortune.

Your grandfather is also among the top three wealthiest men in the martial arts world.

Why are you this poor?

Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why?

What's going on?

- See? - What is the bounty about?

I'll go have a look.

Those old guys can't even do anything.

[Bounty: One Thousand Silver Taels]

One thousand taels!

Xiao Se!

The magistrate is looking for a physician and will pay 1,000 silver taels for it!

1,000 silver taels!

Do the three of us know medicine?

That thousand taels has nothing to do with us.

Who cares if we don't know medicine!

Don't you have that Penglai Pill or Three-Day Pill?

Hush.

Do you know how expensive one Penglai Pill is?

Do you know how many people will come after me if they knew about the Three-Day Pill?

I know the Penglai Pill is precious.

But in this small town, no one has heard of it anyway.

Use it to save a life.

It'll accumulate good deeds for you too.

- Come on, come on. - Hands off.

I've studied medicine before.

Who said we need my Penglai Pill in order to save someone?

Airhead.

You studied medicine?

What exactly did you do in the past?

Your lightness technique is great, gambling skills are up there,

and you studied medicine! You're amazing!

All right. Keep it down now.

Can you teach me?

I was reckless.

Please forgive me.

You weren't reckless. You did the wrong thing.

I just wanted to help you, Second Brother.

In this world, many people will do anything to gain profit.

Needless to say, you can find them all over Tianqi City.

And many others can leave behind profit for righteousness.

They have principles and faith.

They don't want to be sullied one bit.

They're willing to live for it and also die for it.

Xiao Chuhe is like that.

That's why he ended up where he is now.

I respect people like that!

But I can't become someone like them.

He is flawless.

While I've been colored.

But this color... can only be white.

I also have lines that can't be crossed.

I understand.

A missive from Shao Han has arrived.

His Majesty is probably asking why we haven't come back yet.

Have there been unusual movements from other princes?

Everything else is normal.

Other than Prince Chi, Xiao Yu.

He claims to be sick and hasn't come out for more than a month.

That decadent prince...

Jingxia.

Do not underestimate Prince Chi.

Although only you and he were given the titles of princes,

you earned it with your talent.

What did Xiao Yu do?

Isn't it all because his mother is Father's favorite?

You can't judge a book by its cover.

Prince Chi, Xiao Yu, is a formidable enemy.

Also, you just made another mistake.

We weren't the only ones given the titles of prince.

You're referring to Prince Yong'an, Xiao Chuhe?

Dark River has already said that they wouldn't stop hunting him.

In my opinion, you should just help them...

Presumptuous!

Did you forget what I just told you?

Did you get in touch with Master?

My people are looking for him as we speak.

But the Rage Sword Deity is hard to track down.

I just know that he left when he had almost arrived at the Tang Clan.

I hope we can contact him in time.

Only he

can stop everything.

Physician, how is it?

Her meridian system is beyond repair. Prepare for her funeral.

Farewell.

Physician!

God will bless us. She will be fine.

- She will be. - I only believe in the physicians now.

Right.

It seems like only the Medicine King, Xin Baicao, can save her now. I'll go look for him.

Sir.

Someone gave us this and said she would be cured after consuming it.

Penglai Pill?

Peng...

What is a Penglai Pill?

A sacred pill from the Hall of Medicine in Tianqi City.

Only the royal family can use it.

How many of them are there?

Two men and one woman. The woman carries a spear.

As for the two men, one is dressed in red and another in green.

It's them!

Xiao Se! Qianluo!

Lei Wujie!

- Senior Brother. - Senior Brother! Senior Brother.

I...

It's only been a few days and you miss me that much already.

You have no idea!

Without you, we were bullied wherever we went.

So you only know how nice I am when you're being bullied.

Of course, not!

If you're here, is Miss Ye here too?

Is the patient Ruoyi?

Ruoyi.

The Penglai Pill will unblock your meridian system.

I know it'll hurt a lot, but I know you can survive it.

Hang in there.

I haven't had time to say this to you.

Long time no see.

Rest now.

- How is she? - Xiao Se.

How is Ruoyi?

She's all right for now.

Did you know Sister Ye from before?

You seem to know her condition very well.

If I didn't mishear, she said "long time no see" just now?

We've known each other since we were young.

If you two already knew each other, why didn't you acknowledge one another?

Unless...

Unless you two used to be together.

What?

We're just old acquaintances.

How dare you.

How dare you.

All right.

You three, come with me.

I need to speak with you.

What did I do?

So the Tang Clan plans to betray Xueyue City?

I don't know what my old master is plotting now,

but it's clear that he doesn't want to side with Xueyue City anymore.

So he must have a better offer.

Senior Brother, this is serious.

You should return to Xueyue City to inform the Third City Lord.

I can't.

You haven't made up your mind yet?

No.

The Tang Clan is my family, but Xueyue City is my sect.

I don't want to betray either of them.

I just want to stop this from happening.

I can't go back to Xueyue City, because I have another important task at hand.

What is it?

Lei Fortress will hold a hero banquet soon.

But right now, they don't know about the changes within the Tang Clan.

This banquet might be the start of Tang Clan's defection.

I already wrote to Xueyue City, but it might be too late.

So I have to head to the Tang Clan to stop this.

But this will be challenging.

Indeed. I can't do this alone.

But as long as I do my best, I won't regret it.

Don't worry, Senior Brother. You've got us too!

As for Ruoyi, I checked her heart meridian just now.

She was able to survive until now because there's zhenqi in her body and it's very familiar.

It was Wu Xin.

Wu Xin?

Where is he?

He didn't come with you?

We ran into a strange swordsman.

He wore a black cape and carried an enormous sword.

Wu Xin kept him busy so I could take Miss Ye and run.

Could it be him?

Yan Zhantian and the Tang Clan are all on the move now.

Could the mastermind be Second Brother?

But with his character, Second Brother wouldn't collude with Dark River.

Could it be...

Xiao Se, you know him?

The Rage Sword Deity.

The Rage Sword Deity, Yan Zhantian?!

He ranks 3rd on the Top-Ranked List.

He's as famous as my sister!

But how can Wu Xin fend him off?

I've already observe carefully.

Wu Xin is much stronger than before.

If I'm not mistaken, he should be in the Carefree Phase now.

Even if he can't defeat the Rage Sword Deity, he should be able to run.

Why? You think Wu Xin doesn't stand a chance against him?

No.

It just reminded me of another Sword Deity.

Lei Wujie.

Why hasn't the Xueyue Sword Deity contacted you yet?

That's right!

The three strongest individuals of the Tang Clan.

Tang Yin, Tang Lie, Tang Yue.

You're here to kill me, too?

The Tang Clan is working with Dark River.

What a rare sight.

I bet this is Su Changhe's doing, right?

From the moment I met him, I knew he would be devoured by his own ambition one day.

Li Hanyi, how arrogant of you.

Arrogant?

It's just two head figures of Dark River and the three strongest fighters of the Tang Clan.

I'll just get rid of all of you.

Muyu.

They say Beili is the land of swords and Nanjue is the land of blades.

It's time to show them how foolish they are.

Iron Glacier, as majestic as always.

I'm called Xie Qidao because one will die after I swing my blade seven times.

I've already swung it six times.

If you won't die in my next attack! I'll have to change my name.

No need.

Because today, you'll die!

Xueyue Sword Deity, Li Hanyi.

Don't get ahead of yourself now!

I have yet to perform the final slash.

It's named Deity Killer.

Why did he stop all of a sudden?

This is a unique technique for those who study fist and blade techniques.

It's called Convergence.

Right now he's channeling all his strength before he does the final slash.

Su Muyu. You couldn't stop me last time.

Today, it will be the same.

It's different today because I'm not alone.

If you truly wish to force Xueyue City's hand,

then please accept your demise!

Qingxiao.

Pardon my disobedience here.

I have to leave today.

[A Mind as Deep and Wide as a Valley]

Martial Uncle Yin.

They all say I'm the world's greatest diviner.

But I think the title should be yours.

How else are you here to stop me whenever I want to leave?

Do I need to divine to know if you want to leave or not?

Mount Wangcheng is such a blissful place.

Even the animals can communicate.

They know I'm about to leave.

Martial Uncle,

I wish to leave the mountain to see things.

It's getting boring here.

Yuzhen. Are you going to let us down after what your master and Mount Wangcheng did for you?

It can't be helped.

I've left Qingxiao Sword behind.

Please take over my position too.

Once Feixuan grows up, he can inherit my position.

Peach Blossom.

Peach Blossom. Let's go find her, all right?

For the sake of my dead martial brother, I cannot allow you to leave!

Martial Uncle. You can't stop me.

I do not seek the Heaven's Will, yet the Heaven's Will came knocking at my door.

I only wish to drink liquor in the peach blossom forest.

Martial Uncle Yin and Master, forgive me.

Master!

Grand Martial Uncle, don't leave.

Why?

Even Martial Uncle Yin can't stop me.

Why are you here?

Do you want a beating?

Fei Xuan. Your Supreme Dragon Elephant Skill is nearly mastered.

To marvel at it, you need to see the world.

After three months, you'll venture out of the mountain.

Do not come back within three years.

Fansong. You will accompany Fei Xuan.

You are fated to have two masters.

One is me and our fate has run its course.

There's another in the martial arts world.

He is as good a swordsman as me.

No. I don't want two masters.

I just need you.

Foolish child.

I'm merely leaving the mountain, not walking to my own death.

No need to cry like that.

But Grand Martial Uncle, what you said sounds like your final speech.

I just think that I'll be gone for a long while.

Don't worry. I won't die.

I'm Zhao Yuzhen, the one who's almost reaches godhood.

I fear no heavenly tribulations.

I'll leave and come back with a wife.

Master!

I look forward to the day we'll meet again!

He is the Tao Sword Deity.

So what if there's a heavenly tribulation?

He can dispel it in one second!

That was a beautiful slash.

As expected from a Sword Deity.

But it's a pity.

Haven't you notice that your power has been dampened?

This Phase-Suppressing Array was specifically set up for you.

Su Changhe...

And we laced the entire bamboo forest with colorless and odorless poison from the Tang Clan.

Once inhaled,

it'll slowly eat away at your inner force.

You're just like before, always resorting to dirty tricks like this.

Indeed.

Otherwise, how could I keep the Xueyue Sword Deity here forever?

You think my inner force has all but depleted.

But I still have the strength to perform one more slash.

And after this slash, I will die and so will you.

You overestimated yourself.

♫ Deep in the clouds, I hear your zither whispering faintly ♫

♫ Cruel winter moon, turns every scene into a dream ♫

♫ In a daze, the red candle dances with you ♫

Little Fairy. I've missed you so much.

I've always wondered what our reunion would be like.

The Tao Sword Deity, Zhao Yuzhen.

I forgot we have an audience.

You're the ones who've hurt her. Is that right?

Yes.

Don't blame me then.

I'm usually a pacifist. But when I fight, someone will die.

Be careful now.

Little Fairy. Wait for me.

Okay...

Hellish Palm.

You want to play these tricks with me.

Back off!

The ninth level of Taiyi Lion Secret Arts from Mount Wangcheng.

They always say among the Five Sword Deities,

the Lone Sword Deity is the strongest, because he can occupy one city alone.

He is unrivaled.

But I've always believed that you are the strongest.

Whether I'm the strongest or not doesn't matter.

I do not draw my sword easily.

I have 36 Peach Blossom swords.

What do you think?

Delusional.

Buddha says that all those with forms are delusions.

And what do you Taoists believe?

All those have a form, except for my Little Fairy, are delusions.

I say that. I can speak on behalf of Taoism.

Infinite Sword Array. Hear me! Rise!

Am I too late?

Are they all real swords?

How can one person summon these many weapons?

They must be swords conjured from the qi of sword.

- But they are just as lethal... - Advance!

- They're like real ones. - Go!

Leader. We'll all die if this carries on.

Leader, please find us an opening!

You have a solution?

You won't be disappointed.

Okay!

Let me send the Tao Sword Deity to the afterlife today.

- Little Fairy. - It's too late.

Pear Blossom Needle Thunderstorm contains 27 needles in total.

The Tang Clan got hit by three.

I intercepted 23.

And the last one...

Little Fairy...

Li Hanyi was hit!

Kill them.

Zhao Yuzhen forced himself to reach the Mental Phase before performing that slash.

I'm sure it will backfire on him.

Then let's go after them.

Leader.

Leader, long time no see.

How interesting.

The Tao Sword Deity left his mountain and a veteran left Tianqi City.

Please come with me.

If that is the wish of the State Preceptor, I shall comply.

Let's go.

Was I truly too late?
