Original subtitles

Adapted from the novel Zhu Xian written by Xiao Ding

The sword has fallen

the wild grasslands are dark as night

The moon idles away

The specks of obsession become great wisdom

The path is predestined

The disquiet perturbs the meridians again

How can a powerless law break the Five Aggregates and Ten Directions?

The world burns

Malevolent energy rises fanning the raging flames

One is mindful

Burn my body to ashes to extinguish this disaster

How can I choose what I cannot obtain?

Draw your sword, prepare to ask immortals

how to cultivate a heart without delusions

Why give me grief, anger me and create resentment?

Sigh at the longstanding opposition between both sides

this complicated prejudice that is hard to resolve

I am not afraid to shake the Heavens, I am willing to

Flying on the sword high in the sky

coming and going, roaring my will

I only hope that among those who worry or laugh at me, some have pity

I'll bend myself to break though this endless darkness

traverse every kind of predestined fate

Wait for me to return

like a young man again

ZHU XIAN Immortal Executioner

Episode 4

Senior Sister

Senior Sister

Xiao Fan

you are awake

Madam

Senior Sister is...

Everything was fine when you went out for training

How did you end up in a fight?

I want to hear about it

What exactly was the strange thing you encountered

that exhausted both of you?

Master

That wild monkey was very rude

It took our food

and kept making fun of us

Food?

Weren't you supposed to be training?

At that time,

we were having a break

My dignified disciples of Big Bamboo Peak

couldn't even defeat a wild monkey?!

This is truly a complete disgrace!

All right, all right

Fortunately, the two children are all right

Just save your breath

Xiao Fan

you lost a lot of blood

you must get proper rest

Yes

Madam

This matter

can be said to be strange

yet it can also be said to be simple

When I found them by the pond behind the mountain,

I checked the surroundings and found nothing unusual

At the end of the day,

every single disciple of

our Big Bamboo Peak is disappointing

All right

Don't come here!

That damn monkey

where did it run off to now?

Xiao Fan

you're awake

So it was hiding here

Come help me chase that damn monkey

I'm so angry

Senior Sister

wait for me!

Da Huang, get it!

Da Huang!

Let's see where else you can run to

Senior Sister, don't!

Xiao Fan

Poor little thing

Senior Sister

Look after it properly by yourself

I don't care for it

Don't let it fight with Da Huang

Thank you, Senior Sister

I'll call you Xiao Hui from now on, all right?

Every time I train to this point,

my internal Qi

will clash with the Great Brahmanic Wisdom and dissipate

This time, it's the same

but there's actually some improvement

All right

Seize this good opportunity

to continue

Our Azure Cloud Sword technique

places the most emphasis on

having no distracting thoughts

Have you forgotten what I taught you?

Master

Azure Cloud Sect members who hold a sword

are not allowed to make the slightest mistake

A sword aimed

must lead to action

If you care not for victory or defeat

why value life and death then?

The way of the Azure Cloud Sword

is illustrated by the words respect and neglect

Neglect the sword and you are not worthy of teaching

Respect the sword by keeping your cultivation in mind

Master!

Master!

Master!

I shall grant you the Dragonslayer Sword!

Righteousness in this world

is vast and everlasting!

Do not seek to execute immortals

but to slay demons and gods!

Jing Yu

Prove to me

that you are worthy of this Dragonslayer Sword

Yes

Master!

Good

Good!

What a shame

Good boy

I did not expect you to have such talent

I shall impart to you another

supreme sword technique of the Azure Cloud Sect

Jing Yu

are you ready?

The Ninth Heaven of Profound Execution

Transform into Divine Lightning

Shine with Heavenly Might

Come forth through the sword!

I specially made this for Senior Sister

Made for me?

What is it?

Senior Sister

it's nothing

What is it?

Let me see it

What's the tasty dish

that you specially made for me?

There's steamed meatballs,

boiled beef,

Three Mushrooms soup,

Dual Fish Out of Water

and your favorite simmered fried bean curd

There's also...

Look

There's also this

Did you think I didn't see it?

Da Huang

Help me stop Xiao Fan

Hurry

You all...

Still trying to hide it?

Give it to me

Da Huang

Senior Sister

I got it

Little Junior Sister

Little Junior Brother

stop messing around

We have guests

Guests?

Dragon Head Peak disciples have paid us a visit

Strange

Why did the Dragon Head Peak disciples come here?

Dragon Head Peak?

Has Jing Yu come?

Looks like the disciples of Dragon Head Peak

are not used to the waters of Big Bamboo Peak

are you?

Martial Uncle Tian

I did not mean to-

I am Lin Jing Yu

I am under orders from my master to notify you that-

Notify?

Your master, Cang Song,

must be becoming more respectable in status recently

You come to our Big Bamboo Peak to relay a message

but you call it a notification

Don't carelessly interrupt

Even his disciples have been taught to be obnoxious

Martial Uncle Tian

my master was ordered by Sect Leader Dao Xuan

to handle all matters pertaining to the Seven Branches

We came this time

not to notify you

We do have a matter

we wish to discuss with you, Martial Uncle Tian

I would like to see

what exactly is this serious matter

that actually requires Big Bamboo Peak to get involved

It concerns the Seven Branches martial contest

The rules of the contest have changed

so we specifically came to notify-

no

to discuss this with you, Martial Uncle Tian

The rules have changed?

The Azure Cloud Sect's Seven Branches martial contest

has always had ironclad rules

Why are the rules changing now that Senior Brother

Cang Song is in charge?

Martial Uncle Tian

since the Azure Cloud Sect's

establishment hundreds of years ago

we have close to 1000 disciples

We have thrived because of

the proper leadership of the Sect Leader and the chief elders

thus my master made a proposal to the Sect Leader

to increase the number of participants

for the Seven Branches martial contest

Increase the number of participants?

In the previous Seven Branches martial contests,

I remember that each branch

would send four competitors

and the chief branch will send another four

How do Senior Brothers Dao Xuan and Cang Song

want to increase the number of participants?

Martial Aunt Su

The Sect Leader believes

we younger disciples have trained hard in our cultivation

To avoid having any talent go unrecognized,

the Seven Branches will each send nine people this time

and the chief branch will send one more person

to bring the total to 64 competitors

They will draw lots for the matches

and compete in six rounds

Every branch will send nine people?

Everyone knows that

Dragon Head Peak's disciple numbers

is only second to the chief branch

Senior Brother Cang Song really made a good plan

The disciples of Big Bamboo Peak

will not have to fight to take part in the competition now

Martial Uncle

This was the decision of the Sect Leader

I...

Jing Yu

Xiao Fan!

Seventh Brother

Master

Madam

Jing Yu

Why did you come?

I...

Xiao Fan

Who came?

You ran here in such a hurry

Senior Sister

This is Lin Jing Yu

We came to Azure Cloud Mountain together

Did you all hear?

All disciples of Big Bamboo Peak

will be able to participate in the competition

Both of you

make yourselves at home

Da Ren,

please attend to Martial Nephew Qi

and Martial Nephew Lin

Yes

You must be Junior Sister Tian

Senior Brother Qi has met Junior Sister before

Junior Sister Tian's outstanding talents

is known to everyone in Azure Cloud

I also heard that

Junior Sister is intelligent and precocious

Now she has reached the sixth level

of the Absolute Profound Clarity path

I offer you my congratulations, Junior Sister

Senior Brother Qi, you flatter me

In the upcoming Seven Branches martial contest

you will definitely perform splendidly

We are

eagerly looking forward it

Xiao Fan

Senior Brother Qi, you speak so highly of me...

Xiao Fan

...I do not deserve it

Jing Yu

Show me around

All right

Senior Sister

let's go

You all can go ahead

I'll go look for you later

I didn't expect you to know so much about

our Big Bamboo Peak

You flatter me

Let's go, Xiao Fan

Jing Yu

We haven't seen each other for five years

How have you been?

Not bad

I've just been training

Did you get any information about

the massacre of Grass Temple Village in these five years?

No

Every time there's thunder

I'll be afraid and uneasy

as if the devastation has reemerged before me

Every time I think of the lack of progress in this case

I'll feel ashamed to face them

Xiao Fan

Come on

Do you still want to challenge me?

I definitely defeat you this time

I'm not afraid of you

I didn't expect you to keep this

Enough talk

Watch my sword

I won't give in to you

The 99th match between Zhang Xiao Fan and Lin Jing Yu

I'll definitely defeat you

Why are you bullying him?

I...

Senior Sister

Xiao Fan

The members of Big Bamboo Peak are not for you to bully!

Senior Sister!

Bind the gods!

Senior Sister!

Go easy on him!

Righteousness in this world

is vast and everlasting!

Do not seek to execute immortals

but to slay demons and gods!

Slay demons and gods!

Senior Sister!

Watch out!

The cold moonlight is dim

The decade-long search turned up empty

The slanted rain falls at speed

disheveling the gray hairs again

Midnight on a cold night

the winds and snow are severe

Where comes the sound of misery?

The heavy heart is audible

The cloud of dreams is empty

A rare, lonely soul

picks up a cold lamp

with dreams never realized

The young man with willful energy

relies on Heaven miles away to grasp the sword

Cut through a line of treasures

with the edge of the blade beaming

Words can't express the constant feeling of regret

Back then, I searched for this common dream that's

difficult to return to now

Affection can't be forgotten

life and death are indefinite

The trials and hardships are endless

No words for this anxiety

No sleep on this lonely pillow

No satisfying this sorrow

The affairs of the world

are difficult to regulate

The moon's absence tonight

is difficult to fill

Know that the road is very long

it's hard for astray, old dreams to come back

So many secret grudges

who can console me?

The pain of separation is depressing

Only your reflection is in a mess

heartbroken again

The young man with willful energy

relies on Heaven miles away to grasp the sword

Cut through a line of treasures

with the edge of the blade beaming

Words can't express the constant feeling of regret

Back then, I searched for this common dream that's

difficult to return to now

Affection can't be forgotten

life and death are indefinite

The azure clouds remain as before

Where is the young man heading to?

Where is the young man heading to?
