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 6

The Blood Refiner Hall

is now finished for good

Their forces are weak

we have nothing to fear at all

Senior Brother Cang Song

looks like you know the situation of the demon sects

like the back of your hand

The Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave

is in Kong Sang Mountain

Ordinary people who enter

that place will die

800 years ago,

it was the lair of the demon sect, Blood Refiner Hall

They are now on the decline

but danger still lurks everywhere

In that case,

why not we each protect our own clans?

The aim of the martial contest this time

is to strive for self-improvement

Self-improvement is the grand plan of the Azure Cloud

What you say is right, Junior Brother

But eliminating demons to protect the Way

is our duty

I will use the unusual activity of

this demon sect as the reason

to join forces with the Burning Incense Valley

and the Heavenly Sound Temple

And request them to dispatch their disciples

to assist in a coordinated effort

No matter what the situation is,

this is an

opportunity for us

Could it be

that you are using this Seven Branches martial contest...

Exactly

I plan to have the four strongest

disciples of the martial contest

investigate the actual situation

at the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave

The winner this time

will become a key figure of our sect

For the sake of our future plan

more experience

is absolutely necessary

If there are no other comments

this will be our plan

Understood

Don't simply run around

Little Junior Brother

even though you've deep affection for Xiao Hui

pampering it during the competition

is improper in any case

I suppose now that

you have cultivated the Three True Bodies

you no longer have mortal thoughts

Junior Sister Wen?

How have you been, Senior Sister Wen?

Ever since the last big test

our eldest senior brother

misses you all the time, Senior Sister

I didn't

I don't miss her all the time

So you don't miss our senior sister?

No, no, no

that's not it

Go away

Look, look!

The disciples of Dragon Head Peak have come

Dragon Head Peak

really have strength in numbers

Junior Sister Tian

do you still remember me?

Hello, Senior Brother Qi

Senior Brother Qi

you're participating in the

Seven Branches martial contest again

I presume this time

you are determined to win

Senior Sister Wen Min

It was frustrating losing to Senior Brother Xiao the last time

But after cultivating for 60 years,

I am certainly confident in winning

Of course

However, I'm not that skilled

Our branch has another genius sister

Senior Brother Qi, you better watch out

So there is a genius who can

make you concede defeat

I really want to get to know

this person as soon as possible

If you are lucky enough

you will meet her

Junior Sister Ling'er

I'll introduce the sisters from Small Bamboo Peak to you

Let's go

Xiao Fan!

Jing Yu!

Feels like you're more powerful than the last time

though it hasn't been that long

So are you

Your vigor

has become more outstanding

I'm just here to gain experience

Don't be so dispirited

I still want to compete with you

without using wooden swords

We'll compete as disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect

fulfilling our dream with dignity!

Where did this monkey come from?

Come here!

Don't simply run around!

Which peak's disciple is that?

Sorry!

Watch it!

Who's that?

Xiao Hui

where did you go?

Looks like you are

the master of this monkey

I'm Zhang Xiao Fan, disciple of Big Bamboo Peak

Xiao Hui

behave

This monkey

is really bad-tempered

I can't let you scar

my handsome face with scratches

This three-eyed spiritual monkey

is a primitive, rare beast

No three-eyed spiritual monkey

has ever been tamed before

How did you do that?

What's a three-eyed

spiritual monkey?

It's a rare spiritual beast in this world

Now

it still hasn't open its eye

It's no different from a wild monkey

But once it opens its eye...

My goodness!

Everyone

as the old sayings teach us

Translator's Note: written by Han Yu, essayist and poet from the Tang dynasty

excellence comes from diligence

failure comes from neglect

Throughout the ages, our sect's patriarchs have given

this advice to the later generations

Monkey

To guide our young disciples

Look at me

Look at me

We might be distant relatives

Come on,

let me see you open your eye

We have had 20 martial contests

All of you belong to the new

generation of Azure Cloud's disciples

I forgot to introduce myself

My family name is Zeng

my humble name is Shu Shu

I'm a disciple of Revolving Wind Peak

Uncle?

Translator's Note: the two words have the same pronunciation (shū) hence Xiao Fan's mistake

No, silly

Shu as in book

Oh

My mother wanted to name me Zeng Ying Xiong back then

Unfortunately, my father likes books

so he gave me the name of Shu Shu

Zeng Ying Xiong?

Shu Shu is the better name

How is it better?

I've to explain this to every single person I meet now

I've become a laughing stock for life

This little fellow is called Xiao Hui

It really is a small, gray thing

Translator's Note: Xiao - small, little; Hui - gray

You were able to tame a three-eyed spiritual monkey

That's rather remarkable

Look

The Sword Offering Ceremony has started!

As one would expect of a Sword Offering Ceremony

Currents of sword Qi

with magnificent energy

It's amazing

Am I really just here to gain experience?

Venerable Spirit

Venerable Spirit

Immeasurable Celestial Venerable

The Venerable Spirit must have come to encourage us

Amazing!

That's great!

The Venerable Spirit also came to encourage us!

Quiet, everyone

To encourage the disciples

to strive for improvement

and aim for the best

a prize has been specially prepared

for the winner of the contest this time

That's the Six Directions Mirror

I didn't expect the Six Directions Mirror

Furthermore,

as the number of the participants have...

A mirror?

It's an artifact passed down from the 10th patriarch

of the Azure Cloud Sect, Perfected One Master Wu Fang

It's extremely powerful

As long as your spiritual power is strong enough

it can deflect all attacks

The matches will be held

as accordingly:

number 1 against number 64

number 2 against number 63

number 3 against number 62

and so on

I hope I don't draw too strong an opponent

In the second round,

opponent selection will be left to fate

The drawing of lots

starts now

Got it!

Don't take mine!

This is mine!

I shall call out the numbers now

Disciples with said numbers

please state your master and your name

Who is number one?

Who is number one?

Did anyone not get a wax ball?

[Number one]

Martial Uncle Cang Song

I have that number

The person with number one

in the first round of the competition

will automatically advance to the second round as there is

no competitor with number 64

Great!

Advancing from the first round is the disciple

Zhang Xiao Fan

The competition starts now!

The next match is between

Shen Tian Dou from Rising Sun Peak

and Tian Ling'er from Big Bamboo Peak

This person mustn't be underestimated

In the previous martial contest,

he defeated two experts in a row

That's because he didn't fight me

I'm Tian Ling'er from Big Bamboo Peak

Greetings

Your artifact is the Amber Red Silk

I hope you will be lenient with me

What's happening?

You used a sneak attack?

This is called taking the offensive

Just a small trick

Junior Brother Xiao Fan

we meet again

Where's your monkey?

Senior Brother Zeng

my senior sister is competing at the moment

Shen Tian Dou actually relied on a sneak attack?

It means he's troubled

Don't worry

Your senior sister will definitely win

Oh right

My Revolving Wind Peak has many extraordinary items

Watch out!

Once your senior sister finishes her match

how about I show you some of them?

I've a three-legged rabbit

I'll decide later

I also have a black-and-white peacock

and a shell-less turtle

Can I trade them for your Xiao Hui?

Senior Brother Zeng!

I only get along with Xiao Hui

I don't want your pets!

This move is useless!

Senior Brother Shen

watch out!

Junior Sister Ling'er

Oh no!

Senior Sister!

Little Junior Sister

thank you for letting me win

What?

What's going on?

Watch this!

Remarkable

I didn't expect your senior sister to have a backup move

Amazing, amazing

I...

have another good item

[Heavenly Scent Records]

There's only one unique copy in the world

It took me a lot of effort to acquire this

I can't accept such a valuable book

Don't be anxious about it

I don't want it

Take it

Take a look at it before you decide

Unique?

Junior Sister Ling'er is awesome!

Big Bamboo Peak has something to be proud of this time

Right, Xiao Fan?

Junior Sister, you're amazing!

Xiao Fan

how was it?

I was amazing, right?

Senior Sister

you won?

You weren't watching my match?

I was, I was

You're really deserving of Master's true techniques

It was a spectacular victory

You're being sneaky

Tell me

what's the matter

Nothing's the matter

Lu Xue Qi?

Lu Xue Qi

Come with me quick

We're getting a treat for the eyes today

Don't pull me!

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?
