(The tassel crowns the knight. The sword is snow white.)

(In the silver saddle, he rides like a shooting star.)

(He kills a man within ten steps. Invincible he is all the way ahead.)

(He would leave once it's done. No trace of him is to be found.)

=Sword Snow Stride= (Season 1)

=Episode 20=

This one is available.

(Cuihua, swordswoman of Sword Tomb of the Wu family)

Here.

Tastes great.

Cuihua.

Mm?

Why does the pickled cabbage you made

taste so good?

Mm.

However,

there's always pickled cabbage.

How about

another kind of vegetable?

I can only make pickled cabbage.

That's brilliant enough.

You keep eating every day.

Didn't you say you would bother Xu Fengnian?

The senior around him is too strong.

I'm afraid I can't defeat him.

He scared you so quickly?

Anyway,

someone will try to hurt Xu Fengnian.

I'm in no hurry.

Who are you?

Pull out your sword.

Why didn't you pull out your sword?

Haven't you heard about it?

If I have the sword in my heart,

even grass or stone

can be used as a sword.

Nonsense!

What a waste!

A sword is a sword.

Grass is grass.

Only ignorant people think they're the same.

Pull out your sword.

Be patient.

The sword is most threatening

when it's still in the scabbard.

She's your swordswoman?

More than that.

She makes delicious pickled cabbage.

It's good luck for Sword Tomb of the Wu family.

In this generation,

there are two gifted swordsmen.

Will you keep fighting?

No.

Wasn't the fight

a little bit ridiculous?

They two are good.

They're qualified.

It's you?

Here's another chance for you.

Tomorrow afternoon,

Xu Fengnian will go to the reeds out of the town.

By then, this man

will fight Xu Fengnian with you.

Who's he?

I'm Wang Mingyin.

Wang Mingyin,

the No. 11 martial artist?

(Wang Mingyin, the No.11 swordsman)

Wang Mingyin is also in Xiangfan?

Yes.

Someone brought the message to the inn.

The waiter passed it on to us.

Who sent the message?

A girl, according to the waiter.

She smiled

and left without telling her name.

Do you know who she is?

I don't.

Who's Wang Mingyin?

In the ranking of martial artists,

(Wang Mingyin has arrived in Xiangfan.) he's always No.11.

But there are usually top ten masters.

He's just No.11.

He must be very depressing.

In such a big world,

he's already one of the best

even though he's No.11.

What does it concern you?

He came to kill me, I guess.

Why?

Because...

The Xu family is my enemy.

How?

Have you brought them?

Lord of Jing'an asked me to return them to you,

as a token of his sincerity.

In the box

are the eyes of my brother Wang Mingyang.

Wang Mingyang?

It sounds familiar.

He used to be a famous general

of West Chu.

Oh, I remember.

No.1 Defender Wang Mingyang.

No.1 Defender.

He's worthy of the title.

When Xu Xiao besieged Xiangfan

with 100 thousand soldiers,

Wang Mingyang defended the town for three years

before it was broken into.

I've heard about it.

After the town was broken into,

Wang Mingyang died in the battle.

The fortunes of West Chu

started to decline.

So, Wang Mingyin wants to kill you,

to avenge his brother?

There's no personal grudge in a war.

During battles,

people die or live.

But after that battle,

I once said

that no one from the Xu family

could come to Xiangfan again.

Now that Xu Fengnian has come,

he can't leave!

What happened

to the eyes?

Mr. Wang Mingyang

dug out his eyes

before he died,

saying he would like to see

how Xiangfan and West Chu

would end up.

After the battle,

his body was burned in the fire.

Only his eyes were kept.

Lord of Jing'an

always admired your brother.

Since he commanded Qingzhou,

he's been enshrining your brother, too.

This time,

he's returning the eyes to you

so that

he'll take a load off his mind.

Even if he didn't return the eyes,

I would kill Xu Fengnian, too!

Of course.

There are a lot of masters around Xu Fengnian

as well as the cavalry.

I will

help you, too.

You?

For your information,

I've prepared

some special tools.

Fujiang Armor?

Besides this,

Lord of Jing'an

will transfer some cavalrymen for besiegement.

Tomorrow, Xu Fengnian will die

in the reeds.

You know someone is going to kill you.

Why are you still taking a troll?

It's a famous ancient town.

I should certainly take a look around.

Don't worry.

Even if they want to kill me,

they won't do it today

or in the town.

You'd better be careful.

Your Highness.

Wen Hua!

(Ranger Wen Hua)

Xu.

What were you doing here?

Sleeping. Didn't you see?

Who did you steal the clothes from?

You even stole two blades.

If the owner comes to you,

don't get me in trouble.

Come on.

You still look untidy.

You haven't been famous yet, have you?

Don't talk nonsense.

If you're a true friend,

take off your clothes

and exchange them for a meal

so that we can have a good time.

Go get us a meal.

Where did you get her?

I told you

I was from an aristocratic family of North Liang.

I don't believe that.

Enjoy it, please.

Thank you, Mrs. Xu.

Mr. Wen, you get it wrong.

I'm a mere maid.

You're a beautiful girl.

It's ridiculous if you're only a maid.

If he bullies you,

tell me.

I'll teach him a lesson for you.

Seriously.

Why did you come to Xiangfan?

I had a crush on a girl.

She's so beautiful...

Again?

What do you mean again?

I indeed like her.

You like every girl you meet.

Forget it.

Where's Old Huang?

He hasn't come with you?

He's gone.

He's dead?

Yes.

Old Huang...

He's a good man.

I don't care about others.

But I must go

and see Old Huang's tomb.

Where was he buried?

He died near East Sea.

There's no tomb for him.

Why did he go too far?

When I met you that year,

Old Huang kept nagging.

I found him so annoying.

But when he's gone,

I feel kind of lonely.

I feel lonely, too.

What are you doing?

Look at you.

Old Huang will think you disgrace him.

Some people are born

and some people are gone.

This is the martial world.

Cheers.

If Old Huang were here,

I wouldn't have the drumstick.

Neither would I.

- Forget about him! - Forget about him!

- Let's enjoy the drumsticks! - Let's enjoy the drumsticks!

If he were here,

we wouldn't have even a single piece of the chicken.

Cheers.

Remember!

Some people are born.

- Some people are gone. - Some people are gone.

This is

- the martial world. - The martial world.

What's wrong?

That's a good place.

This is inappropriate.

Stay away and don't look.

It's inappropriate.

Why is it?

Xu.

Xu!

Sorry.

I was a bit impolite.

Let's go farther.

Or she'll hear us.

Old Huang is gone.

Would you like to travel with me?

I would like such a meal from time to time.

But if I have it every day, life will be too happy.

Anyway,

if I always enjoy a happy life,

I'll be in no mood for sword practice.

Don't hold up my supreme swordplay.

You only practice casually.

What swordplay do you have?

Come on.

Leaves on your side are wider.

Pick some for me.

I want to use them myself.

Don't be stingy, will you?

Get some for me.

Just use the thin leaves.

How...?

How can I just use them?

I feel much better.

It's getting late.

I should leave.

I owe you a meal.

I'll repay you later.

Where are you going?

To the border of North Mang.

There'll be chaos there, I'm afraid.

Take care of yourself.

How did you know?

Are you really from an aristocratic family of North Liang?

I am.

I don't care who you are.

You're my buddy, anyway.

We're good buddies.

Chaos is good.

We practice the sword

in chaos,

where we can sharpen the swordplay.

Very well.

Hope you'll obtain the supreme swordplay soon.

When I'm in trouble,

I'll count on you.

I simply owe you a meal.

But I have to defend you with my life?

All right.

I'll say no more.

I'm leaving.

Don't know when we can meet again.

The martial world isn't actually big.

We will meet.

- Steamed buns - Steamed buns

- aren't as white as girls' hands. - Aren't as white as girls' hands.

- Tips of lotus leaves - Tips of lotus leaves

- aren't as curly as girls' eyelashes. - Aren't as curly as girls' eyelashes.

See you.

The martial world isn't actually big.

We will meet.

Steamed buns

aren't as white as girls' hands.

Tips of lotus leaves

aren't as curly as girls' eyelashes.

What were you singing?

The song we composed.

Your Highness,

you met Mr. Wen

when you were traveling about?

Yes.

He had a trip with Old Huang and me.

Looks like you think highly of him.

According to Mr. Li,

the patterns are used

to transmit genuine spirit.

The pattern inside the Armor

is very complicated.

I can't figure it out

in a short time.

You don't need to rebuild the Armor.

See if you can find out its weak points.

Seeing from this angle,

we can try attacking

from some points.

Maybe,

we can slow down the Armor

for a couple of seconds.

That's good.

Your Highness, you think

Fujiang Armor

will appear tomorrow?

If they want to kill me,

tomorrow is a good chance.

A gentleman doesn't go to dangerous places.

Now that

you know it's dangerous,

why not leave Qingzhou quickly

and keep going east?

I can't leave.

Now that I let Wang Linquan leave Qingzhou,

Lord of Jing'an won't easily let me go.

Your Highness,

you've got your father's charm.

I don't want to be like him.

Grandpa Wei.

Mm?

If Fujiang Armor appears tomorrow,

please try hard

to deal with it.

I will.

I'll keep checking the pattern.

Mm.

Your Highness.

You don't need to keep watch at night.

Like I said,

your mother and the Lin family

have left Qingzhou with Uncle Wang.

They're safe now.

I know.

Then why do you still stay in Xiangfan?

I mean

you don't need to follow me.

Are you expelling me?

I'm not.

Xu Xiao kept you around me,

taking you and your family as a chip.

Now that I've let them go,

you don't need to stay.

You can go find Uncle Wang.

He'll help you settle your family.

But my mother said I was dead.

I'm no longer one of the Lin family.

Your mother is alive, after all.

You don't need to stay around me.

I assassinated you.

I gave in to destiny, too.

Everybody in the world says

your family is the traitor of our nation.

But in the end, you and your father

let us live.

I don't know what is right

or what is wrong.

I also don't know

the point of things

I've ever done.

But I promised you

that I would protect you

with my life.

Even a loser like me

wants to keep his promise.

I'm not leaving.

Why are you still here?

Didn't I ask Ning Emei to take you away?

Why must I leave?

Listen to me.

Tomorrow, in the reeds,

we don't know what will happen.

Let Ning Emei take you back to Mushan Island.

Yu Youwei and Fengzi Battalion are there.

You're going to leave me on the Island?

No.

I want you to leave Qingzhou

and meet us later.

What if it doesn't go smoothly tomorrow?

If it doesn't,

I'll probably die.

You can then go away

and be free.

I'm not leaving.

Why?

Are you going to be in danger with me?

If we have to be ruined tomorrow,

I'll kill you personally.

Xu Fengnian,

when you have to die,

no one can kill you, but me.

All right.

Sounds good.

Don't be desperate.

When I'm around,

neither of you will die.

How did you come in?

When did you come in?

When you were

saying something romantic.

Are you out of your mind?

I said I would kill him.

That wasn't romantic!

That was harsh!

What did you come for, senior?

Go out with me for a stroll.

For a stroll?

You and me?

Mm.

What exactly are you doing?

Before I left North Liang,

Xu Xiao begged me for one thing.

He said when there was no hope,

as long as you asked me for help,

I would take you back to North Liang alone.

Let me ask you now.

Would you like to run away?

What about the others?

I have one arm left.

I can't save a second person.

Thank you, senior.

But I don't want to run away.

Think carefully about it.

You only live once.

Once you die, you're forever gone.

I won't easily die.

Do you remember Making Immortals Kneel?

How would I possibly forget that?

I've been trying it secretly,

but I still can't use it.

What's the essence of martial arts?

Strength,

speed,

technique,

and experience.

Yes, at the beginning.

But strength will be exhausted.

When martial artists get to the best level,

their strength and speed will reach the limit.

Then they should mix the power of nature

into their martial arts.

At that time, temperament is decisive.

Your obsessive thoughts

will dominate your martial arts.

Minds change martial arts?

Wrong.

Martial arts originate from minds.

Making Immortals Kneel.

What are immortals?

They seek longevity

and brilliance.

They have vitality forever.

It's the essence of immortals.

What is vitality?

Grass grows out of the ground

against the laws of nature.

This is vitality.

There's vitality and death.

If you want to be an immortal,

you should keep the vitality only

and remove the death!

That year,

when I created Making Immortals Kneel,

I was very proud.

Those mediocre men

claimed to defy the laws of nature.

They wanted to do that

and become immortals.

But I didn't want to associate

with such losers!

I created Making Immortals Kneel

just to borrow the power of nature

to oppress all mortal beings.

I'd cut off the pride and wild fancy of losers

so that they would know

there could be no immortals in the world

as long as I lived!

With Dahuangting in your body,

you've got a foundation.

Also,

you're somewhat

as proud

as what I used to be.

When you understand the true meaning of the swordplay,

maybe you can learn it.

Is Making Immortals Kneel

your strongest sword move?

Every move of mine is the strongest.

Right. Right.

But speaking of my strongest move,

it must be

Snakes...

In Sleeves.

Hey.

Who are we waiting for?

Consort of Jing'an.

You gave her a bracelet

and your letter was like a love letter.

She's Consort of Jing'an.

Why would she come to see you?

Even if she wants to,

Lord of Jing'an won't agree.

Just the opposite.

She may not want to come.

But Lord of Jing'an

will make her.

His Lordship ordered

that Her Grace should meet Xu Fengnian alone

to see him off.

Your Highness,

I've arranged guards

to escort Yu Youwei out of Qingzhou.

The rest of Fengzi Battalion have returned.

Count heads.

Yes.

Fengzi Battalion has converged with Xu Fengnian.

Fengzi Battalion has arrived.

What about the cavalry of Lord of Jing'an?

Senior,

let's...

Let's keep waiting.

Your Highness,

three soldiers are missing.

Where were they missing?

When we set out, they were there.

They went missing in the reeds, I guess.

I'll take some men to look for them.

Wait.

Your Highness,

we can never abandon our companions!

If you don't want more soldiers to be hurt,

listen to me.

Here she comes.

She indeed came.

What's she doing?

She isn't even taking a guard.

Is she coming for a date?

Why do you think Lord of Jing'an asked

his favorite consort

to see Xu Fengnian alone?

You know the reason?

I don't understand, either.

I'm afraid no one knows what Lord of Jing'an is thinking,

but Xu Fengnian.

Where's the bracelet I gave you?

Why aren't you wearing it?

Thank you, Your Highness.

But I'd like to return it.

Why are you returning it?

You don't like it?

Sorry, Your Highness.

Let me throw it away, then.

What does my uncle

want you to tell me?

This is his message for you.

(See the nephew off.)

We can no longer wait.

Xu Fengnian is leaving.

I'm afraid the Cavalry will not come.

Shall we take action or retreat?

Take action.

There are too many masters around him.

Lure them away.

Give it back to me later.

If I die,

bury it outside Xiangfan.

Here we go.

Mr. Wu,

don't you use your sword?

The bamboo pole is handy.

Crafty guy.

See the nephew off.

Only four words?

What else did my uncle say?

He asked me to give the message to you,

without saying anything else.

Maybe when he knew you would leave Qingzhou,

he wrote this to see you off.

No, no.

(See the nephew off.) There are two meanings

(See the nephew off.) of the four words.

But neither of them means seeing me off.

Two meanings?

The first one is easy to understand.

Off means down,

namely the hell.

He wants to kill me.

I've brought you the message

and returned the bracelet.

I won't bother you, Your Highness.

I'll take my leave.

Aunt, get off the carriage and let's talk.

Behave yourself, Your Highness.

Do you think you can leave?

Please get off the carriage, Aunt.

Tell me.

What would you like to talk about?

Our soldiers.

Go save them with me!

Wait!

What are we waiting for?

They're soldiers of North Liang.

You're disturbed already.

Grandpa Wei!

I'll go after them!

Shu Xiu, Lyu Qiantang,

follow him.

Fengzi Battalion, follow up.

Aunt, get onto this carriage.

What exactly are you doing, Your Highness?

It's a dangerous place.

I'm protecting you, of course.

You're daring.

You still hold her hands.

I said,

no one from the Xu family can come to Xiangfan again!
