(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 37=

Back off!

You scared me.

In your condition,

even you are an immortal,

you can't kill anyone.

I'm not going to kill you,

but to damage your luck.

Xu Fengnian.

You didn't acquire Dahuangting

through your own effort.

I'm passing my own luck

and my martial arts

to you,

and also passing

my ordeals to you.

Nothing would happen to you

if you had been practicing martial arts since childhood.

But now,

your internal force will be out of whack.

No one can save you.

Even if my soul is going to perish,

I must kill you in front of Deng Tai'e first.

The luck-changing technique?

You are that old man's disciple?

Xu...

Why did you save me?

Your Highness! Your Highness!

Your Highness.

Because your mother gave me a chance

when I was desperate.

Here.

I'll kill

whoever tries to kill you.

We'll meet again.

Two coins for one word by then.

All right.

It's a deal.

That will be

a new-year gift for you.

Are you a dog?

The girl behind me,

only I can bully her,

but you can't.

(Cake Pastry)

I was born to owe something to this world.

I wish everything was ruined!

Xu Fengnian.

Even you are going to die,

you must die in my hands.

Trust me.

I can defend the world and you.

Where is that girl?

She has left.

She didn't say anything?

No.

The bitterest battle in this world

is over.

(Wudi City)

I think I'm okay.

I just feel a little dizzy.

That man from Mount Longhu

passed his martial arts

to Your Highness before he died.

He wanted

to mess with your internal force

and damage your luck,

but

Miss Hehe

stopped him

and took his luck for you.

Your Highness,

you are almost fit now.

You only need to rest for a few days.

What will happen to that girl?

I don't know.

The luck-changing technique is rare.

I don't know much about it.

Since she knows

such a rare technique,

it means someone taught it to her.

Nothing serious is gonna happen to her.

Senior Li.

Are you finished?

Yes.

Did Deng Tai'e give it to you?

Yes.

Where is Senior Deng?

He's gone.

He really left it to me?

He left you the flying swords and passed you his swordplay.

He's generous to you.

Observe the flying swords when you have time

and think about his moves today.

Didn't you ask me

to go my own way

and not to learn from others?

With me teaching Sword Intent,

there is no need to learn from others.

But the flying swords of Deng Tai'e

can be used for reference.

It's just that the sword is too delicate

in such a bright color.

It's the taste of little girls

under the age of eight.

I'm glad Senior Deng left,

or you would fight again.

So what?

I'm no match for Wang Xianzhi,

but I can beat Deng Tai'e.

Did you lose

above the East Sea?

The battle is still up in the air.

But I think I would lose if we keep fighting.

You are not finished?

We stopped.

Heaven's Gate will reopen if we keep fighting.

Is there really an Immortal Realm?

What's different about immortals?

They're all idiots who think they're immortals.

Do you know the secrets of the Immortal Realm?

You don't need to know

that kind of meaningless thing.

With your ability,

that place is a long way off.

If you say so.

But then again,

if this battle wasn't finished,

you didn't lose.

Maybe Wang Xianzhi would be exhausted

if you keep fighting.

If you lose, you lose.

Wang Xianzhi has a solid foundation,

and he learns quickly.

He's been cultivating himself steadily

and he has won almost every great martial artist

to hone his skill.

I wasted a few years,

and I can't win with one arm.

Anyway, in my heart,

you are the best in the world.

Who cares?

Having fun is what's important.

But during that battle,

Wang Xianzhi used nine-tenths of his force.

I'm afraid there are only a few people

who can force him to this point.

He didn't do his best?

If Wang Xianzhi does his best,

I'm afraid only Lyuzu 500 years ago

can get an edge over him!

Is he that strong?

Um.

Are we still gonna stay in Wudi City?

Of course.

Let's run now!

I even took Old Huang's sword box.

Just take it.

Wang Xianzhi will still do me such a little favor.

Well,

how big a favor do you think he can do for you?

What do you want?

Can I talk to Wang Xianzhi?

Why do the people of Mount Longhu want to kill you?

To weed the country of treacherous people.

Who are they?

Me,

and Xu Fengnian.

Both of us.

Hold on.

I can understand that Xu Fengnian is treacherous.

After all, North Liang is a big threat for the court.

What about you?

Didn't you say you are a prince?

It can't be helped.

I'm an illegitimate son.

The real reason I want to kill Xu Fengnian

is to instigate a war,

so that I can take the chance to hold military power.

Now I've been seen through.

It makes sense

that they want to kill me.

Who has seen through you?

Mount Longhu?

Mount Longhu is only the enforcer.

The person behind this

is probably Zhang Julu.

That old man is shrewd.

It's too hard to keep anything from him.

So you know why Mount Longhu wants to kill you?

Yes.

If I were them,

I would do the same thing.

Kill me

to prevent future chaos.

Since I refuse to be average,

I should take all the consequences

on my own.

I can't blame anyone else.

You even figured out who is behind this?

Yeah.

Then why do you still look so confused?

I just can't figure out

why he saved me.

He recognized the Fujiang Armor

and confirmed that I've been trying to kill him along the way.

We should be dead enemies now.

Why did he save me?

Because he wants to make friends with you?

If I've been trying to kill you all the time,

would you want to make friends with me?

I can't think of anything else.

I can't figure it out.

Never mind, let's go.

Go back to Wudi City?

Yeah.

To do what?

To kill Xu Fengnian.

He is still alive and kicking.

He saved you.

Are you still going to kill him?

I'm grateful to him in my heart,

but it doesn't conflict with killing him.

It's hard to get both you want.

There is no need to go.

Grand Master!

(Wudi City)

Wang Xianzhi!

Are you sleeping?

Let's have a chat!

Is that gonna get him to show up?

What's the matter?

He wants to see you!

The 12 Flying Swords of Deng Tai'e?

He gave it to him.

You are lucky.

Nice to meet you, Senior Wang.

I'm Xu Fengnian.

I need to ask for one favor from you.

No.

Two favors.

I need to ask for two favors from you.

Favors?

Go ahead.

The first thing

is that I want to borrow a good carriage from you.

To be frank with you,

I'm injured.

I don't want to go back by water.

You killed six martial slaves in Wudi City,

and you took the relic of Jian Jiuhuang.

Now you are asking me for a carriage?

I didn't kill those six men.

I'm not capable of doing that.

As for Old Huang's relic,

I will give you an account.

How?

Old Huang and Sword God Li

are my elders!

I will take over

what they left undone!

Dying in a battle is the fate of Old Huang

as a martial artist. He had no regrets.

I never

blamed you for that.

As for Senior Li's battle today...

I also lost.

The battle is not won yet.

Okay!

It's not won yet.

One defeat and one draw.

They both didn't win you.

Senior Wang,

give me some time!

I, Xu Fengnian, hereby swear to heaven

that I will return to Wudi City one day

and have a final battle with you

above the East Sea

for the sake of Sword God Li

and Old Huang!

Are you challenging me?

Yes!

Not only to challenge you,

I will beat you!

Young people now are bold indeed.

All right.

I'm gonna be crazy today, too.

I've never won you in my life.

Wang Xianzhi.

I'll give my last chance

to this boy.

Do you trust him?

What's good about the way of swords?

The good thing

is that it can be passed on!

Among the young people today,

you are the first one

who dares to challenge me in my face.

I'm afraid

you will also be the last one.

All right.

I'll wait for you.

Thank you, Senior Wang!

When I return to Wudi City,

I'll give the carriage back to you.

I'll have someone send you the carriage.

The second thing

is that I heard from someone

that you were also in the capital

when my mother was attacked.

You've been looking for the one who killed my mother?

Since Lady died,

I've been looking into it.

Everything I found out about the killer

over these years has been recorded in it.

I was in the capital

at that time.

It was recorded in a booklet

of my family who have been investigating it.

But no one has ever seen you as a suspect.

Because we all know

that if it was you who did it,

my mother would never make it out of the capital alive.

My presence in the capital had nothing to do with her.

I just want to ask you

who besieged and killed my mother.

I saw a few people

who weren't supposed to be in the capital,

but I didn't see them

during the battle.

Was this person in the capital that day?

(Han Diaosi) Yes.

Thank you, Senior Wang.

Who else was there

besides him?

I don't remember the names.

I only remember

I saw some people from North Mang in the capital.

People from North Mang?

Martial artists?

I guess.

For me,

they were all the same.

The royal family of Liyang

joined hands with their enemy

to ambush their own official.

How absurd.

Take it easy.

Thank you, Senior Wang.

What are you going to do?

I think it's time for me to get on another trip

after I get home.

Are you going to North Mang?

Yes.

Don't forget our engagement.

Rest assured.

I won't die in North Mang.

Senior Wang!

There is one last thing.

That's the third thing you're asking.

What did Old Huang say before he died?

Come on.

Bring wine

to His Highness.

Which way was he looking?

North.

Your Highness.

Wait for me.

I'll bring you the wine of the East Sea and we will drink together.

Okay.

You filled the cup!

Qingniao, get in the carriage.

Senior, you too.

(Wudi City)

Your Highness, you leave first.

I'll get Fengzi Battalion's brothers

and catch up with you soon.

Shu Xiu, you go with him.

Tell the boatman to go back down the river

and send them to North Liang.

Yes.

Let's go.

(Wudi City)

Go.

(Wudi City)

Go to West Shu?

Cao Changqing and the Princess of West Chu

have arrived in Shu.

The survivors of Chu are ready to take action.

The court believes that there will be turmoil in Shu.

This is a chance.

Exactly.

The court needs someone to go to Shu and put down the riot.

Could it be me?

Who else could it be?

But,

it's not supposed to be me.

Xu Xiao can't go there.

If North Liang takes over West Shu,

the whole world will be surnamed Xu.

What about Gu Jiantang?

Gu Jiantang called in sick.

His Majesty dares not

set free a tiger like him back to the mountains.

That's right.

The person who commands the army in West Shu

must be trusted by His Majesty.

Grand Master.

But,

there are also other princes.

I...

Who are willing

to risk their lives and fight against Cao Changqing?

They are either hesitant

or scared.

This is the chance of a lifetime.

I got the mission

of quelling the unrest in West Shu

for you.

This is

His Majesty's imperial secret edict.

But Cao Changqing is difficult to deal with.

I'll go to the west with you.

More importantly,

you don't have to make an enemy of Cao Changqing.

Let me ask you.

What's the ultimate goal of the Chu people?

To go back home?

That's right.

Hiding in Shu is only a temporary measure.

After Cao Changqing and the Princess of West Chu

gather those veterans together...

They will leave West Shu

and go back to Chu.

By that time,

there will be no one in West Shu who can hold you back.

You are the rightful commander

of the military.

At that time,

you will be the new Lord of West Shu.

I'm afraid that His Majesty would issue an order

and take back my power at that time.

Will you take such an order?

Of course not.

After I take control of Shu,

the next step is to reach beyond the border.

Beyond the border,

the wildness area?

After the wilderness and West Shu are stitched together,

it will provide me with the groundwork for taking control of the Central Plains.

I'll become an unshakable Lord of Shu

in the worst situation.

You are able to foresee that.

My teachings over these years have not been wasted.

Grand Master, thank you

for seizing such a good chance for me.

Say no more.

Let's set off for West Shu immediately.

Who is this guy?

Yuan Tingshan.

He used to be a retainer of the Xuanyuan Family.

Now he is driven desperate

and he can be used.

I'm willing to be a blade for the Lord of Shu

to kill all the enemies.

This world has finally given me a chance.

A chance

to make a great coup.

We're finally going back.

Eh.

Kid.

Let me see the flying swords of Deng Tai'e one more time.

Qingniao, open it for me.

Do you also know this sword array?

In the beginning, there are thousands of ways of swords,

but all the ways seem to lead to the same destination.

But it's just an illusion.

Kid.

No ways lead to the same destination.

The flying swords of Deng Tai'e

and my sword

look similar,

but they are totally different.

It's hard to explain to you.

The more I say, the harder for you to understand.

Figure it out yourself.

Excellent.

You deserve a reward.

The Fengzi Battalion is back.

Let's go home!

Grand Master.

Why are we taking so many turns along the way?

In case someone should block our way.

Will anyone block my way?

We must be careful all the time.

Why don't we speed up the horses?

The horses also need to rest.

Don't wear the horses out in the middle of the road.

Grand Master.

Wang Xianzhi and Li Chungang

could fly to the sky.

They used their genuine spirit.

Can you do it?

You tell me.

Xu Fengnian is also on his way home.

Do you even know that?

I have someone keep an eye on him from a distance.

When we were resting along the way,

there were spies reporting Xu Fengnian's whereabouts.

Is there a need to keep an eye on him?

If I can become the Lord of Shu,

I won't have to kill him.

Actually...

I've been thinking all the way

that you said

Xu Fengnian saved your life in Wudi City.

It doesn't make sense.

Could it be that Xu Fengnian knew

we are going to command the military in West Shu?

How could he know the secret edict?

Even if he knew,

why did he save Zhao Kai?

West Shu and North Liang can join hands to become more powerful.

Xu Fengnian is the next Lord of North Liang.

If he makes an alliance with the Lord of Shu,

he can rest assured without anxiety.

There is some truth in that.

It still doesn't make sense.

Xu Fengnian was thousands of miles away from the court.

How could he know what the court would do?

Furthermore,

when we were in Wudi City,

Grand Master hadn't come yet.

I didn't even know that I would go to West Shu.

Anyway,

Xu Fengnian had no reason to save you.

There is something odd about it.

So I had

spies keep an eye on him along the way.

Where did you get so many spies?

After all these years,

I should build some forces for myself.

It will all be yours one day.

Grand Master.

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't be here today.

If it weren't for your mother,

I wouldn't be here today, either.

All right, enough with this.

The spies reported

that Xu Fengnian and his entourage are heading for North Liang.

Based on the distance,

even they want to block us,

they can't.

That's foolproof then.

During these days,

Xu Fengnian has been in the carriage and never showed up.

Is he injured?

I don't know.

Your spies

can't block and search them, right?

Xu Fengnian and his entourage

are almost past Guangling.

What's that?

I sent a message to Zhao Yi, Lord of Guangling.

Zhao Yi?

That guy

is notorious among the vassals.

What message did you send to him?

Nothing important.

I mentioned two things.

One is

that the court is not happy

about Xu Fengnian leaving Wudi City

successfully.

What's the other thing?

Xu Fengnian is accompanied by a beauty.

Zhao Yi and his son are lascivious.

Do you want to

use Zhao Yi's

Guangling Army

to test Xu Fengnian?

Although that guy

is notorious,

he is no fool.

Would he dare to harm Xu Fengnian?

Why would he harm Xu Fengnian?

Just scare Xu Fengnian with the army

to make the court look good

and then take the girl away.

It's just a girl.

What can North Liang say?

Xu Fengnian

won't give her away.

Zhao Yi doesn't know what kind of person Xu Fengnian is.

With the way he handles things,

a girl

is not as important as an object.

Senior Li.

It's Zhao Yi's Guangling Army.

Senior Li.

It looks like there are over a thousand soldiers.

I finally got a good sleep.

It's so troublesome.

(Tingchao Pavilion)

(Tablet of Zhao Changling Tablet of Chen Qiong)

(Tablet of Wang Jian)

People all think

(Tablet of Shao Jingui) that you will trap yourself

(Tablet of Dong Dashun) on the top of Tingchao Pavilion forever.

Today is the Memorial Day of my brothers.

How can I not come?

Besides,

my prison is Tingchao Pavilion.

My activities

are restricted to Tingchao Pavilion.

Whether it's on the top

or beneath the ground,

I'm still

inside Tingchao Pavilion.

I've never crossed the border.

Well,

we do this every year.

There are fewer and fewer people

around us

but more and more

spirit tablets.

Finally,

we've gained world peace.

But they

can't see it.

They are seeing it now.

They've been seeing it.

Li Chungang defeated more than 2,000 soldiers with one slash of his sword.

The Guangling Army is terrified.

Do you hear it?

Do you hear it?

It's the one,

the Sword God Li

who had been with you

for years.

He showed

his power this time.

Fengnian

didn't show up.

You know what,

I've got everything prepared this time

for his trip to the martial world.

Let it be Qingzhou

or Jiangnan,

my plan

is basically seamless.

Chen Zhibao

never showed up in the camp.

No one

knows his whereabouts.

I can't believe

Fengnian pulled off his plan

when I got everything planned.

He even fooled me!

I didn't know

what he was doing

until the end.

If he followed

your plan all the time,

he would become

another Xu Xiao.

Um.

He chose

a different path from mine.

It's a path

I never dared to set foot on.

My son,

Xu Fengnian,

will break my chains on him

and face the world in his own way!

He is the next Lord of North Liang!

He will keep the flag of North Liang flying in the air

and guard

the world we built together!

Are you satisfied

with such a future

and such a Lord of North Liang?

Our time

is finally coming to an end.

North Liang

has a new lord now.
