[Chasing Waves (逐浪) by Shang Wenjie (尚雯婕)]

♫ The blade's light overflows unrestrained like a spray ♫

♫ Spraying across the mountain and rivers in the rain ♫

♫ The sword's shadow concentrates into a ruler ♫

♫ Ruling over as multiple seasons come and go ♫

♫ A bend of cyan waters breaks up the Chuan river ridge ♫

♫ How can the Chuan river ridge tackle a mighty army? ♫

♫ A jug of cold wine has become a worrying attachment ♫

♫ Drunken with worries, filled with wild sands ♫

♫ Who said, "The place in which you feel safe is your hometown?”♫

♫ The place I feel safe is by your side ♫

♫ Who recalls past hatreds and hostility yet forgets? ♫

♫ Hot tears cannot blame the west winds for being cold ♫

♫ Who laments that meeting and separations are like a dream? ♫

♫ Being ready for combat was not in vain in the end ♫

♫ Who asked where the surging river is headed? ♫

♫ To the ends of the earth we'll go, with your hand in mine, together chasing waves.

[Legend of Fei]

[Episode 16]

Remember, the northern blade can sever water and bind threads. The blade's style is lingering and treacherous,

but it follows its own sense of proper rules.

Don't worry, I will delay them.

You are underestimating them!

Azure Dragon Master's people have a superior sense of hearing compared to regular people.

Speaking in a lower voice is no different from speaking in front of them.

I can hear, perfectly and clearly, what you are saying.

You brat, are you still alive?

Wait for me to hand you over to my Master and see how he will deal with you!

Let's first teach these two a lesson!

Wait a second! Think about it! Do you really want to raise your hand at us?

What is there to think about?

Think carefully. Do not force me to make my killer move.

Killer move?

How will you kill me? I want to hear about it.

Initially, I was very merciful and I blocked the cave entrance.

I didn't want to let you come here and make a suicide attempt.

But in the end it turns out that you are really looking for death.

Let's see if you still dare to speak like that after I tear out your tongue!

You only know a few formations?

But, in reality, your formations cannot withstand a single blow.

This kind of tactical formation contains the intrinsic order of the enhancement and inhibition of the five elements.

If one person strikes the gong, the enemies will attack and you will show weakness.

The other four people advance in an unbroken line.

These five people all defend each other.

They also mutually swap in and out of other groups.

Therefore, this change will be endless.

Many people know about this formation. So what?

But there aren't many people who understand its weakness, are there?

Weakness? It's not possible that you know.

For example, that Metal standing in northwestern position.

If Metal is not stable enough, the other four soldiers won't be very effective.

Stinking brat! Did you tell them? You are living off us while helping them!

Why would I tell them? I am not even in their group.

Besides, my acupoints have been blocked by them. I can't even move.

Young Master Yin, it is not relevant if we are on the same side or not.

But today we have no choice but to become partners.

Think about it yourself. What if we die?

You've spent so much time with Azure Dragon Master, so you understand how he is.

Do you think he'll let you off? You'll end up dying anyway.

Even if you know the way to overcome the Copper Gong Formation,

are you skilled enough in martial arts to do it?

Alright. Then let's have a try!

Withdraw!

Yes.

I have been waiting for you the entire night.

You are pretty daring! I notice that your style in using the blade resembles the Huxiang style.

It is unwieldy.

It doesn't fit well with a young lady who is beautiful as a flower.

I've just thought it over.

I think killing you would be such a pity.

Let's put it this way. If you are willing to follow me,

I will write off

everything you have done before.

Is it like that?

Follow me and you will eat delicious foods and drink strong liquors.

Wherever you go, in or out, there will be people to serve you.

Whatever you like, you can have it. You will wear gold and jade, corals, as you please.

You will be so much better off compared with the unpresentable state you are in now.

Then, if I kill your people and destroy your crude gong formation,

will you still be able to write this off?

Compared to this beautiful face of yours,

everything can be written off.

Tell me, what is your name?

I really like hot-tempered women.

You all are really something.

You go so far as to send a little girl to confront Azure Dragon Master.

You have no idea how despicable Azure Dragon Master is.

You do not know your own limitations.

Severed Water Binding Thread!

Even at this kind of moment,

that old defenseless fellow actually taught you a few moves?

However, it's a shame. Trying to use something you just learned won't work against me.

To deal with useless people like you, this is enough.

Stinky little girl!

Just now you dared to feint two moves.

I still remember the first time when we came to grips,

you were no more than a novice bluffing and blustering

before running away.

Now after just a few hours,

you've really made me see you in a new light.

What do you think you are?

I changed my mind again.

No matter who it is that saw you, they will want to destroy people like you.

There's no way I'm letting you practice another eight to ten years of martial arts!

After all your nagging so far, this is the only sentence that sounds good.

It won't take me eight to ten years to kill you.

What mad arrogance!

Be careful, he has body armor.

No wonder I couldn't cut him. I thought he was indestructible.

If it wasn't for his lousy armor, I would've

twisted off this old guy's arms long ago.

- What are you doing?- Helping you.

What are you helping me with?

Blocking the blade for you.

Pretty boy, have you had enough of watching the show?

Years ago, there was a fine craftsman in Penglai.

It is said that his hands could touch a stone and turn it into gold.

He forged many miraculous weapons.

Apart from that, there was also an Evening Cloud Gauze.

It is said the entire body of this object is clear and bright.

When it is in a dark place, it looks like a surge of moonlight.

It feels extremely light, yet when worn it is impervious to sword or spear.

As far as I know, this Evening Cloud Gauze

was commissioned by Sword of Mountains and Rivers Yin Wenlan for his wife.

When you wear it, don't you feel that it's a little tight?

What do you really want to say?

I am just a little curious.

Since all the stuff from the Yin family is in your hands,

why have you not become the second Sword of Mountains and Rivers?

What else do you know?

There is nothing I don't know.

Hai Tian Yi Se.

Your glib tongue is just used to stall for time. It's not used to look for trouble.

Azure Dragon Master.

Let's talk nicely. Don't rush.

Out of the four characters "Hai Tian Yi Se," which one of them is your enemy?

Please tell me some other day, I promise I will not mention it again.

You stinky boy!

I knew he wouldn't want to kill me.

What are you doing?

Miss Wu, please move aside so you won't get hurt.

Alright.

Aren't you disabled?

You thought the Blade of the North is disabled,

so you'd no longer have anything to worry about.

Zheng Luosheng, it appears there's a reason

why you have not improved in your martial arts skills after all these years.

No wonder you are the Blade of the North from outside the Pass.

You can stand up again even after you've been disabled.

Good. Perfect timing.

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to experience the awesome skills of the two blades and lone sword.

I'll find out today,

if I have not improved my skills,

then how much have you, the Blade of the North, have progressed?

I want to ask you something first.

Is it true that you killed the young and old of the Yin family?

This is not a false accusation about you, right?

It's none of your business.

So what if I did it, or if I didn't do it?

Yin Wenlan was a martial arts grandmaster.

A hundred lives within the whole Yin household

were destroyed in one night.

This is my business.

Since I have gotten my answer,

then this matter is easily settled.

Ji Yunchen, let's not mention you being disabled.

Even if you were not,

it's not guaranteed that you could win against me.

Whoever will be victorious, or whoever can prove he possesses stronger skills,

that is no longer important.

What's important is that

I will end your life today.

I'd like to see what the disabled Blade of the North

can really do.

Young Hero Yin, isn't Azure Dragon Master's death what you really want to see?

You're indeed smart, Young Master Xie.

It's hard to see who will win in this current situation.

Why don't we help each other?

Those needles of his—

Let's talk about it later.

I will simply not tell you.

Can't you think of another line?

First unlock his acupoints.

You don't need to worry.

I've promised to become your ally, so I won't go back on my word.

I always believed that a killing spirit must be ferocious.

I only realized just now that the true killing spirit

is extremely faint and ordinary, neither displaying mountains nor revealing waters. (T/N: not conspicuous or flaunting)

But it is also everywhere.

This is really the true blade of killing. Hero Ji doesn't have much time left;

after the Soul Seeking Needle has taken effect, he won't be able to last too long.

I got into this big fight just for you little beast!

You even decided to send yourself right into my grasp!

A'Pei.

That Evening Cloud Gauze really doesn't suit you.

Stinky girl!

Miss Zhou.

Elder Ji.

A lonely soul that sought to enter your body, it becomes an untamed spirit upon leaving.

The Soul Seeking Needle is also called the Great Revival Needle.

It's a secret practice from beyond the Pass.

It can allow someone to run a thousand li a day and let dying cinders glow again. (experience a resurgence or revival)

No matter how serious the illness or how life-threatening the injury,

they can all be overcome.

However...

the revival from the brink of death

ends within three quarters of an hour.

Miss Zhou,

before I die,

I was able to practice a few moves with you

and pass on the skills of Severed Water Binding Thread.

I am satisfied.

I don't care anymore about northern or southern blades.

I remember what Master Yin said to me.

In the next ten years, there will be more than enough

perilous difficulties for you to overcome.

I merely don't want you younger generations

to die by my hands for no reason.

Elder Ji.

A'Pei.

I'm sorry.

This is all I could do

in repayment.

You should go.

Is there nothing we can do to save him?

By Heaven!

I wish to know you intimately for a lifetime, without breaking or waning.

When Heaven and Earth join as one, that's when I’d dare to break away from you.

These literature scholars only enjoy showing off their words with wasteful poetry.

They are not like me, challenging all other martial arts masters

and establishing my own sect. How joyous!

Regardless of being number one in the world,

or enjoying fame for half a lifetime,

everything will

go with the wind...

Young Hero Yin.

You killed Azure Dragon Master and Hero Ji is also dead.

Your revenge is complete.

Then the favor of raising you for ten or so years, what does that count for?

He's already dead;

it's probably what he wants.

Are you also looking for Hai Tian Yi Se?

What I, Yin Pei, want to do,

is none of your business!

This belongs to my family.

But since the Azure Dragon Master touched it,

I don't want it anymore.

Take it.

If you don't like it,

throw it away.

- Young hero— - Miss Chuchu.

Keep it with you, then.

There will be dangers ahead. Since you don't have any martial arts skill,

it might keep you safe in moments of crisis.

Keep it, then.

A peerless master like Elder Ji [Ji Yunchen's grave]

could only conceal his identity. Heroes are hard to find.

Elder, when you were still young and inexperienced, you stunned the world with your blade.

Today, I had the fortune of seeing the revival of Severing Water Binding Thread.

I, Zhou Fei, have engraved it in my heart.

Elder, you said that blades are used to conduct work, not to conduct oneself as a human being.

Here, I promise you,

Severing Water Binding Thread will continue.

I, Zhou Fei, will not fail the blade in my hand.

When remembering your glory, your natural ease transcended the world's hardships. (from Li Bai's poem "General Wang Xizhi")

Now, sadly, a pile of soil covers it all.

Hero Ji, you exhausted your life to remedy your wrongdoing.

In any case, it has now all been written off at one stroke.

I truly admire what you took upon yourself.

I hope that in the next life, you can still manifest your graceful bearing

and open up your aspirations.

Hero Ji, we know that

you worry the most about Yin Pei.

We hope he will soon understand what you wanted him to learn,

go back to the right path,

and do honor to his Yin family name.

Li Sheng, there is something I am curious about.

Why didn't you follow your grandfather and father and learn the Snow Cleaving Blade,

but instead wanted to learn double swords?

In our 48 Strongholds, many sects

are mixed together.

When I was younger, I liked to run around everywhere.

I liked everything I saw.

I wanted to learn everything I liked.

Back then, I thought double swords should be stronger than a single blade or a single sword.

So I learned Xiaoxiang Sect's double swords form.

After that, I also wanted to learn the Blade of the South,

but I didn't know how to open up the subject with my aunt.

And about my sword skills now, they are not that strong.

You being able to be introspective is something rare.

As a matter of fact, this "ancestral heritage" and "sect" business

may not be the most important.

You are Li Zheng's grandson,

but you don't necessarily have to learn the Blade of the South.

If you are a fisherman's son, that doesn't mean you must know how to catch fish.

The logic behind all this is,

you should ask yourself more.

I realized that your sword technique

is self-limiting by your hands and feet, not simple enough.

It's because you have too many distracting thoughts.

When learning double swords,

you especially need extraordinary focus.

I hope you will slowly understand more

concerning the sword techniques I have taught you these days.

You've been teaching me tactical formations,

how does that turn into sword skills?

There is one principle that governs everything in this world.

Generally speaking, tactical moves are similar to sword techniques,

just like sword techniques involve tactical moves.

It all depends on your understanding.

I will be leaving soon.

You should take care of yourself.

Daoist Master, why don't I stay with you for a few more days?

There is no need.

Daoist Master, where do you plan to go next, then?

I'll roam to wherever I feel like going.

Now that the Qi School is gone,

then I’ll take the four seas as my home.

We have already walked for several hours.

Chuchu has followed us and traveled this far.

It is not easy for her.

Actually, it is harder on you.

After fighting with Azure Dragon Master, you still have the strength to walk this far.

Your physical strength is not bad.

Are you trying to praise me or mock me?

Of course it is to praise you.

Looks like I still need to practice my skill at praising people.

That all depends on whether Heroine Zhou will give me the chance or not.

Give...I'll give you a slap!

That hurt a lot.

A’Fei.

There's a dilapidated house over there. Let's go and rest there first.

That's it! Let me go first and clean up this rural inn.

A'Fei, I'm sorry.

Why?

You and Big Brother Xie both practice martial arts.

I cannot keep up with you and slow you down in this journey.

That's not true. Don't worry about it.

A'Fei, are you not feeling well?

I'm fine. It's under control.

Is the Wilted Flourish vital energy bothering you again?

I'll go and tell Big Brother Xie.

Don't tell him. I have the vital energy under control.

Don't make him worry.

This way, my two guests.

You've done a good job.

Come, have a seat please. Heroine, sit.

- Move it back a little bit. - All right.

A'Fei, if you meet opponents like Azure Dragon Master again in the future,

you can’t be this reckless again.

Then should I be afraid of death like you?

So it turns out that in A’Fei’s heart, I’m that sort of person.

I—

A’Fei.

The aged rocks at the edge of the bridge have accumulated innumerable layers of frost.

The traveler leaves for the far ends of the world and doesn’t return.

Is this your new work?

New lines.

“The Order of Being Afraid of Death.”

I said the wrong thing...

you are not afraid of death.

A’Fei, you knew that you couldn’t defeat Azure Dragon Master,

why did you still promise Elder Ji to do that?

I just thought that, why should they, those who are so evil,

be so prideful all the time. Why should these evil people

be so overt and parade this gross injustice of 20 years ostentatiously about town by pasting it on their foreheads?

But all the innocent and good people who are dead should become the banner they show off with?

Isn’t it because they have been spoiled by people who are angry, but don't dare to fight back?

My new play

is actually the story of a deserter.

What’s so good about the story of a deserter?

What’s so good about a hero’s story, then?

After tea and food, why not talk about the story on being afraid of death?

Sure, sure, sure.

If there is an opportunity, I, Zhou Fei, will hit drums to let the whole world know that

you, Xie Yun, are not afraid of death.

Well, thank you, then.

Then continue to tell the story of the deserter.

I actually really do want to listen to it.

When he's not running away,

he thought he was some amazingly big hero,

who would definitely be able to return home in fine clothes and marry the girl he loved in grand style.

But then he realized the dynasty didn’t need his help

and didn’t need him to command soldiers, either.

No one thought of him as a person.

He was merely live bait to entice the enemy and to penetrate their defense.

Wherever he died, his mission was completed.

And so, he ran away.

Anzhi, I have used all my martial art’s power

- to hold back the poison temporarily within your veins. - Little Junior Uncle!

Although from now on you will not be able to practice martial arts,

but you can live for me and live a good life.

And then what? What are you thinking about?

What happened to that deserter?

Nothing much.

Unfortunately, there were too many dangers on his path. He returned home

and didn’t see the girl he loved, either.

Why?

Because that girl is a...Water Grass Elf!

And has already left by riding on a carp.

I-I have rested enough.

I’ll go over there and look for some food.

- A’Fei! - A’Fei!

This is bad. Her pulse is unstable. It must be because the two different forms of vital energy are warring within her.

Then what should we do?

Hengyang City. There is someone in Hengyang City who can save A’Fei.

- Except— - Except what? Say it quickly.

This person moves around a lot; I don't know if he is in the city.

Then we have to give it a try.

Who is it?!

A’Fei, if you can hear me, then help us out a little.

Only if we escape from here can we save your life.

Your Majesty? Your subordinate greets Your Majesty.

General Flying Minister?

You really are good at keeping up with me.

Your Majesty, I have already let the soldiers return to camp.

I stayed here for a few more days, hoping that you were well.

What’s wrong with Miss Zhou?

It’s a long story. In short, the situation is not good.

Your Majesty, you should come back with me to camp.

Miss Zhou’s illness can’t be cured by the physician back at camp.

In Hengyang City, there are martial artists who can save her. General Wen, I will take my leave now.

- But— - But what?

If anything serious happens to Miss Zhou, can you bear the responsibility?

General Wen, if you really want to help,

then take Miss Wu to Lord Gantang for Miss Zhou's sake.

Miss Wu, do you think...

I'm willing to go with the general.

Then, A’Fei is in your hands.

Your Majesty, don’t worry.

Then Your Majesty, you must be careful!

Father, it really hurts.

A'Fei, does it still hurt?

Yes.

Where does it feel uncomfortable?

Father, your back

why does it feel so uncomfortable today?

Hold on, A'Fei.

Father...

Why is your back so uncomfortable today?

A'Fei, what are you talking about?

I said, Father, why have you gotten thinner?

Your back is not as comfortable as before.

I’m sorry, then you’ll have to put up with it for a little while.

A'Yun.

Oh, it's you. I thought you were someone else.

What did you just call me?

I said, if I have a daughter,

her nickname will be A'Yun.

Just now, didn't someone think I was her father?

You little girl, why can't you stay put even when you are injured.

Where are we going?

Hold on still and don't move. We will be at Hengyang soon, can you hold on?

Yes, h-hurry up a little more.

[48 Strongholds]

Chief, this is already the fifth letter.

If Lord Gantang still does not reply,

I am afraid it...

Manager Ma, I need to trouble you to do something.

Chief, please give me your orders.

There are many varied and miscellaneous affairs at the stronghold, so I can't get away.

Old Madam Wang has been gone for more than a month, but there has been no news from her.

We also don't know if she has found General Wu's children.

Other elders in the stronghold haven’t gone down the mountain for a long time and the situation down there is complicated.

After thinking it through, I have to ask you to go down the mountain and take a look.

This is all within my duty.

Also, our secret posts...

What is Chief's order?

Nevermind, we can talk about the secret posts another time.

Getting the kids back is more important.

Aunt, Aunt. My brother and A' Fei have both left the mountain.

I am the only one left here. I am not having it.

What are you playing at now? Tell me straight if you have something to say.

Uncle Ma, aren't I pitiful?

- Both of them don’t want me anymore. - Who would dare not want you?

Everyone in the entire 48 Strongholds

- don’t even have time to cherish you. Who would not want you? - Ma Jili, that child.

She’s been spoiled too much. Always being pitiful following and holding you by the nose.

Aunt! Just let me go with Uncle Ma and find my brother and sister.

I miss them. I’m nearly dying from missing them so much.

Chief, how about this time, I'll take Yan'er with me?

All right. All right.

Fine. Fine.

[Letter from Jinrong]

How many letters have there been?

Replying to Eldest Manor Master, this is already the fifth letter.

These letters, each one is more urgent than the last.

Looks like Li Jinrong can’t hold on any longer.

Our fish are about to enter into our net.

Get Gu Tianxian to prepare.

Yes.

Along the way, I want to go to Hengyang City

to meet an old friend.

After walking this road for a few more days, I can probably get to the 48 Strongholds soon.

I wonder if Aunt and the other elders

will scold me after seeing me.

Manor Master!

Manor Master, we have already traveled for quite a few days.

Why don’t we stay here for a rest? [Gu Tianxian, Giang Killer Leopard of Disha Heights Manor]

We cannot. We don't have enough time.

Over at Hengyang City, they are still waiting for our news.

This kind of important moment, if I am not around,

they can't finish it.

That is clearly Disha's clothing.

What are they doing over here?

Manor Master, if we are tight on time, this subordinate has a method to reduce our travel time.

- Quickly say. - In these forests, there is a small trail that can take us to Hengyang City.

If we take the small trail, it will be much faster than if we used the main roads.

That's fine. Let's rest here for a moment.

After we've rested enough, we will use the small path

and go up the mountain.

Hengyang City? What is the Disha scheming?

Miss Wu, my apology for asking you to take such a rugged path.

But it's very safe here, more covert than the main road.

General, I am fine. Actually, we can walk faster.

Don’t slow down our journey.

I wonder how A'Fei is doing now.

Miss, rest assured. With His Majesty with her, Miss Zhou should be safe.

That's good.

Miss, be careful.

What's wrong, General?

Here is a trap the hunters set up.

Looks like there are a lot in this forest.

How about this. Miss Wu, you wait here for me.

- I will take a look around. I'll be right back. - General, be careful.

You can't be...the daughter of General Wu?

Who are you?

A'Fei and I have seen a painting of you.

There is not enough time to explain. Disha is behind us. You should hide quickly.

Quickly.

There are traps all over here.

Traps?

G-g-go this way.

Young Master, why are you saving me?

Listen, I can escape safely, but Disha will definitely recognize you.

If you get caught, it's over for the both of us.

I'll think of a solution.

Hold my sword.

You be careful.

Report to Manor Master, there seems to be some activity in the forest ahead.

- Take a look. - Yes.

Report to Manor Master, it is some trap that some hunters have set up. Someone has fallen into one.

Who is it? Did you see clearly?

A young male in his 20s, probably a passerby.

Pull him up and let me see him.

These hunters really are cruel.

Come up.

Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Flying Legend Team @ Viki

Who are you?

My Lord, I’m just a hunter from nearby.

Hunter?

A hunter can even fall into the trap they made themselves?

Liar.

Tell the truth!

You all... are from different towns, right?

You might not know, in this forest,

there are nearly over a hundred hunters.

These traps that are placed for hunting,

there are at least over a hundred.

When we go out and into the wilderness,

we are also basically blind as to where the traps are.

Over a hundred traps?

You two, have a look ahead.

- Yes. - Yes.

Giant Leopard. So he is part of Disha.

Gu Tianxian.
