his scimitar gleamed like frost and snow.]

as quick as fleeting light it galloped away.]

[Sword Snow Stride]

[Episode 22]

Where is Xu Feng Nian?

Sir. Watch them both for me.

Do you still want to go out in this state?

I'm the only person who can go.

Uncle.

Where are your beads?

Don't you have it with you?

Are these all your subordinates?

Uncle, can we speak somewhere else?

Follow me.

Let me go with you, Your Highness.

Stay here.

I'll speak with Uncle alone.

Is Wang Ming Yin dead?

The World's 11th Best was true to his name.

Luckily, I have Li Chun Gang
who knows the Two-sleeved Green Snake by my side.

The God of Blades is still alive?

He is in that carriage you saw just now.

Yet you still dare to come here with me?

Why not?

Staying by Li Chun Gang's side might save your life.

You're not going to kill me.

Why should I worry?

If I don't want to kill you, why
did I hire The World's 11th Best?

If you really want to kill me,
just send your massive army.

There's no need to hire someone
from the martial arts world.

Why do you think

I got Wong Yin Ming to kill you then?

The assassination at the wetlands

is an act for someone else.

For whom?

The Capital. His Majesty.

Beiliang is strong while
Qingzhou commands a huge army.

They are both defensive towns.

If you don't assassinate me,

how would His Majesty trust you?

You do know that Qingzhou and
Beiliang are destined to be enemies.

It's only caused by the current situation.

It was supposed to be an easy matter.

You could have left Qingzhou as long as you handed Wang Lin Quan to me.

But now, both of us have no way out of this.

That is Xu Xiao's idea.

I don't like it.

That's why I find my own way out.

Is fooling around with
my consort your way out?

In Xiangfan and even the whole of Qingzhou,

everyone knows Consort Pei Nan
Wei is the person you favor most.

Everyone in Qingzhou knows Lord
Jing'an sees Consort Pei Nan Wei as his treasure.

as his treasure.

Zhao Xun used to be
infatuated with Pei Nan Wei.

After that, she was married
to Lord Jing'an as his consort.

After they got married, Lord
Jing'an pampers the consort.

Besides Xiangfan, all of Qingzhou

knows the consort is Lord
Jing'an's most loved person.

Meanwhile, there's something on my mind.

What kind of person is Lord Jing'an?

Back when the lords fought for the throne,

you were the shrewdest person.

You never showed your
hand before the final moment.

You only lost to the current
emperor because of bad luck.

That happened a long time ago.

Why are you bringing it up?

How could someone so shrewd

let all the people of
Qingzhou know his weakness?

If you really favor Pei Nan Wei,

you'll only hide her in your mansion

and not let everyone know about it.

- Don't you know who I am?
- Go back.

Lord Jing'an is so nice.

He actually lets his own consort die with us.

Someone with weaknesses will
make people lower their guard.

However, looking at just the weakness on the surface

will make people overlook the real danger.

Pei Nan Wei is my weakness?

It's just a weakness you created.

It's just for show.

We are talking about whether to kill you or not.

You seem to be missing the point.

The weakness you showed us is my way out.

You actually know it.

There is only one reason for you
to let me leave Qingzhou openly.

Also, it won't cause any
doubts within the imperial court.

"Sending you off, a thousand miles away."

When I saw these
words, I told Pei Nan Wei.

What you said has a double meaning.

A double meaning?

The meaning on the surface is easy to understand.

A thousand miles
downwards is the underworld.

Uncle wants me dead.

The first meaning is to show the people.

I fooled around with your
consort and got myself in danger.

What is the second meaning?

The second meaning...

Uncle is giving me a gift.

And you are sending this gift to
a place that's a thousand li away.

What is the gift?

It's obviously Pei Nan Wei.

I'm going to send my own consort to you?

This is your best
reason for not killing me.

I'm a pervert, and I'm daring.

I fooled around with the
consort and even kidnapped her.

In the end, I used
her life to threaten you.

You have no choice except
for letting me leave Qingzhou.

The amazing thing about
this is after letting me go,

the imperial court will not worry about Qingzhou and Beiliang
working together in secret.

After all, stealing your consort is
something that cannot be forgiven.

If I really want to let you go,

why did I plan the wetlands assassination?

If you don't assassinate me,

how will the imperial court let their guard down?

A fake assassination?

It's not fake.

If I die, it means I'm not good
enough to be your ally.

Ally?

With your hatred towards me as cover,

Qingzhou and Beiliang

might be able to work
together in the future.

With the premise of you inheriting the throne as Lord of Beiliang?

Don't you want to try fighting for the throne again?

Xu Xiao

gave birth to a good son.

I saw you making a move just now.

Both of us want to kill Xu Feng Nian.

We can work together.

The 1,000 taels of gold belong to me.

Get lost. Otherwise, I'll kill you.

Get lost.

Sure. I'll get lost now.

Where is His Highness?

I got this blade manual from Wudi City.

Since you're using a
blade, it'll be useful to you.

What about this wooden box?

It contains half of the Wooden Horse-Bison.

God of Blades, Li's sword?

Exactly.

Although Wang Xian Zhi broke it,

a broken sword is still a divine item

in the hands of the God of Blades.

You've prepared this beforehand?

You knew Li Chun Gang is with me?

I got The World's 11th Best to assassinate you without worry

because I knew he's with you.

An assassination needs to look real.

But I can't really kill you.

Otherwise, that crazy old man Xu
Xiao will definitely invade Qingzhou.

I practice Buddhism,

but I wasn't planning to end up dead.

You may leave.

One last question.

Did you spend 1,000 taels
of gold to get a girl to kill me?

Is that true?

Miss He He is an assassin you trained?

You ask too many questions.

One last warning.

Don't bring Pei Nan Wei to Wudi City.

Something's wrong with her.

I suspect that she
approached my son on purpose.

So, I married her before anything happened.

He left?

That's right.

He left you here.

Don't you want to know

what I'm going to do to you?

I do have a question.

Ask away.

You sent Wang Lin Quan away and
asked me to come to the wetlands

because you knew
there would be an assassination?

I was prepared for this indeed.

You let the Wang family live

but you got the Feng Battalion
to risk their lives for you.

These people all died because of you.

Xu Feng Nian.

Your benevolence is false.

How dare you!

This is different.

How is it different?

A hundred men from Feng Battalion
followed me to Beiliang.

They met Red Armored General in the rain.

A total of 45 people died.

Another two people died

at the Chunshen Lake naval war.

There were only

less than ten people remaining

in today's battle.

These victims are the
same as Mr. Wang's family.

They are the people of Beiliang.

But they have different identities.

Mr. Wang's family members are civilians.

But the Feng Battalion is an army.

An army should use their blood and swords

to protect civilians like Mr. Wang's family

so no harm will go to them.

All of these sacrifices will be remembered in my heart.

I am sad.

But if it happens again, I'll
still make the same decision!

Because I can't escape.

And I won't escape.

Since the beginning,

I, Xu Feng Nian, have been fighting along with them,

and face adversities together.

The Feng Battalion

is honored to fight alongside Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Qing Niao hasn't woken up yet?

She's in that carriage. Someone's protecting her.

Thankfully, I held on.

If Lord Jing'an found out I'm heavily injured,

he might not let me leave in peace.

You did a good trade.

You had been thinking
of kidnapping the Consort.

If Lord Jing'an hadn't given me a chance,

I wouldn't have let Pei Nan Wei
come to the wetlands to send a letter.

We knew what each other was thinking
without saying it out loud.

You knew what that old fox was thinking?

A burrow of foxes.

He is a fox.

I'm a young phoenix.

Both of you are beasts anyway.

Your way of speaking
is getting harsher and harsher.

Speaking of beasts, I
thought of something.

What is it?

Do you remember

when we saw the divine tiger getting killed
at Mount Qingcheng?

I got lost in the forest then.

I saw someone riding a giant beast passing by.

I wonder what killed the divine tiger.

I saw it.

It ran past me.

What did it look like?

It ran very fast. I can't remember.

I remember it's black and white.

There was also someone riding on it.

Now that I think about it, the silhouette

looked like the girl
who assassinated you just now.

Are you saying that the divine tiger
was killed by Miss He He?

That means she has been following us
from Mount Qingcheng.

That's not right.

We haven't entered Qingzhou City then.

Is Lord Jing'an's reward not
her only reason for killing me?

She was lying to you.

That means she was already trying to kill me

when she was selling spiced beef at Lingzhou.

That's not right either.
She had so many chances for all these years.

Why did she only act now?

What's your relationship
with that Miss He He?

We met a few times when I was buying meat.

I didn't even know her name.

She was always laughing
so I called her Miss He He.

Also, Lord Jing'an's reminder is right.

Pei Nan Wei can't come with us.

Think about yourself first.

What's wrong with me?

Your eyes are bleeding.

Is this what they meant by
"blood oozing out from everywhere"?

I heard about this.

But I didn't expect to
experience it myself one day.

You'll die if you keep experiencing it.

Sir,

besides crippling my vitality,

is there any other way?

Yes.

Please tell me.

Absorb the life essence and
you'll live after you are reborn.

Reborn?

Dahuangting is hiding in your body

and is slowly seeping into your vessels.

It's steady, but it's dispersing quickly.

Initially, you can only accept 30%
at most in the end if this goes on.

Now, the girl injured you
heavily and messed up your qi.

If you can use this opportunity
to absorb it forcefully,

you can absorb at least 50%
of Dahuangting if it's successful.

You'll be reborn in that case.

Does that mean I can live
and even increase my powers?

No.

Absorbing forcefully means
reviving after you're dead.

Destroying your meridians
is like getting slashed by thousands of swords.

How long can you bear that pain?

How long do I need to bear it for?

I don't know how long it will take.

During that period,

you will feel like getting
sliced at every moment.

There's no way back once you begin.

If you give up, you will die
from all your meridians breaking.

This kind of pain is not
something a human can bear.

I want to try it.

You are the Prince of Beiliang.

You are already a man of authority

even if you don't know martial arts.

Why should you take this risk?

Huang died from challenging Wang Xian Zhi.

One day, I'll have to fight in his place.

Just because of Nine Swords Huang?

My mother's murderer is still unknown.

In the future, I have to avenge her.

You've decided?

Yes.

You chose this path on your own.

Don't blame me if you die.

I won't blame you.

I'm seeking death myself.

Are you not going to stop him?

I would have made the same choice as well.

Fine.

Take off your clothes
and sit down comfortably.

Young man, sit still.

I'm going to guide life essence
into your meridians.

After that, you'll have to endure it on your own.

Thank you, Sir.

Come.

This is just the beginning.

Bear with it.

Stop the carriage!

Sir.

You won't be able to help him.

He has to suffer all the pain alone.

No matter how painful it is,
it's better than being dead.

You'll lose everything if you die.

Why is he so quiet?

After feeling the pain for so
long, I think he has lost his voice

and has no strength to move anymore.

How many hours has it been?

How long does he need to suffer?

That depends on himself.

What if he can't endure it?

Then, he'll have to die.

Sir.

If His Highness dies,

we, the guards will have
to die together with him.

Please save his life.

There's no other way.

I don't think he can endure it anymore.

His Highness has been living a good life.

He can't take this kind of suffering.

Since it has come to this,

we should think about ourselves.

What are you trying to say?

I sided with Beiliang

to find support and also to obtain

the Baidi Baopu Skill from the Lord.

Although I sided with Beiliang,

I don't plan to lose my life.

You're leaving?

When His Highness dies,

no one knows how the Lord is going to punish us.

If we leave now,

we might still live at least.

A deserter is punishable by death.

I'm a bodyguard.

Not a soldier.

General Ning.

Let her go.

Xu Feng Nian won't endure this.

I hope all of you can think of the consequences.

This is so awkward.

How nice would it be if you were to leave later?

Please punish me.

I thought you were leaving.

Since you're not dead,

staying here will be
more beneficial to me.

Stand up.

Your Highness.

We shouldn't let her stay.

I will give you the Baidi Baopu Skill.

Shu Xiu is willing to die for Your Highness.

This is empty talk.

Both of us know that you're not willing to die.

But it's all right.

Those who serve me
don't have to die with me.

Beiliang is big.

There will be a place for you.

After Xu Xiao, comes Your Highness.

Beiliang is destined to prosper.

Is there a stream or a water hole around here?

My clothing is full of blood.

The invincible Qilin Armor.

Invincible?

I was still beaten up to this
state by Miss He He's Hand Blade.

That girl's martial arts are strange.

Without this armor,
you would've been dead.

What a pity it's the only one around.

You don't need it anyway.

Which phase of Dahuangting are you on now?

According to Wudang's
calculation, it's the fourth phase.

What dumb luck you have.

Wang Chong Lou's Dahuangting
is just the sixth phase.

That means I have to
thank Miss He He instead.

You can give her your life as thanks.

Sir.

Am I an expert now?

My foot.

But your mind is quite tough.

Can you consider teaching me some superior sword techniques?

You're a blade user,
but you want to learn sword techniques.

I want to be all-rounded.

You're greedy.

This is the Two-Sleeved Green Snake.

If you can't learn it by the time we reach Wudi City,

that means you're not fated with this technique.

You're going to teach me Two-Sleeved Green Snake?

Whatever.

It's not like
you are guaranteed to master it anyway.

What are you looking at?

Didn't Lord Jing'an return you
your Wooden Horse-Bison?

Why are you still using a wooden sword?

I threw it away.

You threw it away? Why?

Why do I want a broken sword?

That is a famous sword.

Won't you regret it?

At my level, I'm still the God
of Blades with a blunt sword

from the swordsmith.

What level are you on?

Without me, Li Chun Gang,

the sword techniques of this world
will be stagnant.

It's truly rare in this world to see someone

praising himself like that.

I'm already being humble.

That's enough rest.

It's time to leave.

Oh right, Sir.

Have you thought about getting married?

What do you think about Pei Nan Wei?

Have you lost your mind?

To be honest,

this consort is troublesome.

Even Lord Jing'an thinks she is suspicious.

If we bring her along, I wonder
how much trouble she'll cause us.

But we can't send her back to Xiangfan.

If you're willing to take her,

I'm sure you can keep her under control.

Get lost!

- Master Wei.
- Your Highness, Sir.

The cavalry of Qingzhou
is catching up to us.

That's not possible.

If Lord Jing'an wanted to kill
me, why would he wait till now?

It is the prince, Zhao Xun.

He came for the consort.

See?

Here comes our trouble.

Hand her over. I'll let all of you go.

We meet again.

Has the wound on your face recovered yet?

Hand her over!

Which one?

You kidnapped the Consort of Lord Jing'an.

Are you looking down on Qingzhou?

You brought just a few men to stop us.

Your father doesn't know about this, right?

This is a grudge between Qingzhou and Beiliang.

It's unrelated
to the people of the martial arts world.

Are you afraid?

The Feng Battalion requests
to fight and capture him so Your Highness can punish him.

What about this?

Let me ask her for you.

If she is willing to go
with you, I'll let her go.

You heard everything.

Do you want to return to Xiangfan with him?

See? She's not willing to.

That's impossible. I'm sure you threatened her.

Stop addressing her without a name.

She is technically your "mother" after all.

Prepare to rush in.

(Your Highness!)

(It's all Fatty Lu's fault!)

I deserve to be punished!

(You've suffered, Your Highness!)

Your Highness! Your Highness!

I came late, (Your Highness!)

(Your Highness!) (Show me, Your Highness!)

(Did you get injured?)

(Did you get scratched?)

Even this monster, Chu Lu Shan is here.

There's even Li Chun Gang.

How can I kill him?

It's too difficult.

(It's Feng Battalion's mistake)that caused your injury.

All right. Stand up. Stand up.

Your Highness.

Who is this?

Lord Jing'an's son. He is here to fight us.

That's great.

Chu Lu Shan. As a third-rank military official,

how could you bring an army out of Beiliang
without approval?

He talks a lot.

Let's kill him.

He is still a prince after all.

It's bad to kill him.

That's easy.

Just kill all of them
and burn all their bodies.

You hear that?

It's not too late to leave now.

If we really start to fight, I
won't be able to stop him.

Your Highness. Chu Lu Shan is famous for being violent.

I'm afraid we can't win if we fight them.

I'll definitely seek revenge
for the humiliation you caused.

I dare you to point at His Highness again.

- Let's return to Xiangfan.
- Hold on.

Don't push your luck.

Give me back my blade.

Let's go!

You're so lenient.

Someone like him should be killed.

Why are you here?

Godfather asked me to come.

Xu Xiao?

Isn't he in the Capital?

Godfather said once the messenger foal eagle
sent a sword tassel,

I would lead the cavalry
to Qingzhou to look for you.

- Where did the eagle come from?
- I don't know.

I saw a foal eagle coming
that day and I departed.

Thankfully, I got here on time.

I didn't let you suffer... Wait.

What did he ask you to do at Qingzhou?

He didn't say anything. He only asked me to follow your instructions.

Why don't I follow you to Wudi City?

Nonsense.

What should I do then?

Return to Beiliang.

I came all the way here, and
you're asking me to go back now?

Why don't you get them to go back?

I'll stay here alone.

You're a deputy third-rank official. Coming to Qingzhou is the most you can do.

If you follow me, what will the capital think?

I'll resign then.

Nonsense. Get lost immediately.

Your Highness.

Shut up.

I came all the way here...

Wait.

Speaking of which,

I do have something I need you to do.

This is Lord Jing'an's consort?

She's quite pretty indeed.

Send these two people back to Beiliang.

I'd rather you kill me than
hand me over to Chu Lu Shan.

Look how bad your reputation is.

Consort, don't worry.

Although I did all the dirty things before,

there's only one thing I don't do.

I never touch anyone
handed to me by His Highness.

Send Qing Niao back to the
residence so she can recuperate.

As for her, she has a unique identity after all.

She can't stay in the residence.

Why don't I find a residence and
hide her in Yanzhi Commandery?

That works too. But keep it a secret.

I understand.

I won't tell anyone, and I will
guard her until you come back to enjoy her slowly.

What are you talking about?

She is technically my "aunt".

That is why I need to keep it a secret.

Enough talk. Just guard her.

Understood.

I know you're hiding something.

When I return to Beiliang, I'll take my time to ask you about it.

Your Highness.

You're awake.

I'm not going back.

You are injured.

I'm willing to follow you.

Chu Lu Shan will not follow them.

Grandmaster.

Are you going to do this yourself?

I can't show myself.

If you don't do it,

who else can kill Xu Feng Nian
with Li Chun Gang by his side?

Even if I do it,

I might not be able to win against Li Chun Gang.

What?

What should we do then?

Right now, only the Metal Armor is left

from the five sets of Red Armor.

Let's go to Mount Longhu.

Mount Longhu?

Find the Four Celestial Masters of Longhu?

Go deep into the rear mountain

and find the Fisherman
at the Bottomless Water Hole.

If we want to fight Li Chun Gang,

he'll be our only hope.

Is this Fisherman a hidden expert?

But why would he help us kill Xu Feng
Nian without any reason?

His name is Zhao Huang Chao.

He also has the royal blood flowing in him.

Someone from the royal family?

The Xu family is still a threat
to the royal family after all.

If we bring up this point,

he should be able to act for us.

When Xu Feng Nian dies,

I have to fuel the flames from the side

so Xu Xiao can rebel against the Capital.

When the world is in chaos,

you'll have a chance to seize the throne.

Thank you, Grandmaster.

Thank you for your efforts.

All the plans have to start from Xu Feng Nian's death.

I understand.

This brother-in-law of mine has to die.

(Do take care, Your Highness.)

If anyone speaks badly about you along
the way, remember all of them.

I'll wipe them out when I come back.

How dare you say that?

Are you not afraid of the military law?

You are more important than the military law.

There's another thing I need you to do.

Wang Lin Quan's family has returned to Beiliang.

Take good care of them. Don't let them suffer.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

Lv Qian Tang died at the wetlands.

This is his ashes.

Take this back to Beiliang.

Find where the Lin family was last buried.

Before he died,

he said he wanted his ashes
to be scattered at the river.

But I think he still wants to return home.

Let him go home.

I'll definitely get it done.

Take care, Your Highness!

Where is Yu You Wei?

She's ahead of us, not far from here.

Let's meet up with Yu You Wei
before we continue moving East.

Yes.

You.

My meridians were blocked momentarily.

I feel much better now after some sleep.

Your Highness. I can still steer the carriage.

Enough. Focus on your recovery.

Where are we going next?

Jiangnan. To see my elder sister.

Chu Lu Shan was sent by Xu Xiao, right?

Yes.

What great timing to be here.

I thought I didn't pick the path he chose.

But in the end, all my movements are
still within his expectations.

He is your father.

No one knows you better than him.

You won't escape the path he set for you.

Let's depart.
