[The Blood of Youth]

[Episode 2]

Interesting.

These people don't even know what the Golden Coffin contains.

And they dare meddle in this.

Senior Brother. While it's chaotic down there...

- Hand it over! - Hand it over now!

I can't tell how strong the white-haired man with the jade sword is.

- Hurry up now! - Quick!

So noisy.

Senior Brother... D-Did you see him unsheathe his sword?

Only the first three slashes.

After that... it was all a blur.

I've been cleaning up a lot of weaklings lately.

To my surprise, it seems quite a few got through.

I'm afraid neither Tang Lian nor I can defeat him.

In order to do that...

Although Sangu City saw a surge in visitors recently, many people have gone missing too.

In order to spare Young Master Tang the hassle,

I've already eliminated all the unnecessary ones.

You make that sounds nice,

but you merely wiped out my rivals.

And now you want me to fight you.

Yes, that too.

So you're here for the coffin, too.

That belongs to Xueyue City.

It seems like you don't what it is you're transporting.

It doesn't belong to Xueyue City.

You know what it is?

Of course.

Sir, I think you're mistaken.

Right now, the most important thing here at Belle Manor is our bet.

If you're not interested,

please move aside.

A bet?

A bet of life and death.

I'm a swordsman.

Only my sword decides my fate.

Not a few dice.

However, I'm in the mood to play this game with you two tonight.

If you two win, you'll have one night to flee.

Looks like you really have a lot of confidence.

Confident or not,

we'll know after the game.

Telekinesis.

I can't believe you would use such lousy tricks like this.

What?

Come here!

Do the people from Xueyue City only know how to kill and nothing else?

One round to decide the outcome.

If you win, I'll leave.

If I win, leave the coffin here.

That sounds fair.

I once gambled with someone for three days straight

in Tianqi City's Qianjin Gambling House and even won a city.

Do you believe me?

Only seeing is believing.

If you can win a city, then...

Five, five, six. Big.

This is why you people in the martial arts world are boring.

A bet is only fun when you gamble.

If you already know the outcome,

then the bet is meaningless.

Then tell me, what do you want to wager on?

I'll wager on five, five, six.

Big.

You...

Okay.

It's been decided then.

Oh, no.

Shattering Touch.

A victim of it might look fine from the outside,

but his innards will be completely destroyed.

The die within the casing must be...

Of course, it looks grim.

Since it's a gamble, how could it be that easy?

Do you want to change your decision then?

Change my decision?

The sure-fire way to win a bet

is to believe that you will win.

As long as you believe you'll win,

you will win.

Let's see.

Five, five, six.

Impressive abilities, Young Master.

No talent really, no.

It's just a small trick.

I don't know any martial arts.

You don't?

The path you're walking is a dangerous one.

If you can't fight,

it's best to stay out of this then.

Are you breaking your promise now?

I said I wouldn't kill you.

But my friends might beg to differ.

They don't have as much patience as I do.

We also have a friend.

He can be a bit goofy, but his martial arts aren't bad.

So your friends might not have the advantage.

If you knew who I was,

you wouldn't have made that claim at all.

The White-Haired Deity of Tian Wai Tian. [Mo Qishi, Tian Wai Tian Sect]

Tian Wai Tian?

Twelve years ago, your name would indeed invoke fear.

Who are you?

How do you know me?

Not many know you.

But naturally, some do.

I didn't expect to run into someone from Tian Wai Tian here.

Did you forget your promise from before?

Lu Yudi from Wushuang City?

Wouldn't have thought you'd be here too.

Tang Lian. Regardless of our rivalry,

the Golden Coffin cannot end up in his hands!

The content of the coffin originally belonged to Tian Wai Tian.

You want to stop me?

There are nine stages for martial arts and above them exist four phases.

They are the Hard Phase of Mortals, the Unrestrained Phase of Earth,

the Carefree Phase of Heaven,

and the Mental Phase of the Unknown that only exists in legend.

The martial arts of the White-Haired Deity is already in the Carefree Phase of Heaven.

Tian Wai Tian.

As expected from them.

What is this Tian Wai Tian?

You might not be familiar with the name of Tian Wai Tian.

But it also goes by another name that will surely jog your memory.

- Demon Sect. - Demon Sect?

Can we win?

If he hadn't shown mercy just now, that slash just now would have...

You're all descendants of my old friends.

Out of respect for your masters, I won't kill you.

But if you get in my way again, don't blame me for not showing mercy.

Cloud Shuttle!

Light Frost!

Thread!

Jade Wish!

The Wushuang Sword Box from Wushuang City.

I heard no one has been able to command it for a century now.

[Wu Shuang, Wushuang City]

Kiddo, what is your name?

Wu Shuang, (unparalleled) from the Imperial Wushuang City!

After the emergence of Xueyue City,

Wushuang City has already lost its imperial title.

It will be added back sooner or later.

Interesting.

What do you want?

I don't want to miss the opportunity to fight a powerful foe.

Naturally, I'm here to learn from my senior.

Arrogant, aren't you?

I don't have time for you.

Charge!

Stop there!

Wu Shuang, come back!

After them!

That White-haired Deity said his friends were here too.

If I were you, I would go watch over that coffin right now.

Do we continue after them?

Yes.

That's... Lei Wujie's thunderbolt explosive.

I am Jiangnan Thunderbolt Sect's,

Lei Wujie for the Lei family!

Is there anyone else who's not afraid to die?

Attack!

He's so fast.

Fire Infusion of the Lei family.

No wonder.

Attack!

Tang Lian?

You managed to come out of there alive?!

- How are you feeling? - I just picked up that technique,

so I haven't fully mastered it yet.

But I feel much better now.

I can fight around ten of them, no problem.

[Listen to the Water and Trees]

Fire Infusion.

Where you convert your rage into a short burst of power.

How long will your dying ember last?

Enough to defeat people, like you, who are neither human nor demon!

Such audacity.

[Listen to the Water and Trees]

What... what is going on?

It's sorcery.

Sorcery??

What kind of sorcery?

Look.

What?

Do you notice any discrepancies?

The moon is so big.

But it looks like it is pasted in the sky.

Today is the 22nd.

It should be a last quarter moon.

How could it be a full moon?

Then Senior Brother, you mean...

It's a Guxu Technique. (T/N: loneliness and emptiness)

It is an evil formation.

Anyone who's it in will enter a dream-like state.

You have to be careful now.

In this dream, everything is an illusion,

but everything is also real.

Senior Brother, what are you talking about?

I don't quite get it.

Careful!

Senior Brother...

You got him!

How did you do that?

This is a formation filled with murderous traps.

What you see might not be real.

In moments like these, you need to forget about your eyes,

and use your ears instead.

Forget about my eyes?

Listen for their positions.

One of the compulsory lessons in Xueyue City.

Listen carefully.

Our world is vast and wind currents are everywhere.

The biggest weakness of this formation is that it blocks all external noises.

So in the Guxu formation, you just need to listen carefully.

of a crack in the air, that's when your enemy exposes himself.

Listen...

Here.

Got him!

You're gifted.

I've learned martial arts since I was young after all.

And I trained my hearing too.

Locate positions by sound and killing with your eyes closed.

If you think with just that, you can break the Guxu formation, you're too naive.

I guessed right.

In order to meet with Fairy Rui, senior brother would definitely pass by Belle Manor.

It seems like he's been trapped in some sort of formation.

Is this the Guxu Formation that trapped father when he fought

against the Demon Sect?

Senior Brother, why are there so many of them?

What should we do now?

Remain calm. Stay composed.

They can't do anything to us!

I just have to buy time until the White-haired Deity comes back.

There's nothing you can do!

Father told me that the Guxu Formation relies on the formation and disruptive sounds.

Break the flute and you break the formation.

Senior Brother, what was that sound?

A spear.

Qianluo is here.

Stop talking.

I need to follow the sound.

The formation is broken!

Boss!

What do you think, Senior Brother?

Isn't our teamwork impeccable?

You must be Miss Sikong. I'm Lei Wujie.

Don't let your guard down. It's not over yet.

You!

I've already dispelled this sorcery.

What else do you have?

Go on and show me!

Indeed. You broke the formation.

So you still followed us here.

Truth be told, we don't want to offend Xueyue City.

But it seems like Wushuang City and Tian Wai Tian are involved now too.

If we don't intervene today, it'll probably be too late.

What's inside the coffin is important to us

and we really cannot give it up.

What exactly is in this coffin?

For some, it's fame and fortune.

For others, it's a powerful technique.

For us, it's just an answer.

An answer?

- Thirteen years ago... - Enough.

The Wangyi Pavilion Massacre thirteen years ago.

Within one night, the entire pavilion was wiped out.

Only after the eldest son of the owner, Xie Liuyi, was knocked out,

did he survive.

After he regained consciousness, he lost his memory regarding that night.

He then studied under Sage Tian Quan and became an assassin.

His name in the martial arts world, Ming Hou.

You seem to know quite a bit.

Unfortunately, the Wangyi Pavilion Massacre was an unsolved case.

Even if there were clues to be had, they would have disappeared after 13 years.

Do you truly believe the coffin contains your answer?

Although truth be told, I'm getting more and more interested in this coffin.

Stop!

This is getting more and more interesting.

L-Living dead!

[Wuxin]

And it's a monk?

A living monk?

No ordination scar.

He isn't a monk.

Bring him with us first.

Ming Hou!

I've met you before.

I've paid a visit to Abbot Wang You,

but he wouldn't help me.

The old monk said before, the answer you want, no matter what it is,

would become your inner demon.

I appreciate Abbot Wang You's kindness.

However, knowing the answer will be my inner demon,

not knowing will also be my inner demon.

Makes sense.

Ming Hou!

Are you all right?

What the old monk wouldn't tell you,

I've already told you.

This is suffering you'll have to face alone.

All the best.

To return the favor,

we can get you out of here.

This is my own suffering to face.

You should go.

Let's go!

[Justify What is Pure to Stay Graceful]

- Wu Shuang! - Wu Shuang! Wu Shuang!

- Wu Shuang! - Wu Shuang! Wu Shuang!

Wu Shuang!

Wu Shuang!

- Senior Brother! Quick, come overe here! - Wu Shuang!

- Wu Shuang! - The Wushuang Sword Box?

What...

How can this be?

Is Junior Brother... Is he...

Senior Brother! Senior Brother!

How can this be?

How could this happen?

How am I supposed to face the City Lord now?

- It's all my fault! - Senior Brother.

I got ahead of myself and that's why he's dead.

Oh, my junior martial brother!

Wushuang...

Why are you all here?

He was fast and I got tired of chasing him, so I fell asleep.

- I'm going to kill you! - Senior Brother!

- Senior Brother! - I'm going to kill you!

- Senior Brother! - Senior Brother.

- Don't do this. - Let go of me! Let go!

- Calm down, Senior Brother! - Come here!

- Calm down. - Come here right now!

Stop. Calm down.

- Don't do anything reckless. - Yes.

Forget it. That person's martial arts skills were great.

He could have killed you easily. I'm glad you're fine.

What should we do now then?

Even if we return to Belle Manor now, we won't get what we're after.

Let's retreat and come up with a plan.

Let's go.

Close your eyes! Don't look into his eyes!

Your liaison is finally here.

I'm Wu Chan.

This is my junior brother. [Wu Chan, Nine Dragon Sect]

He is also a disciple of Abbot Wang You.

He's Wu Xin.

This isn't a great place to talk.

Let's leave here first.

Lian, aren't osmanthus cakes your favorite?

What's the matter?

Let me feed you.

There are people around. Stop playing.

Such a prude.

By the way, why did you come along?

I like that Young Master over there.

Is there a problem?

Oh right, Tang Lian.

I received a missive stating that per Nine Dragon Sect's request,

Xueyue City assigned you to escort my junior brother to meet up with me.

But it didn't mention your friends here.

May I know...

This is the daughter of the Spear Deity Sikong Changfeng, Sikong Qianluo.

I'm Lei Wujie of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Sect.

I'm just the owner of an inn.

The young man of the Lei Clan and I have a business to settle in Xueyue City.

This is Fairy Rui from Belle Manor.

They are with me.

Why was your junior brother in the Golden Coffin?

The Golden Coffin is a treasure of Hanshui Temple,

it's capable of suppressing one's inner force.

- Suppress? - He's studied the 32 Secret Arts of the Rakshasa.

Master Da Jue thinks he is dangerous, so he is to travel within the Golden Coffin.

I heard once you master any one

of the secret arts, you can obtain godlike power.

And to think your junior brother here learned all of them.

Abbot Wang You was a revered monk.

Why would he allow Wu Xin to study those secret arts?

This all starts with Abbot Wang You.

Abbot Wang You had mastered the Six Paths of Buddhism.

Among which his Divine Eye was the most powerful.

They say visitors who went to Hanshui Temple

just have to look at Wang You

and they will automatically repent for their sins.

It was that powerful?

Nothing needed to be said?

His mastery of Divine Eye was so proficient

that he could read someone's mind and change it with one look.

That's how he enlightened people.

However, several months ago,

Abbot Wang You suddenly passed away.

Rumor has it that after Abbot Wang You passed away, his body turned to dust

and disappeared into thin air.

The rumor is right.

How did he die suddenly?

Another rumor says that Abbot Wang You died from a heavy burden.

You know many things, Brother.

That's right.

Someone had been forcing Master to surrender my junior brother over because he

once performed my master's mind-reading trick too.

But his is called Devil Eye.

Devil Eye?

What technique is that?

I've never heard of it before.

The Divine Eye sees your soul and reads your mind.

But the Devil Eye doesn't see your soul.

It sees your inner demon.

If I'm not mistaken, your junior brother here cannot study Buddhism somehow,

so Abbot Wang You let him study the Rakshasa secret arts.

And now, he alone has those 32 secret arts and is incredibly powerful.

No wonder so many people want him.

Master Da Jue wants to use the Purification Chants to erase those secret arts from Wu Xin.

But that will cripple him.

From what I know,

after learning that, Wu Xin used the Tortoise Breathing Technique and laid down in the coffin.

He didn't fight back.

So the Demon Sect is interested in your junior brother because of those secret arts?

Demon Sect?

Enough.

Knowing too much about the Demon Sect brings ill fortune.

He is right.

Who's there?

You again.

All right.

Hand him over to me and you all can live.

In your dreams.

Senior Brother, let me help you!

Protect my junior brother!

Aren't you going to help?

I don't know any martial arts.

Protect Wu Xin.

That White-haired Deity's martial arts have reached the Carefree Phase of Heaven level.

All of you will be barely able to touch him.

Wait for me!

Wait for me!

I haven't gotten on yet!

It's futile.

That person's abilities are too great.

A numerical advantage won't change anything.

What should we do then?

Use this.

You know what that is?

Judging from its shape, it must be the Lei Clan's Qilin Fire Fangs.

They say it carries the Qinlin's anger and can scare a god away.

The recipe for that has been lost a long time ago!

We only have one left and my sect leader has it!

How could he possibly give it to me?

Wait. My sect leader told me not to tell that to anyone.

Poor Lei Clan.

But you're right.

This is our only option.

I don't want to carry on with you juniors.

I'll say it again, hand him over to me.

My patience has a limit.

Move aside! I'll take care of it!

So it has come to this.

A sword?

The Lei Clan prohibits its disciples from using a sword, doesn't it?

Is that the sword, Shabu? (T/N: Killing Terror)

The long sword, Shabu.

You're a disciple of Lei Hong.

All right.

All of you truly think I won't kill you.

What an imposing sword aura.

Seems he's really angry now.

Too much.

You look too much like him.

Crimson Frost Leaves.

I didn't expect this move from you despite your injury.

You must be within the top three of the Tang Sect.

Have you heard of this saying?

What saying?

Three moves of the Tang, leaves one dead.

It seems like I underestimated you.

Who else wants to try me?

Me!

If you don't want to be permanently disabled, don't get up.

Can you still stand up?

Stop gawking. Only you can hear me.

If you still have any strength left,

then stand before me.

Stop looking around.

If you keep looking around, that white-haired man will take me away soon.

Hurry up and stand before me.

Tang Lian. I don't want to kill you.

Why force me to?

How many more hidden weapons do you have?

Bone Nail. Iron Spike. Dragon Needle.

You only have one chance.

Unleash all of them.

The Fatal Flying Blossoms

isn't something every Tang Sect member can use.

But you're Tang Lian.

You can do it.

If you insist,

prepare for my attack then.

Now!

You didn't let me down.

But that won't delay him for too long.
