[Episode 4]

What a bunch of weirdos.

[Qingsong Inn]

You are awake.

Come and have breakfast.

What has happened to me?

What has happened to you?

A few days ago, you passed out

and my uncle saved you.

You are lucky

to have known me.

My uncle doesn't always save people.

The little thing hasn't left yet.

Do you have a death wish?

Cuties,

come.

Come over here.

Be good.

Uncle.

Be good.

This is a bit disgusting.

These disgusting things

saved his life.

I...

Thank you, sir.

Have I recovered?

No.

You

are poisoned by me.

- What? - What?

The reason

why I don't always save people

because I use poison

to combat the patient's poison.

To suppress your old injuries,

I gave you the Guts-Shattering Five Poisons.

But I don't have a way

to detoxify it.

Wait.

What does he do now?

He can't die just like that.

Go to this place on the map

and look for someone called Xin Baicao.

I claim

that no one can escape my poison,

while this fellow claims

to be able to detoxify any poison in this world.

Go and show him

your poisoned body.

Naturally, he will know

I send you there.

He will do his very best to cure you

to prove he is better than me.

Once the poison is cleared

and your old injuries flare up,

he might think

it's a trick of mine

and will save you again.

Does

Xin Baicao, the King of Medicine,

really exist?

Can he

heal Changfeng?

How would I know?

[I'll poison you to death] I do poisoning.

I'm not a physician.

Go now.

You have ten more days left.

Ten days?

After that,

the Guts-Breaking Five Poisons takes effect

and you will die in less than four hours.

It starts to erode your guts.

It's very painful.

[Chaisang City]

Thank you, sir.

No need to thank me.

Your life is still at risk.

It's better.

I used to think

I would die quietly

on an unfamiliar road.

Gladly,

Heaven shows some mercy to me.

I have met so many heroes

before my life ends.

It's worth it

even if I die now.

Sikong Changfeng,

my uncle

went to great length

to bring you

back to life.

Don't jinx yourself.

Stay alive

and wait till our next encounter

in the martial arts world.

You are right.

I must stay alive.

With a steed,

a spear,

and a pot of liquor,

I will roam around

freely.

I wish you the same.

Go further,

see more of the martial arts world,

and fulfill your promise

of the girl you like.

Of course.

Take this.

Until next time.

Until next time.

Stay alive, Sikong Changfeng.

He should

die honorably in the martial arts world.

Uncle,

do you think

I should also die honorably in the martial arts world?

What are you talking about? Of course not!

Say touchwood!

Touchwood.

Then, how will I end up?

You will die pathetically

by your parents' spanking.

Uncle,

let's make a deal.

No.

I haven't said it yet.

Let's go.

Ye Xiaofan,

it's time for lunch.

So noisy.

What do we have today?

Don't simply touch my head.

My sister said

I couldn't grow tall if you kept touching my head.

It's not true.

I can examine skeletons.

I can tell

you won't grow tall

whether or not

I touch you.

If you say that again,

your big bun

will become mine.

You sleep all-day

and don't find

a proper job.

You won't

get a wife in the future.

Little brat,

you talk

like a mother.

Is getting a proper job

that important?

Certainly.

Well, then.

I will do what you say.

It seems I should

find a proper job.

However, I'm afraid

I can't do that in the village.

It's time

to leave.

Return to Qiandong City.

If not, your mother will poison me.

I doubt my mother does that better

than you.

I can't stand it when she acts coquettishly.

It's not that I'm not going back.

I just want you to show me around in the martial arts world

on our way back.

No, I don't have time.

You are free.

How can that be?

I'm not free at all.

I'm the Bodhisattva of Poison.

I'm busy.

Besides,

the Swords Forest is about to start after four years.

I don't want to miss that.

Swords Forest?

What's that?

It seems you are in such a hurry.

Is that a great assembly?

Swordsmen from all over the martial arts world

wait in the wings for four years

for the opening of the Swords Forest.

Does that sound grand to you?

Uncle,

you like me the most.

You are the best.

I will brew some liquor for you.

Save it.

Let me ask you this.

Have your mother taught you

any martial arts skills?

No.

But she got me a master

to teach my fist techniques.

That's enough.

Come back.

Who is your master?

His name is Wangba or something.

It's an interesting name.

Wang Batian, the Fist Conqueror?

Right, it's him.

He's something to be reckoned with.

Exactly.

My mother also thought

he could teach me well.

He was working so hard,

so

I treated him to some liquor.

He said he had never drunk

such a wonderful brew in his life.

Then, I told him

he could drink that every day

as long as he stopped teaching me.

Therefore,

my mother drove him away

three days later.

Do you have other masters?

Later, she thought

male masters were unreliable,

so she found a female master.

She is so beautiful.

I still remember her name.

Su Muqing.

Ms. Su?

She is indeed pretty.

Not only that,

she also taught me seriously

for three days.

Luckily,

it was only three days.

Why is that so?

Since Ms. Su came,

my father

came to my backyard

for three consecutive days.

You can imagine what happened later.

You only learned

superficial skills.

So, what actually

are you good at?

Look at me.

What do you think?

Even you think that's a bad one, right?

Let's go.

Uncle.

Uncle.

Uncle.

Uncle.

Where are you going?

Back to Qiandong City.

That's a shorter route.

You can't be serious.

Wasn't that move amazing?

Wasn't that your father's

qinggong technique, Three Flying Cat Moves.

Three Flying Cat Moves?

It's Three Flying Swallow Moves.

Don't underestimate this.

It's a great fleeing skill.

Don't go, Uncle.

I was being mischievous before,

but I have changed now.

I swear,

I'm serious this time.

It's true

that I didn't like practicing martial arts skills before.

First,

I thought fighting was boring.

Second, as you know,

General Ye and Yun have died.

Grandfather didn't want me

to suffer the Ye Family's fate.

However, when I encountered

the Eight Young Masters of Beili these days

and witnessed

those bloodshed...

I ask myself,

if I could protect

my friend

when he is in danger?

Would I act like the Eight Young Masters of Beili

to draw my weapon

and fight alongside him?

Uncle.

Who do you admire the most

in the martial arts world?

Needless to say, it's Mr. Li.

Which Mr. Li are you referring to?

Whenever the Mr. Li is mentioned,

it must be that person.

Mr. Li, the One-Sword Deity.

When I was 19,

I was fortunate to witness

the darting sword from beyond

with my own eyes in Tianqi City.

Five invincible swordsmen from Nanjue

challenged Mr. Li to a duel.

They intended to tire him out through attrition warfare.

However, Mr. Li defeated them with only a sword.

From that day on,

no one from Nanjue ever dares

to challenge anyone from Beili to sword fights.

Naturally, Mr. Li triumphed

in the Martial Ranking that year.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Li

tore the Martial Ranking apart.

"The lowly Martial Ranking

isn't entitled to judge a deity."

That's cool.

No wonder people said Beili wields swords,

while Nanjue holds blades.

Turns out they have lost their guts to practice swordsmanship skills.

Everyone in Beili

practices swordsmanship skills.

I used to learn that when I was young.

You did?

Don't you practice how to use poison?

I applied poison to the sword.

What?

Any problem with that?

No.

All right. I made up my mind.

I want to practice swordsmanship.

You practice swordsmanship?

Do you even have a sword?

It's Swords Forest we are going to.

How can I not find one there?

I see.

I didn't see this coming.

Baili.

All right.

It's time

to get you a fine sword.

Are you sure, Uncle?

I announce,

Uncle,

you have grown more important to me

than my father.

Like you respect him much.

You can't say that.

Mount up. Let's hit the road.

Baili, come on.

Coming.

Why?

Didn't you ask me

to get a proper job?

Now that I'm going,

why are you pulling

the long face?

I am not.

You are mistaken.

True though.

You are capable

and can become a military officer in town

to earn money that's enough to buy noodles every day.

By then,

all the elderly in the village

will like you

and bring their daughters

to propose marriage.

Then, you can choose

the prettiest girl and marry her.

By the way,

Ye Xiaofan,

who do you think

is the prettiest girl in the village?

Maybe Madam Chen.

She has a gracefully slender figure

and is plump.

I'm saying a girl.

Madam Chen isn't a girl anymore.

She is married.

You choose one for me then.

What do you think about my sister?

All the teachers in the village

say that my sister

will become a beauty.

Do you know

what "will become a beauty" means?

What does that mean?

It means

she is yet a beauty.

Besides,

I'm engaged.

What? You are engaged?

When did that happen?

It was when I was little.

At that time, I was engaged to someone.

It's just

I'm of age now,

yet I'm still wandering outside.

I wonder

if she has met someone else.

Why don't you go and find her?

I will.

It will be

after doing something I must do.

Very soon.

Well, stop here.

Ye Xiaofan,

though you are only going to a city nearby,

you leave the village, after all.

You should have the last meal with everyone

and bid farewell to them.

I'm not going to cities nearby.

No?

Where are you going then?

I'm heading

to somewhere I have been looking forward

and retrieve something.

After that, I will go

to a place I must go.

A place you must go?

Where is it?

A faraway city

called Tianqi.

Tianqi?

Isn't that the capital

of Beili?

It is a great distance away.

I only read it from books.

Ye Xiaofan,

why are you going there?

I'm going to Tianqi

to achieve something big.

Perhaps

I might meet

a long-lost friend there

and her.

Ye Xiaofan, what are you thinking?

You know what?

Stop calling me Ye Xiaofan from now on.

Call me Ye Dingzhi.

Ye Dingzhi?

Why this name?

Because I want

to wander the martial arts world with my sword

and challenge Tianqi.

[Ye Dingzhi]

Practice well the sword techniques I taught you

for a few more years

and you will protect

the entire village.

Ye Xiaofan,

don't leave yet.

How will I find you later?

When I become famous

and you enter the martial arts world,

tell everyone your name is Ye Xiaofan,

then I will come to you.

All right.

Fragrance sachets for sale!

[Shenjian Town]

As expected of the Shenjian Town. [*Literally means Divine Swords Town]

Everyone here holds a sword.

Even a dog has one.

Uncle,

so this is

a sword dog? [*Sword and nasty are homophones]

No name-calling.

Sorry about that.

A sword dog?

Uncle,

you haven't explained to me

what the Swords Forest actually is.

Swords Forest,

as its name implies, it gathers tons of swords here.

At first,

there were swordsmen

thrusting swords into this land where the Sword Deity perished

to show their resolution in swordsmanship.

Later,

whenever a famous sword is forged

or an elite swordsman perishes,

the new swords and the deceased masters' swords

would be kept in the Swords Forest

to await the fated one

to claim them every four years.

This person

looks familiar.

What an aroma.

Mister,

what liquor is this?

Sword Liquor.

How can you miss the Sword Liquor

in the Swords Forest?

Sword Liquor?

- Mister, fill it up. - Mister, fill it up.

All right.

Baili,

you only introduced masters

who taught your martial arts skills.

Why don't you

tell me something

about your brewing master?

I don't need someone to teach me that.

This is an innate talent, you know?

Coming.

Sirs, here's your liquor.

Please enjoy.

That's intense.

It cuts my tongue

like a sharp blade.

It truly lives up to its name.

Nice brew.

Don't drink too much. You will get drunk.

Uncle,

we have been walking for long.

I still see no end

to this forest.

It becomes foggy.

Uncle.

Uncle?

Uncle.

Uncle.

This is Qimen Dunjia Arts.

That place

is the external area of the Swords Forest

which is accessible on regular days.

But here

is the very place,

which opens only every four years, the Swords Forest.

How magnificent.

There are

two great sects of swords forgery,

Swordcore Grave

and Famous Swords Manor.

[Wei Changfeng] It seems that Famous Swords Manor

[young master of Famous Swords Manor] is in charge this year.

Speaking of which, you have some connections

with Famous Swords Manor.

What connections?

How come I didn't know that?

Lei Mengsha's wife

is

Swordcore Grave Master, Li Suwang's

daughter,

Li Xinyue, who inherits the Heart Sword.

The martial arts world is big

yet small.

[Cheng Yu, Song Yanhui , Wushuang City]

Since all of you came here

to claim swords,

I won't

keep you waiting for long.

Please

play the music.

The first-level sword

is the Mountain sword.

Everyone,

you may start.

Uncle, shall we?

Not now.

There are four levels of swords.

First, the Mountain.

As high as a mountain,

unreachable by ordinary swords.

Second, the Ocean.

All rivers converge into the boundless ocean.

Merging one hundred Mountain swords

to form the very one.

Now, the Ocean sword.

Everyone, please.

Third, the Cloud Sky.

Above the ocean,

clouds in the ninth heaven overlook the earth.

There's only one in ten thousand swords.

Fourth, the Celestial.

Beyond the ninth heaven, a celestial palace resides.

It's a sword from beyond.

Whether or not it will emerge in the Swords Forest

depends on your luck.

If so...

Given

my swordsmanship skills,

claiming an Ocean

is not a problem.

You should at least get a Cloud Sky sword.

In that case, I need to use poison.

Is there any sword you like?

I only know

Cloud Sky lies above Ocean,

and a Celestial one ranks highest of all.

Needless to say, I want the best sword.

If not, how else can I gain fame?

Well said.

Who are you?

[Wang Yixing, principal disciple] I'm Wang Yixing from Mount Wangcheng.

[of Lyu Suzhen from Mount Wangcheng]

The disciple of Lyu Suzhen.

Setting aside whether he spoke well or not,

his naive ambition

to rise to fame

is putting me on the spot.

Mr. Wen,

with due respect,

he should

claim the sword by himself.

Mister,

what did you say?

Who claims the sword?

I'm saying

that it's better if you claim the sword by yourself.

Look at him.

I'm sure

he will get beaten up with two or three strikes.

Are we going

to return empty-handed?

Don't jump to the conclusion yet, Mr. Wen.

I think

this young man

might get a fine sword.

- Bravo! - Bravo!

You can't be drunk, can you?

The Mountain sword

and the Ocean sword

have each found their owners.

The next sword

is of Cloud Sky level.

I named it Fire Divine.

It's a shard of the ablaze sword, Grand Sun,

use by the Kunlun Sword Deity in a battle.

To be more precise,

it's born out of the Grand Sun.

It belongs to the Celestial Palace,

but alas, falls from the ninth heaven.

What a waste.

I'm down.

Me too.

I'm coming.

Hands off my sword.

You called it a waste.

You hypocrite.

It depends on who owns the sword.

Swords have no levels,

but their owners

determine their value.

Why is the sword flying?

This is Sword Wielding Arts from Mount Wangcheng.

Not just wielding arts,

it also contains the secret technique of Mount Wangcheng.

With such cultivation at this age,

he must be the top

among all current disciples.

You are drunk.

This is Sword Liquor.

It's different from ordinary liquor.

Wang Yixing, the principal disciple

of Mount Wancheng's Leader, Lyu Suzhen,

will claim this sword.

Everyone.

This is the only Cloud Sky-level sword.

Why isn't Wushuang City involved?

Could it be...

I'm not interested

in swords of a higher level.

This sword

is a perfect gift

for my junior brother.

Everyone,

thank you.

He mentioned

"swords of a higher level".

Exactly.

Wushuang City hasn't started yet.

Is there really a fourth-level sword?

The fourth level,

Celestial Level Sword.

Please grant me

this sword from beyond.

Baili, look.

Celestial.

It smells great.

It's the fragrance of lotus.

I forged this sword

and named it Dustless.

I ask for a peerless gentry to claim it.

Hopefully, this fine gentry

will journey the world with this sword

and let it triumph

the Record of Famous Swords.

This is a great sword.

I want it.

You fool.

Do you want your uncle,

who uses poisons,

to be surrounded by all swordsmen?

I, Song Yanhui of Wushuang City, wish to claim this sword.

Who will be my rival?

I doubt someone will compete with Wushuang City.

I will.

Who is he?

Who are you?

Ye Dingzhi.

Ye Dingzhi?

I have never heard of this name.

He probably is a rash young man.

He dares challenge Wushuang City?

This time,

I suppose he might die here.

This guy...

looks...

like...

I can't recall it at all.

Such agility.

An innate swordsman.

You are indeed strong.

But I am

stronger.

Uncle,

are they powerful?

Given what they have shown,

they are both in the Sturdy Phase.

However, the difference

is that the guy from Wushuang City

is already out of his depth,

while Ye Dingzhi

hasn't fully exerted his strength.

He possesses such strength at this young age.

That's not easy.

Wushuang City actually loses.

This is unbelievable.

How did this happen?

I concede defeat.

Thank you.

Hold on.

Baili!

I

want that sword too.

May I ask your name?

Baili Dongjun.

Baili Dongjun?

Do we know each other?

No.

No, we don't.

Then why did you...

You want to claim the sword,

but where is yours?

My...

Right.

Mister,

you can have this.

Such embarrassment.

What a disgrace.

I have one now.

He's just as silly as he was.

Hold on. I remember it now.

Why do I think

you look familiar?

Baili Dongjun,

are you trying

to cozy up to me?

You came to the wrong place.

He is great.

Are you not drawing your sword?

I don't know any sword techniques.

Young man, come down. Just surrender.

- Exactly. - Exactly.

Just quit and come down.

Don't get hurt. Stop fighting.

It seems that you are no match for me.

This idiot

must be slacking off during practice

like he did back then.

Sword?

Can I wield a sword?

Master,

this is another illusion skill of yours?

No, this is a sword technique.

Pay attention.

I will only demonstrate once.

I have an unrivaled sword technique.

Why is it unrivaled?

On this earth,

from past to future,

no one with this technique

will ever emerge again.

If someone

does,

it will only be from the Baili Family.

I have recalled it.

I know swordsmanship.

That's...

Western Chu's Sword Song.

♪Retired from the mundane world♪

This is really the Western Chu's Sword Song.

It truly lives up to its reputation.

How carefree and spontaneous.

Words have it that it only consists of three moves.

I was fortunate to witness that once.

It was exactly the same

as Mr. Baili's.

♪Soaring towards the sky, the sword reigns all♪

But his moves

are complete.

♪Striding across the land with a drunken gait♪

How did Baili know the Western Chu's Sword Song?

♪I will protect the people whenever I'm needed♪

♪Atop the summit, you and I shall battle for the world's best♪

I remember everything now.

Sword Song.

But why are there only sword moves and no song?

It's a shame that the one who sings is already dead,

leaving only the sword moves,

Heaven's Path.

Back then, Gu Chen, the Scholar Deity of Western Chu sings

and Gu Mo, the Sword Deity, wields his sword.

In front of the gate of Luosang City,

the last city left of Western Chu,

with a sword and a song,

they confronted 9,000 Pofeng armies

till their every last breath.

Finally, Luosang was raided

and Western Chu was brought down.

This complete sword technique

became a lost art.

That's my nephew.

My nephew.

I didn't expect

that the Marquis of Zhenxi's Mansion

would be more bolder than I imagined.

I thought

I only came here for a sword and to gain fame.

What a pleasant surprise.

I have met you

and

such an interesting sword technique.

Liquor.

Where's my liquor?

There you go.

It must be a fine brew.

You enjoy it so much.

Man,

lend me your liquor.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Awesome!

Across the Ninth Heaven I ride on my sword.

There's indeed a song.

Into the vast sky I shan't return.

Amidst the clouds I sing in wild jubilation.

With 300,000 barrels down the hatch.

I bear a free spirit within

and here ends my song.
