[Episode 39]

Just now, you stood a chance not to be defeated.

So, now,

it's your turn.

Master.

I've finally found my Cosmic Path.

Ye Yun, stop right there!

This isn't over yet.

I've found

my Cosmic Path.

I want justice in the world

to stand unyielding!

I seek to cleanse

the world's impurities!

If I encounter an obstacle on my path,

I shall overcome it and create a new path!

That is my Cosmic Path!

I'll see

which of you dares obstruct me!

Fine, then.

With his legs as the sword hilt,

his body as the sword blade,

his fists as the sword pommel, and his fingers as the sword tip?

Is he now

one with the sword?

Forget it.

[Pingqing Hall]

Jinxuan, how did it go?

Your Majesty,

I didn't see

the last blow clearly, either.

But judging from the situation,

Baili Dongjun won by a tiny margin.

Yun.

Baili Dongjun, why are you doing this?

Someone!

Capture Ye Dingzhi!

Yes, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

It's here.

Has the urgent report arrived?

Senior won the battle.

Isn't that great?

Why do you look kind of upset?

It's great that he won.

But he took

Ye Dingzhi with him.

I saw that coming

from a mile away.

If I were in his shoes...

Forget it.

Even if I were in his shoes,

I couldn't defeat Ye Dingzhi.

Why did Senior

take Ye Dingzhi away?

It's because he thinks

that Ye Dingzhi still has a chance to turn over a new leaf.

But many people died

because of Ye Dingzhi.

Maybe he didn't kill them.

But they all died because of him.

All I can say is,

the root of the issue lies deeper.

It doesn't lie on Ye Dingzhi.

What about the soldiers who died

defending our southern and northern borders?

What about the martial artists who died fending off

the demonic sect?

These feuds have nothing to do

with them.

Why are they dead instead?

Everyone

has to pay the price

for their actions.

It's the same for Ye Dingzhi.

Well said.

Those are excellent words indeed.

Miss Li...

Mr. Li,

you delivered a great speech

just now.

You sounded just like the Dark River.

Why don't you change your surname?

You should call yourself Su Hanyi.

The Su Family welcomes you.

Who would want to be an assassin at your place?

What's so bad about being an assassin?

Am I right, Muyu?

You won't be able to kill Ye Dingzhi alone.

I'll join you.

According to the letter,

even if Li Xinyue and Ji Ruofeng,

two of the Four Guardians of Tianqi, joined hands,

they could only fend him off for less than 30 minutes.

Do you guys think you can defeat him?

What if you include us?

Wang Rensun of Heavenly Mountain Sect?

Ye Xiaofan, the Nameless Sword?

Song Yanhui of Wushuang City?

And Wang Yixing of Mount Wangcheng?

Wait.

I can understand why they're here.

But Wang Yixing, what are you doing here?

Do you think I wanted to be here?

My master ordered me to do so.

So I had to come here.

Go ahead.

Take care.

A long time ago,

when he was still

living outside Gusu City,

I encountered him once.

I was still young back then.

I sneaked out of Xueyue City and traveled around.

He taught me several sword techniques.

When I asked him who he was,

he only said

that he was a wandering martial artist from Jiangnan.

Back then, I admired him.

Just like Ye Xiaofan in the past.

But for certain things,

What's wrong is wrong.

There's no turning back.

What should we do next?

Luo Qingyang and I made a deal.

After leaving Tianqi City,

we'll split up and head southward.

We'll rendezvous at Gusu City.

After that,

Yun will lead a reclusive life with Wenjun.

As for us, we'll think of something else by then.

Now, wars are breaking out everywhere.

The northern tribes and Nanjue

are riding the wave caused by the demonic sect.

As long as...

As long as Yun isn't around...

Is it truly that simple?

Both the northern tribes and Nanjue

have their ulterior motives for doing so.

Ye Dingzhi

only provided them

with an opportunity.

Right now, Beili's foes are closing in from three directions.

At this moment,

they won't

withdraw their troops easily.

You were the hero of Beili

when you narrowly won against him.

But from the moment you escaped with him on your back,

the entire Beili

has turned on you.

I'll never give up

until the very last moment.

I'm sure there's a solution to this.

[He lost against Baili Dongjun.]

[After that, Baili Dongjun escaped southward with him

and vanished without a trace.]

How did it go?

Mr. Ye.

He lost.

He lost?

To whom?

Baili Dongjun.

And then?

Our scout said

that Baili Dongjun escaped southward

with Mr. Ye.

However, he didn't know

where they were heading.

Southward?

Could it be Nanjue?

No.

Father will head to Gusu City.

Father

doesn't want to be the leader of a sect.

He only wants to return to that hut.

Child as you are,

what you said are profound.

You're still a child.

Leave all this

to us adults.

I burned some sleeping grass.

He overexerted himself.

However, he does possess great internal strength.

We should lower our volume.

Mr. Ye, what do you want to tell me?

I assume you know.

I've heard of many instances

of descent into demonhood.

But I've never seen one like yours.

You're clear-headed.

You still have a conscience as well.

What kind of descent into demonhood is this?

Shouldn't they

be irrational

and filled with bloodlust?

Only a thin line lies between demonhood and deityhood.

Before this,

I didn't care about the people of the world.

I wanted to kill everyone

who saw me as their enemy.

To those who uphold righteousness,

I'm a demon.

Dongjun.

He wishes to save the world.

He wishes to save me as well.

That's not the path of righteousness

or demonhood.

What is it, then?

It's

his path.

But no matter how broad his path is,

I cannot travel

on the same path with him.

I'm leaving.

You need not waste your energy in stopping me.

I don't wish to hurt you either.

But your wound is...

It's fine.

Dongjun didn't target my vital points.

Moreover, you should be aware

of the regenerative abilities of Xunian Art.

All right.

Once he's awake,

travel westward with him.

The faster, the further,

the better.

Do not try

to make any contact with me again.

I'll end all this

in my way.

It smells great.

Here.

Here, try this.

It's delicious.

It's not raining.

Why are you holding an umbrella?

It's an umbrella

as well as a weapon.

It's the legendary Eighteen-Sword Formation, right?

I do wish to witness it myself.

It's a shame

that I'll be

witnessing it as your enemy.

What are you laughing at?

Because it's hilarious.

I've never heard of anyone

trying to spar with the Dark River's Umbrella Ghost before.

Do you have any idea

how terrifying it is?

I wish to spar with

powerful swordsmen in the world.

You do have a point.

Miss Li...

I mean, Mr. Li,

you can become a Sword Deity in the future.

You did draw your sword

against Mount Wangcheng twice before.

Does this peach look familiar to you?

Yuzhen planted it.

I spoke too much.

Oh, right.

I wanted to ask you this just now,

mister.

This isn't the season

for peaches yet.

Indeed.

Yuzhen

set up a formation

on Mount Wangcheng.

Because of that,

we can enjoy peaches all year long.

It's a huge mountain,

yet he can set up a formation there without any trouble?

Seems like this junior of yours

is extraordinary.

Mr. Li.

Here you go.

You should eat while you can.

Maybe

this will be the last peach

you eat in this life.

My old friends are here, huh?

It's been a while.

It's been a long time since we met

after parting ways at the Academy.

However, I won't regret my decision.

Ye.

During the Spring Festival's Eve,

I was there.

Initially, I wanted to visit you.

But I didn't.

Before this, you said we would meet again.

Now that we've met again,

I'm pleased.

When I saw you back then,

you were still dashing and brimming with energy.

I wanted to challenge you to a duel

hoping to win by a single move.

I never expected myself

to come here with all these people

to try and kill you now.

You see,

life is

truly unpredictable sometimes.

The Dark River's assassins, huh?

I've heard of you guys before.

I heard

that you intend to kill

when you start to spin your umbrella.

Wuchan.

Master, Ye is in trouble!

I'll go and...

Wuchan,

there's a consequence for every cause.

This is the karma he has to bear.

You're truly the hardest assassination target

I've ever encountered.

Ye Dingzhi!

It's not too late for you to escape!

Watch out!

Muyu.

I finally understand now.

The seven of us aren't enough.

Just you, me,

and the unyielding Li Hanyi

are trying to kill him, huh?

What has the Dark River done

to deserve this?

He hasn't recovered from his injury yet.

It isn't time yet.

If so, I'll leave the last blow

to you, then.

What's the name of this technique?

It's called Muyu.

It does resemble a beautiful rain of swords.

The Xuanfeng Sword left behind by my master

was just like this.

It's a shame

that I don't have it with me now.

Lend me your sword.

Yao,

you should've stopped Yun.

He was bent on not dragging you into this.

He insisted on parting ways with you.

You wouldn't be able to stop him even if you were awake.

There's no need to waste your energy

and let the pursuers

take advantage of the situation.

Dongjun,

if there's one person in the world

who can change his mind,

it can only be Yi Wenjun.

Ji Ruofeng.

What are you doing here

instead of recuperating?

On my way here,

I've witnessed the annihilation

of many sects.

Many innocent people were killed as well.

They were committed by the sect members of the demonic sect

who infiltrated Beili.

Although it might not have been

Ye Dingzhi's order,

in the end, it's still related to him.

If you save him,

that means

you're going against the martial world of Beili.

However, you represent the Academy.

You represent Xueyue City

and Beili's path of righteousness.

Although the old man

didn't give me any instructions,

I have to stop you here.

Try me, then.

You think you're saving him.

You have no idea that you're killing him

by doing so.

What do you mean?

Although Ye Dingzhi has entered the Malevolence Phase,

he still has feelings

for those around him.

You're his best friend.

Due to that, he'll

not accept your grace.

It's because

he's the vilest person in the world right now.

If you save him,

you'll be pushing yourself into the abyss

and to the point of no return.

Therefore, he'll never let you

save him.

If you wish to bring him to Nanjue,

he'll stay in Beili.

Can you understand me

if I put it that way?

So, in your opinion,

what should I do?

Let Ye Dingzhi engage them in battle

and escape by himself.

If he wins against the martial world of Beili

and manages to escape to Nanjue,

that means he's lucky.

If he loses and dies,

that's his affair.

It has nothing to do with you,

Baili Dongjun.

You've done enough for him.

You've committed plenty of mistakes as well.

Although the world has let Ye Dingzhi down,

Ye Dingzhi

already exacted his revenge against the world.

It's too late for him to turn back.

Now, he has no choice but to be a demon.

As for you,

if you insist on taking this path,

you'll cease

to be Baili Dongjun of the Academy

and Xueyue City.

Gu Chen, Li Changsheng,

and Nangong Chunshui,

all advised you to act according to your will in life.

You may do so,

but that doesn't mean you should act recklessly.

You should stop here.

If not,

this time, I won't reserve my strength.

I'll fight you to the death.

Miss Yue Yao,

what do you think

about my speech?

In my opinion,

of course I wish for Dongjun

to be safe.

I hope he can return to Xueyue City

in a carefree manner.

But now I

have decided to follow Dongjun's will.

If Dongjun wants to leave, I'll leave with him.

If he wishes to fight, I'll fight alongside him.

Chief, if you wish to fight us to the death,

you will die

as we outnumber you two to one.

Miss Yue Yao,

you're impressive indeed.

There are plenty of things I can accept.

But I can never accept

Yun's death.

Never.

As long as I can protect him for now,

I can negotiate a deal

with the emperor

and the major sects of Beili after this.

You make it sound too easy.

Someone's here.

Mr. Ye, you're powerful indeed.

You thought

you utilized the best chance you had.

But in the face of me,

you stand no chance at all.

No.

I know

that the chance hasn't appeared yet.

That's the chance we've been waiting for.

It's as if you all rehearsed that countless times

before you could execute such a joint attack.

But it also contained the resolve

that came from exhausting all efforts

for the first time.

Maybe this is

the chemistry between swordsmen.

I once thought of

becoming such a swordsman as well.

Wang,

I'm sorry.

I broke your blade.

I said it before.

You all...

I hid some sword qi

within my sword of blood.

It'll rupture

your internal organs

if you don't come up with a solution soon.

He's regulating his qi

to force out that sword qi of yours.

We just need someone

to go there

and chop off his head.

There's no way around it.

None of us reserved our strength

due to that joint attack.

That's how it is for opportunities.

You only get them once.

No.

One of us

hasn't acted yet.
