'The Blood of Youth'

Episode 25

Tiger Guards Barracks —

23 years ago, your predecessors escorted His Majesty

to Great Peace Hall.

Many people died in that bloodbath.

But their glory remains.

This glory runs in your veins.

I ask you.

Will you blaze a path for Yong'an Prince

who returns alone?

We are willing!

Good!

Tiger Guards!

Get ready!

In half an hour, depart!

Aye!

It's you.

I remember you.

Peerless City first disciple,

Lu Yuzhai.

I remember you.

Snow-Moon's Lei Wujie.

Wrong.

What's wrong? I'm not my foolish Junior.

I've a good memory.

I never forget people I met.

The name's right; the title's wrong.

You left Snow-Moon?

No.

I'm not here on Snow-Moon's behalf.

Tianqi Four Guardians,

guardian of the East, Azure Dragon.

Tianqi Four Guardians? I heard their legends as a child.

Azure Dragon was Sword Heart in Dreams, Li Xinyue.

You must hold Heart Sword, 4th most famed sword.

Then be glad you'll fight the legend.

But, before we start, I've two things to say.

First: as a spear user, you can't match Qianluo;

and you're far below my third martial uncle.

And the second thing?

Second: as a Senior Brother, you're way below

my Senior Brother, Tang Lian.

Besides, Peerless City aims to be top city?

What a joke.

Form Array!

I hate Sword Arrays.

Kunlun Sword Deity once said a sword is a lone weapon.

Sword is alone; swordsman is alone.

Ganging up like this is deplorable.

I heard Sword Heart Tomb has an Array.

Sword Heart Tomb's 1000-Sword Array

guards its sanctity.

It's impregnable.

Your little stunt can't compare.

From what I heard,

you're not this talkative or provocative.

Maybe it's due to my being around someone

who likes to be sarcastic, and I picked up bad habits.

I used to be a humble, courteous youth.

You're stalling.

You saw through me.

But, I'll fight you all alone.

What's wrong with stalling?

No use.

Other than Peerless City, too many would kill him.

Stalling us lets others kill him.

We just want to capture him.

Those who'd kill him equal those who'd save him.

As for your talk of capture,

know what he'd say if he heard you say that?

What would he say?

Pooh.

Attack!

Report!

What happened?

General, someone's blocking our way.

Blocking?

Who dares?

This road is blocked!

Who dares to block us.

Tianqi Four Guardians, Vermilion Bird,

guardian of the South.

You'd be that Senior's successor.

For the sake of his past ties with His Majesty, move aside.

Know what this line means?

Anyone who crosses it,

dies!

General!

Kill her for me!

Aye!

Kill!

Kill!

One spear into Blithe Heaven!

Aid your Tianqi return to the throne.

One city; one sword qi .

Lone Sword Deity's desolate sword intent.

Well deserved repute.

'This time last year, at this door,

'Her face pink as peach blossom.

'I wonder where that face went;

'Peach blossom blooms in gentle breeze'.

What brings you, Senior?

I wondered why Ji Ruofeng reopened Golden List.

So the Hall has an heir.

Where's your father?

Father's bad injury means I stepped in.

Why reopen the List?

I want to end Jianghu past era

and mark the new era's start.

Interesting.

You're on Ultimate List, 3rd Tier, behind Luo Qingyang.

Senior, are you confident you can stop him?

My Senior Bro got 2nd Tier but I beat him up.

As First City Lord, he just drinks and makes wine.

I beat up guys like him.

This is my tribute to Grim Desolation City Lord.

Grim Desolation City?

When Beili was founded, this city prospered.

But residents moved south.

It became ruins called Grim Desolation.

After Sword Deity came,

it was called Admirable Desolation (Muliang).

He guards this city alone; this is admirable.

He's here.

Let's go.

He has no intention of leaving.

How do you know?

The sword intent on his scabbard told me.

Worthy of Ultimate Experts; truly mystifying.

But I've not sent my gift.

Follow his example. Throw the wine.

Now it's delivered, I'm going.

This is Ji Ruofeng's daughter.

All-Knowing Hall's new leader.

The new White Tiger.

Sir, your tea.

It rains a lot here?

Yes.

It often rains. In rainy season,

it may rain two weeks.

Is your hometown far?

Yes.

I have two homes, both far.

Why did you come here?

To kill people.

Sir, you're joking.

Waiter, you have wine?

Yes, but not for sale.

It's my wine from home.

Can I buy it?

I'll triple its price.

It's ordinary wine.

You're welcome. Please wait.

Sir, your wine.

What's this wine?

It's worth 10 coppers. It has no name.

It's Old Homebrew.

Old Homebrew?

I've heard about it.

I wonder if it's the same as Snowfall Villa wine.

Snowfall Villa?

Where's that?

I don't know.

One said it's an elegant manor

with floating blossoms.

The other said its a rundown inn—

a bit bigger than your tea shop.

It had holey walls and a leaking roof.

Waiter.

I'm reserving this shop. Return in 4 hours.

Sir, what's this mean?

You forgot my words before?

I came here

to kill people.

Rush off

before it's too late.

Tang Lian.

Do you guys know

what a true Heart Sword is?

My sword heart can command 10,000 swords.

Your swords fear me so you're no match.

Alright.

I've shown my cards.

Shouldn't you show yours?

Peerless Sword Box is what I've anticipated.
