[Sword and Beloved]

[Episode 29]

The Power of Hatred...

The endless, surging Power of Hatred...

Grief Tree,

absorb it all

and grow faster.

I've been waiting so long

for this day!

The Myriad Blight Formation has finally been activated.

Once I've regained my power,

Wangquan Hongye

and Wangquan Fugui,

you both

will die.

Put Qingtong down.

Put her down

and hand her over to you?

Why would I do that?

Soldier.

You're a walking disaster.

Everyone around you

meets a terrible fate.

An ill-omened offering

should've stayed on the altar.

Why did you have to leave your Palanquin,

condemning everyone to endless suffering?

My life

isn't for you to decide.

Really?

Go on then.

Let's see whose speed prevails:

your sword, or mine.

Wangquan Fugui.

How about I bestow upon you

a place of no return?

[Snow Demon's Barrier]

[Ancient Snow Demon]

Hello.

Emotion-Devouring Snow Demon?

You know me?

The Ancient Snow Demon who never grows old.

Why do you do the bidding of others?

Others?

You mean that little spider?

That little spider is very good-looking.

Why shouldn't I do his bidding?

Besides,

the food he brought

is simply exquisite.

Isn't this amusing?

This is my world.

No matter how strong a human or demon is,

here they can only be frozen,

and I'll feast upon

your beautiful lives,

bit by bit.

What exactly do you intend to do?

Kill you.

Isn't that obvious?

That little spider hates you so much.

Yet your vitality is surprisingly robust.

I'm curious to see

how long

you can hold out here.

Spare the words.

Just get to it.

What's the rush?

The concept of time doesn't matter to me.

Here, time passes

like water carving stone or an iron tree blooming.

Since you're so pretty,

just stay here

and become an ice sculpture

for me to admire.

Li Xueyang.

Do you know the cruel truth of

what happened in the desert of the Western Regions

1,000 years ago?

I do.

Even knowing all the truth,

you still cling to that corsac fox.

With behavior like this,

you're unworthy of being my descendant—

unworthy even of the surname Li.

This matter has nothing to do with Yunfei.

He's innocent!

You think a simple claim of innocence

can erase all their sins?

I hate.

My hatred runs so deep.

Those who marched into the battlefield had their bones turned to dust.

Why is it that the despicable and shameless corsac foxes

could enjoy wealth and power for 1,000 years,

while our Qianxia Kingdom was destroyed so early?

I

must make them pay.

Where exactly is my husband?

I've sent him into

the Myriad Blight Formation.

You activated the Myriad Blight Formation?

That's right.

This time,

I'll lay the formation across the entire Corsac Fox State.

I'll offer the Corsac Fox State as a sacrifice,

let Madam Black Fox take shape,

and help her annihilate the world.

Madam Black Fox promised me

that she'd help me restore the Qianxia Kingdom.

You want to make people 1,000 years later

pay for a mistake from 1,000 years ago?

Gulizan.

-You're insane! -Xueyang, we're running out of time.

Leave this to me.

Go save Poor Dog.

Be safe.

Miss Long, let's go.

I know where the ruins of Qianxia are.

It's just two more lives.

The Myriad Blight Formation has already been activated.

There's no turning back.

What,

you want to kill me?

It's not as simple as you think.

It's okay.

The least I can do is prevent you from

entering the Myriad Blight Formation.

Qingtong.

Do you know how long

I've waited for this moment?

My love for you

is the smallest,

darkest taboo within my heart.

It planted a seed of pain inside me.

That's why I was possessed by the Black Fox.

Those without darkness or desire in their hearts,

whether human or demon,

would never be targeted by her.

And the deepest darkness

within me

is the fear of losing you.

Little Spider.

I have to say,

you really calculated your every step.

Not only did you use your sister as bait to trap the Soldier,

but you also ended up getting your sister herself.

However,

all you've gained is her body.

What do you plan to do

when she wakes up?

I'll uproot the tree seed inside her

and let her live anew under my protection.

Whether she consents or not,

she'll belong to me.

You've finally made up your mind.

Then, as you wish.

As expected of the demon chosen by Madam.

The drama in the Western Regions has begun.

Once you obtain Madam's power,

even if the Soldier breaks free,

you'll have nothing to fear.

Qingtong.

Once my blood

fuses with the tree seed inside you,

that tree seed

will be mine.

My Qingtong

doesn't need any power.

She only needs me.

Fan Yunfei.

Fan Yunfei!

Wake up!

Xueyang.

It's dangerous here.

The formation is expanding.

It will consume this place in the end.

You guys need to leave, now!

Why are you talking so much nonsense?

You're my husband.

There's no way I'm letting go and leaving you behind!

Xueyang.

Xueyang!

Don't do anything stupid!

My father once told me

the Myriad Blight Formation is driven by the power of the 3 clans.

If you try to save me now,

you'll be stepping right into their trap!

Shut up!

I'm not leaving, no matter what!

[Myriad Blight Formation]

The 3 clans have entered the field at the same time.

Gulizan's plan has succeeded.

Guys,

the Myriad Blight Formation has been activated.

Get ready to be reborn!

Black Grief Tree,

absorb the Power of Hatred as much as you want

and grow quickly.

After thousands of years,

I

can finally regain my human form!

This formation is draining our strength.

We have to hurry and save him.

Qingtong.

Hang in there.

Don't worry.

I'm just removing the tree seed from your body.

From now on, I'll be the one to protect you.

Hang in there.

It'll be over in no time.

Qingtong!

Qingtong.

Qingtong.

You lied to me again.

So what?

No way.

How could the secret art of removing the tree seed fail?

You've underestimated me.

Your power comes from the Black Fox.

Since I was able to accept the tree seed that day,

I can purify it today

and break the seal you placed on me.

Qingcheng,

do you know

that if you remove the tree seed from my body,

I'll die?

I had absolutely no idea.

Madam Black Fox,

you actually lied to me.

Tell me.

Where is Young Master Fugui?

Do you know the Ancient Snow Demon?

Now that your Young Master Fugui

has been trapped in her blizzard illusion for so many days,

there's no way he can come back.

Qingtong.

I've told you long ago

that your Young Master Fugui is already dead!

How is it?

Time flies here, doesn't it?

Another day has passed.

I feel so sorry, watching your life slip away.

But soon, I'll be able to feast on you.

You're a demon king after all,

and yet you let the Black Fox use you?

What're you talking about, being used?

Isn't that the truth?

The Black Fox wants me to break the barrier for her.

Before that,

surely she wouldn't kill me.

She must have had you trap me here

for some other purpose.

I know that.

She plans to activate the Myriad Blight Formation

in the Western Regions to absorb immense Power of Hatred

to help her take physical form.

And as for me—

I'll gain your life force.

The Myriad Blight Formation?

That's right.

The Myriad Blight Formation

is an ancient formation from the Western Regions,

set up 1,000 years ago

by Queen Gulizan to resist the berserk dragons

that threatened the Qianxia Kingdom.

The Ancient Snow Demon:

sustained by devoured spirits,

solitary by nature,

born amidst endless snow.

Wicked in nature,

yet untouched in innocence.

Just as the Demon Chronicles recorded.

Every detail rings true.

What's that supposed to mean?

You're trying to trick me?

No.

You must be bluffing.

After all this time,

there's no way your spiritual power is still that strong!

Is that so?

Qianxia's ruins.

The Myriad Blight Formation.

If I hadn't played along with you,

how could I have learned that to activate the Myriad Blight Formation,

you sacrificed the entire Western Regions

to nourish the Black Grief Tree?

Qingcheng...

The Myriad Blight Formation has been activated.

It cannot be reversed.

So what will you do, kill me

or save everyone in the Western Regions?

Make your choice.

Why should he choose?

Young Master Fugui.

Hurry up and go.

We can't let the Black Fox have her way.

Leave this to me.

Qingtong.

You're too naive.

Do you really think you can trap me?

I have no time to waste fighting you.

The Myriad Blight Formation is waiting for me.

Don't think that just because I favor him,

you can sabotage my plan.

[Qianji Hall]

Qingtong.

Are you really going to kill me?

The Black Fox's power comes from the Power of Hatred.

Thank you for that strike.

It's made me even stronger!

The Qingcheng from back then

has long since died!

Or are you saying

that the little brother

who used to follow behind me,

loving meat and candy,

kind and innocent,

never existed

at all?

Is there really something in your heart

that I can't see?

Yes.

I hate those of my own kind who once humiliated me.

I hate Madam Yin.

I hate the Yiqi Alliance.

I hate the Soldier!

I want them all dead!

Let me ask you.

If you were given another chance,

would you still let the Black Fox possess you?

Give me 10,000 chances, and I would make the same choice every time.

Why!

Say it!

Between a kind, insignificant nobody

and a ruthless, unrestrained powerhouse—

give me 10,000 chances,

and I would choose the latter every single time!

But I won't pretend anymore.

You're mine.

You'll always be mine!

If you don't submit,

I'll destroy you!

You're planning to use the tree seed

to perish together with me?

Qingcheng.

The darkness in your heart came into being

because I failed to protect you well since we were little.

I hate you for choosing the wrong path,

but I've never thought of giving up on you!

Little Spider, hurry up and kill her!

Tear apart her tree seed with the Power of Hatred!

Otherwise, we'll all die here!

In the next life,

let's be siblings again.

Once you've gained Madam's power,

you can have any woman you want!

Hurry up and kill her.

Use the Power of Hatred

to tear apart her tree seed!

If you remove the tree seed from my body,

I'll die.

Qingtong.

I just hope

that if one day I die,

you'll be this sad too.

Don't talk nonsense.

My dear Qingcheng

will live a long life.

Yes.

I'll always be with you, Qingtong.

Qingtong.

If there's a next life,

let's meet again,

but not as siblings.

Little Spider, you've lost your mind!

Don't bring me along if you want to die!

Qingcheng!

Qingcheng.

Qingcheng!

Qingcheng!

The core of the Myriad Blight Formation

should be down here.

Enough!

Stop!

If you keep this up,

you'll die!

Even if I die,

I won't let go.

This aura...

It's Fan Yunfei.

He's already at the formation core.

That idiot Qingcheng.

Costing me yet another little black fox

for the sake of a woman.

Fortunately, my transformation into human form is already settled

and cannot be reversed.

Since the Myriad Blight Formation

is still connected to the Grief Tree,

I might as well take this opportunity

to stretch my limbs, add a few tricks to the formation,

and help Gulizan

carry out her plan to annihilate the Western Regions.

Oh no.

The storm's target is the Corsac Fox State.

I must hold this formation off here.

Otherwise, within an hour,

the entire Western Regions will be wiped out.

The Myriad Blight Formation has been activated—heaven and earth

decay together. Your efforts

can only stall it for a bit.

If you want to die this much,

I'll grant your wish.

Kill!

By the might of Heaven and Earth,

the Five Elements converge as one!

Spirits, assemble—guard the source!

Seal!

How amusing.

Someone is actually able to withstand

the Myriad Blight Formation strengthened by me?

Let's see how long this little ant can endure.

This is bad.

Why is the formation storm getting stronger and stronger?

Blight

is to be broken by life!

With the flame of my heart,

burn away this blight and desolation!

Purest...

Sun Flame!

Purest Sun Flame?

Wangquan Fugui, so it's you.

Excellent.

This way, I get to see

whether the legendary strongest Soldier

is truly worth the name earlier than I expected.

That worthless Gulizan

is hopeless after all.

What a waste of my efforts.

But it's fine.

Though the Myriad Blight Formation fell,

I've always had a backup plan,

so her death was not wholly for nothing.

Wangquan Fugui.

This was only a warm-up.

We've still got a long way ahead of us.

Xueyang.

Yunfei.

Xueyang.

Are you alright?

I'm okay.

We did it.

Miss Long.

Thank you.

Where is Rumu?

Celestial Master...

Celestial Master is still trapped with Gulizan.

Let's go.

Qingtong.
