(Great Journey of Teenagers Chapter of Bloodshed in Tianqi)

(Episode 24)

(Heaven granted nine ways to Emperor Yu, and the common sense of ruling a country was established.)

(- The Grand Rules, The Book of History)

I didn't risk my life to get one day of time

to let you get killed.

Xiao Se.

Don't you go there!

It's to you mortals,

a chosen man like me has the gods' favor.

So I'll be safe.

The Celestial Swords Pavilion is bonded with the royal house,

but you know better than me

how those outstanding royal members ended up there for centuries.

Seven people have entered the Celestial Swords Pavilion

since our house built the country,

but only one came out alive.

What did he do afterward?

He said nothing about the Pavilion

and left directly

without returning to Tianqi.

It's said he reached the Immortal Half-step Realm,

but nobody knows what he experienced in there.

I'll die whether I take one step forward

or backward.

So I have to try my luck in the Pavilion.

It might be our only chance to win.

What can we do then?

Only two people can enter it together.

One guards the other

so that he can draw the sword.

What's more,

the guard must be my closest person.

I knew it.

At this moment...

Don't worry, Xiao Se.

I'll guard you,

so I'm sure you will be the first man to draw out the Sky Slasher.

Hold on.

Xiao Se said

it should be his closest person.

Yes.

That's why I should go.

You are Xiao Se's closest person?

How to prove it?

Tell me who is closer to Xiao Se than me?

It'll be me if you

can't name one.

Of course I can.

It's certainly me because I got Xiao Se out

each time he was in trouble.

Nonsense.

It was me who helped him each time!

Xiao Se and Qian Luo have gone to the Pavilion already.

Qianluo?

He can only have one guard,

and it has to be his closest person.

(Swords Hall) What is that absurd rule?

The Sky Slasher

is an unparalleled sword that can only be wielded

by a monarch chosen by Heaven.

If you want to win,

you should enhance your cultivation

to learn a skill to confront the Desolation Sword Arts,

Besides, you need a weapon to rival Nine Odes.

But it's just a conjecture.

Nobody ever drew that sword out after all.

(Peerless Building) Only the Xiaos can enter this place.

Xiao Se.

Okay.

Xiao Se.

Go inside now.

I'll guard here.

Keep your eyes open

and wait for me.

Lad.

What's your purpose here?

The sword.

For what reason?

Fending off a strong enemy

and protecting Beili.

You know who I am?

The one safeguards the Sky Slasher

must be the author of Beili's history,

one of the Five Pillar Generals,

Master Xie Zhize.

You are intelligent indeed.

I heard you followed

when the late Emperor passed away

and that only part of your soul remained in the sword

to protect it

and Beili.

(Xie Zhize, one of the Fiver Pillar Generals of Beili) Beili?

But Beili is going to be ruined because of you.

How so?

The Sky Slasher isn't alone.

There are five artifact weapons in all.

As destiny has it,

the Sky Slasher will be unsheathed today,

and it may wake up the rest of them.

If the five weapons show up at the same time,

the world will change dramatically.

So,

you still want to draw the sword?

I will worry about that in the future.

When the trouble at hand remains unsolved,

how could there be a future?

Right.

Since you entered Tianqi,

you fought rebels,

brothers,

Heaven and Earth.

You did everything

to avenge the people around you that you said.

I won't deny it.

But what if

none of those things is what you want?

What do you mean?

That is...?

The Sky Slasher has recognized you.

It's that simple?

Of course not.

If you want to draw it out,

you should master the late Emperor's State Splitting Sword Arts.

You may reach the peak

of the Unconstrained Sky Realm at least by mastering it.

If you get to the Fourfold Sky Ripping Realm,

it's as strong as the Immortal Half-step Realm.

But can you reach the highest realm

and draw the Sky Slasher out?

I'm afraid not

because your guard

can hold on no longer.

It's also a test for you to bring your closest person here.

Which will be your choice,

the life of that person or the country?

Qianluo!

Xiao Se.

Xiao Chuhe, you really want to give up the Sky Slasher for love?

How can you get the throne in this way?

Then I'll give it up.

Perhaps

I shouldn't take it.

Without the Sky Slasher,

you cannot defeat your strong enemy.

Then those that you love will still die.

That is my business.

You don't have to worry about it.

Xiao Se.

Don't give up halfway.

I can still hang in there.

Let me warn you again.

Once you walk out,

you'll lose it forever.

Like I said before,

I only worry about the present

and the people around me.

Xiao Se.

Don't worry.

Don't you call me the chosen one?

I'm sure

I'll be protected

by the gods in the fight.

There is still a while before the final battle.

Since you've returned early,

you must be quite confident.

Let me say it again,

we didn't mean to hurt Lady Xuan.

The pointless words

are unnecessary.

Further,

even if Yu isn't kind like his mother,

since I'm his adopted father,

I should

handle this till the end.

In order to fight you,

I went to the Celestial Swords Pavilion to invite a sword.

The Celestial Swords Pavilion?

Is that...?

I've invited the famous sword Shatter.

What's more,

I've also

mastered the State Splitting Sword Arts.

You didn't get the Sky Slasher,

so that means you are not the chosen one.

To think I can witness the State Splitting Sword Arts

before avenging Wenjun.

I know there are four levels of it.

What is your level?

I'm slow-witted

and have only reached the first level, Desperate Surviving.

It is impressive indeed,

but your level is no match for me.

The second level, Wind Breaking?

Didn't you just master the first level?

Thanks to your enlightenment,

I have just apprehended it.

Don't look at me in that way.

I came alone first

to see if I could handle it all myself.

We get it.

You didn't want us to be in danger,

so you tried to handle it alone.

Didn't I tell you to recuperate first...?

But your behavior

means we are your burdens.

All right.

I still have one last move.

If I fail,

it will be your turn.

Have you

apprehended the third level,

Dragon Shocking?

It was also apprehended

just now.

To let me lay my guard down,

you said deliberately that you only reached the first level.

You may do anything to reach your goal.

That's really the son of Xiao Ruojin.

I'm flattered.

Xiao Se.

I'm fine.

An impressive young man.

So,

you deserve this strike.

Then

I won't be judged for bullying a junior.

That is...?

Nine Odes Swordsplay,

Mountain Ghost?

My ancestors created the State Splitting Sword Arts

and calmed the country with a just army.

How could we fear your ghosts?

It seems

there is really nothing we can do.

Xiao Se!

Xiao Se.

Though the State Splitting Sword Arts elevated your realm,

without the artifact weapon,

you have no hope to prevail.

I asked to fight you on that day,

but I didn't expect this guy to do it first.

Take it easy.

You will all die.

It will be your turn after I kill Xiao Se.

Back off now!

I know I'm weaker than you,

but

as the leading Guardian Azure Dragon of the Four Guardians of Tianqi,

I will not back off.

The Western Guardian White Tiger of Tianqi.

The Southern Guardian Vermillion Bird of Tianqi.

Stand.

The new Four Guardians of Tianqi?

You are not just weak

but also short of one person.

Not at all.

Tiannv Rui?

You want to be the new Guardian White Tiger...

I am the Guardian White Tiger.

She will be the new Guardian Black Tortoise if she wants.

No.

I will be nobody.

I'm just livening things up

for the return of the real Guardian Black Tortoise.

The Northern Guardian Black Tortoise,

Tang Lian.

I heard

you guys gave me a grand funeral.

Looks like I did it in vain.

Huh?

Aren't you curious

about how I survived?

No,

as long as you are back.

Tang Lian.

Tang Lian.

I missed you so much!

Ami...

I can't hug him,

so I have to hug you.

Father, what are you waiting for?

I will certainly kill them,

but I can wait.

The strong enemy is there.

We can talk about the past

after getting rid of that old guy.

Yes.

Right.

Okay.
